Line 2: [[File:IronOfYinAndYang_221.jpg\|link=Game Maker\|frame\|It is both a miracle of science and abomination against all that is right. Now if they could just do something about that watermark.]] ~~aka~~'''''Touhou - The Iron of Yin and Yang''''', also known as '''''''Touhou Onmyoutetsu''''''', is a [[Fan Vid\|fan made]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20110903002213/http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/9829867 46 episode video series] by hiro on Nico Video ([http://mmcafe.com/nico.html which you may view using this tool here]). English speaking ''Touhou'' fans mostly know it through [http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/729 Mr. Pavlov's fan comic], while those who don't are left wondering why an [[Our Elves Are Different\|Elvaan]] keeps being [[Crack Pairing\|paired with]] Gensokyo denizens in [[Fan Art~~\|fan art~~]]. The latest disturbance in [[Touhou\|Gensokyo]] has connected it to another [[Magical Land\|fantasy gaming world]], [[Final Fantasy XI\|Vana'diel]]. Buront, a [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold\|brash]] Elvaan paladin and [[Strange Syntax Speaker\|unusual]] [[Message Board\|2ch]] [[Ascended Fanboy\|celebrity]], is literally [[Trapped in Another World\|tossed into the thick of things]]. Landing at the Hakurei Shrine and unable to go back, he joins <s>iRenmu</s> [[Miko\|Reimu]] in her job to quell the new monster-related problems. And [[Hilarity Ensues\|general shenanigans]] with ''Touhou'''s [[Loads and Loads of Characters\|large cast]]. Things don't stay simple for long as the darker forces of both worlds begin to [[Disaster Dominoes\|play off each other]]. [[Drunk Onon the Dark Side\|Hostilities resurface]] across Gensokyo [[It Got Worse\|combined with outside threats]] from Vana'diel. As the new outbreak causes old tensions to resurface and the heroes band together to face them, they find themselves reexamining their ties, as well as the full consequences of [[Status Quo Is God\|solving the problem]]. The videos are a [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie\|parody playthrough of a game with no plans for release]]. Made with [[Game Maker\|RPG Maker]], the sprites and music are taken from many sources. Featured most prominently are the main characters' spell animations using Tasogare Frontier's fighting game sprites. The series is ~~currently~~ untranslated and [[Impossible Task\|may have to stay that way]]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The fan comic, ''[http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/729 I turned Iron of Yin and Yang into a comic because I felt like it]'' by Tomotsuka Haruomi, aka Mr. Pavlov. He also draws [[NSFW]] pics on the side, so be careful where you look. ** Originally most boss battles are over 10 turns (50+ actions) a piece. Given the time constraints and how ridiculously hard [[Bullet Hell\|bullet clouds]] are to draw, they are considerably shortened in the comic. Some are even skipped, such as the first [[Quirky Miniboss Squad\|Dirty Ninja fight]] and [[Cores and Turrets Boss\|Patchouli]]. * [[A Day in ~~The~~the Limelight]]: {{spoiler\|Keine, LS Team Boomerang, and A Very Unlikely Man}}, as a team. * [[Affectionate Parody]] * [[Angrish]]: Some conditions make people type(?) worse. Line 33 ⟶ 32: ** Buront and company become the reason for Sanae's memetic mean streak. * [[Crossover]]: ''[[Touhou]]'' crossed with tourrette syndrome and just a touch of ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]''. * [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Buront. He might be [[~~Ted~~Small ~~Baxter~~Name, Big Ego\|mostly talk]] and his [[Unreliable Narrator\|talk]] [[Inherently Funny Words\|ridiculous]]. But when it mattered, truly the Paladin was in a [[Crazy Enough to Work\|class of his own]]...(serious) ** S...so cool taru~<ref>...what the hell is a taru?</ref> * [[Dark Is Evil]]: If a paladin holds dark power things [[Yin-Yang Bomb\|light and darkness come together]] and [[Fake Balance\|look unstoppable]]. If a [[The Dark Side\|DRK]] holds it its the opposite and they [[Brown Note\|go crazy and die]]. Line 40 ⟶ 39: ** Team [[Engrish\|DRAK]] * [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Nor a horrible job class under [[The Grim Reaper\|Komachi]]. Here she's as [[Team Mom\|mature and dependable]] as she is laid back. Until someone [[Tempting Fate\|mentions]] [[Rule of Funny\|the trope]]. * [[Drunk Onon the Dark Side]]: A [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity\|side effect]] of coming into contact with a [[Seven Deadly Sins\|Gluttony Shard]], making the holder lose restraint and become [[The Unfettered]]. Which is bad news considering Gensokyo is held together by its inhabitants knowing when to [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum\|hold back]]. Things [[It Got Worse\|become worse]] if the host has the right power and motivation to [[Demonic Possession\|resonate]] with [[Final Boss\|something]] from Vana. Spoilers galore. {{spoiler\|The [[The Doll Episode\|Fallen Italian Doll]] just wants to leave a stronger impression on her creator. Even if it means hurting her or being destroyed in the process.