THEY GOT ZUN TO DESIGN A NEW TOHOU

THIS IS WHAT IS RELEASED INSTEAD OF A NEW TOUHOU GAME

This explains everything. Stealing their stuff to mastubate to it. Whats better than stealing some panties? Stealing a donation box!

>>1842257
in return, ZUN vowed secrecy and publicly denounced the animu, RITE

Sanae is the criminal!

>>1842262
Bull, Sanae is a good girl.

>>1842261
hey, i'm just theorizing wildly ok

looks like a bear

What's more important than who stole the donation box is why did they steal it.
I mean, fuck. That box is one of the most worthless things in Gensokyo.

>>1842276
As well as tea and food, and a few books.

>>1842276
One of the three mischievous fairies would do that regardless to piss Reimu off.

>>1842276
Jimbo Wales.

>>1842276
I think Reimu said that the box have some kind of sentimental meaning.

Tewi.

>>1842305

alright, I lol'd

She lost her virginity in it.

Make it happen

Cirno stole the precious things

The Touhou anime was a masterpiece.

Right off the bat, it captivates you with a view of the Hakurei shrine being engulfed in moonlight. Of course, what is this suggesting? In many traditions, the moon is a symbol of femininity and intuition. Very fitting for the Hakurei Shrine, wouldn't you say? But in addition to that, the moon is often associated with "the mother". Obviously, this is referencing the idea that Reimu is "the mother" of Gensokyo, especially to its human residents. Very poetic. The anime is much deeper than it would initially lead one to believe.

>>1842332
Shortly after, we're taken to a scene with Suika sifting through the Hakurei storehouse. It should be noted that there's a large red box covered in charms, contrasting against the rest of the items in the storehouse. Obviously, this was intentional to bring the viewer's attention to said box. Of course, there's Reimu, the red-white which deals with charms, but there's also one significant other person that deals with them as well... Anyways, Suika finds a wind chime. Now, traditionally, they're used as a symbol for the coming summer. When I think of summer, I think of heat. And who else in Gensokyo extensively deals with heat? Hmmm...

>>1842335
Later, Suika is holding the basket with a multitude of various items in it, and Reimu reclaims the items after closing down. Isn't it interesting how the pyramid that Suika usually has is a symbol for collection? However, is it not even MORE interesting how she no longer has those accessories? Much like how she gave the basket to Reimu, Reimu somehow locked away Suika's ability to "collect" through density manipulation! She likely will play a greater role later in the series. Fantastic symbolism on their part. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

well whoever stole the box walked, so that can narrow it down a bit.

>>1842335
>>1842338
Wat

Either Rinnosuke, Alice, or Kaguya.

>>1842339
Well even Aya was walking at some point (how can she walk with those shoes?), so it doesn't matter at all.

>>1842338
Not that guy posting weird stuff.
Actually that sound interesting... they could actually find their items thanks to Suika ability, she is known because of collecting stuff that it's missing. I just think they eliminated this ability from Suika arsenal so it doesn't affect plot.

Mokou

>>1842362

Wouldnt her ability just attract EVERYTHING though?

That wouldnt be very productive ot have an entire forest and town sticking to suika.

Arisu's new superdoll, Marisa Mk.II, with Enhanced Stealing Technology.

>>1842375
Well, she was able to gather just people in IaMP, I don't see why she could just limit the gathering ability to donation boxes.

>>1842338
>Reimu somehow locked away Suika's ability to "collect" through density manipulation!
If this follows canon from the games until Mountain of Faith (since Aya is there) there is no way Reimu could do that to Suika. Suika beat Reimu in IaMP.

>>1842390
Look at >>1841971.

Unless Suika did it willingly.

But that's terrible and we shouldn't think of such terrible ideas.

Suika can...

* Turn into mist (materialize whenever she wants).
* Make mini-copies of herself.
* Density manipulation (this is the ability that affect people emotions so they can gather to party).
* Collect stuff by just thinking of it.

Maybe we should just accept it was a small plot hole that would of totally killed the entire point of the plot?

If it was that easy, then the rest of the anime would just be spent drinking sake and tea....

Actually that doesnt sound so bad.

>>1842402
What the...? Why?

Didn't find any flaw on this until now... if that post is true... I'll get mad unconsciously, can't help it.

>>1842379
Now now
I'm sure Patchy has plenty of uses for a book that spastically has "FAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOT
FAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOT
FAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOT
FAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOT"
written on it every 5 to 10 pages.

FAGGOTFAGGOT

In all seriousness, my guess is it's either the Yakumos (being in several places at relatively the same time would be easy for them thanks to Yukari's gappage), or the Moriya Shrine folks (three of them, three different crimes, etc).

Except the only thing is that only Kanako and friends have a motive. Basically, they can potentially eliminate Reimu's ability to have her popular summer festival and throw one of their own to collect faith.
Yukari of course could just be doing it for shits and giggles.

>>1842459
It's Mima, to reincarnate she needs something that belongs to the Hakurei Shrine, an ancient spell written in those books she stole, and food to gain nutrients for her new body

>>1842402
You may as well ask, why didn't Suika expand herself slighly so she could be tall enough to take the tub off the shelf? Why didn't she shrink herself so that her horns could fit through the door?

Not using her gathering ability to find the stolen items isn't that big of a deal, because if someone really powerful stole them, they might have ways of blocking Suika's gathering powers. If it was Yukari, she could store them in gapspace; if it was Sanae, she could put wards around them; if it was Komachi, she could make them infinitely far away; if it was Kaguya, she could put them into stasis, and so on.

If you want to reach something that is sighly far away from your seat don't you try to reach it without leaving your seat?

See, now this is getting into personal ideas about what an ability can do.
