So: depending on what kanji you use (and the context), "ya" can either mean the number eight, or night. Rinnosuke even makes a big deal out of this in one of the chapters of CoLA, and how they're the same or similar in other languages as well (eight/night, acht/nacht, etc).
Then there's Imperishable Night. Which is the eighth Touhou game ever made.
Yeah.

Both SoEW and MoF are 「ふうまろく」 ?

Every Windows Touhou game has the kanji for the final boss in the name, except for EoSD which has Koakuma and MEILING :getdown:

Also, I was suprised when I realised that Minoriko has two left feet. No, seriously, look at her ZUNart, she literally has two left feet. And it's apparently not an art goof or anything, it's symbolic of... Something, I forget. It's not as cool as having two right hands (Yori~<3), but it's still pretty interesting.

Though I have yet to seen a single fan art that depicts her with two left feet.

Body horror. Squicks people out.

Only realized a couple months ago that Orin is not, actually, wielding a giant meat clever but rather pushing a wheelbarrow. I think ZUN art may be another reason why there haven't been any two-left-feet fan depictions - maybe many figured it was a drawing error.
-
Youmu's last nonspell can be dodged with just a single tap.
A crouching Yuyuko in SWR/UNL/IaMP looks a lot like Akira from Lucky Star.
Youmu's angry portrait in PCB actually shows her hairband rather than some sort of werewolf ear.

Maybe I'm the crazy one, but recently I've started wondering whether stages 2+5 of SA aren't just the same background with different colours and some weird-ass wavy effects.
-
@ Battleship, SA is generally known for its lazy bg unfortunate.
@ Kimiko, holy hell. Now you mention it, Acht/Nacht -> Th8 / IN. I am kogasa surprised.
@ Tengukami , I don't get how people kept missing that though. Always confused by it.

She also has a Bazooka Chin, but you probably saw that first anyway...
Also,
Akyu can also spell Yuka, if a few letters are rearranged.
-
Yeah it was one of the most interesting chapters of CoLA, how in most languages, eight and night is the same. And I wondered how in my language, the two are completely different, however we can go as the Hungarian "evening" is "?jszaka", often shortened to "?j" what is also how most people pronounce "eight" here. However, "eight" is "nyolc" in Hungarian, so.

Recently realized that DS' first photo theme, The Mystery in Your Town, is loosely based off of StB's first photo theme, Wind Tour.
-
The sprites for Alice's dolls in PCB, the photo games, and technicly SA are just generic red fairies.
They don't even change colors to mache the theme of the spell.
Really, ZUN, you could have atleast just taken off the wings in ms paint at the last second or something

More importantly, DSDS is the acronym for Germany's rendition of American Idol. So we can conclude that everyone who enters these shows has down syndrome. Twice.

Okay, Remilia is a vampire and they are nigh unkillable in Touhou continuity, Yuyuko is already dead, Kaguya is perfectly immortal and Eirin has an endless lifespan, Kanako can only die if her faith runs out, Byakuren is also ageless but since when is Okuu immortal? Sure, youkai are hard to kill, but youkai still have limited life spans unless they meet a certain requirement (get strong/wise enough or something along those lines) or have an ability that already does all the work for them (the theory that Yukari removing her border of life and death for example). Okuu's power boost made her a lot stronger than the majority of youkai, but I doubt it was enough to make her immortal.
Or am I missing a new piece of Word-of-God?

Late, but they're not the same. SoEW = ふうまろく, MoF = ふうじんろく.
They're weirdly close though.

She vored the sun god Kanako gave her. True, it's not exactly stated that she's immortal or can not really die by normal means, but you can see where the implications of immortality will crop up.
The way I see it though; you're not immortal if I can kill you and you STAY dead.

"ocho" (eight) and "noche"(night) sound well in my language too...but nobody see the infinity symbol in the eight from TH8? all about eternity and inmortality, and the 8 of the infinity...

This isn't really a crazy thing, but ZUN says that the IN Stage 3 Theme, Nostalgic Blood of the East ~ Old World, sounds like a song that he did a few years ago, and I recently realized that it was similar to Illusionary Girl from Canaveral, the Stage 5 theme from Shuusou Gyoku. :B
Also Illusionary Girl from Canaveral is a pretty cool song but that isn't relevant.

I swear, ZUN is planning to take over the world with his freaking genius plot plans.
Don't ask how that correlates to taking over the world, it's ZUN, he can do what he wants :D

That's funny, I don't remember saying anything like this. But I can tell you, in the ten years that I've been working with the disabled, that people with Down's tend to have pretty sunny dispositions, enjoy the little things in life, and have a great sense of humor. Which is more than I can say for plenty of people I know, myself among them. But hey, welcome back!

That's pretty much how I see it, too. And I'd think swallowing a sun god would make you if not immortal than at least nigh invincible anyway.

If all the stages in PCB were numbered in order, Phantasm would be 8th.
I love this thread so much.

Hmm, but in Japanese, 8 meant "a lot" while 9 meant "infinite".
meanwhile, Yukari estimates in CiLR's 5th chapter that 7, 8 or 9 people are willing to help her.
7 = the one-week wizard?
8 = Yagokoro?
9 = Yuyuko? If so.. how's that number related to her?

-Sariel is the angel of death,who can kill in massive form with his-her evil eye (i read somewhere who this angel who kill with the eyes XD) but in some apocripha stories appear like a Grigori who fall in sin of lust. Yuyuko (or the Saigyou Ayakashi) can do the same: kill if they want, are cursed-fallen (Saigyou was sealed; Yuyuko, for be the seal of the ayakashi tree, can?t go to the nirvana)...
-Marisa is like Son goku spinoff (no the DBZ one, the original one): she no is bad originally, but she do the things who she wants (who no always is a good thing) love shiny magic (the monkeys love shiny things...) she mimic spells from other characters (monkeys sometimes mimic humans!) she have the mini hakkero (A different sort of Hakkero appeared in the legend Journey to the West, where it was a furnace in which the monkey king Son Goku/Sun Wukong was imprisoned as punishment after devouring the peach of immortality. ..thanks Touhou wiki) Marisa wants found the secret of inmortality or turn a youkai (thing who really happen to Son Goku when eats the peaches of inmortality...that monkey turn into a kind of god, a youkai-like)

Better. ?What symbol is it on Yukari's hat? An infinity sign.
now something who found in Yukari: in IaMP, she have a dress with a pair of i-ching hexagrams...together form the number 45, Ts'ui or ZHUI, the reunion. Hexagram 45 is named 萃 (cu?), "Clustering". Other variations include "gathering together (massing)" and "finished". Its inner trigram is ☷ (坤 kūn) field = (地) earth, and its outer trigram is ☱ (兌 du?) open = (澤) swamp. (thanks wiki you can read this in her profile in the Touhou wiki too.) she reunited all fantastic magical things in one place and confined it in a closed place...nee?

"While I was remembering these unnecessary things, I saw my destination. Close [chika] by the Forest [mori] of Magic, and the rainy spell [rin] joining the drizzly rain [kirisame] and the forest. Yes, this is a shop with an owner that would make such an obvious name. The incense [kou] relates to gods, basically meaning shrine. Geez, this guy really likes this stuff. ?Kourindou?. This old and small shop... The Kirisame, humans... this forest of youkai... and then the shrine at the center of their borders. In other words, is this place supposed to be the heart of Gensokyo?"
Marisa's Family name, Kirisame (霧雨) means "drizzly rain".
Rinnosuke's family name, Morichika (森近), literally means "close by the forest".
As for Kourindou (香霖堂) it means "Hall of the Incensed (or perfumed) Rain (or rainy spell)".
The kanji for rainy spell (霖, the same 'rin' from 'Rinnosuke') looks like it's a mix from forest (森) and rain (雨). (It probably is.) (Thanks Nietz!!))
when i saw this,my mind blew away.
for me, HE is the true cauldron of surprises. is one of the more misterious characters in Touhou, because we, even today, don?t know who kind of half youkai is him, or his motivations, or why he have that kind of knowledge,beign "only" a curious half youkai shopkeeper who can fabric things like the mini hakkero.he is so...hermetic, like a mason or something like that.

In PCB, Youmu tries to Master Spark you while your having the Mid-boss conversation with her. "I will drain *Master Spark SFX and line change* every drop of spring from you!" Seriously, that always made me panic, cause I knew the Master Spark sound somewhat off-by-heart.
In PCB, if you wait about 2-3 seconds aftre Youmu declares Deva Realm Sword "Seven Sins" then say the name of the card, you can easily say it in tune with the song. Seven Sins is also a sword attack in [urlhttp://www.rpgfan.com/pics/phantomkingdom/logo.jpg]another video game[/url] that looks alot like a Giant Freaking Laser... Spark anyone? *see above for details*
Most of Mystia's Veiw-reducing spells(IN) are easier then they should be, due to you actually being forced to look at your character, rather then ahead.
A notable number of Yukari's PCB Spellcards are named after Opposites. Life and Death, Motion and Stillness, Humans and Youkai, Light and Darkness, Straight and Curve... thats 5, how many cards does she have in PCB anyway?
-
Utsuho should have been one of those brown tanned girrls, consider the amount of tan she must get with all that sun flare around her.
Nekomata can revive dead bodies just by leaping over them.
from what I know however, in contradiction, Kasha was known to steal the souls of those recently deceased and ride away with their bodies. Doesn't that mean Orin can possess people?

Most of the glowing bullets like Kogasa second card in extra were introduced in StB.
-
PCB introduced arrowheads, butterflies, curvy lasers, music notes, and curved daggers.
IN introduced amulets, stars, literal bullets, oval pellets, inverted bullets, and additive blend fireballs.
PoFV introduced some more bullet types, but I don't think any of them carried over into the other games except Komachi's coins.
StB introduced the new additive blend fireballs.
MoF introduced tiny spinner bullets.
SA introduced explosions and hearts (not just Utsuho's explosions either, Orin, Satori-Alice and Suwako have used them as well)
UFO introduced droplets, umbrellas, brofists, anchors, runic lasers, curvy laser the revenge, and purple fire (many of these could be seen as familiars though)
DS introduced minipellets, and has additive blend versions of many other bullets, some of which are used instead of lasers for the spark attacks.
That's probably most-ish of them :V

DS sparklasers are actually a bullet on their own.

Spell circles. Allow me to give you an example.
Here are the spell circles of twenty characters playable since Hisotensoku.
(http://pds15.egloos.com/pds/200910/30/12/c0008512_4aeaa61feaad9.jpg)
Can you guess which one is Meiling's spell circle? It's the bottom row of the middle column. It is a spiral of rainbow color. Why would she have this spell circle?
Rainbow is a type of dragon god (refer to DS 3-5). China has a character "dragon" "(龍) on her hat. She uses rainbow danmaku, and often makes names of her special moves and spell cards belated to dragon.
If we can accept her manipulation of Qi ~ use the power of the dragon god, we establish the fact that China is a symbolism of the dragon, the highest diety of Gensokyo. This is reflected upon the fact that her Vs. fight dialog with Sakuya and Remilia. I remember in one of the doujin I read, China is actually the dragon itself.
Lots of other interesting things can be found through analyzing the character's spell cards.
May I add for an extra food for thought that Remilia is the mistress of people whose abilities are natural weakness to the vampire?

there's another rainbow circle on the right.

That's Tenshi. Interestingly, the sequence of colors is reversed in comparison to Meiling.
You know, I am a little confused that Sakuya didn't get clock imagery in her circle somewhere.
Also, even though the majority of circles are obvious, I am not sure which one is Suika's...

Touhou 12.3.
The circles of the characters that appear in the 12.3 story mode can be seen during the credits roll. I am not sure where you can see the other ones, though. Possibly during a spell declare, I would have to check...
Ah, they appear in the background if you select a character in vs. mode.
I just noticed that the red one with eyes is Remilia's, and the bright red one without eyes is Reisen's. I would've suspected it would be the other way round...
-
They are behind the Characters when you select them in a VS mode
-
Thank you! I looked at the spell card declarations too as it seemed the most obvious place, but there was nothing there... and it's amazing just how detailed those circles are when they're only seen once in game, and it's hard to make out the details then (or you just miss them, if you're half blind like me).

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil had the Stage 4 boss (Patchouli) as the EX-midboss.
Perfect Cherry Blossom has the Stage 2 boss (Chen) as the EX-midboss.
Imperishable Night had the Stage 3 boss (Keine) as the EX-midboss.
Mountain of Faith has the Stage 6 boss (Kanako) as the EX-midboss.
Subterranean Animism had the Stage 5 boss of the previous game (Sanae) as the EX-midboss.
Undefined Fantastic Object had the Stage 2 boss (Kogasa) as the EX-midboss.
We need the Stage 1 boss of a future game to come back as the EX-midboss.

