Fujiwara no Mokou, one of the most polarizing characters between canon and fanon. On one hand, she's a friendly loner who has beef with Kaguya, and on the other hand, she's an antisocial pessimistic smoke addict that... really likes Kaguya.
Yeah no Gensokyo ain't surviving a Fanon Mokou outbreak, for as long as Kaguya exists (forever).
First sprite animation of 2023, this was a fun one to make. There is less animation and more "cinematics" in this, but regardless I wanted to have more practice with effects and such. After all, it's all about the journey, not the destination ;)

Mokou in canon is essentially a hobo with too much free time. Like, she let people assassinate her for a test of courage and let herself be possessed by Mamizou just to try it out.
As someone with too much free time I can tell you... at some point you're just plain bored.
You see a group of mobsters kick in your door and open fire with Tommy guns, you just perk up and go “Finally, some excitement!“
She is the embodiement of "that one unemployed friend at 3PM on a Wednesday"
@@DrunkenCoward1 so relatable. Love it when that happens 😊😊
@@DrunkenCoward1 i can relate dude
@@DrunkenCoward1 relatable fr fr
Canon Mokou: "I am going to kill Kaguya..."
Fanon Mokou: "I am going to kill Kaguya... *with kindness."*
Also Canon Mokou: I am going to protect Kaguya from a vengeful spirit...
In cheating detective satori, mokou says that when kaguya sneaks out to the village, mokou'd even show her around... dunno what to make of that
@@wolfy-wooIn Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, Aya notes that the two have a cat and dog relationship. They're not fighting all the time, just some of the time
Fanon Mokou: I am going to kill Kaguya by punching the back of her mouth with my tongue.
Pretty sure fanon Mokou is more like: "I am going to kill Kaguya... that's what qualifies as foreplay to us."
About Canon Mokou...
She actually knows Kaguya sneaks out of Eientei and show her around the Human village as well.
based Mokou.
That's Foul Detective Satori, yes Mokou does.
Many things were revealed in that series. I wonder how did those MokoKagu shipper felt when that got revealed
And then Eirin was surprised that Mokou knew how to infiltrate Eintei despite the fact that she is, you know, kinda obsessed with it. Like did she really think that Mokou wouldn’t know how to get in? She stalks the place on a monthly basis.
My revengal and saves hatred could NEVER
I like how this is one of the few fanons i actually dont hate by much. Couldn't say the same for most of fanon versions unfortunately
For me i like all of the fanon interpretation
Because well let's just say they are more entertaining to watch
Preach. The “Fanon” Touhou characters are actually cringe-inducing most of the time.
@@oranjaglad8648 you're not wrong, that's why i cringe in my sleep whenever i'd even heard the word "Alice" because of the fandom
@@redactedgamersgd1788 Or Ran being perverted over Chen. Or Tenshi being a masochist. Or Yuuka being a sadistic Mary Sue (seriously, that honestly ruined Yuuka for me for a long time because of how overused it was).
The Touhou fandom basically made me realize that there's a difference between "alternative character interpretation" and straight-up character assassination. Unsurprisingly, it's the DEFINITION for the latter.
The fanon that annoys me the most is that EVERYONE is gay, and some people take it SUPER seriously and they'll get mad at you if disagree. I legit had someone unironically tell me "who are they supposed to be straight for? There are no men in Touhou."
Like, broo???? Half the cast is or looks about 10 years old??? Why are you so interested in the romantic (and most definitely sexual) relationships of little girls playing pretend??? That's super creepy, man...
I've always wondered how the touhou fandom sees a character and completely 180's their personality.
because memes
@@sirius6738 Well yeah, but it's still crazy that a character becomes unrecognizable after fanon gets their hands on them.
It's Flanderization. You have to understand that characters get introduced and then for years there is no official appearance again.
Mokou didn't appear from 8 to 15.5.
In that time her only characterization is what she says and does on her one appearance.
And people take those few character points and put them center stage.
Then fans of those fans take that interpretation and take it even further.
It's mythologization, basically. Is that even a word? It is now.
@@DrunkenCoward1 Thats probably the case. Though didn't Eiki (for example) actually have a personality before fandom made one up for her?
@@IEatHats It can also happen that people simply write doujin about a character with their own interpretations (which diverge from canon) that then stick for several reasons. One being that fans that perpetuate and share those new fanworks don't play the games first (as would be the case for me).
