- Byakuren is malevolent and using her youkai followers just as much as she used her human ones.
- Remilia and Flandre probably met Gil d'Rais, a known pedophile and murderer of children.
- Reimu's nameless god is YHWH.
- Yukari is running out of power and going to dissipate into the ether soon.
- Gensokyo is weakening and on the verge of disappearing due to Yukari's incoming death.
- The Lunarians are terrified of humanity.
- Suwako is aware of Gensokyo's imminent doom.

Why someone leave the human world to go another world who is about to die?
>>
the girls are not satisfied with their defeat in the main games, and any kind of edge one could get would result in territorial war

tea party's and other festivities have only a diplomatic value, smokescreen for their "cold war"

as time goes on, reimu must spend much more time at the shrine maintaining the barrier, to a point she can't leave even to solve incidents

tengu are ultra xenophobic and momiji has a special hate for humans

The ''Christmas Lights'' on Flandre's wings are flight crystals. Flan got to pick the colors.

Neither Miko nor Byakuren,wanted the other leader to get influence over Kokoro, due to the menreiki's surprising power and popularity, leading to a begrudging relationship akin to joint child custody. This has led to genuine affection over time and has smoothed relations somewhat between the two, even if they would never admit it publically.

Seija is actually really polite and cordial because paranoia and suspicion gets under people's skin much longer and harder than being a prick to them.

The upside-down cross design is pretty popular in the outside world, hence why Yumemi and Raiko both have the design on their clothes.

Gensokyo is actually seen as a pretty shit place by self-respecting youkai in the outside world, and that living there is a place of last resort for dying eastern gods or otherwise desperate creatures.Like a cross between a game preserve and a retirement home.

Do you think Marisa applies flying ointment with her broom?

>>15022683
marisa has to wear flight goggles at certain speeds due to bugs and small debrae flying straight into her eyes.

>>15021531
I thought Koakuma was Patchy's familiar? Maybe that's not cannon...

>>15022646
it doesn't completely negate what you say, but i like the story of Patchy creating Flan's wing-crystals out of magic, since Flan's wings were cut off from before they went to Gensokyo. it's a nice coincidence that Patchy's magic attacks in the game look similar to Flan's crystals.
>>
>>15022709
The only logical place on Marisa where she could store such goggles is in her hat. Therefore, Marisa's hat is likely also where she keeps basic magical supplies (e.g. spellcards and potions) when solving incidents.
>>

Seija is still at large despite being antagonistic to pretty much everyone because many of the major youkai factions in Gensokyo want a good scapegoat in case they get the chance to off one of their rivals.


tsukumogami are 'racist' to each other for a variety of different reasons, depending what object they are, to the conditions of their 'birth'. However, Raiko has been a really uniting figure for them and the spread of object-swapping will eventually lead to a faction of their own instead of being the tools in other youkai's plans.

Major headcanon coming through

>PC98 = Somewhat recent past
>Windows = Current times
>Maribel and Renko's outside world = Near future
>Yumemi and Chiyuri's outside world = Far future
>Seihou = Very far future

Really it doesn't stray off much from what has been established except for the Seihou part and the fact that ZUN hasn't confirmed or denied PC98 being canon. I also realize that Seihou really has nothing to do with the touhou canon, but it just feels nice imagining that everything links up perfectly.

>>
>>15023188
wouldn't you like to think that she's actually pretty weak, but manages to outsmart every single other?

it fits well for a mastermind
>>
Flandre and Remilia isn't actually sisters. Remilia is a true vampire from birth between two vampires before her mother gets killed. Her father, in grief, sleeps with another woman before getting killed and Flandre is born. Flandre is orphaned after her mother gets killed for sleeping with a vampire but Remilia saves her from being killed herself and announces that no one touches her family and takes her in. She's still ashamed that Flandre exists and that she's stronger than a true vampire so she keeps her locked up in the house and away from everyone. Remilia is Flandre's only stone left in the world so she latches onto her every word despite how cruel of a fate it is

Lunarians are basically human hipsters that took it a little too far by going to the moon. No one likes them. Even themselves. The rabbits were originally from the moon and are just going with the flow. Given the chance, they'll all leave because of the Lunarians

Sakuya hasn't been human for a while now but she hasn't noticed
>>
Eirin is hiding her rabbit ears under her hat.
>>
Reisend is a genius experiment by Eirin to combine her DNA with a moon rabbit's to see if the two are compatible. The results were an insane halfbreed that thought it was a war veteran that lost her ears. Eirin took pity on it and took it with her to Earth and gave her psychotic eye beams so she has some form of defense
>>
-After seeing Marisa develop and grow up Mima left Gensokyo and moved on to the next world
-Yukari is Maribel, a human who drank the Hourai elixir (the whole moon business) and just puts up a front because she wants to seem scary but her intentions are good

Also lots of power level head canons.
-Marisa is really strong. Comparable to Reimu and certainly stronger than most others. I feel like this is canon but I see her constantly being portrayed as weak in doujins which ticks me off.
-Yuuka is just above average strong.
-Yukari is also above average strong but can be close to invincible if she has the time to prepare boundaries.
>>
Yuuka from PoFV is just like her old PC98 self, a goofball. She just gets a kick out of spooking people with her reputation, so she acts the part.

Yoshika's arms aren't stuck like that.

>>
>>15023207
I like theories that involve Seihou, they please me.

Here's my own shitty headcanon based on it:

Marisa eventually becomes a youkai and gains immortality. Reimu becomes a celestial or divine being or some shit and also acquires immortality, and this is how they're alive in the SG extra.

VIVIT gets lost in Gensokyo, and VIVIT-r is created as a replacement.
>>
>>15022740
Marisa's hat is a Bag of Holding.
>>
>>15021881
No, I'm sure there's even worse out there.
>>
-Okuu's acquisition of nuclear fusion is actually Hecatia's master plan of acquiring a sun to provide shadows for her own hells, using Kanako as a mere proxy.

-Marisa's power pales in comparison to much of the cast, but able to deal with them by outsmarting them, akin to how Batman deals with his enemies.

-Dindu fortune teller still lives and is very much hiding somewhere in a dark place.

-Sumireko is not Renko's alternate self, but a relative of some sort. Most likely sister or mother.
>>
>>15021531

I've put the more controversial ones in spoilers.

>Patchouli is from Moscow, and Remilia rescued her and her library by showing what her fate would be had she remained during the Russian Civil War. Had she remained, she would've been executed by the Soviets for being a dangerous intellectual, and all her books destroyed.
>Patchouli Knowledge is not her real name, but a smartass nickname given by Remilia. She insists that Koakuma call her by her real name, Sofiya Constantinovna Voronina.
>Remilia often makes outrageous demands of Patchouli, and justifies them by saying how she saved Patchouli in 1917. Patchouli is thinking about making Remilia believe she is mortal peril just to "save" her and stop Remilia from using that excuse.