Actually, that's Suika's. Sakuya's the fifith column on the first row.
The only one that, for me, Doesn't fit is Youmu's (First of the second row)
Sakuya's red circle must have something to do with that red magic thing she had on her clothes on EoSD?

But on another note, Rikako's so far the only person that has apeared on a Danmaku Game and never shot any bullets herself (Only by her tank)

I've always noticed how the extra bosses have their picture in the background of their spells, but I just now noticed
that Mokou also has a close up of her face in the background.

And, not sure if you have noticed it by now but... Exactly, what does a cat have to do with nuclear stuff? There's a photo of one in Okuu's spellcard background...
Also, the signs on Mystic Square's Stage 3 read "Romantic" and "Children!". One is at the beginning of the stage, another at the mid-boss fight.

holy shit wtf this is not serious... Oh wait it is... OHMAIGOD you're right!
-
Am I the only the that the couple "Renko and Maribel" has something to do with the couple "Reimu and Marisa"? I mean, both begin with "Re" and "Ma"... Thus, both "Maribel" and "Marisa" are ocidental names, while "Renko" and "Reimu" are oriental names, which has something to do with Reimu and Marisa symbolozing the East ( Touhou ) and the West ( Seihou ), respectively.
It sure looks stupid, but sometimes I wonder if ZUN planted false ( but very convincent ) clues to mislead us, making us that the couple "Renko and Maribel" has something to do with Yukari... Nah, ZUN is just a drunkard, no way he could do such thing. xD
There's something else I suspect... I mean, I think that each Touhou game symbolizes something. I have a theory that EoSD, PCB, IN and PoFV group symbolize the Four Seasons. EoSD symbolizes Summer, because the Scarlet Mist incident happens in summer ( as said in Reimu's Bad Ending ), and the color Scarlet is similar to Red, that is often associated with Heat, which is associated with Summer. PCB symbolizes Winter, because it, see from a certain point of view, happens in the Winter ( it actually happens when it should be Spring, but Yuyuko and Yukari stolen it so the Winter took more time ), and it has two Ice-related bosses ( Cirno and Letty ). IN symbolizes Fall, which is relatively cold-weathered, while nights are usually a bit colder than the day... And, if you notice, the character's coloring palettes in IN mostly use slightly cold colors, to make it look like it's really at night... Just link the conceptions of "slightly cold colors" with Fall's "slightly cold weather". As for PoFV, it obviously Spring, because of the flower-blooming spree that happens into it, and Lily White appeareing, which shows that it's Spring in PoFV's events.
And there's more. The group formed by MoF, SA and UFO are likely to represent three of the Four Elements. MoF symbolizes the Earth, because it happens in a mountain, which is, somehow, a big amount of earth above the horizon. SA symbolizes Fire, because, despite it initially being associated with Earth, we start to deal with Fire on Stage 5 and 6, seeing that Fire is the main game's subject, because Utsuho wants to use Nuclear Power ( which produces godly amounts of Heat(Fire)) to blow Gensokyo up. UFO symbolizes Air, because it's events happen in sky's heights. If that rumor about Touhou 13 happening underwater was true, it would close up the Four Elements group, with the Water Element.
-
And more... I discared IaMP, SWR and UNL because they didn't fit into the symbologic sequence where they appear. It may be so because they weren't made by ZUN, assuming that he planned the symbologic sequence unaware about Tasogare Frontier wanting to make the Fighting games.
Or... Maybe IaMP, SWR and UNL are meant to actually symbolize something together. Making a very forced interpretation, IaMP was made during the Four Seasons Era ( between the Winter and the Fall, but why? ), while SWR was made during the Four Elements Era ( between the Earth and the Fire, but why? )... But this interpretation doesn't work because UNL was also made in Four Elements Era ( between Air and Water, if Touhou 13 really happened underwater ).
I have a theory that the Four Elements Era is composed just by MoF ( because it happens in a mountain(Earth), and the heroine gets up to the highs of Youkai Mountain(Air)) and SA ( because it happens mainly in the Hell(Fire), and Orin's geyser became a hot spring(Water)), while UFO is the first representative of another Era, which symbology is unknown because there's no Danmaku game after it, until now.
So, each Fighting game symbolizes an Era of Touhou series. If you link the concepts of Four Seasons, Four Elements and the unknown symbol of UFO's Era, what concept will we get?
Whatever UFO's Era symbolizes, it's likely that merging the concepts of Four Seasons and Four Elements we get a yet-to-name concept that is 99% related to Ocultism and/or Paganism, things that are related to Magic, which permeates the whole Touhou series.
But there's a bloody contradiction in my theory: SWR was made in Four Elements Era, but this game is all about Weather, which is related to Four Seasons. Meanwhile, I can't link anything about IaMP with the concepts of Four Seasons or Four Elements. Thus, I can't link anything about UNL to anything about UFO, despite both mention things indirectly relatedt of the Outside World's Science ( Flying Saucers and Giant Mechas )... Well, both Flying Saucers and Giant Mechas that only exist in fiction, so there's actually a slight link.

Yamame's nonspells' bullets are actually 5x5 pixels balls that turn into the big ones.
In EoSD, you can kill fairies by slamming them with your character (Although you die in the process, you can do it during the invincibility period after dying too)
You can actually shape Night Bird's hp (Only to less than the original value) by damaging Rumia until the desired ammount and timing her nonspell out (Easy mode only)
You can make any boss in EoSD explode (as in the end of a battle) if you time out their final attack and just as the counter strikes zero, you bomb.

Somewhere.
Apparently it only works if you start at the center.

You don't need to start at the center. Not sure if it works with characters other than Reimu though, and the fists never actually overlap, so the hitbox is probably still the whole thing.

I was reading ZUN's comments on his musical compositions the other day, and found myself struck by the eloquence of the following passage, in which ZUN tells us a bit about his own beliefs. The following is taken from ZUN's comment on "Border of Life", from the PCB Afterword.
The boundary between life and death.
For proof of life to be possible, there must be the dead.
So, there is no living thing that won't die. If something isn't
alive it can't die, but something that can't die isn't really alive.
I believe the true state of life is this unyielding state of limbo.
It's particularly interesting to hear this sentiment expressed in PCB, i.e. before IN. I think it makes the thematic connection between the different types of 'immortality' presented in PCB and IN clearer, though my understanding of it all is still rather hazy (to recapitulate: Yuyuko is a ghost who cannot reincarnate due to her mortal body being used to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi - she lies outside the cycle of reincarnation and in a sort of limbo dual to the limbo referred to in the quote. Kaguya of course imbibed the Hourai elixir, though oddly enough her punishment for doing so was to be exiled from the 'Pure Land' of the Moon to the impure world of Earth).
I wonder if ZUN is elsewhere as open about his own beliefs - maybe in some other of his music comments?
-
I've noticed that ZUN has a strange obsession about whether his music sounds 'eastern' or 'western'. When I write music, I never go for regions, but for how the song itself sounds. I'm not good enough to control what the user feels when hearing it, though...
off topic: has anyone found a remix of the song playing when fighting the 5 orbs in Touhou 2?
-
I noticed the Eastern/Western thing in his music comments too. I think it's interesting ZUN is thinking about this, as well as other aspects of the song (style, pace, how it goes with the stage/character/danmaku, what feelings it invokes). I feel like this is something ZUN does that many other game designers don't focus on (well it might not be their focus for the game, while it definitely is for ZUN, so all's forgiven :) ). And this is why I love Touhou music. Listening to the music always brings back the same emotions and imagery I experienced when I first heard the music in the game, which is what makes it special.
off topic: has anyone found a remix of the song playing when fighting the 5 orbs in Touhou 2?
Did a search using http://www16.atwiki.jp/toho/ and found only 1 listed arrange of that song.
Circle: Zephill

Track 03: Stake life on conflict
There might be other arranges though, since that site doesn't have everything.

I know this has been said before, but the first time that I noticed the faint image of Mokou in the background during a spell card, I freaked out. I noticed this while watching a replay of one of my spell practice runs through Possessed by Phoenix. During a quiet part, with no bullets on screen, I looked back at the mesmerizing swirling pattern in the background and suddenly noticed.......MOKOU'S FACE AHHH!!! It's a little creepy. Even as she disappears during the spell card, she's there...........watching............

The max damage the damage counter in Hisoutensoku can count is somewhere between 32000 and 33000 (but I guess it is 32767)
If a single combo does do over 33000, then the damage counter will actually decrease from the max damage
Thankfully, that kind of damage will rarely never happen in a real battle.
I did it with Fantasy heaven, four control rods on each player, and the weather must be drizzle or typhoon with auto-heal

Do you work for tvtropes or something? Because you sure refer to them a lot. Just sayin'.
...No comment.
Until I checked the Touhou wikia, I never realized how old Aya actually was...
EDIT: Look at the Stage 4 bosses. (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Banshiryuu:_Characters) Isn't it a lot like Imperishable Night?
-
I guess it was something I never paid attention to but I recently noticed Chen has an earring.
-
I don't know, but has anyone realized, that Master Sparks appeareance differs between the shmups and fighters? In IaMP/SWR/UNL (in b4 ITS NOT UNL) it is coloured like a rainbow, in the shooters it's plain white... (at least I noticed that in IN which I've been milking out with Marisa for a long time, but I still don't have Fantasy Heaven...oh, far off topic... :ohdear:)

I have no idea what that second image is. Therefore, it's just you.
-
All you need to know is that they are also "sisters" and they share the same colors as the Prismrivers.
-
Not even whether they were created before and after PCB? Or indeed anything that tells me more than just "HURRR SIMILARITY TO TOUHOU WHICH PROBABLY FITS BETTER IN THE 'ADDICTED' THREAD"? :V
-
I've kinda noticed that stage 5 bosses seem to have some kind of weapon that is associated with them.
EoSD: Sakuya's knives
PCB: Youmu's katana set
IN: Reisen with guns
PoFV: Komachi's scythe
MoF: Sanae's gohei
UFO: Shou's spear
The odd one out would be Orin's wheelbarrow, (and if you don't count it, Sanae's gohei).

ah...that are the Moirae...Clotho,Lachesis,Atropos. three sisters who controlled the "thread of life" of every mortal from birth to death.
but i see some more relation with the things of their hats: Moon, Star, Sun. First, remind me the song "Instant Karma"...who have relation with buddism or shintoism, but im not to sure..XD. Exactly the same symbolism who have SUNny Milk, LUNA Child and STAR Sapphire, the faeries...
-

Before PCB. Aaaand yes this is more "coincidence" than "possibly-crazy stuff", my bad :V

Is it just me, OR YUYUKO IS THE ONLY GHOST THAT ACTUALLY HAS FEET??
-
Is it just me, OR YUYUKO IS THE ONLY GHOST THAT ACTUALLY HAS FEET??
youmu, youki, the prismrivers...
-
Youmu and Youki are half ghosts. The part we see with feet are the human part.
The prismriver are poltergeist, and I know, they are very similar, but they are different.
Murasa has, too. But the post I did was from a thought from before I knew that UFO was released, so...um, sorry xD
-
On the topic of ghosts (characters, not the myon-shaped balls of soul), isn't Mima the only one with a ghost tail?
-
I dunno, but it's odd... (for some reason, I just noticed that Yuyuko had feet...and for some surely weirder reason, I thought that she was the only one...)
If both of them are ghost...
why doesn't Mima have feet? Why does Yuyuko have?
Maybe it's because MIma is an evil ghost?
No, that doesn't explain anything...
Think, Mary, think...ugh *head explodes*
And the "myon-shaped balls of soul" are actually phantoms (see PMiSS)...So, yeah, Youmu is not half-ghost but half-phantom. And yeah, THERE IS DIFFERENCE xD
-
Has anyone really thought about what the "F" on those yellow boxes that appear when you lose your last life stand for? A thought came to me that perhaps ZUN is sympathizing with frustrated players, as when you lose your last life, you're likely going "FFFFFFFFFFFF-" (verbally or mentally), as represented by the several "F" boxes that appear right before you see the game over screen.
-

Really? Well that's cool, I'll have to finish reading it sometime.
And maybe it's just Mima trying to look more 'typically ghost-like,' or just showing off (Haha, bitches! I've got a /tail/.) ...or something.
*cough* I never claimed to know how Mima thinks. >>
And AJS, I think it's for Full. Although I love the way you think.
-
full
you're dumb
-
I know, I know, Youtube comments aren't the best place to go for information, but just think about this...
"I saw what ZUN was trying to do with her design. She's a Karakasa; a one eyed living umbrella in Japanese myth.
ZUN made her over all design blue (blue hair, blue dress, blue eye) but gave her one bright red eye to distinguish it from the rest of her. He was trying to give the effect of her having one eye without literally giving her one eye."
"And one more thing I noticed in her design is that she almost always have one leg folded and one strait. Maybee to symbolyze being one legged."
That sound? That was my mind being blown.
-
^That's mentioned in the wiki, actually.
Also, another thing I just noticed: the giant in 12.3's title screen has a smiley face.
-

