Line 115:
*** Even if non-letal, I guess it hurts. Isn't it a good reason to dodge everything?
*** Vouching for that, in a manga Marisa mentioned that getting hit by a danmaku is like getting pelted with a ball or something. Also, she doesn't defeat them, she just takes their pictures and runs away.
* I think Aya is a rare breed of [[
** Aya, in her peak, ''did'' have quite a few detractors, and very vocal ones at that. But she also had a lot of fans as well. Her roles in the series have been reduced lately (she doesn't appear at all in ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' or ''Great Fairy War'', and while she does appear in ''Hisoutensoku'', she only does so if you have ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'' and has no role in any of the stories), and as a result, much of the hatred towards her has died down.
*** Not quite true. She's in one of Fairy Wars' ending (the one that leads to the EX stage, even), and she's mentioned in passing in UFO.
Line 228:
*** Also, don't forget that the entire cast of fighting games (And so ''Hisoutensoku'') is composed of very high ranked characters.
* Cirno should be able to use [[Kurt Vonnegut|Ice-nine]], no?
** She could until [[
*** She still can create it, but she doesn't because [[Obfuscating Stupidity|if she froze all the water in the world, most people would die... then who would she reign upon when she finally decides to step out of the shadows?]]
* Cirno doesn't "Manipulate Cold". That's Letty. Cirno's ability is "Manipulation of Cold AIR", according to Letty's interview.
Line 321:
== Mima is... ==
* [[Retcon|Completely retconned out of existence]].
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Marisa's biological mother]]; this is [[Word of God|somewhat implied by a music CD of ZUN's]].
* [[Stern Teacher|Marisa's teacher]], and possibly a sort of "adoptive" mother.
* The spirit of a member of the Hakurei family, possibly a branch member.
Line 480:
== The other two Devas of the Mountain will appear in future games. ==
Well, there's Suika in ''IAMP'' and Yuugi in ''SA''... chances are the other two will pop up as bosses in the near future.
* My bet's on them being [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]] since Suika and Yuugi are pretty clearly red.
== Mokou and Kaguya symbolise the Sun and the Moon, respectively. ==
Line 583:
* Plus if you want to go the Sakuya-was-a-former-vampire-hunter route, note what is frequently a [[Dhampyr]]'s employment in that entry.
* Clever, but there's one small problem - she can go 100% human in ''IN'', while half-ghost Youmu can only go 50%.
* If so, she must be [[Jo
** And considering that Dio is a massive asshole in Jojo canon, this gives Sakuya all the motivation she needs to be a vampire hunter.
Line 769:
== Rumia is Satan sealed in the form of a young blonde ==
Her name is alternately spelled Lumia, cognate to Latin ''lumen'', just like the name Lucifer. Her usual "the saint was crucified" pose could be construed as a sort of deliberate blasphemy. Oh, and her darkness-manipulating ability seems perfectly appropriate for the Prince of Darkness. She may also be one of the more evil characters in a world of [[Grey and White Morality]], as she's one of only a handful of youkai who explicitly expresses an interest in eating humans.
* Um, doesn't "lumen" mean light in Latin? Because that would mean that "Lumia" is either a victim of [[Non
== To expand/play with the previous theory: Rumia is the Alpha youkai, and the Dark Messiah who will bring about the new Dark Age of Gensokyo. ==
Line 934:
* Kanako suffers from a severe God complex, or more precisely a Wind God complex. Suwako has an extremely weird combination, she has a God complex, and she also thinks she is a frog, hopping around like one.
** Sanae is Kanako's daughter, and visits her mother often. She plays along with the patients' escapades, and, as of late, [[Becoming the Mask|is becoming more eager]] to play make-believe, especially now that she's compared it to her [[I Just Want to Be Special|comparatively dull]] reality. Her humans-first attitude is a reflection of her annoyance with many of the other patients.
