Nue is named after a Nue (her species) which I think is neat

>>46234814
Satori is a Satori which is her species and it is also her sister's species which means that she is a Satori too but she is not Satori but rather Koishi

>>46234796
Koakuma is called little devil (小悪魔)
Daiyousei is called big fairy (大妖精)
Chen is called orange (橙)
Ran is called indigo (藍)
Yukari is called purple (紫)
ZUN has such a way with words.

Satori is hated by others but loved by animals. This contrasts with Koishi, who is neither hated nor loved in SA. But wait, there's more: ZUN later developed schizofrenia and started flip-flopping about the general acceptance of Koishi and the darkness of her circumstances every time he had to write something about her. But Koishi is a schizo herself, so ZUN evidently wanted to identify himself with her to write more fitting ramblings.
Sasuga Hakurei Kannushi, what a heartfelt in-character performance!

>Koakuma is called little devil (小悪魔)
>Daiyousei is called big fairy (大妖精)
These characters are nameless. They're called what they are.

>>46236929
What makes Daiyousei a big fairy and Koakuma a small devil? Their sprites are the same size.

>>46236938
Sprite size sometimes just scales with stage.
If Dai was standing properly they would be around the same height, so I guess that means that Dai is big for a fairy(hand to kid sized?(zelda fairies don't count)) and Koa is small for a devil so she is probably considered a womanlet in Makai

>Playing the games

>>46237563
You mean you don't?

>>46234796
Tewi wears a carrot pendant, because she is a rabbit.

BRAVO ZUN

>>46237563
As opposed to what?

Eiki Shiki, a character from Phantasmagoria of Flower View, has an additional title of "Yabbadabbadoo" as a tribute to the popular American animated sitcom The Flintsones (one of ZUN's favourite pieces of media)

>>46239148
jerking off to the girlz.

>>46244482
You can still be jerkin the gherkin and enjoy some ballbusting by playing the games on lunatic!

>>46234796
Stage titles have to be the single most overlooked aspect of the games, right? What's the stage title for YOUR favoritehu, /jp/?

>>46250510
>Lovely visitor from Hell
Lovely indeed.

>>46250510
Probably the most overlooked indeed. I like how it IN stage four changes depending on who you fight, but sometimes the titles seem to refer to the stage itself more than to a hu, like stage5 "A Pure Cage in the Filthy World" seem to be about Eientei rather than Reisen.

>>46250848
I think they're more akin to being the chapter names of the game in general, yea. They're pretty cool. Beast Youkai of the 15th Night ~ Metamorphose, for me.

>>46250510
I miss those little paragraphs he wrote for them in PCB and IN.

>>46255841
Me too. I like PCBs more since they fade in and have that aged look and the cryptic descriptions add into the old asian mystique feeling of the older games.

>>46234796
Thanks for shedding light on the elegance of Subterranean Animism. Do we have any fitting art of Koishi and 大石 together?

>>46263284
"Good evening, Mr. Rock from the middle of the first stage of Chireiden"
tl note: Chireiden is the Japanese name for Subterranean Animism

>>46235773
Why no Daiakuma? Why no Koyousei?

>>46263459
Amazing! Thanks!!
I love this pair now. Hopefully we get another pair popularity poll so we can promote them.

>>46263490
Fuck I'll translate the rest of the panels of this frame
"Mr. Bear's thingie is so small"
"As usual, you're still the best rock ever!"
"Eh? What I am doing?"
>I love this pair now. Hopefully we get another pair popularity poll so we can promote them.
Yes, rocks of all sizes need more fanart and OC!
Sadly, Wheelchair Detective Satori is the only piece of media that includes big rock and little rock that I know of.... their entire scene is great though.

>>46263622
fyi "the best rock ever" should be in red.
(Wheelchair Detective Satori has english subs on youtube but I think they're bad and miss some details sometimes)

>>46263622
>>46263647
Thanks! I'll have to watch this series.

>>46250439
i torture my worm while playing the games on easy modded with ai-generates portraits of the characters wearing only fundoshi and sarashi in spacezin style, does that count?

>>46266723
I mean technically.
Easy modo is for kids though.

>>46263459
The fact that this exists makes me so happy

You start with the biggest rock, which is the easiest, and end with the smallest which is the hardest.
In a way, stacking stones is like an analogy for subterranian animism. Stacking stones is also how children in limbo supposedly try to get out of hell, while SA is about getting into former hell.
There are so many layers of meaning here.

>>46234796
In Perfect Cherry Blossom, of course ultimately it's revealed that the spring has disappeared from Gensokyo because it's being stolen by an egotistical ghost who wants to make a giant Tree in the Netherworld bloom. However, you might have never noticed that this is in fact foreshadowed by there also being Trees right in the background of the first stage.

>>46274251
Why the fuck are the trees green if the spring has been stolen? Is Zun lying to us?

Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism is 11th Touhou game
Satori, the master of Chireiden, rates herself 11 points
Bravo, ZUN

what a ass

>>46275809
The ability to read minds is truly magnificent.

>>46263459
i see, so thats what that clip was about
i watched weelchair satori not too long ago but had no idea that this was a pun on both their names being the same

>>46255841
Phantasm was kino

>>46275713
M-maybe they're just some evergreens? ZUN-sama would never lie to his playerbase intentionally...

>>46255841
The doll from the portrait from stage 3 introduction in PCB is possibly the most obscure Touhou character

>>46275749
I love how every time ZUN writes something there will always be a (laugh).

>>46283721
I thought it just were a portrait of Alice, though I'd need to check its filename to make sure.

>>46285202
I always thought it was a traced or heavily processed photo of a real gothic doll, never associated it as Alice, but I guess tou might be right

>>46275844
I don't like how her hairstyle changed between the artists. I don't like how I can almost see her panties.

>>46266723
How do you play it one-handed? Imagine playing pacifist runs while jerkin it...

>>46274251
DEEPEST LORE

>>46255841
what about TD
