They were all asking for it.

That's her job

>>476391

please elaborate.

You don't seem to understand. She was always evil. After the first game or so, she got cursed with exposure of the armpits just to show everyone how evil she is, and most of them STILL DON'T GET IT.

Gensokyo is full of suckers.

She does it because she can.

TELL ME REIMU

YOU'VE DESTROYED SO MUCH

BUT WHAT IS IT YOU'VE CREATED?

CAN YOU EVEN NAME ONE THING?

>>476410

The spell card rules

>>476413
Yeah, and Hitler created Nazi Germany.

/godwin

>>476413
Something made to protect Reimu so she can cause more wanton destruction doesn't count.

Why do the elevens love reimu?

>>476438
Because her balls can be disguised as cats, and a cat is always fine too.

>>476438
>elevens
>Reimu
>Eleven Reimus

Reimu just wants to solve things, but she also likes to throw her power around. Most of time, the business really does have a negative effect, so Reimu is actually doing her job without asking questions. The only odd thing is that she isn't really doing much about her faith, just her duty.

She's Order incarnate, and when shit hits the fan it's her responsibility to clean up the mess. Also, she didn't choose to take this responsibility either, so she's understandably pissy about her duty.

>>476471

Eleven Reimus, that's terrible.

>>476482

SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS POWER! WHY DOES SHE NEED TO DO THIS?!

>>476532
Listen, Reimu. This girl, Remilia Scarlet, she probably deserved what happened. But just because you can beat her up doesn't give you the right to. Remember, with great power, comes great responsibility.

>>476558
An, with that, Uncle Ben died.

REIMU LIED

>>476578

;_;

>>476388
she only acts when gensokyo is in danger...and even then she's not really happy about doing so.

>>476659
Not really, no. Reimu only goes out when something inconveniences her. There was no real threat in PoFV or MoF.

>>476788
>There was no real threat in PoFV or MoF.
This is half correct. There was no real threat in PoFV. There was one in MoF. In fact, the threat was the reason Kanako sent Sanae to the Hakurei Shrine to talk Reimu into making Kanako the new patron deity for the shrine.

She didn't know that among the youkai of Gensokyo, there existed a number of powers. Nevertheless, she collected the faith of the mountain youkai, and attained great divine virtue. She did not realize that this meant that the power of the mountain youkai, in other words the tengu and the kappa, were becoming too great.

With that, there was the fear that the power balance of tranquil Gensokyo would collapse.

Kanako thought that to keep Gensokyo's balance, she must now acquire the faith of the youkai and humans beneath the mountain.

To achieve that, she must utilize the Hakurei Shrine else things won't proceed smoothly. Much remained before should would be able to regain the same amount of faith she'd had in the outside world.

>>477322
So basically, Reimu is the cause of the inevitable Pan-Gensokyo War?

>>476388

Are you saying theres something wrong with destroying things?

>>476410
>CAN YOU EVEN NAME ONE THING?

She was the 'creator' of my armpits fetish.

ALL HAIL HAKUREI SHRINE`S POOR MIKO!

Because she's hawt.

>>476482
So, she's like Vhailor with armpits?

>>476388

Remilia was blotting out the sun with her red mist. Crops surely wilted, farms were on the verge of collapse, famine was invetable. Many humans would have perished.

Yuyuko captured spring, leading to a never ending winter. Her selfish desire to break the seal on a single tree would have lead to the deaths of those who rely on the changing seasons. She also had the border between life and death broken; what kind of world would that be were the dead and the living have no separation?

Suika was just making a mess of things.

The Lunarians took the moon away; many residents of Gensokyo rely on the moon for sustenance. The Lunarians are fugitives, criminals; they had no right to do what they did.

Sikieiki started that fight.

Kanako moved in and set up shop without permission; she's the Mexican of Gensokyo, leeching off the blood of the hard working residents who were already established.

Reimu is what holds Gensokyo together. Without her, chaos and madness would ensue. She is a hero, and her efforts make sure the sun rises at least one more day.

In MoF it was finally brought forward that Reimu never worked.

