Byakuren General

Formely known as /2hug/ - Touhou General
Previous thread: >So what is this game?
Touhou is a bullet hell game made by ZUN. Instead of ship or robots it features anime girls fighting youkai and such.

>Where should I start?
The games until 5 were designed for the PC-98 platform, which would require an emulator. It's recommended you start either with the twelth (seventh Windows game) or the second game (as the first one isn't a bullet hell) and work your way up from there. Some games aren't your usual bullet hells but should be played anyway
1: Arkanoid's drunk abusive cousin
7.5, 10.5, 12.3, 13.5, 14.5: Fighting games
The others follow the basics of the bullet hell genre but usually add a game play twist. Once you're done with the main series you can move on to the fangames, of which some are of excellent quality.

>Byakuren shitpost
of course

...

literally half the discussion last thread was about Byakuren

Yeah don't worry found the episode last night eventually, and you posted episode 1, not 9!

I suppose their OPs and EDs would be a select bunch of these yuuhei-satellite.jp/discography

Well. First come, first served.

Oh sorry, I guess Veeky Forums does show playlists, I was trying to give you all 1-8

>Have to use this thread

Yeah, just because two guys spent the whole thread shit posting about byakuren, doesn't mean we need to make the new thread bait for more of it.

Reposting:
I guess the only logical way is too make humans less fear of youkai by imposing as youkai exterminator. Saving youkai is different from strengthen the fear of youkai. What does have to do with Byakuren's "youkai needs"?

So can ordinary humans learn magic in the 2huverse?

>OP didn't even number it.
As expected desu.

>No /2hug/ in the subject field
>No number 70

Leave it to Byakuren to disappoint.

I could phrase that a bit better:

I guess the only logical way to stay immortal is too make humans less fear of youkai by imposing as a youkai exterminator. Saving youkai is different from strengthen the fear of youkai. Seems to be the exact opposite of Byakuren's "youkai needs"?

Marisa exists to so yes.

Yes, I thought that's why there's a distinction of natural born magician youkai (like Patchy) and humans who turned themselves into magician youkai through magic (like Alice).

>Marisa exists
Sadly

And poof, the fear towards youkai is gone too when Byakuren said they have been killed. No way, are you implying that she let go of youkai so that they can kill other people again? Seems pretty fucked up to me. Remember, youkai NEED to kill outside of Gensokyo. I'm questioning why she acts as youkai exterminator.

You need to get your mana from somewhere, that's why Marisa eats 4 SCOOPZ of mushroom protein every day

Sad for you, maybe. It's a wonder Marisa exists and the world is a better place thanks to her.

Yeah, but if they are from the village they would get fortune telled

>Yeah, but if they are from the village they would get fortune telled

So what if I as a human from the outside world ended up working at the SDM and got magic lessons from Patchy in my free time?

Fortune teller wanted to become a Youkai tho. If a human wants to learn magic without turning into one, then it should be fine.

I want her to be mindraped by Okina

Sorry everyone, it's just that someone can't bother to read the official works and needs to be spoonfed for every single claim that has already been settled paragraphs ago. I genuinely encourage everyone in this thread to make their own discussions to create variety, as this might be very boring.
>they can kill other people
No.
>youkai NEED to kill outside of Gensokyo
They don't. They just need fear.
>she acts as youkai exterminator.
This happened for a very brief period centuries ago, as she dropped this plan even back in the day, stop misusing past and present tense for your own convenience.

For reference of next thread,
The thread should be named
>Touhou General /2hug/ #71

This ones probably gonna get deleted, and the next one should be 70, just to piss off the shitposter that decided it was a good idea.

en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Memento_in_Strict_Sense/Youkai
>However, the reason most youkai attack humans is because they need prey.
This is outside of Gensokyo.

I thought Youkai killed humans outside the village?

I thought death in 2hu was just a myth?

only outside worlders, human villagers are protected. even then youkai don't kill people, they just need the fear and belief, they do consider humans to be a delicacy though.

They kinda need to eat though.

Outside youkai need to kill humans

And what source do you have for that? PMiSS is strictly from a gensokyo perspective.

They might not even need to eat, but either way they do eat things like eel and such, what with mystia running a grilling stand. so who the fuck even knows man.

When does an outside worlder stop being an outsider?
Sanae is a human from the outside world but became a resident of Gensokyo. Do you have to join an existing faction or be strong enough to form a new one? Would an outsider get accepted as a resident of Gensokyo if he joined the youkai at the SDM or Eientei?

Pretty much, you stop being an outside worlder once you integrate with a faction or establish one.

Why does touhou have so many beloved characters, while other popular series' characters are just good for porn?

Poor Kasen.

Because most of them are smug pieces of shit instead of the soulless uguu waifubait trash with no personality

An outsider when found by Reimu she takes it either back or lets it stay and settle on the village.

Touhou has way less waifu bait characters, most of them are undeveloped even after 10+ games, but none decidedly fit into the archetypes you see in other series.

...

Am I the only one who thinks Kasen is a shit character?

>Believing a wiki
This is just pathetic. What could she possibly be, a tengu? You don't see any wings or a tail on her, do you? She's clearly a hermit and not an oni.

No, she's my second least favorite 2hu. I don't like her as a character at all.

What don't you like about her?

she literally is a hermit though, why else would Komachi be visiting her in WaHH.