>Reimu is named after the first shrine maiden of Gensokyo. When both mikos are mentioned in any document, Reimu is referred to as Reimu Hakurei II
>The Hakurei miko is the daughter or closest female relative of the previous one. Yukari and Ran arrange the miko's marriages according to what they feel would produce the best daughter, but also prevent the miko from coming after them.
>Every single Hakurei miko had a Kirisame assistant, ranging from mages to swordsmen. Marisa's father didn't want her learning magic because he feared that she would die in Hakurei service like a lot of Kirisames have, including his sister.
>At one point, the Hakurei miko married a Kirisame male, making Reimu and Marisa distant cousins.
>Reimu's mother was actually homosexual, and resented both her husband and her daughter. She was borderline abusive to both.
>Reimu's mother and Marisa's aunt were extermination partners, and also lovers. Marisa's aunt committed seppeku when Reimu's mother died, and Yukari was her second. She wasn't a true samurai, but she looked and acted like one, much like how Marisa looks and acts like a witch.
>Reimu's mother was known as "The Merciless" and many youkai celebrated her death.
>Reimu will be the only Hakurei miko not to die in battle. Marisa will find herself unable to continue without her, and commits suicide a few years afterwards via an explosives "accident."

>Before becoming Sakuya Izayoi, she was named Ilse Wetterman.
>She was formerly a Nazi commando, who lost all hope for a better world after WW2. She travelled to Hungary to kill as many Soviets as she could before dying, only to meet Remilia who convinced her not to go through with it. The fact that she made it that far from Berlin shows what kind of soldier she was.
>She gained time powers when Gensokyo's barrier was weakened following the Hiroshima bombing. She altered her own time to age slower, but insists on not completely stopping it. She was 26 in 1945, and today she appears to be approaching her 30's
>Sakuya and Momiji would get along pretty well and have a lot in common.

>Reisen was formerly a sergeant major of a special forces squad of the Lunar Army.
>Reisen murdered three political officers during her desertion. She believes they had it coming.
>Reisen still holds a grudge against Neil Armstrong, and blames him for the war.
>Quite a few Vietnam war casualties were in fact Lunar War casualties, placed there as part of a cover-up.
>Officially, the Lunarians surrendered when the US bluffed them into thinking the Soviet Union was going to join the war on the US side. In actuality, the US was much worse off, and the Soviets would've sooner joined the Lunarians, had the Lunarians asked.

>Yukari will only die when the human race dies out, because what keeps her alive is not a belief in youkai, but a fear of the unknown. In fact, during the end of the world Yukari will become even more powerful.
>Yukari was Reimu's wet nurse, which is why Reimu is extremely powerful.
>Reimu's father attempted to begin an affair with Yukari, but she politely rejected him. Reimu spent her teenage years fuming that Yukari could have stolen her dad from her.
>Yukari is concerned that Reimu is still unmarried, and constantly nags her about it.

Most of these are just because I get bored easily, or because I played too much CK2.
>>
Most 2hus aren't really that sexually active.
>>
Yukari is actually a Kogasa-tier dork when it comes to scaring people, see SSiB.

There's a connection between Mary having special eyes and Yukari's gaps being full of eyes.

>>15023498
I actually see Yuka as the strongest youkai around currently. She is relatively docile unless annoyed or crossed and beats down the target without mercy. She only uses a small portion of her strength which is completely overpowering compared to everyone else

Alice is also a top tier character who rarely goes all out but more like she over analyzes and thinks too much to fight effectively. MAlice isn't a think and Alice just considers Marisa as an annoying neighbor and Marisa considers Alice another target

Marisa is stronger than Reimu. Reimu just has more natural talent. Reimu actually trains but not nearly as much as Marisa

Sana doesn't train and her power by herself is significantly weaker than Reimu's. Kanako and Suwako l has to assist for her to be relevant.

Yukari is Meribell after she gets lost in a gap while searching for Gensokyo. She is trapped for hundreds of years before eventually making a land to live but when she left the gap to make it, she gapped back in time thus making the legend of Gensokyo that made her future/past self search for it. She is actually not that poweful, just her ability is broken. She's the inverse of Yuka in that sense

Daiyousei actually was able to throw so many knives at once because they were from traps she prepared before hand knowing Cirno likes to cause trouble with dangerous people.

Now this is my kind of autism.
Starting with the PC98 series.
Touhou 1:
- Shingyoku is the Hakurei god and attacks Reimu to test her abilities.
- Mima's clothes looks like a school uniform. It makes me think that she is a student who was spirited away.
- Konngara was the 4th Deva until some unknown circumstances sent her to hell.

Touhou 2:
- Marisa paints her hair red so she can look "edgier" like her master Mima.
- The dream world is the same as the one that appears in subsequent games.

Touhou 3:
I actually have a really big headcanon about Yumemi and her world but I'll save it for later.

Touhou 4:
- Orange actually dies.
- Kurumi and Elly are Yuuka's maids/servants.
- Yuuka's master spark is really for killing unlike Marisa's light show.
- Gengetsu and Mugetsu feed off of Yuuka's dreams and because of that knows some of Yuuka's bullet types and even the master spark.
- The moon that appeared in the extra stage dream world is the same one that will appear in LoLK.

Touhou 5:
- Marisa learned to shoot a little version of Yuuka's Master Spark. Its her bomb in the game.
- Shinki could continue fighting the heroines but she risks destroying Makai so she loses on purpose.
- Magician Youkai age when their magical power grows. The reason why Alice looks older in PCB is because she got a huge boost of energy from the Grimoire.
>>
>>15024449
Now to Touhou 6-10
EoSD:
- Rumia was the first one to use the Spell Card Rule (SCR).
- Cirno dies and regenerates every time she loses against Reimu and Marisa.
- Patchy was the one who thought Remilia a spell to conjure up the scarlet mist.
-Koakuma is from Makai.
- Sakuya is half Lunarian half human. She her mother was probably banished from the Lunar Capital and she gained mortality and married a human. However, her powers remain.

PCB:
- Letty is easily a stage 5 boss at least when a real winter season shows up.
- Chen was practicing how to control her cat army in Mayohiga when the Playables encountered her.
- Alice cut off her ties to Makai and began a new life.
- Youmu's slash speed is actually the fastest non-teleporting speed in Touhou. Faster than Aya.
- Youki is actually dead. Yuyuko told Youmu he's gone missing to not make her sad.
- Yuyuko is actually a cunning mastermind and the bubbly personality is just an act.

