Miscellaneous Questions 7 - To Misc or not to Misc
TresserT:
I also feel like the stage fairies popping up everywhere might not be canon...Spoiler: in HSiFS Okina and everyone seems pretty surprised the cirno, a simple fairy, could somehow make it to the world of back doors....
Despite the fact that stage ex has plenty of them, and stage 6 has one of its 2 enemy types be giant fairies.
Sagus:
Huh, you know, that IS a pretty big oversight on Zun's part, considering that he went through the trouble of not having fairies as enemies in the Moon Capital during stage 4 of LoLK.
Well, it's Zun we're talking about so :V
Clarste:
There's a difference between a fairy making it into the world of back doors, and fairies who were born there and never left. I mean, even Hell has its own native fairies, so there's no reason to believe fairies can't spontaneously pop into exist in an alternate dimension. Okina could've easily recognized Cirno as an outsider from the door on her back as well as Mai's report.
TresserT:
Ooooh true, I didn't consider that.
Shizzo:
Speaking of HSiFS plot points, I was thinking earlier: If it was Okina/Satono/Mai's doing that made people from Gensokyo get their power boosts (including, technically, the protagonists with their seasonal options), why'd they bother empowering Aya?
As a Tengu, and therefore an enemy of Okina, I can't see them giving her power on purpose. Did they just make it so _everyone_ would be empowered by the incident, or is there something I'm missing here?
