Regarding Nanaya Shiki
Can someone point out where it was mentioned that Nanaya Shiki could run up walls? He never had that kind of inhuman strength. The dreams Shiki was seeing was of Roa, not himself. -Haruyasha 06:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's the part in Tsukihime where Shiki kills Red Akiha (one of the bad endings) in Kohaku's route. He runs up the wall and kicks off the ceiling. TianXia 02:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this whole page be about the white-haired Shiki- the ACTUAL Shiki Tohno? And the Shike Nanaya page will be about the black-haird one..?
 * I do think that the true Tohno Shiki deserves his own page apart from Roa, but not at the cost of this page becoming "Shiki Nanaya". Even if this Shiki was born of the Nanaya family, the name "Nanaya Shiki" only refers to when his personality shifts to that of his cold-blooded, murderous alter ego; his everyday persona is still regarded as "Tohno Shiki".  Besides, everyone in the game refers to him as "Tohno Shiki".  (And there would probably be issues with 'lol spoilers' and all that.) Eternalslumber 18:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

There's a mistake in the article. When SHIKI stabbed Shiki 8 years before the beginning of the storyline, he used no dagger, but the demonic claws he gained through the inversion. This was made pretty clear in his flashbacks during the Akiha route. After all, they were kids and playing outside, why would've he had a dagger? Rexas (talk) 12:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

It's one of the things the anime portrays which is erroneously considered canon (like Roa tricking Aruceid into drinking blood with a rose). I'll edit. -- Psi edit (talk) 02:01, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Satsujinki
A number of links in other Tsukihime related pages refer to something called 'Satsujinki', which then links back to this page. However, nowhere on this page does the term come up. This is confusing, and potentially misleading. Would it be possible for someone to amend this, either fixing the links if its a mistake, or adding an explanation to this page if it is correct BetacommandBot (talk) 06:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Satsujinki is mentioned in the side story "Talk." Satsujinki is essentially an alias that a future version of Shiki goes by, presumably following the Arcreid True path of the original game. You can find more on him in other sites but I'm not sure why its not mentioned here. I thought it was confirmed that "Talk" is a genuine work of Kinoko Nasu; I suppose because it hasn't been released as officially part of that time line? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.37.40 (talk) 04:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Satsujinki is a Japanese pun. It roughly translates as 'Shikiller'. Amatsu-Mikabushi (talk) 08:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Meme notability
In a doujin, this character was the one who uttered the 'a cat is fine too...' phrase which has sort of caught on over the internet. I am wondering if it is notable or widespread enough to bother redirecting the phrase to this article with a note of 'in popular culture' or something like that? A big problem with that though is people will inevitably redirect all sorts of differently spelled variations (more dots, all caps, exclamation marks, etc.) so it could be a bit tough. It's sort of problematic when people scanlate japanese doujin they write it in all-caps like in American comics, because then there's not much of an official note on how to capitalize it. I'm not even sure if they use capital letters in Japan? Tyciol (talk) 21:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

In Tsukihime, there was a H-scene in which Shiki could 'take a guess' at whom would enter his room. Whomever was chosen would be the partner, as the whole event is dream caused by the succubus Len. As an easter egg, the translators of the game added a parody of the aforementioned choice. One of the humourous choices was "Neco-Arc" the cat form of Arcueid. (A joke, not really her form... I think...) Upon selection of the choice, the following text would appear on screen: ... A cat is fine too. "Hey there Shiki, are you in the mood for a cat scratch fever~nya?" (Neco-Arc appears.) Then a large paw with the words "CAT END" appear.

So, it's just a joke that somehow turned into a meme. Since Shiki Tohno is the protagonist, he doesn't 'utter' the words per se. Don't know who spread that meme about, since I sincerely doubt that more than 1 out of 15 people that use that phrase knows what it means. Amatsu-Mikabushi (talk) 08:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
