@@Rianz4_7OXS That is a very good point that, although to be fair, this video was made long before she really hit the big time in Hidden Star in Four Seasons. (^_~)
I was non-touhou fan when I already knew about this song. I got curious to the characters who are entertaining in this video. As the time I become a touhou fan and sees this video again, it was the best thing Ive ever knew.
As a non-fan whose only experience with Touhou is Luna Nights I'm actually surprised that the characters I thought were exclusive to 6 like Reimu and Marisa were in earlier games Also Nitori being a 10 character was surprising lol
Reimu's always been the star of the show since the beginning, but I was surprised the first I discovered that Marisa didn't appear in the first Touhou game!
Same luna nights is my first touhou game and not to mention I listened to this song alot before hand only to realize it was touhou because I recognized Sakuya, and Marisa
The first three Touhou games were all pretty experimental, with 1 being a breakout-type game (bouncing ball into bricks, that type of thing), 2 being the first bullet hell (like every following _main_ game), and 3 being a side-by-side 2-player bullet hell (like only 9 and soon to be 19). It wasn't until Touhou 4, _Touhou Gensoukyou ~ Lotus Land Story_ that things really got set in place. Even still only 4 characters introduced in the PC-98 era (TH1-TH5) have ever made an appearance in the Windows eras, and all 4 are found here in this video. Reimu Hakurei, the OG main character, Marisa Kirisame, the human magician, Yuuka Kazami, Alice Margatroid. Of the four, Yuuka changed the least. The only obvious difference between her final boss appearance in TH4 and her appearance in TH9 is that her hair is shorter, other than that she's virtually unchanged. Marisa's color scheme was originally purple (now black) and Reimu had purple hair and a more traditional miko's outfit (now very dark hair, and less traditional outfit). Alice, evidently changed a fair bit, but I can't remember what exactly off the top of my head right now.
@@NightFuryis11Official Outside of the color scheme, Alice's outfit is almost entirely different, for instance she lost her big hair bow. She does however keep her book.
I don't know ANY of those characters, but somehow, not knowing them makss me happy, because it means that the video used a level of culture way deeper than expected
I find it weird that I went from having absolutely no clue who Reimu is to knowing half of these character off the top of my head after only playing 4 games
I’ve known what I though was a phrase, ‘Patchouli Knowledge’ in the back of my mind for years and this is how I discover it’s a Touhou character. My life will never be the same
3:22 omgd The song was ahead of its time since one of the meanings involves changes and at the beginning there is the current Marisa and Reimu and at the end the old Marisa and Reimu

Awesome video and amazing choice of artworks. Honestly this video is the reason I got more invested with Touhou. I noticed a little mistake tho: In the video it says "Kanako Yakasa" however apparently her name is "Yasaka"
This song goes so hard. I can't even count the amount of times I listened to it in my teenage years. I'm glad it's still being appreciated to this day by so many.
When i was a kid i used to play a eosd game in japanese i dont know if that game even exist anymore but when i saw bad apple for the first time and saw flandres shadow i was like "thats the girl from the game"
Bad apple is the biggest reason I'm a fan of touhou, the first time i heard the word "touhou" was on a song from jsab, in the comments there was a comment and the replies were talking about different bullet-hell games. One person mentioned touhou and I didnt know what it was but i kinda ignored it. The second time I saw a multilanguage cover of bad apple ( I had no idea what bad apple is, I just wanted to know if my language was included) and later I learned it was a touhou song. The final reason i got into touhou was the Toby fox collab when i thought "you know what? A bullet-hell with good music and interesting characters sounds fun!". I searched for the best touhou game to start with, and after getting a lot of different answers I decided to just simply buy the newest game (touhou danmaku kagura phantasia lost). And despite the fact that I didnt even finish the game yet, and bought it this february, I can already somehow recognise half the characters (maybe because I watch a lot of touhou related youtube videos and sometimes I just read the touhou wiki because Im bored). So yeah, this is how touhou became one of my favorite games. :)
Thanks to this video i know a lot more about touhou character touhou is my (second) favorite anime well technically fan made even though the game is old but i still like it
honestly this just makes me wanna get into touhou. like- i already love this song, and the character seem interesting, so i might as well, yk? hopefully i actually get around to it tho xd
Actual full list: (not full names) Reimu Marisa Reisen Marisa Patchouli Remilia Sakuya Flandre Youmu Yuyuko Komachi Eiki Mokou Keine (then demon version) Eirin Kaguya Prismriver sisters (Lunasa, Merlin, and Lyrica) Chen Ran Tewi Reisen SSIB reisen Reisen Momiji Sanae Hina Kanako(L) and Suwako(R) Yukari Tenshi Yukari then Tenshi Both Yukari and Tenshi together Aya Suika Alice Nitori Watatsuki sisters (Yorihime and Toyohime) Reisen Akyuu Akyuu and Reisen together Reisen Satori Orin/Rin Okuu Koishi Yuuka Elly Reimu PC-98 Marisa PC-98 Both Reimu and Marisa PC-98 Marisa Reimu For people who don’t understand: This list is for the full extended version of Bad Apple!!, which only appeared 3 times only in concerts.
