After actually finishing the chapter though I really get the sense that Hecatia is actually just feeding Reimu and Marisa a bunch of bullshit, especially after what Clownpiece said.
Either way, the chances the events of both manga are going to be relevant in the new game is looking super likely. Having "Oni Shaped Beast" as part of the title and with the whole thing being about animal spirits I would be surprised if Kasen is somehow not involved. Additionally from VFiS we can at least assume the reason we'll be fighting fairies in Hell in the game is because of the events here. Also looks like Okina is finally about to be relevant outside of HSiFS, so itll be interesting to see what she does. I think it safe to say that the main culprit behind this wont be revealed until the game comes out and that all of the different point of the Hell subplot will converge there.

This is all very exciting and everything, but it feels bittersweet. It seems like VFiS is going to end as well, which means there won't be an ongoing Touhou manga anymore. I imagine ZUN will make another, as he seems to enjoy it, but I really wonder when and what sort it would be.

Since they're playing quite a role in WaHH, maybe focus on Komachi or Tenshi?

I could see Tenshi but not Komachi. More likely, though, is that it will be an original character. Every manga so far has introduced new characters as major or main characters. SSiB had the sisters, Fairies had... (of course) the fairies, WaHH is about Kasen, FS is about Kosuzu.

I think chances are that if it does end then itll resume at some point like it has in the past. I think the main reason for this is that ZUN just wants to slow down and focus more on his family.

This is false and spread by idiots, no offense. Junko's power doesn't change strength. She refined Clownpiece and the other fairies into beings of pure lifeforce. This made her and the other fairies like fucking poison to LUNARIANS, who freak out at impurity (life, usually, as impurity makes them entirely mortal and makes them die). The reason Clownpiece says nobody should've been able to beat her was that that's what she was told, and it was true assuming her opponents were Lunarians. However, her opponents weren't, and they still admitted she was a strong fairy, it was just that her lifeforce had no affect on them. This is also why Sagume recruited the heroines.

Clownpiece is an entirely different level from Cirno. She's a hell fairy, and any hell beings are powerful (confirmed by Hecatia). Cirno is so weak she can't even beat a flashlight-wielding Marisa.

No moron, Cirno is notably strong but "for a fairy from Gensokyo". Eiki warns her because in her position, basically, even becoming "kind of vaguely threatening" means she isn't really a fairy anymore.

Talk about understating Cirno's strength and misrepresenting Eiki's words.

Because her power was refined by Junko's, which Clownpiece herself admits DID increase her power to that which exceeds a kishin. And the only one that notes anything about Clownpiece's power is Reisen, Marisa doesn't even say a thing about her power and she's the one person that would note any absurd difference in the earth fairies and Piece.

But I heard that as long as we fairies,
symbols of life, controlled this place,

the people of the moon wouldn't
be able to do a thing.

The closest you have is this
===
They say that a refined fairy's energy
exceeds even that of a kishin.

Taste the impurity of life and death
that the moon's people hate so much,
===
But as you can see this refers to impurity, which Lunarians can't stand.

>Are hell dwellers strong on average compared to surface dwellers?
/If you aren't aware of the information we know, you really don't have any right to argue anything. This is, again, something Hecatia, the STRONGEST KNOWN CHARACTER has stated.

Finally
>Talk about understating Cirno's strength and misrepresenting Eiki's words.
Uh, how? Your screencap is just a longer version of my summation of her judgement. You need to keep in mind that "great power" for a fairy means nothing, and the concern Eiki had was that she was going to lose the natural ties she had and thus possibly die. If you want ANOTHER source saying Cirno is strong "for a fairy", there's Akyuu and Marisa, but demonstrably of course she's always been weak.

And Marisa being lax even against tough opponents is a huge aspect of her character.

It'd be cute to have a game where you control a group of fairies instead of a single character and your lives instead of being represented like usual are represented by how many fairies you have in your group, which make your hitbox bigger though.