Yeah... i really need to read the wiki more.
Also: there's a giant on 12.3's title screen?... *goes to check*
-
ALSO the face we have of Kogasa's head, she is closing an eye (karakasa's eye) and showing her tounge (DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?)
-

I read the same comment months ago. This comment is awesome.
-
Mima's an evil spirit, not a ghost. And so far, most of what we know about evil spirits comes from SA. So it might be that advanced enough evil spirits are like that.
-

You might, because I'm a bit slow. More karakasa'd goodness?
-
A karakasa only has one eye and one leg, and a long tongue. Kogasa usually has one eye closed, her tongue showing, and only one leg extended. Even when her eyes are open, it still has the illusion of only having one eye, because only one is bright red while the other one is the same color as almost everything else.
As for a new crazy thing I noticed: a friend of mine asked why the fairies were shooting at the main character, and although at first I dismissed it as "because there wouldn't be a game otherwise," it got me thinking. In most of the games, the first few waves of fairies either don't shoot at all, or just shoot sparsely and randomly without paying attention to where the character is. Maybe the rest of the fairies notice you shooting those ones, so they decide to shoot back because you (temporarily) killed their friends.
-
... That makes a surprising amount of sense.
And, assuming I'm not totally mistaken, you could reason that the first fairies have a go at you in Fairy Wars because they all know Cirno's kind of a dick and/or they're tired of her (much-deserved in my opinion) boasting. :V
-

1. Mischievous fairies being mischievous.
2. Revenge for fallen sisters.
3. Out for a flying treasure ship.
4. Being guards.
5. Recruited by the three mischievous fairies to stall Cirno and prank humans.
6. Were blown up in stage one, comes back as a death fairy in Extra.

Fairycide has long been the sport of mikos and magicians, as has vendetta, amongst the fairies.

Just fell down a wikihole and stumbled upon this. Shou's a Bishamonten. Do you think there'd be bad blood between she and Mokou?
Originally, the tiger was only somewhat related to Bishamonten, but became even more relevant when the Buddhist groups in Asuka period, Shoutoku taishi and Soga shi, subdued the anti-Buddhist group Mononobe shi because Bishamonten appeared in front to support them at the hour of the tiger on the day of the tiger in the year of the tiger (寅の年、寅の日、寅の刻) of the Chinese zodiac. [Emphasis added.]
The Mononobe clan (物部氏 Mononobe uji?) was a Japanese clan of the Kofun period, known for its military opposition to the Soga clan. The Mononobe were opposed to the spread of Buddhism, not on religious grounds, but more so as the result of feelings of conservatism and a degree of xenophobia. The Nakatomi clan, ancestors of the Fujiwara, were allies with the Mononobe in this. [Emphasis added.]
-

Cool story bro.
Well, I personally don't think much of it, but somebody's going to stretch this fact to extreme lengths...
-
Eh? Was just more an open speculation. The Fujiwara ruled during the Heian period, and Bhuddism was doing pretty well then. It's not answerable in other words. Just something I noticed. That's why it was posted in this 'stuff you noticed' thread, you know? Christ.
-
I only now noticed that Mystia has long (green) claws...
-
Not really something I personally didn't notice, but. Marisa now has seven original themes. Nine, and possibly ten if you count arranges.
Love-Colored Magic
Dim. Dream
Vessel of Stars ~ Casket of Star
The Witches' Ball ~ Magus
Oriental Dark Flight
Magician's Melancholy
Magus Night
(I believe Magician's Melancholy to be about Marisa, and I'm counting it as one of her themes. GoM is entirely from Marisa's point of view, and the fact that there were only two tracks, one original, depicting a magician... I can't just view it as a random track such stuff from R53M. Same goes for Sputnik Genya, although it's an arrange and doesn't seem to be particularly about Marisa, save for sounding like something she would have as a theme.)
-
Well, this is just a thought I got when I was thinking about Alice and Marisa...
Marisa has all the "love colored" stuff but...her outfit doesn't have colors! (black and white aren't colors)
And so...Alice is the "rainbow" magician...rainbow + black/white = all the colors.
... And the third magician we have, Patchouli knowledge, is known as the "one-week magician", like, seven days and the seven colored-rainbow? I don't think it is a coincidence...
-
Played Sanae A for the first time in ages, and just now saw this:
That's right,
We shouldn't make fun of even mice.
They are a precious living being required for scientific experiments in the outer world.

Sunny has a red scheme and blue eyes.
Star has a blue scheme and yellow eyes.
Luna has a yellow scheme and red eyes.
-
Sunny has a red scheme and blue eyes.
Star has a blue scheme and yellow eyes.
Luna has a yellow scheme and red eyes.
:o
-
Star has dark blue eyes.
EDIT: And besides, Luna has white/black scheme. The only yellow things in her are her moon in the bottom of her dress and her hair
-
By "scheme" I'm referring to hair and clothes. Their danmaku follows these colors too.
Star's eyes are yellow as of recently. They were blue and gray before.
Is it not obvious that they have a rotating color scheme going? :|
-
Oh, it seems that I didn't notice it (now that I'm playing, it's probably because it's not too noticeable)...but well, Sunny's danmaku has orange, yellow and red colors.
Luna has yellow danmaku because I think that if they were white they would look pretty bad. ANd also, to simbolyze the moon.
Sunny has red clothes and gold hair. Luna has white/black clothes and yellow hair. Star has dark brown hair and blue clothes.
-
Sunny has gold hair? I thought it looked red/orange-ish in the game...
Mind blown about the rotating color scheme, though.
-
Yeah, I also thought of orange but then I thought "Even though it's anime...it sounds bad" So I went to touhou wiki to get a better color to describe it and it said gold.
Anyway, another crazy thing:
I dunno is this's been said before, but there are some moons in the background's spellcards and also in the place were the mischievous fairies usually stand you can see a cosmic scenery. Well, star, moon, sun...I guess it's not that crazy...
-
anyone notice that Eirin's spellcard background is just Yuyukos with a moon stuck in?
-
I dunno if this's been posted before, but..
Renko's clothes are almost the same as Reimu's with different colors. (Do you see near Renko's shoulder? There is a black thingy. If you just took away the part of the shoulder that is separated by the black thing, it would look like Reimu's detachable sleeves)
-

Going by a tiny piece of official art (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Renko_Usami) I found (yay wiki), I could totally see the detached sleeves thing. You'd probably have to drop the tie to get it looking a lot like Reimu... Good observation, though!
Added a link to it.
-
But Reimu has a neckerchief, at least xD
-
Well I'll be damned. So she does!
-
But, um...this is strange.
Reimu seems to be younger than Renko (If Renko didn't skip any year or anything, she would be about 20...)
Maribel seems to be younger than Yukari.(She IS younger xD)
...OH...Border of past and present (in humans)!DAMMIT YUKARIII! xD
Why would she do that? Well...Let's think it this way: Why would YUKARI want to see HERSELF and REIMU in the same age? xD
(It was a joke, btw. I'm freakingly bored -.-)
-
Two UFO things.
Not crazy at all, but when a UFO pops up, I never noticed the circular gauge/icon thing that displays how many P and point items it sucked in until the other day.
Also, when Kogasa sticks her tongue out (like in :P ), she closes her blue eye. I thought it was just her being cute and whatnot, but then it hit me... more karakasa'd goodness.
-

I've already said that xD (No one listens to me in the school, no one listens to me in my house, NO ONE LISTENS TO ME AT ALL TT-TT. But this is not listen, this is reading xD)
-
I just noticed that Sunny Milk and Reimu has the same clothing color scheme and the yellow ...thing on the neck.

(Still kinda surprised about the UFO bubble icon thing, though...)
-
hehe we are two now
ZOMFG!!ZOMFG!!
I just realized that Utsuho's caution sign HAS CAT FACES! AND REAL ONES xD
Edit: One of the three thingys is a cat face, the other one is like a space scene and I think that the third one is a lader.
-
anyone notice that Eirin's spellcard background is just Yuyukos with a moon stuck in?
Is it? I was under the impression they were completely different, but I always choose to fight Kaguya and IN's my least-played game (PC-98 included (SoEW included)), so.
EDIT: Wow, they are surprisingly similar.
-

yeah, the cats are a reference to the cats in Prypiat, Ukraine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prypiat,_Ukraine). I can't, for the life of me, remember what the other two things were.
-
The space is the same thing as her cape.
I suppose that the lader is because...well, they are underground, aren't they?
-
Just fell down a wikihole and stumbled upon this. Shou's a Bishamonten. Do you think there'd be bad blood between she and Mokou?
History says yes, ZUN would probably say something along the lines of "her ancestors were the ones involved, she was too preoccupied with exacting her revenge on Mokou, etc etc". Still, I hope there is just for the sake of continued character development.
-
Well, I didnt read everything so I dont know if some of this stuff is already on here.
On Eirin's last spell, hourai elixir, if you look at the upper left hand corner, it says that they're still 2 more spell cards left.
When your over 80% or -80% a very small border appears around ur character.
Heh, heh, I havent really noticed alot of stuff in other Touhou games thats already been posted on here.
-
The space is the same thing as her cape.
I suppose that the lader is because...well, they are underground, aren't they?
It's true that they're underground, but in Touhou Hisoutensoku shows much more detailed, even if it wasn't seen in Chireiden
-

Seriously? Man, and I thought IN was the game that I actually paid attention to little stuff in...
-
When your over 80% or -80% a very small border appears around ur character.
Huh, I thought the border was always there.
It took me a long time to realize that's what makes your shots change color though. I always used to think Alice's beam turning red was a glitch. :derp:
-
Well, ehhh, let me try to fix that, there is normally a border around ur character, but when ur over 80 or -80% the border darkens and gets some other small details... If I remember right. Well, all I remember is that the border changes. :D ( im pretty sure that there isnt the small details, but im not certain...)
-

I just noticed the thingy that falls from wriggle in her spell cards. What the hell is that, btw?
-

I thought it was her cape at first (coming off of her sprite, like she'd thrown it off in a dramatic fashion), but I /believe/ it's a bug.
-
That's odd, I always thought the cat in utsuho's spellcard was just a refference to Orin XD
-

It could still be. The "Fun Facts" section of Touhou wiki profiles are often filled with speculative phrasing, such as, "The cat in the background of Utsuho might be a reference to ...". If you read the Talk pages, you'll see even more speculation.
-
Has ZUN ever given his word on the cat face?
-
Has ZUN ever given his word on the cat face?
?? Are you reffering to Alice's cat or...?
-
The cat in Utsuho's spell BG.
-
The cat in Utsuho's spell BG.
ahhhh~n
Well, if he didn't, it has to be something obvious. So I think it's probably Orin...
-
The obvious one would be that, but the current "best" theory is that it references the abandoned villages near Chernobyl in which have been overrun with cats.
-
If we all turn out to be wrong and ZUN just threw it in for shits and giggles, I will chuckle heartily.
And I never noticed that EoSD's bubbles have a larger hitbox than (for example) SA bubbles. ... damn bubbles...
-
I'm also curious about that thing that drops down from Wriggle. The first few times I played Imperishable Night, I kept trying to "capture" this object in some way. To me it looks like a derby hat with a feather in it, but that makes no sense.

Lunatic? Hell, I can't get to her on /normal/. (Granted I haven't played much and my last run was Hard and I got to the first few waves of her stage, but!)
...Lunatic stage 6 scares me... :ohdear:

"BOMB FOR YOUR LIFE!" or "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT!? DODGE, DAMMIT!"

So it's like regular Touhou, except twice (or three times) the pain?
Also, I had no idea about the option to change lives (in earlierish games) for non-IN games until a few weeks ago. :| I now check all option menus beforehand.
-
Reading Star Sapphire's profile from PMiSS, written years before Touhou 12.8:
Fairies are very self-centered, so they easily come into conflict with each other. In this case, as the ice fairy is used to fighting, she would likely win even 1 against 3.

