* This clears a number of things up, such as what exactly happened to Nrvnqsr in the Far Side routes (he met SHIKI, decided two killers were one two many for the town, and ended up leaving), and what was going on when the point-of-view protagonist slaughtered a number of people in cold blood in the alley (it was actually SHIKI). Also, the idea of SHIKI and Nrvnqsr having a conversation -- while Nrvnqsr binges on coffee -- is made of funny. The only questions are how SHIKI has Nanatsu Yoru (maybe Makihisa got multiple blades from the Nanaya? SHIKI's blade is said to be similar to Shiki's, and there's reason only one such knife has to exist) and why Nrvnqsr blocked with a knife rather than a beast (who knows).

**It is hard to say there is really no rumor. Shiki doesn't seem to have any friend but Arihiko, who is tells about the missing student in the Far Side routes. In the Near Side, however, Ciel is in the classroom in the second day, so Arihiko (and Shiki) are busy chatting with her instead of paying attention in the rumors. Since the teachers sat nothing unless asked, and Shiki can't ask about what he doesn't know, it is fairly possible she still goes missing but Shiki(thus, the player) never notices it himself.

Prana is a term made to distinguish between two types of mana in Nasuverse. The term does not exist in the Japanese source materials.

Added DiffLines:

*** Strictly speaking there is no such thing as 'prana' in the setting. Mana can refer to both the Greater Source and Lesser Source. Familiars are typically sustained by their contractor's Lesser Source energy.

They are different from the ones of the Shiki of ''KaraNoKyoukai'' and SHIKI says in Drinking Dreaming Moon that he can't see the lines because of the eyes but because he understands death well, using the fact he is talking with him and that he can see Akiha's hair as proofs. In fact, he actually says Shiki's eyes AREN'T of Death Perception.

* I haven't gotten far enough in KaraNoKyoukai to learn of Touko's goal and why it contradicts the Shinsou (and so I can't argue against the WordOfGod alternate reality), but yes, different versions of people certainly exist in multiple universes. On the other hand, while the odds of two people having Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is incredibly low, the different circumstances of the Shikis doesn't really rely on those odds all that much. Ryougi's eyes are an in-born ability, that started to be expressed after her two-year long coma/exposure to death. Nanaya's eyes are a total accident; he already had the Pure Eyes ability of seeing mystical things that were otherwise unseeable, and his near-death experience caused his brain to start perceiving lines of Death. Barring some really weird chaos theory explanation, it doesn't seem like those events would necessarily interact at all, let alone counter each other to the extent of necessitating an alternate universe. Quoth [[TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Trillian]], it's not impossible, just very, very improbable.

*** That would be something not only transparently greedy and therefore pointlessly stupid, but also completely out-of-character for Type-Moon. Again, why exactly would they do something like that, rather than include "extracanonical" information in a single game...like they did with every other game they've released? It's not like they bothered going [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo the Pokemon route]] with Kagetsu Tohya, Melty Blood, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, Fate/Unlimited Codes, etc. Also, if you were talking ''fan'' considerations of canon...why would that affect what the company did?

** That makes it even more apt. If prana isn't energy, then the creation of objects which aren't phantasms is ''also'' violating the laws of physics and creating matter out of nothing, but energy and matter are basically the same thing in two different states by way of E=MC2. And the reversal of the reality marble (Going by this WMG) is actually Satsuki's transformation into a vampire, gain without loss is the natural state of her origin before she gets turned. I don't know if it's possible at all for an origin to change, but if anything in the Nasuverse could do it, it would be the corruption of the soul that comes with the transformation into a vampire.

Just because he was useless in the original...and Shiki threat Arihiko as he does sometimes with [[OfficialCouple Arcueid]]...

[[WMG: Tsukihime 2 will have 5/6 editions]]
Okay, for near 99.9% of the fans, Arcueid's true ending/Good ending is the canon one, but there are fans of the other's routes. Word of god have stated that the true endings of the five routes are canon, but just alternate continuities. So, the game can continue the story of the first game's routes releasing more than one edition. Like ''Tsukihime 2: Arcueid edition'' or ''Tsukihime 2: Hiusui edition''' or ''Tsukihime 2: [[HoYay Arihiko edition]], [[{{Squick}} uncensored]]''...

*** So she's a potential user of Blue, then? Also, backtracking a bit, prana not being energy is false, because both of its component types of mana and od are both described as forms of energy on the Nasuverse wiki. So Shirou ''is'' converting energy into matter, he's just doing it in a way that the world recognizes as being unnatural. Also, it ''is'' possible for a person's origin to change under exceptional circumstances, Ryougi Shiki's origin was "conflict" prior to her receiving the MEoDP, whereupon it changed into "void".

*** Creation of objects is physics breaking and Gaia doesn't like it, so she smites projected stuff. Basically. Being changed into a vampire doesn't affect your reality marble, it just means you're going to live a long time and eventually become what you really are deep down. That's why most of the high ranking, ancient vampires have reality marbles. Satsuki is a freak ''and'' already fits the conditions of loss without gain, so that's why in the bonus material she's a Dead Apostle Ancestor (freakish inherent abilities) that already has Depletion Garden. You can't really reverse a Reality Marble except saying what ''would'' happen. Even if she could somehow gain without loss, it would only be increasing the prana in the area around her. She couldn't create matter or energy with it. Shirou's Reality Marble comes close because he actually makes ''things.''

