I think "bugs" on the bingo sheet refers to the programming kind of bugs.

Other than that, new 2hu get!

What kind of butterfly do you think she is? I wanna say monarch due to the pattern but I'm not sure...

I feel bad now that my own butterfly fc isn't as nice as this, she looks so cute~
A swallowtail.

specifically, seems to be the Asian swallowtail, a most common butterfly species in Japan.



Her skirt is based on cocoons, and the "antennae" on her head is actually an osmeterium, a defensive organ that scares away predators by spitting out a foul odor and looking like a snake's forked tongue.

Her pose and face remind me a lot of the that one fanmade boss created to celebrate a famous japanese singer's birthday

That being said, she's adorable and I love her smile ♥  Here's to hoping all bosses are this cute.

Time to make your bets while you can, everyone, which stage do you think she's the boss of?

Personally I think she's gonna be stage 1's since a -ton- of stage 1 bosses are animal-based.

Precious looking indeed, I like how even her sleeves look like butterflies, haha.  Here's hoping that she won't get forgotten like a certain blue moon bunny

Time to make your bets while you can, everyone, which stage do you think she's the boss of?
Money on stage 1, no way the latter stages bosses are gonna get spoiled, aren't they  :V ? ... not paying if I lose, tho

Don't ruin the cute plz

Actually iirc DDC's CD had Sekibanki, TD's had Kyouko and UFO's had Kogasa.  So hey, who knows!

So it's finally time ;)
And what a cutie that is  :3
ZUN's getting better with this, I love the way he based the design on a real-life animal.

[...]a defensive organ that scares away predators by spitting out a foul odor and looking like a snake's forked tongue.

And now all I can see in my head is her trying to scare the main characters away like a skunk ;)

D'awww, a wild new cutie 2hu appears!

Butterfly ---> Butterflies pollinate flowers ---> Yuuka has a new partner.


Well then, obligatory new 2hu name-guessing time! Mine is Utsukushii Chouko (Beautiful Butterfly Girl).
I know, that was completely unoriginal.  :3

Damnit I'm late again
IT'S HERE.
She's one cute little butterfly  :3
Chances are that she's the first boss, since her design and her pose look really light-hearted. I'm sure looking forward to her theme now :derp:

Now I'm thinking what name ZUN might've given her. Wriggle is the first insect character in Touhou and has a Western name. According to cuc's insight though, this new character probably has got an Asian/a Japanese name, since her species is likely from the East. Then again, Doremy is based on a Japanese mythological creature and has a Western name, so no one can know for sure what naming shenanigans ZUN's up to again.
Wild speculations ahoy!

Wriggle is a Genji firefly, which is also a signature species of Japan.

Doremi's name and appearance are actually a homage to Ptolemy, heroine of Taito's The Fairyland Story. In general, there's no definite pattern to the names.
Touhou Fantasy News: twitter

Predicts: That character will be a total a-grade asshole.

Also, people are going to accuse her of being a rip off of Wriggle and say that ZUN is running out of ideas. Calling it.

Oh, I see. It's interesting how ZUN gives Western (sounding) names to characters whose species are based on Japanese mythological or real life species. I wonder what kinda reason that might have. Also I didn't even hear about Doremy's name having that reference, thanks for the info  :3

I think that this character might get a pretty simple sounding name, as for most stage 1 bosses (given if she's one).

Predicts: That character will be a total a-grade asshole.

Woah hold your horses there. It's too early for that. We don't know anything about her aside her appearance and her being one of the first three bosses. Maybe it's her being an insect and having a haircut similar to Wriggle's, but that still doesn't mean anything. Let's see what the game will tell us about her. At least she doesn't look like a boy

She sort of is already for someone I've met.  He has a fear of butterflies and moths...

Mmm, no, sorry, DDC's demo disc had Sakuya. The other two are right though.

I'm very sure UFO's is Nazrin.

UFO trial had Nazrin on the CD. The full version has Kogasa.

So NicoNico has started a programme called "Touhou Station". It will be a "variety show" hosted by Beat Mario, and the first episode will be broadcast tomorrow at 5 PM JST. ZUN will be burning his HSiFS CD-R discs from the show room remotely from somewhere else, and Tasofro will probably show off the AoCF demo.