As someone with a very loose knowledge of Touhou, it was quite interesting to find out that literally every character I recognize in Bad Apple is from Touhou 6 and 7 specifically.
It's because the first six games were for the PC-98; when the series moved to windows there was a soft-reboot, so touhou 6 could be thought of as the actual start of the series.
Thank you so much, but i have a question in 1:03 For a second theres like 'Saigyou Ayakashi' is it a mistake or there was like a girl that i didn't see?
They did update it w/ the characters of TH11 (However only the Komeji Sisters, Orin and Okuu), SSiB (Watatsuki Sisters and Reisen), and Hieda no Akyuu, and it is only 5 minutes long.
@@abbieyayy get your tourist ass out of the Touhou fandom. We do not recognize those who discover about Touhou through PRSK as real fans. The Touhou fandom does not welcome tourists.
This is one of my main criticisms of the animation. The song is a remix of one from the PC98 era, yet the only PC98 characters to make it in the animation are the 4 that survived to Windows and Elly (Who is only here because it is her stage theme). Why not celebrate the fact that it is a PC98 song and use mostly PC98 characters like Mima, Shinki, Rika, Ellen, Louise, Mugetsu, Gengetsu, Chiyuri, Yumemi, etc.
Most people wouldn’t know that this is touhou if they do that because most people now are fans of the modern era and probably didn’t know that PC 98 existed
I guess the problem is that most of PC-98 era's characters don't have much official content besides their in-game appearances, which mostly being only once besides Mima.
@@HyperVanilo there isn't much reason for sakuya to be spinning with her ARMS OPEN/T-Posing, literally Rumia's staple, sakuya starts doing her sakuya things when she actually appears
I think the T pose is also to imply Rumia’s presence but she’s probably a non major character like Cirno so they didn’t get much screen time and in the case of Cirno non at all
Help I'm half-remembering something, This character (0:50 Flandre Scarlet) has wings that look familiar, Except if the dark reddish-brown colour was white. Does anyone know what I might be thinking of? Other comparisons I've made includes one of the Dragoon parts in kirby, And Galeem's wings(?) in smash bros.
I’m getting acquainted with the Touhou lore (just spent my whole day on this) and wow rewatching bad apple feels like watching the avengers come together
While making the video I mostly just grabbed them from Google but all of the sprites are avaliable in much higher quality at the artist's (Dairi) Pixiv www.pixiv.net/en/users/4920496

This song goes so hard.
I can't even count the amount of times I listened to it in my teenage years.
I'm glad it's still being appreciated to this day by so many.
Love how I’m not a touhou fan yet I recognize every single one of the characters from their silhouette bc my sister won’t stop talking about touhou
I love that you put PC-98 for Reimu and Marisa at the end.
When i was a kid i used to play a eosd game in japanese i dont know if that game even exist anymore but when i saw bad apple for the first time and saw flandres shadow i was like "thats the girl from the game"
EoSD still very much exists.
One of the best transitions
it almost feels like everyone but cirno was shown
this is so sad for the strongest character to be forgotten
Ask the person who made the storyboard, their name is Mμ
I guess you could say this truly was a All Characters in Bad Apple!!
