Touhou Project ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Explained [Turn on caption] 

6:26 I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU EXPLAINED ONE OF MY FAVORITE JOKES!!!!! DAMN IT!!!!!!! I love the "explaining" music so much ahhahah

Sr Pelo's rendition of Flandre Scarlet's personality is rather similar to Marx from the Kirby series.

"No she does not act like a rabid dog in canon" will be an amazing line in ANY fandom Same goes with "No, she is not smoking in the game"

One that could also be interpreted as a reference is at 1:59 when Meiling runs away it could be interpreted as what happens in the Meiling fight in touhou 6. She runs away to prepare her "last stand." Which is kinda what happens in the animation.

6:03 marisa uses "ze" (and "daze," like the jojo word) as a filler word in her japanese dialogue. it's meant to make her sound more boy-ish, but early western fandom didn't know what to do with it and often would transliterate it into english. also, the mid-2000s fandom commonly portrayed patchouli as having a massive crush on marisa in one way or another (for an example see the locked girl pv from cool&create from about ~2007-ish)

**Touhou fans explaining sr pelo’s touhou animation lore**

You should have explained the "Ze~" joke, it's a fandom thing about Marisa being a tomboyish lady killer

6:48 => If you slow down the footage, you can see one of Sakuya's knives falling on Reimu's head.

7:13 wait is this referencing when Dio asks Jonathan “how many loaves of bread have you eaten” or something like that?

Its great that someone made a explanation video for the people who watched that video but doesn’t know the game and characters.

Some of the ReimuVsSakuya scenes reference Touhou's actual fighting games, where Sakuya does make use of a clock to stop time (albeit never directly pressing a button on it. She either flatout throws it or stops time herself in true ZA WARUDO fashion).

Patchouli: Has asthma. Donuts: Orb bullets.

8:07 charisma break

5:40 could also be a joke about how one of reimu's gimmicks is that her hitbox is smaller than every other character's

2:14 I honestly chuckled a little in this scene. Because game logic funny. Kinda disappointed you didn't explain it.

3:15, 6:21 - according to the fanon, Patchouli has asthma, I think it's a reference to this thing (maybe, I'm wrong, but whatever)

Now I know the origins of 9 Also, thanks for this. Up until now, I've only seen parts up to Sakuya's stage

Remilia's crouch at the end is a reference to her crouching sprite in some of the earlier spin off fighting games (Touhou 7.5, 10.5, and 12.3).

2:29 at first I was thinking if actually Yukari or Okina did that lol Also let's wish for Mima comeback-

8:33 i always laugh at how they just striaght up explode without notice

7:26 original game's plot includes remilia, essentially, blotting out the sun with red mist so she can go outside more often. here she's hotboxing all of gensokyo

Greetings new toho fans Always rember :Marisad:

“No, she does not act like a rabid dog in canon.” Sr Pelo: Fine. I’ll do it myself.

I like how sanaes caption is “your in the wrong game, fool.”

There is some comedic genius to this video, had a great time watching.

This should pushed to the RU-vidrs who reacted to that Sr Pelo video :v Oh and Sr Pelo drew Rumia like a dog because she's trying to eat Reimu at the conversation

Isn't the ending where it says play touhou and has reimu and marisa's head a reference to yukkuris aka "take it eazy!" blob, also the text to speak is a reference is a reference to how many touhou content creators like using that specific text to speech voice

Remlia having donuts is because she's the first boss to use a kind of bullets where the graphic of them is an attempt to make them look spherical where only the inner portion of the graphic has a hit box. They often end up looking like rings with a damaging hole. Or a donut.

7:13 the reference of the Bread is one of the dialogues when you fight Remilia. I think its a joke of vampires or maybe jojos reference but idk, this video explain it better ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4ikejrApJ54.html Also in 6:48 i dont know if you see it but Reimu was going to die. Sakuya in her boss fight is usually too tedious because of her RNG especially in her last Killing Doll spellcard. Too troll. She does not want to lose without having taken 1 life piece. In Stage 6 in his midboss dialogue if I remember correctly she said that she would make us spend 1 bomb before Remilia fight. Good video, it could be better if you explained more such as the habilities of sakuya or flandre, why the donuts of remilia, the yukkuris at the end or the typography (it was something difficult to read)

I dont know what Touhou is but is "U.N. Owen was her" a reference to the book "And then there were none"?

