Stage 1
1 Firefly Sign "Meteors on Earth" Wriggle Nightbug

All fireflies do is flicker repeatedly, but since they're continuously moving, they look like shooting stars waving back and forth down on Earth.

2 Firefly Sign "Comets on Earth" Wriggle Nightbug

You'll ruin your eyes if you study by a firefly's light. Actually, it's impossible to do so with all that synchronized blinking. Don't take folktales too seriously.

3 Lamp Sign "Firefly Phenomenon" Wriggle Nightbug

The luminous phenomenon of a firefly.

4 Lamp Sign "Firefly Phenomenon" Wriggle Nightbug

The luminous phenomenon of a firefly. The bullets' movement does look a little bug-like... but it's certainly not how fireflies move.

5 Lamp Sign "Firefly Phenomenon" Wriggle Nightbug

The luminous phenomenon of a firefly. If anything, it's more like a grasshopper's movement. Well, that's a bug too, so who cares.

6 Lamp Sign "Firefly Phenomenon" Wriggle Nightbug

The luminous phenomenon of a firefly. It's fun to hold onto click beetles. You can feel your finger popping on its own.

7 Wriggle Sign "Little Bug" Wriggle Nightbug

Little bugs. Yucky.

8 Wriggle Sign "Little Bug Storm" Wriggle Nightbug

Little bugs. The moment when larvae hatch from tons of eggs. One of the mysteries of life.

9 Wriggle Sign "Night Bug Storm" Wriggle Nightbug

If you graze the eggs to warm them up, they're sure to grow into better bugs! Wait, but bug eggs don't need any warmth.

10 Wriggle Sign "Nightbug Tornado" Wriggle Nightbug

If I had to compare this to something, it'd be when you lift up a fairly big stone and find it totally lined with ant eggs underneath. That sort of thing.

11 Hidden Bug "Endless Night Seclusion" Wriggle Nightbug

If the night lasts too long, some really nasty bugs will come swarming up too. In Wriggle's Last Spell, the bug tamer joins her bugs.

12 Hidden Bug "Endless Night Seclusion" Wriggle Nightbug

I think fireflies are seen as more special than other bugs, just because they glow. It's one of many techniques for deceiving humans.

13 Hidden Bug "Endless Night Seclusion" Wriggle Nightbug

Firefly larvae living in water are always, without exception, super gross. Don't let Wriggle deceive you.

Stage 2
14 Vocal Sign "Hooting in the Night" Mystia Lorelei

An owl's hooting, seemingly heard from nowhere. Owls have scary eyes.

15 Vocal Sign "Hooting in the Night" Mystia Lorelei

An owl's hooting, seemingly heard from nowhere. The main point is how you can't easily tell where the bullet trajectories are coming from.

16 Vocal Sign "Howl of the Horned Owl" Mystia Lorelei

A horned owl's hooting. I hear there isn't much taxonomic difference between owls and horned owls. In my opinion, horned owls are cooler.

17 Vocal Sign "Howl of the Horned Owl" Mystia Lorelei

A horned owl's hooting. The word for "horned owl" (木菟) is similar to the word for "raspberry" (木苺). All of a sudden, they seem cute.

18 Moth Sign "Hawk Moth's Wingbeats" Mystia Lorelei

The sight of a hawk moth, sprinkling its scales as it flies.

19 Moth Sign "Hawk Moth's Wingbeats" Mystia Lorelei

The sight of a hawk moth, sprinkling its scales as it flies. They're so intimidating. If there was a fighter craft styled after a hawk moth, it'd be great for night combat.

20 Toxin Sign "Poisonous Moth's Scales" Mystia Lorelei

Poisonous scales rush down toward the humans. The speckles on moth wings already have really venomous-looking colors, too. Exquisite.

21 Deadly Toxin "Poisonous Moth's Dance in the Dark" Mystia Lorelei

Are there moths whose scales are so poisonous that they can kill even humans? A poisonous youkai moth that feeds on gelsemium starting from its larval stage... Perhaps in Gensokyo.

22 Hawk Sign "Ill-Starred Dive" Mystia Lorelei

A hawk's assault. ...Pretty slow for a hawk, though.

23 Hawk Sign "Ill-Starred Dive" Mystia Lorelei

A hawk's assault. Even hawks will sometimes carry human babies away. They're copying youkai.

24 Hawk Sign "Ill-Starred Dive" Mystia Lorelei

A hawk's assault. Around one out of every thousand kidnapped babies will become tengu, too.

25 Hawk Sign "Ill-Starred Dive" Mystia Lorelei

"Night Hawk" means something... not very becoming. No, Mystia has nothing to do with that kind of thing.

26 Night-Blindness "Song of the Night Sparrow" Mystia Lorelei

Mystia's signature technique as a night sparrow.

27 Night-Blindness "Song of the Night Sparrow" Mystia Lorelei

Mystia's signature technique as a night sparrow. It's an old wives' tale that eating lamprey is good for night-blindness. It actually works, too, because they're so rich in vitamin A.

28 Night-Blindness "Song of the Night Sparrow" Mystia Lorelei

Mystia's signature technique as a night sparrow. But in the original folktales, it's facing a night sparrow during daytime that will give you night-blindness.