IN:
- Wriggle is actually good at martial arts and the kick isn't just a meme.
- Keine hides her identity as a half beast but her rumored hakutaku side is treated like a superhero by her students.
- The bamboo forest battle is witnessed by Mokou and Kagerou.
- Inaba actually has PTSD flashbacks of when she was still a soldier. She is also one of the strongest stage 5 boss but seems easy because she was ganged on by the 4 teams.
- Mokou kills every assassin that Kaguya throws at her.

PoFV:
- Medicine knows Alice personally or at least wants to meet her and talk about dolls.
- Yuuka can't use her Master Spark anymore because of the SCR.
- Eiki actually defeats all of the characters and gave them a proper scolding.

MoF:
- The Aki sisters have their own store that sells/gives crops to humans in exchange for faith.
- Nitori only shows her greedy personality to someone after she gets to know them.
- Momiji was actually surprise attacked so she seems as weak as a midboss.
- Sanae was bullied in the outside world so she moved to Gensokyo.
- Kanako isn't actually stronger than Suwako. Its just that her power negates Suwako's power.
>>
>>15024512
Please don't forget about Yukarin!!!
>>
Bare heads are a slight social faux pas for girls in Gensokyo, just like how being hatless was in the Western world for men for decades. Partially because it is awkward for flying, but it also has connotations with being human/mundane/poor. Body parts such as horns/ears indicate nonhumanism/special power so that's fine. Even those who don't really care have token ribbons etc to prevent questions.

-Kaguya does not give a fuck because of her lifespan and attitude. (Mokou also doesn't care but needs the ribbons to keep all that hair under control) A few hundred years ago she probably would have had some elaborate Lunarian stuff on though.
-Yuuka purposefully does not as a statement of her strength and the respect she enforces.
-Kogasa likes the small surprise benefit
-Nue finds it interferes with disguises but is also not too fussed about being social.
-Parsee is something of a social outcast so doesn't bother.
-Raiko was animated without one and her formative experiences were in the outside world so she never really bothered to get one.
>>
I think Yuuka is not a Youkai at all in reality, but some sort of primal nature spirit. Eiki says that she's really/too old, which she doesn't even say to Tewi who is ancient. So, Yuuka is a nature spirit associated with flowers like a fairy but moreso and less stupid. An astonishingly powerful 'fairy' with truly ridiculous physical strength who is older than a 4000 year old legend but still much like a fairy. It explains her flighty nature and seeming ressurection, though it does kind of contradict ZUN calling her a youkai, so, retarded headcanon.

Utsuho is smarter than she lets on and just plays dumb to catch people off guard.

The Hakurei family doesn't actually exist -- each Hakurei miko is just a girl with talent stolen away at a young age (presumably by Yukari) and indoctrinated to believe that she is the current miko's daughter. It would prevent a sudden end to the bloodline in violence from unraveling Yukari's plans, and she's not really the kind to leave things to chance.
>>
>>15024512
Touhou 11-15
SA:
- Yuugi and the other Oni were banished to the underworld by the Tengu, persumably with the help of Yukari.
- Yamame acts like a big sister to Kisume.
- Satori is actually really powerful but she lacks creativity so she only has one natural spell.
- Orin freeloads at Reimu's shrine frequently after this incident, becoming regulars like Marisa, Suika and eventually Shinmyoumaru.
- Okuu actually tries to kill Reimu and Marisa but her bullets are too big and slow to hit them so she was defeated.
- Koishi is no longer a Satori, but a Nurarihyon. In fact, this is how I imagine how Nurarihyons are in Touhou until they are properly introduced.

UFO:
- Nazrin is the strongest stage 1 boss (besides Yuyuko) to ever appear in game.
- Kogasa's power grows when its darker. This is probably why she was extra midboss level in the end of the game where its evening.
- Ichirin is the most active out of Byakuren's group, doing most of the tasks and chores.
- Murasa never really got over her urge to sink boats. It just so happens that Gensokyo doesn't have oceans/seas, hence no boats.
- Shou is actually weak without her magical Pagoda. She would probably be a stage 2-3 boss.
- Byakuren is a close friend of Shinki and learned magic from her.

TD:
- Youmu got her haircut by Yuyuko.
- The game seems easy because the protags had gone to Makai so had their skills and magic improve significantly. I don't know how to explain Youmu though.
- Seiga's spell card actually uses real fetuses and not just for show.
- Tojiko knows Mokou's clan but doesn't know her personally.
- Miko uses flashy spells to impress rather than defeat someone so she seems easy in the game.
- Nue can break through the barrier. This is why she was able to contact Mamizou.
- Mami could also break the barrier but find it comfortable in Gensokyo so she stays.

DDC:
- There is a mermaid kingdom in Misty Lake.
- Kagerou has a human form but never appears because of the Miracle Mallet.
- Yatsuhashi, Benben and Raikou get their power from those Taiko arcade games.
- Seija is actually the most talented danmaku duelist ever. She cheats when facing a fair fight against Reimu in DDC but when everyone hunts her down in ISC, she doesn't use her items and fights all of them using normal danmaku.

LoLK:
- Ringo is as talented as Reisen. She only lost because she was lazy.
- Doremy is Gen and Mugetsu's boss and also Yuuka's former landlord. She is a dimensional ruler equivalent to that of Shinki and Yukari so she is actually very powerful.
- Sagume once fell in love with a youkai that went to war in Yukari's army in the Lunar Invasion. She later gave birth to the first Amanojaku. The Lunar elders got hold of this news and banished the child to earth and instead of banishing Sagume, they punished her by cutting off one of her wings.
- Clownpiece didn't lie when she said she was stronger than a Kishin in her pre-battle dialogue.
- Junko never actually met Chang'e but only heard rumors about her. She probably doesn't know that Chang'e is currently a frog.
- Hecatia is a being that is higher that any of the known Touhou characters. She controls all matters concerning hell and is the boss of every Yama. She can however do whatever she likes because ther is no one to punish her. This is why she agreed to attack the Lunar Capital even though they did nothing wrong.

That all about the games. I've got a bunch of others but my autism can only go so much.

-Remilia never really cared about the whole icident she made. She just wanted to have some fun, get attention and annouce that new badass came to gensokyo

-Remilia is canonically strongest character, because of her powers

-Sakuya was bullied because of her powers by other humans. They might tried to hurt or even kill her, but Remilia saved her.

