A video of me fighting against the saint mankind condemned, Byakuren Hijiri
Byakuren (the name tingles my mouth), is the Final boss of the game Undefined Fantastic Object, the 12th installment of the Touhou Project. The Touhou Project is a series of danmaku shoot'em ups created by ZUN where undefined fantastical girls fly through the sky writing the history of paradise with colorful and beautiful bullets.
Once upon a time, there was this monk, a beautiful and gentle girl with a heart and a conviction as pure as snow. She only wished for one thing: for human and demons to coexist peacefully. A good hearted dream, but ultimately dream. Since the days of old, human and youkai had been at odds with each other. Nothing less was expected from a predator and prey relationship. Youkai ate humans, human hunted youkai preemptively. Survival of the fittest, one of the most fundamental notions of reality.
Nevertheless, the human girl tried her best to reconcile humans and youkai. She embraced everybody regardless of species. Not all youkai ate human, so many youkai looked up to her as a beacon of hope in breaching this gap. But humans, on the other hand, started to slowly fear her. This girl wasn't a normal monk after all. This human was a youkai monk, who forsake her humanity out of fear of death. With the passage of time, human grew uneasy, until they finally sealed her in the demon realm, to be forgotten by time.
A thousand years later, the relationship between youkai and the majority of human is practically nonexistent. As mankind displaced their faith to science, most youkai, being dismissed as mere fantasy, sealed themselves inside Gensokyo, a magical land protected from the outside world by the Hakurei Barrier. Despite this, some human do live inside Gensokyo, in the Human Village. Inside the village, they are relatively safe from harmful youkai. But they've been warned. Outside the haven of the village, they are fair game. While some youkai had befriended humans, the confrontation between these two species persist and is up to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden to maintain the balance and keep youkai from overpowering humans. A thousand years has passed and the remaining followers of that monk, freed from their own imprisonment, now seek to return the favor to the monk as they approach the demon realm, Makai. They seek to free Byakuren Hijiri from her imprisonment.
Byakuren is in my opinion one of the most beautiful character in the series, platonically speaking. Platonic because most of her beauty lies on her personality and past, which is only rivaled by Yuyuko's in beauty. There I go again, using beauty without saying what it is. I can say at least that for me, beauty not only lies on image (that is pretty). It also lies on personality, origins, ideals, etc. That image in the beginning is simply gorgeous (albeit the proportions might be a little weird in some parts). When I saw it, I knew I needed to use that image and that I needed to somehow recreate the scroll effect for the text. Kudos to the artist and kudos to myself, since I'm particularly proud of the text's effect. Also:
-I believe Byakuren's hair color is actually a purple-brown radial gradient (makes her more interesting)
-Got to love that outfit!!!
"The world of dharma is filled with light." I cannot help but feel a chill when I hear that. If you had read "Love and Peace" by Stripe Pattern, you should know why (WARNING: rated R for Violent). It is a doujin about Byakuren's ideals... taken to their logical extreme. I want to make it count: Byakuren's ideals are equality between humans and youkai. Is amazing how such a thing can be distorted to its logical extreme... wow.
Finally, as a closing statement. This finale is extremely intense. Definitely not for the weak hearted. I literally finished this by the skin of my teeth. While overall the whole run could had gone a whole lot better, I'm VERY proud of this. If only... just watch it.
Well... I might as well say this. I'm effectively taking two Physics classes and Calculus 3, plus C++ and Japanese (I just wish that last one could count credit-wise). This semester will be hell, so my video input is pretty much nonexistent and I don't know when I'll be able to upload the Extra stage of this run or do a stream on the Stream Channel. Such is the life of a student. Hope you understand mina-san. Dōmo sumimasen (hopefully that makes sense and I didn't insulted anyone by using dōmo. This is hard =/)

I just realized something. Byakuren is probably the closest to a Mary Sue in the Touhou universe. I mean, think about it. She's non-alcoholic, she's a vegan, she's a saint, befriends both humans and youkai, and has the most impossible shade of hair ever. Hell, I bet that's the actual reason she was sealed in the first place.
