Hi, i wanted to talk about some possible upgrades for various characters.
We'll start with Aoko Aozaki. In Type Moon Fourth Character Poll she was stated to be the strongest magic user :
無題ドキュメント
Here is the quote: 最強のマジックユーザー。If translated, it says that she is the most powerful magic user, which should make her superior to Zelretch. So she should get Low 1-C, possibly 1-C for when she uses her magic.
The second character is Araya Souren. This also comes from Type Moon Fourth Character Poll:
"A boss character with excellent long-range attacks and a powerful fighting style befitting his imposing stature. An all-rounder capable of fighting from any range, Araya is a Power Type on par with Nrvnqsr and Kishima Kouma."
This is also seemingly referenced in Melty Blood, where Shiki Ryougi commented that Nrvnqsr was easier to defeat than Araya.
So Araya should be upgraded to 6-C, Low 6-B with magecraft (since he should be capable of generating an amount of power comparable to that of Nero's strongest beasts).
This would also apply to Kouma Kishima, who should get a likely Low 6-B due to being equal to Nrvnqsr.
Now we move on Ryougi Shiki.
In Melty Blood Actress Again, Ryougi defeated Nrvnqsr Chaos and even called him a "trash tier monster". This should be mentioned in her speed section.
She also has this statement: "A listless girl who who wears both Eastern and Western clothes by wearing a leather jacket on top of her kimono. A character that seems have to have taken only the best parts of two characters: Tohno Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and Nanaya Shiki's Nanaya Techniques. Every movement is high-spec, with no opening in either her offense or defense. However, attacks that do not use either her knife or her katana deal surprisingly low damage".- Character Introduction from Tsukihime's fourth Character Popularity Poll
This means that she should be comparable to Nanaya.
My proposal would be to change her speed justification to Massively Hypersonic reactions and combat speed (Easily defeated Nrvnqsr Chaos. Stated to be comparable to Nanaya Shiki)
Also, she should be upgraded to 6-C because she was able to scar Araya during their first encounter without her Mystic Eyes. her durability should also be upgraded to 6-C due to barely surviving a punch from Araya.
Most importantly, she is missing a key for when she wields her katana and activates her self hypnosis ability. it is an entirely different state compared to her usual knife wielding self:
"A long, long, time ago. Samurai had been said to accept killing and be killed naturally the moment their swords were drawn. This wasn't because of an emotional state as a warrior. The instant they gripped the handle, they would awaken.
Their bodies transform into ones existing only for killing, their brains turn into ones moving only for survival.
This wasn't beyond the level of bracing oneself before a match. By drawing their katana, the functions of their brain switched. They were not switching their body to one suited for battle. Their brain was remaking their bodies into one fit for combat.
By doing so, the muscles work in a way that should not be used by living beings, and the veins change the circulation route of the blood, prevent them from even breathing. ... Yes, human functions useless in battle are completely ejected as they are transformed into a part meant for war.
"That stance. So you transformed yourself by autosuggestion. I'm surprised." The woman in the kimono answered, yes, to the muttering of the pained magus.- KnK novel
She is stated to be far more powerful:
This is also confirmed by Araya in the Novel:
"Compared to how she is know, her normal self cannot even match up to her".- KnK novel
In this state Shiki was considerably superior to Araya in speed, who should scale to Kouma and Nero Chaos due to the aforementioned statement :
"Araya became witness to it.
The extraordinary feat of the girl, moving after his scream, then acting faster than his scream.
Both arms, holding the katana, came up, at a speed fast enough to be mistaken for a flash. "
"He only opened the palm of his hand and clenched it. But just doing that, however was too slow in the face of Ryougi Shiki's sprint.
Araya, having no time to say anything or to even think, received it. . Ryougi Shiki burst forth."
"But, she, with just one swing, simultaneously obliterated the two outer barriers within range, then took one step forward.
If her sword swung at godlike speed, how fast was her movement?
Ryougi Shiki with only one step covered a space of four meters.
Her body flowed. The one step she walked was at the same time a step to repeat her deadly slashes. It almost even seemed as if with her unbelievably fast body, time wasn't so much as being stopped but rewound."
"The magus, Araya Souren - possessing the physical prowess to dodge even a speeding bullet after it was fired - leapt back after he had been completely cut, while not realizing he had been." - KnK Novel
And Araya admitted that he would have died if it wasn't for his barrier:
"That attack just now indeed would have brought him a fatal wound. Had Shiki's second slash killed not two, but three of his barriers, Araya's body would have been cleaved in two from the torso.
The magus's closest one, his first barrier, Fugu, prevented that. Its protection faintly slowed her advance, sparing him a fatal wound." -KnK Novel
What's most impressive is that Ryougi did this while being critically injured and not in top conditions:
Ryougi Shiki looked at the magus, still in the stance of swinging the katana. A stream of fresh blood dripped from her lips. She had not received any injuries. It was simply just her wounds from last night opening. With several ribs and organs damaged, blood regurgitated out from her mouth by her merely walking." -KnK Novel
"Coughing, blood dripped from her mouth. Had yesterday's injuries not been there, she would have slashed at the magus without rest and may have decapitated him." -KnK Novel
She also tanked Araya's strongest spell and kept fighting as if nothing happened despite being severely injured :
Shuku, he said, compressing the space with the palm of his hand.
Impact besieged Ryougi Shiki's body with force that could crush all the bones in her body from all directions.
She uttered a dying groan.
The red jumper was shredded and the girl in the white kimono fell to the floor.
No, she was going to fall to the floor.
- Ryougi Shiki disappeared simply. But Shiki didn't want to let him escape.
She should have been definitely been unconscious, but her white body jumped up.
She had only been looking at the death of Araya Souren's body.
The katana was swung.
It struck the center of the magus' chest.
The magus felt his life being sucked away and reviled the feeling.
"Fool!"
Araya at the same time, in disbelief, kicked Shiki.
It had been a middle kick, striking her stomach with his heel, like a spear.
But Shiki jumped back, avoiding it.
The katana came out and it was then that Araya realized.
To stop her, he....
"So I must destroy my entire world!"- KnK Novel
So Ryougi should get another key which should be called With self hypnosis or With Kanesada Kuji with at least Massively Hypersonic speed (since she speedblitzed Araya despite being half dead) and at least 6-C durability (due to her surviving Araya's space crushing spell despite having her ribs and organs damaged).
The last character i will talk about is Akiha, specifically her Kohaku route version.
She is stated in Plus Period to be possibly stronger than Arcueid:
"In one of the routes, she ended up inverting and demonstrating her power to its fullest extent. That dreadful form, with its fluttering vermilion hair, is probably capable of exceeding even a rampaging Arcueid." - TSUKIHIME Dictionary: Tohno Akiha [Person's name], p.185
So she should get another key representing her Kohaku route self when she is at full power with 6-C stats.
We'll start with Aoko Aozaki. In Type Moon Fourth Character Poll she was stated to be the strongest magic user :

She is stated to be far more powerful:
Q: How big is the difference in strength between Shiki when she's wielding a katana, and Shiki when she's wielding a knife? <Seiya> Nasu: The difference is enough that if there was a Rakkyo Warriors game, Katana Shiki would be the player and Knife Shiki would be the opponent. Takeuchi: Amazing!! Umm… It is amazing, right? Nasu: Let's take the fight scene from the middle of Chapter 5 as a convenient example. In this scenario, Shiki would be "Katana Shiki", and all the apartment residents would be "Knife Shiki" |
