Touhou Game Club

Touhou is good this way. It would be nice if ZUN filled in all the details, background, etc for everyone but it would turn the series into something more like math class. Everything possible is known and all answers are black and white facts. Its more like philosophy where not everything is clear and things can be argued one way or another. That said, I feel its more likely that we're over-thinking the series and its just intended to be a fun shooting game without really deep storylines or backgrounds.



Kogasa is just a "godly" umbrella angry at humans who ignored her. From a human perspective she (the umbrella) developed supernatural life and went on a rampage of getting people wet. Medicine Alice and Byakuren are just different.

I thought of Yukari being a boundary because there are youkai who were a physical or abstract thing in the outside world before coming to Gensokyo or becoming a youkai. Kogara and Nue come to mind. Current reading Curiosities of Lotus Asia. Doing the print works in order of release.

Speaking of Curiosities, when I finish this chapter I'm on I may have lots of questions depending on how it ends. Currently on the bones appearing in the Graveyard for the Nameless chapter.

Finished that chapter. ZUN's wordplay makes me facepalm. Just finished the chapter where Rinnosuke partially goes to the outside world then meets Yukari. The whole scene is funny and scary at the same time. Knowing shes a perpetual liar and how she acted there fit perfectly into my image of her. Se is definitely not someone to anger. She also took off with the iPod but it counts as payment for the fuel. More importantly, how the hell does she have an infinite supply of kerosene? I'm suspecting that is a blatant lie just as a show of power.

Relating to the bones. Isn't ZUN going to go back to those? Like identical bones dont just leave people or youkai so what on Gensokyo is going on there?


I was thinking of physical attacks but that works too.



That would be even more interesting. To see Miko's reaction to that.
You say theres no limit on her power but then you said Eiki is much stronger. Is Eiki infinitely strong too then?


We need more. After reading all of the dialogue she has in UFO extra she is more interesting than before. Mostly the Sanae+Suwako dialogue, what exactly was that "dressing up" Sanae had in mind and how can the internet get pictures of that?



Everyone in Gensokyo is of legal drinking age. I'm holding a question related to this and Curiosities for now.

The question is in a later post. "Where is Gensokyo?". At the time of writing this I was thinking it was in a physical location on Earth that could never be reached by humans. Whatever country that was in is where I would say the drinking age is determined. Answer has subsequently changed so the point of drinking age is meaningless.



You have read the doujin with Sakuya as dominant partner right? One specifically comes to mind where someones goes into the SDM gets knocked out, and Remi tells Sakuya to rape them senseless or something to that effect.

You currently are not "sunny" enough to use a parasol, God of wind.



Mice, dogs, rabbits, birds, and several youkai are fine too.

Everywhere and no where. Its a world where things like spirits and youkai gather so it can't be on Earth even though it looks very similar to Earth. It has no GPS coordinates. It would be better to say its coordinates are on the complex plane if Earth is on the real plane. Even though everyone there is of different origins when they were on Earth they all appear to know Japanese. Or maybe that is a mystery on its own. From the perspective of a human on Earth, Gensokyo has no tangible form, there is no visible line between there and here. It can only be accessed by becoming a spirit, god, youkai, etc or having a certain ephemeral state of mind like Maribel did.

Conversely, from the perspective of a local shady magician Earth has a physical location and can be found easily. "Can be found" does not imply said magician can go there for fun, only that she knows where the Hakurei Border is and can walk up to it if she likes.
