Neco-Arc/Remake

Neco-Arc

Tsukihime (2000)

Tsukihime (2021)

Neco-Arc (ネコアルク, Neko-Aruku^?) is a Neco Spirit appearing in the Tsukihime Remake series. She is a pint-size cat girl parody of Arcueid Brunestud.

Profile[]

Background[]

No longer the ancient relic known as Neco-Arc, that model was so last decade. She has been awoken to the new power known as "Re:make". You may address her as Lumi-Arc, the Shining Cat.^[2]

Appearance[]

Personality[]

Compared to the original Neco-Arc, her morals have been updated from the Jurassic period to the Permian.^[2]

Role[]

Tsukihime[]

Neco-Arc accompanies Ciel-sensei during the "Teach Me, Ciel-sensei!" segments after the player reaches a bad end.

Melty Blood[]

Neco-Arc accompanies Miyako in the story of the boss rush mode. She creates a what-if scenario where Miyako is the protagonist of Tsukihime, the "Miyako Route".

Abilities[]

The old Neco-Arc having a 0:10 battle ratio compared to other characters was just too unorthodox. Now, her specs have been updated to have a 5:5 ratio when up against the same character (in other words, nothing has changed). Also, her catchphrase when firing her eye beams has been updated to reflect modern naming conventions.^[2]

Development[]

Comment from illustrator[]

Takashi Takeuchi states that Neco-Arc's design changed a lot to match the changes in Arc, but it’s bratty childhood friend attitude really makes you feel like it has been like that.^[1]
