I like how Mokou is one of the few characters to not belong to a faction yet slowly starts to warm up to others thanks to Sumireko's influence. It's to the point that she has seemingly buried the hatchet with Kaguya by the time of FDS and is worried about her getting possessed by Mizuchi.
@@NottJoeyOfficial In Mokou's story in 14.5, she wants to collect the occult balls to die. She doesn't realize that getting them means opening a portal to the outside world, where she fights and befriends Sumireko. Flash forward to Foul Detective Satori, Kaguya (who has been repeatedly going outside the house of eternity) is revealed to be possessed so her host can spread their influence. Mizuchi reveals herself for the first time when Mokou confronts the possessed Kaguya (and fails miserably)
As a long time Meiling fan, I must admit that she is probably the "least popular" of the (properly named) characters in EoSD, but considering how incredibly popular EoSD is compared to the rest, that still works out to her being one of the most iconic and recognisable characters in the series. Still, as EoSD grows older and older and newer fans get into the series through different means than us late 00s/very early 2010s fans did, I feel like people that are fans of the EoSD cast in particular, especially the characters that "mostly" stayed in that game in comparison to the rest like Meiling and Patchouli, are going to get increasingly rarer. The way I see it, strictly Meiling fans back in the 00s were a relative rarity and most of her popularity stemmed from her being associated with the two most popular games in the series (EoSD and Soku) and how many people were "fonder than average" of her because of it. I really don't believe that the overall negative way fandom used to depicted her helped the character at all, especially with how embarrassingly recent people started shying away from the less savoury early fandom interpretations of a lot of characters, Meiling included. Nowadays, I feel like most people that seem to genuinely like the character as one of their favourites like her either due to the uniqueness of her being the only openly Chinese character in the series or her association with Lost Word, as you said, but also people who like "big women" in general... you know, those people that like women that are tall, or muscly, or sisterly/motherly, which Meiling ticks all the boxes.
I just like her because she kicks ass and Asatoshi's fight animations including Hong Meiling is just 😮😮😮 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏 To me, she's the only capable ass kickery badass who doesn't need to use big boom pop stick bullet magicry. Tho headcanon: she loses whenever someone doesn't use JUST their body to fight LOL
I'm a Suika fan and I dislike those old jokes and overused memes I like her because of her character, she's so goofy and cute and when she gets serious she's really badass, I love her
I like canon Shiki (a nice person who wants to save people from going to hell), you like fanon Shiki (the exact opposite of canon Shiki and also a midget), we are not the same.
I absolutely adore Kaguya's design, personality, and theme. Actually, her theme is one of the first touhou tracks I listened to in my life, either arrange or the original. When I clicked on that theme song and saw how pretty Kaguya was, and just how fantastic her theme was... Well let's just say I'm a Kaguya fan till the end. As for my thoughts on Mokou... she's pretty cool. For Mokou fans however... well one of my close friends is one. He's what I imagine Mokou would be like if she really existed. Me, him, and another close friend of mine (who's an Eirin and Keine fan, go figure) sometimes get into arguments with each other. It's usually me and the Eirin fan against the Mokou fan funnily enough. Though sometimes THEY gang up on me instead. He's recently mellowed out though, and we all get along well now, rarely getting into any actual arguments and just having fun.
I had the same experience with Lunatic princess, it was the first touhou song that i ever listened and that image with her with the background of a bamboo forest and her ancient japanesse princess looking and obviusly with that masterly theme, brought me a wonderful mysterious oriental feeling that transported me near to that scenary of IN even without knowing what touhou was, and basically that's what brought me to Touhou
I am a huge Mokou fan, have been for more than 10 years. Never thought Mokou and Kaguya are cute together, not in a traditional way, at least. If anything in a complete hate/love relationship. Also, I am disappointed by how little you had to say about Mokou. Personally, I feel like Mokou fans like her on an entirely different level as any other character. A way where it's not “I like this character“, but “I legitimatly love this character.“ Bordering on a psychotic, yet utterly loyal love. Mokou stans usually have no other waifu, I sometimes feel like. It is Mokou or bust. I must know, I am exactly like that. And yet most Mokou fans tend to be loners, soft spoken or generally not that interested in making small talk. Where the Eiki stan is the beaurocrat of a server the Mokou stan is usually the Diogenes.
