Bkub comic thread.

Because the pirate archetype seen in popular media is based off of European figures of antiquity and so it wouldn't make sense for traditional japanese spirits to be dressed as such.


Also there's no ocean in Touhou

Until TH14 which will feature an ocean, a meremaid and a jellyfish youkai

I'd prefer a more modern Somali pirate Youkai

>mermaid and jellyfish youkai

Do not want.

AHOY ME HEARTIES.

let this thread be saged.

>No ocean in Gensokyo
Say what!?

>>5531777

When has she ever sailed a sea worthy vessel in Gensokyo? Where did she sail it?

The sky is not the ocean.

>>5531777
Read SSiB

>>5531671

Arr, cannae be a good pyrat without nae good looting on the seas, aye? An' there ain't nae good cap'ns with nae good loot, nor are there any seven seas in Gensokyo. But damned if that let it be any hindrance, mate! Ah say hoist the oriflamme an tap the good admiral fer good luck, an then sail out like the mighty ghost 'o the Denmark Strait herself had risen from the ol' collectors locker!
I'd say raise yer pints o' Ramune an' take another swig
Fer the curse o' cap'n Murasa has led us to this fate
So have no fear an' don't look back, the afterlife awaits!

also Inaba of the moon and inaba of the earth. There is 2 chapters that they mention there is no ocean in gensokyo

Gensokyo has an ocean: the open skies.

Guys this was a joke.
Keep the autism in check please.

Could really use a Skies of Arcadia/Touhou crossover picture right now.

I understand that drinking rum from a cask containing the preserved body of a one-armed one-eyed British national hero is something of an acquired taste, but at least beats receiving its worth in sugar.

I wonder how many pirate ships Murasa sunk? Surely every ship wasn't full of virtuous merchants.

>>5531732
But there WERE Japanese pirates.

Piracy was big in Asia just as it was in the West. Whenever there's a fast buck to be made there's always people willing to kill and pillage for it, regardless of what society it is.

>>5531996

Not sure on the spelling, but Koixinga (or something to that effect) was a pretty notorious East Asian pirate.
Chinese and Japanese parentage if I'm not mistaken.

>>5532014

Actually nevermind that, checking it and getting conflicting sources.
Turns out the father may have been the pirate, not Koixinga himself.

They even had female pirate lords.

>autism

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Davy Jones VS Captain Murasa
who win ?

>>5532063
Remind me, which one had more frills in their battle-wear?

>>5532063

Murasa sinks, Davy Jones collects.
Pirates got to know to strike deals with mutual benefits.

>>5532078
Davy Jones, probably? Murasa isn't very frill...

>>5532078

Well... if we're talking Davy Jones from before Disney, he's pretty much an unseen character.

Trolls on the front page. Action stations!

Keep decent threads off the page 15, guys.
