That is because Ouji didn't keep them "stealth". It is perhaps impossible to use them offensively if they are like this (their appearance and structure change radically when they are attacking).

So basically, we're talking about parallel universes. Tsukihime, Fate/stay night and KnK are set in parallel universes with only minor characters able to cross over and interact? Ao can cross over but Touko can't?

I don't think "remake" is a suitable description either.
Like I said before, KnK seems more of a precursor to the world that is Tsukihime and FSN. You have elements of KnK in both Tsukihime and FSN, of which are directly related. From what I know, Tsukihime and FSN practically belong in the same universe, though I cannot be quoted on that. Nanaya Shiki from Tsukihime is practically comparable to Mikiya in terms of looks, and also hails from a particular special bloodline of some renown similar to Ryougi Shiki—not to mention, that both possess comparable and yet contrasting main powers: Eyes of Death Perception. KnK also features the idea of the Magi, whose machinations play a more prominent role in FSN. Last but not least, Tsukihime and KnK feature Aoko and Touko Aozaki, who despite being featured in two separate universes are—by Nasuverse canon—sisters. And oh, you also have to take into account the existence of Melty Blood, which is another alternate path springing from Tsukihime. The whole interrelatedness of these universes reminds me of Kajishima's Tenchi Muyo. There's a quite a number of Tenchi series and spin offs at present, with a few of them having no direct relation with the others at all. Different continuities and all that. The only thing that binds them is that Kajishima differentiates what the main canon is. Nasu on the other hand, doesn't seem to place such importance in such a hierarchy. That is, I haven't heard of him making such a claim of that sort. |

This movie was a bundle of cuteness. Mostly Azaka, but also Shiki--happily getting ready to feed the fish only to pout upon spotting the "Don't feed the fish" sign. ...so I was really surprised when Azaka lost in the Saimoe 2nd Preliminaries yesterday. I mean, I would have campaigned in this thread for sure, whether or not that would have done any good, but I really thought she'd at least have that much in the bag.

I'd say the vampire aspect was very closely related to the serial killer and mage aspect, rather than being something new. Most of the vampires were simply ancient mages a la Araya, and had similar motivations. The vampirism manifested primarily as brutal "tear them apart and eat their flesh and blood" themes and urges, which frankly isn't any different from the supernatural serial killer stuff in KnK. I wouldn't consider the distinction meaningful enough to say it was an entirely new theme. I would say that Arc's character was fairly distinct from anything in KnK though.
The porn I like to consider something that was simply thought to be mandatory for the genre. |

I agree though, the vampire aspect just seems like a way to make the bloodier aspects of KnK even more supernatural. |