@@HeadpriestPEPSI They do. It's romantic in a way, but more a twisted and depressing way as opposed to a wholesome way. Kaguya, the one person Mokou despises more than anything, is likewise the only person that will always be around. Mokou's hatred is the only constant in her existqnce.
@@DrunkenCoward1 You know mokou and kaguya have respect for eachother right? Are you actually assuming that over a buttload of years they'd seriously still despise eachother?

And I think even the short list of potential Reisen fans is even missing people that love her because of her school girl aesthetic or well... her ears making them go to other directions instead of rabbits.
Also i like yuuka because who doesn't like flowers and plants,you forgot to say that yuuka fans enjoy going to wild and play PC_98 game,and they think her pose in kioh gyoko is funny,hahaha
i'm one of those fans that joined late to the party (in 2020) but want to consider myself a 2010 fan. i exclusively love binging old touhou doujins my favorites being karaagetarou's and happy flame time's works. my favorite games are the 9-10-11 era including their amazing soundtracks and i'm very fond of SA especially. not sure what it is but their cast just hits that sweet spot for me. oh can i also add that i used to be a big tf2 player since 2014 which is what ultimately led me to touhou through various parodies like philip onbread's month first series and yet... it took me literal years to even find out about touhou. it's hidden yet omnipresent i mean heck even the guinness records say touhou is the most widespread internet community
Me, especially When your a rpg fan like Fire emblem fans. she can fight with a cool bow like a sniper but can heal like cleric. Her design is similar to Brigid,Louise, (the first 2 having braided hair) and Igrene.
Medicine Melancholy is the single most Underrated character in the series by far, there are some Japanese artists who prioritize her over other characters, which is Nice, considering how little screen time she gets in the series and even in Fangames/Printworks (mainly those made by the Western Community) also Medicine is really powerful she is a Worldwide treath to the Human race, don't underestimate her for being a doll, controlling Poison, the fragrance of death is a big deal (You are not immune to Poison) it is so deadly that it is forbidden in Wars, do you get it? Poison is something humans as well as any living thing should avoid at any cost, thus Medicine is extremely powerful and Definitively stronger than Reimu (She defeats Reimu in PoFV) There's also her Goofy side, she will explain her ideals to humans before attacking them, does she really hates humans? if yes then she is very straightfoward, All Youkai depend on human fear to exist, but a lot of Youkai are kinda simpatic with humans, Medicine is not. She is the perfect character for Fanworks, why she is so Underrated? It's because of PoFV's Low Popularity compared to other games? Or is Medicine just too Scary? She is a Character who can have multiple Personalities in Fanworks, she can either be Simple-minded, Melancholic, Agressive, Idealistic some fans portray her as straight-up Racist. Thou i have a Theory, Medicine got overshadowed by the other characters, during an Considerable "Peak" in the Touhou community (2005 - 2010) The golden age for Memes and idiocy, Most Touhou characters got a shit ton of Memes during this period, Examples are Cirno's 9 Ball, Komachi slacking-off, Night of Nights, IOSYS Songs and memes... Medicine's last relevant appearace was in 2009 (Grimorie of Marisa) But not everything is lost, a Lot of people come to appreciate Medicine because of Lost Word, tbh i don't like this game, only played during a short period of time due to Medicine being on the Game. Man i would drink poison for a Canon Medicine Game/Printwork...
Exactly! You explained it so well. Unfortunately Medicine is a new Youkai so Zun says it's hard to use her character. (even though Flandre has the same thing in 17.5) Speaking of Flandre, I've noticed they have similarities. Medicines personality is more like fannon Flandre than Flandre to herself. A young Youkai, with a deadly personality and incredible incontrollable power. Unfortunately Medicine is a doll, so she doesn't have that popularity a vampire might have, and no eye catching visuals either.
I like Mokou because of her Goku-like character in 15.5 and I hate the edgy kids that make her depressed and suicidal just based on one spell card name. I like to imagine that she's just bored all the time so she goes around Gensokyo looking for a fight and Kaguya, being an immortal, is the only one crazy enough to pick her up on that. Hence the rivalry. So please don't ship them.