Sometimes characters just... grow into something completely different by accident.
you are fire at editing
Mokou theme is also fire
That first scene in 3D tho.. very well done
Another Funny thing about Mokou is that she's one of few characters (maybe the only character) in Memories of phantasm where she's actually based on her canon side comparing to the rest of the cast who's obviously based on their fanon side.
I guess its because of just how blatantly far mokou is from fanon other than liking a fight.
Alice also is similar to her canon version
Fanon Mokou: (A literal pyromaniac)
Canon Mokou: (One of the chilliest characters in the franchise)
Unless you’re Kaguya
Hey we already have a pyromaniac. She throws plates and is a taoist
Yeah, she's chill, just don't have the name Kaguya or your cooked (literally)
@@N_Tertainment7you don't have to have the name, you've to be her.
Fittingly, a lot of Pre-Lolk Lunarians also have some very wildly different fanon versions.
Kaguya gets interpreted as either a shut-in (based on the lore that she had to stay inside to survive, which until this last couple of years people could only see as something done by choice) or a terrible person (by taking Mokou's early description of her at face value).
Yorihime and Toyohime get treated as being racist (because we had heard that Lunarians are like that and nobody realized the irony of profiling the first citizens they saw).
And Eirin... gets the shaft.
Really? From what i've seen Eirin is always protrayed as extremely powerful and either the only sane woman (when around Kaguya) or a psychopath (when around Reisen)
The Kaguya thing is spot on though, it's weird to find a Doujin where she isn't a garbage person, especially when Mokou is on the scene (who is portrayed as a complete saint who only reacts to Kaguya's BS)
Tewi is consistently a bth though XD i read a lot of doujins featuring the Lunar crew
@@ironmaster6496 Exactly. I feel like Kaguya gets a LOT of hate, and the bias towards Mokou shows. Seriously, people act like if you like either Kaguya or Mokou, you HAVE to hate the other one, and it just comes across as childish to me (I get they’re sworn enemies sometimes in canon, but come on).
@@ironmaster6496Canon Eirin is a psychopath at all times.
@@oranjaglad8648 Pretty sure at this point they aren't even actually blood-feuding enemies anymore, they just keep acting as such because *bored immortals go brrrrrrr*
As for Kaguya...if memory serves Kaguya is just a way less hongry and way more eccentric version of Yuyuko: Airheaded Powerhouse with a tendency to get bored.
Reisen II is Yorihime's slave. I think that's pretty racist if you ask me
So basically,
Fanon: Crazy, suicidal
Canon: Friendly (except to Kaguya)
Maybe her fanon depiction is Kaguya’s ideas. 🤔
And can’t wait to see another of those videos for other characters. 🙂
Then again, Detective Satori has shown the two of them can and do get along from time to time.
@@EntityXIII Rarely ?
@@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712 Not exactly. Albiet one-sided, Mokou actually cares about Kaguya, despite the hell she put Mokou through. Sure, she still has a bit of resentment towards her, but Kaguya is the only other person she knows that shares her curse of immortality. After all, it's quite hard for an immortal to make bonds with mortals when the immortal knows those bonds aren't gonna last forever, and it'll take up a mere speck of their lifespan. As a result, Mokou still genuinely cares about Kaguya because she's the only other person who knows Mokou's pain, and if Kaguya's gone, Mokou won't have anyone left who can sympathize with how much of a burden being immortal is.
@@Youhadabadday2021That’s why it could be said that their relationship is probably can be considered something like Tom and Jerry. They constantly screw each other over, but in the end they know they need the other in their lives.
Mokou protect Kaguya from Mizuchi but failed, got possessed by Mizuchi in FDS.
Fanon: Bad ass immortal that will pick a fight with anyone and is very suicidal and loves Kaguya.
Canon: Very chill homeless person and is only disrespectful to Kaguya and sometimes to the people of Eientei and wants to kill her.
Crazy how if you think about it, other than Kaguya she dosn't pick fights with anyone, everyone pulls up on her. She just chilling then suddenly someone wants smoke.
Still badass though.
Fanon Mokou tends to vary from what I've seen. But the major thing all variations of Fanon Mokou share is their hatred for Kaguya and the desire to kill her in some capacity.
That said, nowadays it seems Mokou and Kaguya are friendly rivals (or possibly even just friends) instead of sworn enemies given that in Violet Detector/Foul Detective Satori, Mokou says she knows Kaguya sneaks out of Eientei to go to the Human Village and even shows her around the place while confronting the culprit behind everything.
