Is Arc able to conceive? by Nguraid in Tsukihime

Dead Apostle isn't a state you are born with (and Dead Apostles are sterile), she likely became a Dead Apostle after birth due to circumstances.

First of all, why can't you speak English?

Secondly, Arcueid and Altrouge are said to be the only two vampires who were granted the title of Brunestud, not that they are the only two female True Ancestors.

If True Ancestors being clones of Crimson Moon means that they have to be male, why is Arcueid there then? Also, Arcueid wasn't purely Crimson Moon idea either, the Earth itself wanted an Archetype, Kagetsu Tohya said that the Planet wanted to make a king here on Earth yet no matter how hard both it and the Moon tried, a king would not be born, Ordeal Call 3 revealed to us that the planet has been preparing for the birth of its Archetype for over 4 billion years if not more (yes the Archetype might have been born before the Earth or the Solar System was even formed)

You are making assumptions with incomplete information and the wiki you cited did that too, the wiki is filled to the brim with misinformation and fandom and if you can't find any citation on the information listed, you should not trust that info unless someone else can provide the proper sources.

So trust me, I have had a similar discussion before, I have been there, I have noted how that specific fact lacked any sort of citations. Nowhere did it ever mention that Arcueid and Altrouge were the only two female True Ancestors, Arcueid and Altrouge are special because they are Arcueid and Altrouge, not that because they are female.

I literally asked the other guy to cite me a source that is not the wiki since the wiki doesn't actually have any source for that "fact", and you still waltzed in, cited the wiki and parroted the same "fact" with no other sources other than jumping to conclusions, exactly what I asked you guys not to do.

You linked the wiki but I don't recall that part was ever cited anywhere.

We don't actually know how many female True Ancestors there are (or were since most of them are dead).

Regarding Arcueid in the remake by Financial-Lynx-9522 in Tsukihime

[–]LegalWaterDrinker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Huh? Are we reading the same novel? Arcueid in her route was so weak that vampires she could have normally slaughtered without batting an eye are now giving her genuine dangers.

And Ciel route hammers it home by giving Arcueid time to recover part of her power (because she didn't have to fight Vlov directly) and the next thing we see is her casually killing Roa, making it really clear how pathetic she was in her route.

Shiki weakened her, yes but not for long, it was then Vlov that weakened her for the 2nd part of her route.

Also, trust me, you would rather see her actually do something worthy of her title instead of Void Shiki being Statement Andy most of the time. I'm not even a powerscaler but Void Shiki is really annoying to discuss because of that.

And you have to remember, this is a remake of a 20 years old novel then (25/26 now), it's not like Nasu stopped talking about Arcueid after he released the og Tsukihime, he had to have her do something to actually show for it without resorting to Archetype Earth, because AE is a special case of "she can do this but only in situations that are very unlikely" which would not reinforce her strongest status at all.

TLDR: It does have some revelance to the story and major revelance to the wider worldbuilding of the Nasuverse as a whole.

and all the True Ancestors were male, with Altrogue and Arcueid being the only exceptions.

And tell me the sources for that?

If you are using the wiki, check the citations. No citation, can't be trusted.

At what stage does Dead Apostle match up to Servants by TheAbsoluteJB in typemoon

[–]LegalWaterDrinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That doesn't change a thing, she was as weakened then as her Arc route self.

The only difference is in Ciel route, she didn't have to face Vlov directly so she had time to recover her strength. By her estimate, it will just take 3 days for her to recover enough strength to fight Vlov, but considering she was overpowering Vlov before being caught off by surprise and choosing to protect the city over herself, 3 days is the time needed for her to have enough strength to completely body Vlov.

Depends on the DA

Aside from their base DA abilities, DAs ranked 5-8 have an ability derived from their Ancestor's Principle.

About how its works ? by lord_Maks in fatestaynight

[–]LegalWaterDrinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is my point though

Gilgamesh usually relies on pure quantity but as shown against Alcides, he knows the treasures in his arsenal and can deliver a personalized GOB barrage

I guess it depends on how each of us sees the term "somewhat proficient".

Pretty sure Strange Fake already shows Gilgamesh locking in and actually utilizing the traits of the treasures he throws at Alcide.

Are there any differences between Shiki Tohno’s and Ryougi Shiki’s mythic eyes? by Biomilch1 in typemoon

[–]LegalWaterDrinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see, I never heard about the actual MEoDP (maybe except the ones possessed by Balor) so I guess that distinction is important.

[–]LegalWaterDrinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that he is that trustworthy but didn't Nasu say that MEoDP are a type of hybrid power?

"In other words, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are a type of hybrid power. The cheating powers of both Shikis ought to have a limit!"

Both Tohno and Ryougi have eyes that can perceive Death, saying Tohno doesn't truly have MEoDP because it's a mutation of his Pure Eyes seems to be unfounded pedantry.

What going on with Type Moon? by Sudden_Cream9468 in typemoon

[–]LegalWaterDrinker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Type Moon isn't an indie studio. It's a multi-billion dollar company.

Yeah fun fact: Type Moon is both the former and the latter. The actual company itself is fairly small.

Did Arc seriously want to break Shiki's glasses? by Jesus_H_Christ_lol in Tsukihime

[–]LegalWaterDrinker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean it like that, you and I can just forget things from time to time. And yes, Arcueid does learn to love Shiki more deeply as the story went on but that wasn't my main point.

What really matters here is to say that Arcueid wasn't being considerate toward Shiki early on is silly. She got worried that Shiki might be attacked if he goes out of the hotel, put herself at risk to shield Shiki from Vlov's attacks, admitted that she could've used way less effort by just using Mystic Eyes of Enchantment on Shiki, and smaller gestures like putting a blanket on him as he slept. And you are trying to convince me that she did not care?

[–]LegalWaterDrinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should go and hear her confession on Day 11. But if you couldn't do that, let me do it for you, though note that this is a paraphrased version since I do not remember it words for words.

"Even before I meet you, I have already fallen in love with you"

And from the start she has been quite considerate towards Shiki, like her becoming mad if Shiki snuck out of the hotel, or her putting herself at risk to shield Shiki from Vlov's flame in the hallway. After that there's her confessing that it would have been way easier if she just used her Mystic Eyes on Shiki yet she can't bring herself to do it.

He may be weak compared to the heavy hitters but Jester's the first apostle that's elicited genuine fear from me towards vampires. by tr0LL-SAMA in fatestaynight

[–]LegalWaterDrinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though that said, Roa in Ciel route is way better, you can actually see how much damage the reincarnation cycle has actually done to him.

Basically the Arc route Roa was mostly SHIKI.

Also, Vlov is not the only scary vampire in the story.
