random touhou Qs (may contain noob ones)
WHMZakeri:
MoF's Death Fairy is the one just before Kanako.
In SA, Every fairy is a death fairy I'm not sure it counts, but there's the two Particle-Wave Orbs before Utsuho's fight.

Pretty much what happens is, Stages 1 and 2 are easy, in Stage 3 things get interesting, and then you get to Stage 4 - the F*ck You Stage - where you finally meet the boss who reveals to you who's behind whatever incident you're investigating. The TV Tropes page on Touhou is actually really helpful for covering a lot of the common themes and occurences in the games.

A youkai is a pretty well-defined thing in Japanese mythology (see here). They don't have anything to do with vampires, for one who originate in eastern European mythology, and two only drink human blood. Youkai can outright consume humans.
As for the species of "<profession> youkai", like Patchouli and Alice (and possibly soon-to-be Marisa and Reimu), they're normal humans whose powers have grown so much they've gone pretty much beyond being human. This ties into the whole Youkai definition: things that've lived long enough or gained enough power to become "something else, something more than they were". But these youkai aren't ones who consume humans, probably since they are/were one themselves. So they're different.
By the way, it was Meiling (standard youkai) that talked about eating the protagonist, not Patchouli (witch youkai).

SA has one. Stage 4. Right at the end.

--- End quote ---
Nope, the extra bosses in LLS, MS, and SoEW don't have time out attacks, but then again, no one plays PC-98! ::)
