Touhou/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The nature of the games doesn't allow for much of these, but the final boss of Subterranean Animism easily counts. You're fighting a fusion-powered Hell Raven above a respectably huge artificial sun whilst dodging other artificial suns, all accompanied by an incredibly epic Crowning Music of Awesome. Notable in that actually beating her is just as much a CMOA for you as it is for the character you play as.
    • It's so awesome that the Nico Nico Douga users have created a 3D movie of Reimu's fight against Utsuho, see it here
  • There are enough example of awesome bosses in the series for its own page.
  • Cirno's goal is to be the strongest. She's the weakest species in a land of uber-powered gods and monsters. She's the Butt Monkey. Everyone tells her "Not a chance". HOWEVER! Eiki's dialogue in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, and Fairy Wars in general indicates that she's succeeding in becoming, at least, far more than any fairy has ever been. That's right: Screw Destiny; screw what anybody else says; screw reality; and most of all, screw common sense. In a land where the impossible is possible; Cirno strives for Serial Escalation. Keep plugging, Cirno. We're rooting for you.
  • Did someone order a 1:1 scale Minecraft model of Gensokyo?