29 Night-Blindness "Song of the Night Sparrow" Mystia Lorelei

Mystia's signature technique as a Night Sparrow. By the way, I like sparrows. They're a bit salty --perhaps because of the entrails?-- so they go very well with sake. Bony, though.

30 Night Sparrow "Midnight Chorus Master" Mystia Lorelei

"Chorus master" is synonymous with "conductor." The punchline is that it's not actually Mystia's song, but a chorus of her familiars.

31 Night Sparrow "Midnight Chorus Master" Mystia Lorelei

If I'd written it as "Midnight Conductor," then it wouldn't have been fearsome at all. "Chorus Master" isn't that fearsome, either. The idea wasn't fearsome to begin with.

32 Night Sparrow "Midnight Chorus Master" Mystia Lorelei

Maybe night sparrows just aren't fearsome in general? Well, she's only a Stage 2 boss after all.

Stage 3
33 Spiritual Birth "First Pyramid" Keine Kamishirasawa

The world's oldest Pyramid Power.

34 Spiritual Birth "First Pyramid" Keine Kamishirasawa

The world's oldest Pyramid Power. The triangle symbolizes the gods of musuhi. A harmonious symmetry.

35 Spiritual Birth "First Pyramid" Keine Kamishirasawa

The world's oldest Pyramid Power. Or maybe it's a riceball.

36 Spiritual Birth "First Pyramid" Keine Kamishirasawa

Sometimes when I'm eating things like tuna mayonnaise rice balls I feel sick before I can finish it and have to stop. Really.

37 Origin Sign "Ephemerality 137" Keine Kamishirasawa

And even though his parents lived for hundreds of thousands of years, too. Humans truly are ephemeral, like the foam of a breaking wave.

38 Origin Sign "Ephemerality 137" Keine Kamishirasawa

Still, 137 years feels like an extremely long time. He must have only ever eaten healthy foods.

39 Origin Sign "Ephemerality 137" Keine Kamishirasawa

But Yukari and Remilia have been living far longer than that. Yuyuko? Well, she's been dying...

40 Ambition Sign "Buretsu Crisis" Keine Kamishirasawa

It really doesn't sound like a person's name. Was his true identity a secret?

41 Ambition Sign "Masakado Crisis" Keine Kamishirasawa

Sir Masakado, who has a lot of bizarre stories about him. Perhaps because of Katou? I want to be a man like Katou one day.

42 Ambition Sign "Yoshimitsu Crisis" Keine Kamishirasawa

Yoshimitsu-- that is to say, Ashikaga-san. The bullets start twisting a little bit here. Try to think positively.

43 Ambition Sign "General Headquarters Crisis" Keine Kamishirasawa

And so we come to the present day. It already feels like things have collapsed beyond repair. Good luck, Japan.

44 Land Sign "Three Sacred Treasures - Sword" Keine Kamishirasawa

One of the three divine artifacts. It's amazing because it's a relic from the era of mythology, but its function honestly isn't much different from a simple lawn mower.

45 Land Sign "Three Sacred Treasures - Orb" Keine Kamishirasawa

One of the three divine artifacts. There's something erotic about the curve of the magatama. Just what you'd expect from a divine artifact.

46 Land Sign "Three Sacred Treasures - Mirror" Keine Kamishirasawa

One of the three divine artifacts. They say mirrors were used for magic, but it's really more of a stage trick. Real magic is usually about the art of imitation... oh. I guess mirrors are magic after all, then? Sorry.

47 Land Scheme "Three Sacred Treasures - Country" Keine Kamishirasawa

Not one of the three divine artifacts. This is a secret omnidirectional danmaku technique. But for some reason it's really simple. (Ah!

48 Ending Sign "Phantasmal Emperor" Keine Kamishirasawa

A flood of divine light. This is the sort of majesty I wanna have.

49 Ending Sign "Phantasmal Emperor" Keine Kamishirasawa

A flood of divine light. I think I'll have to discover just what this slowly-moving light is made of. Just like Einstein.

50 Pseudo-History "The Legend of Gensokyo" Keine Kamishirasawa

There's no trace of Gensokyo in any history book. That's because it was such a pain to write about it, so nobody bothered.

51 Pseudo-History "The Legend of Gensokyo" Keine Kamishirasawa

There's no trace of Gensokyo in any history book. But, Keine has a good memory, so she remembers. She's smart. Very smart.

52 Future "Gods' Realm" Keine Kamishirasawa

Takamagahara was filled with light. There's so many lasers, it's practically blinding. It's hard to tell when their hit box is actually active.

53 Future "Gods' Realm" Keine Kamishirasawa

Why is "高天原" pronounced "Takamagahara"? Is the "天" the "ga"?? Or is it "maga"??

54 Future "Gods' Realm" Keine Kamishirasawa

This one can actually be really easy. Those high-shot-power characters kick this kind of card's ass.

Stage 4A
55 Dream Sign "Duplex Barrier" Reimu Hakurei

Barriers are created from willpower. The bullets themselves fly in straight lines. Don't be fooled.

56 Dream Sign "Duplex Barrier" Reimu Hakurei

The bullets fly in straight lines, but the barrier distorts their paths. If you mentally fill in the space between the two barriers, this can be an extremely easy card.

