/jp/ - Otaku Culture

the only thing "rabbit" about these two are their ears.
everything else is identical to humans.

Sure is Touhou and visual novels in here.

>>5860744

I am sick of these motherfucking youkai stealing the apperance of humans.

WHY would they look like them

>>5860747
You must be new here.

>>5860754
>I'm a little bitch that accepts any kind of shit you throw in /jp/.
Just because you use use a Touhou image doesn't mean it's /jp/ related, OP.

>>5860744

Reisen is an alien, but Tewi is actually a rabbit.

And I'd let her encase my dick in a mucous lining, if you know what I mean.

>>5860761
No really, how long have you been here? You at least know the reason why /jp/ was created, right?

>>5860777
>Reisen is an alien, but Tewi is actually a rabbit.
....

I need to brush up on my touhou lore. where the fuck do you learn this shit, anyways?

>>5860799

Take it easy

>>5860813
Then you should know that Touhou was /jp/ related from the start. Bitch all you want, things are not going to change.

>>5860799

ZUN's official profiles from the game manuals. There are translations on the wiki.

It's also just common knowledge that rabbits turn into little girls if they live a long time. You would know this if your rabbit hadn't died of loneliness.

Moon rabbits are not rabbits. Their ears are fake.

Earth youkai rabbits are real rabbits though.

>>5860829
Keep on trollin'.

There's no way as hell anyone on /jp/ is really this stupid.

>>5860841
Dude, do you even have a problem with this thread? A lot of good threads had a shitty OP, I thought you knew that.

>>5860841
>Reducing yourself to insults.

Should have expected as much.

>>5860832
Then who has been keeping Tewi company four this long?

>>5860857
that's a nice freudian slip, little one.

>>5860857
Just a legion of other bunnies

>>5860843

No one ever notices Reisen's ears are tacked on because they're too distracted by her big beautiful danmaku.

What exactly are moon rabbits anyways?

They were created by lunarians as a race of sexy servants or something?

>>5860893
Japanese people tell their kids there are rabbits on the moon.
Figure out.

>>5860893

Instead of a face, Japanese people saw a rabbit pounding rice into mochi on the moon, hence the legend that there are rabbits there.

Moon rabbits in Touhou serve as soldiers on the moon, though it's not known if they were created by the Lunarians or are even completely subservient to them; Reisen's relationship with Kaguya and Eirin might not be the best indication of how all moon rabbits interact with Lunarians, as Kaguya is a former princess and Eirin is her attendant while Reisen is most likely just a normal, regular... rabbit... from the moon... ...

In some fanon Reisen does whine about only being useful for her sex appeal.

>>5860922
well silent sinner in blue, the moon rabbits were used as a task force to try and take out reimu and the lot, can't quite remember the other stuff like there living conditions ect... gotta re-read it

prepare for incoming Reisen chocolate shit copypasta...

I hope not, actually.

Hell yes, Inaba is the strongest.

Yeah, SSiB kind of showed that moon rabbits aren't simple slaves since we see a few of them living life in the city as seemingly civilians. Also, they aren't used as simple soldiers either since some are tasked with pounding mochi for some reason that escapes me.

>>5861120
see >>5860922

How old is Inaba anyway?
Also, do you reckon she has south-African parents?

Useless bunny, only good for:
1) Unquestioning loyalty
2) Rational discourse
3) Destroying your enemies but first driving them mad
4) Sweet rabbit loving

>>Unquestioning loyalty
Abandoned her comrades on the Moon before/during a battle with the Earth; they dead

This captcha is really starting to grow on me.

>>5861133

Reisen or Tewi? They're both called Inaba.

Reisen probably looks her age, while Tewi is over 1500 years old. She's older than the Hakurei border. Apparently it's because she takes really good care of herself.

Also, a note on Reisen's ears. They're real. The buttons or tacks on them seem to pretty much function as military dog tags or rank symbols for moon rabbits, considering she's not the only one that has them. She can take them off, but probably stays fully dressed in her military uniform (including the buttons) because it's either the only set of clothes she owns after fleeing the moon or that's just what she wears while on duty. She is Eientei's primary line of defense, after all. If you pull her ears and think they're fake you'll probably end up hurting her.

>>5861253
>reisen looks her age
U mad?
She's almost 40 years old and looks like less than half of that.

>>5861280


...shit, I forgot she came to Gensokyo in the 60's. Maybe moon rabbits just age slowly. Tewi looks like she stopped aging the minute she gained anthropomorphism.

Why would I be mad? Reisen's one of my favorites.

