Alright, this has been bugging the crap out of me for a while.
We all know that Junko is crazy and wants to settle a score with a certain immortal individual imprisoned on the moon. The problem is this person's name, 「嫦娥」.
What is the canon way of reading 「嫦娥」? Is it "Chang'e" (Chinese reading), or "Jouga" (Japanese reading)?
I understand that the English translation uses the Chinese reading "Chang'e" since she was based off of a Chinese legend, but is this really the right way to approach a translation? I looked up 「嫦娥」 on both the Pixiv and Nico Nico encyclopedias, and they both use the Japanese "Jouga" pronounciation. This tells me that most, if not all, Japanese users refer to as 「嫦娥」 "Jouga", not "Chang'e":
http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E5%AB%A6%E5%A8%A5
http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E5%AB%A6%E5%A8%A5
Chinese myth or not, I don't feel comfortable with fan translators taking a Japanese game with a Japanese script like Touhou and changing part of it to implement a Chinese reading unless ZUN meant it to be that way.
Did ZUN intend to make 「嫦娥」 read as "Chang'e", "Jouga", or "China 2.0"?
It's Chang'e
how is Chang'e pronounced in Chinese and does it resemble the Japanese Jouga?
Since Junko isn't called Chun Hu, I'm opting for Jouga.

Not mine. I stole it off shitaraba.
And by the way, it's from an omake variant. Not sure which one though.
What an incredible fight.
Me + 6 pets + 9 undead zombies VS Karavika.
First part was just me and the pets. We managed to bring her below 50% with only 2 casualties (the ranged pets) but that was within my calculation.
Then I started my preparations for the run wildry part.
Left my pets play around with the goose and I started summoning the undeads.
Then soma + undead boost and joined the fight again with my axe.
When she was close to 25% I dropped my girdle (because it block teleport!) and moved away.
Then soma and provoke. As she started rushing towards me I activated undead bombs and she was finally in run wildry status.
Immediately rushed the fucker and gauge released in her face but the bitch was still standing.
Pets and remaining undeads surrounded her with the obvious result of being slaughtered.
Except one.
As I realized that the end was near and unconsciously approached my eternal force gun to unleash its power and at least die a more glorious dead, my vampire girl appeared in front of me.
And just like that she chopped her head.
Half of Ol-dran was on fire and blood was splattered everywhere but I did walk away with my new cool glasses.

Whats a generally good price for deka to go for? Looking to pick one up
>>14627189
Building a Time machine to go back and then buy them when they first released would be cheaper than buying them now.
The Reimues on YAJ are 100k Yen right now. Remi just started at 30k but has 6 days left.
And then there is the shipping, which I don't even know how much it would be. It will be a lot though.
>>14627230
I mean, I buy dollfies a lot so its not like I'm opposed to spending that much (although shipping will be a bitch I bet). I dunno what the normal closing price is, though, so if thats normal I might just jump the gun.
Having said that, I might have to rethink it given how the exchange rate is ass right now
Mokou is the finest warrior. She is of iron will and steely muscle. She has such tactics, strategies, and magic so that no foe can best her in battle.
She is the bulwark against terror. She is the defender of humanity and Mokou knows no fear.
