Wild and Horned Hermit latest chapter discussion

Sophilia:
Spoiler: Suika herself is known to have lied a few times, so it's definitely not a hardcore standard.

That said? Kasen has been bad news for a while, since the lead-up to ULiL. She was eagerly waiting for the border to be breached, as if she had something to do with it. And as it turns out, she did, as soon after, she was revealed as one of Gensokyo's sages, and one siding with humanity over the other youkai at that. I can only imagine she Senzu Beaned Reimu for the sake of a fair fight, but absorbing her chaotic side probably hasn't changed the situation at hand; namely that Reimu's still stuck in hell even if she wins. At least until Tenshi shows up.

Raikaria:
Spoiler: I get the feeling Kasen was 'sealed' in the past, likly by a predecessor to Reimu, and Kasen was playing the long game to get her power back and revenge. Also; while Oni don't usually lie; Kasen's new title specifically calls her 'treacherous' so it's quite likely that Kasen is an exception.

Also; the timing of this reveal with the announcement of Touhou 17 I do not think is a co-incidence. One of Kasen's powers is some kind of empathy/control of animals. Touhou 17 happens to be based around hostile animal spirits from Hell. Which is apparently Kasen's home now.

Throw in the fact ZUN has outright said he considered making her the EX boss of TD but decided against it.

I think it's quite likly we're going to see 'True Kasen' as either the Stage 6 or EX boss of Touhou 17. There is far too much lining up.

--- Quote from: Suspicious person on April 18, 2019, 02:12:16 AM ---Spoiler: WaHH is mainly about the antics of the shrine trio (Reimu, Marisa, Kasen), so the introduction of something that rock that very foundation is quite frankly novel in terms of ZUN writing (which tries to stick to a status quo). Not quite sure about things are gonna progress from there, but I must say, it's more interesting than the usual parties and doomed-to-fail business ventures. There are probably ways for things to go back to how they used to be though, so let's just sit and wait.

The next chapter is the final chapter, so uh.

Spoiler: I'm still completely expecting this "betrayal" to be a red herring in some sense. She's probably getting Reimu riled up for a fight for some purpose and everything will be end up fine. She's been trying to get her arm back literally since the beginning of the series so her getting it back isn't exactly unexpected. How Reimu even got the thing is still a mystery.

Fragment:
Spoiler: Normally I don't get excited by Touhou manga of all things but wow, plot progression and character development, even if little, it was pretty cool to see something moving forwards in this. I am pretty sure though, like the ending of FS, is going to be rather underwhelming or the fight won't end on a satisfying note. However, I did enjoyed a battle that was very focused (instead of going with exposition during it), and on the point too.

Considering she is one of the 4 devas, I assume that the new game is going to have the 4th and final one in there? probably, as everything that is happening comes from hell And it would be nice to have a, y'know, youkai or demonic being as the antagonist rather than another goddess or ascended human

Tiamat:
If I recall correctly, Suika actually says in one of the fighting games (I think the first?) something like

"Oni don't lie! ...well, okay, they can, but they don't like to!"

or something like that.

Oh, it's from Suika's scenario vs Reimu in IAMP

https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Immaterial_and_Missing_Power/Story/Suika%27s_Scenario

Suika: Me? Lie!? Get real! We oni never lie to humans! Only humans tell lies!

Reimu: Really?

Suika: Well, maybe a little. But it's not a lie that I dislike lying.