57 Dream Land "Great Duplex Barrier" Reimu Hakurei

Humans rely too much on what they see. With Reimu's barriers, your own common sense gets in the way. What an insensible shrine maiden.

58 Dream Land "Great Duplex Barrier" Reimu Hakurei

No matter how hard you run after Reimu, she just gets further away. Have you ever had an experience like this? That's the power of Duplex Barrier.

59 Spirit Sign "Fantasy Seal -Spread-" Reimu Hakurei

Supremely straightforward approach. There is nothing tricky about this.

60 Spirit Sign "Fantasy Seal -Spread-" Reimu Hakurei

Supremely straightforward approach. She shoots more bullets as time passes by, so it's easy to die by accident.

61 Scattered Spirit "Fantasy Seal -Worn-" Reimu Hakurei

Desolation comes after venting. Reimu's desolation comes repeatedly, what a troublemaker.

62 Scattered Spirit "Fantasy Seal -Worn-" Reimu Hakurei

Even worse, she mustn't be looking at her opponent. She's just shooting like she feels appropriate. It's like a child's fighting.

63 Dream Sign "Evil-Sealing Circle" Reimu Hakurei

A spell that seals the opponent using enchanted amulets.

64 Dream Sign "Evil-Sealing Circle" Reimu Hakurei

A spell that seals the opponent using enchanted amulets. If you die, getting your items will be a pain. Counterattack with your bombs. (That's no good, either.)

65 Divine Arts "Omnidirectional Demon-Binding Circle" Reimu Hakurei

It kind of looks like Reimu's caught in her own trap. Anyways, isn't this more of an instant death than sealing?

66 Divine Arts "Omnidirectional Dragon-Slaying Circle" Reimu Hakurei

You can't really watch how these amulets are moving while playing. Who the hell does she want to show the movement of these beautiful amulets to?

67 Spirit Sign "Fantasy Seal -Concentrate-" Reimu Hakurei

This is one of the spell cards that doesn't look a lot like when the player uses it. Watch out for the nasty amulets slowly falling toward you.

68 Spirit Sign "Fantasy Seal -Concentrate-" Reimu Hakurei

This is another spell card that doesn't look much like when the player uses it. The charms move as if they have minds of their own; it's like something from a dream.

69 Migrating Spirit "Fantasy Seal -Marred-" Reimu Hakurei

It looks like Reimu's having fun with this one, too. The charms are chasing after her enemy on their own.

70 Migrating Spirit "Fantasy Seal -Marred-" Reimu Hakurei

Well, they look like squids. (Sweats)

71 Boundary "Duplex Danmaku Barrier" Reimu Hakurei

A spell card that you can't dodge without using a barrier. It turns one's power against them.

72 Boundary "Duplex Danmaku Barrier" Reimu Hakurei

A spell card that you can't dodge without using a barrier. It absolutely can't be evaded if a barrier isn't there...

73 Great Barrier "Hakurei Danmaku Barrier" Reimu Hakurei

Compared to Yukari's original version, it only looks flashier but is less difficult. Well, she's only a human after all.

74 Great Barrier "Hakurei Danmaku Barrier" Reimu Hakurei

It's hardly possible to tell what's going on there. If you look closer, you'll notice that backgrounds are reversed between barrier, too.

75 Divine Spirit "Fantasy Seal -Blink-" Reimu Hakurei

Don't mind about which part of this spell is 瞬 (blink). She's only flying straight, but you're completely surrounded.

76 Divine Spirit "Fantasy Seal -Blink-" Reimu Hakurei

While it looks somewhat easy, you'll tend to have accidents. Combination of slow shots and fast shots are what I'd call 瞬 (blink).

77 Divine Spirit "Fantasy Seal -Blink-" Reimu Hakurei

The world as Reimu sees it is quite different from your perspective. It feels like the player has been sealed in the Reimu Dimension.

Stage 4B
78 Magic Sign "Milky Way" Marisa Kirisame

Magical milky way. The stardust is so colorful.

79 Magic Sign "Milky Way" Marisa Kirisame

Magical milky way. Orihime (Marisa) repels Hikoboshi with stardust. Go Hikoboshi.

80 Magic Space "Asteroid Belt" Marisa Kirisame

An asteroid belt that splits up two large stars. The stars Marisa shoots look like something out of a comic, though.

81 Magic Space "Asteroid Belt" Marisa Kirisame

An asteroid belt attack that puts Meteo to shame. Still, it looks so thin. It didn't even hit Voyager (of course).

82 Magic Sign "Stardust Reverie" Marisa Kirisame

A stardust reverie. An enclosed space.

83 Magic Sign "Stardust Reverie" Marisa Kirisame

A stardust reverie. This spell is very Marisa-ish. A garden of stars that changes its appearance like a kaleidoscope. It really sucks.

84 Black Magic "Event Horizon" Marisa Kirisame

Marisa's horizon. After a certain point, the player can't approach or recede at all.

85 Black Magic "Event Horizon" Marisa Kirisame

Marisa's horizon. A barrier done in Marisa's style. However, focusing too much on the border itself misses the point, according to Reimu.

86 Love Sign "Non-Directional Laser" Marisa Kirisame

A laser fired in all directions This attack is something we've seen somewhere before.

