OVA
Description
Satsuki Yumizuka, nicknamed "Sacchin," attends Misaki Municipal High School alongside Shiki Tohno. Her unrequited affection for Shiki traces back to middle school, when he freed her and her sports clubmates from a locked room during winter. Using his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Shiki cut the lock's lines to release them—an act that profoundly impacted Satsuki, though Shiki scarcely recalled it. She later thanked Shiki and secured his casual promise to aid her again if she faced trouble.
Within the *Tsukihime* visual novel, Satsuki's role and fate diverge across story routes. While investigating rumors about Shiki, she crosses paths with SHIKI, who bites and transforms her into a vampire—a rare outcome where victims typically die or become zombies. In Arcueid's route, she vanishes after the incident, presumed dead. Ciel's route implies a similar fate. In Akiha's route, transformed and sustaining herself by killing several people, she confronts Shiki in a park. She confesses her long-held love, revealing years of secretly observing him due to her attraction to his murderous impulses. Rejected by Shiki, she attempts to turn him by biting his neck, but the bite fails. Recalling his promise to help her and finding no other salvation possible, Shiki kills her with his Mystic Eyes as she dissolves into ashes. Hisui and Kohaku's routes follow a similar pattern: Satsuki admits to the murders, attacks Shiki after rejection, and is killed by him.
The *Tsukihime* manga adaptation, following Arcueid's route, shows Satsuki surviving an encounter with Nrvnqsr Chaos because a coincidental cold kept her from the targeted location. In the fan disc *Kagetsu Tohya*, she appears in a comedic tag game segment, paralyzed by SHIKI's vampiric influence. She also manifests as a ghost in the "Drinking, Dreaming Moon" scenario, silently observing Shiki converse with SHIKI's spirit, unnoticed by Shiki.
The *Melty Blood* fighting game presents an alternate fate, depicting Satsuki surviving her transformation without being killed by Shiki. She forms the "Back Alley Alliance" with fellow vampire Sion Eltnam Atlasia and later teams up with Riesbyfe Stridberg. Together, they confront antagonists like Dust of Osiris while navigating their existence as tragic vampires.
In *Carnival Phantasm*, Satsuki's appearances are brief and comedic, highlighting her lack of a dedicated storyline in the original *Tsukihime*. She is frequently mocked or tormented, particularly by Neco-Arc, referencing her underdeveloped role.