Oh You are right! I remembered I saw them on the pc-98 games but I never touched them because I thought "This should be easy". And I was, of course, wrong xD
-
This isn't something I noticed recently, but I'm sure other people might find it interesting: the midboss in LLS Extra is identical to midboss Nue in both appearance and behavior (glowing orbs that drop items before leaving, ending with a 1up).

that was on touhou wiki, I think. And yeah, they are identical O_?
-
Nah, touhouwiki mentions her being the stage 2 midboss for MS, despite the fact that that's blatantly a clock and lacks the item-dropping behavior. I'll edit that when I'm not on a phone.
-
Reading Star Sapphire's profile from PMiSS, written years before Touhou 12.8:
I've noticed that if you read a lot of the earlier printed works like PMiSS or Bohemian Archive (Maybe, I haven't read that myself.) then it seems to... Let's say 'hint,' at a lot of the games to come.
-
ZUN had everything planned since SoEW
-
Given the amount of 'Oh hey, that was kinda hinted at back in (X)!' moments, I'd believe that.
-
ZUN has had a lot of time to think and plan the series out when not working on the games. He can't possibly throw in everything he wants to elaborate on in the games themselves. This is why there are written works in the first place. I can't believe that he's planned everything since SoEW, but the breaks he took before EoSD, and before MoF, he's likely thought up many things in advance. The release dates of each written work and the significances they each have to the games is no coincidence.
-
Oh, totally. He goes through periods of seeming inactivity, but has a wellspring of written works to draw from. And then in one 12-month period releases four games.
-
Given the amount of 'Oh hey, that was kinda hinted at back in (X)!' moments, I'd believe that.

You made me remember something! In changeability of strange dream, Maribel talked about a big mouse that had red eyes and human body! MOUSE! NAZRIN!
-

Probably not since SoEW but he does plan in advance quite a bit. I think I remember reading (and don't shoot me if I'm wrong) that he had IN planned way before PCB but he needed to introduce characters first.
-

And (I forget the source, but it's on the wiki) he had StB-esque games planned since EoSD, while he was taking screenshots of the spellcards.

I vaguely recall hearing something about that, I'll have to go digging through the wiki sometime I guess. Makes you wonder if he's already got a bunch of stuff planned for future games really
BTW, that was a joke ?? an exaggeration.
Ah I should have figured, I'm pretty dense at times though.

You made me remember something! In changeability of strange dream, Maribel talked about a big mouse that had red eyes and human body! MOUSE! NAZRIN!
It had a human face. It could be a reference to Nazrin if he had already thought her up, but as far as I can tell Maribel was being chased by a random savage mouse youkai in the Bamboo Forest. It screamed and stuff like an animal; I doubt it was her. The main focus in that story was Mokou, anyways.
-
At the time of that story, Nazrin was still sealed underground like the rest of Byakuren's crew, so it can't be her.

Well, when did changeability of strange dream come out? I mean, maybe he had the character, but not the story of the character. Or it can be as well a coincidence, but mouse youkai...? couldn't it be something different? Maybe it means something...Does anyone have information?
-
Whether or not he might have related Nazrin to the nameless mouse youkai at some point, the fact is that there is no way Nazrin could be that youkai. It's not as though there's only one mouse youkai or cat youkai anyway.

*facepalm*
Did you read what I said?
There is a TINY POSIBILITY that ZUN had the character planned but not the story. Or that he wanted to put her in the next game or something and he couldn't so he chose to put her in UFO.
-
OR, and this is a big or, ZUN had to think up a generic youkai to chase Maribel and chose an animal he hadn't done yet, and he just so happened to use that common animal as the species of a character in a game 5 years later.
It's also worth mentioning that ZUN usually doesn't come up with stage 1 or 2 bosses until he's working on that game. Sure Nazrin has connection to the plot, but I doubt she was made so long ago.
-
Speaking of his planning, apparently he works on Stage 1 music before any of the other songs, because he doesn't want to reuse old music for the first stage (y'know, to make everything fit well-like).
Source on that was... one of those video interviews. The one about UFO.

-I mean, maybe he had the character, but not the story of the character.
Maybe, but if he was planning on making a character out of it he wouldn't be displaying it as some savage beast
-Or it can be as well a coincidence, but mouse youkai...? couldn't it be something different?
yeah could've been a squirrel or a guinea pig or a chinchilla
-Maybe it means something...
maybe
-Does anyone have information?
nothing concrete
Anyways not sure if this discussion belongs in this thread anymore. Drifted away from "stuff you noticed" to "let's guess about stuff".
-
Maybe, but if he was planning on making a character out of it he wouldn't be displaying it as some savage beast
No, but maybe for a girl who lives in our world it MAY look like so.
yeah could've been a squirrel or a guinea pig or a chinchilla
There was no need to make a joke like that. It could have been any other character that appeared or anything else, I mean, there are lots of animal species. Why a mouse? it's ZUN, he wouldn't take it so lightly as to put any random animal.
Anyway...
I found yet another "hint". (this time in GFC)
I have no idea what the connection is. I guess it's something like spirit photographies of dead people.
Okay, before anyone says anything, this MIGHT be the inspiration of Hatate's special way of photographing.

nobody cares! that's not what this thread is about! I made a comment about how Eirin's spellcard background looks just like yuyuko's with a moon stuck in, and it was just blown by. Let's get back to noticing shit!

Uh, no, I replied to that. Either way, this thread is about things people noticed, not things you noticed that you want attention for.
-
Chill out a bit, LPS. Some amount of derailing is inevitable around here, can lead to interesting discussions and not exactly discouraged. However, if some of youse want to discuss tangents much further than this I suggest creating a new thread about it and respecting the OP's thread subject. Also,
anyone notice that Eirin's spellcard background is just Yuyukos with a moon stuck in?
Nope.

Nazrin stuff
Everyone seems to forget about the possibility that this creature was Nazrin after all and just evolved from beast youkai to humanoid youkai in the time period between Maribel's visit and UFO. :/ A lot of Youkai start out as mundane items and animals and then turn into monsters. It isn't only till they gain full sentience that they adopt humanoid form. Considering the mouse had a human face it might have been right in the middle of its development into a humanoid youkai/Nazrin.

Hey, I've noticed something else while wondering about HIna. Why does she spins?
I was listening to a song that was a remix of luna dial, called "dial connected" and I remembered that in the PV Remilia was represented with the tarot card of "the wheel of luck"....
WAIT A MINUTE.
Wheel of luck? Spin? Hina?
Am I the only one seeing it here, HAVE I JUST GOT CRAZY?
-
hi i didn't memorize each word of every manual
Nazrin is like 1000+++ years old, commands mice similarly to Tewi/rabbits and has been a left-hand of Bishamonten for who knows how long. It's probable that Nazrin was sealed away with the rest of the crew during this time anyways, since said "dream" took place before SA.
-
Maybe he just forgot about that fact, because, you know, not everyone memorizes each word of every manual.
EDIT: Besides, it's over. Stop fighting about it. We are going to have to make a topic about it otherwise.

You know, Hinas symbol in Grimoire of Marisa IS the Wheel of fortune?
There is not questioning that she is somehow related to that.
I personally also see the spinning like a tornado that sucks all misfortune into it.

Momizi's MoF sprite actually does show her having wolf ears, despite what I previously thought. They're barely noticeable and appear to be floppy instead of pointed, though.

Hmmm... :/
*looks at the sprite*
OHSHI- :o
These 5 pixels on each side of her head are of sufficiently different brightness and placed suchly that they cannot really be handwaved as light reflexions on her hair.
On another note, her legs don't look particularly healthy in that sprite...
-

Well, as someone who bases his sprites on ZUN's, I think that's the case for almost every sprite.
-
It's not something that I didn't notice, per se but I am assuming the 'Dead Parrot" message that appears when you or your opponent is defeated in PoFV is a reference to the Monty Python skit, Dead Parrot.
"She's passed on! This youkai is no more! She has ceased to be! She's expired and gone to meet her maker! She's a stiff! Bereft of life, she rests in peace! If you hadn't bombed her with your last spellcard, she'd be pushing up the daisies! Her metabolic processes are now history! She's off the twig! She's kicked the bucket, she's shuffled off her mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-YOUKAI!!"

Quickie correction: As far as I recall, Shou was never sealed away (which is necessary for her to be able to find out how to unseal Byakurin in the first place. Finding out how to do so would have been difficult had Shou been sealed away for all that time as well), so Nazrin, being Shou's watcher and minion, was likely not sealed away too.
-
Shou was never sealed away
This is confirmed. Her profiles says that she continued work for the Bishamonten
so Nazrin, being Shou's watcher and minion, was likely not sealed away too.
of course I would agree with that
However, a quick search of canon material did not return any info about it.

Yea, nothing in the canon confirms or denies whether or not Nazrin was sealed away. In my own personal opinion, it isn't very likely though (but again, nothing's confirmed)
Interestingly enough, nothing's confirmed that Nazrin even gives a rat's arse about Byakurin in general. In fact, unlike the rest of Byakurin's supporters, who for the most part are innocent and quite confused when accused of things by the heroines, Nazrin even makes it quite clear that she's still happy to eat humans today (or at least, have her mice eat them). For Murasa, one of the heroines can't come up with anything to accuse her about besides the simple fact that she's a youkai (to which Murasa replies with the obvious defense that there's nothing she can do about THAT)
For all we know, Nazrin could conceivably just be a youkai who does the typical youkai things (such as say, terrorizing and eating humans) in her spare time, when she isn't carrying out orders from Shou or Bishamonten, and is only supporting Byakuren simply because of Shou's orders.
Again, there's nothing official to confirm that, but there's nothing official to even imply the opposite, either. If anything, Nazrin's willingness to eat humans sets her quite apart from the other dialogues in MOTF.
It also causes an interesting ladder, where the 1st stage boss is a typical youkai in Nazrin, the second stage boss is rather youkai-ish but only eats some human spirit instead of eating actual human, the next two youkai haven't really done anything bad to humans at all, the next youkai after that actually works with humans to the point that she's a substitute god for them, and the final boss wants to help usher in equality between humans and youkai. In Nazrin's case, a particularly interesting fact is that it's Nazrin, one of Byakuron's crew (or is she?), and not Kogasa, who's at the bottom of that ladder of human-youkai relations (since Nazrin and her mice are implied to actually EAT humans, which is a lot worse than just scaring them!).
-
This may just be a personal thing, but Nazrin's Gold Detector (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object:_Stage_1_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_5) seems a hell of a lot easier than Rare Metal Detector (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object:_Stage_1_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_4).
Then again, since Earthlight Ray's apparently less awful on... Hard? It may not be too crazy for Gold Detector to be somewhat easier...

I've never noticed this:
Sakuya- fifth stage boss. She re appears as a playable chracter in the next game.
Youmu- fifth stage boss. She re appears as a playable chracter in the next game.
Reisen- fifth stage boss. She re appears as a playable chracter in the next game.
Komachi- Second-to-last boss. She re appears as a playable chracter in the next game. (well, in 10.5, whatever)
Sanae- Fifth stage boss. She re appears again...in UFO. (well, almost)
I knew that the fifth stage bosses re appeared, but I didn't realized this until a while...

I just noticed the little cloud things that appear after you beat/fail miserably Hourai Elixir can be "pushed" around by your character.

What if Satori met Shou O_o?
Speaking as someone who is apparently Satori and didn't know about it until, like, the other day: I'd take Shou. :V
Sorry, Rin!
Also, since my only experience with Murasa is via DS, I /just/ noticed that her anchor has a giant bullet lodged in the center, which is possibly its hitbox!
-

And yeah, Shou is much better.
I didn't realize that there was a (unrecognizable- to me. I don't know what the hell it is!) shadow at the beginning of the games (from th 6 - 9, I think)
-
... if that's what I think it is, then I /want/ to say it's one of the characters in that game's shadow.
I could be thinking about the games' cases, though.

NOT THAT ONE >.<
When the game begins, there is a image that has a message that says "This game is a curtain fire shooting game. Girls do they best..." And in the right side there is a shadow and it's always the same in every game.
-
MIDI themes.
That's right, I never even noticed them untill I took apart several of the games with brightmoon and found the files in there. Of course I started freaking out about this sudden discovery only to feel like a moron once I learned that everyone knew about it.
-
Yukari's parasol has a thing similar to Flandre's leviathan in the top. At first, I thought it was the same. Now I'm not sure...
-

EoSD there is no shadow.
PCB has a bunch of hand shadow puppets.
IN has the exact same shadow puppets, but mirrored and on the left.
PoFV has no shadow.
MoF has weird blotches of blackness that have no inherent shape. SA, UFO and DS have the exact same shadows at different intensities, which is kind of interesting but there isn't anything significant about them and isn't really worth noting at all.
GFW doesn't have shadows.

