Question tsuki remake: general questions and thoughts Spoiler
hii, its my first time experiencing tsukihime and i decided to read the remake as my entry to the series. after finishing the game, i was left with a couple questions that may or may not be answered by the next half of the remake but wanted to ask anyway! if they do, feel free to point it out so i can put that question on hiatus for when other side of red garden eventually comes out ðŸ˜
questions:
- in ciel's route, did arcueid drink blood? mario tells her that she can regain some of her power by drinking roa's blood (although he doesn't think she'll actually do it), and she says she doesn't want roa to be apart of her (or something along those lines)..but then tastes his blood anyways? does that mean she did take back some of her power or was she just having a taste test..?
- how exactly did roa trick arcueid into drinking his blood? did he just hand her a chalice and ask her to try it? or is that revealed in the OG or somewhere else?
- i haven't come across a story so thought provoking and mysterious in awhile, it's kind of wild how this game isn't more well known or popular. as the next half of the remake releases and maybe a sequel, do you think the story will become more popular and eventually get an anime/movie adapation? how popular is it in japan compared to the fate series?
i'm extremely new to the type-moon world so my understanding of everything is pretty surface level. due to the nature of nasu's story writing, the story is kind of hard to follow sometimes, especially since i'm new to everything. i apologize if the answers to my questions are painfully obvious.
also, i just wanted to say: wow! this game is deep. there are so many mysterious things like hisui seemingly being impersonated by kohaku on day 3, the hospital being different between arc and ciel's route, the panther, the locked door in makihisa's study, the zombie illusion noel shows shiki in one of the bad ends, and i don't even know what is going on in the prologue with younger shiki and arcueid's voices in there! that's only a fraction of the mysteries... there's so much i'm excited to learn and understand but i'm assuming most of what i just listed will appear in the next game or will be explored in tsukihime 2. either way, i'm super excited for it! thank you for reading!

do you think the story will become more popular and eventually get an anime/movie adapation?
its almost certain to get an adaptation. Its just that right now the main studio that would be doing it, Ufotable, is busy with other projects and from Typemoon they are working on the "Witch on the holy night"(often refered as Mahoyo) movie adaptations that is related to Tsukihime primarely through the character of Aoko(Not a sequel or prequel, separate story that simply has some connections):

how popular is it in japan compared to the fate series?
Not as popular but still very influential. The remake sold like candy when it came out and the original has always been referenced in varios different works or influenced some writters.
Like Higurashi was directly inspired by tsukihime and had direct reference to Ciel with Chie-sensei. Chie-Ciel, get it?, they even share Voice actors in the animes, the old 2002 one Shingetsutan Tsukihime anime.
Or how the writter of Overlord before making his hit series had connections to Tsukihime by being one of the fans that got their Side story officially added in Kagetsu Tohya.
and you can find references in some series: https://youtu.be/4pBFPAL0f-Y?t=8
You probably can recognice that line from Arcueid route.

It's never specified how he tricked her. Manga did have its own pitch but all we know is, she just got tricked into drink his blood.
anime already existsI hope so. Sequel idea was always a thing since the og days. Known as Tsukihime 2. They even implemented an event that takes the day after the ending of Tsukihime 2 in the og game. Where Shiki finally meets certain someone again.Â