#BecauseVegansAreJustBetter
But seriously, they are not.
***** VEGANIST
awesometrick She's non-alcoholic and vegan because of her religious philosophy, and while she attempts to befriend humans AND youkai, and does have a decent following of both, not everyone trusts her. Some humans distrust her because she's a youkai, and her temple is often populated by youkai that don't even follow her teachings (her preachings typically fall on deaf ears). Many youkai dislike her because she acts very un-youkai-like and unaggressive. In fact, even Akyuu in her article about Byakuren seems rather distrustful of her, calling her powers "evil". In essence, she's got flaws just like any other character.
Hell, if any character was close to a Mary Sue, I'd say it's Yukari--she has ridiculously OP powers and claims to have no weaknesses. The only thing that prevents her from being a Sue, though, is that almost no one likes her and everyone distrusts her whenever she arrives on the scene. But then again, the few friends she DOES have are uber-powerful as well...
awesometrick Everyone hates Byakuren in the whole Touhouverse, and her disciples always mess up. Everyone, especially Reimu, accuses her of being pretentious and sinister. She's an idealist, but you couldn't call her a Mary-Sue. She's not even too powerful.
If you want a Sue, it's the powerful youkai like Yuyuko, Yukari and Remi. Maybe Sakuya. They're closer to being Sues than Byakuren, but still, no Touhou is really a Sue.
Except the motherfuckin' Watatsuki sisters.
Personly I would only call Yuyuko a sue.
I saw and remembered this video and i thought to myself, "Hey, if raak can do it, maybe I can too" So I did. I went on UFO Lunatic and did it. I got to Byakuren there I was. Her last spell. Under the same circumstances.
And I realized that
No.
No I can not do it.
TheForgottenCherish But your amulets are amulets that defeated demons, killed Death, and conquered gods.
You can win.
It yokai jesus
The music fits the video fight very well! It's a wonderful choice of remix for this playthrough!
UFO and SA are like "You want to experience total despair? Here's your go!". While LolK and others are sometimes infuriating, sometimes unfair, sometimes challenging hard, those both are the essence of heartbreaking cruel. That's what I felt.
This video is the best Byakuren fight ever, the art, the music, the gameplay, sync perfect to music, change my mind :))))))
How you survived Magic Milky Way is beyond me.
Her last spellcard easier compared to other final bosses. My opinion
@Ross the Chihuahua And also because bombing doesn't erase the bullets
Real Bosses haves curves- Real Final Bosses haves curvy lasers?
THanks of rmaking this, I liked the commentary, I was expecting just a silent run.
Glad you liked it
How loud did you yell when you beat the game? Also sweet editing bro.
Thanks a bunch! I always love the song remixes of your video since Yuyuko's Playthrough, and I've been surfing and downloading touhou song remixes like crazy >.
meet the possible youkai jesus
I love your Touhou Lps, they amuse me so much, I also love that you bomb and die a fair amount because it gives it a sense of true achivement when you win through.
(Watching a guy play through without dying or using bombs is impresive but it lacks the whole game aspect, making it look more like a career)
Let me add, too, that I love what you did with this. You didn't just play it through, you added fun commentary and even had custom music. I genuinely enjoyed watching this. :D
I gotta say I love you're timing with the bomb at 2:29
*is a saint*
*proceeds to use the same Devil's Recitation that burned Makai to the ground*
Holy crap, it appears that Byakuren learned a thing or two in Makai.
Liked for the video. Fav'd for the description.
I can't even beat her on easy. I'm so terrible...