-
One thing that astonished me, is the size of some of the characters. Mostly with Reimu and Marisa. I thought Marisa was taller than Reimu until I read a mail of ZUN.
Same thing with Ran and Yuyuko. Both are despicted very tall, but in fact, they are as tall as Reimu. And Yukari is taller than Ran.
-
I could see Yukari being taller than Ran, for whatever reason.
But... Marisa's shorter/about the same height as Reimu? ...Weird.
Oh! Which mail was that, if you recall? I'm intrigued now.
-
Yukari being taller than Ran makes it easier for her to beat her with an umbrella (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Article_and_Interview:_Yukari).

> ? About how tall is everyone?
> Even a rough idea, like order of height, would be fine.
> I personally wonder about how small the young girls, Cirno, Rumia and the fairies are.
> About 120?130 cm?
I might officially announce an order of height if there's a demand (since I set up a height comparison chart in
the production materials).
However, backing up a bit...generally speaking, they're about as tall as girls in their early teens. A
suitable breakdown would be something like:
Tall: Sakuya, Meiling, Yukari
Fairly Tall: Reimu, Yuyuko, Alice, Letty, Ran
Fairly Short: Marisa, Youmu, Patchouli, Lunasa, Merlin
Short: Remilia, Lyrica, Chen, Cirno, Rumia, Flandre
Basically, if we consider the top level as the height of a human in her late teens or older and the bottom
level as the height of a human in her early teens, that puts them in a fairly short class (though none of that
level are human). If their sizes appear to be different on the game screen than given above, it's because of
some mystic force like perspective, so pay it no mind. :-)
Here you are ! This is just a paragraph. But it was on the Wikia, in ZUN's interviews.
Tsukiko > Oh, I remember this interview. Besides, it's a proof that Yukari isn't a kind mistress to Ran.

That, next to the name of the spellcard you're currently on, there is a "History (number)/(number)" thing. From what I've been told, it's your capture/seen ratio.
-
History (number of times captured) / (number of times seen)
I think that it's in every Windows Touhou game, both in-game and in the results menu. It's a pretty cool feature.

That means you would have to never miss it, ever. A capture adds 1 to both numbers, while a miss just adds 1 to the second number. It's a ratio of captures to total attempts, not captures to misses.

The game is kind enough to save EVERY time you see it. If you get to VoWG and ragequit or have to leave for any reason, you have to chalk it up as a failure.
This only applies from Imperishable Night on. PCB and EoSD won't save changes to your spell card records unless you finish your playthrough one way or another.

You know how if something in canon is inexplicable, or if something weird happens, people will use "Yukari is fooling around again" as an explanation or handwave?
If something cannot be explained, you attribute it to Yukari.

I was reasearching the various things that lead to the theory of Meiling being a dragon, and I just recently noticed that Chi Sign "Heaven and Earth Dragon Kick" has the Dragon kanji twice in it (気符「地龍天龍脚」). The only other character that does this in any Spellcard is Iku, in her Dragonfish "Dragon Palace's Messenger Swimming Shot" card.

A rather small detail, but after watching some Youtube videos, I've noticed that the white circle that appears around bosses in the shmups during spell cards gradually shrinks as the boss's health drops. Either that, or it just shrinks over time, regardless of boss health. Hmm, this requires further research. :3

It's amazing what goes on in the game if you pay a bit less attention to dodging and more attention to the graphics. ZUN's portraits may be, erm, "less than adequate", but his spriting is amazing, and he actually adds quite a bit of detail to sprite animations for when they're moving around, preparing certain spellcards, or even certain parts of their attacks. I never knew Reimu swung her gohei when shooting yin-yang orbs in IN until I got my hands on a sprite rip.

Too bad he got lazy with the backgrounds in SA, though. They're all just tubes with no real decoration. Although the lava rippling effect in stage 6 is awesome.
-
Except for Stage 3, and Stage 4 ...
-
Which are both amazing.
-
Except for Stage 3, and Stage 4 ...
SA stage 4 is one of my favorite backgrounds in the series.

The Prismriver Sisters' colorschemes (roughly) correspond to the three playable characters of PCB.
Why did it take me so long to notice this?
-
Black and red, sure, but pink?
-
EDIT: Oh hey she is pink!
I got the idea when looking at a piece of fanart that made her more white than pink.

I always thought it was white O_?
-
It's a very light pink that you don't notice at first, and a lot of fanart is done as if she had a white outfit. (Which is why a handful of people like us believe her to be white.)

DAMMIT YUKARI!!

-
I see numerous mentions of IN being the easiet Windows Touhou. Kaguya has, what, 4 Last Spells and a good theme for them? You cannot get a Bad End/be denied an ending for failing them. Yuyuko has 1 Last Spelland a godly theme for it, and if you fail it, you could very well be denied an ending/get a Bad End, due to being able to lose lives, and use Continues on Yuyuko(not sure bout % Reflowering though)
-
Uh yeah. STOP
So what was your point. STOP
IN is possibly the easiest on Easy and still fairly easy on Normal. STOP
In comparison to the other games on the same difficulty. STOP
As a whole. STOP
Having a few harder spells on the Stage 6 boss does not equate it to being a harder game. STOP
-
Have you realized?
In order to bring you down, a sun has risen from Hell.
Now, how will you react?
I hope this ends up playing out as a Remilia vs Okuu sort of thing in a future game.

It just occured to me...if the heroines in SA (or at least Yukari/Suika) have functioning cell phones, that means there's a functioning cell tower somewhere in Gensokyo.
-
I'd actually mentioned this once before, wrt Yukari, Ran and Chen. Marisa says that Yukari can communicate with them by "talking into a little box" or something like that. This might mean a cell phone, but I don't think it necessarily means there needs to be a tower in Gensokyo. Gensokyo is a land-locked area within an already small country with numerous cell phone networks, many of which might quite possibly traverse the Hakurei Boundary. Yukari, in her forays into the outside world, probably got the cell phones there and signed up with a calling plan that uses one of these networks. Where she gets the money, and what form of identification she used to get the cell phones is a whole other matter, and one we'll never know. But logistically speaking, it wouldn't be impossible for her to pull off.
-
> Heck, Yukari could just be using gap-cellphones. That I know of, it was never stated that speaking through a gap was impossible, so she could have also just messed around with the cellphones to do that, open a lil' gap to talk through.
> I recently noticed that Yukari Card Declare pic in PCB shows 2+ hands coming out of the gap she is sitting on, but one of her hands is holding her parasol, and both of her hands have long gloves on, the hands from the gap don't have gloves on.
-
I'm gonna have to say no to gaphones. Yukari had rigged the yin-yang orbs and Marisa's options to serve for communicatory purposes, yet she still gave Suika a cell phone. It wouldn't make much sense for Hatate to have a phone either without regular cell service, either.

Well, it depends.
I think Necrofantasia is too much (insert adjective here) sometimes, but necrofantasy is like not as awesome. Necrofantasy seems somewhat hollow, necrofantasia seems somewhat really full.

Necrofantasia inspired this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8n-h7sIjvc), so it can't be all bad.
-
It's not bad, just overrated as fuck.
Anyways, this train is derailing and the conductor is nowhere to be seen.
-
> Sorry 'bout that. :P
My friend constantly said either "Touhou 12" or "Fantastic Object" when talking about, what else, Touhou 12. Over a month ago(I think), I looked up Touhou 12 as saw the full name was Undefined Fantastic Object, UFO, and had a bunch of UFO's in it. I laughed till I cried and kept laughing.
Extra: along with the above, at the same point I learned Touhou 12 had UFO as a short-form name, I learned that ZUN is a Goddamned, F***ing Genius!
-
It isn't really that hard to think up an acronym. Especially when the original is Unidentified Flying Object anyways.
Eh, I find Necrofantasia quite overrated, and a lot of the time it's screeching. Necrofantasy isn't as active as other EX-Boss themes, but it's still a very good theme that fits well.
-
Undefined Fantastic Object
It took me a good... four? months of playing this game regularly to realize that it was Undefined, as opposed to Unidentified.

Also: Lyrica has "PRISM" written in her keyboard in PoFV and in PCB she has "L.P" (Lyrica Prismriver)
-
Fantasy > Fantasia
Also, you know in a lot of RPG's you fight a scripted battle and you loose or get down to your last life point to end it.
but I realized that in Fairy Wars's Extra. You "lose" to Marisa after her final spellcard once you clear it.
ZUN is fucking genius drunk.

Those bullets with the lines of other bullets following them that Remilia shoots in EoSD were really supposed to be chains all along.
-

Not only do the spell cards have different names, but I remember at least one of the spell card comments in EoSD mentioning that the bullet trails were supposedly blood droplets.
:derp:
-
Necrofantasia >>>> Necrofantasy
Necrofantasy is too slow paced and dragged out. Necrofantasia is dynamic and has fantastic climaxes. One of the few songs that actually sound like they'd be fit for a final boss fight in an action game.
Necrofantasia has some of the best remixes out there too, while Necrofantasy is always a bit 'meh' in the remix department,
-
Can this thread be less about whether Necrofantasia is better than Necro Fantasy and vice versa, and more about "possible crazy stuff you didn't notice for ages"?
-
Not only do the spell cards have different names, but I remember at least one of the spell card comments in EoSD mentioning that the bullet trails were supposedly blood droplets.
:derp:
The chains are made of blood? :derp:
Besides, who says those aren't usable between more than one card?
-
In the grimoire of marisa it said that they were made of blood and that Remilia controlled it. Marisa put comments like "The blood looks so awesome" or something like that (I don't remember much)

Someone on the wiki pointed out that Letty wears white lipstick. One extreme closeup later and my mind was blown.

At least I'm nolonger assuming it must be called 'Unidentified flying object', because actually reading the title would be too hard :V

Saw that edited in earlier today. Mind = blown.
or her lips are just pale from cold temperatures

I didn't notice that there's a gap between her socks and the bottom of her pants.
-
Flandre's colors are mostly red, and pink.
Remilia's colors are mostly pink, and red.
Blue is the oppposite of yellow (hair).
Black/white is the...I dunno, but it's not multi-colored xD (wings).
Kay, I might be crazy, but I still see the same thing as with the Komeijis.
Dunno, maybe it's just me...

Me too O_O
Also: Lyrica has "PRISM" written in her keyboard in PoFV and in PCB she has "L.P" (Lyrica Prismriver)
do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si are the musical notation.
seven visible colors have rainbow, part of the light component (descomposed with a prism)
and if colors and sounds are waves who go to the air, then the keyboard of Lyrica is like a PRISM but for sounds. im fooling again XD.
-
Kay, I might be crazy, but I still see the same thing as with the Komeijis.

Satori and Koishi actually have reverse color schemes. If you put them through a negative filter they get their sister's color scheme.
I'm pretty sure there was a nice pic of it in one of the addiction threads...

Umm, do re mi fa sol la si is just our musical scale (and it also ends with "do"). Though, what you said is not crazy at all. It actually makes me think a lot... Ungh *head explodes*
-
Durrrrrrr but her 'prism' is generating the sounds, not merely reflecting it.
Besides, do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-(do, but that goes into the next octave) only applies to certain methods of tuning, and isn't even the 'proper' scale (because there really is no proper scale). The proper scale could have 53 keys, 12 keys, 36 keys, 5 keys...
And light-wise there aren't just seven colours - those are just the main blocks of colours inside the rainbow. There are an infinite amount of possible colours (applying to the infinite amounts of possible wavelengths), right...?
Personally though, I think it's just because she's a Prismriver :P

This is Touhoumon related, but.
I was contemplating, after reading that Version 1.8 (apparently) doesn't have any gimmick 'costumes,' like XMystia.
For whatever reason, I got stopped mid-thought, and only thought 'XMys-'. Then it hit me and is probably a coincidence.
Say it aloud, it sounds somewhat like Xmas.
:o

I noticed that there's a part in Necro-Fantasy that sounds just like Necrofantasia. :V

You can still hear some similarities if you listen closely, but it really is quite different.

A...Are people still on this? I didn't think I'd cause this bad of a topic derailing. I apologize. :ohdear:

It says that in the comments, but if you don't have a translated version, that could be a problem. It's like that so you don't accidentally reveal spoilers (either from the song itself or from the comments), but can still listen to the song if you want. For example, if you can't get far enough in the extra stage to hear the boss song.
-
Okuu having a bird form (like how Orin has a cat form) is canon.
Didn't know until I looked at Double Spoiler's sprites a few seconds ago.
-
I noticed that in Okuu's spellcard background in both SA and DS several things are depicted in the 'wings' of the nuclear warning symbol. Behind the symbol you see the vast expanse of starry space, in the center of the symbol is a blazing star, one wing depicts a galaxy, another depicts some kind of strange black bars and the final one depicts.....a realistic photo of a red cat's head....
What.
-
Yuyuko's second theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFb7xCaYaMc) is the only one with a guitar solo, I think.
-
a realistic photo of a red cat's head....
What.
I think the cat's head is a reference to Chernobyl and the areas around it, which is heavily populated by cats.
Or maybe ZUN just wanted a kitty.

