It’s so cute and simultaneously tragic how happy chizuru is to have such a mundane injury on her hand, since it makes her feel human. She, and all the other Shiki, really, deserved better.
@@martmandred9182 There were also a couple who refused to drink human blood, that shows they can fight their new nature but the sad thing is that they are still the people they were. The option for a middle ground was never explored both sides just dove head first into the extreme thus the question at the end who was really the monster in all this? The death of the shiki Megumi comes to mind as she actually cried in terror before she was brutally killed begging to live having only wanted to leave the small town and see the big city before she dies. That's abit too human in the end to be written off as just a monster.
@@taliawtf6944 One of the characters in the LN pointed out to Sunako that she never even tried a peaceful option, just moved in and immediately started attacking.
Been there. It would be like Elfen Lied, Parasyte, Claymore, & Tokyo Ghoul. Both Hunans & Monsters living in peace & harmony. Helping each other out to survive. Working together to inspire the world. I’m actually writing a fanfic season 2, where something like that would happen at the end.
@@XTheCrystalBeastGuyX Hah, Shiki is really inferior and could not put your favorite species which is the humanity into its place but Ajin and Diclonius does really puts humanity back on that good old food chain, which must be much to your chagrin
To be honest.. I really feel sorry for her. She didn't deserve to die like that. She didn't asked to be transforme into a shiki. Even if she wanted to transform everybody... she was pure. I felt so sorry for her when she died. For all shiki.
If it helps to those who love & feel sorry for Chizuru. In this rewritten/crossover with Soul Calibur. After she was exposed to the public. Masao, who becomes Nightmare. After unleashing himself to the Village, when Seishirou & the liquor store owner’s son, failed to save Chizuru. He was about to kill crazy old man who just saw that his son is alive. But gets distracted by Chizuru, who he kidnaps, before they had the balls to kill her. The crossover is called Shiki:A New Nightnare. It alters a lot of things from the plot. Such as Natsuno & Megumi becoming an actual non canon couple. & a cure that turns Vampires back into Humans, so they don’t had to be killed.
I liked this anime as it left you with the same question at the end of the story as a good Romero zombie movie, who really was the monster? I love that sorta thing.
You probably wouldn't be the singing the same tune if it had happened to you or seen it first hand. It's easy to criticize and villainize characters in fiction because they're not real. At the end of the day, killing one zombie/vamp wouldn't have changed anything, you either go all the way or don't even bother and just wait for your turn to die (not all the victims in shiki are lucky enough to revive as one).
@@Wheres_my_Dragonator I see you are the shallow thinking sort... Vampires (these any way) are not just mindless beings, they can think in abstract terms even suppress urges just like they could as humans. Now this begs the question at what point is a person no longer a person? Is it a beating heart that makes you or I a person? Is it a high enough I.Q. ? Or is it beholding to a certain religion or ideology? What makes a human animal a person? The things that one thinks of when it comes to humans that make us more than just a mindless beast are true for the vampires in this story. Hell you even have differing ideals among the same group of the vampires, they also still have emotions and dreams of things they wanted to do or still want to do. Blood drinking and special traits aside they are human at their core and you can't point to them killing people as proof they are monsters because I can throw entire libraries of history books at you of humans doing just that. Now put this next to the progression of the story, at first when the humans start fighting them they are very disturbed that the vamps are people they knew or cared for but slowly they begin to kill them with not a single pang of concern for who they were or still are. Eventually you see not all of them embraced the hunger and are quite peaceful even going so far as to refuse to drink blood. When found the humans kill them too no matter how the vampires protested or beg not an ounce of though or mercy was shown, mirroring exactly how some of the vampires acted at the start of the story. One scene really high lights this flip so well, it's the scene where they have killed a good chunk of the vampires and a group is resting while burning the bodies one woman brings the group tea and snacks they are all covered in blood laughing like it's a normal evening. The woman looks over and sees someone in the pile of dead vamps she knew and reacts not to that but her getting blood on her apron. It's at this point you see the humans are just as monstrous as the vampires were before. That's the same sort of realization you get at the end of night of the living dead where the protag survives the night only to be killed by the living and his corpse along with the zombies are treat not with the respect of a dead human but as a thing to abuse for entertainment. The twist is nearly the same where you see humanity turn into inhumanity leaving looking at the end results thinking at the end of it all who is a monster when they are all monsters?
Both can be saints or monsters, but at the end, shikis are kinda parasitic in that they can't live without humans to prey on but humans will do just fine without shikis.
@@taliawtf6944imagine defending those monsters who kill their neighbors because she feels unfair that they are safe (Nao), killing her friends and family because of jealousy (Megumin), killing his children, mind-control, brain-washing, kidnapping. Yeah no way in hell I'm supporting those.

yeah sure and eat all the humans then they all lived happily ever after right?
@@fayerequiem1249 I mean, it’s not like they had a choice. They never asked to be Shiki.
@@maddie4834 Regardless, only killing them is only way to stop.

I need more Shiki in my life
and I want Yuuki to be a devils slayer
yea
Can you imagine an alternate universe where the Shikis and the humans of Sotoba manage to live in peace and harmony? Yeah, me too.

0:17 Chizuru couldn't but deny that small detail was something special moment she long has forgotten when she was alive.
I love this fucking show.
1:13 the last time I laughed at this anime
Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe, but each Shiki's death does put a smile on my face.
@@XTheCrystalBeastGuyX Balancing involves pulling the kine back down the food chain.

Same
it had to be done for the human's survival tho...but her death was tragic nonetheless :(
She was a threat and would've faced an execution along with every other Kirishiki. That or eternity in prison.
@proteamize. How do human characters not notice their obviously inhuman eyes?
@proteamize. Yeah,i guess so.
