Sariel, if you want to be a bit realistic about it, is as OP as anything can get. A Fallen Angel has so much power yet it seems to keep its holy aspect of itself rather than its sibling, Shinki who went to become the Goddess of Demons and Overlord of Makai. But, I'd love to see Sariel revive with Mima together, Touhou would explode via fan cries! XD
JohnTGamer Honestly I don’t expect ZUN to revive her from the last. However, I would love to do that for a fan game once I’m done with other stuff. Honestly, I want to push bullet hell’s story and character presentation a lot more. With a revival of this character, she deserves that. And bloody purple hair Reimu too. It’s lacking even in Zun’s works. Show don’t tell is such a key rule. So I’d love to show ZUN how well I could compete with him haha. But that’s in the future, too busy with my current project for this. But once I’m done, I’ll finally have the time for it.
If you take a close look, this battle is kinda interesting, and tells the story of the entire game. At 0:47 she summon two angels to help her At 1:02 a lot of hands envolved with fire appear, apparently reacting to her power, which means they are fighting in the middle of some hellfire with lots of dead people suffering. At 1:26, the background images suggests that she was an enemy of the previous shrine owner, maybe she was sealed? At 3:20, the scenes suggests that she was sealed once again So the story of the game goes like this: Sariel, like her title "angel of death" says, was an archangel and was responsible of taking the sinners to hell. However, she started taking a liking to it, and created her own "hell" on Makai where she tortures people at her liking. People started suffering, and some people started to pray to be saved. The previus shrine maiden noticed this (which explain the name of the game "highly responsive to prayers), and fought sariel and sealed her inside the fallen shrine. After the shrine maiden died the seal became weaker, and Sariel, with her autority over dead, ordered Konngara to burn/destroy her shrine as a act of revenge. Reimu then beats Konngara, and apparently seals her, since the ending scenes of the Jigoku route shows that, and also somehow discovers where the real culprit is. Then, after beating some mini-bosses, she fight Sariel to seal her once again.
@@SonicLion2 I'd love to see a remake of this game, and having a remake of this song, aside from Akyu's, which i personally don't like too much, could be pretty cool, altrough it's pretty unlikelly. Zun could also take the opportunity to explain Reimu origin a bit better.
@@Elismar-Alves I agree, but ZUN doesn't like to talk too much about the PC-98 era and even touch them, seems that he wants to hide these games' existence. It's sad.
This makes a lot of sense actually. Specially because Sariel feels like a completely unique and different entity from all the rest. The good ending apparently implies that Sariel died for good and got reincarnated as a fairy... There's a theory going around that fairy was Cirno
god this one just shows how much zun loves megaten, the designs look like something from smt. i'd love if this aesthetic made a comeback, and specially the music of this game which is somewhat eerie. not that i dislike flying loli bosses but this was just so cool. plus zun is god tier with fm synths
@@bluepikmin6363 well it's a bit of a theory of mine lol, but specially these pc98 era games have a bit of references to megaten games of the era. for example, touhou 5 stage 5 has very similar textures to lucifer's castle on smt2. also there's some quotes from devil summoner (the saturn one) when you beat the game.
Glad someone pointed that out because he's stated a couple of times that Megami Tensei (along with Kiki Kaikai & Puyo Puyo) was an inspiration to the series. Also the majority of characters aren't "lolis" that's just a stereotype.
Imagine Sariel in a fighting game including her second form. I’d love to see HRTP bosses recreated in MUGEN. Insert mock-up of Reimu fighting Sariel IAMP/SWR/Hisotensoku style here.
God fucking damnit it triggers me way too much how half the comments here are "asriel" and not something about hoping she comes back in a newer game/someone saying he likes her theme etc.
It helps if you read the final chapters of Wild and Horned hermit specifically how Kasen mentioned her oni arm being hidden at Hakurei Shrine and consuming someone there as well as looking at the memory bubbles Sariel draws from Reimu during their fight.
It is generally my experience, at least in terms of SMT, that killing an angel will generally lead to somewhere between misfortune and cataclysm. I do believe poor reimu here got the latter.

