== Gensokyo is Reimu's childhood fantasy ==
Reimu really is the miko of her family's small, run-down shrine, but only in our world. With this comes an awful lot of free time and boredom around the shrine. In order to keep herself entertained, she thought up Gensokyo as a small child, as well as the characters, as something akin to imaginary friends in an imaginary setting. Perhaps influenced by real people and real events, Gensokyo, its residents, and the happenings that occur there are just as exaggerated and wacky as you might expect from the mind of a little girl with not much else to do. This would also explain the increase in complexity and refinement as the series has progressed - Reimu's grown up and thinks more clearly and in greater detail.
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
Kanako asked ZUN to place herself, Suwako, and Sanae into his series, in order to drum up more faith in OUR world. Yukari met her during a drinking session (see another WMG below concerning Yukari and ZUN's drinking friendship), and they agreed that it was a good idea.
 
Now, while the Moriya Shrine gains fans in the game (benefitting ZUN), the '''real''' Shrine on our side of the fourth wall enjoys more pilgrimages and more faith (helping Kanako). [[All According to Plan|Just as planned]].
 
== The Hakurei Shrine is for REAL on our side of the Fourth Wall. ==
Line 220 ⟶ 222:
** She was sealed along with Rumia, obviously.
*** A doujinshi along almost these exact lines: Cirno and Rumia were once among the mightiest of youkai, but both lost much of their powers and mental faculties fighting in Yukari's disastrous Lunar Invasion.
*** That doujinshi (''[http://www.mediafire.com/?3njogn3njlj Three Dark Times]''){{Dead link}}'') also claimed that Yukari, Cirno and Rumia were the only three participants in the Lunar invasion, which doesn't seem too credible. Then again, this is fanon.
* If she combines this power with Utsuho? Their combined ability will produce ''cold fusion.''
** [[Incredibly Lame Pun|That was terrible]].
Line 335 ⟶ 337:
 
== Yukari's gaps are connected to [[Fullmetal Alchemist|the Gate of Truth]] ==
In addition to the creepy eyes, her [https://web.archive.org/web/20121104033928/http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/File:YukariPCB.png official sprite in PCB has hands coming out of it] and they aren't hers, much like the titular Gate in FMA. Considering that a gate is just another boundary...
 
== Shou is Pudge from DotA ==
Line 437 ⟶ 439:
This is made up from one thing: Sariel is the Final Boss of ''The Highly Responsive to Prayers'', a Stage 20 Boss. If the power scaling goes up as expected (With EX-Bosses equaling Stage7 and Yukari equaling Stage8), she could singlehandedly destroy Gensokyo, [[The End of the World as We Know It|the World]] and [[Chuck Norris]].
* We also shouldn't forget Yuuka Kazami in Lotus Land Story, now should we. She was the boss for both Stage 5 and Stage 6!
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130113034224/http://doyora.deviantart.com/art/Not-Even-Drop-91078512 Combined with the above post, do I even have to say it?]
* Sariel is really a stage 4 boss. Stages in ''HRtP'' are divided into 4 levels, then a boss. I think.
** Nope: There are four stages without a boss, and a boss stage after each of those sets. And because of the split route, there are ''six'' characters that would build the top tier: YuugenMagan, Mima, Kikuri, Elis, Sariel and Konngara. Also, I'd rather rate the character's power by their win ratio, as it would imply Yukari would be at ''zero percent'', as battles done in teams are not legit for the ladder (bad luck for you, ''IN'' pairs). Reimu's and Marisa's wins in SA still count, as they only take a skill of the youkai with them, making those not participate in battles.
Line 876 ⟶ 878:
== ZUN can actually draw very well. The reason he doesn't is because if he did, the epicness would collapse the universe. ==
Why not?
* Why would he intentionally draw badly? Simple: He's like the guy who made [[Discworld/The Last Continent|Fourecks]] - anything he puts too much effort into becomes ''real''.
** In fact, he created a ''real'' copy of Gensokyo before he made the games, so there are now ''three'' Gensokyos in existence:
##**# The '''true''' Gensokyo that exists independent of anyone, the one that his drinking buddy Yukari comes from;
##**# The Gensokyo (copy) he created when he did some sketches that carried too much "reality" in them'
##**# The Gensokyo (copy) that exists on the other side of the Fourth Wall, created by ZUN for the game series and remoulded by the countless hands of the fandom in their fanvids, fangames, and ''doujinshi''.
 