* Utsuho Reiuji worked at a nuclear central until a [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|catastrophic nuclear accident]] happened and she was exposed to massive amounts of radiation, deforming her foot, forcing the amputation of one of her arms and its replacement by a prosthetic arm, and twisting her brain. Utsuho believes that she has gained superpowers (oh, and that she's a bird). She likes to wrap herself in a sanitary blanket like a cape, and make up ludicrous plans to burn the asylum to the ground.
** Alternatively, Satori is a patient with a form of autism from so far into the deep end of the spectrum that she finds normal social interaction impossible. Instead, she keeps pets, a cat (Orin) and a raven that comes past every day because she feeds it (Utsuho). Since she can think well enough to require stimulation (just being rather sideways about it), she reads the facility's medical texts; since she has a habit of diagnosing others with the same things the nurses say, they all think she can read minds.
* Aya was once a world famous journalist but one day had her cover blown while following some highly illegal lines of investigation. The ensuing storm saw her reputation and publishing history made a joke practically overnight; since she lived for her job, this was enough to make her completely snap. She was admitted for her mental wellbeing, but since she's mostly harmless (running back and forth taking photos for the big story she still believes she's chasing) she's allowed more freedom to run around than the others, also making her think she's incredibly fast.
Line 992:
== Mima's true nature... ==
Mima is just a normal chick. I mean, she got killed eventually, but death happens to everyone, yeah? And she just so happened to be a magician, which, of course, isn't anything terribly special. So she's just died, and is minding her own business, sitting at the banks of the Sanzu River waiting for the lazy Shinigami to get to ferrying her across, when suddenly she's GRABBED FROM BEHIND AND DRAGGED OFF. (Explicitly stated as what turns one into an Evil Spirit, what Mima is referred to as) She, like any sensible person, Screams her lungs out, but Komachi doesn't even think of helping her. So, eventually, when she's completely within the bounds of the living world, she's got her powers back, and just beats the crap out of the Youkai that carried her off and kills them, explaining why she isn't under their control. Well, now she can't do anything to the one she dragged off... But, she's got no clue how to get back to the world of the dead. So she figures, she's [[Only Mostly Dead|not exactly "dead",]] explaining her dialogue in PoDD. But she realizes... She ain't going back. So [[Face Heel Turn|her morals essentially vanish.]] That's what makes her "Evil". But... It wasn't her fault. So she wants to revive herself, if only to get a second chance. But in the meantime, she just wants to make the lazy ferryman's job as hard as she can- [[What the Hell, Hero?|What the hell, I'm screaming and you just keep sleeping?]]-, and the only way she figures she can do that is just [[Kill
* This Guess deserves a Fucking Awesome seal of approval.
* This is indeed a good theory and you should feel good.
Line 1,304:
Either Yukari vs Kanako is [[Evil Versus Evil|a youkai dictator versus a zealot goddess]], or Kanako is the leader of the ''good'' forces, despite being the antagonist to the so-called heroes. Of course the "heroes", Reimu and Marisa, are pawns unaware that they're aiding a behind the curtains dictatorship, rather than simply defeating dangerous youkai. They're not doing it intentionally. It's all part of ''her'' plan.
So, Kanako & Okuu were the good guys (or rather, gals) in the story, seeking to turn a wasteland filled with human eating monsters ruled by an insane [[Reality Warper]], into a prosperous land filled with technological advancement. You, the player, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|stopped them]].
== Reimu is a descendant of the [[Hokuto no Ken|Hokuto]] bloodline ==
Line 1,355:
== Patchouli is an [[Asperger Syndrome|Aspie]] ==
Everyone who has some basic [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Knowledge]] about Asperger's symptoms would've noticed it in her by now; her [[Hikikomori]] lifestyle, her complete devotion to gathering knowledge rather than social interaction, [[The Spock|her formal, monotone speech]], expertizing in only a few specific subjects (witchcraft) and only talking about their interests (read her SWR quotes), [[The Stoic|not showing emotions]], and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|only wearing pajama's all day]].
== Like nearly all members of Myouren, Kyouko Kasodani has other non-religious reasons for joining. ==