ZUN doesnt want there to be one specific way a character is to be viewed. Why do you think he has chosen so many different artists with greatly different styles for the printworks over the years. The claim that he cares mores about WaHH is pretty baseless and only based on Azuma Aya saying "ZUN made me do this" on twitter that one time. Keep in mind Hirasaka has also tweeted about how he meets with ZUN to discuss how the next chapters are to be handled. He told Azuma Aya to make Okina look more mature in WaHH because thats what he wanted for that specific manga interpretation. Keep in mind that he himself drew Okina flat in her game portraits, while in the same game giving Nemuno some clearly sizeable tits.

If, for example, Aya wasnt supposed to ever have wings you would think that he would have put a stop to it over a decade ago, especially if he's that demanding (which seems to be a bit exaggerated). Also it would makes sense that a Tengu, who can shapeshift, could change between having and not having wings.

>>21242495
Its like I said before, ZUN simply doesnt want there to be one specific way too see a character. He made Azuma Aya redraw Okina because he wanted her to look more womanly in WaHH. Meanwhile, for example, everything in VFiS is geared twords a more cutesey/loli look. The idea that he is ONLY strict with Aya is baseless, especially since we know he meets with his other artists to discuss things the same exact way. There is a reason he works with so many different artists with very differing styles. He has different visions and ideas for his different works and the artists reflect that (such as Hirasaka's style fitting the more playful tone of the fairies manga and Moe's style fitting the serious tone of FS). Its not supposed to be consistent. ZUN himself didnt make an effort to draw Okina with breasts despite being perfectly capable, which gives reason to believe that he wanted her to in such a way specifically in WaHH. ZUN is the king of inconsistency.

Implying ZUN can't simply go "eh that's good enough", especially with artists with stricter deadlines like Harukawa who had to pump out a chapter monthly. Just because ZUN can be strict doesn't mean he necesarily is with literally everything, nor that he won't impose different standards of strictness on different artists. Like anon said, look at Hirasaka. Or like you yourself said two sentences afterwards, ZUN may not be as stringent as you're trying to claim and thinks it's, again, good enough. Which doesn't make it any more canon than alphes' HM art for Futo.
>Tengu, who can shapeshift
Nice headcanon. Remember the part of the Kojiki where kappa are described as being cute pre-teen girls who shoot lasers? You can't assume the Touhou equivalent of any particular species has a particular trait associated with that species just because they're the Touhou equivalent of said species. Not when it's NEVER mentioned within the series, not when the majority of official artists (which includes ZUN, by the way) have NEVER portrayed tengu with wings, not when ZUN has shown to be capable of drawing wings but has NEVER drawn any for any of his tengu characters.
>ZUN simply doesnt want there to be one specific way too see a character
That's about character personalities, not the character designs, autismo. The differences you mention are either artist-caused or super minor, and neither is indicative that ZUN has the attitude you mention. And if he does, then he's still to explain Futo in HM, which according to your shit logic, is a totally canon representation of her character and canonizes her ability to change hair colors like she's a fucking chameleon.