-

Or Okuu likes Orin so much she put a picture of her in cat form in her spellcard bg.
-
Is it just me, or do you pretty much always get a border at the beginning of PCB stage 4? At least, on Normal difficulty.
Could this be intentional? You're in a vortex that supposedly carries you to the Netherworld, so it wouldn't be surprising to go into the Border of Life and Death...
EDIT: Upon looking at a few replays, border seems relatively avoidable, but it still happens a lot for me.
-
You likely get borders at around the same time every play if you use the same strategy/have none. You just notice the one at the beginning of Stage 4 because it's... the beginning.

Gensokyo's physical location. I don't know how I missed this, but Youkai Mountain (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Youkai_Mountain) is "revealed by chapter four of Cage in Lunatic Runagate to be the Yatsugatake mountain range (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yatsugatake) from the distant past". The range is on the border of Nagano (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagano_Prefecture) and Yamanashi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamanashi_Prefecture) prefectures. Granted, it could be argued that Gensokyo doesn't exist in this universe, and the Hakurei Border is some interdimensional portal or what have you, but still. Looks pretty, too.

Huh, though I remember reading somewhere else, that Gensokyo is located in Nagano, at least, supposed to be. Though I forgot it 'till you mentioned as I was looking for that specific text I know it from.
Edit: OF course! Suwa lake and Suwa Taisha is there too! (And if I remember right, ZUN is from the area too.)

FUUUUUUUUUU-----------------
I had this in my head as I finished all the stages (minus extra) on POFV but... One of the songs on the game sound like the intro for "The Pinky in the Brain" at a certain part of the song... but since the day before I had forgotten TT^TT and no matter how hard a try I can't remember.
Touhou is such a stress reliever which also causes annoyance DX

Four of a kind is Flandre's fourth spellcard |3

Touhou 6 - Flandre: U.N. Owen was Her?
Touhou 12 - Nue: Heian Alien

Something about U.N Owen and Heian Alien.

Some hear the similarity; others don't. Film at 11.

There's a similarity between Luna Child, Sunny Milk, Star Sapphire, Lyrica, Merlin and Lunasa.
Luna C x Lunasa (Both are represented by a moon)
Sunny M x Merlin (Both are represented by a sun)
Star S x Lyrica (Both are represented by a star)
And all of them constitutes trios.

Lyrica's represented by a star? Huh, I did not know this...

Early Edit: If you say Mystic Square was the first, I count them as toothpaste/cheeto lasers; completely different.

That's what I thought/I'm just about to go look for those 'cheeto' lasers just for the nickname...
Also, more proving how 'smart' I am! :V
I just now, after having played it for a good... two? months, got Letty's Ice/Rock type in Touhoumon games.
Whiterock.

Also, the Black Rock Shooter crossovers follow the same idea.

I still think she should've been Ice/Metal.. I mean, seriously? "Crystallized SILVER" (her theme song) , and she also wears that crow-feet-emblem-thing that represents either silver or something else (forgot =.=)
Well, since I'm posting here I might as well contribute...
..um, I got nothing :V

I just noticed that in stage 4 of SA, ZUN tried to sync up the gameplay with music after 2nd appearance of Orin by varying the number of the green flying orbs. Now I always try to drag out the fight with Orin as long as I can, since those green orbs are annoying when the fairies with purple amulets appear.
I was wondering if there is any other places where syncing also happened.

Yes, afaik on most midbosses, actually. For example, the length of the difficult waterfal part directly after Momozi depends on how long it takes you to take her out.
-
PCB stage 4, Lily White trolls you to the rhythm of the music
-
This is a cause-effect mixup. ZUN syncs many portions of the games to his songs. Since the time taken to beat the midboss is variable, the section immediately afterwards has to be adjusted to keep the game in sync with the music.

Ok, learning psychology now, so you already know who I'm gonna talk about.
There was that guy called John B. Watson. He was specialised in behaviour things. He also made that crazy experiment called Little Albert.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Albert_experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Albert_experiment)
I said to a friend, ZUN should have named Koishi's theme Watson's Youkai Boy instead of Hartmann's Youkai Girl but then it suddenly hit me...
Koishi means Little Rock. The experiment was Little Albert.
Let's make it an interesting coincident, but I just noticed that.
-
Hartmann worked on/founded ego psychology, which is Koishi's thing.
Take a gander at the primary ego functions, cited from wiki.
Reality Testing: The ego?s capacity to distinguish what is occurring in one?s own mind from what is occurring in the external world. It is perhaps the single most important ego function because it is necessary for negotiating with the outside world. One must be able to perceive and understand stimuli accurately. Reality testing is often subject to temporary, mild distortion or deterioration under stressful conditions. Such impairment can result in temporary delusions and hallucination and is generally selective, clustering along specific, psychodynamic lines. Chronic deficiencies suggest either psychotic or organic interference.
Impulse Control: The ability to manage aggressive and/or libidinal wishes without immediate discharge through behavior or symptoms. Problems with impulse control are common; for example: road rage; sexual promiscuity; excessive drug and alcohol use; and binge eating.
Affect Regulation: The ability to modulate feelings without being overwhelmed.
Judgment: The capacity to act responsibly. This process includes identifying possible courses of action, anticipating and evaluating likely consequences, and making decisions as to what is appropriate in certain circumstances.
Object Relations: The capacity for mutually satisfying relationship. The individual can perceive himself and others as whole objects with three dimensional qualities.
Thought Processes: The ability to have logical, coherent, and abstract thoughts. In stressful situations, thought processes can become disorganized. The presence of chronic or severe problems in conceptual thinking is frequently associated with schizophrenia and manic episodes.
Defensive Functioning: A defense is an unconscious attempt to protect the individual from some powerful identity-threatening feeling.
Yeah.

Koishi's ability is to read a person's subconscious.
Koishi's spellcards are all based on psychology, many of which are based on Freudian theories (Id, Super-Ego, etc.)
Many people interpret Koishi's heart bullets as, well, you know.
One of Freud's other theories is Penis Envy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_envy).
Gensokyo is largely all female.

Marisa. Black/white witch. Not overly colorful, yeah?
I just realized (thanks Mary!) that she has (to my knowledge) the most colorful spellcards ever. And her 'partner of choice,' if you will, is Alice. The seven-colored puppeteer.
Huh.

I can't really remember but isn't marisas nonspells more colourful? well except stardust reviere which is a flippin' rainbow

Koishi's ability is to read a person's subconscious.
Koishi's spellcards are all based on psychology, many of which are based on Freudian theories (Id, Super-Ego, etc.)
Many people interpret Koishi's heart bullets as, well, you know.
One of Freud's other theories is Penis Envy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_envy).

Well. Spells. Nonspells. Danmaku in general, really. Nice contrast from her outfit's color scheme.

Yeah true.
It took me quite a while to notice that Reimu was bombarding me with Yin Yang orbs in IN stage 4, in the beginning I only used phantom solo chars and after that it took a while before I was unfocused long enough to notice :derp:
-
Nitori's backpack has no shoulder straps. :o
It's possible that the crossing bands + key are what attach the backpack to her back. Still.
-
Be that as it may, the purpose of that key she wears is still ~a mystery~.
-
Be that as it may, the purpose of that key she wears is still ~a mystery~.
That key is to open marisa's house so she can search/disarm all the stuff in there, duh. Why do you think she partnered up with her? xD

But she had it before she met Marisa. ... does this mean she's some kind'a stalker? :ohdear:
-
*deadpan* It's the key to the Locked Girl.

I've noticed that in Imperishable Night, there are five little transparent boxes that orbit around bosses. I'm not exactly sure what these are supposed to represent, but in Kaguya's case, they could be interpreted as the five items from her Impossible Requests. :V
I came up with this thought cuz the first time I noticed this was when I was watching a replay of Hourai Elixir, and when I saw the objects orbiting around Kaguya, I thought "Could those be the Impossible Request items???"
But then, of course, what are all the other boss characters doing with them? :derp:
(The answer: Everyone Stole the Precious Impossible Request Things)
-
Totally out-there guess, but maybe it's the bosses' (slaves/servants/familiars/whatever they're called) that go 'away' when you focus?
-
I just now noticed that Sakuya's defeat portrait in EoSD holds blood-stained knives.... (http://www.spriters-resource.com/pc_computer/touhou6/sheet/33547)
-

Not exactly. These things are separate from the boss's familiars. Anyway, I still have no idea. I was just tossing a random thought out there. :3
-
You can actually see one of Ran's ears in her defeated portrait. It makes me wonder what other things are hidden when you defeat everyone else...
Also, the things orbiting around the bosses are just an effect like the spell circle. No real purpose except looking cool.
-

Talking about this, have you seen how danmaku isn't supposed to hurt but when you defeat someone their portrait has their clothes somewhat ripped and a few injuries?
-
From what I understand, danmaku is basically like paintball - it still really sucks when you get hit, but it's not going to kill as long as both sides follow the rules. But it's all open to interpretation anyway, and we shouldn't let the topic get derailed over whether danmaku hurts or not.
-
danmaku DOES hurt them, but not as much as we think and characters use a lot of energy in their spells than we do in our normal shots :P
-
Speaking of danmaku's nonlethality...
How in hell does Mokou literally DIE whenever you clear any one of her spell cards? Danmaku and Spell Card Rules were created to overcome this, weren't they?
-

Rule of Cool, I guess? I mean, she does die and resurrect spectacularly every time you clear a spell card. :V With most bosses, you only get to see a spectacular explosion like that at the very end of the battle. :D
-

Maybe she's really fucking weak and dies to danmaku. :V
-
Or, maybe she would normally be just a very weak human with the ability to create fire, but with her resurrections, she can overexert herself to death multiple times to become Extra mode powerful.
-
Reimu, at least, specifically says she's going all-out because it's "okay" since Mokou is immortal.
-
Mokou stops fighting because of pain, right? But technically, the pain should vanish everytime she resurrects into a new body.
-
Pain still sucks, even if it goes away a few minutes later. Put yourself in her shoes for a bit - if you met someone and they just kept killing you no matter how many times you resurrected, you'd eventually just give up too.
Also, I just noticed how lazy ZUN is with spell card backgrounds, especially early on. Patchy's in EoSD is just a 256x256 scrolling stained-glass window texture that doesn't even wrap properly.

Taaaaalking about parsee...
This is just a coincidence, or some of the stupid stuff I say.
Her name shouldn't be pronounced like "parusu"...?
...
Paruparuparuparuparuparuparuparuparuparuparuparu...xD
EDIT: wait, that's the reason of the video? I'm sure I saw somewhere in danbooru that it meant something like jealousy or I dunno... It was really long ago >.<
-
パルスィ. pa ru si.
Although the paruparu is a shortening for the sound of something giving off a heavy wave, literally pulse (パルス). Parsee gives off waves of envy. It's a pun, in other words. You won't find it used anywhere besides Touhou, however, since it's a fanmade onomatopoeia.

Someone's probably said this already, but I just noticed that there's a shadow of the ship at the very beginning of stage 1 on UFO.
I've played this game numerous times, and I didn't notice at all until my sister was watching me play today and she pointed it out.
-
Yes, I pointed it out once.
Also, with a friend we got to the conclusion that in stage 2 you are gettin' behind it (because the player knows that she won't be able to reach it).
-
She wanted to show off her rezing or it dying makes her stronger
either way... she liked to use amulets alot :P

Is it just me, or does ZUN parallel Castlevania...
I swear, I can't unhear Touhou when those songs appear...
And I know there's a similarity thread, but I feel uncomfortable bumping it up right now.
-
Regarding Byakuren's mysterious gradient hair, I now realize/think that the brown hair was part of her regular human hair, and the purple hair is her new youkai hair that slowly grew out after she became immortal. She just never bothered to cut off the old brown part.
-
She has the purple hair in her sprite even when she puts the scroll away (while moving), sorry to spoil your fun.
-
I think Paper_Conan's point is that she has gradient hair because all the purple kunai get stuck in it when she dissolves them right above her. Quite an interesting theory.
-
Three reasons fans use to explain things:
-Yukari is fooling around again.
-Eirin's shady new drug.
-Moriya Shrine conspoiracy.
Those three reasons involve Yukari, Eirin, and Kanako.
Who fans also consider the three "old hags."
Coincidence?
-
What about our lovely Innocent Ghost, White Rabbit of Good Fortune, and (insert Byakuren's theme because I can't remember it atm)?

They don't have the "Ya" kanji in their names, they break the harmony. :V

Yes, it's ZUN's fault that those three were deduced by the fan(s) to be the most likely to have caused an event.

