TYPE-MOON Wiki

The MoonWP (月, Tsuki?) is a central motif in a number of TYPE-MOON works. It is most prevalent in the works involving Vampires, such as Tsukihime and Melty Blood. It is not a planet, but it is still a celestial body that had an Ultimate One known as Type Moon.

Origin[]

Crimson Moon Brunestud

Crimson Moon.

According to radiometric datingWP, the moon formed approximately 4.5 billion years before the Age of Man. It previously was home to a lunar civilization led by Crimson Moon, but it fell into ruin. He eventually decided to abandon the moon and turned to Earth to make into his new kingdom. During his battle with Zelretch, Crimson Moon created a mirror image of the Moon and dropped it towards the planet. The event, known as the Moon Fall (月落とし, Tsuki Otoshi?), was stopped by Zelretch's magic.[1] The event is known in the current era, as mentioned by Rin Tohsaka.[2]

Effects on Vampires[]

When Crimson Moon answered the call of Gaia over four thousand years ago in order to protect the planet against human corruption, he created vampiric creatures in order to fulfill the pact: the True Ancestors. The True Ancestors were made in his image and were created as a natural protective system for the Earth.[3]

Since True Ancestors are related to the moon in this way, the cycle of the moon over the Earth affects their power. They are at their peak during the full moon and are weakest during the new moon. The same applies to their fallen kin (Demon Lords) and servants (Dead Apostles).[4]

A prime example example of this is when Roa (Remake), who already has supreme regeneration powers thanks to his possessing the body of SHIKI Tohno (Remake), is able to regenerate himself from grievous wounds dealt to him thanks to the full moon. He states that if the moon were waning even the slightest bit, such extensive regeneration would have been impossible.[5][6]

It is unknown if those who became vampires using magecraft, like Nrvnqsr Chaos, are affected by the lunar cycles.

Deification[]

Moon Cell[]

Main article: Moon Cell
Digital Moon

Digital ocean of SE.RA.PH. on the lunar surface.

Within the world of Fate/EX, the moon holds the Moon Cell Automaton (ムーンセル・オートマトン, Mūnseru Ōtomaton?), an enormous supercomputer-like construct created by an unknown alien civilization 4.6 billion years ago, million of years before the existence of the Earth or the Moon, making it the oldest entity in the Solar System.[9]

The Moon Cell is large structure of 3000 km in diameter composed of photonic crystalWPs, with its core being a large photonic crystal making up the interior of the moon.[10] It could be said that the entire moon itself is made of a giant photonic crystal. The photonic crystals capture and manipulate light in nano-structures, and it's untold tens of millions of lights years of light trapped within the core that gives the Moon Cell its quantum computational power.[10][9] With it, the Moon Cell has observed and recorded life on Earth since its inception, storing not only data about the past, the present, and the future, but also parallel worlds.

The Moon Cell is divided between the two sides of the moon, the Near Side and the Far Side. On the Near Side is the Serial Phantasm, abbreviated SE.RA.PH, an artificial environment of landscapes created using independent Reality Marbles. On the Far Side of the Moon is a sealed off imaginary space used for storing malicious information and imaginary numbers. It also contains the Zero Dark, the area where Velber 02, an alien invader, was imprisoned after it tried to attack the Moon Cell and destroy Earth's civilization 14,000 years ago.

As a neutral observation device, the Moon Cell has no conscious mind or artificial intelligence. It created many terminals and artificial intelligences for itself to manage functions for each of its sections. Following the attack of Velber 02, the Moon Cell calculated that the great harvester, the Umbral Star, would return to the Milky Way galaxy, and so created the Regalia system, the Royal Authority of the Moon, as a way to combat the Umbral Star by conferring the Royal Authority to freely use the functions of the Moon Cell to its owner, sort of like administrator privileges. When the Umbral Star arrives, the Moon Cell enters a state of hibernation, completely shutting out all invaders. It subsequently leaves the security of its inner areas to an Al or Servants it trusts, with the Regalia marking this.

Moon Cell frontier

The new frontier in Fate/Extra Last Encore.

The Moon Cell was discovered by humanity in 1973,[11] sparking interest despite exploration of the object being forbidden by the Harway and the Western European Plutocracy.[12] Afterwards, the Moon Cell would establish the Moon Holy Grail War, seemingly to better observe humans but in actuality to find a worthy user of the Regalia. Depending on the timelines, the victor change the Moon Cell's mode of operation from being primarily observation to being primarily an environment provider. Using SE.RA.PH to create new lands and a new frontier for mankind to escape the ruined Earth of Fate/EX and thrive in a virtual world, alongside Servants, NPCs, and AIs.[13][14] After a point, SE.RA.PH started being accessed not only by people from Earth, but also from other planets.[13]

Tsuki no Sango[]

TnS'sMoon01

The Moon in Tsuki no Sango.

The Moon is the main focus of Tsuki no Sango, a world where the events of Tsukihime did not occur. It is about a time when the humans reached a crisis and the moon was a world of death for humanity, but humans still tried an immigration plan to deal with humanity's overpopulation crisis, The Lunar Immigration Plan. Since then, the moon became a new frontier, and its immigrants created a city, a nation upon the lunar surface.

But then a great disaster struck: humanity lost its "heart's fire". The desire for growing, expanding or excitement for invention. With this, the Moon's humans decided to abandon the Earth's humans. After 50 years of that tragedy, the Earth and Moon sealed their doors to each other, becoming entirely independent of each other.

Apparently, some decades later the light of the Moon disappeared and at the same time, humanity’s population on Earth also dramatically declined. The motive was simple: no one felt like propagating the species anymore. After these fifty years, humanity was to be extinct, if not for a group that still "keep trying".