Adrastia Don't feel bad, I cant even beat Futo in normal mode qq
Adrastia Someday, you'll manage to do it ! Just have enough lives with red UFOs and spam bombs with Sanae B when you'll get in trouble... Or use low FPS to your advantage ! >:D
i can't even beat undertale
at least i can beat my meat on lunatic
@@seventwentyseven Lol
i love when the songs start to kick up and he used bomb on the same time
And THAT is the Hakurei Luck in its purest form. Surviving despite all odds and kicking ass in the process.
You sure handled Byakuren a lot better than I did. And 0/0 LFS capture is a great way to end a 1cc, which I was unable to do the times I got to it like that.
And I thought Byakuren on Normal was as far as i can go XD, but kudos (i was worried there at that last spell). Btw, i LOVE the OST u used during Byakuren's fight, there was something, "Final Fantasy-esque" about it. :) GREAT GAMEPLAY!
Haha. No Lives, No Bombs, Makai Only. You playing Byakuren in Smash Bros.?
Awesome video. The awesomely coincidental music syncs and the lucky ending makes it one of my favorites...
What could I say?
You said it all with that EPIC gameplay of the battle against Byakuren.
@barplyer That attack is actually a direct reference to Shinki's second to last attack in Touhou: Mystic Square. It's almost a complete copy/paste. It's still Touhou though, and Mystic Square came out before Mushihmesama Futari, 1998 to be exact.
So bluntly put, it was probably just a coincidence ~
You can be Byakuren by just making some zigzag lines!
Hym Verdan And by borrowing attacks from Shinki!
When other people are sitting around me in their cars with the bass turned way up, I just pull out Fires of Hokkai and watch heads turn.
Spoiler guys:
Touhou Memories of Phantasm 4th and possibly the 5th one will cover UFO arcs
WOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!
probly phantasm 5, since 4 is part three of scarlet mist
Jasper Lee oh yeah, i forgot the numbering since they update soooo slow lol
harits andhika you shouldn't complain about slowness, seeing as how high of a quality each one is, thus, the speed is justified
There's one little tidbit on info that I always found to be interesting; the humans in the village are all decendent's of powerful human's who could hunt Yokai if need be, but it's implied that the humans now, for the most part, are just normal humans. The humans in the human village were originally very aware that they were basically where the Yokai were, and chose to stay when the border was going up. I just want to know why the humans became so weak, or don't even have a guardian (Not Keine).
This stage brought back nightmares from Mystic Square; the fact that Byakuren was staying in *Makai*, creation of a certain you-know-who, makes it all the more appropriate...
Do you have a lot of other videos like this where you talk about the game in your description section with a lot of detail like that? I really enjoyed reading it and you should do it more because I like your insights on a lot of the characters/aspects of this great series.
Goddamn I hate that flying banana spellcard. GETS ME EVERY TIME.
Oh thanks alot! :) I finally truly feel like a touhou fan xP and your videos are a really great help :3.
The "Devil Recitation" spell is an unholy combination of "Red Geneskoyo","Charming siege from all sides",and "Honest man's death".
oh,and hell :p
I must say, i'm enjoying the transition from intro picture to actual gameplay more than I should. I love the byakuren's scroll transition the most.
Hats off to you for completing this on lunatic, i'm completely stuck on hard mode.
Got any tips for "Light Magic: Magic Milky Way"? I cannot capture that spell for the life of me.
Type 'Sunpon - Skyscraper Grief ~ Cosmic Mind' to enjoy the 2nd soundtrack
At the last spell I thought: "Is this the end of Raak! Reimu has no bombs and is clinging to life. It's either going to end with a game over or a continue. OH! A miracle happened! Hina's done he job!"
And then there are people that I'm sure can do this whole fight without losing lives.
Shin (world record holder) did it on his last life with no bombs left. It was amazing.
Marisa Aki I wanna see that
There are few videos on youtube that show that.
Red Bloony Envy is silly. Practice!
for the boss theme search "sunpon Emotional Skyscraper"
for the level theme search "jun.A fires of hokkai"
You can find more information about the songs at the beginning of them in the upper right corner if you hover your mouse over the hidden annotation.
