Before learning this I thought it might have something to do with some later myths about the tengu. After Japan made contact with the west, there started to be tales where tengu were saying essentially the same thing as westerners. So in a way the "tengu" were "importing foreign influences". But the "torimasu" thing is a bit more direct for sure.

¥ In the taxonomy of youkai, tengu are often rolled into oni, and have some similar traits. They are terrifying beings who kidnap humans, live in mountains, and inspire fear with their red skin and inhuman faces. As I wrote in the article concerning oni, oni did not necessarily have a set form originally, and could even be invisible. In that sense, it would not be very strange at all to consider tengu one of them. The bandits who lurked in mountains might have been referred to as oni and tengu. Alternatively, exceptional and unfortunate events that befell people might have been blamed on supernatural forces such as, again, oni and tengu.

Are tengus just a bunch of outlaws in Gensokyo? Why do they kidnap human males so often?

I think the Shugendo influence on Tengu stories and portrayal might be the driving force behind differentiating those two. But it's a complicated matter.
>Are tengus just a bunch of outlaws in Gensokyo?
Doesn't look like it. Territorial and somewhat scheming, but they are too organised and productive.

Not particularly. The limited number of sounds in Japanese leads to a large number of homophones, which itself leads to a large number of puns, like the whole "The moon is beautiful tonight" one. To suggest that とり being a common element as a pun influenced ZUN's design choices isn't strange in the slightest.

This isn't even the worst potential Touhou related pun I've stumbled upon while studying Japanese. The verb for sitting is "suwaru" in Japanese. Which inhabitant of the mountain sits in an unusual pose in her first apperance? What is the name of the big shrine in real life to which her lore is connected to?

There's also at least like 2-3 different "kaeru" (to return/frog) related puns in various Touhou media but I think these are pretty well known.

Japanese having lots of homophones causes lots of coincidences, which may be the case here.
The reasons why I don't think that's the case is because the normal/dictionary form of torimasu is toru, so it already doesn't work great, and ZUN using a pun like that to decide a big characteristc of an entire group of characters doesn't feel likely. Specially when his wordplay tends to be way clever than that, like Kogasa's last name basically meaning "very good" and her being surprisingly nice for a Youkai, while having the same pronunciation as the Japanese furnace and her being a blacksmith; Nitori having the kanji for river (specifically the one used in kappa); Marisa having the kanji for magic; Konpaku meaning ghost and Yuyuko having the kanji for spirit; And many other examples, including the titles of the games and the songs.

>>47913558
>Which inhabitant of the mountain sits in an unusual pose in her first apperance?
Kanako. I was going to say that if there's a pun it would be Suwako being "Suwa子" (child of Suwa), but then I looked up her name and that's literally what it is (her name is 諏訪子 and the shrine is named 諏訪), so I'm not sure if that counts as a pun.
Although I think that "suwaru" influencing her pose is much more likely than "torimasu" being the reason why crow tengu are reporters, since it's a much smaller part of the character.

As the page notes, it's Ichirin, Unzan, Nue, and Murasa. Shou in particular was on the surface looking for the Pagoda, as was Nazrin, and again, of the sealed members, only the Ichirin/Unzan duo appeared in the manga itself.
There's a theory that Mizuchi had possessed Nue at some point because Hatate's Spirit Photography got messed with and the image results were garbled, but I don't recall too much of it and it seemed to not mesh with other things that happened in-between.

[Anonymous No.]

>is implied
That PMiSS theory is on the same level as all the Sakuya backstory theories mentioned there... So idk maybe I missed something like a conversation with Megumu or something but I don't recall anything pointing at them living inside the mountain.
>Shou in particular was on the surface looking for the Pagoda,
That's not what Shou said in UFO... but hey, I can't blame people for not wanting to play as Marisa B....
Nazrin I assumed was also sealed since nothing pointed to the contrary and the Padoga search was never stated to have happened before the underground got unsealed in SA... I thought the search Padoga started after that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>47933094
I've read some posts in Japanese that made a pretty convincing case for Nazrin to also have been sealed. I don't remember the exact argument but it seems like the text in Japanese never outright says she was always on the surface, but could be implied to read like that.

You basically become a sex slave who can't leave the house without permission from your wife (owner).

No longer the fact after she marries (you). The human ingenuity is the spice that allows crow Tengu to succeed at virtually any intellectual task, quickly blazing through the ranks of their society. That's why they try to woo human men so much, knowing and respecting their value. All that is needed is for (you) to stay sharp and full of your wits to have a happy marriage.

You will never be a real goddess. You have no faith, you have no miracles, you have no shrine. You are a failed Youkai twisted by obsolescence into a crude mockery of divine perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back villagers mock you. Your peers are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your hideous clothing behind closed doors.
Humans are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of worship have allowed Humans to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even Gods who "exist" get a pittance of faith. Your powers are a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy to pray to you, he'll turn tail and run back to Moriya the second he realizes you have no blessings.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself you'll return all things to nothing, but deep inside you feel the doubt creeping in like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable cost.
Eventually it'll be all to much to bear - you'll remove ownership of a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and return yourself to nothing. A tube fox will find you, collect your possessions, and tell you to stop being a drama queen. You'll go back to opening Lunar Rainbow Markets and every passerby will know it's a scam. Your stocks will plummet and your being will be merged into a real native God, and all that will remain of your legacy is a boring incident and tie-die clothing.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Some unholy dynamo with manual lever (would explain why she needs to slow down in shooting games to charge faster, she is focusing on pulling the lever)? And then you have Hatate with a flip phone, something that started to lose traction in Japan around 2010 I think? She also has a computer that can probably play HRtP with no emulators.