Most of the Moon is covered by a sheet of ice. It's a blue ceiling that apparently protects the seven lunar cities on surface.

The Seven Lunar Cities[]

They are the cities were built on the Moon's surface. Covering the part that could be seen from Earth. The living beings of the cities are apparently dead. Actually, the seven cities were a huge grave.

  • First Lunar City:
  • Second Lunar City:
  • Third Lunar City:
  • Fourth Lunar City:
  • Fifth Lunar City: Matori, has a nuclear core that provides hydrogen to the seven cities.
  • Sixth Lunar City:
  • Seventh Lunar City:

The Other Side of the Moon[]

On the other side, the one that could not be seen from the Earth, has a gray forest. Trees made of limestone, a layer of ice covering the sky and within the center, a nuclear reactor providing the necessary molecules for hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.

Being the core of reactor, was the "Girl of the Moon". Her hands and feet were fused into the ground, her arms and legs discolored black; looking like a pillar extending from the ground wearing a dress. According to records, she was a silicon based body with the function to manage the planet with more efficiency, as it represents the Moon's soul, or more correctly, brain. While this "machine" was connected with the core and the moon, she was virtually immortal (cause she was operating on a different time scale from humans).

However, even if "it" was a representation of "life", if she abandon her position as machine, the Moon would return to its natural form. In the end, she will receive only the death through the time with that choice.[15]

    Q: You must tell us the details of the battle between the Crimson Moon and Zelretch at his prime!!

    A: You are asking me to divulge such delicious details from my stash of ideas? Mmmm... I have shown some similar scenes in Mahoyo, they would carry a similar vibe. It would be something like, the Crimson Moon dropping a mirror image of the Moon (HERE IT COMES!) versus Zelretch doing something only he was able to do: a virtually limitless Ether Cannon unleashed through a special magic circle ("Magic Square"). If we had five times the budget of Mahoyo, then we may be able to realize such a scene.

    Vampire [Term]
    A general term for those that suck human blood. Refers specifically to the Dead Apostles, or those that have become bloodsuckers because of them.
    The vampires in Tsukihime extract human blood to maintain their own flesh. If, during this process, the vampire injects their own blood into their human prey, that human will be unable to peacefully pass away. For a normal person, death will still find them before long regardless. However, on rare occasions, if the victim has high physical potential and the capacity of their soul is excellent, they will remain in the world of the living.
    Afterward, their corpse is interred, and left alone for several years. During this time their brain melts, their soul is liberated from the cage of the body, and finally they arise as a kind of living dead called a "ghoul".
    As a ghoul, they feed on the corpses sleeping in the graves around them to supplement their own missing flesh, restoring their physical body little by little. After many years of this, they will eventually regain their brain and intelligence. At this stage, they can finally be called a "vampire".
    However, although this new vampire can move by their own will, they cannot escape from the rule of their sire's blood. Finally, after spending decades acclimating to life in the darkness, the vampire will begin attacking humans to create servants of their very own, while remaining subservient to the vampire that made them.
    In order to obstruct this infinite cycle, the Church created the Burial Agency, Inquisitors that exist to slay Dead Apostles. The Burial Agency's goal is the utter eradication of all vampires, and the sealing of the 27 Ancestors that made them.

    Moon Cell's Discovery [Incident]
    Moon Cell was discovered in 1973.
    After the magus of the old world were cut off from their mana, a wizard employed by the United Nations managed to infiltrate Moon Cell, and Moon Cell’s existence was revealed to all.
    The following are the words from a hacker who returned alive from Moon Cell’s first layer.

    “That thing on the Moon is a computational device that could never be produced by present-day mankind.
    There is no physical way to infiltrate it. Even if you were to fly up to the Moon on a rocket, it would be impossible to access the device.
    The thing on the Moon is simply too different from us humans, a civilization that relies on physical matters. It is something impossible to analyze or understand using existing human technology and language system.
    However, through a spirit-like information body, even if the format of information is different, understanding its “meaning” is still possible.”

    After that, this astounding supercomputer came to be considered as the product of an otherworldly civilization, and the West Europe Plutocracy started to monitor it.

    「アレは現在の人類には到達できない演算装置だ。
    物理的な侵入方法は存在しない。月にロケットを飛ばしたところで、アクセスする事は不可能だろう。
    物質に頼る我々人類の文明とは形式が違いすぎるため、人間の言語大系、技術では理解できない。
    しかし霊子的な情報体ならば、情報形態が異なっていようとも“意味”を分けあえる可能性がある」

    以後、この驚異的なスパコンは異星文明の遺産とされ、西欧財閥によって監視される事になった。

    CCC Caster End [Spoilers]
    Tamamo Nine! There’s even something like this in the game.
    This is the name from early in the development of CCC when there were still 5 Alter Egos called the Sakura Five…
    A little additional explanation about what happened to SE.RA.PH in the Cas-ko end is in order.
    After Moon Cell Nucleus was destroyed by Caster, SE.RA.PH immediately self-reset and changed its mode of operation from being primarily observation to being primarily an environment provider.
    The sealed second sky was opened to the public; a new frontier for mankind.
    In short, SE.RA.PH became an open world. After that SE.RA.PH started being accessed not only by people from Earth, but also from other planets, and then the fabricated spiritron world came to be well developed. And everyone lived happily ever after.
    Well, just leave it to Caster’s misbehavior to ruin it all.
    The Saber end isn’t quite as open ended as Caster’s, but finishes in a similar situation.