Only 35 out of 150+
1:28 - Takumi's mother?! 😅
Такумис
I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM DRAWN IN THIS ARTSTYLE BEFORE IT'S SO PRETTY :0
They're fanarts by dairi which is drawn in Alphes style (the artist for the Touhou fighting games)
Thank you! That's helpful!
I started with the fumos not knowing their names for the memes and giggles and now here i am
Bad apple is the biggest reason I'm a fan of touhou, the first time i heard the word "touhou" was on a song from jsab, in the comments there was a comment and the replies were talking about different bullet-hell games. One person mentioned touhou and I didnt know what it was but i kinda ignored it. The second time I saw a multilanguage cover of bad apple ( I had no idea what bad apple is, I just wanted to know if my language was included) and later I learned it was a touhou song. The final reason i got into touhou was the Toby fox collab when i thought "you know what? A bullet-hell with good music and interesting characters sounds fun!". I searched for the best touhou game to start with, and after getting a lot of different answers I decided to just simply buy the newest game (touhou danmaku kagura phantasia lost). And despite the fact that I didnt even finish the game yet, and bought it this february, I can already somehow recognise half the characters (maybe because I watch a lot of touhou related youtube videos and sometimes I just read the touhou wiki because Im bored). So yeah, this is how touhou became one of my favorite games. :)
Good
@@spacemmd8064 thanks
me n a friend are trying to recreate bad apple in a different version so this really helped a lot, thanks!!!
This 24fps smooth animation need 2 weeks to create 1 episode.
Good to know after a good while
Who made the wonderful artwork used in this video? Everyone looks fantastic here!
The artist's name is "dairi" lol
The actual animation is by a group called “あにら” (Anira)
Thanks to this video i know a lot more about touhou character touhou is my (second) favorite anime well technically fan made even though the game is old but i still like it
honestly this just makes me wanna get into touhou. like- i already love this song, and the character seem interesting, so i might as well, yk? hopefully i actually get around to it tho xd
I like to imagine that everyone was put into a recording studio to film this while Meiling and Koakuma stay at the SDM.

For people who don’t understand:
This list is for the full extended version of Bad Apple!!, which only appeared 3 times only in concerts.
WAIT THERE'S EXTENDED VERSION??
@@Lifeath_Heavell yeah.
Thanks for the character names!
As someone with a very loose knowledge of Touhou, it was quite interesting to find out that literally every character I recognize in Bad Apple is from Touhou 6 and 7 specifically.
It's because the first six games were for the PC-98; when the series moved to windows there was a soft-reboot, so touhou 6 could be thought of as the actual start of the series.
@@auisticcatnip5142First 5. EOSD is Touhou 6.
As someone who doesn't even know what Touhou is, I'm just vibing with the song
Also, the lyrics say something dark but it is upbeat music.
0:10 before i see this video i think she is kokomi 💀
LMAO
Bad Apple was seriously released before Genshin, and you think the first girl was kokomi??
@@Nenarenena im just jokin😨
So, do you know anything about Touhou now?
@@welcometodowntowncoolsville i thought
now I can memorize them and explain touhou to my friends using this video.
全員いるかと思ったら丸々地霊殿のキャラがいないことに驚いた
WOW WE GET TO KNOW CHRACTERS WHILE LISTENING TO AN AMAIZNG SONG!
Thank you so much, but i have a question in 1:03
For a second theres like 'Saigyou Ayakashi' is it a mistake or there was like a girl that i didn't see?
Saigyou Ayakashi is the name of the youkai tree in Perfect Cherry Blossom.
@@MisterNameGame
Oh ok thanks
unnecessary comment but, its the half dry tree that appeared after the sword sheathing scene
The Saigyou Ayakashi is the tree
I am really proud of how many I even slightly recognized
There are way too many damn characters to memorize.
悪魔の発注、神の制作と讃えられた作品。
I love how my knowledge of Touhou abruptly ends beyond Touhou 8
useless fact: only 3 of the characters in this video are seen wearing pants in any of the games.
Where ever a screen BAD APPLE WILL BE SEEN!!
