/jp/ - Otaku Culture

That's what danmaku are for, dummy.

Since the first game nobody has been confirmed to die during the current timeline (HRtP-TD).

Some did die in the past though, like Yuyuko and Mima.

You can keep a good yokai or zombie down, you should know that by now.

>>8041009
If she's dead why is she still speaking?

It's practically a rule that nobody ever dies. If it ever did happen it would be an extreme change.

>>8041006
And Mokou and Kaguya used to "kill" each other on a daily basis.

>>8041032
She doesn't die, she has dialogue after the battle and Reimu never kills/seals a youkai, like how she also tricked Nue.

>>8041006
I don't know about Yuyuko but Mima is already dead

>>8041057
>Mima is already dead
No shit, sherlock. Thank you for posting what the other poster said.

Mima is not a ghost. She says as much.

You kill Mokou every spellcard she uses (or she kills herself), but it doesn't count because she's immortal.

I thought someone died in the PC-98 games

>>8041062
>Mima is not a ghost. She says as much.

She is a ghost, manual says she's just tsun about it.

>You kill Mokou every spellcard she uses

No you don't, it's impossible for danmaku to kill a human, she's using her resurrection ability as a spellcard gimmick which is what the draft says and what every other Touhou does as well.

They kinda mention in the dialog between Remilia and Reimu that Reimu killed Sakuya.

I though they only used danmaku when challenging Reimu, but youkais can kill each other just fine.

Reimu's primary duty is to exterminate youkai

Rumia was never seen after EoSD

Not officially canon, but it's implied she's dead.

>>8041065
Wait, so she's telefragging herself for fun?

>>8041077
Rumia's shown up at least 3 more times.

>>8041077
She's seen in PMiSS, BAiJR, StB and OSP.

You don't read much do you?

>>8041080
That's sarcasm, just like 99% of Touhou games' dialogue.

>>8041082
Hell it's not even known if it's the actual ''ressurrection'', but we know for sure it's like Utsuho using danmaku suns instead of real ones and Yuyuko using butterflies (a symbol of death I think?) instead of actual insta-death attack.

>>8041086
>That's sarcasm, just like 99% of Touhou games' dialogue.

>>8041102
I thought you said you were leaving /jp/.

>>8041105
Nope.

If in Gensokyo conflict is decided by who wins Danmaku then wouldn't a power level list simply be a list of skill at Danmaku? It would still be as pertinent.

>>8041115
The spellcard draft was made so that everyone had an equal chance of beating the other regardless of power, this is also a story-telling technique to avoid fans from arguing silly powerlevel discussions, unfortunately it didn't work in the end and everyone just started assuming things from bare text without any actual defined comparison in canon, other than Shiki and the moonbitches.

yuyuko eats mystia in IN

>>8041128
R.I.P. Mystia.

So... what happens if someone in Gensokyo breaks the agreement and brutally murders someone using his or her magic power without restriction?

>>8041139
Reimu and Yukari wreck their shit.

>>8041139
It's still not known if it's possible to break the rules, there's also 3 examples that suggest that they can't be broken. Utsuho wanted to kill everyone in the outside world and move the new Hell into there yet she still used danmaku instead of nuking her way out. Byakuren was sealed for millenia yet the very second she's unsealed she already has spellcards and everything. Same with Miko and Futo.

>>8041115
Yeah. Figuring it out would be hard though. It would have to be based mostly on the games, which are too loaded down with arbitrary video game realities to treat objectively.

>>8041145
How would they know? Yukari's creepy Peeping Tom ability can hardly inform her of everything.

>>8041145
That was never mentioned, nor has it been shown that the rules are breakable.

>>8041145
I realize this is complete just blind guess/wish, but I really like the mental image.

Yoshika's a jiangshi, so she's dead. Well, before the story. She is so cute with Seiga though.

>>8041154
Yukari watches you masturbate.

Anyway, Gensokyo's a small and gabby place. If someone dies, red-white and disreputable smelly gaps will find out.

>>8041155
I think you got the burden of proof backwards there, anon. There's no reason to think there's some kind of anti-violence field restricting everyone in Gensokyo from acting freely.

>>8041164
>Yukari watches you masturbate.
That must turn her on.

>>8041128
>>8041131
But she survives/gets better.

>>8041168
Yes there is, the spellcard draft was made to avoid murders and so far, those who should not have used danmaku still used it, like posted in >>8041151

Otherwise, youkai wouldn't have stopped eating villagers. Now they only have the random chance of a meaty outsider crossing the barrier by accident to eat a human.

Anyway, listen to my story.
The other day, I went to a nearby /jp/. A /jp/.
And there was a huge crowd, so I couldn't find a place to sit.
And after a closer look, I saw that the banner read something like meido visits infrequent.
Seriously, are you morons? Idiots?
Hey, losers. Don't suddenly show up at /jp/ because the meido isn't around much.
It's shitposting. Just vanilla shitposting.
And there's even a family here.
Four people having a family discussion at /jp/ huh?
Must be one hell of a special occasion.
And then the dad's like, okay, I'm gonna post Saten.
Just shoot me now.
Hey, guys, I'll give you /bun/, so scram.
/jp/ is supposed to be a more brutal place.
Nothing odd about getting in a fight with the person opposite you at one of those Japanese bird threads.
Knife someone, or get knifed yourself.
That's the atmosphere we want around here.
Women and children should get lost.
So I finally found a place to sit when the guy next to me ordered a Flanfly with extra Sakuya.
And I snapped again.
Now look here. Extra Sakuya ain't the "in" thing no more, dumbass.
Don't come in here looking like you're all that and ordering no extra Sakuya.
I want to know if you really want that extra Sakuya.
Put you on the rack. For a whole hour.
Yeah. You probably just ordered that for the hell of it.
As a regular of /jp/, I can tell you that the current fad is Madotsuki puking. That's the thing.
A large post with a sarcastic quote, Madotsuki puking. That's how we roll.
If you just order extra Sakuya, you get more onions.
Which means you get less post.
So, get Madotsuki puking and a sarcastic quote and you're set.
But once you've ordered it, your name will be on their list.
A double-edged sword.
Can't recommend this to an amateur.
Etc.

>>8041164
She sleeps most of the time.

The master peeper would actually be Miko, she can ''see'' any moment in your life that she wants to.

>>8041189
Or Aya.

>>8041190
Thank you for that edit. I can't get enough of it.

It was absolutely needed and indispensable for this thread.

I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't posted that invaluable edit.

>>8041189
I thought she could only hear your desires, not see whatever you're doing.

>>8041203
She says to Reimu that she has seen her whole life through her power.

She can't use it on Youmu since she's half-ghost, however.

>>8041182
It's also a lighthearted video game series where most of the dialog is comedy lines, made by a guy who cares more about feeling than writing airtight canon. Byakuren knows spellcards because [there is no reason].

>>8041220
That's what I thought as well.

People who 1cc the games should know this, hence why 90% of the artists don't know how Gensokyo works or how the characters really are and just base themselves off other fanart.

The whole spell card system would translate well to anime.

reimus a zombie, so she must have died at some point.

>>8041128
she talked about chiken bones but what if she eated some other bird?

>has anyone actually died or been killed in the story?

The crow from Bougetsushou. And the ibis from CoLA.

Being a bird in Gensokyo is suffering.

>>8041600
You don't know the half of it.

>>8041600
Birds have evolved past the need to suffer. This is why I can play Aya's stage again and again without guilt.