-Flandre went on rampage destroying old place where SDM used to be, thats why SDM teleported to gensokyo

-Remilia is known in hell and can summon demons. She also gave patchouli koakuma to serve

>>15024627
The last ones are about Renko and Maribel.
- Renko is the descendant of Sumireko. Her family is gifted with supernatural powers since generations ago and the ones who have them inherits the Usami name. However, her power seems lackluster compared to Sumireko's telekinesis so she decides to study the occult to better understand her powers. She becomes obsessed with Gensokyo when she finds Sumireko's old journal/diary/photos/whatever.
- Maribel is sent to Japan by her parents because they are afraid of her ability. She makes occasional comments when she was younger that she can see when someone is about to die, or seeing ghosts and other dimensions. She is also ignored by her friends because of her ability, bullying her and the like. She stays by Renko because she is the only one that is intrigued by her ability.
- Renko and Maribel's world is extremely Xenophobic as evidenced when they put Maribel in quarantine after events Trojan Green Asteroid. When Maribel and Renko's adventures become more frequent, I have a headcanon that goverment agents are sent to monitor theme.
- Maribel's power probably grew as time pass by. The Izanagi objects she and Renko were searching for at the end of NToJ could probably trigger her power to become even more potent until she accidentally gapped herself into Gensokyo's past. Trapped and alone, she tries to get out but to no avail. Eventually, she came to terms with the fact that she can't go back and accepts her new life. She then trained and developed her powers until she can control it properly. By that time, she probably can go back to Renko but being no longer human, she abandons all her previous humanity and becomes the Yukari we all know.
- Renko becomes distraught that Maribel is gone and can't come back. She tried many occult methods but failed, so she tried to turn to science. But, having being monitored because of her odd adventures and her wish is a very odd one, she got expelled from her University before she can do anything. She tries again and re-enrolls with a fake identity Yumemi Okazaki. I made this one years ago to explain why Yumemi was so obsessed with going to a magical realm and why she was shunned when she proposed the theory of magic. The rest of the story is Yumemi building the Hyperspace vessel and going to Gensokyo in the PC98 era with Chiyuri and the events of PoDD.
That's all from me. Sorry for the cancer if you got one from my posts.
>>
Yumemi succeeded in proving magic to futuristic humanity and Gensokyo has been under outsider observation ever since.

Stacojiu family is one of the noble houses in Romania during the end of Vlad Draculea?epe? III's reign. At this time, Vlad is a master of Dark magic practitioner and a powerful one to boot. Vlad managed to cast a resurrection spell on himself as an assurance against his enemies. The other nobles fear him and betrayed him in the end after he insisted ruling for a long time and continuing his campaign against the Turkish. The head of Scatojiu is the one who proposed the betrayal and persuaded the other noble houses to join him. While sending him to the hand of executioner, Vlad cursed the Stacojius and promised that one day that he will get his vengeance. And he did... years later he was resurrected but not as a human, the spell had it's own price. Of course he became a powerful dark blood-drinker sorcerer and adopted the moniker Dracula. The Scatojiu family eventually were getting massacred on their castle. Somehow he spared Remi and Flan, the head's daughters, and turned them into Vampire as a final insult to the Stacojiu's bloodline. Then Dracula was never seen again. After the family's castle was destroyed, the sister moved to the safe house that was created by their father and hide in there, which later became SDM. But Dracula gave too much power to the young Flan and as a result, she became unstable, which prompted Remi to lock her in underground basement to keep her from going ballistic.

Patchouli is one of the Johannes Trithemius young apprentice in Alchemy. She gained occult and magic knowledge from his peers (Cornelius Agrippa and Paracelsus). Her father is one of the Scatojiu's librarian and also a magic practitioner. He authored many of magic and occult-related books and placed them in Scatojiu's safe house (which became SDM latter). She joined Sakuya in search of SDM to claim her father's legacy.

Sakuya - Born japanese, her birth was said as a blessing from kami Konohana Sakuya after her parents devotion to the goddess. But after a rebellion swoop down the area and her parents died because of it, she was kidnapped by Lunarian and brought to the moon. She became a test subject for time & space-related experiment, which later she developed her own power. Eirin is one of the Lunarian scientist that observed her progress. This experiment is illegal according to the Lunarian standards so those who worked in this must do this in absolute secrecy. When the experiment was compromised by the Lunarian authorities, the participants decided to cryo-freeze her and hide her. Hundred years later, the cryo-freeze capsule ceased functioning and woke Sakuya from her deep slumber. She escaped from the Moon & the Lunarians by using one of their vehicle and crashed on the Balkan region. She was found and adopted by Abraham van Helsing, whom then trained her to become a Vampire hunter. With her time power developed and she decided to train & hone it, she became an accomplished vampire hunter and was known to never fail on her task.

During one of he tasks to hunt a certain child vampires in Romania, she was aided by Patchouli. They founded the abandoned mansion and battled against Remi and Flan. Sakuya was defeated and submitted her loyalty to the Scarlet Devil, while Patchouli still managed to stand on her own and refused to submit, even tough her illness returned on the mid of battle. Remi decided to give a new name for Sakuya, which is what we are calling her now. Patchouli was given permission from Remi to claim her library and stayed here, since she knew her father is one of Patchouli's father's friend.

Still lacking for Meiling's and Koakuma's backstory tough.

Renko isn't Sumireko's descendant. We've all been wrong.

One day, Sumireko comes into contact with her dream bubble while in Gensokyo. This doesn't cause death as implied, but as a result Sumireko becomes stuck in Gensokyo while her doppelganger takes her place in the real world.

However, doppelgangers are imperfect. This one doesn't age or ages very slowly, explaining how Renko can appear as a college student some years in the near future. She's also only a vague manifestation of Sumireko, only maintaining a couple similar traits like her curiosity, name, appearance, etc., and having few memories, especially the longer time goes on or the longer they've been separated.

Furthermore, as I think Maribel becomes Yukari, she simply couldn't interfere, whether she chose to or not, when Sumireko threatened Gensokyo. Maribel needs to meet Renko to become Yukari to create Gensokyo and so on, so taking action would have risked Renko actually existing, which would have caused a time paradox.

Gensokyo is a pararell world to our own, the reason Clownpiece exists is because USA (in our reality) has gone completely mad and they lost their freedom, or rather forgot about it as a country. forgotten things and people end up in Gensokyo as we all know. The invasion of lunarians can be compared (spoiler for /pol/ reference) to flooding of immigrants everywhere. Also >Clown< Piece is her name because USA became a laughing stock because of their unpaidable debt and constant failures in everything.

She's a hell fairy who saw the American flag on the moon, liked the design, then made her clothes after it. It also triggers Lunarians as well, so that helps too. She wasn't told to wear it to piss off Lunarians, if just kind of naturally did that.

I like to believe that her clothing is actually the American flag that she took from the moon. Her stage was in the Sea of Tranquility where the flag was plated and this is the only time she's been on the moon. Maybe she wore that because Hecatia made her wear unfashionable clothing and she ditched that the first chance she got

Humans are essentially cattle and Keine is the rancher.

The near future outside world that Maribel and Renko live in is currently going through scientific and technological boom, and soon technology will reach the power of magic in a few decades.