Reimu never collected any faith so no one gained power.
When a third shrine showed up, they should collect faith from the mountains whereas the Hakurei should collect the humans' and other youkai's faith to keep the balance.

I don't see how Reimu solved that problem in the MoF endings. I just see more power for the mountain youkai and a still slacking of Reimu.

OBEY REIMU

>>477412
>When a third shrine showed up,
>third shrine
What's the second shrine? As far as I know, Hakurei Shrine was the only shrine in Gensokyo. Then Kanako moved Moriya Shrine to Youkai Mountain. So now there are two.

Also. I would like to point out that Kanako was being all peaceful and reasonable about wanting to help improve Hakurei Shrine. And Reimu was all like 'FUCK YOU BITCH, I CAN DO IT MYSELF'.

>>477377
>Remilia was blotting out the sun with her red mist. Crops surely wilted, farms were on the verge of collapse, famine was invetable. Many humans would have perished.
You mean the red mist that only lasted a day at the most? I'm pretty sure it takes more than a day for crops to wilt and for farms to be on the verge of collapse.

>The Lunarians took the moon away; many residents of Gensokyo rely on the moon for sustenance.
This is false. The only reason they went out to get the moon back was because the full moon was necessary for the festival on the following night for the youkai. They also didn't know that the Earth and Moon were only going to be sealed temporarily for the duration of the full moon.

>Kanako moved in and set up shop without permission; she's the Mexican of Gensokyo, leeching off the blood of the hard working residents who were already established.
I know you didn't just call Reimu hard-working. Lazy bitch is lazy. Also, the tengu and kappa willing accepted Kanako since they viewed shrines as a place to play considering that was what they were used to at the Hakurei Shrine. But now that they have a shrine much closer to where they live, they didn't have to go down to the Hakurei Shrine anymore. They could just play and worship at Moriya Shrine. Reimu just got jealous that Moriya Shrine was more popular than her place.

SEIG REIMU

SIEG REIMU

What's with all the sacrilege in this thread?

>>477701

NIECH ŻYJE REIMU!

everything i know about reimu was from that emo Tohonifun doujin

she had issues in that one

Touhou 1: Reimu goes on a genocidal rampage.
Touhou 2: Reimu seeks revenge for Mima's revenge for Reimu's previous rampage.
Touhou 3: Reimu interferes with academia and scientific progress.
Touhou 4: Reimu kills a youkai who tried to help her.
Touhou 5: Reimu orphans Alice and destroys an entire world for its creator's belief in free enterprise.
Touhou 6: Reimu places a little girl under house arrest.
Touhou 7: Reimu prevents an innocent girl from being revived.
Touhou 7.5: Reimu breaks up parties.
Touhou 8: Reimu strips away Gensokyo's defenses against a Lunar invasion.
Touhou 9: Reimu attacks people for no good reason.
Touhou 10: Reimu oppresses other religions.

Kanako: Who is it that calls for me? Oh? What's this? It's the shrine maiden from beneath the mountain. What business have you with me?

Reimu: You're a very frank god, aren't you?

Kanako: Lately, it's been easier to win over followers with a friendly face than with an impressive stature.

Reimu: Well, anyway, it'd be bad for me if you tried to
take over our shrine, so could you please stop?

Kanako: I have no such intention. I just wish to help save your shrine. I just want to see more people gather at your shrine. I just want to free it from the clutches of the youkai.

Reimu: Wow, no need to be so kind. But, you know, even if we set you up in our shrine, I don't know if we'll get any more followers.

Kanako: It's not as if your faith can fall below zero. What Gensokyo lacks ...Is belief in god. A shrine maiden like you should understand that, yes?

Reimu adopts biased history books! Admit the massacres, Reimu!

>>477730
"Could [but ...]" would have probably been a better translation for intentions' purposes rather than "can."

>>477730
Hakurei shrine is destroyed this summer, so yeah. Looks like Moriya won without knowing. Autumn again will bring a new shrine in it's place.

>>477611
AFAIK, the huge mansion called Hakugyokurou counts as a shrine even though it's without a god.

>>477743
Hakugyokurou isn't in Gensokyo.

