Opposed to Tsukihime’s Shiki who is outgoing and thoughtful, Kara no Kyokai’s Ryogi Shiki is cold and tends to keep to herself. The Ryogi family attempted to create Human beings that exceeded normal Humans, and to accomplish this, they trained their children in various martial arts and fencing, and also made them split their personalities. They believed that by using this method, one personality could be an expert in one subject while the other could be master other subjects. Shiki was no exception to this, and she had a masculine and feminine side that switched places with each other (ref: Moonlit World). A car accident causes Shiki to fall into a deep coma, and when she awoke from it, she had gained the “Eyes of Death Perception” ability, although she believed that her masculine personality side had died during the accident. For those unfamiliar with the Type-Moon world, users of the Eyes of Death Perception are able to see the “lines of deaths” on every object that has a concept of death. By cutting these lines, the user is able to perform extrodinary feats such as breaking down a stone wall with a mere knife. When used on a living creature, the user is able to sever nerves and limbs easily by cutting the lines of his target. More experienced and skilled users such as Nanaya can also see the “dot” of death on their target, and by piercing this dot, the user can permanently erase something’s actual existance.

Whereas Nanaya/Tohno Shiki needs to “comprehend” and understand the target before he can see the actual dot of death and pierce it (ie: during his fight with Nrvnqsr Chaos, Shiki couldn’t see Nero’s dot of death until Nero stupidly explains his 666 beasts ability to Arcueid which Shiki overhears), Ryogi in her 3rd personality needs no such information to accomplish her goals. The main difference between Tsukihime Shiki and KnK Shiki’s however, is that Nanaya/Tohno seems to kill “existance”, while Ryogi more or less kills the origin of her target. It is believed that because of this, Ryogi has a fairly harder time when she needs to cut inanimate objects. It’s also interesting to note that Ryogi Shiki does not in fact possess the ability to see the dots of death. Once one gains the Eyes of Death, the lines and dots of death are forever seen by the user, and the only way for them to turn their ability “off” is via death or by wearing glasses imbued with the Mystic Eye Sealing Mahou

Er, Shiki doesn't see dots at all until his fight with Nero. He only sees the dots after he "dies" himself, again. He stops thinking like a person and starts thinking like a killer, which is why he begins to see dots on things.