I like this theory. It explains why the gradient effect is there even when she doesn't have the scroll out, for one, but is also a nice artistic representation of her transformation from ordinary monk to unaging youkai.

They're both just bullets at random angles at random speeds. I think he just ran out of ideas and wanted something difficult to beat that wouldn't be hard to program.

I thought about mentioning that, but I couldn't think of any other spellcards that also did the "random highspeed barrage" bit.
Unless you count that one card Kanako has in MoF's extra stage where she shoots a random spray of lines of bullets.
-

As long as we're on the subject of songs with similar passages (not that that's the subject of the thread), the beginning of Blade of Banishment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI6wZMv6h-g) sounds somewhat similar to the beginning of Oriental Memory of Foregathering Dream.

Most of the color in Meiling's portraits isn't green. It's mostly comprised of dark shades of yellow.

Murasa Minamitsu, 5-8, Double Spoiler. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDZqlL7bVLc&t=1m40s)

The Doll Maker of Bucuresti (Bucharest?) and Doll Judgment complement each other perfectly.
Seriously, listen to them VERY CLOSELY, at the same time. Something like Dream of Winds was for Thor in DJ Max, as in parts where one song has percussion, the other doesn't, etc.
-
Bucaresti and Doll Judgment are in the same key (they might not be, but they seem to be from running the songs through in my head).
Flowering Night is undoubtedly influenced by Luna Dial on purpose, but isn't quite! the same melody. Luna Dial is also in some fucked up key that I can't tell immediately.

In the fighting games, everyone in the Yakumo family has a attack that spins like crazy.
Too bad Yukari in Perfect Cherry Blossom doesn't spin around.
Nitori gained a attack sprite in Double Spoiler which wasn't in Mountain of Faith.
国士無双 from Reisen's Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Spellcard Grand Patriot's Elixir is also a Mahjong term.
Shikigami "Chen "(式神「橙」), Cat Monster "Chen"(化猫「橙」), "Resurrection Butterflies"(「反魂蝶」) , and "Yuugyou Hijiri"(「遊行聖」)is tied for the shortest Spell Card names
and this fact can be used to explain the Cheeen meme

During certain story modes in PoFV where you go up against Yuuka, the stage background starts off with sunflowers, but then transitions into a plain orangy-pinkish screen, and finally back to the sunflowers.
I guess by now "ZUN brings back bits and pieces of PC-98 in his Windows games now and then" isn't a startling discovery, but this really made my day when I noticed it.
While it isn't too much of a new discovery, there are many slight coincidences that make some people wonder, and then there are those subtle (http://i55.tinypic.com/ny8plf.png) coincidences (http://media.photobucket.com/image/comparison%20shinki%20byakuren/momijitsukuyomi/hizirithethief.jpg) that you can barely catch :V

I'm assuming that the 12.3th is just a simple grammatical error. They probably thought 12th is good, so stick a three in there and it's all good. Obviously they weren't well informed with english.

Despite not having any on-screen (or on-paper) dialogue (not including the anecdote from Curiosities of Lotus Asia), Lily White has had a surprisingly large number of appearances, appearing as a midboss in Perfect Cherry Blossom, a recurring enemy in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, a mid-boss once more in Fairy Wars and having an entire chapter of Strange and Bright Nature Deity devoted to her existence. Her number of appearances actually surpasses several characters who actually do have dialogue and/or playable appearances, such as Wriggle, Rumia, Mystia and even the highly popular ex boss Flandre Scarlet. Pretty impressive for a character who is only supposed to appear one out of four seasons. I was pretty surprised when I realized this.

Actually, it goes from 90 degrees straight to 180 degrees, then back to 0. Then again, that counts as rotating anyways so yeah.
Every boss character (aside from Parsee) in SA has 3 syllables in their name.

The third part of th08's stage 3 theme (before midboss Keine) and the second part of th10's stage 5 boss theme are strikingly similar.

It's not exactly the same, but it leaves room for confusion.

Her last name is harder to remember than Mizuhashi.

But it's still close enough for "Citizen Keine" to make sense, right?

Someone pointed out to me that the menu themes in practically all of the Windows shooters have virtually the same motif. It's just that in each game, there's a different variation on it. :o

I know what you mean.
It's supposed to be Kami-shira-sawa, I think. I gotta go check again.
The title screen was originally intended to have a picture of some window for the SDM instead of Reimu.

Something about colors.
Chen's th095 6-1 grey amulets give you the 'Orange Shot +300' bonus
Chen, 'Red Oni Blue Oni', Ran, 'Protection of Zenki and Goki', and Yukari make the colors of the rainbow.(From http://www.toho-motoneta.net/)
Blue and Red is the most used color in all the games, and only few don't have a spellcard which consists of only blue and/or red.
Yuyuko Saigyouji, Wriggle Nightbug, Medicine Melancholy, Komachi Onozuka, Momiji Inubashiri, Suwako Moriya, Yamame Kurodani, Ichirin Kumoi.

Oh my gosh! I never noticed that before. :o
But yeah, from touhou wiki, it says this:
In her official portrait, Minoriko's right foot is drawn like a left foot. It's supposed that ZUN likened her to a Japanese one-legged scarecrow which guards farms. The Japanese term for scarecrow, "kakashi", came from "kagashi", which means "smeller". This may explain why Minoriko talks about her smell in Reimu's scenario.
-
Sanae actually.
No it's not xD
-
That's obviously Mima.
MAYBE ZUN WILL BRING BACK MIMA FOR TH13!!!1!!!11!!
I find it funny, in a messed up way, that ZUN somehow acknowledges that the first Touhou games actually existed. I always believed he suffered from major amnesia or something~
-
No it's not xD
Yes it is. That's totally Sanae. I even compared the two in game and they are indeed using the same color pallets. Btw, Sakuya is the same.

If it was Mima it would have some yellow in there.

I just realized that if Alice's theories about the correlation between a person's power level and the colors they wear, then Cirno'd truly be strong. She wears blue and all, y'know. And Reimu'd suck.
...Alice sucks at detecting power levels. Vegeta, give the poor girl a scouter. :V

I thought Alice's interpretation of color=power was less about wavelength (like the Yakumo family) and more about the number of colors worn.
At least, that's how it always seemed to me.
-
Directly from Touhou Wiki:
Being known as the "Seven-Colored Puppeteer" or "Rainbow Puppeteer", Alice apparently believes in a correlation between color and power level. During her dialogue with Reimu, she asserts Reimu's powers are only equal to 28.5714% (or 2/7) of her own powers, due to Reimu's outfit only consisting of two colors. This appears to be a recurring theme in Perfect Cherry Blossom, as Yukari, Ran and Chen are all named after colors and have relative power levels equivalent to their colors' place on the visual spectrum.

The hair accessories on Sanae are meant to represent the two goddesses of ther shrine she gathers faith for... I can't believe it took me this long to catch that, ugh.
Obviously frog=Suwako and snake=Kanako. (Kanako...DOES represent a snake, right?)

24, one for each of the 6 routes on each difficulty

Does that mean you can then save one type of replay for each route on each rank? DId I even phrase that right?

ZUN's consecutive hits on "maid" concept beginning from:

TH04 (1997) - Mugetsu in Maid Uniform (why?)
TH05 (1998) - Yumeko as Maid
SH01 (2000) - VIVIT as Maid
SH02 (2001) - Again, VIVIT as Maid
TH06 (2002) - Izayoi Sakuya as Maid
And basically something like that.
If you want Izayoi Sakuya as Maid appearance in TH07, 7.5 08, 09, as consecutive hits, it extends far more than the list above.

The Three Fairies must have a foreign origin. How can they all have English names and only use Spell Cards with English names?

Because Gensokyo = Illusion = Dream, where, even with all this fighting going on, nothing bad will happen in the long run.
And the credits -> high score screen loading text usually reads "Next Dream" as well.

Not EoSD and PCB if memory serves me. I forget what EoSD says since it's been a while since I played that one, but I know PCB says Next Phantasm, I think.

Doesn't IN say "Next Night"?

Hence why he said "usually", not "always". There are variations, but "Next Dream" is the default.

Actually, if you, on SWR, save a replay of when those themes are played one after another, they well meld together when the stage advances. (I know playing as Patchouli can make that happen. Stages 2 and 3 will meld)
So basically, the song after the first won't start at the beginning, but continue where the previous left off. Kinda cool.

Too many people mix this thread up with the "You Know You're Addicted to Touhou When" thread.

Might just be odd speculation but... nearly all final bosses appear to be Tarot cards....
Mima=Star
Yuuka=Strength
Shinki=Devil
Remilia's Fate powers=Wheel of Fortune
Yuyuko=Death
Kaguya=Moon
Shikieiki=Judgement
Kanako=Tower
Utsuho=Sun
Byakuren=uhh...High Priestess?
And for some reason I pronounce Tenshi's last name as "Hinanai", not "Hinanawi"(Proper Spelling) even though I pronounce Tewi as Tewi.
-
Except saying "Hinanai" is essentially the same thing as saying "Hinanawi". Same with "Tewi" and "Tei".

Kogasa's umbrella has (wears?) a geta.

Actually, if you, on SWR, save a replay of when those themes are played one after another, they well meld together when the stage advances. (I know playing as Patchouli can make that happen. Stages 2 and 3 will meld)
So basically, the song after the first won't start at the beginning, but continue where the previous left off. Kinda cool.
Ok, since you've been waiting this long, I've got up the replay on youtube so you can see the music meld on stages 2 to 3 here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0MUIYw1NLo). Pretty neat.

well, StB/DS are basically all spell practice, and PoXX have an entirely different stage structure, so I can see why those are excluded. But aside from the freezing gimmick (and length), GFW is just the same as any of the main games.

Mind is officially blown.
Makes me wonder if anyone ever drew Cirno that way or if everyone only ever used her PoFV+ look.
Another thing of note is that Cirno is commonly depicted as walking on barefeet, despite the fact that in every piece of in-game art she's wearing socks. Even in Perfect Memento she's wearing socks. Only GFW has barefeet Cirno, and that game was released way after Cirno has been commonly depicted that way.

As mentioned in the little known bugs thread, level 1+ of Patchy's default 236 fireball's fire trails deal damage, albeit, not that much.
In Ten Desires, each characters' trance shot resembles a previous shot type or bomb they had, with the exception of Youmu, who's slashes are similar to her level one charge from PoFV.
Speaking of Ten Desires, Kyoko's power is to reflect soundwaves, but with the way it looks in game, it feels more like she has the power to manipulate borders.
Again, with the exception of Youmu (and this one is possibly wrong, since I can't read Japanese), the girls' bombs in TD are all spellcards they had in Hisoutensoku. Or, unless I'm wrong and Sanae isn't using Forbidden Ritual.
Alice has her own shot underneath Shanghai's laser in IN. Not sure if this was already mentioned.

They are actually more powerful versions of their focused shots. Maybe except for Marisa. I can't be too sure.

I didn't realize that, when facing Mokou's spellcards, the dizzying blue background is a backdrop to her portrait on the right (if you can see past the danmaku).
Not so creepy, but I dropped a brick when I saw that on the left was a close-up of her face down to her shoulders.

It's on purpose, and shouldn't be too hard to see. The extra bosses have a tendency to show themselves in their background in some way. Kind of like an Easter egg from ZUN. :3

Just take the opportunity to stare at the entire screen (in a replay of course) during Mountain of Faith/Divine Virtue of Wind God--Looks like you really are in a rave, with Kanako's colored "spotlights" dancing all over the screen. Quite fitting, given how much moving you have to do during that spell. xD

Actually yes. Extra is considered stage 7 to the game. I've peeked at the .dat's before for EoSD and it does register to it as 7. Not sure about phantasm in PCB though, but it probably is 8. (unless it's 7b or something along those lines)

When looking at th07's graphics, it labels Phantasm as Stage 8, so right.

See IN stage scripts. She does like to eat, and it's canon that she appears to have eaten Mystia in the game as well, but... Saying she's this much of a glutton, I think that's going too far... Then again, the Touhou fandom throws everything WAY out of proportion anyway. Just look at Meiling and you would understand...

Oh believe me. I know. Compared to her, at least FandomYuyuko is based on canon. As for FandomMeiling it seems canon is just ignored.

Which is why I said excluding it, since it kinda ruins what I said.
And I've haven't played PCB yet, so I didn't even know that there was a Phantasm stage. :ohdear:

Well, don't worry, cause it's the only phantasm as of yet.

With the possible exception of ESoD, up until Ten Desires beta, Marisa's Master Spark has never been the strongest bomb, despite the fact that it's well, basically known for being a massive beam of sheer destructionness. It has, however consistently been one of the strongest bombs in the games it has been featured in.