>>477751
The netherworld is in Gensokyo.

No Reimu=No Gensokyo

youkais and humans can live in such a beautiful paradise thanks to her

>>477751
Part of the Netherworld is in Gensokyo now, since PCB when Yukari mucked-up the gaps.

>>477743
that's what happens in SWR right? the shrine gets trashed by an earthquake or something?

that sort of noise could wake someone up

>>477770
Meh, they got their boundary of reality and illusion 500 years ago through Yukari and have since gathered in this paradise.

The Hakurei border is just an insurance by the humans. You can't just let the youkai have the only border. That's against the balance of power.

>>477761
Try to fail less.

>>477772
No. The Netherworld is still the Netherworld and Gensokyo is still Gensokyo. All Yukari did was weaken the borders between the two which makes it a lot easier for travel. Ghosts can re-enter Gensokyo easily and living people can enter the Netherworld easily.

>>477778
>>477743
Right, it's not been the first time the Hakurei Shrine has physically been in ruins (lol retcon).

>>477789
Uh. The Hakurei Border was set up by humans and reinforced by youkai. So in reality, it was humans that sealed Gensokyo away from the rest of the world. Stop spouting misinformation.

>>477796
only the super miko squad can save gensokyo now

>>477812
The best part is how flat Suika's kimono is.

>>477827
>>The attire of a miko (traditionally and still worn today) consists of hakama, a kimono shirt, and tabi

welp

>>477799
There's a difference between the sealing off of Gensokyo and the creation of the Great Hakurei Border. Yukari did the former. It was her proposal, she took care of the details, and she carried it out. Yukari created Gensokyo as it is today, but any youkai or human with even slightly significant power could come and go at any time. To fix this, the Hakurei maiden at the time (most likely the 12th) created the Great Hakurei Border. Youkai on the inside still have the ability to leave, but getting IN became much more difficult.

>>477830

>>477830
>Originally the word "kimono" referred to all types of clothing, but it has come to denote a particular type of traditional full-length garment.
Hmm...

>>477830

Reimu's getup is far from traditional. Increase your power level.

>>477830
Can you still call it a "kimono shirt" after Reimu distorted the traditional dress so much?

tl;dr

Reimu is an undead zombie bitch.

>>477794
Stop spouting misinformation about me failing. That's as true as Alice's poop leakage.

>>477833
>There's a difference between the sealing off of Gensokyo and the creation of the Great Hakurei Border.
No there isn't. The purpose of the Hakurei Border is to seal off Gensokyo from the outer world.

>>477833
We know Yukari proposed (and placed) the first boundary around Gensokyo many hundreds of years ago. Since then, other boundaries have also been placed around Gensokyo, with the Great Border being the most recent and touted as the best example.

The Great Hakurei Border was established in 1884. That is an absolute date on the roughly-hewn Gensokyo time line.

>>477848
You C&P the title Aya gave her article on Hakugyokurou as evidence that it is in Gensokyo. When it is not. It is located in the Netherworld. Which is a separate location from Gensokyo.

If you actually read the article Aya even writes that Hakugyokurou is in the Netherworld.
>Recently, we have many chances to hear about a place for sightseeing. It's the Netherworld. The border of the Netherworld became somehow thinner, so it's easy to enter there even if you're alive; originally, it's the place after death.


As I said. Fail less.

>>477833
Gensokyo was originally a desolate, haunted region of Japan ages ago. The youkai that lived there began to terrorize the surrounding lands, and thus powerful, heroic humans were sent to exorcise and exterminate them. The off and on battle between humans and youkai continued on until 1884 A.D., when Gensokyo was sealed off from this increasingly scientific and skeptical world with the creation of the Hakurei Border. There has been little contact between our societies ever since. Today, the only known gateway between Gensokyo and this world is the Hakurei Shrine, which stands in isolation along the border on distant mountains of the far east.

>>477852
For more than 500 years, you can't see Gensokyo from the outside. You see an illusion. You should still have been able to pass through without problem.

The Hakurei Border is more of a physical border, like the one of the netherworld, just stronger. However, there are places where you can still walk through it.