>>5861253

I was more of the opinion that, as moon rabbits apparently had a shared telepathy of sorts, those clips on the ears were there as a jammer so her thoughts and more importantly, her location couldn't be found.

However, I can't remember where I read about that moon rabbit telepathy thing though, so it might just be me yammering on about something I barely know again.

>>5861238

About that, I can only wonder how exactly she managed to flee from the moon to gensokyo in the middle of a battle.

>>5861280
This. Oh, so fucking this.
Where is my mature, adult Reisen? ;_;
I mean, really, fanartists should draw her with the face they would normally put on Eirin, that would be perfect.

>>5860738
Why can't they digest it on the first pass? I never understood the whole "we can't digest it now so lets shoot it out and try again" thing

>>5861306

Reisen look's like she's in her early twenties. That isn't good enough for you in a world full of lolis?

>>5861301

Because she didn't. She was off by herself (considering she's military, I'd assume in a scouting party) and ran the invading astronauts. In a panic, she drove one insane and fled for earth. The actual war hadn't really started until she had left.

>>5861321
Early 20's touhous like Reisen, Meiling and Aya are the best.

>>5861308

Because god of evolution made it so.

>>5861351

Where do Kogasa and Reimu fall in, then?

I thought it was pretty obvious that the only rabbit-like features of earth and moon rabbits are their ears and tail OP.

>>5861351
But in her only ZUN art hong looks young. Loli young(No chest whatsoever, innocent face).

>>5861238
>Abandoned her comrades on the Moon before/during a battle with the Earth; they dead

Yeah, but she regrets that. And she tolerates all the endless bullshit poured on her at Eientei, either because she doesn't want to become a traitor again, or because she feels she deserves an indirect punishment for it. Her new taskmistresses couldn't ask for a more loyal underling.

Reisen is in my top five touhoues largely because she's the one among them who actually seems capable of regret and learning from her mistakes.

>>5861308
It's just a feature of their evolutionary gastrointestinal tract. If anything, it suggests their gastric secretions are not strong enough to break down more coarse minerals and materials in one pass or, rather, while the material is consistently being moved through the intestines.

>>5861301
>However, I can't remember where I read about that moon rabbit telepathy thing though

It's used at least in SSiB, probably in some of the official fanbooks too.

>>5861372
Do you have a bigger resolution of that?

>>5861372

Her caretakers aren't actually mean to her, though. They respect her and value her contributions to helping out around Eientei. The only one who actually does anything to her is Tewi, and that's just because she likes playing tricks on everyone and does that kind of shit to everyone else anyway...and she can get away with it because she's the Queen of Rabbits, or something.

>>5861372
Shikieki makes sure to remember her enormous sin though. Most likely she will fall into Hell.

>>5861387
>Her caretakers aren't actually mean to her, though.

Inaba Inaba would like to have a word with you. I'm not saying they don't like her, but she is certainly heavily abused.

>>5861391
I don't think so. Shikieiki always aim for perfectness so of course she will exaggerate her dialogue a bit in order to make the other character reflect more deeply about her past. That is the objective of preaching after all.

>>5861392

I thought they didn't abuse her except for Tewi...at least, they aren't as abusive to her as fanon makes her out to be. At that point her only purpose at Eientei is to be experimented on/raped/have experimental rape done to her.

Also, Reisen with guns is best Reisen.

>>5861413
Oh yeah, the fanon abuse is just retarded.

>>5861426

I guess that "abuse" at Eientei for her means that they belittle her work and make her feel bad about herself, but nothing to actually bring her to tears. I would also think they show their appreciation for her in little ways, maybe not in outright praise. I never read Inaba because I'd rather buy the book, and I can't understand Japanese enough to warrant that purchase.

>>5861407
What? Eiki was particularly stern on her warnings and criticism on how she left her comrades to die while she now lives happily.

I think she even summoned their vengeful ghosts to make a point.

>>5861301

She fled before the war even started.

>>5861448

Shiki likes to exaggerate. There is no proof if any of the rabbits died.

>>5861448
>Shikieiki always aim for perfectness so of course she will exaggerate her dialogue a bit in order to make the other character reflect more deeply about her past. That is the objective of preaching after all.

Wow I just quoted his entire post, you should read it again.

>>5861413

Inaba & Inaba is canon though, and it among other things established that Eirin puts Reisen into a coma for the slightest mistake.

Kaguya's the only one who doesn't abuse her. She just expects to be pampered forever, the lazy cunt.

>>5861503
>Kaguya doesn't abuse her

Yes she does.