87 Love Sign "Non-Directional Laser" Marisa Kirisame

A laser fired in all directions. It's become quite colorful, but it's still an attack we've seen before.

88 Love Storm "Starlight Typhoon" Marisa Kirisame

An improved Non-Directional Laser. When she tried covering up its weakness (the short duration of the laser), it just ended up somewhere else.

89 Love Storm "Starlight Typhoon" Marisa Kirisame

An improved Non-Directional Laser. Even Marisa herself had no idea where she was going with this spell.

90 Love Sign "Master Spark" Marisa Kirisame

Freaking huge magical laser. It can be fired at an angle, too.

91 Love Sign "Master Spark" Marisa Kirisame

Freaking huge magical laser. The real danger is how it makes the screen shake with its incredibly strong energy.

92 Loving Heart "Double Spark" Marisa Kirisame

Freaking huge magical laser. Now she shoots off two. There'd be no escape if she'd just make it a little wider, eh?

93 Loving Heart "Double Spark" Marisa Kirisame

Freaking huge magical laser. Still, it's really terrible affection. Genocidal love.

94 Light Sign "Earthlight Ray" Marisa Kirisame

Earth's light. Looks like a search-light.

95 Light Sign "Earthlight Ray" Marisa Kirisame

Marisa ran through everything else, so she had to dig up this old spell. It looks like she's shooting at herself in this attack, so she sealed it away.

96 Light Blast "Shoot the Moon" Marisa Kirisame

Shoot the Moon! Oh wait, we'll be down before moon does.

97 Light Blast "Shoot the Moon" Marisa Kirisame

This "shoot the Moon" term is the best sarcasm in this game, in fact. Of course, Marisa isn't aware of that, though.

98 Magicannon "Final Spark" Marisa Kirisame

The last and the ultimate spark. Magical laser with Marisa's full power. She gets brisk instead.

99 Magicannon "Final Spark" Marisa Kirisame

The last and the ultimate spark. But, in my opinion, making it thinner and turning around faster makes it more useful.

100 Magicannon "Final Master Spark" Marisa Kirisame

Marisa's magicannon lecture. While shooting concentrate your mind, gently muttering the spell to the Mini-Hakkero. Aiming at someone you don't like, a magicannon of love will be unleashed!

Stage 5
101 Wave Sign "Red-Eyed Hypnosis (Mind Shaker)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

Unresistible, lunatic red eyes. Everything is an illusion. Don't be fooled by illusions.

102 Wave Sign "Red-Eyed Hypnosis (Mind Shaker)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

Irresistible, lunatic red eyes. As the illusion runs its course, objects traveling straight appear to go in different directions. However, this illusion won't hit you.

103 Illusion Wave "Red-Eyed Hypnosis (Mind Blowing)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

Rabbit's eyes are red because the minds of the humans who see them are receding at near-light speed. Or, because they're communists.

104 Illusion Wave "Red-Eyed Hypnosis (Mind Blowing)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

Given enough torture to one's mind, there'll be only the empty shell of a human left. The muscle being a person's capital? That's wrong, the mind's more of a capital.

105 Lunatic Sign "Hallucinogenic Tuning (Visionary Tuning)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

Matching the wavelengths for humans and youkai. Ah, the names in parentheses are how you're supposed to read the card names.

106 Lunatic Sign "Hallucinogenic Tuning (Visionary Tuning)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

Matching the wavelengths for humans and youkai. These illusions happen when the wavelengths don't match. That rabbit's good at making dissonances.

107 Lunatic Gaze "Lunatic Stare Tuning (Illusion Seeker)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

The dissonance won't actually hit you. It's just an illusion. Well, the real problem is you have to know that she can normalize the wavelengths.

108 Lunatic Gaze "Lunatic Stare Tuning (Illusion Seeker)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

By the way, Reisen's a moon rabbit. She looks quite short in her portraits, but that's because I positioned her lower so I could show her ears.

109 Loafing Sign "Life & Spirit Stopping (Idling Wave)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

A wavelength so long, normal people can't perceive it. Thus, the illusion appears as being stopped to them.

110 Loafing Sign "Life & Spirit Stopping (Idling Wave)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

A wavelength so long, normal people can't perceive it. So, the illusion appears to stop. Like an ECG goes, beeee~

111 Indolence "Life & Spirit Stopping (Mind Stopper)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

If one's wavelength is too short, it's defined as lunatic. Also one with longer length is called carefree. In my opinion, it's unfair that the latter is socially treated better.

112 Indolence "Life & Spirit Stopping (Mind Stopper)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

The person in the middle of this pattern is pretty carefree. She stops to take a break every once in a while, which lets the player get away.

113 Spread Sign "Moon of Truth (Invisible Full Moon)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

The true Moon is always a source of madness; when they go completely mad, normal people can't see anymore.

114 Spread Sign "Moon of Truth (Invisible Full Moon)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

The true Moon is always a source of madness; when they go completely mad, normal people can't see anymore. You can't even see the illusions anymore.

115 Spread Sign "Moon of Truth (Invisible Full Moon)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

The whole world goes invisible with the distortion of the thickness of a piece of paper. The true full moon is only invisible because it's lunatic. New moon?