Asriel (from undertale) in his GoH form is just a reference to Sariel also his name is just Sariel with the A and S swapped so when i battle asriel in true pacifist i can just say "Bro you're literally a reference to a touhou 1 character (Sariel)you aren't special."
Sariel means “beloved my god” that is very beautiful and sad but why Reimu do this? So she’s an atheist woman and now she wanted to fight with Sariel Archangels are the evil one? No it’s a good thing by angels they wanted to protected give her money and now she wanted to gifting something no broken has no poor cause she’s sad depressed and poor like no way in hell cause she wanted some money she hated here but no way to go how far away. Reimu is poor hiding several bodies fascist racist and albanian. Those theories are strange facts about Reimu Hakurei is not what you think it is. That’s just a theory a Touhou Theory. Thanks for watching.
Asriel is a near ripoff of this boss, sariel. You can even realize why, because... Swap a and s placement in asriel. What you get? Sariel, of course. Yeah, take that undertale fanboys. *also, I dont give a fuck about your arguments, undertale fanboys and fangirls.*

the OG touhou
50% of comments: Undertale
25% of comments: rip yin yang
25% of comments: rip sariel
Me: reimu's pc98 hair looks nice
I’m both
God fucking damnit it triggers me way too much how half the comments here are "asriel" and not something about hoping she comes back in a newer game/someone saying he likes her theme etc.
Nobody is mentioning how the ring around her is the Shin Megami Tensei symbol (seriously look up SMT 1 SNES intro)
Not only that but for some reason i just get older SMT vibes from touhou 1 specifically
I love the windows games but i have to say that sariel is the most epic boss in touhou
Actually there's a hidden origin story for Reimu in this battle sequence.
How?
I still don’t get the hidden story you know? I still wonder what does it mean?
It helps if you read the final chapters of Wild and Horned hermit specifically how Kasen mentioned her oni arm being hidden at Hakurei Shrine and consuming someone there as well as looking at the memory bubbles Sariel draws from Reimu during their fight.
Me going to tell my kids in 2030 that this is touhou back then
best ending ever lmao
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
I agree (btw where is chen)
Omg Yukari???
Reimu do be tossing that yin yang ball
*Hmmm yes.. Reminds Me of a certain dodging game with a Goat God as a Final Boss with a Red MC*
and the bombs STILL wreck my vision and hearing, but really like sariel still, what a cool boss
3:55 what happened!? Is that an explosion?
F4 Shinoru I guess the yin yang ball doesn'it supressed its inner energia and, well... vanished the earth.
It is generally my experience, at least in terms of SMT, that killing an angel will generally lead to somewhere between misfortune and cataclysm. I do believe poor reimu here got the latter.
Wow, i think This one is more Good than the other windows touhou. Because the background is bigger and the cutscene is moving
Concepts that Zun could be using in the modern games, it would be cool.
And that's not even Lunatic mode... look how many projectiles and beams she fires!
Seeing Reimu without her face in the end is kinda creepy.
seeing this guy start the fight with 7 lives instead of 3 made me realise i made a mistake at some point
Killing angel=bad, i do believe that this is the first japanese game with that sentiment. That or SMT and Bayonetta are more popular
I think smt did it first
SMT is much older than this.
Well the boss is named after what is either an angel of death or a *_fallen_* angel.
and funny enough, the ring around Sariel is the exact same 1 like the Megami Tensei logo too.
GG, I think that was beautiful
Keep going!
The heroine in this game doesn’t look like Reimu...
*Looks like Konngara*
More like Sayo-chan from Kiki Kaikai
Wait, this boss fight as only 1% of the screen deadly ? *really*
mean, in touhou 1 you also have to deal with having a hitbox that is kinda sorta accurate to your sprite
Also you can only move back and forth on the bottom
And you can get killed by your own ying yang ball
@@Summy_99 yeah that sucks
@@Itz_Sophia19nah, it fits for the game
Strange.....why does it looks familiar?*looks at undertale* ohhhhhh
Will zun make the remakes of 5 pc98 games? That would be awesome if touhou project have an anniversary.