As for ideas for other Fanon VS. Canon, how about Flandre (which can give folks *a lot* of mental whiplash for not keeping up with Touhou), Utsuho, Sakuya and Remilia.
Canon Flandre isn't too far from Fanon. If we're talking about the fanon interpretation of her wanting to destroy everything for fun. (th17.5)
Mokou is badas
Until the jelly donut comes in.
But why jelly donut though ?
@@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712 because jelly donuts are so scary
@@Lunil Of all things ?!
@@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712 well I'm not Mokou sooooo... 🤷♀
@@Lunil Either Mokou thought jelly donut is something else other than food, or that doesn’t really exist. Is it ?
I see you Luna Prism with that Kratos falling meme, can't fool me.
Mokou as LTG saying his speech to Kaguya fits so well its scary.
people tends to forget that the pyro part of the fanon is based on the pyro period Moukou had after drinking the Hourai elixir, she literally spent 300y burning everything down. Though now she's more of a chill wanderer than a war criminal
bro that's literally roadwarrior from Anbennar
So they read a bit into Mokou's part of CiLR and just stopped?
0:26 That "hi" I recognized that voice somewhere...
*_History of the Entire World I guess_*
Fanon Mokou when Kaguya: 😘
Fanon Mokou: BURRRRN BURRRRN BURN TO THE GROUND BURN TO THE GROUND
Canon Mokou: Yo what's up
Both versions: Float around Kaguya in a way or another
Great as always, i love how dynamic this one was and the contrast makes it really hilarious, one of my favorites
Was that a goddamn Mega Man X7 reference?
For a moment I thought you had forgotten the fact that she is being shipped with her mortal enemy
All joking aside to, it's the only thing that makes sense.
Kaguya is basically Mokou's oldest acquaintance and the only one who will be around as long as Mokou.
Mokou WILL end up with her. It'd be stupid not to.
@@DrunkenCoward1 only not because there's no romance in touhou?
@@DrunkenCoward1 assuming they care to have a relationship
@@DrunkenCoward1That’s presupposing.
For example, they could just be friends or rivals.
Not saying I don’t ship them.
Only adult Mokou and adult Kaguya though, the love stories are great.
Anyway, I personally don’t think of it as canon because shipping an eternal child (well, she isn’t Tenshi, more like a REALLY young looking adult) with an eternal adult feels weird.
Anyway, I thought that young adult (or basically a day off that) Mokou was canon because of the whole “HONOOOOOOUUUUUUR” thing.
Nope, her official art is that of a child.
(4 heads tall, compared to Reimu being 5 heads tall, using AoCF art. Reimu’s roughly as old as Marisa, who was in her mid teens during the PC 98 era (while not referenced much, it is officially canon to the windows era) so she’s somewhere between that and late 20s now.
By the way, heads in anime is usually used to convey physical age, but shorter characters are given bigger heads sometimes)
And AoCF’s art style is consistent, so… Mokou’s physically roughly the same age as Tenshi was when she ascended.
Why did I rant?
@@BuruKyu --which makes TeruMoko just as plausible a ship as just about any other. So what's your point?
As much as Mokou and Kaguya say that they hate each other, I don’t think they would be able to (mentally) live without each other.
@@dytona1223 which is which
I think both of them could. Kaguya never planned to have Mokou around and got along just fine without her. And besides she has Eirin. Mokou on the other hand spent a long time immortal thinking that Kaguya went back to the moon before having found her. While she didn’t do quite as well, she did try to find ways to cope. Mostly by rejecting all interaction and killing anyone she ran into.
@@magicyber909
Yea, they would still live, but mentally?
They’ll likely be bored out of their immortal life. The fact that I’m pretty sure both of them tend to go out of their way to annoy the other mean they definitely enjoy it.
@@fyro4137
Both of them are a bit of both.
Funny thing is, they don't seem to outright hate each other anymore, at most keeping up the front of a blood feud because bored immortals need some bullshit to do.
Like, in one of the new manga (Cheating Detective Satori i think?) Mokou is literally accompanying Kaguya in the village when the latter sneaks out.