116 Spread Sign "Moon of Truth (Invisible Full Moon)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

"Oh wait, if you don't even see illusions, that's just an attack in another dimension." Thus she occasionally tunes it back to normal in a flurry. Goofy.

117 Lunar Eyes "Lunar Rabbit's Remote Mesmerism (Tele-Mesmerism)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

Reinforcements from the Moon. It's no longer possible to recognize if they're the real ones or illusions.

118 Lunar Eyes "Lunar Rabbit's Remote Mesmerism (Tele-Mesmerism)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

In order to mesmerize people on Earth from the Moon, they need to stare at the Moon. Perhaps "moon-viewing" was how ancient Lunarians controlled humans on earth.

119 Lunar Eyes "Lunar Rabbit's Remote Mesmerism (Tele-Mesmerism)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

U-sa-gi-o-ishi. Reisen is actually delicious. ...Never mind. This song's more like a stalker, which chases Reisen around.

Stage 6A
120 Spacesphere "Earth in a Pot" Eirin Yagokoro

A small paradise. ...Actually, it's just a delusion.

121 Spacesphere "Earth in a Pot" Eirin Yagokoro

A small paradise. Obviously she's using this term in a very different way from its original purpose.

122 Spacesphere "Earth in a Pot" Eirin Yagokoro

A small paradise. It would have been very tough if these familiars could actually hit you.

123 Spacesphere "Earth in a Pot" Eirin Yagokoro

A small paradise. Not that hard? Well, that's just Eirin's kindness.

124 Awakened God "Memories of the Age of the Gods" Eirin Yagokoro

Lasers that resemble a genealogical tree.

125 Awakened God "Memories of the Age of the Gods" Eirin Yagokoro

Lasers that resemble a genealogical tree. Splits increase at drastic speed, reminding one of life.

126 God Sign "Genealogy of the Celestials" Eirin Yagokoro

Lasers that resemble a genealogical tree. However, with the extremely low birth rate nowadays, it never looks like that.

127 God Sign "Genealogy of the Celestials" Eirin Yagokoro

Lasers that resemble a genealogical tree. Seems like pyramid schemes are passé these days. Well, they're illegal, anyway.

128 Revival "Seimei Yūgi -Life Game-" Eirin Yagokoro

A game of life forms—that is, the Life Game. You might not understand this if you didn't study at a technical college. Also, it's not a board game.

129 Revival "Seimei Yūgi -Life Game-" Eirin Yagokoro

Life Game. With all this apothanasia and extinction. If you prolong your life, generation shift will not happen, causing a gap in the generation. It's not following the rules at all. She uses several medicines to obtain a very long lifespan.

130 Resurrection "Rising Game" Eirin Yagokoro

Medically improved version of the Life Game. If the prolonging of life and reduction of the birth rate goes too far, this is where we'll end up.

131 Resurrection "Rising Game" Eirin Yagokoro

Medically improved version of the Life Game. It has nothing to do with certain game developers.

132 Leading God "Omoikane's Device" Eirin Yagokoro

Intellect shows the way. Or rather, gets in the way.

133 Leading God "Omoikane's Device" Eirin Yagokoro

Intellect shows the way. I can't even dream of it being a sensible device.

134 Mind of God "Omoikane's Brain" Eirin Yagokoro

Intellect shows the way. Well, it might be intelligent. Old-school games have tons of enemies with their brains exposed. Easy prey.

135 Mind of God "Omoikane's Brain" Eirin Yagokoro

Exposing the brain is evidence of its lack of intelligence I guess. A talented person doesn't show off, you know.

136 Curse of the Heavens "Apollo 13" Eirin Yagokoro

13 is an unlucky number. Things like the space program should leave out these unlucky numbers.

137 Curse of the Heavens "Apollo 13" Eirin Yagokoro

13 is an unlucky number. Only Lunarians know the reason for its failure.

138 Curse of the Heavens "Apollo 13" Eirin Yagokoro

I was always curious, doesn't Apollo mean "Apollo"? Wasn't Apollo god of the Sun? Then, why don't they just go straight into the Sun?

139 Curse of the Heavens "Apollo 13" Eirin Yagokoro

The good old "Apollo Chocolate." Eating it from its top end is quite popular, but with its origin, it's more realistic to eat it from the bottom.

140 Esoterica "Astronomical Entombing" Eirin Yagokoro

Eirin tampers with space with no reason. Anyways, it's worth the enormous title.

141 Esoterica "Astronomical Entombing" Eirin Yagokoro

She says that Earth will be one large sealed chamber, but for me, the Moon is more like a sealed chamber. Emissaries from the Moon will either be burned in the stratosphere or lose their way.

142 Esoterica "Astronomical Entombing" Eirin Yagokoro

The fake Moon Eirin prepared is more lavish than the original. But it's a "Nostalgic Moon" according to Yuyuko... Was it sumptuous in the past too?

143 Esoterica "Astronomical Entombing" Eirin Yagokoro

Space is romantic, but that wheelchair man's space is too complicated. Only he can correct his logic now. If it's all his imagination, it's just way too good.

144 Forbidden Arcanum "Hourai Elixir" Eirin Yagokoro

The Hourai Elixir, which plays an important part in this story.

145 Forbidden Arcanum "Hourai Elixir" Eirin Yagokoro

The Hourai Elixir, which plays an important part in this story. My only concern is whether it's bitter or not.