I’m a fan of meiling!! THANK YOU FOR ADDING HER!!! I’m Vietnamese and little bit of chinese, I’m happy you added her!!i love the stereotype of meiling!1!1! (And also all the characters)
Yeah, a definite Reisen fan here. (The Beastars Legosi pfp might have been a clue.) I actually started out trying to avoid Reisen because of the whole "useless bunny" thing coming from the fandom and the fact I really dislike objectification like that and I figured it was a matter of time before something set me off. Then I started to get into her canon backstory and personality to kind of set the record straight and it just snowballed from there.
I just felt like i needed to comment on this. Reisen is my favorite character for a lot of reasons, it really felt like the stars aligned for me to like Reisen. (Also, just for a comparison, my first "favorite" character was Yuyuko because of her food jokes on IN.) First of all, on the games, Reisen was the first boss that made me move forward instead of sticking my butt to the end of the screen. If i was not for Reisen boss fight, i would not be confident enough to get closer to the boss. Nowadays i can even beat some of the older Touhous (Which are better in my opinion) on the Hard difficulty, and i have a lot to thank for Reisen boss fight. She also happens the be a character in my favorite Touhou which is IN. I love the Space and i freaking love the pianos in this game. While i do not particularly find her theme to be the best, the OST from this game is by far my favorite. As for her style, i always loved a bit more formal clothing like her suit and skirt, and i usually always wore suits on my characters when i had the option in games. I also freaking love long hair and i have a freaking long hair myself (Some people think i'm a girl from a bit afar lol). Now talking about Reisen personality, that's where things really shine, specially with Tewi. I have a little sister, and Reisen and Tewi interactions reminds me so much of me and my little sister. Of course Tewi is a bit more troll and brutal with Reisen than my sister is with me, but it still feels so familiar to me. I have read Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth (The one and only time i ever read a Manga) and Reisen and Tewi there just feels at home for me. My little sister's favorite Touhou character is Tewi for this very reason, and she doesn't even know much of Touhou. -Reisen is also overworked and has big fear of disappointing her superiors. Sounds a lot like Reisen and sounds a lot like me... -Reisen also had to deal with a lot of shit while still having to be the sane one. Sounds a lot like Reisen and sounds a lot like me... Sincerely, Reisen has always felt like she was written entirely to be represent me and my life, even if a bit more exaggerated, of course, that it was simply impossible for me not to love Reisen's character. Though I have nothing to do with the whole rabbit thing.
As one of the ancient ones of the fandom who has faded into obscurity and hides in their blankets: yeah, pretty apt description for a PC-98 Yuuka and an Eirin fan.
As someone who's been absolutely absorbed into Touhou recently and likes Rin Satsuki, while the scary is admittedly cool, I mostly like all the different character interpretations people have, although to be fair there isn't really much defined personality for a character who's just a name in some code in canon
Mokou's one of my favorites characters, and I find weird to ship her with Kaguya. Don't she, like, hate her ? I mean, if you really want to ship Mokou, why not ship her with, I dunno, Keine. Keine tried to protect Mokou from the protagonist in IN extra, so that would make more sense at least. (This is just my opinion, please don't be offended if you're a Mokou-Kaguya shipper.)
I personally have the headcanon that, while Mokou likes Keine a lot and would like to be with her she's terrified of the inevitable fact that Keine will die. While I don't ship Mokou and Kaguya (per se; I hate the term shipping anyways), I think it would ironically be the most logical connection. Both will be around forever and hate is not necessarily the opposite of love. Kaguya is the only person Mokou could be with who wouldn't leave her with an eternity of heartbreak.
Yay, More of this! I love this series and I hope it keeps on well!!! (Also, Komachi got mentioned, my favorite. I like her because she's the Touhou equivalent to the Grim Reaper and has a nice design, and the personality a little too)
Mokou x Kaguya is an enemies to lovers fan heaven but honestly when I found doujins about them it was mostly angst angst and angst all over again. I have NEVER seen this amount of angst with any ship anywhere and this is concerning. I would consider myself a Mokou fan that just praises her and when asked just shrugs because I have no idea why. I just want to see her happy. when 17.5 was coming out I was scrambling for translations and sad that Mokou is SUFFERING THERE EVEN MORE SHE CANT TAKE A BREAK PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS. Also her stage and boss music is the most slappy thing in the remixes, not changing my mind.
as a Yuuka simp for about a month or 2 now, I can agree with everything you’ve said here (except for the doxxing). PC98 & Windows era Yuuka are the same ranking for me, though.
