Lunar Legend Tsukihime - confusing ending [spoilers]

[nickcreech]

I just finished watching Tsukihime yesterday, and I have a lot of questions about the ending:

1. What in the hell happened to Arcueid? - she dies then comes back, then what?

2. Why does Ciel try to say that SHE really killed Roa?

3. Why does Akiha's hair turn red? What is her purpose in the story? And what did Hisui mean by "Akiha is almost at her limit"? Has Akiha always been a vampire?

4. Does Lunar Legend Tsukihime have anything to do with Lunar, the video game(s)?

After I watched Tsukihime I just hung my head down in a depressed manor. The ending really reminded me of the ending for This Ugly Yet Beautiful World and somewhat like Kannazuki no Miko.

4. No it does not.

3. Aikha's bloodline has supernatural powers too... She is not a vampire thou.

2. Not sure but I think She has killed Roa before... but the guy is immortal and just repops up somewhere else again.

1. She died and came back when Roa died and is away now sleeping "forever".

The anime followed the True path for Arc...

For more information about Akiha, you might want to try the Tsukihime manga, published in English by DRMaster. It fleshes out a bit more on some of the other characters, including Akiha. Also, MoonLit World has a good amount of information about the game itself and the different paths (obviously it spoils everything). I believe the game itself is out of print though.

Actually, it's more that she WAS Roa before, rather than her having killed him. The anomaly of Roas existence root cause of Ciels inability to die.

Thats right... arc whacked her the last time then she ended up being "tested" by the church.

Sadly it's as I've been searching for it for what seems like forever. Moonlit World is a great source if you want to know more about the Tsukihime game. Tsukihime's ending was the games "True Ending".
