Who are the most tragic characters Nasu has written in his works? Plenty of them lived shit lives, but which were fucked-over by the plot the most? Anything he wrote is fine. Fate/Zero doesn't count.

Personal ranking:
1) Liang Qi - Seeing it animated possibly made it far more brutal, but her entire character was her suffering because she fell in love with an emotionless bitch. Her delving deeper into insanity was painful to watch and her relationship with Cummings was interesting.

2) SHIKI - Completely rejected by his loved ones, but still lived happily when he was younger.

3) Bazett - Dreamed of saving Lancer from his cruel fate, but had her arm chopped-off
by Kotomine. Continued to repeat the Grail War over and over again


4) Lancer - shit-tier luck

5) Fujyou - Sick in hospital bed and eventually killed herself

Other mentioned would be Elisia, Sakura, and Hakkoh.

Enjou Tomoe gets an honorable mention for being the person in Kara no Kyoukai that suffers the most, and is barely relevant to the story, except for his suffering. I mean, the guy's origin is "worthlessness." You can't get more suffering than that unless you go full on Lancer.

Sacchin gets top billing, just because, of all the characters to not have routes that at one time did have one planned, she's the only one NOT to show up in a fandisk scenario. Illya and Rider get their own segments. Hell, Shiki's first sexual encounter shows up in Kagetsu Tohya. Sacchin? Her only role in Kagetsu Tohya is to remind Shiki that dead people can't come back, no matter how much you'd like them to, even if you're dreaming.

Anything after first place isn't that important. Lancer gets to be awesome in every path he's in. Bazett gets her own fan disk. Liang Qi is so fucking insane BEFORE she goes fucking insane that it's hard to empathize with her. SHIKI was a bro. Fujyou has the unfortunate problem of being distantly related to the maids, which is just an extension of her misfortune.

She was sadistic at the start, but not quite insane. I'd say after the bombing incident after Alphard told her off is when she completely cracked. Of course, Alphard continues to give two shits no matter how hard she tried to impress her. I don't see how you can't pity her.

SHIKI is a bro. When Shiki got "adopted," SHIKI was the only one besides Hisui that reached out to him. SHIKI is the only reason Akiha and Shiki even consider themselves family, and it's because he made Shiki get involved in all their playing.

Remember, SHIKI doesn't even know who Shiki is in far side when he's trying to kill him, at least not until Akiha's path. He's been driven so insane by imprisonment, his father's punishment, and Kohaku's manipulations that he isn't even aware of who the impostor is that replaced him until it's too late.

Besides, he has his demon blood and Roa Inside driving him batshit. If it weren't for that, the real Tohno SHIKI would've been an awesome guy.

Kohaku can't be the most tragic, because her story is the true ending of Tsukihime and she gets the best redemption out of all of Nasu's heroines. Kohaku, in the end, at least gets something out of all of her troubles.

Hisui. Nothing bad happens to her. Everyone else suffers horribly, but even in the path where everyone dies, Hisui goes on with Shiki. Out of all the Tsukihime women, Hisui's worst suffering is being forced to act like her sister for years.

Fate? Probably Taiga or Rin. Taiga literally has nothing bad happen to her (except for Caster), and doesn't get a route, but gets huge time in the main game and HA. Rin gets a path, and only one really bad ending in HF. She suffers the least out of all the Fate people.

My runner up for Fate would be Gilgamesh. Sure, he gets EXCALIBUR'ed in one route, SHIROU'ed in another, and devoured by an erotical black hole in the last, but by god, he has fun the entire game. Gilgamesh is that one villain that no matter what happens, he just has fun.

Kara no Kyoukai would be Mikiya. He gets to bang Shiki, and the worst thing that happens is that Shiki's doppelganger wants to rape/kill/eat him. Even if he didn't end up with Shiki, Azaka would've kidnapped him. Good ending.

He did get one of his answers, though, in that he met another person like himself, namely Shirou. He never did get an answer as to the worthiness of a worthless existence, i.e. something that can only feel happiness in doing evil and was simply born that way.

In the end, I don't think Kotomine really cared. He knew that there would never be a real answer to his question. If he didn't keep looking for it, though, then he would've had no justification for his existence. Kotomine says it himself: in the end, he was probably just taking out his frustration on Shirou and the others, a frustration born of living his whole life unable to be who he was without regretting who he was, and never finding the happiness that Shirou and the others had found.

You can't really pity Kotomine, because he had the power to live as he chose to live, unlike Kohaku and others. Kotomine just didn't have a justification for living.

I wish Nasu had made Kotomine a woman, though.

Kotomine also died smiling, which is more than you can say of other tragic characters in Nasu's works, save maybe Lancer. Shirou finally gave him the final confrontation and release from his life that Kiritsugu denied him. Shirou was what Kotomine thought Kiritsugu was, and Shirou somewhat understood and acknowledged Kotomine, whereas Kiritsugu never understood or acknowledged him.

While replaying Tsukihime it sparked some thoughts on the remake.

1) How could they fix the problem with falling in love in 10 days? All of his games have this problem. KnK avoided this by spanning several years, but it uses several character POVs and is episodic.

2) Arc is the cover girl and the original concept revolved around her, but she doesn't have much of a place in Tsukihime's underlying plot and themes. How can this be fixed?

It would also be nice if some of the important stories in KT could be incorporated into the plot. Mainly the story with Roa and Arc and possible Shiki's father being badass.

Also, finished scanning one of the doujinshis. I just need to crop the images now.