The Lunarians are nearly immortal because the moon is pure. This let's them age rather slowly (if at all). If this affects moon rabbits is unknown. Reisen fled ~40 years ago. She was a "young rabbit" back then. Also note that the rabbits you see in SSiB are "from the last war", so they are all older than 40 years.

>>5861387
Even though the amount of canon in the Inaba comic is debatable, you should have read those when discussing the rabbits.

Don't forget that Imperishable Night happened because the other moon rabbits told her via telepathy that they'll take her back the next full moon for the fight against the humans.
Kaguya and Eirin took her in and protect her from the emissaries by replacing the full moon with a fake one. So they surely "like" her.

>>5861503

I would like to debate its canon status because...ZUN didn't write it. Some of it is meant to be taken as canon, but I would think that Eirin being a bitch to Reisen is one of those things which is exaggerated for the sake of comedy. Keep in mind it is first and foremost a gag comic. I would think any portrayal of the characters from SSiB would be closer to canon since ZUN actually did the scenario for that.

>>5861503
>She just expects to be pampered forever, the lazy cunt.
That's the benefit of being royalty, and immortal, work is for peasants.

This whole comic is canon.

delicous Rabbit girls

only thing better are catgirls

>>5861532

If we discount scenes because of their comedic nature, we can toss most of Touhou into the trashbin right away, including the games themselves. Touhou's genre is fantasy-comedy.

>>5861532
>ZUN didn't write Inaba Inaba

Doesn't matter. He allowed it as a official print, so he approve of its contents.

>There is no proof if any of the rabbits died.

>>5861545

Mokou is the daughter of nobility, and you never seeing her throwing a bitchfit like Kaguya does when she doesn't get what she wants.

>>5861532
There's no such thing as "half-canon".
You have to assume and take all of it at face value until specifically said otherwise.

>>5861568

I say we discount it because ZUN wasn't the one to write it. He certainly approved of it, but that doesn't mean that some of it goes against canon. For instance, Eirin has never seemed that abusive to me. She's stern, but she wouldn't put Reisen into a coma for 2 weeks for such a small offense or whatever.

>>5861577
Ex-daughter.
>you never seeing her throwing a bitchfit
Yeah you do. Everytime she loses a fight, everytime Kaguya brushes her off, and everytime Kaguya forgets what she did to her, oh, and that time Kaguya ate her food.

>>5861590
2 weeks probably seems like a short time to Eirin.

>>5861590
>She's stern, but she wouldn't put Reisen into a coma for 2 weeks for such a small offense or whatever.

Now THAT'S the thing you shouldn't assume as ZOMG CANON!!! since it's supposed to be something funny. The canon part is that Eirin is very stern and that she may exaggerate on Udongein's punishments.

>>5861593

That's a Mokou bitchfit. Kaguya is pampered and probably would hate living as Mokou does. I'm not even sure if she has a permanent home. If she does, then it's with Keine in the human village...and Kaguya would never deign herself to live with such commoners.

>>5861590
Keep in mind Reisen is the only competent caretaker, and she basically attempt to leave them. That's treason, as well as abandoning her post. Besides that, if Reisen ever realized how useful she is to the other, she'd certainly have some leverage to negotiate working conditions, like Tewi has, therefor, you have to crush any idea of revolting or organization as fast as possible.
The rich have to oppress the poor to keep them in line, it's basic.

>>5861581
nah bro its ok to fap .....fuck now i have to

>The rich have to oppress the poor to keep them in line, it's basic

You're a retard.

>>5861590

Eirin wouldn't do this, Eirin wouldn't do that... yet she did. Are you sure you're not imposing your own preferred fan interpretation on her?

>>5861599

I'm not convinced by that logic. Most of the undeniably canon content (ie. the games, again) is meant to be funny too. Things in touhouverse can simultaneously be farcical and true just fine.

>>5861609
They were doing perfectly well for a thousand of years without Reisen.

Also, Tewi is actually more important, since earth rabbits only listen to her.

Touhou canon discussions are usually retarded, but one about Inaba of the moon...?
Are you fucking serious?

>>5861615
Didn't mean sick in a mental way

>>5861627
Yeah, I know. Tewi is more important than Reisen to them.
And they were doing fine without Reisen, but if you have a good servant around, why let them go? And they aren't as well staffed as they were back on the Moon; I'm assuming Tewi and her rabbits are more for political power than any actual housework.

>>5861599

Exactly. I'm not debating that Eirin is stern, but she wouldn't throw her only reliable help into a coma for two weeks. Maybe experiment on her to both serve as a punishment and FOR SCIENCE! but nothing so extreme. It's pretty obvious from everything else stated that they can't rely on Tewi at all. Miss Queen Bunny prefers to mess with the residents at Eientei, and she knows she can get away with it because...well, if they did anything against her, she can force them all out by having the earth rabbits turn on them.