146 Forbidden Arcanum "Hourai Elixir" Eirin Yagokoro

This "Hourai" means "It's found in Hourai" too, but it's more likely that Kaguya's using her own name on it. So "Kaguya Elixir" would work too.

147 Forbidden Arcanum "Hourai Elixir" Eirin Yagokoro

If the public found out Kaguya's ability to make an elixir of immortality, every person of power would go after her. She'd refuse all their offers, though. She's what I'd call the Anti-Cinderella.

Stage 6B
148 Medicine Sign "Large Galaxy in a Pot" Eirin Yagokoro

Even more exaggerated than Earth. It's still in a pot though.

149 Medicine Sign "Large Galaxy in a Pot" Eirin Yagokoro

That'd easily make a black hole. I wonder how long it'll take for us to build a black hole station.

150 Medicine Sign "Large Galaxy in a Pot" Eirin Yagokoro

It's a good taste to use stars to resemble rivers, naming it "Milky Way." The current Japanese language lacks tastes like that.

151 Medicine Sign "Large Galaxy in a Pot" Eirin Yagokoro

A pot that its top and bottom is connected, can contain infinite mass... The Klein Bottle. Its appearance is a bit disgusting, though.

152 Impossible Request "Dragon's Neck's Jewel -Five-Colored Shots-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented. Before seeking for jewels, was there a dragon to begin with?

153 Impossible Request "Dragon's Neck's Jewel -Five-Colored Shots-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible demands Kaguya presented. Each jewel contains stars, and it's said that if you collect 7 of them, it'll grant anything you wish.

154 Divine Treasure "Brilliant Dragon Bullet" Kaguya Houraisan

At last, Dragon's Necklace became an armament like this. Humans destroy anything invaluable in the war.

155 Divine Treasure "Brilliant Dragon Bullet" Kaguya Houraisan

The legends say that when the color of the dragon's eyes change to red, a tsunami will come. Even though I often say something of the sort, I'm curious if there are more dragons appearing than tsunamis at these times?

156 Impossible Request "Buddha's Stone Bowl -Indomitable Will-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented. This one's most somber, in my opinion...

157 Impossible Request "Buddha's Stone Bowl -Indomitable Will-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented, an unbreakable stone bowl. Was Kaguya trying to eat bibimbap or something with this?

158 Divine Treasure "Buddhist Diamond" Kaguya Houraisan

This has nothing to do with a foul Buddhist who likes wearing jewelry and makes jingling sound with it. Kaguya thought it's too somber, so she promoted it into a jewel.

159 Divine Treasure "Buddhist Diamond" Kaguya Houraisan

So, why did Kaguya want this type of thing at all? I can't help but think about it being related to bibimbap.

160 Impossible Request "Robe of Fire Rat -Patient Mind-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented. The robe itself isn't actually burning, though.

161 Impossible Request "Robe of Fire Rat -Patient Mind-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented. Did she want a fire-resistant suit that makes her capable of touching a phoenix, or something?

162 Divine Treasure "Salamander Shield" Kaguya Houraisan

If it's burning from the beginning, it surely wouldn't burn further... But a salamander is a lizard. Or an oven.

163 Divine Treasure "Salamander Shield" Kaguya Houraisan

Fire rats, salamanders, phoenixes... Their surroundings are burning, but I wonder if their insides are normal. At the very least, they'd need blood that doesn't boil... Eshide(abbr)

164 Impossible Request "Swallow's Cowrie Shell -Everlasting Life-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented. For me, this one appears to be most realistic and simple.

165 Impossible Request "Swallow's Cowrie Shell -Everlasting Life-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented. It's a type of luxury food rarely found in a swallows nest. Uncommon in kind of porcelain shells, it's edible and delicious.

166 Divine Treasure "Life Spring Infinity" Kaguya Houraisan

The Spring of Life that never depletes. Perhaps this is the most wanted treasure in Japan, not the Jewels of Hourai, as the birth rate is getting lower and lower.

167 Divine Treasure "Life Spring Infinity" Kaguya Houraisan

As low as fertility goes, there'll be even less video game players in the future. I want to make a game that isn't only for children, but something everyone can enjoy from their heart. Some day.

168 Impossible Request "Bullet Branch of Hourai -Rainbow Danmaku-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented...? Ms. Kaguya, there's something wrong with this.

169 Impossible Request "Bullet Branch of Hourai -Rainbow Danmaku-" Kaguya Houraisan

One of the impossible requests Kaguya presented...? Rumors say that there's a mountain called Hourai in the Eastern Ocean, and there's a tree that grows danmaku there. Hourai awaits, shooters!

170 Divine Treasure "Jeweled Branch of Hourai -Dreamlike Paradise-" Kaguya Houraisan

Only one real treasure Kaguya has, in her possession. These rainbow colored jewels can be turned into danmaku too. That sucks.

171 Divine Treasure "Jeweled Branch of Hourai -Dreamlike Paradise-" Kaguya Houraisan

It's quite hard for modern people to understand why this plain sphere's so wanted. This sphere's more valuable than silver or gold. I'm talking about the jeweled general in shogi, by the way.