}} Sick of the [[Fandom\|fandom's]] [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire\|adorable interpretations]], {{spoiler\|<s>Emiria</s> Remilia breaks the Vampire Contract and resumes her predatory [[Young Conqueror\|conquest]].}} Anyone not useful to this purpose is now [[Kick the Dog\|disposable]]. Line 58 ⟶ 57: * [[Flanderization]]: Invoked in-game when {{spoiler\|<s>uyuuok</s> [[Big Eater\|Yuyuko]] is exposed to a Gluttony shard}}. * [[Genre Savvy]]: Buront and <s>rEimny</s> Reimu are well acquainted with their respective genres. So the experience lives (admiration) * [[Genre Shift]]: A [[Bullet Hell]] [[Shmup~~\|SHMUP~~]] and [[MMORPG\|MMPORPG]] have [[Crossover\|merged]] into a traditional [[~~JRPG\|~~jRPG]]. It's even key to the story, as the ''Touhou'' characters must approach problems differently. * [[Historical Domain Character]]: Buront and his speech come from the posts of a real life individual. His frequent praising of the Gluttony Sword and [[Hate Dumb\|hate of]] [[Ninja\|ninjas]] boosts their importance, to the point of turning them into plot elements. * [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard\|Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: <s>Oachuly</s> [[Squishy Wizard\|Patchouli]] and <s>[[Fun ~~With~~with Foreign Languages\|Imoka]]</s> [[Boisterous Bruiser\|Suika]] have attacks they can get caught in. [[Moe\|Cutely]]. * [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum]]: Subverted. It's Gensokyo, and given the [[Genre Shift\|RPG format]] even the familiar abilities are not [[Character Level\|immediately available]]. But as things escalate... * [[Just Ignore It]]: [[No Fourth Wall\|The characters' attitude]] to any obvious in-game flaws or plot holes. Line 82 ⟶ 81: * [[Running Gag]]: <s>Skwako</s> Suwako's [[Nightmare Fuel\|Zun Hats]]. Courtesy of a [[Shout-Out\|bizarre 4koma series]]. All Burontisms. Occasions when they [[Chekhov's Gun\|become relevant]] can [[Crowning Moment of Funny\|catch you off guard]]. [[Akira ~~(Manga)~~\|That's]] [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs\|Mr. Buront]] [[Akira ~~(Manga)~~\|to you, punk!]] * <s>Acyse</s> Alice trying to sneak past it. [[Megaton Punch\|Megaton Punch!]] Line 92 ⟶ 91: The monster sprites come from many different games. Buront's exploits as a [[Guilty Gear\|Sol player]] fending off against a shameless Ky player. ''[[G ~~Gundam\|G-~~Gundam]]'' [[Shonen\|Shounen mangas]] old and new. * [[Shown Their Work]]: Never mind the [[Canon\|overwhelming]] [[Fanon\|supply]] of [[Shout-Out\|material]] used to make a surprisngly [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything\|believable game]], it's hiro's ability to convincingly emulate the [[Lost in Translation\|speech patterns]] of the [[Loads and Loads of Characters\|vast cast]] that gives the dialogue-driven series its charm. I admire that it is a great job but there is nothing wrong with that. Line 104 ⟶ 103: "You should apologize immediately [[Bullying a Dragon\|otherwise]] you will quietly [[Deadly Euphemism\|close curtains in the seedy underworld]]" "A cheap LS is an LS that doesn't deserve to have a paladin in the party paladins shouldn't bother with cheap LSs either it lowers your personal rank {{quote\| Luxury HNMLS → equipment is perfect → heart swells so great personality → [[Insane Troll Logic\|gets a girlfriend]]<br /> Cheap LS → equipment is small fry → [[Beauty Equals Goodness\|heart narrows and shows on face]] → never heard from again" }} * [[Status Quo Is God]]: [[Invoked Trope\|Invokved]]. The cast is aware that solving the incident ultimately means {{spoiler\|dissolving any new bonds made as they [[Reset Button\|resume old roles]].}} Line 112 ⟶ 111: ** To make up for their lack of highlights, ''River-Equiped'' features a party with Letty, Meiling, and Sanae. * [[Theme Song]]: Shinku by Shimatani Hitomi. Used for the title screen. * [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs]]: In Japan our hero is so thoroughly referred to as ''[[Japanese Honorifics\|Buront-san]]'' that anything else prompts a reflexive ''[[~~Akira (Manga)\|~~Akira]]'' quote, [[Running Gag\|usually from Marisa]]. In other words, "That's ''Mr. Buront'' to you, punk!]]" * [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste]]: How a lot of the touching drama is diffused. ** Any time Burontism invades a serious moment. Which is always. Line 124 ⟶ 123: [[Category:Touhou the Iron of Yin and Yang]] [[Category:Fanfic]] [[Category:Web Video]] [[Category:Touhou/Fan Works]]