And you dont explain the Donut joke. In the game, Remilia attack you with Danmaku that looks similiar to donut. And it's one of her harder attack so players lose life here.

Honestly I love the small jokes you made, my favorite being the short description, “You’re in the wrong game fool”

Rumia chewing on Reimu in the face like that may not have just been a reference to her man-eating status. In Reireimu, Rumia bites Reimu in the face, albeit playfully. Think about that.

Remilia: gets hit by star Also Remilia: *starts explaining the lore of existence*

correction: it's since touhou 2: Story of Eastern Wonderland that grazing exists (without, of course, the hitbox indicator) [yes, I did play the PC98 touhous

I really liked that ZUN was featured in the animation. Dude is just chilling Strangely, he's pretty sober here

Idk if this was intentional but @ 8:08 that’s how Remilia crouches in Touhou’s first three fighting games, Immaterial & Missing Power (7.5), Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (10.5) & Hisoutensoku (12.3) They’re canon too, it’s wild The voice @ 9:06 is what I think is known as the Yukkuri voice, prominent in many 3D Touhou videos made by fans in a program called MMD/MikuMikuDance & the Reimu & Marisa heads reference Yukkuris which r Touhou characters but it’s just their heads & their faces look kinda funny

0:27 "May I *eat* the one standing before me?" -Rumia to Reimu

I’m so happy the slowed down audio reference about Remilia threatening to breed Reimu wasn’t here

In the mobilo Touhou game if you have Marisa as your favorite charafter she actually has a line saying "Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten? I've had 13 so far but 13 is an unlucky number..." Seems even then you cannot escape the Jojo references

4:42 There is a 1-Up in the trash, since Sakuya drops one after her stage 5 midboss fight.

I think the whole Remillia eating donuts thing could be a reference to Shinobu Oshino. She’s a vampire from Monogatari who’s obsessed with donuts after the main protagonist introduces them to her. But other than that potential reference, everything was explained kinda nicely.

thanks for explaining this to people who only have heard of touhou

I thought I understood after playing it but there is a bit more to it. Great video.

Thanks for explaining so much its real nice to hear

I have played all of the touhou games (except DS) but still watchin, thanks for explaining the locked girl joke because I never got it when I saw the video.

6:15 this is one of patchouli's attack in touhou 10.5

Thanks for explaining all of the references. Now I understand them all

I never really understood the baka joke since i didn't read the Touhou 9 manual, thank you for making this video!

4:17 "everybody needs a little something" -Tom from eddsworld

Oh yeah, you're the guy living in the Bad Apple PV video

Vampires liking donuts could also be seen as a reference to Oshino Shinobu from the Monogatari series.

This isn't shown in the toon, but the nine-ball isn't the only reason Cirno has a strong[est!] reputation for being an idiot in the fandom: one of her spell cards on EoSD's Easy Mode (INB4, "Ehh~Easy Modo?!") can be passed by simply moving directly in front of her and standing/shooting there until the sequence is over. No, seriously.

6:48 - don't be reimu kids, don't forget that bullets can still kill you a while after the boss dies

Alternative Explanation: Flandre plays Rock Paper Scissors with the Ground. She is a Lonely Girl Locked in a Basement her Entire Life. So no need to judge her.

I like how you'll explain everything to every comments in many touhou videos

I like how you said :she isnt a rabid dog

also remilia crouching and holding her head when hit is a reference to her crouch positions in the fighting games

Sense I'm not familiar with the original game, but loved the parody (and how goofy the characters look) this kinda helps. Though some of the text blends in to the video or character portraits too much, so yeah turning on the captions does help. The helicopter noises still crack me up. I now feel sorry for that one character now that I know she has asthma.