172 "End of Imperishable Night -New Moon-" Kaguya Houraisan

Attempting to use the endless night against Kaguya, whose power is controlling eternity, was too dangerous.

173 "End of Imperishable Night -Crescent Moon-" Kaguya Houraisan

Attempting to use the endless night against Kaguya, whose power is controlling eternity, was too dangerous. Now, the player must pay for what she was up to.

174 "End of Imperishable Night -1st Quarter's Moon-" Kaguya Houraisan

From now on, Kaguya's night begins. By the way, why couldn't she find out who's guilty of the endless night right away?

175 "End of Imperishable Night -Matsuyoi-" Kaguya Houraisan

From now on, Kaguya's night begins. The clock goes at a tremendous speed. Ah, I forgot to tell this, "Time" and "Clock" are two completely different things.

176 "End of Imperishable Night -11 o'Clock-" Kaguya Houraisan

Kaguya's night has just started. This night will be a very short one.

177 "End of Imperishable Night -Half to Midnight-" Kaguya Houraisan

Kaguya's night has just started. She controls her own initiative completely.

178 "End of Imperishable Night -Midnight-" Kaguya Houraisan

Twelve o'clock, the time when a boy in between a good-boy and a bad-boy goes to bed. Or, the time when Spiritual Canister (Television) says "Ashitama!"

179 "End of Imperishable Night -Half Past Midnight-" Kaguya Houraisan

The difficulty differs greatly with a difference of 30 minutes. In fact it skips a whole 2 hours in a matter of 20 seconds. What a waste.

180 "End of Imperishable Night -1 o'Clock-" Kaguya Houraisan

The time when even trees and grasses are sleeping. I'd like to have some sleep.

181 "End of Imperishable Night -Half Past 1-" Kaguya Houraisan

The time when even trees and grasses are sleeping, but today's humans often aren't. So they're free to have some tricks for these sleeping trees and grasses.

182 "End of Imperishable Night -Dead of Night-" Kaguya Houraisan

The time when even trees and grasses are sleeping. When I was a child, I seriously feared ghosts and its kind. But if I happened to see ghosts from this game, I wouldn't have feared it in the slightest.

183 "End of Imperishable Night -Half Past 2-" Kaguya Houraisan

The time right after when the gate to the Netherworld has opened. So, what did Renko and Merry see, at all?

184 "End of Imperishable Night -3 o'Clock-" Kaguya Houraisan

Three in midnight. If you have work to do tomorrow, you should be sleeping by now.

185 "End of Imperishable Night -Half Past 3-" Kaguya Houraisan

Usually I go to bed around this time. This is the time limit that doesn't affect the work of the next day.

186 "End of Imperishable Night -4 o'Clock-" Kaguya Houraisan

Around 4AM, it's no longer night for some people. The definition of morning depends on the person, so the border is very loose.

187 "End of Imperishable Night -Half Past 4-" Kaguya Houraisan

At this time, the sky begins to brighten. If you see an old man running around in this time, he's undoubtedly a youkai.

188 "End of Imperishable Night -Morning Mist-" Kaguya Houraisan

Kaguya's night has ended in the blink of an eye, it's now morning. You're great, Kaguya.

189 "End of Imperishable Night -Dawn-" Kaguya Houraisan

Kaguya's night has ended in the blink of an eye, it's now morning. Of course, it wasn't enough for you players, was it?

190 "End of Imperishable Night -Morning Star-" Kaguya Houraisan

So Kaguya made this morning with her own power... Weren't you all supposed to be fighting for something else?

191 "End of Imperishable Night -Rising World-" Kaguya Houraisan

It looks like fun. These girls have power, so their playings are very big too. Well, every other inhabitant of Gensokyo was annoyed by this endless night, though.

Extra Stage
192 Past "Ancient History -Old History-" Keine Kamishirasawa

In fact there's only history in our world, but still leaving one's name on history's thought as something excellent. That's because history's always made-up, or so Keine said.

193 Reincarnation "Returning-Bridge Ichijo" Keine Kamishirasawa

Leaving returning-bridge aside, there're so many returning curtain-fires in the world. But all of them are incomplete for me. This is the perfect returning curtain-fire. Physiologically hard to evade.

194 Future "New History Of Phantasm -Next History-" Keine Kamishirasawa

The next history's the future. The ability to create history's the same as creating the future. People who always look to the future are actually walking backward to the past, or so Keine said.

195 Limiting Edict "Curse of Tsuki-no-Iwakasa" Fujiwara no Mokou

A murder incident that has disappeared from history. An unsolved murder case that's rapidly approaching the statute of limitations. If nobody knows about it, it's no longer a crime.

196 Immortal "Fire Bird -Flying Phoenix-" Fujiwara no Mokou

Ho-yoku Tensho~. I don't know how it's set up, but it looks strong. The Phoenix, Fenghuang, and Suzaku are often thought of as the same thing, but is it really so?

197 Fujiwara "Flaw of Forgiving Shrine" Fujiwara no Mokou

A certain powerful person was afraid of curses. Even though he built a temple and did lots of good deeds, curses showered down upon him like rain. But that couldn't be helped, because it was a virus.

198 Deathless "Xu Fu's Dimension" Fujiwara no Mokou

A messenger who felt bored en route and ended up settling down. The reason you see Xu Fu's legend everywhere is because he found the Hourai Elixir and became immortal.

