People don't know the definition of Mary Sue anymore and take it to mean that it describes the character that's pretty much has the best qualities compared to the other characters. Arcueid is a True Ancestor and the closest being to the Type-Moon, Crimson Moon. She's also physically attractive, has insane power, and is very intelligent. So because of this retards call her a Mary Sue.

The stories are always about Shirou, regardless of what you think.

He is both a good character and the conflict he creates it's pretty straightforward.
Rin has her own development, but she is not a focus like Saber where Shiro acted like a sidekick or Sakura who was the villain-victim.

She loses no 'spotlight' due to archer.

If you do not like the character, too bad, but do not present your shitty opinions as facts.

It's about liking a fictional charater (or disliking him, in my case).

It should be assumed it was my opinion and not fact, since it's impossible to have a "fact" in this case. There is no best or worst, it's who you like. It's automaticly implied (and should of been assumed) whenever anyone talks about it.

You misunderstand me.

Clearly I care, but it's about different subjects. I care about the poll because I dislike Archer. However, he personally insulted my opinion while I never did the same to him (Well, besides calling Archer a bad character in general, but that's my opinion. Not calling his opinion shitty, nor did I ever say he had a bad grasp of character design or plot direction as he did.)

I think it's funny that he cares so much about my opinion to insult me.

I am not indifferent about the poll, or I wouldn't of posted in the first place. I am indifferent about his insults, because.. It's funny.

Roa was supposed to be a pretty great guy before he tricked Arcueid. All of his reincarnations, on the other hand, are insane on such a scale that rape equates to a common pass-time. This isn't because of the original Roa himself, but because of how his reincarnation system works.

Roa is an emotional monster, like Wallachia. He does things to make people suffer. Rio from KnK is like that, too. Gilgamesh is a lesser example from Fate. They just cause suffering because it amuses them. It's nothing more than a way to pass time. Roa gave up eternity immediately after meeting Arcueid, and keeps going solely for the purpose of being a bastard. Wallachia ostensibly wants to create an eternal solution, but he's too goddamn crazy to care either way. Rio just wants to keep eating and killing. Gilgamesh has everything he could ever want, so he makes up shit so he can scream about MONGRELS and be awesome.

The top three out of all Nasu's works are Nrvnqsr, Kotomine, and Araya Soren. They epitomize "intelligent, impersonal evil." They are monsters because of how they act, but don't necessarily act like monsters just for the sake of causing suffering. Everything they do is evil with a purpose greater than the sum of everyone they hurt. (Well, Kotomine does enjoy the suffering of others, but he has a deeply philosophical reason for everything he does. It's not just because he finds it humorous, though he does find it so.)

Nrvnqsr is chaos embodied, so it's kinda hard to find him at fault no matter what he does. He definitely needs needed ;_; to be stopped, but I'm not sure I'd classify him as 'evil' any more than I'd say a tiger in a densely populated area is evil.

Kotomine is a bit harder to describe. You could say he's evil because he well and truly enjoys the suffering of others, but you could also say he's one of the most Good people you'd ever meet because he recognizes that in himself, and tried for decades to fix it. Even after failing at that, he doesn't go out of his way to cause suffering, instead doing so merely as a means to the (debatably) good goal of allowing something to be born.

From what I understand, it's even worse than that; he wanted to live forever so he could be with Arceuid, but didn't recognize that emotion and mistook his love for obsession and hatred.

Well Roa himself doesn't amuse himself, it's more like his insane hosts do. The real, original Roa was in Akasha observing everything (and also choosing his next hosts?), and when Shiki attacked Roa's soul while it was inside himself, Roa stopped observing; I think he said he got bored, but I don't think he had a choice in the matter regardless.

I didn't say evil, per se. Just "monsters." Monsters need not be evil, they just have to cause acts which are perceived as evil, requiring their own destruction.

>>1957921
Ah, but Kotomine was logically correct. There is no fault with a child being born. You cannot say that something that has not been born is evil, because evil is only something that is recognized consciously and after a sin has been committed. Until the child was born and sinned, it was just a child.

However, if the child was born to destroy to begin with, then the evil is mankind's fault, and not the child's. Therefore, the child is not evil, but a monster created by the evil of others. It still has done no wrong, even if it is conceived of wrongs.

And you cannot consider such a child itself evil until you learn what it thinks of its own actions. Does it consider it wrong that it kills? Does it find regret? Or does it consider it natural? Is it without regret, but rather finding satisfaction in doing what it was created to do?

That is what Kotomine wished to find out. I, too, wondered as he did.

