It's always nice to see LoLKhus paired with whatstheirname sisters.

Visually? Muted colors, uncoordinated outfits, very different designs despite coming as a pair, and not-Benben's face quite literally looks like the average Touhou.
Character-wise? They do nothing new; musical theme, sisters, tsukumogami, route-dependent bosses, all done multiple times before. They have no particular backstory or motivation, they were just born and wanted to fight a human. And they're not at all resonant, at least to westerners.
In the context of when they were introduced? Every other character in the game outshone them a hundred times over. Wakasagihime and Raiko maybe less so, but the others definitely all had strong gimmicks, designs, and ties to myth.
All this taken together means that Benben and her sister just don't stand a chance at competing for head space.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 23 10:54:28 2018 No.18273593 >>18273304 Also, I think introducing characters in groups makes it harder to remember the individual. The same thing is true for the Prismrivers; none of them is all that popular individually.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 23 11:16:20 2018 No.18273680 Why they are less popular than Prismriver sisters?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 23 11:19:33 2018 No.18273692 >>18273000 They’re even forgettable in the canon, since Raiko joined the prismrivers instead of hanging out with these two

In addition to what the thread already mentioned, they're really similar to each other and are not blessed with being released in 2hu's golden age (and even the Prismrivers and Aki sisters are unpopular). The same thing could be applied to Mai and Satono, I guess. They suffer more because they're just there to emphasize Okina's power. On the other side, the Yorigami sisters got really popular. I know that's because they're fighting game bosses, more recent, etc.. But I think the most important thing is that they are really different from one another. They dress and act differently and have somewhat unique abilities that differ from one another. I think ZUN should do this gimmick to all the new multi-bosses in newer games.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 23 13:50:36 2018 No.18274326 >>18273695 Joon and Shion are actually pretty cool characters and they work great both as a couple and as individual characters.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 23 14:01:37 2018 No.18274369 >>18273217 What place did she even get? Her sister was already down near the dangerous area which slowly gets filled by things that can't even be called characters, like Shanghai dolls.