The problem here is that its still baseless to say who he is or isnt presumably more strict with. Realistically he probably has the same standard for every one of his artists. Also keep in mind he considered Moe to be "professional" in her work, unlike Aya or Hirasaka who are merely fans given a big opportunity and aren't quite on the same level so there is no reason to assume her tigher deadline effected how strict he was. Using a single tweet by Aya saying "ZUN made me do this" as your whole argument of her art being more "canon" is retarded. There is literally no other evidence of it being true. If wings weren't supposed to ever exist ZUN would have put a stop to it when Genji Asai first did it over a decade ago. He has never corrected it and so we have no reason to believe it a wrong interpretation.
>Nice headcanon.
I dont think there is any reason to assume that they cant. The Tengu of lore are capable of it, and so its reasonable to believe that Touhou Tengu can as well given that ZUN has never stricken abilities from youkai. But sure, I wont assume if it makes you happy.
>Not when it's NEVER mentioned within the series, not when the majority of official artists (which includes ZUN, by the way) have NEVER portrayed tengu with wings, not when ZUN has shown to be capable of drawing wings but has NEVER drawn any for any of his tengu characters.
Again, it seems to be a case of either way being fine. If it was actually wrong of her to have wings, ZUN would put a stop to it. Its been like 15 years and he hasn't, so he seems cool with it. He's approved it multiple times.
>That's about character personalities, not the character designs, autismo.
He wouldn't work with so many different artists that all do things differently if that wasn't the case, also personalities really dont change aside from Reimu. He doesn't even keep his own designs consistent.
>The differences you mention are either artist-caused or super minor, and neither is indicative that ZUN has the attitude you mention.
Even if thats the case, you have no evidence to the contrary.
>then he's still to explain Futo in HM
Thats also the most egregious example, and you can go against my claim all you want but it doesnt change the fact neither of us actually have evidence of what ZUN thinks or if he said it was okay. I assume he did because in general we know he took a more controlled approach with other artists after SSiB because so much stuff was fucked up. SSiB is the only case where we know things aren't right because he not only mentioned it but went into detail about it in Strange Creators.

Also again please explain Okina. You say Aya should never have wings because ZUN never drew her with them yet ZUN also never drew Okina with a chest. If it was actually so important than he would have drew her with some tits because we know for a fact he is capable, just like he's capable of drawing wings. We only know ZUN wanted Azuma Aya to mature her up for WaHH, and as much as you hate "headcannon", you are basically creating your own headcannon about how ZUN handles things with his artists. Fact of the matter is that we simply don't have a clear idea so this argument is a farce.

Okay. If all the other artists are in the same tier to you then let's just look at what ZUN is doing. Oh look no wings.

The thing with using the argument of "ZUN never stopped it so he doesn't mind" is that it doesn't automatically equate to "ZUN never stopped it SO IT MUST BE CANON AAAABSOCKIRFRER". He didn't stop Futo's brown hair. The reason is irrelevant, it happened and it happened under his watch. Are you going to start spamming that Futo has chameleon abilities which are CANON? With your logic, you could - it doesn't matter that nothing supports such a thing except an erroneous detail which is only consistent with itself. But no one else would, because it'd be fucking retarded. Now we have shit-wing Aya. Nothing supports such a thing except obviously-erroneous details that are only consistent with a couple of artists, none of which are ZUN. But since, as established earlier, you ARE a retard, you're here spamming that it's somehow the truth.

Kappa are turtle monsters with a beak and a shell. Nitori has no such beak or such shell. Again, only a total secondary would equate the IRL youkai with the Touhou interpretation of those youkai. Just the mere fact that their looks don't match the original depictions a good 95% of the time should tell you that they're not the fucking same. Hell, if Aya is supposed to be as 1:1 with the IRL version of tengu as you claim then would you please tell me where her extra large nose is? Because I don't see it. Oh it isn't there? No it's not, is it. It almost makes you think they're not meant to be exact copies, that ZUN takes creative liberties with his interpretation of youkai because Touhou Project is not meant to be a fucking documentary. But no, only someone with three-digit IQ would think that, right?

He works with different artists on different manga because different manga have different tone and the different art is suited to that different tone. YOU FUCKING SAID THIS YOURSELF. It has fuck-all to do with character designs, which are consistent between all three manga barring, again, minor details and Moe trying to feel like a special snowflake by altering ZUN's Aya design. And do you want to know what's even better? VFiS and WaHH's take on Aya is actually consistent with ZUN's. You know, the guy that actually designed all of these characters. ZUN has never drawn Aya with wings (there's some consistency for you), Hirasaka has never drawn Aya with wings, Aya has never drawn Aya with wings.
>you have no evidence to the contrary
You're making the claim, you prove your claim has any substance you son of a bitch.

