Previous thread: >>17460914
This thread is for the discussion and learning of Japanese with raw VNs, LNs, Jdrama, anime and manga.
If you have no interest in otaku media or want to request a translation, this is not the thread for you.
Remember to sage!
I finished Tae Kim and have done around 500 Kanji at this point but still can't get past the first page of the Yotsuba manga from the guide. I still can't put everything together to read it. Anyone else have this issue this early on?
I don't want to learn Japanese?!
>>17482333
You do. You just don't know it yet.
Alright guys, do you see those cute dancers? Nothing strange about them, right? They have fucking boots as hats, but it's Touhou we're talking about here. So, if you paid attention, you'll notice that the green one, Mai, have the ability to draw out people's vitality, and, in-game, drops a bomb, when defeated. Satono, the pink one, can draw out people's mental energy. You can also make the connection between lives in game = mental energy in GFW, where Cirno's lives are basically her motivation. When she runs out of motivation, she loses. But let's get back on track.
Those two dancers are the "hands", or servants of Okina. Okina is the Ultimate, Absolute Secret God and one of the Sages that build Gensokyo. She also maintained Gensokyo's balance and protected it from threats. Since she's a hidden god, she uses her servants to do her job. But what those dancers can do except dance behind them? Now's the interesting part.
Whenever Okina detects that a incident is happening, she sends her dancers to help whoever is going out to solve the incident. The dancers doesn't show up, they're dancing behind the protagonist. In gameplay mechanics, that's when you drop a bomb or a life. That's what Okina is doing to keep Gensokyo in balance: She helps, but she's hidden. She's the Ultimate, Absolute Secret God.
"But what about games where you don't need 'life pieces', but score to get more lives, like MoF or EoSD?" The answer is simple. It's a gameplay mechanic, you asshat.
>>17480388
This is a stupid theory, and would be a bigger asspull than when ZUN retroactively shoved Aya into EoSD, PCB, and IN's plots by having her investigate them.
Not to mention it would be an ultimately unsatisfying reveal, as it basically means that none of your accomplishments were your doing, but rather the mercy granted to you by Okina.
>>17480499
Going by the motivation/mind power = lives thing, it starts to make sense. Why Youmu, Reisen or Sanae, which are playable characters and solved incidents, lost their fights in PCB, IN and MoF, respectively? They were fighting the already tired protagonist, that had to fight at least four bosses and go through four stages. It's as if they became much more powerful just for being promoted to "playable status". If you take into account that the protagonists were receiving a little help from the dancers, it's more conceivable than just "Reimu flew away from reality and won" or some other protagonist bullshit. In danmaku, everyone has roughly the same power, that's why you see everyone losing and winning in the fighting games and PoFV, where you can have tons of playable characters. The protagonists solve the incidents because someone needs to solve it, so the hands of Okina gives them a little help to ensue that they'll succeed.
Also, it isn't an asspull, the protagonists still solved the incidents. They only had a boost in their motivation and vitality.

There better be a good fucking reason for this.
Who the HELL are you quoting?
Whomever it is you are quoting sure has a strange way of talking.
>>17475764
I played the Yuuka patch for UFO to console myself.
Why are the boats such sluts? Doesn't Shimakaze have any shame dressing like that?

>>17475649
the tea lady as she's going to clean up on the participant's money tips afterwards!
How would you rank the mainline Touhou games from best to worst so far?
>>17473251
Worst:
H*dd*n St*r *n F**r S**s*ns
(The demo was better than the full release.)
Ten Desires
(only thing good about this is the cast.)
Best:
Imperishable Night
PoFV (character-wise, so many non-playables got playable in this one.)
-IN
-UFO
-SA
-HSiFS
-DDC
-PCB
-LoLK
-PoFV
-EoSD
-TD
I don't really understand the hate for HSiFS, i really liked most of the soundtrack and specially liked the 6th and extra stage.
And Matara does NOT like like Junko.
Time to worship
>>17472066
She talks big as a god. Promising both wealth to the poor, and to rejuvenate the elderly back to their youths. Together she basically covers the majority of what normal people needed.
>>17472066
Ugly. I only worship cute gods.
>>17472066
SO that's why her theme is so powerful, damn ZUN
From Narumi's profile.
>She's also the one who, after hearing about Okina from Marisa, came up with a secret counter-strategy to entrust Marisa with.
Does this make Marisa's route the canon route? This would mark the first time that's happened since UFO, wouldn't it?
>>17461487
Komano's profile says Reimu is the one who fought her.
Usually all heroines learn about the final boss regardless of who has the canon route in the extra stage backstory, much like in IN.
>>17461897
Ah, well I can still hope.
Regardless, it's rather peculiar that Narumi's profile mentions Marisa directly for such an important event, while Reimu is just referenced off hand.
I hope ZUN ends up confirming Marisa as canon, and maybe gives Okina a roll for guiding Marisa like Yukari has with Reimu. I can't help but notice a few similarities in personality between Okina and Marisa, with how flashy and straight forward the two of them are.
>>17465425
This is a silly idea, but I'm down for it.
It's kind of funny how now we suddenly have a new potential partner for Marisa for future games, when the only character who kind of fits the bill in the last 5 games was Sagume if you assume that she took Yukari's advice seriously.
It's the finale!
