Speaking of danmaku's nonlethality...

How in hell does Mokou literally DIE whenever you clear any one of her spell cards?  Danmaku and Spell Card Rules were created to overcome this, weren't they?
Rule of Cool, I guess?  I mean, she does die and resurrect spectacularly every time you clear a spell card. :V  With most bosses, you only get to see a spectacular explosion like that at the very end of the battle. :D

Maybe she's really fucking weak and dies to danmaku. :V

Or, maybe she would normally be just a very weak human with the ability to create fire, but with her resurrections, she can overexert herself to death multiple times to become Extra mode powerful.

Reimu, at least, specifically says she's going all-out because it's "okay" since Mokou is immortal.

Mokou stops fighting because of pain, right? But technically, the pain should vanish everytime she resurrects into a new body.

Pain still sucks, even if it goes away a few minutes later. Put yourself in her shoes for a bit - if you met someone and they just kept killing you no matter how many times you resurrected, you'd eventually just give up too.

Also, I just noticed how lazy ZUN is with spell card backgrounds, especially early on. Patchy's in EoSD is just a 256x256 scrolling stained-glass window texture that doesn't even wrap properly.

Don't be silly, everyone must start somewhere. For example, there's this one clock background that I made.

Taaaaalking about parsee...
This is just a coincidence, or some of the stupid stuff I say.
Her name shouldn't be pronounced like  "parusu"...?

EDIT: wait, that's the reason of the video? I'm sure I saw somewhere in danbooru that it meant something like jealousy or I dunno... It was really long ago >.<

パルスィ. pa ru si.

Although the paruparu is a shortening for the sound of something giving off a heavy wave, literally pulse (パルス). Parsee gives off waves of envy. It's a pun, in other words. You won't find it used anywhere besides Touhou, however, since it's a fanmade onomatopoeia.

Oh, well, thanks. (I shall never trust a danbooru translation again)

Someone's probably said this already, but I just noticed that there's a shadow of the ship at the very beginning of stage 1 on UFO.
I've played this game numerous times, and I didn't notice at all until my sister was watching me play today and she pointed it out.

Yes, I pointed it out once.
Also, with a friend we got to the conclusion that in stage 2 you are gettin' behind it (because the player knows that she won't be able to reach it).

Somebody might have already stated this, but the melody line of
Explrer from Megami Tensei
sounds like the piano part of Nuclear Fusion from SA.
...coincidence...?

I looked at HRtP's release-date (1996). Then I went and looked at MGS's release date (1998).

Touhou is older than Metal Gear Solid. (Not the original Metal Gear, of course, but.)

I thought that was pretty obvious.  :/

Then again, I only noticed the shadow of the palanquin after it was pointed out to me, so I should probably just shut up.  :derp:

Ever wonder why Byakuren has gradient hair?

Compare this to this.

And this to that.

Is it just me, or does ZUN parallel Castlevania...

I swear, I can't unhear Touhou when those songs appear...

And I know there's a similarity thread, but I feel uncomfortable bumping it up right now.

Regarding Byakuren's mysterious gradient hair, I now realize/think that the brown hair was part of her regular human hair, and the purple hair is her new youkai hair that slowly grew out after she became immortal. She just never bothered to cut off the old brown part.

She has the purple hair in her sprite even when she puts the scroll away (while moving), sorry to spoil your fun.