Yuyuko's kimono has different patterns in th07, th08, th13, and the fighting games.

"The Witch's Ball~Magus" was first from Seihou as Marisa's EX-boss theme.

In PoFV, Youmu's enemy attack (the attack that's not a boss attack, but the level before it) is called Lost Sign "Sword of Earthly Desires". Ironically, she's a playable character in Ten Desires.

Other than glaring things like Sanae's sea split cards -> Alice's lava phase and Byakuren's "Devil's Recitation" -> Shinki's penultimate attack phase, I've no idea what other internal homages there are in Touhou... does anyone have a list?

I just noticed that in her fighting game portraits, Alice wears rings, and attached to those rings are the strings to control her dolls. :o

Hmm, but in Japanese, 8 meant "a lot" while 9 meant "infinite".

Fine, have it your way. >_> (even though Perfect Freeze in GFW is technically a bomb if you think about it)

Ice barrier isn't a bomb.
Aya and Hatate still need a few seconds between photos, but the time between freezing can be hilariously fast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsR6JYjIaAA).
So, Cirno is the only player character who can readily and infinitely stop bullets at nearly any given time (barring Youmu's slashes in PoFV).

I realized something funny. While other playable characters have a life system, Cirno has "Motivation". This could be a bit of fridge logic pointing to the fact that fairies have a different view of death and therefore, are more reckless. But it'd also mean that the reason for Cirno to get a technical "game over", is because she doesn't feel like going on, whereas for everyone else, it could be fatigue.

Not exactly a different view of death. She can't die, and just lets her regeneration kick in. But nonetheless it bothers her to be hit like that, and if her motivation falls under 0, she just sort of gives up. (probably would throw a fit, too but I don't know about that)

It actually is a different view of death. You said it yourself; they can regenerate when they die. So they don't fear it or worry about it as much as the humans do.

Yep! That's how they work. Though some spells in StB probably go into a mode harder than lunatic, since StB is an exceptionally difficult game. Even harder when you can't switch the orientation of the camera. Everything is always in landscape, no profile shots.

Especially Reimu. I guess you could take her death sequence as if she's trying to stay alive by giving you a longer death-bomb period and any other character.

How about the Prismrivers? They could very well have had their own stage entirely for themselves.

Ran is an excellent buffer, but is also surprisingly good at being an offensive player herself, due to her good magic, good bulk, and good formulas on everything
It makes sense :o
But then how come Alice/Marisa don't work for Remilia? Well, Marisa is fanon friendly with Flan.

Alice is a Youkai magician, while Marisa is a human magician cosplaying as a witch. :V
-
IIRC, Patchy is also a Youkai magician. Unless Alice doesn't count since she BECAME one and Patchy was born one or something like that.
-
Alice still counts. It's just different in some unknown way, cause she had to work for it.

When a spell card is declared in ufo, the little text that says 'spellcard attack', the text that says this goes in a crazy swirl at the bottom right corner of the screen. It might be best to watch a vid and see for yourself since i cant really explain it :V It's pretty useless info but wutev.

Check around 2:15 and watch the words spin.

I see it prob would be in that game but i haven't played mof in so long. Yeah it'd be pretty hard to notice seeing as the bottom right corner is the last place you would look while preparing for the bullets to come down.

I'm sure most people who have looked into Gengetsu have heard ZUN call her "the most terrible, most fearful boss" (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lotus_Land_Story/Music) by now.
The epic "Youkai" like Taisui Xingjun that Meiling had to run away from in her dream in 12.3? When you leave it untranslated, the adjetives she uses match those ZUN used when talking about Gengetsu over a decade before then in the LLS music room.

Well, you do encounter Gengetsu in a dream world, I think. And Meiling saw the catfish in her dream.
I wonder how you could see Gengetsu as a catfish in your mind's eye. Or maybe that's her true form? *shot*
-
...I am really, really blind. I don't see this =/
you see the small text that says "spell card attack" right? It shows up right when the spell is declared. Well in the bottom right corner there are more than one "spellcard attack" spinning in like a circle. Normally it goes diagonally but you might notice a blank circle without the text in the bottom right. If you look to the edge you should see it. Pausing the vid might help.

The memories. Thanks, for reminding me of Andross brain raping me. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSPsbXtCbGc#t=1m21s)
I just realized... speedkilling certain enemies in the Ten Desires trial makes other enemies appear that wouldn't appear normally. More specifically, the big fairies at the end of stage 2, or Kogasa in her midboss appearance...

It must be another case of music syncing!!
-
Yeah, that sounds about right. If you go through things too fast, more things spawn to keep you busy. If you go too slowly, some enemies and maybe even a non spell gets skipped.
-
Nono, it's always been that way (since MoF for sure). Any time there are enemies on the screen (mainly midbosses) that impede more enemies from coming in, the enemies afterwards are omitted to keep in sync with the music. In many instances it's more profitable to speedkill the enemies since the extra enemies usually drop tons of points.

Cirno did this when she popped up in PCB Stage 1, if I'm not mistaken. Plow through her quickly, and ZUN sends more Kedama and regular fairies at you.

Off the top of my head: EoSD stage 2 midboss, not sure about stage 3 midboss meiling but I think so, stage 4 midboss, stage 5 midboss sakuya.
Can't think of anymore right now.

MoF Stage 1 Midboss would like to have a talk with you.

MoF was already mentioned.
Orin has both human ears and cat ears. I didn't know that until I read it on TVtropes, and uh yeah.
Maybe she has a cat hairband?

Marisa's focused shot "Magic Missile" in th13 has the same sprite pattern as MarisaC's support shot "Air Torpedo" in th11.
Speaking of extra enemies, th12 extra stage's first two big fairies with UFOs do this too.
-
Evil Sealing Circle has never been represented as a circle outside of IN where it was arguably a circular path when you watch the amulets fly.
Aya is portrayed as one of the fastest beings in Gensokyo, but outside of Illusionary Dominance/Peerless Wind God, there's a lot of characters who are faster. For example, in Hisoutensoku, Youmu has a faster dash, airdash, and arguably is just as fast in her runpasts. Similarly, I don't think even with PWG, Aya cannot keep up with Youmu if she uses 200 Yojana in one Slash.

Proof that Cirno is actually a genius.
Cirno isn't really dumb to be honest. She's still technically a kid and while she's not a genius, she's not that stupid either. Just reckless and silly. I mean, heck, she's smarter than the other fairy characters we've seen thus far. And yes, that includes Sunny, Luna and Star. Seriously, they destroy her house then have the gall to ask her to join them. Idiots!

This. Finally another who thinks the same way. If anything though Marisa's almost the same way.
-

I agree about Cirno, she's not an idiot. Fairies in general tend to be less intelligent, but probably not to such a ridiculous degree.
I have to say though that I don't agree about Marisa. She's very intelligent, much moreso than Cirno. So much so that... In a world where the best magicians don't have to deal with human lifespans and tend to be much more talented than she is, she's able to compete with them easily just because of all the effort she's put into it.
It's just that she doesn't show that side that often. She doesn't like to let people know that she's put so much effort into her spells, and she tends to have a carefree/curious/silly attitude about most things, so it's easy to forget.
If anything though, you could say there isn't a single character in Touhou that's truly stupid. The weaker ones tend to be much more childish, but I don't think that's the same as being stupid.
-
Fairies can get pretty stupid, even if they're crafty at times.

Yoshika would like to have a word with you.
Then again, she could be excused because her brain is rotting...

@Neko: ...Well, that's true, but... I mean, a character who has a properly functional brain.
@Drake: And yeah, fairies can get really stupid, but isn't that mostly just childishness? Hm.

Yoshika would like to have a word with you.
C'mon, she practically reeks of wit!

That, and since death is literally a slap on the wrist for them, it could affect their judgment.

It seems there's a seventh track in DS's OST. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atf55j1zxHk)

Yeah, you can see/listen to this in Music Room Interface as well. Apparently it was meant to play when you unlocked Hatate.
-
I can't believe I've never noticed that LLS credits borrowed a part of the S5 BGM melody.
-
Never took direct notice of it, but I was quite surprised when I realized that Patchouli's spellcard-portrait in the Extra Stage depicts her smiling, whereas she looks much less pleased in Stage 4.
All of a sudden there was warmth in my heart when I saw her smiling like that!

Found out that the firefly that falls in Wriggle's spell cards is in her artwork so it goes down like the rest of the art in a spell card.

Nope, they don't react to me. :ohdear: They just move as they normally would.

After I started getting into Danmakufu, I realized why I never saw lasers in image sprite rips from the games. Lasers are actually just stretched out bullets, with the exception of UFO lasers. Different laser types = different bullets.

Where is that? ??? It's mentioned nowhere that I can see that there's an intentional link.
-
My bad, guess it isn't there. but I remember ZUN mentioning something about retro or nostalgia when talking about Nuke.
-
Koishi is often portrayed as almost fanon-Flandre demented. Her ability to manipulate the unconscious means people cannot notice her. Being a youkai, she has likely lived a very, very long time.
So I guess you could say she's... Possibly-crazy stuff you didn't notice for ages!
Ba-dum-tsh

http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Miscellaneous_illustrations_by_ZUN#zun010.jpg
Apparently, ZUN has designed and drawn a few other characters, mostly shrine maidens. They remain nameless, but I'm surprised the fans never went anywhere with these characters.
-
And now the fans will think these are past Hakurei shrine maidens. :V
-
Even though this is obvious, I still want to bring up the fact that Rin is the only character in the series with four ears--her cat ears and the human ears. To my knowledge, all the other characters with animal ears lack human ears. Makes one wonder if Rin's case is intentional or a mistake...

Well, considering Minoriko having two left feet is apparently intentional, it wouldn't surprise me...

The girl in "Shinto Land Fantasy" kinda reminds me of Rin.

On the Touhou fighters, if you look at Remilia's in-game sprite animation, when she flaps her wings downward, she moves down as well, instead of lifting, which she does when she lifts her wings. o_O
-
Wings are an accessory in Gensokyo. Everyone can fly so it really doesn't matter which direction Remi's wings point :V
-
Haha, Newton's 3rd law.
It would give momentum when Remilia is trying to jump, though.
Keine's lasers were actually arrowhead bullets.

Letty and Merlin were the first if I'm not mistaken to use Curved Lasers, yet Shou is the one who is infamous for them.

Unless you count the cheeto lasers from Mystic Square. :V
Letty's are more like fog lasers, I think. They're kinda weird so... And Merlin's aren't terribly hard in the first place. (much)
Shou's are famous because THEY'RE FREAKIN ANNOYING! (and so are Byakuren's on her 3rd spell)

Clearly ZUN meant for there to be a Jiang-shi somewhere down the line.

Keine's lasers were actually arrowhead bullets.
Pretty much all lasers in the series, aside from the curvy UFO ones, are just stretched bullets with additive blending. It works like that in Danmakufu, too.

I have no idea if this has been said, but Stealing is bad, Byakuren. Why did you take one of Shinki's attacks?
Before Ten Desires, the symbol on Yuyuko's hitaikakushi looked like the Sega Dreamcast Logo. It changed for Ten Desires, however.
Nitori has a key on her chest. A certain Fan character (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Fan-made_characters/Mitori_Kawashiro) has a Lock on her chest. I wonder...

Oh. *facepalm* I didn't read that post very well. :colonveeplusalpha:
-
We all know Yukari can do whatever the fuck she wants due to border hax.
But since Mitori's powers are to absolutely forbid absolutely anything and everything, what would happen if Mitori decided to forbid Yukari from border haxing? Could Yukari bend the borders of truth and lies?
Although that's more of a fanon crazy question than anything.
Not sure if this has been stated, but danmaku was created to be nonlethal combat measures, so Reimu doesn't have to win by default. But Mokou dies to what should be the nonlethal barrage.
-
I believe it's stated in the dialogue that the protagonist goes at full power because there's no threat of death for Mokou anyway. Don't quote me on that, though.
-
"A human that can't die is interesting. I can use my full power without hesitation."
"Oh dear, have you been holding back?
"Um, no, not really." - Youmu and Yuyuko
"I don't quite get it. If she's the sort that can't die, I can go all-out on her, right? "
"More or less. Seems invincibility is her pride and joy. " - Reimu and Yukari
"Look, she's still alive. She really is invincible."
"I'm surprised, she seemed close to death several times. " - Yukari and Reimu

Something I haven't noticed before: Is it just me, or is there a blip in the music Voyage 1970 from IN when it gets to the looped part at the end? I was recording Hourai Elixir (hard) when I noticed it.

Yep! ZUN didn't quite set the loop-point at the right spot.