I personally don't care when it was "sealed" or what you think is the definition of a seal.

>>477852
Youkai Expansion Project, motherfucker, do you know it?

From PMiSS:
Youkai Expansion Project

A story from over 500 years ago.

The project refers to a plan designed and implemented by Yukari in order to restore power to the youkai of Gensokyo, who felt pressured by human expansion.

Until then Gensokyo was merely an isolated mountain place, but she planned to create the boundary between illusion and reality around Gensokyo, thus logically creating a new world.

By establishing Gensokyo as an illusionary world, and the outside as the real world, the youkai weakened by the outside world would naturally flock to Gensokyo; this was a truly epochal event.

>>477866
The netherworld is not in Gensokyo just like San Marino is not in Italy

>>477878
San Marino, California is not in Italy.

>>477882

>>477878
Except that the Netherworld really isn't in Gensokyo. If it was then you wouldn't need Yukari to weaken the border of life and death in order to travel between Gensokyo and the Netherworld.

>>477900
>If it was then you wouldn't need Yukari to weaken the border of life and death in order to travel between Gensokyo and the Netherworld.

No need to. The border wasn't good to begin with. You can just fly over it.

The netherworld is physical place in Japan. From outside the border you can see the large gate and wall surrounding it.

I think there many netherworlds, just like there is not only one Makai. It'd be a bit awkward if all mystic places are found in Japan.

Seeing as Gensokyo is a very large sphere in Japan, the netherworld is but a smaller sphere that either lies within the larger sphere or they partly overlap.

>>477919
>No need to. The border wasn't good to begin with. You can just fly over it.
Only because Yukari weakened the border. Go play PCB again.

>>477931
Prove for what I said is found in one of the endings, Reimu's, I think.

In the air there is no border, not just a weakened border, but no border at all.

The weakening through Yukari made it easy to breach through were it exists.

Even after the boundary has been strenghtened again, people (who can fly) can cross the border of the Netherworld. (IN, IaMP)

>>477964
The border between the Netherworld and Gensokyo was never restored. Yukari never got around to it.

>>477975
That's what you think.
I that were true, Reimu would have gone mad again to get you a third Extra.
As there are no longer sightseeing ghosts at the shrine, we can conclude that she took care of the matter and recreated the border around the netherworld.

>>477996
Uh...at the end of Phantasm Yukari goes back to sleep and Reimu gives up. The border doesn't get repaired.

This is why in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Youmu is out retrieving ghosts that have wandered out of the Netherworld. And why when writing the article on Hakugyokurou she notes that somehow the border has become thinner.


The one who led the group was Konpaku Youmu (Half-human Half-ghost), who works as a gardener in the Netherworld.
I directly asked her in flight why she led the huge number of ghosts and where they headed for.

"I just came here to take everybody back to the Netherworld. Since the boundary between this world and the Netherworld is thin at the moment, a small trigger is enough to let them cross and hang around in this world. Yesterday the people here made an ancestor-greeting fire all over Gensokyo, because of that, some ghosts confused by the greeting and others that took advantage of this situation entered Gensokyo to play around. That's why I'm here to return them back home."

>>478008
>Thin at the moment

Didn't Reimu completely destroy the barrier when she touched it?

>>478017
No. Youmu asks her if she broke the barrier to get into the Netherworld. Reimu responds that it opened up for her. Neither them knew that it was weakened because of Yukari.

>Why is reimuu such a bitch?
If anyone actually bothered to read the ramblings of the drunk that made this stuff, then you'd all know that it's Mima's fault that Reimu is such a bitch.

>>478047
LOL PC-98 RETCON

>>478051

>>478064 Mima is no different from anybody else in Gensokyo, she just hangs around the shrine and trolls Reimu by whispering in her ear at night and make her punish the people that the people have prayed to be punished.

You have two tasks anonymous:

1. Covert the old PC-98 games to flash
2. Write the Gensokyo Guide Book

Turtle? What turtle? There is no turtle.

>>478080
Really? hahaha oh wow.

>>478111
The turtle that ZUN said was hanging out in the nearby lake after Reimu learned to fly.