>neither of us actually have evidence of what ZUN thinks

>Also again please explain Okina

It literally does. If its in a canon work then yes ill take it as canon unless ZUN himself says otherwise. Touhou has plenty of inconsistency and i just kinda deal with it instead of getting mad.
>Again, only a total secondary would equate the IRL youkai with the Touhou interpretation of those youkai.

I do equate them because its what they're specifically based on. Of course they dont look alike but ZUN has never made their abilities different (which was my point). Also of course Aya wouldn't have a long nose because she's a Crow Tengu, not a Long Nose Tengu. The distinction is made in SoPM.

Yes you can. Wings are large, obvious and they even modify a character's silhouette significantly. Especially the way Harukawa draws these hypothetical, non-canon wings. A slightly inconsistent breast size just doesn't match. Hell, I have good reason to believe nobody would have noticed that tiny inconsistency if /jp/ wasn't so horny all the time. Now, if Okina was fluctuating between perflat and "D cups" then you'd have a good point but then that's not what's going on.

Its in the canon works that ZUN approved thus its canon. You are literally sitting here saying that what we are presented with in the canon works arent canon. Genji Asai has also been doing it for like 15 years.
>Futo confirmed for chameleon hair.
Is Hopeless Masquarde canon? Sure is. Yes its a bit egregious of an inconsistency but its in a canon work. Also if you look closely you can still see her normal grey and when you compare to some of the other characters in HM you see that the coloring of the portraits in the game overall are a little weird (perhaps to vibrant?), so its hard to say it flew under ZUN's radar.
>Prove to me with evidence and facts that you can't make Aya look serious without drawing some fanfic wings on her, I fucking dare you.
Alright so this was my bad, I should have said the style in which the characters are drawn. Hirasaka's style fitting the more playful tone of the fairies manga and Moe's style fitting the serious tone of FS for example. Exactly as I said before.
>She's LITERALLY changing shit up for NO reason.

You see, tengu are most commonly associated with crows, so despite Aya's lack of wings, a fact that is apparent in the art, this piece of artwork has some crow feathers to spice it up in a thematically-appropiate way. Please tell me if I'm using words too big for you.

Yeah I'm sure vibrancy can turn plain gray hair into brown with gray and purple highlights. And of course it means Futo is canonically a chameleon too.

Refer back to >>21243811 and >>21244089
if you dont get what im talking about. Alphes did the coloring of the portraits in HM rather weird but since its a commonality with most of the portraits there is no reason to think it ZUN didnt notice.
>You're shitposting or a genuine dumbass.
Notice how nobody else agrees with you. There is literally on reason to be this much of a stickler over something like this. It actively drains the fun out of Touhou to have your kind of attitude.

Makes sense. If what Eternity said is true, then the fairies standing there have enough reserved power to not go into hibernation.

Wouldn't that also mean the SDM no longer has any fairy maids left since they all got turned into crystals? The more I think about it, there should actually be a lot of powerful youkai who would be upset with the idea of Hecatia stealing all of Gensokyo's fairies.

Local nerds argue over whether a tengu (these never, 0.00%, ever, in any legend, look like pretty girls) that looks like a pretty girl has definitive physical features that she can't change

Very cool haha

As far as SDM is concerned, that might just be a minor inconvenience.
>The more I think about it
Well why do you think Heca went to Reimu first? "The shrine maiden allows it" would probably silent a number of them or divert their anger to her.
Know who I want to see though? Yuuka. I can see her getting less than pleased the flower doesn't seem as lively.

You'd have to be dumb to think Clappy wouldn't have Gensokyo's best interests at heart given how much more she loves it than living back in Hell. I'm really excited to know we'll finally see what New Hell looks like and if it's actually one of Hecatia's or not.

It doesn't take too much extra power since the Three Fairies are notoriously weak for named fairies, their status effects and combinations are what make them notable. If Lily wasn't hibernating she'd be a more valuable asset for the upcoming fight.

That reminds me, the sunflower field was brought up a couple of times, and the fairies gathered there too. So where the hell is Yuuka?
