{{examples|Examples that pertain to the story, [[Fanon]], fandom, or other non-gameplay elements:}}
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Since 80-90% of material related to the series is fan-created, this happens quite a bit.
* [[Angst Dissonance]]: Parsee's entire existence revolves around her being miserable. This is played for laughs, [[Tsundere|especially]] [[Butt Monkey|by the]] [[Chew Toy|fandom]].
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: There are a fair number of characters with grim or even tragic histories, and hints that a few others have their troubled sides, but very little angst occurs onscreen (with a few exceptions, mostly involving [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|Mokou]]), and the tone of the series [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|tends towards carefree]].
* [[Broken Base]]: The fandom will never stop arguing as to what's canon, whether Touhou is canonically grimdark or not, or over popular interpretations.
* [[Canon Sue]]: Watatsuki no Yorihime and her sister Toyohime to some extent. Feats include [[The Ace|besting four of the primary characters in combat]], being able to summon the power of gods [[Always Someone Better|more properly than]] Reimu, and [[
* [[Counterpart Comparison]]:
** Shou with Ran. Ever since she appeared and was revealed to be Nazrin's master (though not originally), everybody started looking at them as the new Chen and Ran. Both Shou and Ran serve "[[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|Old Maids]]", Byakuren being the latest addition to said group, both are animal youkai and both are masters of a type of youkai you wouldn't exactly <ref>Ran is a kitsune/fox, the same family as a dog, and her shikigami Chen is a cat. Shou is a tiger, a feline, and her servant Nazrin is a mouse.</ref>
Line 11:
** Koishi/Flandre is somewhat popular due to the fact they're both odd, hated sisters of a feared woman who own mansions, occasionally depicted as [[Ax Crazy]].
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]/[[Ear Worm]]: Both the games themselves and the fan works around them have some [[Touhou/Awesome Music|awesome music.]]
* [[Deconstruction Fic]]: The fandom contains plenty of this; the piles of [[Fridge Horror]] regarding the nature of many youkai and their relationship with humans, as well as most characters being selfish, belligerent, and very much insane, provide a lot of material. [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Doyora A Bad End] is a [[Dead Baby Comedy]] take on this.
* [[Designated Hero]]: Canonically, Reimu tends to be more... cavalier than one might hope from the hero.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: At least one per game.
Line 33:
** Her name, title, and the fact she has a shackle with a broken chain around her left arm, have all fueled speculations that Kasen Ibara is one of the four Devas of the Mountain - specifically Suika's daughter / lover, if you go by the original legend. Japanese mythology, which ZUN takes great liberties with anyway, does include oni hermits. And that's before you get to her mysterious relationship with the Hakurei Shrine or the thing with her right arm.
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Progressively less as the series progresses, but the PC-98 games in particular had very flimsy plots.
* [[Expy]]:
** Meira: Looks ''remarkably'' similar to Konngara.
** Kotohime: Has a visual resemblance to an unnamed ''Story of Eastern Wonderland'' midboss.
Line 60:
* [[Hype Backlash]]:
** A majority of shoot-em-up fans, who feel that ''Touhou'' has driven attention away from other shmups, particularly those with more mechanical visual styles.
** Non-shmup fans, who are utterly baffled by the popularity of a simple shmup series and really don't dig [[Moe]], [[Animesque]] fanart, or the [[
** People who discover ''Touhou'' through the fandom and then [[It's Hard, So It Sucks|get frustrated to the point of ragequit]] by the [[Bullet Hell]] genre.
** People who get frustrated, disgusted, or scared away by the enormous [[Fan Dumb]].
Line 88:
*** Wriggle is often paired up with ''[[Axe Crazy|Yuuka]]'', of all people.
*** Mokou and Mystia, in spite of Mokou claiming to run a [[Carnivore Confusion|yakitori stand]]. Though Mystia is a sparrow, not a chicken.
** [[Everyone Is Gay]]/[[Les Yay Shipping]]: The inevitable consequence of an [[
** [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Marisa gets paired with Reimu, Mima, Alice, Patchouli, Flandre, Nitori, and [[Memetic Sex God|many, ''many more'']].
** [[Ship Mates]]: Reimu x Marisa shippers will pair up Alice and Patchouli for this reason (or Reimu/Alice).
Line 138:
** The scoring system in ''Ten Desires'' requires that you spend most of the time near the top of the screen, meaning you have to rely on luck and memorisation to avoid getting hit, rather than skill. The game also gets rid of the deathbombing, another hallmark of the ''Touhou'' series.
* [[Surprise Difficulty]]:
** Players familiar with fanworks come into Cirno's fight expecting it to be a joke. [["Wake
** [[Brick Joke|Kogasa]].
* [[That One Boss]]: Enough examples for [[That One Boss/Shoot'Em Up/Touhou|their own page]].
* [[Tier-Induced Scrappy]]:
** Fans often describe [[One Man Party|Alice solo]] as the worst playable character in ''Imperishable Night'' because of her narrow range of attack and terrible spell damage. [[
** Utsuho in ''Hisoutensoku'' is a [[Skill Gate Character]] with extremely powerful (and surprisingly quick) melee attacks as well as immense and incredibly dense strong bullets. She's also one of the more popular characters, making her the bane of most players just starting out.