Roa wasn't in Akasha. Something returned to Akasha becomes formless and without intelligence. It's submersed back into the everything. Roa survived indefinitely by transmitting his own soul from host to host, meaning Roa's soul itself was overwriting the hosts'.

When either Shiki points Roa or Nanako impales his host, Roa's soul is ended/shattered and returned to Akasha. Until that happens, he never really dies, but just keeps moving from host to host.

It's the same with Wallachia. Instead of his existence being returned to Akasha, he formulated a path which would allow the particles of his soul to ride in the open without disappearing and converge on a pre-determined site to reincarnate as the terror of an enclosed area. He never really died at all until Shiki finally killed him.

Which makes him a monster that needs to be stopped. Whether or not he was evil is determined by whether he felt regret; I can think it's the right thing to do to kill a thousand people and save nine thousand, but if I don't regret not being able to save all ten thousand, then I'm evil.

Hitler was plagued by ill health and psychological problems which could be attributed to either repressed remorse or insanity.

But that's beside the point:

You can only be considered an "evil" person if you know what the difference between good and evil is. The courts won't sentence someone to jail that doesn't know what right and wrong is. Someone who doesn't distinguish between the two is considered insane.

Someone who considers killing right... someone who considers repression and torture right... not even considering them to be despicable acts... they wouldn't be evil.

Actually, he only did what would win him favour with the German people. If Jews had been popular, he would have widely publicised his Jewish ancestry and would have very publicly converted to Judaism. He went led Germany into war because the greatest number of people were bitter about Germany's surrender in WWI, which was popularly seen as a betrayal by the aristocracy. If most of Germany had been too war weary to care, then he would have promised to maintain a peace of a thousand years. That was his way of operating. He didn't even really care that much for power.

Roa had some connection to Akasha since he was in that library observing the events unfolding, and if all beings automatically become formless upon entering Akasha, then someone needs to give the memo to Ryougi. Besides that, Roa did not have the amazing calculation skills conducive to Zephia and it's explicitly stated that one of the functions of his reincarnation system was to locate new hosts. Assuming we have seen every facet of Roa's system up till now, as we have with Wallachia, then I can see no other way for him to locate hosts unless we put that burden upon the "observing" part of the system that resembled the original Roa that had a pseudo-connection with Akasha. That said, I could be wrong, but why else call him "Serpent of Akasha?" Besides, since it's Roa's soul and not his hosts that's having contact with the Root, it's not like he can display Akashic powers such as the MEoDP or anything like that.

In Tsukihime, "Nanaya" was never something involving pleasure. He was just a pure "kill" impulse. Shiki's initial dissection of Arcueid was due to Roa and Shiki raping Arcueid was because her hypnotizing Mystic Eyes warped Nanaya's "kill" impulse into something different. Shiki did not feel ecstasy while fighting Nrvnqsr, he just felt the need to kill him.

>> No.1958055

Ryougi Shiki was submerged in Akasha but wasn't dead. Her mind touched it, and the result was that part of it died to save the other part. SHIKI gave up "his" life to send Shiki back. And Shiki only made it back because of... circumstances.

The Eyes of Death Perception require an understanding of Akasha that Roa would never reach. Nanaya could do it because of his jougan, which is a psychic power. Ryougi could do it because she brought back something with her from Akasha.

Roa, before dying the first time, made it his best to find out family lineages of all the powerful and rich people of the world. The Tohno family is quite old, so the idea of it being a good future choice is not that hard to figure out. It's also likely that Roa had some way of sensing out the existence of those with latent talent. Elesia was, for him, an unusual choice, and one he had to make in a hurry. He wouldn't be in a hurry unless the death of his current host was fatal to him if he didn't leave fast enough. Considering how fucking awesome of a mage Roa was, it's likely he can pick out anyone he wants to using magic very quickly when combined with previous research on families.

He's called the Serpent of Akasha because... speculation. Serpents are the beasts of immortality. Akasha is itself eternal.

Wallachia didn't have a governance system in place after he became the phenomenon, as far as I can tell. He quite literally predicted every place of reincarnation before he became the phenomenon. A 1000 year journey, all completed and planned before his death, and put into motion in the span of his death. A mere moment.

Not the other guy, but yeah, Wallachia did have a governance system in place. He had calculated all of the places he wanted to appear at, but he didn't have a way to continue existing like Roa somehow did, so he went to Altrouge who helped him develop his Reality Marble. His Reality Marble is what allows him to bypass Akasha entirely, and it's internalized like with Nrvnqsr, so the world mostly ignores it.
