I delete the latter part of the “Where should I start?” because it’s too long. We really need to make a FAQ pastebin to save space.

Mystery may be sublime, but knowing more about a character is good too. I'd say the allure of Sakuya is more that she's a mostly harmless time has stepped kid knife thrower than that she's a mysterious mostly harmless time has stepped kid knife thrower.
Anthony Sanchez
You are aware that she literally chops people up and cooks their flesh and blood into cakes and shit for Flandre to eat, right?
Mason Collins
uh, wrong picture.
Liam Thomas
The books also say that nobody knows where the meals Flandre eats comes from and that Sakuya doesn't explicitly cook those meals.
I might as well repost this.
I mean, mystery is fine when she's a relevant character that appears often and actually has something enigmatic going for her. You can say all that flowery bullshit, but ZUN didn't put that much thought into her and it shows, she also doesn't show up nearly enough in any major role these days for it to really matter. Her mystery and enigmatic character aren't alluded to these days. She's just the maid at the SDM and she does maid stuff. Touhou in general suffers from a lack of understanding of characters because ZUN sets up a frame work and then some interesting character traits and then dumps them in the pile of irrelevant characters by the time the next game rolls around.

How is Toyohime a shark?
Xavier Walker
I personally think her past would be better explained because there's no mystery at all if you throw out one almost entirely random "maybe" possibility of Eirin recognizing her name which falls apart because Remilia gave her the name. Which means ZUN fucked up on his end, or it means literally nothing and adds nothing to her "mystery". Sakuya really has nothing going for her anymore because the mystery that was there over a decade ago has gone stale and cold. An interesting mystery is going to have more than one tiny thread like she does, but ZUN never supported it past SSiB, which was 11 years ago.
David Thompson
Translation when
Nathaniel Hill
>Eirin recognizing her name which falls apart because Remilia gave her the name
It doesn't necessarily have to do with sakuya's name. Thats just the most educated guess people have. The actual reason for eirins surprise is known to her alone, so you can't discount it out of hand in the hopes of proving your point.
Adrian Smith
the greatest tragedy of our times is that japs speak jap.
Caleb Walker
The whole Sakuya backstory mystery is probably the single dullest thing in 2hu. It's the Windows version of Mima's return.
Carson Howard
The thing is that its running on the same shit as the half-life 3 meme.
No matter what is done, whats told, or how its handled, it will flop, just due to the sheer amount of theorizing surrounding it. No matter what, near to everyone will be disappointed. Even if there was a time zun considered bringing it up, thats too far gone now. Revealing it would only make the problem worse, and i don't think the people clamoring for her backstory actually realize that.
Joshua Ortiz
Daily reminder that they are doing it for free.
Ryan Peterson
Basically her past should just be pushed under the rug and become essentially meaningless. Because trying to make it a mystery has long become overdue and trying to explain it is also long overdue.
Robert Adams
>Tfw i started a meme with an offhand comment
Liam Morgan
I sure hope it doesn't take off and become a meme.
Sebastian Richardson
I think everyone except you would be content with whatever backstoryu zun came up with. Not that he'd come up with one because he barely even remembers that Sakuya exists.
Luke Brooks
So you say, but tenshi of all people came back in the recent fighting game.
As far as i'm concerned, anything goes at this point.
Austin Watson
As much as a meme as it is, I kinda hope ZUN makes some decision on Mima and other PC-98 characters besides his wishy washy "they are canon but also not" like they currently are, just because I'd like some more continuity in the series.
Doremy, Yukari and Tenshi being the new characters was fucking wacky and kind of objectively terrible choices.
Jonathan Reyes
ZUN gives wishy washy answers because it beats saying "I'm better at character creation than you are and I'll do what I want when I want and I can't predict what that is so stuff it." He's too nice and japanese to say that.
Aiden Reyes
>Doremy, Yukari and Tenshi being the new characters was fucking wacky and kind of objectively terrible choices.
I beg to differ on doremy. She's an aspect of the series with nearly limitless potential, and exploring that is worth the time.
As for the rest of that, i just meant that them being here at all is a strong case for "No one fucking knows whats gonna happen next".
Hunter Bailey
But it was me.
Jackson Evans
He can be as good at character design as he ism but it doesn't matter if he never ends up using them or even making references or making any form of the vaguest confirmation besides "I might" after like what, 15 years of the question being asked?
Well Doremy was fine, but a bit weird. Tenshi and Yukari were terrible choices though.
Michael Cruz
Your mom made an objectively terrible choice.
Alexander Rivera
Yes, we wouldn't want our general to become any less dead, or anything.
Jordan Torres
Doremy was a good choice in the aspect of lore, but also building her character. Tenshi is a big question mark, alongside yukari. There could be better ones put in, but we get two SWR rehashes. At least it wasn’t another EoSD character
Gavin Richardson
Even if the general had issues with being on life support, which it doesn't, filling it with dumb memes certainly isn't going to boost it's popularity and bring it back to life.
Gabriel Reed
>forcing unfunny memes is ok if it means we're .001% faster
Jaxon Smith
you keep thinking that.
Noah Nelson
> filling it with dumb memes certainly isn't going to boost it's popularity and bring it back to life But that's exactly how Touhou became popular in the first place.
Isaac Butler
and now it's like 10 years after that fact and it's fanbase is sick of unfunny memes that have a shelf life of 3 days.
Ryder Roberts
its fanbase is ded
Jackson Myers
We need to shitpost faster!

Isn't touhou consistently top of the charts at Comiket, has it's own convention, and is now showing up at EVO as side event?
Joseph Nelson
Yeah, it’s still dead though according to whiny crybabies.

Some of those positions are definitely filled right now, but if Sakuya ever quits you might as well submit an application.

Death by snu-snu is totally worth it if it's Yuugi. Do it user.

Nah, contrary to popular beliefs, she’s pretty shy on bed. She’s what you called a bottom bitch in the Outside World.

I agree. But at the same time i do kind of wish we would learn a bit more Sakuya. You don't need to reveal her backstory to explain for instance why she's so loyal to Remilia. Or if she actually ages like a normal person.
Christopher Carter
I guarantee ZUN won't touch aging. Anything he said about that was before he realized he was in this for the long haul and he needs his main characters young.

Some of jobs would probably be VERY difficult, if not impossible to get. Like, i could see you getting a job at Remilia if she likes you. But, for instance, even reaching the Palace of Earth Spirits without somebody like Reimu escoring you is probably imposible.
Evan Hernandez
HM Satori > SA Satori
Angel Roberts
That's the exact same Satori though.
Logan Rogers
No, she got a cuter hairstyle in HM
Josiah Jenkins
Considering how Remilia's hiring policy is pretty much quantity over quality. I don't think it would be that hard to get a job at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Just don't expect good pay.
You do realize Sakuya would be your superior, right? And probably a pretty harsh one as well.
John Peterson
I doubt she'd be that strict, considering she puts up with Fairies all day, and they're content enough to stick around.
Elijah Foster
>tfw been playing too much MHW to play or talk about 2hu how are you doing, /2hug/?
William Gray
I said harsh. Not strict. Assuming that she treats you the same as the fairy maids, she probably has a pretty big margin of error. But if you do seriously fuck up, she's going to let you know it.
Carter Sullivan

That's really good. It's a shame i can't draw, otherwise i totally would.
