@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues The question is whether they will ever release Tsukihime 2.
Some say the remake erased the original Tsukihime, but I don't believe that, since the Nasuverse has always dealt with multiverses. So... perhaps the original Tsukihime is still canon within Stay Night.
@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues Technically there is a double reason, since Ciel also sought to die as a human.
And no, I don't think she can completely leave the church, but without a doubt, that Ciel has a more organic reason to keep living.
@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues Now if we focus on Shiki, his best ending was Ciel's route.
He left his past behind, Roa left with Nanaya, got rid of his traumas and his health improved.
Only Ciel's and Kohaku's routes resolve the issue of Shiki and Nanaya, although it's not as explicit in Kohaku's route.
@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues As for Kagetsu Tohya, yes, it has lore and we get to know some of the characters better. But there are things that shouldn't be taken too seriously.
@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues Even the "boyfriend" thing is practically a joke.
And to seal the deal completely, the good ending isn't canon. That's simply because Shiki would never have accepted Arcueid after everything that happened in Ciel's route.
@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues Furthermore, Kagetsu Tohya offers interactions and events of Shiki x Ciel (the summer date) and also events with the other heroines.
That's not to mention that the story is practically a loop.
Therefore, it cannot be taken completely seriously.
@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues Kohaku and Hisui never overcome their traumas, Ciel continues to live as a human weapon, and Akiha continues to bear the burden of carrying on Shiki's life.
You say it's an absolute happy ending because you're using Shiki's perspective.
@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues I wouldn't say that Tsukihime revolves solely around Arcueid, since Akiha, for example, had a much more important role in the story, and Shiki's entire backstory and life are connected to Akiha.
@NimaximusT@q3HPToPcasdDgfW@misterrblues Ciel's route was a bad ending for Arcueid, but in return, Ciel found happiness. Not to mention that in OG Tsukihime, Ciel is practically a reflection of Shiki.
@AlexesTsokanos@misterrblues Yes, everyone is guilty except Arcueid...
Literally, Ciel in the remake is a white dove compared to OG Ciel.
Even the "hate" always came from Arcueid.