199 Forgiveness "Honest Man's Death" Fujiwara no Mokou

Ah, honest men sure look stupid. But, you know, the reason you think they look stupid is because you have a liar's perspective. In fact, they're the ones who reap the most benefit. Even if they die.

200 Hollow Giant "Woo" Fujiwara no Mokou

Woo. A not-so-beautiful phoenix. It got run over by a car, and splat. This attack is something like putting her hand to the ground, and Touchah! (joking too much)

201 Everlasting "Phoenix's Tail" Fujiwara no Mokou

Phoenix's tail, mass-production model. It's relatively cheap. Lately, immortal society has found it's easier to prolong their lives with something inexpensive like this, rather than look for something as rare as the Hourai Elixir, so it's gotten popular.

202 Hourai "South Wind, Clear Sky -Fujiyama Volcano-" Fujiwara no Mokou

Mt. Fuji's in fact a volcano, that often erupts. I feel like if I got 80% of the way up Mt. Fuji, it'd erupt, so I won't climb it. I'm fine just looking at it from down here.

203 "Possessed by Phoenix" Fujiwara no Mokou

The grilled chicken, not the mahjong term. Please, my favorite chicken wings, please don't suddenly come back to life. Please don't possess me.

204 "Hourai Doll" Fujiwara no Mokou

I see, so it was you. You were that strange human. Well, then, you won't die. After all, you're immortal.

205 "Imperishable Shooting" Fujiwara no Mokou

The shooting doesn't stop, but there isn't any shooting in this attack. There's a reason I named it this, though (It's here!)

Last Word
206 "Unseasonal Butterfly Storm" Wriggle Nightbug

I think Wriggle's a bit slow in the head. It's a pity, since she has to face player characters in this title. Cirno might be better for her to play with.

207 "Blind Nightbird" Mystia Lorelei

Lorelei. I often misspell her name as "Lorarei." Ahh, Lora. It looks as though she has only 3 fingers from these pictures, but she actually has 5 fingers.

208 "Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun" Keine Kamishirasawa

Aah, your shape is too bright to be visible. So, why does she wear that weird skirt anyway? Same for her hat.

209 "Stare of the Hazy Phantom Moon (Lunatic Red Eyes)" Reisen Udongein Inaba

The space rabbit with many stupid nicknames. To vent her anger, she named her spellcards with weird captions. She likes these card names, though.

210 "Heaven Spider's Butterfly-Capturing Web" Eirin Yagokoro

Spider's web that reaches from the ground to the sky, not allowing anything to escape. It's impossible to avoid this. In addition, she monitors EIRIN.

211 "Tree-Ocean of Hourai" Kaguya Houraisan

The ocean of trees that is famous for its turning trap, making compasses inoperative. If you're thinking of going there after you're done with this game, think twice.

212 "Phoenix Rebirth" Fujiwara no Mokou

"妹" (little sister) and "紅" (scarlet) may remind you of someone else's name, but actually, it can mean "paint me red" as well. If it was any more red, though, it'd just be a fireball.

213 "Ancient Duper" Tewi Inaba

Natural born duper. She always gets paid back for her dupe, but she never learns. White ears and black hair... It's hard to tell if she's really a white rabbit.

214 "Total Purification" Keine Kamishirasawa

World reconstruction. It's really stupid for humans to say something like nature conservation. They're being conserved by nature after all, but they speak like if they're above nature...

215 "Fantasy Nature" Reimu Hakurei

A secret technique that is extreme in many ways. With Reimu's ability to float, she floats away from all sorts of things and cannot be attacked. If it wasn't just for play (with time limit), no one could beat her using any method.

216 "Blazing Star" Marisa Kirisame

Her ultimate charging attack where she turns herself into a comet. Plain straight, very her-ish. It's no longer a danmaku, but it's Marisa anyway, so no one really minds.

217 "Deflation World" Sakuya Izayoi

One of her secrets that compresses the flow of time. Compressed time allows the past and future to exist in the present at the same time. You have to deal with all of them, so it's quite a tough move.

218 "Matsuyoi-Reflecting Satellite Slash" Youmu Konpaku

Slash that borrows the power of the Moon. One slash can cover the whole garden of Saigyouji, which is very huge. Power of the Moon calls more power, making its width infinite.

219 "The Phantom of the Grand Guignol" Alice Margatroid

This doll is purely bizarre and really weird, so she seals it most of times. This doll can self-indulgently shed tears, its hair grows, and is capable of even more.

220 "Scarlet Destiny" Remilia Scarlet

High speed scarlet. Showing her power straightforwardly without any cheap tricks. In fact, she's more of the physical type than magic type, dominating everyone with her superior physical strength. Melee trumps Danmaku.

221 "Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana" Yuyuko Saigyouji

Yuyuko's ultimate move, her "death." It's really a shame that there's not many chances to reveal her ability. It doesn't look cool that the brat's killing anything and such.

222 "Profound Danmaku Barrier -Phantasm, Foam, and Shadow-" Yukari Yakumo

Danmaku Barrier is the kaleidoscope of everlasting STGs, The tip of Yukari's finger decides its life and death. How fleeting the lives of humans, and STGs, are.
