I always found interesting how ZUN managed to sync game mechanics not only with the game's plot but also with how things work in their universe.

I mean the whole spell card system that is referred all the time in the manga and books is really just a way to rationalize the gameplay of the STGs. More specific mechanics such as bombs can be translated to spell cards and lives can be translated to your character's vigor after taking a hit. Hell Junko even directly talks about it in LoLK.

But with all that said, has ZUN ever rationalized the Ps? The fact that you grow stronger as you defeat more enemies in a game has never really been explained, has it?