Do you have a link to the first picture that appears in the video by any chance?
Congrulation man. you done something very insane ! ... For now me i can only win normal mode ^^" Oh, can i ask what the song you used at the end of the video? Cause title is in japanese so... i can't copy it on youtube for checking it... You can please? Thanks.^^
that was even closer then the fight with Kanako...so TENSE
After watching all of Raak's videos for like the past 6 months. I think I can play this game without the bullets freaking me out.
For this I say screw you Raak and your play throughs. T_T
He's good. Too good for you probably. Though at least he captured the last spell. I was impressed.
Hey, way to go! Although I only finished extra and hard in series before MoF, I think I would try again the series in hard then try lunatics! I haven't yet got to try much of UFO and Subterranean Animism, How do you feel about the gap between hard and lunatic in that 2 series?
Awesome playthrough, and awesome music choices. What's the name of the font you used in the title? The one that looks like Byakuren's scroll?
now that the annotations have been sent into oblivion anyone know the soundtrack used in the vids??? thnx in advanced
from my experience (mostly on normal) I'd say Byakuren, but Utsuho and Remilia are close behind. Next would probably be Kanako and Yuyuko, with Kaguya and Eirin easiest because IN is pretty easy in general and you get a lot of resources for them. Miko from TD is super easy but I think that's just because TD is easier in general
i seriously wish i could find that image at the start. its breathtaking.
GLORIOUS GLORY!
WELL DONE.
if you notice aside form the devil reincarnation spell card byakuren those all the attack of shinki lil by lil like when it star as when she shot the giant lazer and the patter of when she gona die shooting the energy ball like left and right rising a lil bit
I was looking for Returning home from the sky - Sky dream used after 6:12 :P That hidden annotation is in the top left
The last spellcard was truly intense. Not only he(she) started it on his(her) last life and with no bombs, but also had 1/32 score on it. His(her) odds were awful and it was very unlikely he(she) would succeed. That feeling at the end mush have been awesome.
That might be his(her) first instance capture at that time
5:15
It's kind of danmaku
Taking unapt pattern wisely.
Interfered.
Death .
Devils Recitation...SHINKI...WHY HAS ZUN FORSAKEN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!
That's good. Each run will give you progress. I was finally able to 1cc SA... I don't have a problem with Utsuho, but by god, Rin eats all of my lives, and I don't know what to do about it! I can go into stage 5 with 7 lives, and walk out with 2...
@raak1010 I actually love the arrangements. XD and how you do this on Lunatic ill never know 'E-e but I love your videos. :3
3:28 "Marisa-patented Non-directional lasers"
Patchouli would like a word with you.
cuz if u lost u wont upload dis
btw i died when it's slowmotion-ing
stop video at 0:21 or 2:10 go onto full screen and look at upper right corner of screen. you should see a very faint green or white rectangle. put your cursor over it and you should see the song information inside the rectangle.
Damn she's tough, I could beat Kanako and Utsuho on Normal but I never been able to beat Byakuren on Easy. My jaw dropped seeing you beating this boss on Lunatic, especially considering your lack of lives on the last spell card.
You should see him attempring the others miss Hijirin. Especially miss Yukari
Congratz on finishing UFO. Any thoughts on doing a play though SWR or IAMP?
You entered Legendary Flying Saucer with one life and no bombs............and lived to tell the tale.......o_e *twitch* If that were me (on easy modo), I would've been dead. *bows down*
Byakuren stole the precious spell.
5:09 I laughed madly at that annonation XD
I wasn't really expecting a "Your welcome" O-o
The way you beated Byakuren reminds of me firts time I fought her (on normal though...)
I was completely without lives o bombs, and It was the first time I faced her Spellcard Flying Object "Flying Gantastica" (Gotta love that name) and somehow I managed to beat her... YEaj... good times...
I hate how UA-cam got rid of all the annotations. This one had some particularly funny ones.