The ending explains everything about moko and im lovin it
I actually like the two versions,but in the two ones Kaguya affects Mokou in two distinct ways
No matter what Mokou does or say, she will still be my #1 favorite
Same
I can’t believe the funny umbrella girl was there, almost fell out of everything from the shock of spookiness
Fanon Mokou: Edge x1000
Canon Mokou: Chill
UR PRACTICALLY ZUN CANON MOKOU IS SO FUCKING CANON
0:17 SING WITH ME SING FOR THE YEAR
Kaguya is basically the deadpool to canon mokous wolverine.
They hate the other naturally but bond by being able to tear eachother to shreds.
That ending tho lmao.
Also Kogasa Jumpscare
It’s time to kick ass and chew yakitori
And I’m all out of yakitori

I love how you still included the ship in the canon section just for good measure.
i can't see someone falling from a height without mentally playing dream on
the editing/animation is really sick
i specially liked the part where she dropped from that [funny tall place which name i don't know because i'm bad at english]
Abyss, Cliff, Precipice
its called a cliff, im not a native english speaker and i know how you feel
>funny tall place

Tough edgy Phoenix of destruction VS Funny grilled chicken salesman.
Ah yes the ending was so relatable
Not sure how accurate this is now that some of the latest chapters of the official manga have revealed that as of late Mokou has been regularly breaking into Eintei without Eirin's knowledge to sneak out Kaguya to give Kaguya tours of the Human Village and hang out together.
The suichouka manga?
Mokou when she meets everybody else:
Hi, nice to see you! Can I help you with something? 😊
Mokou when she meets Kaguya:
(takes out a slipper)
*I will send you to Jesus*
Who's next yuuka
Canon:calm and will not harm anyone if they don't do harm to yuuka flower and caring person
Fanon:Scary face,sadistic that will make you and anyone flee not even dare to go to the garden look like yandere and most important she is sad and lonely deep inside
Or
“I will make sure you won’t have a SPINE today.”
Now we need fanon and canon reisen
She is not high or a drug dealer i swear to go-
Fanon Mokou:
She is sad and suicidal and dangerously aggressive and she wants to kill Kaguya but she's also gay for her.
Canon Mokou:
Bro wtf I'm not depressed and I wouldn't hurt a fly! And I'm not gay, what's wrong with you!?
Canon Mokou are just chilling time to have a good moment with Gensokyo resident execpt Kaguya that always fighting
And some Ending: Why are you Gae ?
0:17
mokou thinks she's kratos
That discord in the description caught me off guard. Well done 😂
She’s still the coolest in both, AND YOUR ANIMATION MAKES IT EVEN BETTER 💥💥💥
I like how you hide something at last secounds of this video
I got hospitalized by that kogasa jumpscare
Wow, amazing editing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Surprisingly enough, I only know the canon version (except Kaguya x Mokou, that is totally definitely absolutely canon)
Great video!
Could you do Fanon Eiki vs. Canon Eiki sometime?
Canon Eiki is one of the characters I have the most respect for in the series, seeing as she's very just and fair, having a mature and responsible personality, no more no less than what's expected of the Yama. All of those powerful characters such as Yukari, Reimu, Kanako, Remilia... they will all meet Eiki in the end, and will be judged accordingly on whether or not they will go to heaven or hell. Eiki will actually explain in details to those who she judges on what their mistakes and sins were and how to lead a better life, giving them advice on how to not end up in hell. She's one of the few characters who, regardless of what perspective you see her from, there's nothing to dislike her for. The role she takes, how she acts... Definitely one of my favorite characters in the cast. And in contrast to the "version" I'm about to describe next, she's pretty tall, significantly taller than Reimu, per se.
...As for the fanon version, Eiki is an angry loli who keeps yelling "LAW! CONVICT! YOU HAVE BIGGER BOOBS THAN ME, YOU GO TO HELL! LECTURE LECTURE LECTURE" *angry loli noises
I feel like that portrait of her she's known by completely disrespects and shows no regard for her character. I understand that, for comical effect, the fanon versions of characters over exaggerate their main traits, but in Eiki's case, it just ruins her reputation, since her fanon is how she's mostly known to be and has nothing to do with her actual self.
some other videos you could do of characters whose fanon versions have nothing to do with their canons are Reimu, Ran, Flandre...
They already did a while back.
@@Youhadabadday2021 oh, they did?
my bad, I didn't know.
Eiki is not a good person in canon. Yukari is obviously also able to beat Eiki in a fight so she won't be judged.