The best way of understanding the Second Day in genesis 1 is Elohim creating a "bubble" in the infinitely large and infinitely deep ocean which was the universe. He then created a solid firmament (i.e. what humans call "sky") to keep that bubble intact. It's less about manipulating boundaries and more about being a cosmic glassblower.

-Gensokyo has Christianity religion
-Gensokyo was based from Kyoto
-Flandre was possessed by the devil and gain an ability to destroy everything the reason why remilia lock her because there is nothing to do to remove the devil inside of her.
-Alice has a hidden basement inside her house that contains gunpowders.
-Humans age last 500 years or more in gensokyo.

-The future of the outside world is the same world in Seihou.
-Technology is so advanced it might as well be magic.
- Yumemi comes from about the same era as Seihou and Maribel and Renko's time period where natural vegetation is all but gone and mankind has to rely on artificial ones.
- Yumemi is actually Vivit's mother and Erich's wife. This could explain their fascination with nuclear powered robot maids and also Vivit's dark red hair and eyes.
- From the theory above, the future world is extremely xenophobic so when Erich conducts the Cactus experiment decades before Seihou 1, someone sabotaged the experiment leading to Erich's deformation and Vivit being sent to another dimension.
- Yumemi was also in the experiment, but she didn't get hurt but instead gained mystical powers. When she found out that her daughter was sent to another dimension, she became furious and vowed to take revenge against the xenophobic society as the magician Muse. This could explain the similarity between their danmaku (using crosses) and them being the final boss of their respective Phantasmagoria games. Muse (Yumemi) being Erich's wife could also explain their awkward dialogue in Kioh Gyoku.
Other Seihou theory:
- Marisa being a youkai at the end of SG's extra stage is very obvious. The fact that she still looks young and has wings makes me think she already became a Magician Youkai.
- As for Reimu, she either became so powerful that she turns into an immortal god or became so hermit like and detached from the world that she ascended into a Celestial.
- The Yuuka in Kioh Gyoku is one of the strongest characters in Touhou and Seihou combined if her gaining the ultimate magic and her only appearing in her route thus making her the only undefeated character in Kioh Gyoku shows.
-VIVIT is based off of Ruukoto.
- Gensokyo is hit by a major disaster in the future since the only part we see of it in Seihou is just a big lake with the Hakurei shrine in the middle.
- Non-living things like phones, books, toys and robots can bypass the Hakurei barrier. This could explain why Rinnosuke has so much outside world junk and why VIVIT could accidentally wondered into Gensokyo.

I love theories that involve Yumemi and Seihou, but I have reason to believe your theory with Erich and Yumemi is untrue. Assuming that the canon endings for the Touhou games is after you successfully 1cc the game, Yumemi should end up back in Gensokyo after being kicked out of the university again. And since Ruukoto is powered by nuclear energy, that means that cactus energy has not been created or mastered yet.

Now, your theory is pretty viable EXCEPT for the fact that it is implied that Yumemi stays in Gensokyo for good after PoDD, and Yumemi is only 18 in the game. Unless Erich comes into Gensokyo and knocks her up, I don't think that Yumemi could have any relations with Erich.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but I feel like it would be unlikely for Yumemi to get impregnated by a student when she's 18, especially when students students of that time period graduate from graduate school at 13.

Yumemi is my favorite 2hu, but I think her affairs in the outside world sort of cease after PoDD, as she goes back to Gensokyo. However, it never explicitly says she STAYS there though, although it was implied Yumemi and Chiyuri sort of gave up with the outside world after being kicked out again.

I don't Maribel is Yukari, but a descendant of Yukari.

Maribel even said her ability is from her lineage going back to "ancient times". Yukari's lived so long, it's not hard to imagine that she probably had a family with a human long ago.

>Mystic Square was not just an incident, but the end of a long war between Makai and Gensokyo that had been going on for the entire PC-98 era.
>Yukari engineered the war to quell humanity's warlike urges, much like she had done with youkai in the Genso-Lunar War. However, she didn't account for just how fiercely Makai would fight back, or that the humans would be so determined to win. In the end, she actually lost control of the conflict which is why she no longer uses war as a tool to influence populations.
>The war caused a massive gender imbalance as a lot of Gensokyo's men were killed.
>Vina was the site of a protracted siege. That is why by the time Reimu passes through, they're just the Ruins of Vina.
>Marisa was involved in the war as a mercenary. She built her house using the pay she earned. Mima kept most of it though.
>During Shinki's fight, the fire seen in the background is actually Makai City being firebombed. Shinki surrenders when Makai City is burned to the ground because she realises that there's no point fighting any longer if her entire capital is destroyed.
>The MS Extra Stage is Alice attempting to keep fighting the war even though Makai has long lost.
>Alice still holds a grudge against Reimu for the war. She only pretends to be friendly because Marisa is Reimu's friend, and it's less about being friendly with Marisa, but not pissing her off.
>Makai is now a complete shithole in a three-way civil war, and Hokkai during UFO is one of the only areas still under Shinki's control. The enemies you fight during Stage 6 are Makai Army loyalists who are shitting themselves at the thought of Reimu coming back. They're shooting to kill, and Reimu kills a lot of them.
>Makai is now divided into the Federal Republic of Makai, North Makai Federation, and Loyalist Makai.
>When Reimu mentions that being in Makai is the reason why she feels so horrible, it's because what she did in the Makai War still haunts her today, and the reason she ultimately began writing the Spell Card Rules.
>Only Reimu knows the truth about the war, and Yukari has threatened something to keep her quiet about it.

I also like to believe that by the end of it, Marisa seriously considered joining Alice and the Makai remnant forces because she completely understood why Alice was so pissed off at Reimu in particular, after personally seeing what Reimu did and ordered, such as the Makai City firebombing.

Reimu and Marisa wouldn't talk to each other until about a month before the Scarlet Mist, four years later. In those four years, Marisa helped Alice hide in the Forest of Magic, and that's why Marisa and Alice sometimes work together in Windows.

Even Yukari thought Reimu's tactics were unnecessarily cruel to Makai's civilian population. The soldiers returning from the war were heavily disrespected for going along with it, and basically nobody in the Village wants to admit they were a part of it. Reimu's unpopularity in the village is partly due to her role of ordering it all to happen.

It was basically the Belkan War from Ace Combat Zero. Started off as a border conflict, ended with massive destruction and everyone completely fucking horrified at what happened.

I've thought about making a fangame based on this headcanon.

EOSD-Flandre doesn't live all the time in the basement but instead she fools everyone in the mansion, then she goes out and do long walks. She is also the cause of massive extinction in the outside world.

PCB, You are able to defeat Yukari because she was half-sleep

IN- Mokou's power is enough to run straight to any team and explode herself turnig her in the most hardly EXboss ever, but she doesn't it because she is too kind.

