So, does that mean that Kanako is Hitler's reincarnation?

What is it with you people and Hitler? No, no it doesn't mean she's Hitler's reincarnation. She's more Colonial Britain than Nazi Germany.

Quote from: PrismYoshi
Well, regardless of your view on Sanae's enthusiasm for Youkai hunting, it's a little blasphemous for her to be calling herself a living god.

Eh, she has the power to grant miracles, it's close enough to being a god. Godhood by proxy is still godhood.

And on-topic:

Tewi is a layabout and a freeloader of the worst kind, using her influence to manipulate everyone around her without having to lift a finger.

Long story short (at least for me): Found out about KH-FF involving Organisation XIII being turned into SS-members, then read a MSTing about this Dragon Ball/Anne Frank-crossover with "that person" being a Super Saiyajin.

Compared to that, the regular touhou games make perfect sense. And are easy.


Oh, and since Sanae is
Spoiler:
Suwako's descendent
, she is pretty much a demigod. Works for me.

Sanae probably just calls herself a god because taking the time to explain what a demigod is would probably take too long.

Or maybe she means it in the same sense as "Hendrix is god."

Yes, yes she does~

But I do think she's justified in refering to herself as a god, seeing her ancestry, powers and all that.

In addition, as keepers of secrets, they began to accrue faith and be treated as gods, even though they were humans. They became living gods.
Touhou Wiki / Sanae's official character description in MoF
 
If she's treated like one, why shouldn't she call herself a god? It's basically a kind of title for her.

Though, continuing with her description it's strange that she would still call herself a god in UFO:
Quote
She realized she had gone from being a god incarnate to just a normal human being.

Also of note: danmaku does spiritual damage only, which can be restored. So youkai hunting, already confined to "prettiest spellcard wins", is probably less harmful than arm wrestling.

Reimu challenges youkai to pretty picture contests, and is constantly saving Gensokyo. What a bitch.

I do think that Gensokyo+ was established by ZUN in PoFV. He says it was Gensokyo+ before that, but maybe he didn't make the previous games with that in mind.

Yuka specifically says that genocide is just a game, whether against humans or youkai.

How is that open to interpretation?

Well, she considers herself so superior that everyone else's life is utterly unimportant. Both the PoFV dialog and PMiSS portray Yuka a lot more positively: While she is able to utterly obliterate you and doesn't have restraints to do so, she won't unless you piss her off.

Basically, PC-98 and Windows Yuka seem quite different...

You're taking it out of context.  Yuka was pretty pissed off at that point.  And besides, come PoFV she'd mellowed out quite a bit, so...

Not quite. In PC-98, she is very obviously nasty, probably the closest to outright evil Gensokyo would ever have. She basically attacked Orange just for being a youkai. And Orange was being perfectly friendly... And that was before the spellcard rules as well, in addition to the scripts referring to her as being "sealed' which isn't that much different from killing her if she's never let go... Possibly crueler even.

Also, the games certainly make it sound like getting hit by danmaku is NOT fun. So Reimu still is still hurting them, even if they don't die... And in the case of some of the weaker bosses, it's sometimes unclear just what happened to them after the duel was won, so...

Perfect Memento states that fairies can't die, they simply heal again immediately even if they take damage that blows them into pieces.

4koma idea. Reference to that one comic where Cirno iciclecides.

[Dead Cirno on ground with picture beside her]
[Cirno spontaneously reconfigures]

Forget all your petty crimes. Let's talk about Kaguya's crimes.

- Drank a potion for no good reason, clearly knowing it was forbidden
- Denied several men the right to marry her, and sent many of them to supposed suicide
- Made her "true love" die lonely
- Caused a young and awesome girl to seek revenge, which led her to the curse of immortality
- Killed said awesome girl on a DAILY basis
- Replaced the freaking MOON
- Cut off the path between Gensokyo and the Moon
- Attacked the heroines for stopping time flow of the night, which was done to stop the incident
- Sent off the heroines to go kill awesome girl
- NEET

So yeah, Kaguya's the worst Touhou of all.

Oh look, I got an image in my signature. Finally.