I think your stereotypes are pretty strange there pal Tewi fans: I’m fairly certain the last one I met was straight up Osama Bin Laden Reisen fans: War Veterans Eirin fans: that is I! I like Eirin, an Eirin fan you could say. The reason is Eirin is one of the few genuinely well written and human feeling characters in the series. Kaguya fans: genuinely well written and human feeling character, can’t say much else since I’ve yet to meet someone who’s favorite is the ex-lunar princess.
Suika fans: _Giantess fetishists_ Eirin fans: _Reisen bullying time 24/7_ Kaguya fans: _NEETs_ Mokou fans: _Either die-hard shippers of her with Kaguya or Keine_ Aya fans: _Rooms are filled with pictures of anime girl panties_ Yuuka fans: _Always picks evil options in games with a morality/alignment system_
That's funny. I'm an Aya fan and don't meet one of the items listed. I just started Touhou about 7 or 8 months ago as a complete noob. I came from a being survival horror gamer who hadn't played a SHMUP since my Sega Genesis. The first game I played was MoF and I hadn't joined any community at that time so the first 3 months of me playing Touhou was just figuring it out on my own. The first obstacle I faced was Aya. I hit a wall with Aya. I spent all my free time trying to take down Aya. I didn't even know about Tprac, so for me it was perfecting my run so I have enough lives for Aya to take. I almost gave up and thought I'd never be good enough to continue this experiment, so when I finally did take her down and started to do it consistently it felt like it was my first great achievement and inspired me to continue my quest to learn this new and alien genre. That's it, because my victory against Aya I didn't give up and I'm currently working on learning a Hard 1CC Mof. Yesterday I was dared to capture PWG on Lunatic and after a little over 2 hours I did. I'm still a noob, but I love Aya because she made me a better player and I bought a figure of her that sits behind my desk.
I have been a fan of: Early May 2022: Megumu Mid-May: Aya Late May: Reimu Early June: Mokou (haven't changed my pfp since then) Mid June: Tsukasa (seriously?????) Late June: Junko (idk what I was even thinking) Early July: Okuu Mid July: Koishi Late July: Seija Early August: Youmu (alongside Yuyuko for some reason) Mid August: Sanae (we are here, still here)
Am i the only komachi fan in this comment section? 😢 I like her because i love her design and fighting style. + Scythes are awesome. Playing the extra stage in pofv so much in order to beat it gave me brainrot from trying any other character due to how different she plays, but she's still so fun to play. Same with soku, although i suck at that game, komach has really fun attacks to do. Not to mention komachi's theme is amazing and top tier. I am really sad komachi isnt so popular in the community.
I fell called out, Mokou was my favorite Touhou character at one point and Mokou x Kaguya is one of the best Touhou ships (up there with Reisen x Youmu and Reimu x Marisa). Reisen is my favorite now though, I love rabbits lol.
Suika - Yep I will never let go of these jokes. Aaaaand I kinda had better luck with the fighting games than the shooters, but not without trying of course. Not a big Suika fan but she is fun. Tewi - I never understood why people can't grasp that wi is a forgotten phoneme in Japanese and they should be pronouncing it Tewi if they're speaking a language that doesn't have this limitation, as her name is intentionally written that way. Mokou - I like Mokou, but rather than shipping her with Kaguya, I just like to make fun of their feud. I have something on the backburner that makes fun of Mokou/Kaguya shippers while also making fun of Shakespeare... By giving them each an artificial child that Eirin grew from their DNA without their consent. (And Yukari plans to manipulate them to make Romeo and Juliet happen in Gensokyo)
as a reisen fan this is very real i like her very much i have real life bunnies farmed reisen in lost word for no reason played her everywhere especially in Hisoutensoku cosplayed as her and looking to buy a fumo somewhere anywhere
As a Rin Satsuki fan,i can say that people that like her are uncertain. On one side they will be the most chill and quiet people you will ever find. They will most likely make fan art of her being happy around the rest of the Touhou cast like she supposed to be. (They will also joke about her being a Gaster of Touhou nonstop,and tell you about their vision towards her. And fanfics...) On the other side,there's people that like her for the *Creepypasta* aesthetic and make her as depressed and creepy as possible on fan art or discussions,and hoping that she's going to eventually be added in atleast some kind of form in the future Touhou games. (Which is unlikely,considering that there was no mention about her from ZUN or his team for *21 years* now.) They also might be both sides (me). Yeah,that's it.