Sanae is strong and can slap the shit of any youkai that would want to eat her
The average human can at most throw rocks and run away. This attitude taken after learning about spellcard rules mind you. Others will simply try to physically overpower the little girl attacking them, which will most likely result in death since most Youkai are far stronger than humans

Clearly incorrect. where is your proofs?

>inb4 'Mary-sue'

What factions in Gensokyo are most likely to accept a human from the outside world?

She's really unintersting. Not even the sage reveal could save her.

Don't kid yourself. Sanae is a slut, through and through.

Human village, enjoy doing menial labor for the rest of your life with no modern conveniences.

Miko might if you suck her dick

Myouren

This desu

Being strong isn't exclusive of her being a slut though

I might as well try my luck at the SDM then. Apparently they're always hiring and the standards are pretty low since the fairy maids are stated to be almost useless in the print works. At least I will get eaten by cute lolis if they refuse and kill me.

Of course it is. But without the strong part.

Least likely at the SDM, Meiling won't let you through, Sakuya's gonna give you the cold shoulder and Remi just might give you the succ. Literally just go back to the outside world.

>Remi just might give you the succ

Literally what I want.

Yeah but not the good way, you become a blood bag and then turned into pastries.

What if I become strong enough to defeat Meiling?

At that point you'd have nothing to worry about youkai, since Meiling is supposed to be pretty middling, you'd be reaching the levels of the bigger youkai around.

I'm not sure. It probably heavily depends on Remi's whims. She gave the hobgoblins a home and work at the mansion and the fairies can continue to work for her and live at the mansion even though they're not really helping. If Remilia is in a good mood and finds the human interesting enough she might give him a chance.

I think the palace of earth spirits would be less likely than the SDM.

>escaped rabbit-slave from the moon
>now an errand runner and test subject for Eirin
>wears a school uniform
What's the reason for this? Not that I dislike her design, but why? Where did she get those clothes?

Moon rabbit uniform, all the other moon rabbits wear something similar.

Military surplus

Well yeah, but I want to stay and work for the SDM. Will they let me if I prove I'm worthy?

This is the other Reisen. It's literally just milsurp like the other user said.

Honestly? Probably yes, because like I said, you're approaching playable protagonist levels of good.

>I think the palace of earth spirits would be less likely than the SDM.
Well yeah because is deep underground where all kinds of weirdos live in (and Yuugi)

If you want to work at the SDM your best bet would be to wait for a party there. They seem to happen quite often and I think even humans from the village are welcome to attend. Then you'd have to speak to Remi and somehow make yourself seem interesting to her. Getting a job at the SDM would be easy if Remi wants to have you around.

>Nobody mentioning Myouren

That's because he's dead lol

Hey my plan is to work and live at the SDM if I ever go to Gensokyo too, I've had fantasies about it before, as long as my room has a desk and a bed I'm good to go.

I'd probably just do manual physical work like moving boxes and stuff, because I'm no good at cleaning and I certainly can't make tea as good as Sakuya.

>Tfw when I finally accomplish lucid dreaming I end it at my room in the SDM, and when I go back to it, it begins with me waking up from my room

The fucking best.

Well her titty monster sister built a temple in his name.

Why are Tengu, traditionally portrayed as ugly dudes with huge long noses, all cute girls? Because that's the good shit, that's why.

>Fine with just moving boxes
nah screw that, Gensokyo sucks if you can't be a cool person getting involved in incidents and shit. Makes the times with you're waifu much better during the lulls in the action.

Long nosed Tengu are a different kind and don't usually go outside.

She dresses more like a secretary or an office lady in my opinion. I've never seen school students use shirt, tie, miniskirt and suit

It's not impossible.
In the IN scarlet team ending Sakuya says that whoever succeeds her as the head servant of the mansion would have to be another human. That means Remilia is not opposed to employing other humans besides Sakuya.

Of course at that point you are literally competing with Sakuya in terms of competency. Either that or she's long, long gone.

I think Sakuya literally talks about training a successor in that ending, so you'd be learning from her.

Oh hell yeah man, I was just talking about what kind of work I'd do at the SDM.

I'd delve into what I really want out of my dreams but then I feel we'd be getting into fanfic tier autismo levels.

Remilia is such a nice person for giving hospilatily to the hundreds (maybe thousands) of people working at her mansion.

I wish I could've beaten IN with Sakuya but I had to do i with Raymoo since Remi controls like ass.

Yeah, no one can top her, but you can always learn from the master.

Well even when you're trained by her, unless her ability is learned, you'd have a difficult time keeping up with her crazy good house keeping skills. Of course if Remi's comment on her "being in the mansion so long I hardly consider her human."

Well yeah, we're all autists her user.

fuck, forgot to finish my first thought, If Remi's comment is actually truth and she does age slower, if at all, it might be quite some time spent training someone, if there's even a need for it.

>Unless her ability is learned

I like to think that her ability can be learned but it's so fucking complicated that you'd have to be one of the mentally strongest people to use it, let alone master it.

Kasen did nothing wrong.

Mamizou did nothing wrong.

That's something we sure as fuck won't know, her ability has morphed around so many times and took a straight heel turn in FS.

To me she will always have manipulation of time and space as her powers, always.

Aya did everything wrong

That's fanon now baby. Just kidding,
I'm in the same boat as you.

...

Mugi is my 2hu.

Momiji with or without animal features?

>with no ass

>with no ass

Momiji sucks dude, like literally worse than Marisa

Ayaya?

I just wanted to know what people thought