* The First Magic is suspected to be the creation of objects through magic that never disappear or fade like normal projected items do. Prana is not energy, either. Or not exactly. Satsuki does not create with Depletion Garden. Also, her Reality Marble would not reverse its abilities so easily. If she really did feel that she had gained something without losing, it would probably become unusable or weaker. Like how UBW became unusable in HF route.

[[WMG: Satsuki is either a wielder or THE wielder of The First Magic]]
Very little has been stated about the nature of The First Magic; the official explanation is that it's "the denial of nothingness", and I believe Rin states somewhere in FSN that Shirou's projection magic is vaguely similar to it (in the sense of an inferior knock-off, I think she said). The opposite of nothingness is existence, and if it's related to projection magic then the most logical conclusion is that The First Magic relates to the Law of Conservation of Energy, which (for the physics-impaired tropers among us) states that matter and energy cannot be destroyed or created, they can only change from one form to another. Shirou's tracing arts relies on a supply of prana in order to project the weapon, so it doesn't count as this... but if energy can't be destroyed, ''then what exactly is Depletion Garden doing?''

I'll ''tell'' you what it's doing; Depletion Garden functions as a pale shadow of the abilities Satsuki would have had if she'd been able to realize the full extent of her magical potential. "Loss without gain" is the result of having her origin and her magic warped by her transformation into a vampire and having all her hopes/dreams/everything crumble to dust around her. A theoretical Good End Satsuki would most likely remain a human and win Shiki's heart, thus gaining everything she's ever wanted and losing nothing in return: "gain without loss". The corresponding ability would be a reality marble that creates an infinite supply of prana.

*** Shiki's a helluva lot faster than Shirou, who could (briefly) hold his own against certain servants. No, Shiki's main disadvantage is the WordOfGod pointing out that his Mystic Eyes don't work against servants, meaning he's basically a normal human against them (and his habit of "dying hard" wouldn't work as well as Shirou's regeneration).

*** Um...Satsuki ''is'' dead. She explicitly and visibly dies in three game routes, and is implied to be either dead or not-vamped in two more (it's only her own, plus Melty Blood, where she's clearly alive and a vampire). Shiki's Pure Eyes are canon, as the retconned explanation for why he can see Akiha's hair, and as a partial explanation for his Mystic Eyes. He's actually little different from Ryougi, in that sense; Nanaya got the Eyes of Death Perception after a near-death experience revealed the lines to his "seeing hidden things" power, Ryougi got hers due to her ability to see the Akashic Record and the near-death experience that killed [[spoiler:her male personality]]. Also, I'm pretty sure Drinking, Dreaming Moon ''was'' written by Nasu. It was just the last three Nights of Dream that were ascended fanfiction.

*** While its possible Kohaku could have drugged Shiki the one day she had access to him on near side routes, its pretty doubtful, especially when you actually pay attention to what she says in Hisui's and her own routes about how she somewhat hoped he would figure out who she was. Two, shes not psychotic in the way your describing. She does what she does because she thinks she should...because thats how any person with an actual sense of self or emotions would act. She wouldn't enjoy torturing Akiha by making Shiki suffer because she doesn't actually enjoy ANYTHING (At least she doesn't think she does). Also while she knows she was (was being a key word) angry at Shiki for breaking her doll facade as a child she doesn't consider him an actual target for revenge, hes either a casualty or a tool towards her killing Makihisa, SHIKI, and Akiha, hence why shes fine with him surviving Hisui's true ending.

*** Actually the Tsukihime crew would have a huge issue to overcome, which is range. Shiki's Nanaya side doesn't actually increase his speed beyond that of a human, which means hes still too slow to fight a servant. Throw in the fact that hes using the [[KnifeNut shortest range weapon imaginable]] and would die from being hit from even a single strike by most servants and hes in an awful spot.




to:

**Drinking, Dreaming Moon however is basically just fan fiction. It wasn't written by Nasu, and considering it claims Satsuki as dead it can't be canon in at least two routes, not to mention her own potential route. I do however agree Shiki probably has a basic form of Mystic Eyes. That was the Nanaya's hat in the Demon Hunter organization along with they're massive inbreeding to keep they're genetic muscle memory skills.

Len would have a much easier time taking elements and events from Shiki's memories than inventing them whole cloth. In fact, the dream starts to collapse when Shiki goes somewhere he hasn't been to in waking life; SoYeah; for example, he's never been to the Barbecue place outside of town; he had just heard about it. ''However'', here's the tricky thing. It's not just what Shiki has done, but also his nearby AlternateUniverse selves have done as well. When discovered that Arcueid is awake, that she is dead, that she is in her castle in the moon sleeping; the dream says that Shiki has access to ''all'' of the routes. So...none of his selves had been to the Barbecue place, and apparently nobody else whose dream memories intersect his has either.

On the other hand, while the odds of two people having Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is incredibly low, the different circumstances of the Shikis doesn't really rely on those odds all that much. Ryougi's eyes are an in-born ability, that started to be expressed after her two-year long coma/exposure to death. Nanaya's eyes are a total accident; he already had the Pure Eyes ability of seeing mystical things that were otherwise unseeable, and his near-death experience caused his brain to start perceiving lines of Death. Barring some really weird chaos theory explanation, it doesn't seem like those events would necessarily interact at all, let alone counter each other to the extent of necessitating an alternate universe.
