Melty Blood: Type Lumina Gets With New Gameplay Trailer Showing Ciel Versus Shiki

Type-moon released a brand new trailer of its upcoming fighting game Melty Blood: Type Lumina, which will soon launch both in Japan and in the west.

The trailer focuses on showing a match between Ciel and Shiki, with the former using the latter as a punching ball for the occasion.

You can check it out below.

Here’s how the developers describe Ciel.

“The Holy Church, a major religion in Europe, does not take kindly to heresy.
Ciel works as an executor for its specialized force known as the Burial Agency.
Her calling? Hunting and destroying heretics in the name of the Lord.

Like Arcueid, she wishes to destroy her mortal enemy and has come to Souya in search of him, deciding to blend in by posing as a regular student at the same high school as Shiki.

She currently attends school as a senior, one year above Shiki, and is quite popular with many of the students there.
They see her as both warm and cheerful.

Her go-to lunch from the school shop is curry bread, and her favorite restaurant serves the best curry in town.”

…And Shiki.

“The eldest son of the historical Tohno family, he was raised for some time by the Arima branch family.
However, he was called back to Souya to live in the Tohno estate shortly after his father passed away.
A childhood injury left him with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, giving him the ability to see the death of all things in the form of lines and points.

He wears special glasses which prevent his eyes from seeing these things all the time.
He may be an ordinary student, but his ability to visualize death has altered his very perception of it.
The aftereffects of his accident, combined with the toll his eyes take, has left him with chronic anemia.
During battle, he removes his glasses to use his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.”