>>5861627 continued

Forgot to mention that Tewi's probably the most competent manager in the whole Gensokyo. There was that one Inaba chapter where she took over most of the stalls on the fair in a matter of hours.

>>5861648
The fuck you are talking about? Tewi and her rabbits are only thinking about having fun, only working on rare occasions. Reisen is what makes things move in Eientei, she does most of the work and is far from being appreciated for it.

>>5861636

You expect Touhou fandom to not be retarded?

>>5861654

She's the only one we know of with an army at her disposal. Tenma probably has much more sway than Tewi could ever hope for as far as number of forces, but he/she doesn't really care what the Tengu do unless someone tries to intrude on the mountain.

>>5861648
No, the rabbits are doing all the work. See CiLR.

Although now that I checked, it seems that Tewi is a slacker and Reisen's doing her work too. Oh well.

>>5861636
What's wrong with discussing inaba inaba?

>>5861662
That's why I said Tewi and her rabbits are probably around for political reasons, but they are more important. Reisen's just a useful servant, but Tewi gives them an army and presence, so that's why I would think Tewi is more important than Reisen, also Tewi's treated much better, presumably because she has leverage to negotiate with. Reisen has none.

>>5861675
Well, some miscellaneous cleaning here and there, yeah, good point.

>>5861692
You are just tripping balls about political stuff, dude.

>>5861692

Or the fact that she might throw around the "I HAVE A FUCKING ARMY" card around a lot. Honestly, if Gensokyo ever took a slightly darker approach (but not too dark), Tewi would be fucking scary to anyone that isn't a human.

>Tewi army.

Yeah, because some fairy-rabbit youkais are such a powerful army.

You guys are entering a silly GRIMDARK concept right there.

>>5861704
Yeah, but I really can't think of any other reason for them.
I remember one of the interviews where Tewi, Reisen, and the rabbits boycotted the Hakurei Shrine party for serving rabbits or something like that, it just makes me wonder what else you could use an instant-army for. Eirin and Kaguya were also pretty high up on the Moon's society, and seeing as how Kaguya is a princess, she was probably educated on how to rule properly.
Or maybe they just want the rabbits around for pillows or something and I'm reading too much into it.

>>5861669
>She's the only one we know of with an army at her disposal.

Not really. Wriggle controls insects. Mystia controls birds. Nazrin controls mice. Etc.

More like Tewi's the only one smart enough to actually use her power for something more than a random fight or menial task here and there.

>>5861728
Kaguya definitely doesn't know how to rule, she can't even take care of herself and Eientei alone.

>>5861755
Most princesses are just figureheads.
Eirin is probably the one who could actually rule.

Tewi's "army" consists out of things that are as nonthreatening as the nameless fairies.

And if we're allowing Inaba^2 as "evidence", the little fuzzballs are useless even for work. Tewi is effectively a commander of a wholly useless race.

And even though she is younger and lower in rank than Tewi, I'm pretty sure Reisen could kill her with a harsh glare if she really wanted to.

>>5861740

>Mystia controls birds

Not really. She can cause night-blindness and confusion, but that's about it

>Nazrin controls mice

Not all mice, just the ones who managed to follow Byakuren. She's not in control of anything, really.

>Wriggle controls insects

Also fucking scary, too bad she's too dumb to use them.

>>5861722

Realistically, the rabbits could RUIN Eientei without actually killing anyone. They would make life there chaos and pretty much just drive out the residents out of sheer annoyance. Would you like your house overrun with out-of-control rabbits?

>>5861780
Cannonfodder, sabotage, distractions, etc.
A million + 1 commander vs 1 is nothing to blow off.

>>5861773

Eirin helped start the Lunarian society in the first place. Of course she's the real leader.

>>5861783
Yes, Mystia controls birds. See her spellcards. And Nazrin is even outright called a motherfucking tiny tiny clever COMMANDER.

>>5861838

It says she commands a lot of mice, but not all the mice ever. Tewi controls every earth rabbit ever. This could also extend to wolpertingers...since, you know, mythological creatures are real in Gensokyo.

>>5861861
>Tewi controls every earth rabbit ever.

Not really.

Tewi being able to command every rabbit in Gensokyo may not even be a power per se, just a matter of charisma. You tend to listen to your leaders.

>>5861838
>See her spellcards.
Spellcards aren't real, bro.

Charisma as powerful as Tewi's might as well be magic.