MF- Sanae is not longer a virgin because she was raped and her family murdered some time ago and she barely saved herself due to her miracle powers. Suwa and Kana feel bad for her and erased until certain point her memory...

SA - Yukari didn't go to underground by herself because she was worried to Satori could read all of her evil plans about Reimu and the Youkais who living there.
plus, Kanako was punished by Yukari some time later.

UFO- Byakuren still betraying humanas and Youkais in order to get more and more power. she is also the biggest hypocrite living in Gensokyo.

TD- Miko is the only choice if we're talking about surviving in Gensokyo... she is the only who could save you to be eaten, the only able to teach you how to fight Youkais and also the only who easily would let fuck if you ask her.

DDC. An human can fuck and pregnant ichilings, but since Shinmyoumaru is still a kid we can't her yet.

Suwako is still a virgin. She saw mothers and children interacting and started wanting that kind of relationship as well so she found a pregnant woman, infused some of her powers and dna into the unborn child, and killed the mother shortly after birth. She tried raising the child fir a few years but eventually gave up and left it at a shrine. A priest then raises the child but Suwako, still feeling attachment, regularly visits the child. No one but it can see her and it grows up to have children of it's own who can also see Suwako and catry a porion of her powers.

Hirano is what Reimu could have been if she actually trained to hone her powers instead of lazing around. The fact that she could beat VIVIT-r, who is said to be an even stronger version of VIVIT, makes me think that her natural danmaku prowess is higher than those of Reimu. Or it could be that she can summon her god's (Gyoku) power much more effectively considering she is presumably much closer to her god than Reimu ever was with the Hakurei god.
>>
>>15030026
As much as I like Seihou, something about Banshiryuu just makes it feel illegitimate. I think the addition of Hirano seemed like an attempt to capitalize on Touhou's popularity. Seihou was made to be the opposite of Touhou, so I just think it's kind of dumb to make a Reimu ripoff. Not to mention the lack of ZUN doing the OST made it feel generic as all hell.

I'd have to agree with that. Shuusou Gyoku was wonderful, especially the extra. I actually like the extra more than any Touhou extra.

The gameplay was just too fun (except the Morgan fight, fuck her and those green circles).

Alice is very fond of Yumeko, treating her like the coolest big sister though occasionally she feels jealous of her being Shinki's favourite creation.

In Touhou 1, the 2 routes are canon. Reimu goes to hell first as her initiation ritual in becoming the new Hakurei Miko. The Makai route happens afterwards when demons from Makai flee to Gensokyo. Reimu found out that Makai was invaded by the angel Sariel and proceeds to resolve the incident.

Speaking of HRtP, Shingyoku was the Hakurei god all along. Defeating it was a part of the test every Hakurei shrine maiden has to do. Once they prove themselves, Shingyoku turns into the Yin-Yang orb until the next Hakurei shrine maiden shows up.

Sagume rarely attacks using spells but instead uses the Yin-yang drones in a manner similar to that of Funnels in Gundam. In reality, she is actually more powerful than the Watatsukis and the only true spell attack we see of her is her final Spell Card.

This isn't just my theory, or so I've been told. But personally, I subscribe to the theory that Izayoi Sakuya was originally a vampire hunter sent to eradicate the vampires in the SDM, a la Castlevania. Remilia, how ever, managed to get Sakuya under her mind controlling spell and has had a hold on her ever since.

My favourite headcanon is that Shiki Eiki still wields a shakujou/Buddhist monk staff occasionally. She used to be a jizou who was promoted into a Yama, so my guess is that she still possesses her old weapon, and might use it alongside her rod of remorse in fights.

Flandre is free to roam around the mansion and her playmates are Marisa and Reimu that occasionally go to SDM (More of Marisa).

Spell cards rules are enforced mainly because Genskoyo is generally under populated. Occasionally you get Nosfertau cases, when it is possible to murder a criminal. The reason why is that the youkai never really feel the indeed to reproduce and the humans have a higher morality right. Half breeds are quite rare.

There's a parallel universe Gensokyo called SWAGsokyo.
Rap battles replaces danmaku
Reimu is a pimp
Sanae and Aya are her hookers
Youkai feed off energy gathered from stolen bikes and fried chicken.
Yukari maintains her youthful looks with bling.
Alice has been owned over 100 times and is a complete shut in.
Everyone, male or female, wants to dunk Alice, and most do.
Marisa is black and every else too .
Rinnosuke is a dealer.
Nitori has a stranglehold on the watermelon market.
The game events still happen, but for different reasons, e.g EoSD is about Remilia expanding her hood to get more fairy hookers and weed crops.

Gensokyo is linked to Reimu, not Yukari, so Yukari's death shouldn't affect anything.
The worst thing that would happen is the power vacuum that Yukari's death would cause. Ran seems like the best candidate to take over her position, but some other Youkai may try to take her place instead. Yuyuko is intellegent enough, but I doubt she would want to. Maybe Mamizou? She's already very active, and knows how to manipulate people.

I actually have a few about how some characters die.

>Reimu dies peacefully in her sleep, the only Hakurei miko to not die in battle.
>Marisa, who had become a youkai, blows herself up shortly after in a explosives "accident."
>Sanae dies of old age surrounded by her large family and beloved goddesses. Her sect becomes the dominant Shinto sect of Gensokyo, ultimately subjugating the Hakurei shrine. This contributes to Gensokyo's ultimate destruction.
>Reisen, after one prank from Tewi caused her to use her own power on herself and start seeing her dead squadmates everywhere, shoots herself in Tewi's bedroom with her service rifle, her suicide note a half-incomprehensible drunken mess alternately blaming the US, Tewi, the USSR, Tewi, the Lunar Army, her own cowardice, and Tewi for everything that went wrong in her life in that order.
>Yukari dies at the side of the last human on Earth as he himself dies, happy she kept youkai-kind alive for as long as possible. She will be the last youkai in the Universe, even outlasting the Lunarians. Her only regret is not having Ran by her side to serve sake.
>Sakuya dies of old age, having lived over three centuries as a meta-human. Remilia never replaces her, too grief-stricken to consider it.
>Patchouli's illness worsens and she dies at her desk. Remilia is never the same after.
>Youmu, old and infirm, leaves her swords to her successor and disappears like Youki did.

I like to link PC98 2hu, Windows 2hu, and Seihou (except Banshiryuu, which really wouldn't be relevant anyways) all together.

Obviously PC98 comes first, before spellcard rule. Reimu isn't very powerful yet. PoDD is important to connecting Touhou with Seihou, some I'll come back to that in a little bit.

Then comes Windows, where spellcard rule and whatnot has been established. Reimu is pretty powerful at this point (muh fantasy nature) and still a mortal. Marisa is also a mortal, and has a growing interest in immortality.