As one of the very rare Hecatia fans, I'm curious how long thos series will take to reach her. ...It appears this is going more or less in release order, so probably a while. (But rip Keiki fans who will be waiting even longer.)
You missed the Reisen fan who likes her because "haha funny gun joke"

Medicine Melancholy is the single most Underrated character in the series by far, there are some Japanese artists who prioritize her over other characters, which is Nice, considering how little screen time she gets in the series and even in Fangames/Printworks (mainly those made by the Western Community) also Medicine is really powerful she is a Worldwide treath to the Human race, don't underestimate her for being a doll, controlling Poison, the fragrance of death is a big deal (You are not immune to Poison) it is so deadly that it is forbidden in Wars, do you get it? Poison is something humans as well as any living thing should avoid at any cost, thus Medicine is extremely powerful and Definitively stronger than Reimu (She defeats Reimu in PoFV)
There's also her Goofy side, she will explain her ideals to humans before attacking them, does she really hates humans? if yes then she is very straightfoward, All Youkai depend on human fear to exist, but a lot of Youkai are kinda simpatic with humans, Medicine is not.
She is the perfect character for Fanworks, why she is so Underrated? It's because of PoFV's Low Popularity compared to other games? Or is Medicine just too Scary? She is a Character who can have multiple Personalities in Fanworks, she can either be Simple-minded, Melancholic, Agressive, Idealistic some fans portray her as straight-up Racist.
Thou i have a Theory, Medicine got overshadowed by the other characters, during an Considerable "Peak" in the Touhou community (2005 - 2010) The golden age for Memes and idiocy, Most Touhou characters got a shit ton of Memes during this period, Examples are Cirno's 9 Ball, Komachi slacking-off, Night of Nights, IOSYS Songs and memes... Medicine's last relevant appearace was in 2009 (Grimorie of Marisa)
But not everything is lost, a Lot of people come to appreciate Medicine because of Lost Word, tbh i don't like this game, only played during a short period of time due to Medicine being on the Game.
Man i would drink poison for a Canon Medicine Game/Printwork...
@@CerealKiller What a joke
@Patapoz intoxicated beer
Exactly! You explained it so well. Unfortunately Medicine is a new Youkai so Zun says it's hard to use her character. (even though Flandre has the same thing in 17.5)
Speaking of Flandre, I've noticed they have similarities. Medicines personality is more like fannon Flandre than Flandre to herself. A young Youkai, with a deadly personality and incredible incontrollable power. Unfortunately Medicine is a doll, so she doesn't have that popularity a vampire might have, and no eye catching visuals either.

*MOKOU AND KAGUYA ARE A REALLY BAD COUPLE*
your very right
They try to kill each other for years
This is scarily accurate.
what the hell.
Oh no Suwawako is in trouble, I have a hell raven on it’s way as we speak
I like Mokou because of her Goku-like character in 15.5 and I hate the edgy kids that make her depressed and suicidal just based on one spell card name.
I like to imagine that she's just bored all the time so she goes around Gensokyo looking for a fight and Kaguya, being an immortal, is the only one crazy enough to pick her up on that. Hence the rivalry.
So please don't ship them.
Did you just say people portray Mokou as suicidal? How does that work? The silly bitch is immortal.
Touhou shippers aren't known for following cannon. They just ship designs. 🫣
As a mokou fan I hate mokou x kaguya it’s a rlly bad ship and I’ll never understand why people ship it
I’m a fan of meiling!! THANK YOU FOR ADDING HER!!! I’m Vietnamese and little bit of chinese, I’m happy you added her!!i love the stereotype of meiling!1!1! (And also all the characters)
Yeah, a definite Reisen fan here. (The Beastars Legosi pfp might have been a clue.) I actually started out trying to avoid Reisen because of the whole "useless bunny" thing coming from the fandom and the fact I really dislike objectification like that and I figured it was a matter of time before something set me off. Then I started to get into her canon backstory and personality to kind of set the record straight and it just snowballed from there.
