Isn't Reimu 21 or something?

It's not like she ages. No matter how much time passes (a couple months between games, was it?) she'll always be nebulously in her mid-teens.

>> No.7036376

>>7036352
She ages, except without the rate of a normal outside-world human being. She's noticeable older than she was in the PC-98 era. She also grew boobs, although they're not as noticeable with that sarashi.

I subscribe to the idea that PC-98 Reimu and Marisa are the mothers of Windows Reimu and Marisa.

Except Reimu and Marisa are mostly-ordinary humans and should age at the same rate as other ordinary humans. And please don't bring up PC-98 continuity.

Assuming time works the same way in Gensokyo, of course.

>> No.7036431

>>7036420
...yes, it works the same way in Gensokyo. All the regular laws of physics apply there, except for the myth-weirdness that seems to attract mythical artifacts there. Magic works in the outside world as well.

Well, even if you don't agree with that, at least it's indisputable that with all the Gensokyo years that have passed since EoSD, Reimu and Marisa have not aged visibly.

>> No.7036448

>>7036409
This is Gensokyo, nothing and nobody is ordinary.

Besides, Reimu and Marisa still have their mid-teens bodies despite there being over 15 years since HRtP.

>> No.7036456

you know i don't think we should compare the time between the release of games as the actual time in gensokyo between incidents

>> No.7036470

>>7036456
I thought about that too, seeing as how ZUN doesn't want to reveal the real timeline and age of Reimu saying that ''I don't want the fans to know because then shit happens''.

But, the wiki has a timeline article and since everyone in here is a slave of the facts that are written in that page, not much can be done.

What I mean is that there's nothing stopping them from aging at ordinary rates besides ZUN's desire to keep them that way. I just treat it like a persistent contradiction that has to be resolved with doublethink.

Still looks mid-teens to me.

Also, I didn't mean that they look exactly the same as in the PC-98 era, I just mean that by now they should be having a more mature body.

Where the fuck are reimus parents

>> No.7036542

Characters in series/franchises without over-arching story arcs usually don't show visible aging. Mickey Mouse was created 83 years ago, The Simpsons began airing 21 years ago, and Detective Conan was first published 17 years ago, Yet none of those characters have visibly aged.

Tell that to the guys at the wiki, they won't accept any theory other than their own, usually saying ''let's not get into assumptions of fandom and stick with canon''.

It's called compressed continuity, and it can be retconned in a moment's notice by any creator working in an official capacity.

Try looking at it like every 5 years time folds in on itself. Everything happened as it happened and in the same time frame relative to itself, just not necessarily to the present.

>> No.7036610

...why are you even arguing over this. I highly doubt Zun has any thought about drawing them older from game to game. She'll always have the same age range. Yes, even at Touhou 50.

>> No.7036622

Reimu and Marisa are perpetually teenage and single. Don't think about it.

>> No.7036648

>>7036605
That just sounds like a series of continuous retcons to me. Everything makes sense at the present moment, even if that contradicts previous present moments? Sure, why not.

Even DC/Marvel comics characters rarely fucking age
