Making references to other games
Drake:
ZUN seems to do this a lot. I remember there being quite a few times where people have found more-than-uncanny similarities to other games out there, including...
-EoSD Reimu and Marisa's shot types imitating some other shmup (whose name escapes me~)
-Sakuya being a homage to Dio Brando
-MoF MarisaA being a Gradius homage
-etc
Thread because today my friend was playing Hellfire on the Genesis. Guess what shot types it has?
Red: Forward
Yellow: Backward
Green: To both sides at 90 degrees
Blue: X-shaped at 45 degrees
GEE I WONDER WHO THIS COULD BE
Cadmas:
My guess is that you have been reading that Touhou influences page on the wiki?

nintendonut888:
I think Gengetu Rape Time is based off of something from Cave, but I wouldn't know for myself. Maybe the Nicovideo comments are just saying that it's LIKE Cave.
Chainsaw Guitar:
Also, Yukari has Faust's door move. And Rumia is so similar to Zato-1, she may as well be his daughter.
