❖CHARACTER NOTES: SHIKI RYOUGI
Wow this will be hideous.
miscellaneous• She's a really good cook when it comes to Japanese food.
• Judging from the 5th movie, I'd say she somehow knows how to at least drive a motorcycle.
• Doesn't like being addressed in any way other than Shiki. No last name, no honorifics, nothing.
• In the middle of attending some kind of remedial classes for high school I think...
• She calls Mikiya both Mikiya and Kokutou. I'd say she tends to use Mikiya more when she's in a relatively good mood... which obviously isn't often.
• She doesn't like anyone touching her blades HAHAHA.
• She collects knives and is even willing to steal them WHAT A GAL.
• I just need a place for this.
quotes
Shiki"A person who didn't end his life like a human isn't human anymore. A person removed from the boundary line is deprived of all his meaning. Common sense can't deal with things like that corpse, or like you."
- Remaining Sense of Pain
"You're a beast that learned the taste of blood. You're enjoying murder."
- Remaining Sense of Pain
"I think I wander around in a peopleless town because I want to be alone. Or do I do it because I want to believe that I'm alone?"
- Murder Study (Part I)
Others"But a wish returns to its owner. It consumes the host when the host recalls it. Your oblivion is of that nature."
- Satsuki Kurogiri, Oblivion Recorder
"She chose death and you chose life in the face of death. She enjoyed murder, annihilating life, while you respectfully performed killing."
- Souren Araya, Paradox Spiral
"Shiki must mean the mental part. Her murder is murder for up to five people. A murder other than those is not murder, but a massacre. It is not justified. That is what Shiki was angry about. ... Shiki has a taste for murder but she still understands unconsciously how important death is. That is why she does not kill indiscriminately like Asagami Fujino. Shiki cannot forgive Fujino for just doing as she wishes."
- Touko Aozaki, Remaining Sense of Pain
Kinoko Nasu on what Shiki says to Mikiya at the end of Remaining Sense of Pain.
name
両儀 (りょうぎ ryougi)
"two equal sides of opposites"
式 (しき shiki)
"method" or "equation"
And given how Araya says Shiki is more or less yin & yang or Taijin IDK WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, I'd say that her name is basically saying she is the method of reaching the Taijin. :|b
important
• I'm not even sure how to word this but it's like... Fujino finds pleasure in killing others, taking their lives. Shiki, on the other hand, finds pleasure at the thrill of being close to losing her own life.
