15:01 One fan theory suggests that Sakuya is a lunarian which is why Eirin is surprised to see her. That's all that I can remember
That would actually explain things like her age and origins being so mysterious 🤔 I wonder if Zun ever had plans to follow up on this (or maybe he still does!)
ZUN already said It's false, but if you consider the face that IN was at some point Touhou's 'finale' and it was supposed to have a Extra stage relating to Sakuya.
Maybe that was the original plan.
this game is about human and youkai teams. sakuya is remilia's human partner. why do people still bring up this theory?
That's what I said
But what if Eirin is actually not a Lunarian
If I remember right, the Fujiwara clan basically controlled the Imperial government of Japan in the 1200s or so. So, the historical reference is there
Do you think that Fugiwara no Mouku is aware of this?😅🧐🤔🤨
@@Touhou20246 I'd say she would know. Would she care? I don't think so.
@@sfjuhispst8144 okay I see thanks for letting me know.😅👍🏻
Pretty sure it’s the reason Mokou and Kaguya have so much beef
I think it was the 9th to 12th centuries rather than the 1200s though.
I mean, there members of the Imperial Family of Japan who still do have relation to the Fujiwara, but really the political influence of the Fujiwara is gone.
Random Fun Fact!
"If you didn't know, the Fujiwara (藤原) clan famously married their daughters into the imperial family [of Japan] allowing them control over the Heian court for 200 years, from around 850 to 1068."

with Mokou and Kaguya, ZUN really gifted us with the real butch x femme enemies to lovers back in 2004
Tap shift above the item collection boundary. Youkai auto-collect items regardless of your power level (you can autocollect on stage 1).
I had no idea about that😅 Gonna try it next time I fire up IN
Player: What are you doing here?
Stage 6 Boss: This is my house.
These are really useful for getting to know the lore, hope you keep on making them!
I love how wearing pants is pretty much an ability
Kaguya has some high fucking standards
On why Kaguya was senteced to death:
Living creatures produce impurity, a metaphysical death aura, as time goes on, while long-living Lunarians have very little of it on average. An immortal can instantly ressurect which basically means they have super growth. Super growth leads to intense death aura which is almost lethal to Lunarians. This is also why fairies are not seen on the true moon.
doing the lord's work looking forward to more of these
woohoo!! i started watching these yesterday as i’ve always wanted to get into touhou, but i suck at bullet hell mechanics. keep up the great work :]
theres always the fighting games :LeSanae:
Mokou was clearly designed when ZUN was drunk. So, she has those paper charms all over herself - hair, pants, shoes... but nothing clearly visible on the shirt. These charms are used in religion for various reasons, including protection. And considering the fire attacks in fighting games...
in this essay I will explain why Mokou commits crime of public indecency-
Lmao
Wow thanks, this is the first video that really clearly spells out some context for the music. I am not a gamer but was trying to get some context on a pianist who performed an incredible version of this game's music, so now I see why the composer repeated certain leitmotifs and themes within the songs. loled at the moon landing bit ty
nobody:
Touhou youtubers: *dies*
As usual.
So how did the fake moon that Eirin created work? Was it just like the true full moon but with a missing part? Why couldn't she made it complete from the start?
This is a good question actually, I double checked the character bios and found this: Kaguya's profile states that the Lunarians are only able to travel to the earth during a full moon, so an incomplete moon would ensure the route between the moon and earth is super restricted
I like the bunny she cool
As someone getting into the fandom but terrible at games, these videos are amazing! They’ve been the best videos at explaining the characters and lore of the games ive found on UA-cam. Genuinely, thank you so much for these I wait eagerly for the next one
Wriggle was the 2nd to wear pants, Yuuka did it first in Lotus Land Story and Mystic Square. Though, Wriggle is the first pants wearer on Windows so I get why you said that.
Finally some good lore video. I finally understand the lore. Hope you continue with all the games and side games
Thank you for these vids! I’ve been looking where to learn Touhou lore lol and I haven’t found many sources-
I can't wait for the next video!!!
I appreciate this videos, they are really entertaining!
You explain things really well and you deserve more subscribers. As someone who vaguely knows some of the lore and loves the music, it was a treasure to find this! I look forward to seeing you cover the rest of the games
I was PRANKED by the introduction
Really good to see a more indeph breakdown of the story right after I 1CC it. Keep it up, hope we can see the full thing of more recent Touhou games one day
Nice summary! I knew most bullet points about the characters and their motivations already, but the whole event is so convoluted that seeing this video was a pretty good help and reminder about what was actually going on.
Another banger by the Cinder
Thank you for making these videos! My peanut brain struggles to play all the way through these games, so your explanations are really helpful!
15:00 Talking out of my arse, but my best guess is that Sakuya's abnormal lifespan for a human must have perplexed Eirin. I mean, imagine you're 70 and suddenly the very same kid you treated as an apprentice back when you were 20 came back and not only does he still looks like a kid, you are absolutely certain it's him as well
TH IN had the best soundtrack of all the touhou games
It was an honor to be your 1,000th like.
I hope you keep making these videos!
touhou 8 is probably my favorite touhou, idk why it just is.
I love you
I love you too dawg
thank you so much dude
Great job! i beat route B and didnt even try the extra stage lol, hope to see PoFV's video soon
Thx for the Christmas gift
This is Ultimate.
One of the best games😳
20:41 lmao nice regular ahow reference
Wow I can't get enough of people making lore videos of touhou, and you are a really good at it too!! But they always end up stuck at th9 lmao i hope you break the curse (or skip to th10 lmao).
Also for your information, you could use a program called "thprac" touhou practice to softmod your game (it will not change game files) and give yourself infinite lives, invincibility and skip to any stage you want. And yes by it's name it is really good for practicing harder stages. Enjoy this information as much as I enjoyed this vid ^^
hope you make the next episode soon
1. I wonder what is USA astronauts’ thought on Reisen.
2. Can’t help but think that in this incident, nobody is bad, literally. 🤔 (Or maybe not. The outside world seems to accidentally provoke the Lunarians. 😅)
Leaving out yuyukos search for a dragon dish is a crime/JJJ
10:40 well AKSHUALLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY the reason it's written Tewi (てゐ)and not Te'i (てい) is because the wi kana (ゐ) is actually archaic and no longer in modern use in japan, it was eliminated during the post-WWII orthographic reforms. The reason it's "supposed" to be pronounced "Te'i" is because this kana is commonly now replaced and read as i (い). It can be argued that the archaic kana is supposed to show the dating age of the character dating far back. This "correct" pronounciation is only "correct" in MODERN Japanese. In "þe olden tymes", it would indeed actually be pronounced "Tewi"
As in Silent Sinner in Blue, the two Princess of the Moon (Toyohime and Yorihime) stated that human and youkai in Gensokyo stand no chance against Lunarians
How Many more Touhou episodes do you have i love them. Also Reisen is a Moon Rabbit
Just finished the script for episode 4 last night, should be up before too long 😎