U
yikes lmfao
bnuuy
Rin Satsuki enjoyers here?
Waiting to see what Parsee fans are seen as.
as an eirin fan, i can confirm that i exist
reisen, we need to cook
4:54 You went in based mode really,be careful around these places.
You just nailed that third type of Reisen because yes I collected all Reisen variant in LostWord *cough*
I just felt like i needed to comment on this. Reisen is my favorite character for a lot of reasons, it really felt like the stars aligned for me to like Reisen.
(Also, just for a comparison, my first "favorite" character was Yuyuko because of her food jokes on IN.)
First of all, on the games, Reisen was the first boss that made me move forward instead of sticking my butt to the end of the screen. If i was not for Reisen boss fight, i would not be confident enough to get closer to the boss. Nowadays i can even beat some of the older Touhous (Which are better in my opinion) on the Hard difficulty, and i have a lot to thank for Reisen boss fight.
She also happens the be a character in my favorite Touhou which is IN. I love the Space and i freaking love the pianos in this game. While i do not particularly find her theme to be the best, the OST from this game is by far my favorite.
As for her style, i always loved a bit more formal clothing like her suit and skirt, and i usually always wore suits on my characters when i had the option in games. I also freaking love long hair and i have a freaking long hair myself (Some people think i'm a girl from a bit afar lol).
Now talking about Reisen personality, that's where things really shine, specially with Tewi.
I have a little sister, and Reisen and Tewi interactions reminds me so much of me and my little sister. Of course Tewi is a bit more troll and brutal with Reisen than my sister is with me, but it still feels so familiar to me. I have read Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth (The one and only time i ever read a Manga) and Reisen and Tewi there just feels at home for me. My little sister's favorite Touhou character is Tewi for this very reason, and she doesn't even know much of Touhou.
-Reisen is also overworked and has big fear of disappointing her superiors. Sounds a lot like Reisen and sounds a lot like me...
-Reisen also had to deal with a lot of shit while still having to be the sane one. Sounds a lot like Reisen and sounds a lot like me...
Sincerely, Reisen has always felt like she was written entirely to be represent me and my life, even if a bit more exaggerated, of course, that it was simply impossible for me not to love Reisen's character.
Though I have nothing to do with the whole rabbit thing.
You sure do know photography is my favorite
As one of the ancient ones of the fandom who has faded into obscurity and hides in their blankets: yeah, pretty apt description for a PC-98 Yuuka and an Eirin fan.
As someone who's been absolutely absorbed into Touhou recently and likes Rin Satsuki, while the scary is admittedly cool, I mostly like all the different character interpretations people have, although to be fair there isn't really much defined personality for a character who's just a name in some code in canon
Mokou's one of my favorites characters, and I find weird to ship her with Kaguya. Don't she, like, hate her ? I mean, if you really want to ship Mokou, why not ship her with, I dunno, Keine. Keine tried to protect Mokou from the protagonist in IN extra, so that would make more sense at least.
(This is just my opinion, please don't be offended if you're a Mokou-Kaguya shipper.)
I personally have the headcanon that, while Mokou likes Keine a lot and would like to be with her she's terrified of the inevitable fact that Keine will die.
While I don't ship Mokou and Kaguya (per se; I hate the term shipping anyways), I think it would ironically be the most logical connection.
Both will be around forever and hate is not necessarily the opposite of love.
Kaguya is the only person Mokou could be with who wouldn't leave her with an eternity of heartbreak.
@@DrunkenCoward1 The ship makes sense when phrased that way I guess.
@@Diancie77 However, I don't see it as a romantic ship.
More as a tragic, “only-choice“ ship.
mokou and kaguya are on better terms now and it seems like mokou cares about kaguya a bit without her knowing so yeah
Erin -Heisenberg- is good because drugs and “Help me Erin!!!!”. Okuu fans when?
Man, you forget sadistic Yuuka fans.
As a Rin Satsuki fan,
As an Aya fan I can confirm this stereotype.
I currently have a small collection of old film cameras and I currently work for a photo studio.
Wait really?! ⚫️🕊️->🤯
(sorry for the shoddy attempt at the Okuu mindblown meme)
Thank you for making this!