Now, time for the real world.

Renko and Maribel's stories occur in the near future, where the world's technology is beginning to flourish. Renko is a descendent of Sumeriko, and Maribel's boundary powers are strengthening at an alarming rate. Sooner or later, they are separated, as Maribel gaps herself to Gensokyo's past, and eventually becomes Yukari. The grand unified theory is established around this point.

Farther in the future comes Yumemi and Chiyuri's time. The grand unified theory I well respected, and kids as young as 13 or 14 are graduating from graduate school. (This may or may not be happening in Renko and Maribel's time) Yumemi, a well known professor, is working on her own theory, focussing on real magic, not the artificial magic which the outside world has created. (Which is becoming powerful enough that Yumemi and Chiyuri are powerful enough to fight on equal or even higher grounds than the rest of the PoDD cast) Yumemi has created the Possibility Space Hypervessel, which is able to travel to other worlds. She finds out about Gensokyo (Perhaps from Renko?) and travels to it to take back an example of true magic, and get revenge on the rest of the world. At the end of PoDD, she returns to the outside world for whatever reason, and then promptly comes back to Gensokyo, presumably for good this time.

Now, there's one important thing that is often overlooked: the existence of Ruukoto. Her existence helps us pinpoint what time period Yumemi comes from. The world is clearly more advanced than Renko and Maribel's, yet Ruukoto is still nuclear powered while still being cutting edge. This means that cactus energy still does not exist, is still being developed, or is not widely used yet.

In Seihou, Erich has created VIVIT and she uses cactus energy, meaning that it has been discovered for a decent amount of time. I would go out on a limb and assume that it has been at least a decade since Vivit was trapped in the other dimension device. Erich may or may not have been a student of or known Yumemi, which could possibly be his inspiration for making VIVIT. It could have been a coincidence that they both made robot maids though.

Here's where it gets unclear:
In Shuusou Gyoku, it is very obvious that SOMETHING has happened to Gensokyo and it's barriers. The fact that VIVIT and many hostile robots were able to enter Gensokyo is very peculiar. It becomes even clearer that something has happened once you see that the Hakurei shrine appears to be somewhat submerged in a large lake. Marisa also may have finally achieved youkai status, hence her wings and extremely long lifespan. Reimu also must have become more powerful, as she too is still alive many many years into the future. It assumed that VIVIT gets lost in Gensokyo shortly after the end of the extra stage, and does not return to the outside world.

Now, in Kioh Gyoku, VIVIT is back, but it seems like Shuusou Gyoku has already happened, hence VIVIT mentioning that Marie has sent her many love letters, that she has destroyed one of Milia's ships already, and that she uses Vivit to fight.

TL;DR Seihou happens in the far future of Touhou, Marisa becomes a Youkai, Reimu gains immortality and is more powerful than ever, and something fucked up Gensokyo and its barrier between it and the outside world. Future outside world technology is also on par with or even more powerful than magic.

That's just about it. Looking back it's stupid to see that I put in this much effort trying to prove that. Oh well. Autism works wonders.
>>
>>15069413
Also forgot to mention that Yuuka is possibly the physically strongest character between both series ( vague Yukari bullshit aside), as she goes undefeated in Kioh Gyoku, which involves defeating VIVIT, who also beat both Reimu AND Marisa.

It also appears that spellcard rule is gone, since there are no spellcards used in SG's extra. This may have to do with something happening to Yukari, since the barrier weakening also may be a result of this.
>>
>The girls do not want your dick. Period. Try and you'll lose it if you're lucky.

>Yukkuri are a thing. Abuse is only reserved for the worst of the worst shitheads and for the most part Gensokyo is an easy place for them.

>Technology is catching up with magic and it's catching up fast. Yukari can try her hardest to slow things down but humans on the outside WILL eventually learn about the barrier's existence and they will attempt to break it.

>Rin Satsuki was a real youkai and she played a role during the Scarlet Devil Incident. She has no history after something went down with Keine so she's now doomed to wander around as a forgotten spirit who will never ever be remembered.

>Sakuya wasn't a vampire hunter but a lost child who wandered into the SDM one day looking for a home. She agreed to work there in exchange for food and shelter and well, you know the rest.

It's the Romanian word for Scarlet.

Not that guy, but I used to have a similar headcanon about Stacojiu being their name before they Anglicised it to Scarlet. I dropped it after realising that Romanian vampires are a massive fucking cliche.

Also Romania was mostly part of the Ottoman Empire in the 1500s.

You know, I based this theory on the fact that Renko looks like Yumemi if you squint hard enough. I thought if ZUN released a new Renko art, her hair color would be back to her brow color rather than the occasional red tinge. I'm surprised that Renko's hair is actually a bit redder than I though.

>Flandre wishing to be more like Remis biological sister urges her to turn her into a youkai, however vampirism isn't able to be transmitted as in touhou it's a species not a condition
>Remi seeks out a powerful magician versed in taboo magic to convert Flan to being a youkai similar to a vampire using taboo magic (this magician may have been a contact through she had met patchouli)
>Flandre is converted into some form of an artificial vampire Youkai at age 10, however the ritual did succeed in turning her into a youkai, it came at the expense of her mental health and some of her memories, making her slightly unstable emotionally and unable to control her power. Because of sacrifice in humanity she suffered during the spell, it worked a little too well turning her into one of the strongest artificial youkai around
>Her wings are like that because inorganic parts are common to youkai that have been converted by taboo magic
>because of the brain damage sustained during the spell she doesn't fully remember the events during the orphanage and thinks Remi is her biological sister due to what she can remember of the events in the orphanage, she also can't seem to mature mentally past the age she was turned and has a hard time communicating, because of this she comes off odd.

Yukari is Hakurei Shrine deity.
Evidence 1: Hakurei shrine first purpose is to seal the border between Gensokyo and the Outside world. Which is exactly Yukari field of expertise.
Evidence 2 : Yukari has become lazy, giving all her responsibilities to Reimu and her Shikigamis. This can be a symptom of the lack of Faith.
Evidence 3 : Yukari isn't considered as a god, but as a simple yet powerful yokai. It matches with mountain of faith's prologue, where we learn that the Hakurei deity has become ignored by the god.
Evidence 3.5 : Maybe Yukari's attempt in Perfect Cherry Blossom to break the barrier was just a way to scare the gods.
Evidence 4 : in PFB extra stage, Yukari tells Reimu that she lives at the same place. So technically Yukari lives at Hakurei Shrine. She also says that the shrine is magnificent, like if she is really proud of it.