== Alice is actually infertile. ==
Line 1,029 ⟶ 1,031:
 
== Reisen has the [[Persona 3|wild]] [[Persona 4|card]] ==
I got the idea when reading the following lines from the [httphttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=xnupk7n1ewtlbw3ce85px8nj&page=55 Alternate Interpretation compendium] on [[TV Tropes]]:
{{quote|So, basically, Reisen is the ultimate of not being able to tell anything. She's, I think this is the right term, somewhat sociopathic with the ability to apparantly completely change her personality to match whatever she needs for the current situation. For all we know the cute, helpless bunny appeal is all one big facade to rule us in.}}
This is precisely what the wild card does, it lets you change your persona, your personality, at a whim. [[Persona 3|Meaning that if she manages to somehow get Sakuya's "The World", she might even be able to seal away the moon.]]
Line 1,427 ⟶ 1,429:
== [[Seihou]] is the future of the Earth outside the barrier. ==
We know that for Maribel and Renko, [[Future Food Is Artificial]]. This will eventually result in ''all'' plant life but cacti becoming extinct. In desperation; mankind begged, pleaded, prayed for this one species of life besides themselves to save them. It couldn't. It was just a cactus. Mankind despaired. But within the Gensokyo Barrier, because of the dreams of man, cacti with an abundant amount of [[Mana]] started appearing. Out of compassion and self-preservation (Gensokyo needs the outside world to survive) this dream breed of cactus was sent back. Miraculously, it retained its powers and "Saboten Energy" was born.
* [[All According to Plan|Just As Planned]] by Yukari, I would easily wager.
** Rather, they're a hybrid. There was something special about the cacti in ''[[Seihou]]'', whatever killed off life wasn't just mankind taking in resources and not replenishing them. Cacti were immune to whatever killed off all other plantlife and the smiles of children. Let's call it an "Illusion Drought." The Gensokyo Dream Cacti were born from mankind hoping this would save them; but they would not have survived the outside world for very long. '''Someone''' crossbred the Gensokyo stock with the ''[[Seihou]]'' stock; creating a type of mana/power that would exist in the outside world; but was terribly unstable.
 
Line 1,498 ⟶ 1,500:
 
== Rin Satsuki was Yukari's sister and she was the one who killed Mima ==
Because of this, Yukari [[Ret-Gone|retgoned]] Rin Satsuki to prevent her from killing anyone else. However, this activated Rin's {{smallcapssmall-caps|Manipulation of Revenge}}, which allowed her to be reincarnated as Meimu, and is secretly planning to take revenge on Yukari by killing Reimu. But she'll likely fail.
 
== Maribel isn't Yukari ==
She's [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|Mima]]. Upon discovering that Mima failed to cross the Sanzu River, Yukari started tearing apart the PC-98 continuity to find Mima. This caused Reimu's hair to change from purple to black, and caused the gates to Makai, Jigoku, and the Dream Worlds to be closed off. In fear, Rika and Rikako ran to the Kappas to hide, as they were fellow scientists, Meira fled back to... her samurai friends, Kana stops going outside her old house, Ellen, Chiyuri, and Yumemi all flee back to the outside world, Orange fled to the Dream World, Kurumi stayed where she was, as Yukari didn't care about her, and Yuuka's mansion was fine because Yukari didn't want to start a fight with Yuuka. Genjii and Ruukoto were taken by Yukari: Genjii because Yukari [[Reality Warper|boundary-haxed]] Reimu the {{smallcapssmall-caps|Power to Float in the Air}} and Ruukoto to make sure Reimu does her shrine maiden duties. With nowhere to hide, Mima had Marisa use a spell that reincarnated her as a human in the outside world: Maribel. And, since all the other plot holes were tied up, Marisa's hair changed from red to blond in between [[So EW]] and [[Po DD]] because of facing the magical power of the Yin-Yang Orbs. Yes, they are that awesome.
 
== [[Faceless Eye|YuugenMagan]] was Yukari. ==
Line 1,603 ⟶ 1,605:
Bonus: It's canon that Reisen ''has'' worked as a spy before, in the service of Eirin. She was sent to the Lunar Capital occassionally in order to gather information. It's also stated Reisen used her telepathic abilities in order to carry out this mission, which means that the "Reisen can use her powers to communicate with someone on Earth while she's on the Moon" theory in this entry appears to be a canon ability she already has.
