I like to imagine that the spell card rules kept everyone safe and sound, and that the causalities from the previous 15+ games are approximately zero. However, sometimes you just can't help but get the feeling that the whole thing is just security theater and people do die. Like, a lot. But you never cared about them because they are random fairies and spirits and other weak youkai mooks. Until it's Makai residents. Somehow, they are more special. Hypocrite.Killing's just never a part of Touhou, but the fandom still love to put real death and destruction in their works. Also doesn't help that the official manga do contain actual extermination. I'm never sure what is the proper balance between sunshine and rainbows vs youkai murdering humans in Gensokyo.I thought about this Ciryes post that I saw a really long time ago and came up with this idea. Didn't actually look at it until the comic is finished so no copyright. A bit inspired by Re: Mystic Square . If you can't tell, Shinki's pose isn't the one in Mystic Square, it's Byakuren's Devil's Recitation. If u gonna steal my attac i steal yo pose bac. But seriously, my headcanon is that Shinki taught Byakuren some magic during her exile in Makai, hence "Devil's Recitation". owns Touhou made Walfas made Create.swf Extended made the bent arm made the awesome bamboo forest background