Don't forget that Reimu's been slowly adopting Yukari's abilities as the games progress. When you fight her in IN she's doing her own sort of border manipulation. Fast forward to Hopeless Masquerade, and Reimu's capable of moving from one side of the screen to the other, something that only Yukari could do in the other fighting games. Then in ULiL, Reimu's occult special is literally one of Yukari's skills from SWR, and the urban legend that Reimu takes on in that game is the very same urban legend that Yukari was based on.

Marisa's mother was a magician from the Outside World (specifically Poland) who decided to go to Makai to train. She got lost and ended up in Gensokyo instead. One day she met a young man from the human village, and they fell in love. They decided to get married and start a family, but only on the condition that she completely give up witchcraft and never so much as mention it again, and be as completely ordinary as any other villager. This worked out well for some years, until one day their young daughter, Marisa, discovered her mother's old things, and decided she too wanted to be a magician. This resulted in her father (who hated everything to do with magic) kicking her out of the house. After being kicked out, Marisa was taken in by Mima and started training. The rest follows from SoEW.

Mima herself was originally a human magician who was a good friend of a previous Hakurei shrine maiden. This ended when the miko grew paranoid, seeing possible youkai in everything. Concerned that Mima was growing too youkai-like, she killed her to prevent her from becoming a youkai. This backfired, as Mima became a vengeful ghost with a grudge against the Hakurei shrine, seeking to avenge her own death.

Sakuya Izayoi was a byproduct of human experiments conducted at the Lunar Capital. The goal was to manipulate human abilities so that they could become genetically engineered foot soldiers. Eirin Yagokoro was the scientist responsible for carrying out and conducting the experiments. Sakuya was kidnapped and made into the first and only test subject under this project.

Eirin's uncontested scientific prowess made Sakuya into a being that defied all known notions about humans. Her hair turned silver and eyes crimson red. There could have been millions of genetically enhanced humans at the will of the Lunar Captial, had things not turned out differently.

Despite the praise and opportunities this discovery could have created, Eirin didn't like the idea of the experiment. As she observed Sakuya, Eirin became more and more guilty for what she was doing. Eventually, she came to the conclusion that this "Debauchery of humanity" had to be nipped in the bud. She contacted Yukari to send the child away from the moon to Gensokyo where she wouldn't be found. When asked what happened to the test subject by the Lunarians, Eirin stated she was "spirited away through time", a concept that Watatsuki no Toyohime was more than familiar with. The experiment was declared a failure, and Sakuya reappeared in Gensokyo, eventually meeting the vampire Remilia Scarlet.

Several ideas that support this is the canon link between Eirin and Sakuya. Eirin showed surprise at seeing Sakuya in IN. No one actually knows where Sakuya came from, either. Some people have already come to a similar conclusion to mine as well, (pic related)
>>
>>15108234
TL;DR, Sakuya was a human that was experimented on to the point that she could manipulate time by Eirin. She was sent from Gensokyo so that no one would attempt something like that again

She manipulates time through her magic pocket watch though!

>>15108234
Sakuya met Remilia before the SDM crew came to Gensokyo. Sakuya's powers are dependent on her pocket watch. The idea of improving humans goes against everything we know about Lunarians.

Not improving, but manipulating. The experiments would be used to turn humans into mutants to fight against other humans. History has shown that often times nations would fight each other through mercenaries. Why waist your own people when you can get others to fight them for you?
>Sakuya met Remilia before the SDM crew came to Gensokyo
Do you have a reference to back this statement?
>>
>>15108285
It's never stated that it his her pocket watch that manipulates time. It could be a cataylst, however. Furthermore, normal humans cannot use danmaku, and Sakuya is not a magician nor shrine maiden, so where did her powers come from?

Is this just the expanded backstory of this anpn's theory? >>15024907

This is wrong, the watch only helps her concentrate afaik.

This is a theory that I actually like and find meaningful.

Of course, if you mean Reimu. Gengetsu never does this during her fight. It's just that both Fantasy Nature and Gengetsu's last attack are powerful techniques that are possible to beat only by some sort of restrictive condition (time limit for IN Reimu, lit all the seven orbs in SWR and "don't spend too much time to defeat Gengetsu or you better have a lot of bombs" in LLS).
There are differences, but I think it's the most similar thing to Fantasy Nature in the PC98 era. By the way, nothing in canon supports this theory, so feel free to ignore it. It's only that I like "Fantasy Nature" better than "Gengetsu Rape Time".

Shingyoku, besides being the Hakurei god(s), were also the first Hakureis. The human male priest marries the female Youkai and produced humans with the Youkai's potent magic. This could explain Reimu's natural talent. They probably gave birth to half youkai like Rinnosuke but lost their immortality as their descendants mated with normal humans until their youkai blood is all but gone. The only Youkai characteristics that remain are the Hakurei's immense magical prowess. On the other hand, if their immortality hadn't gone away and they died mostly due to battles, this could explain why Reimu is still alive at the end of Shuusou Gyoku.

>a pre-requisite to magic is to wear a silly hat and/or a robe

She's not a wizard, but yet uses magic. Her aproach to it is something more like a "stage magic"-fag. She named one of her spellcards "Misdirection", no?

I could be as wrong in this affair as I am right now, trying to argue with sakuya-fags

That'd be quite the twist, to reveal that Reimu was a long-living half-youkai all along. It'd explain why she doesn't seem to age, too.

I never said nor implied that a magician was defined by their clothing. I was saying that being a magician was not stated in her official profile that she is one. Nothing denies this statement, either. If her being a magician is your theory as to where her powers come from, then I respect that.

>I could be as wrong in this affair as I am right now, trying to argue with sakuya-fags

Not all sakuya-fags are intolerant bigots. I, for one, enjoy a good debate between people of opposing viewpoints.

I wasn't the anon you were talking to, but I assumed that he simply meant the borders she created during some of her cards.

I like the Shingyoku Hakurei god theory, but I have some questions. Assuming the PoDD sprite for Reimu's 4 power attack is Shingyoku in its ball form, she would be summoning a god to help her.

Didn't she only figure out how to summon gods in SSiB?

And if what she's summoning in PoDD ISN'T Shingyoku or a Hakurei deity, what is it?

well, PoDD is strange even for pc-98 in terms of lore example mOlti, ellen, my guess is that yin yang was a special barrier made by genji and unrelated with shingyoku

There are just as many male youkai as female youkai. They prefer, however, to settle disputes through hand-to-hand combat instead of "girly" danmaku.

>The Lunarians are oversensitive as hell to impurity as they considered a bunch of fairies trolling in front of their city to be a serious enough siege to flee.
>The Apollo missions were literally just the astronauts, no more, no less. The Lunarians called the whole thing a war because there were multiple landings. The astronauts came back alive because the US has already developed a plan to nuke the moon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_A119) and threatened to use it.

Spell card contracts have hidden clauses to domesticate youkai and control other spiritual beings, it's Reimu's Samson option.
