Nanaya is the unused part of Shiki because the Nanaya clan were a group of humans who killed dangers to humanity like vampires and monsters. This is also why Shiki has such strong impulses when near a vampire, his Nanaya blood is telling him that the creature should not exist in this world, it needs to be destroyed. Considering that he not only has a sister who is basically a vampire, but is in a relationship with a true vampire, he obviously doesn't agree with those feelings.

This Nanaya has eyes because, like those created by the Tatari, he's a representation of fear and rumors. He's just the personification of the Satsujinki, the killer which Shiki fears to become if he's overcome by Nanaya's bloodlust. Nanaya just tends to use his family's killing techniques instead of his eyes most of the time due to him being... er... a Nanaya.

I hate how Nanaya basically dies in both his endings for Act-Cadenza and Re-ACT. Sure he dies epically in them, but I feel that considering he's one of the most liked characters in Tsukihime/Melty Blood, I can't help but think that he deserves better than two endings of ironic inevitability.

Wow I stumbled acroos a comment section from 13 years ago dood Hi from the future dood 👋

You have Shiki Tohno, a good guy who was trained as a toddler/boy to be an assassin/killer of the supernatural. Nanaya(created by Tatari and then White Len) is what Shiki fears he could become, a merciless killer that enjoys his work and disregards life.

It's a play on words. Fusing together the name Shiki, and the Japanese word for murder, satsujin, becomes Satsujinki. In English some people have translated this to "Shikiller", which is surprisingly similar to the Japanese meaning. Other than that, argent is right. It's set after Arc's True End, and Shiki's eyes have become so powerful that only burial cloth from the Church wrapped over them can make him not see death. It even says he kills a Dead Apostle without it even knowing.

I know why because I'm feeling the same way about it lmao. The protagonist for this is Nanaya, and he basically knows he's gonna "die" after the fights are over with. You feel sad about it because Nanaya > all XD

Wifi is good if you stand close to the router

With Type-Moon, it's a bit odd. There's a character named Zelretch who has the ability to travel across parallel universes, all with altered possibilities. Most people have accepted this as every ending in Tsukihime being canon in its own universe, so the same probably applies to Melty Blood. But there are certainly some endings that are "more" canon than others, Shiki Tohno and Akiha come to mind, since their after battle talks usually imply the opponent lives.

3:51 *"Truth is... the game was rigged from the start."*

White Len was created from the remains of Tatari, and is a copy of the original Len, although opposite is almost every way, similar to what a mirror does, if you raise your right hand, the mirror image raises its left. That metaphor is further used in Len's Act Cadenza ending when White Len is literally on the other side of the mirror when talking with Len.

The racist himself

And that's what he did >wO cause Nanaya is badass like that.

It's been a while since I've played Melty Blood, so some things may be inaccurate. In this, White Len(Or Ren, however you prefer it)created Shiki Nanaya. She was created from a piece of the defeated Dead Apostle TATARI by Aoko Aozaki, so her abilities are like TATARI's in that she can create things that otherwise shouldn't exist. Unlike TATARI though, she can create without having to spread rumors of a murderous being.

Aoko says that she will slam Nanaya to hell, but there's one thing that didn't occur to her. She's not Chuck Norris. Not even Satsujinki can kill Chuck Norris because he cannot die. It's that simple. His death is something that is not able to be percieved by ANYONE.

I'm just going to put this here as it seems people still don't know A. The original work, the Tsukihime *visual novel*. Or B. How to read a wiki. Tohno Shiki, the protagonist was part of the Nanaya family, when the Nanaya clan was slaughtered, he was adopted by Makihisa Tohno. The Nanaya Shiki seen here is a separate entity, a fake, created by Tatari (or Len in Kagetsu Tohya) he represents the fear Shiki has of becoming a merciless killer. He also does not have Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which I assume is because he hasn't faced death, nor is he the real Shiki. Hope this clears that up. I know these comments were made years ago, but they are still somewhat painful to read.

Nanaya so cool

The ending line is COLD

"Satsujinki" is the name that the Dead Apostles gave Shiki when he decided to guard Arcueid until she woke up, but I'm not certain if it's actually canon.

Nanaya is bloodline persona, some think Nanaya is true name to Shiki Tohno, Nanaya have killed by Real Tohno Shiki(Dude silver/White hair, lastest time called Roa) in 8 years, by accident is called Tohno Shiki, it´s not true name, true self is named nanaya. e.e

I havent played Kagetsu Tohya so I really dont understand why Nanaya Shiki dont have death perception in that one, but it seemed pretty clear that he has it in tsukihime. Maybe they're diffenent entities. I've always thought that Nanaya Shiki is simply a personality of Shiki that is driven by the impulses of his Nanaya blood: to kill demons using superhuman abilities.

He has the mystic eyes because he shares Shiki's body.

man do I wanna play melty blood soo bad

Oh! Really? So White Len created Nanaya? Oh man! Didn't she had Nanaya as her new master? You know that Nanaya is suppossed to be with Tohno. And NANAYA (Shiki Tohno) is suppossed to be our PROTAGONIST!

Assuming for a minute the Melty Blood storyline of White Len giving physical form to Nanaya and becoming his familiar is not canon(Which, it probably is not), Nanaya and Tohno are one in the same. Nanaya is just simply his repressed urges to kill supernatural creatures that threaten humanity, so you're right. Nanaya doesn't have Death Perception in KT because the entire story is an ongoing dream fabricated by Len. If I recall correctly, Tohno doesn't have it either.

I forget. I just remember hearing it from somewhere. I think that I heard that stuff from a few comments on a video. You should try to look up Satsujinki on Wikipedia.

Damn, so many people other than myself who knows the background of the Tsukihime universe....

wait how would Nanaya kill Nero if he didn't have the MEoDP? wouldn't that require wiping out all of the 666 existences at once?

My mistake. If you add MBAA then it's three bad endings...

But he clearly uses them in Melty Blood, doesn't he?

So, this "Nanaya Shiki" killed his own sempai, Aoko? Wouldn't his "Tohno Shiki" personalaty keep him from killing her? Because I can't imagine him living with the idea that his own hands killed her, abiet not by his own will

umm question. obviously the character arcade endings aren't canon right? because it seems that the opponents you beat in every character's arcade mode die by your hand? is that true?

What did he mean by "the mirror is gone"? And what is it meant by, "unused part of Shiki"? Ahhh I'm so curious. If you could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated.

where was this from?

who is Satsujinki? sorry nanaya for dieing

Can someone tell me the name of the ost when he fought Aoko?

3:53 name of music, please?