@TheTeff007 Just correcting something here, the name of her final card on normal is "Flying Fantastica".
I'm picky like that.
hey does anyone still have the link to the music since youtube annotations are gone :(?
What is that thing I do again? It's been so long, I can hardly rememb- Oh, right! Typos!
0:42 Chance. Maybe.
0:57 Invaders
@Bragging: No tempting fate!
1:42 *winces*
5:09 Doomed.
5:31 Why on earth is a bee trying to get at honey? They make it!
But yeah. Fantastic job on this run, even if this vid took what, a month?
...Phantasm?
Talk about zero chill with those bombs.
Lol I remember beating Byakuren for the first time; I had all lives and almost perfected all her attacks until her final spell! That thing took ALL my lives and I barely won. :o
I would have raged if I made those kinds of derps because it would not have ended well if it had been me.
Awesome, thanks for the commentary, enjoyed it. :D
For glory!!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!
@TheTeff007 I know, the name is "Flying Fantastica" in normal, I just wanted to correct that.
Every time I make it to this stage something comes up. When I sit back down, I just can't focus enough to dodge those damn bullets. I fought her one time with five lives and three bombs, Could not even make it to her third spell. It was so sad. (It was my first time getting that far though...)
4:05
Byakuren: :feellikeshinki:
i say that the last spellcard's name on easier dificulties (normal and easy I think) is more epic, on the other side. the danmaku on hard and lunatic is flashier prettier and harder.
name on easy and normal: ''unidentified flying fantastica''
names on hard and lunatic: ''legendary flying saucer''? thats weird.
I certainly agree about Miko being the easiest. And yeah, Remilia is really difficult as well.
thank youuuuuuuuuu dude!!
Sweet zombie jesus that's talent. Well played.
Is the first time i see something like this and i think i so high man
Uuuh, I can't find the credits image, I wanted to use it as a Wallpaper. It's soooooooooo beautiful @__@
I love the song remix.
Could you tell me the name of the songs?
and the arrangement groups please :)
4:01 Byakuren stole from Shinki!!! anyways nice fight against Byakuren despite the bombing
4:03-4:06
3...
2...
1...
BLAST OFF!! XD
At the end, that was really was epic with no lives/bombs.
And yet, despite her awesomeness, I still wish ZUN had put her brother in here somewhere, just because he was supposed to be the Stage 6 boss (and then ZUN realized "Wait, this is Touhou! No male bosses!" So Byakuren was there instead). Come on, out of nowhere, "Wait, a MALE boss?" would have been a major "WTF?" moment. Byakuren should have been Phantasm (which would mean the second game with an official Phantasm, and would be awesome).
FOR GLORY!!!
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu soooo much!!!!
@fabiosacchirodrigues I know, I never said that the spellcard I fought was on Lunatic, I just mentioned the name of the spellcard I faced. In Normal...
I did something similar to this back in LLS... the one time I got to final stage (on Normal), I ended up at Yuka with no bombs or lives in reserve. But, it wasn't pretty X)
ラストスペル初取得してクリアは熱いな
Raak! I really want to see you upload you playing Ten Desires(aside from Mamizou), idc what diffculty it is, I just want to see it Dx will you ever do so? I'd love it if you did. :3
that is what happened to me
on the final spell i had no bombs or lives
so I had to capture it
and It was my time on that spell
I thought I was going to die and lose
but I beat her
same time that happened with kanako too
when that happens I call it a raak moment
Oh and another thing, by "things running on your PC at the time" do you mean the windows that are open? Or something else?
I'm still light years away from facing Byakuren........*plays UFO* 10 minutes later, *loses all continues on stage 3* damn Light years measures distance not time.
well, I'll get to her eventually but right I'm going to focus on beating TD on normal 1cc, I can beat the bosses without dying in practice but I can't seem to do it in story mode either because of my own stupidity or I get greedy with points.