I had no idea about this.. until r/place
sukia ibuki is literally me every morning i wake up
Fun fact: The judge of hell and heaven is called "Lady Enma" But the real name is actually "Eiki Shiki" or "Yamaxandu" who shows at touhou 9
Yamaxanadu is her title, not her name
Wow i wouldve never known that they even had names if it wasnt for this video
If they ever updated this to include the characters from TH11 and after it would be a 90 fuckin minute feature film
They did update it w/ the characters of TH11 (However only the Komeji Sisters, Orin and Okuu), SSiB (Watatsuki Sisters and Reisen), and Hieda no Akyuu, and it is only 5 minutes long.
You mean.. they’re not just monochrome characters dancing?? All these years 😭
These are just a fraction number, they're from 2002 to 2008 with one character from 1998. In total there are 150+ characters
There are 19 games (not counting the .3, .5, and .8 games), books, and even music cds full of characters. This is only a very small portion of them.

Of course a kid with PJSekai pfp only recognizes Eirin. Tourist moment.
@@OsugakiComplex ??? cornball

man i though hi3 players were chill😔
@@abbieyayy get your tourist ass out of the Touhou fandom. We do not recognize those who discover about Touhou through PRSK as real fans. The Touhou fandom does not welcome tourists.
i feel so stupid now i was watching the og bad apple and i recognize 90% of them but i didn't remember their names
This isn't the OG Bad Apple, the actual one is from 1998
This is one of my main criticisms of the animation. The song is a remix of one from the PC98 era, yet the only PC98 characters to make it in the animation are the 4 that survived to Windows and Elly (Who is only here because it is her stage theme). Why not celebrate the fact that it is a PC98 song and use mostly PC98 characters like Mima, Shinki, Rika, Ellen, Louise, Mugetsu, Gengetsu, Chiyuri, Yumemi, etc.
Most people wouldn’t know that this is touhou if they do that because most people now are fans of the modern era and probably didn’t know that PC 98 existed
I guess the problem is that most of PC-98 era's characters don't have much official content besides their in-game appearances, which mostly being only once besides Mima.
I'm sure this was commented somewhere, but sometimes Rumia is not identified and she's actually spinning in the second 0:44, then Sakuya appears.
There is no Rumia
@@HyperVanilo there isn't much reason for sakuya to be spinning with her ARMS OPEN/T-Posing, literally Rumia's staple, sakuya starts doing her sakuya things when she actually appears
@@Ruby-jh9ht
There is no Rumia. Why don't you watch the storyboard by Mμ? That if you can understand Japanese
0:43 isn't she actually Rumia ? Even if it lasted just a sec it looks like her ribbon
reminder this was made in the 2000s , not everything in this video is accurate
I think the T pose is also to imply Rumia’s presence but she’s probably a non major character like Cirno so they didn’t get much screen time and in the case of Cirno non at all
Rumia is certainly not there, in the storyboard used to make this, Rumia was never mentioned.
@@sussyerror6936 hm, figures
guess she wasn't major enough
What? I didn’t knew that there’s an extended Music video for of this song
This Bad Apple remix originally 5 minutes long, a guy named Mμ shortened it to 3 minutes
ah yes im a smart boy now
Yes very smart boi (b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b
first Touhou fan that has actually played the game
*2:42** Japanese Goblin Girl*
She is an ogre 👹
😂
She is oni.
Help I'm half-remembering something, This character (0:50 Flandre Scarlet) has wings that look familiar, Except if the dark reddish-brown colour was white. Does anyone know what I might be thinking of?
Other comparisons I've made includes one of the Dragoon parts in kirby, And Galeem's wings(?) in smash bros.
understandable. Thank you.
I’m getting acquainted with the Touhou lore (just spent my whole day on this) and wow rewatching bad apple feels like watching the avengers come together
There's a Marvel x Touhou fanfic
May I ask where you got the sprite for the pic ? The pic was nice and have the original vibe . Excellent video.
While making the video I mostly just grabbed them from Google but all of the sprites are avaliable in much higher quality at the artist's (Dairi) Pixiv www.pixiv.net/en/users/4920496
@@MisterNameGame I see. Thanks for the reply.
Thank you for your knowledge lad.
Me: How could someone know the characters?
Everyone else: Hey, it just happens
Because they're from a series game?
By 'it just happens' means they saw the characters from R18 manga
@@HyperVanilo And also the Memories of Phantasm from Fantasy Kaleidoscope.