@@whyamihere3973 and what makes you think she is not a good person?
@@user-od9zr8qq5d She canonically takes bribes. Sends people to hell based on Buddhist morals and keeping order. Giving a facade of objective morality.
Of course due to Buddhist propaganda, many Touhou fans give respect to Eiki when she does not deserve it.
Yukari is the one who deserves respect not Eiki, not the moonbitches, and not Hecatia.
I read somewhere that canon mokou doesn't eat until she can't bear the pain anymore or something.
I like Mokou. But the scene where she went into a 1-minute rant about how Kaguya's life is as valuable as a summer ant and that she should kill herself NOW was a bit too heavy. I guess I underestimated how dark ZUN could make the dialogue of a Touhou game.
"FIRE" animation !! 🔥
Amazing edit yooo
You edit these very well
Your videos are awesome
The touhou fandom is very lucky to have you
Legitimately, I thought fanon Mokou was the same as canon Mokou. All I see are memes of her telling Kaguya to go die.
Is fanon Mokou really like that? 'Cos I've never noticed her being depicted like that. In fact, I've seen her being more depicted like her canon version here in fanon. Only her relationship with Kaguya really varies...
The ending LOL
FR tho, I do love both so much!
Tried to see what was written at the end of the video by slowing it down, got MUCH more than I bargained for
fanon mokou is invincible cause inmortality.
canon mokou knows better than piss off someone who can truly make her regret that inmortality.
Mokou is badass. I don´t see the problem with that.
I like both.
I wouldn't be surprised if even the canon Mokou is passively depressed.
That 3d was fire
0:08 mokou after one piece dies and enters gensokyo
It’s funny because it’s fanon mokou
"kiss yourself"
kaguya : 😳🥵
mokou : 😏🤤
kogasa : 🦉
me : 🦉
canon Mokou is actually rather depressed. She canonically would starve herself too
Fanon = lesbian
Someone should make a "dream on" meme from that last clip in the fanon section.
Fanon Mokou: Don’t come near me, I’m about to commit arson 🔥🔥😈🔥🔥
Canon Mokou: _Everywhere at the end of time_ 😢😔🫠
Omg omg
No seriously this is fire
unpopular opinion:
When I think of Mokou, I often think of Inuyasha except - N O T boring ! *d(^w^)
fanon mokou gae with kaguya
Actually though, she does show Kaguya around the village from time to time,
They still have the rivalry though, they’re immortals, why can’t they have cool explosive fights with extra impossible spell cards for flavour?
The ending tho 😳
Mokou was one of the first characters that I knew about before the canon, and when in the canon she was not an edgy avenger, but a chill person, then I 🙂
The ending just killed me, very weeell. Waiting for your next video in this format! Fanon vs canon Sakuya would be really funny 💀👍🏻
Where is my pocket Shinmy ?
"Kaguya, pass me the blunt"
I love it and I'm more a Kaguya fan but it's prefect
Fanon mokou - has balls to fight anyone she like (including reimu), watching doujin for relief, depressed woman
Canon mokou - rival of princess kaguya, too scared to fight anyone but neutral to them
Imagine if this was the first video of touhou for a new fan
I love when mokou brings fire to marisa house
Fanon Mokou: super cool and awesome
Canon Mokou: :3
The immortal suffering
Missed opportunity to play Doomsday Zone from Sonic 3 at the last scene lol
Otherwise a funny short animation
Fanon Mokou: I'm invencible *a depresión stage and recovery*
Cannon: Hi guys, Fuck kaguya 🗿
is that really how fanon see Mokou as? all the fan stuff that i saw usually give Mokou that really chill vibe that just goes along with everything or just straight up depression from loneliness which then get cure by either Kaguya or Keine.
Hey to be fair...
Mokou also has her fangirl side with the Primsrivers :P
0:11 0:27 best parts
The only thing that can terrify Fanon Mokou is a jelly donut.
Canon is scared of jelly donuts
0:19 Una pregunta no soy el unico que sintio que esa parte es el meme de kratos cachendo al avismo
When I see her using a spellcard as a suicidal bomb in 14.3, I'm not surprised the fandom sees her as such.
Keep
Yourself
Safe
Now where is my pocket shinmy
Sweet ❤️
The ltg part got me 😭
Wait why i hear music somewhere ... 0:19
If isn't The Rules that do not kill a youkai even humans?
Mokou committed genocide every youkai and humans.