I wanted to call you out on the fighting game Enthusiast jab, but it sort of checks out.
me waits for hina, spinning like food in a microwave, without the microwave rays, or a timer to stop
I like many characters because of their themes, especially IN
Yay, More of this! I love this series and I hope it keeps on well!!!
(Also, Komachi got mentioned, my favorite. I like her because she's the Touhou equivalent to the Grim Reaper and has a nice design, and the personality a little too)
Mokou x Kaguya is an enemies to lovers fan heaven but honestly when I found doujins about them it was mostly angst angst and angst all over again. I have NEVER seen this amount of angst with any ship anywhere and this is concerning. I would consider myself a Mokou fan that just praises her and when asked just shrugs because I have no idea why. I just want to see her happy. when 17.5 was coming out I was scrambling for translations and sad that Mokou is SUFFERING THERE EVEN MORE SHE CANT TAKE A BREAK PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS.
Also her stage and boss music is the most slappy thing in the remixes, not changing my mind.
as a Yuuka simp for about a month or 2 now, I can agree with everything you’ve said here (except for the doxxing). PC98 & Windows era Yuuka are the same ranking for me, though.
When you’re both type of Yuuka fans.
"Mokou and Kaguya are a bad couple"
Thats exactly why I'm on board this ship
Ctgp background tho....
I think your stereotypes are pretty strange there pal
Tewi fans: I’m fairly certain the last one I met was straight up Osama Bin Laden
Reisen fans: War Veterans
Eirin fans: that is I! I like Eirin, an Eirin fan you could say. The reason is Eirin is one of the few genuinely well written and human feeling characters in the series.
Kaguya fans: genuinely well written and human feeling character, can’t say much else since I’ve yet to meet someone who’s favorite is the ex-lunar princess.
Finally, the wait is over :3
Flings are funny jack,
and I love using Massacre on Mt. Ooe on trees in the hit Roblox game Gensokyo Arena!
MoF and SA next. Yes!
I am like the opposite of a lily white fan you described in the video XD
i need to become a rin satsuki fan
J o i n t h e R i n S a t s u k i c u l- I mean fanclub
@@bappityyyy oh sure
Suika fans: _Giantess fetishists_
Eirin fans: _Reisen bullying time 24/7_
Kaguya fans: _NEETs_
Mokou fans: _Either die-hard shippers of her with Kaguya or Keine_
Aya fans: _Rooms are filled with pictures of anime girl panties_
Yuuka fans: _Always picks evil options in games with a morality/alignment system_
That's funny. I'm an Aya fan and don't meet one of the items listed. I just started Touhou about 7 or 8 months ago as a complete noob. I came from a being survival horror gamer who hadn't played a SHMUP since my Sega Genesis. The first game I played was MoF and I hadn't joined any community at that time so the first 3 months of me playing Touhou was just figuring it out on my own. The first obstacle I faced was Aya. I hit a wall with Aya. I spent all my free time trying to take down Aya. I didn't even know about Tprac, so for me it was perfecting my run so I have enough lives for Aya to take. I almost gave up and thought I'd never be good enough to continue this experiment, so when I finally did take her down and started to do it consistently it felt like it was my first great achievement and inspired me to continue my quest to learn this new and alien genre. That's it, because my victory against Aya I didn't give up and I'm currently working on learning a Hard 1CC Mof. Yesterday I was dared to capture PWG on Lunatic and after a little over 2 hours I did. I'm still a noob, but I love Aya because she made me a better player and I bought a figure of her that sits behind my desk.
i not fan but i do enjoy touho fan work or people tell about touho like you. dunno why
As Reisen fan, half of them are true for me.
types of touhou fans:
lolipop lover (tewi) and those who like making lewd out of touhou
As a mokou fan,
thats only a faction of the fans, they're fighting with the other faction that HATES kaguya
I like Yuuka because she’s do CBT (Cognitive Behavior Training) with me :)
You like Yuuka cus you are masochist
4:49
im coming for you
Eirin fan are just Medic fan and main Medic
I'm Mokou fan because her music is a banger and I love lighting things on fire irl (petrol + matches = best combo)
I'm the type of reisen fan who just likes her boss fight in imperishable night and her character/powers in general
Nice to see someone calling out the draconian mods on r/touhou
I have been a fan of:
Early May 2022: Megumu
Mid-May: Aya
Late May: Reimu
Early June: Mokou (haven't changed my pfp since then)
Mid June: Tsukasa (seriously?????)