After reading that touhou fan work about little reimu. I interpreted Rumia acting like a dog and mauls Remiu because she is the man eating yokai.

Yeah, thanks for explanation. Truly wonderful

Thank you for explaining this game, Octet of Troop

1:14 I feel like this is suppose to be a reference to 12.8 with her ability to freeze bullets in that game. or I could be overanalyzing IDK

THIS IS PERFECT EXCELENT WORK!!

the sniffing noise when patchouli walks lmao

a minor addition to the graze mechanic it's often joked about Reimu's smaller hitbox than usual

Flandre ability is OP but it’s underused also the reason why everyone dies on rock when flandre played scissors paper rock is because her ability activates when she squeezes the “eye” in the palm of the her hand meaning she can get rid of the world if she just clenches her fist(only right hand) I think.

4:09 I like how you used the sad Sanae portrait

8:33 no it’s a hakai and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Tds meme 6:38 When maid commander enough of sledger's bonk

found a smear frame at 6:55 when they high five

D-did everyone forgot about yukari yakumo?

As a person whos NEVER EVER heard about touhou, this helps my ignorance

I love how nearly every Touhou 6 animation requires the immediate destruction of Reimu and Marisa when Flandre appears.

I don’t play touhou so I didn’t understand the original video, thank you very much for this explanation

7:56 I like how the captions say "pause this video to read" but you have to pause it to be able to read that.

A bit late but Rumia being a rabid dog could be a reference to the fact that she's one of the few youkai that still tries to hunt down and eat humans (although, being very unsuccessful)

Remilia's pose after being defeated is a reference to "Charisma Break", which is a meme I still don't get but exists

I think you've missed the donuts one. Remilia shoots a bunch of big energy balls that kinda look like donuts

One of Cirno's attacks on easy mode has an obscenely easy safe spot......right in front of her, if you hang about there you can just sit about and time her out if you want. This is what led to her reputation as a complete idiot, ZUN had embraced it by the time the game with the manual that calls her a (9) came about.

I can't believe you got references like the hrtp death anim and locked girl but missed jokes like the donuts being a parody of the actual bullets she shoots in the game

The vending machine on 5:00 reminded me of that one soda machine in roblox Gensokyo Arena,the one with the hina face.

Not to be confused with Touhou Project: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil the Game

Wow... This video has more sense than I expected...

is nobody mentioning the reference of Remilia using excessive amounts of those donut bullets that are always so hard to tell what part is the proper hitbox so I keep running into them over and over again until I have to start over cuz I ran out of lives and I just want to unlock the EX stage and I'm not crying you're crying

I mean I think remilia straight up asks how many breads have you eaten? to marisa in the original game and she answers like "12 or so times I guess" cuz she doesn't really eat bread. Theres something really charming about ostensibly incredibly indie games that have taken on a new life due to fandom.

thanks

2:13 reimu: *bitch i don't even need to*

i had a feeling this video was full of references i just didnt know what

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

- All Humanity Sentinels and Alpha Humanity Sentinels: That's why you Shouldn't use 5.5555556e-10% of your true powers, Remilia, and why are you scared of your own sister? Oh yeah, 8:33, she literally exploded Reimu and Marisa, why didn't they run? That's why we're all afraid of Flandre and run away from her unless we're with at least 20 Alpha Humanity Sentinels Or 200 normal Humanity Sentinels.

Thank you 2017 toyota innova type g for giving me information about touhou

beside the midbosses, good thing i know everyone else in this video from reading doujinshi lol.

i still think that one comments had more information than this but okay not bad

You didn’t explain Remilia’s donuts rip

8:08 Charisma break

6:26 Patchouli: is dying The music: 😇

Even Cirno can be a jojo ref cauz Dio in part 1 can freeze his opponents. 5:40 8 knives and 20 graze yo are we playin touhou 15? 7:57 Anarchy Bullet Hell

Video: turn on captions Also video: shows text on the screen anyways

it would be great if you extended the time om the text onscreen, but great explanations nontheless!