Late June: Junko (idk what I was even thinking)
Early July: Okuu
Mid July: Koishi
Late July: Seija
Early August: Youmu (alongside Yuyuko for some reason)
Mid August: Sanae (we are here, still here)
You just described me when Wriggle came on
I hate drama
But on the other hand I only played Lost Word but she’s my main sooooo
Wriggle fan = either a trans, like tomboy, or even worse like shota
Am i the only komachi fan in this comment section? 😢
I like her because i love her design and fighting style. + Scythes are awesome. Playing the extra stage in pofv so much in order to beat it gave me brainrot from trying any other character due to how different she plays, but she's still so fun to play. Same with soku, although i suck at that game, komach has really fun attacks to do. Not to mention komachi's theme is amazing and top tier. I am really sad komachi isnt so popular in the community.
I fell called out, Mokou was my favorite Touhou character at one point and Mokou x Kaguya is one of the best Touhou ships (up there with Reisen x Youmu and Reimu x Marisa).
Reisen is my favorite now though, I love rabbits lol.
Suika - Yep I will never let go of these jokes. Aaaaand I kinda had better luck with the fighting games than the shooters, but not without trying of course. Not a big Suika fan but she is fun.
Tewi - I never understood why people can't grasp that wi is a forgotten phoneme in Japanese and they should be pronouncing it Tewi if they're speaking a language that doesn't have this limitation, as her name is intentionally written that way.
Mokou - I like Mokou, but rather than shipping her with Kaguya, I just like to make fun of their feud. I have something on the backburner that makes fun of Mokou/Kaguya shippers while also making fun of Shakespeare... By giving them each an artificial child that Eirin grew from their DNA without their consent. (And Yukari plans to manipulate them to make Romeo and Juliet happen in Gensokyo)
Ah yes, astrology for touhou fans part 2
What about reisen fans who like firearms
As an Aya fan, I can confirm you are completely right about us
as a tewi fan i have to agree, my bedroom has a setup of my little pony toys and i have a pastel pink bed with a bunch of plushies on it
4:36 I feel personally attacked💀
Eirin masterrace! Ironically my 2nd favourite character, after Nitori.
as a reisen fan this is very real
i like her very much
i have real life bunnies
farmed reisen in lost word for no reason
played her everywhere especially in Hisoutensoku
cosplayed as her
and looking to buy a fumo somewhere anywhere
I like LOLK, although I have not beaten it. It's got cool grazing.
Tbh I was expecting the stereotypical Mokou fans to like her because she is a badass and hot af.
As a Rin Satsuki fan,i can say that people that like her are uncertain.
On one side they will be the most chill and quiet people you will ever find. They will most likely make fan art of her being happy around the rest of the Touhou cast like she supposed to be. (They will also joke about her being a Gaster of Touhou nonstop,and tell you about their vision towards her. And fanfics...)
On the other side,there's people that like her for the *Creepypasta* aesthetic and make her as depressed and creepy as possible on fan art or discussions,and hoping that she's going to eventually be added in atleast some kind of form in the future Touhou games. (Which is unlikely,considering that there was no mention about her from ZUN or his team for *21 years* now.)
They also might be both sides (me). Yeah,that's it.
I’m not sure I entirely understand the Satsuki fan joke.
Let’s just say that there’s a creepypasta involving her.
Bro reisen has big variety in fans, there is another tho, gun fans and military guys, probably because she was in the Lunar army.
I'm a Reisen fan because I'm a Rabi Ribi fan
As one of the very rare Hecatia fans, I'm curious how long thos series will take to reach her.
...It appears this is going more or less in release order, so probably a while. (But rip Keiki fans who will be waiting even longer.)
you got me dead on with that suika one, on both ends too lmaoooooo
You like Kaguya because she’s gorgeous. I like Kaguya because I know they story she is based on. We are not the same.
As a Reisen fan who also owns a pet bunny, the first type is accurate
im a EOSD fan, im from europe and i love meiling not as much as remilia and cirno but shes up there on the top 3
Can't wait for parsee
