Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Patchouli Knowledge’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Background Patchouli is a magician—or witch—over a hundred years old. According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, she belongs to the type of magician born naturally as one, rather than being a human who became a magician through training, like Alice Margatroid. She is described as fairly short, standing around the same height as Marisa Kirisame and Youmu Konpaku. She rarely leaves the Scarlet Devil Mansion's library because both sunlight damages her books and harms her hair. Despite possessing immense magical power, she has a frail constitution, suffering from asthma, anemia, and vitamin A deficiency. Her physical capabilities are below those of an average human. According to Wild and Horned Hermit, this is largely due to her frequent handling of toxic chemicals like arsenic and mercury. After the Scarlet Mist incident in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she became somewhat more active. She reportedly enjoyed Suika Ibuki's party at the Hakurei Shrine. In Silent Sinner in Blue, she mentions visiting the shrine to draw an omikuji fortune. She received a "future blessing" (末吉), though the result may have been rigged by Marisa. Reimu has noted that Patchouli tends to have bad luck.

Any mysterious visitor would be confused with a ghost of summertime. All of that equates to just a normal summer. The outskirts were enveloped in scarlet illusion. - 1 - In the eastern mountains, far from any human habitation, is where the isolated Hakurei Shrine lies. This mountain was never occupied by humans, and even now no one ever goes there. Thus the place was called Gensokyo. And even now, as usual, non-human creatures and just a few humans lived freely with pride. People blindly accepted the advance of culture, and aggressively tried to eliminate any of the darker parts of their lifestyles. In truth, that was a comfortable environment for the creatures living in the dusk. They did not have to get involved with humans. And one summer day, without a sound, a turbulent, mysterious mist began to envelop Gensokyo. It was almost as if Gensokyo itself was loathing the light of day. - 2 - The shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, Reimu Hakurei was living a mostly peaceful life. At this shrine, seldom visited by those come to pray, she was sometimes bored, sometimes not bored, and generally living in a carefree manner. On that day, Reimu was just a little less bored than usual. Reimu: "Geez, what is all this? If we're not getting any light, then the weather is not going to clear up at all." At the rate it was moving, the mist would reach past the shrine and descend to where humans lived. Gensokyo interfering with its peoples' lives would most likely cause Gensokyo to be eliminated by the hands of humans, too. Reimu: "Well, finding the cause of all this is a shrine maiden's job (isn't it?). For some reason, that lake back there is pretty suspicious, so let's go there!" With her body surrounded by the mysterious mist, The sharp-witted girl, relying on her senses, set off in the direction of the lake. - 3 - As one of the few residents of the forest, the normal girl Marisa Kirisame normally flew through the sky. When she realized that she couldn't see any of the lake all of a sudden due to the mist, the normal-witted girl thought that there might be something happening on the island floating in the lake. Marisa: "Well, humans usually create communities close to water, after all." Monsters wouldn't be able to live without water, either. That was her very human-like way of thinking. Marisa: "It looks like she'll be doing something pretty soon, so why don't I go take a look?" The girl set off as if there might just be something valuable to find. Or, rather, she actually went looking for it. - 4 - The lake was entirely covered by the mysterious mist. This mysterious energy was so strong that a normal human would only survive for about 30 minutes, but less ordinary humans too would have about thirty minutes. The center of the mist barely receives any light during the day, and filters out moonlight as well. From within the mist, a full moon looks hazy and several times larger. If we suppose the mist is the work of a human, one could say that the human must have eaten belladonna flower. In the very center of it all is an island, rejected by mankind simply because they could not live there. On that island is a mansion; one of few windows. Inside the mansion that knows neither day nor night, "she" was there. „ ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Prologue English Translation “ 東方紅魔郷　～ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. - 0 - 幻想郷は、予想以上に騒がしい日々をおくっていた。 　謎の来訪者に、夏の亡霊も戸惑ってるかの様に見えた。 そんな全てが普通な夏。 　辺境は紅色の幻想に包まれた。 - 1 - ここは東の国の人里離れた山の中。 　博麗（はくれい）神社は、そんな辺境にあった。 　この山は、元々は人間は棲んでいない、今も多くは決して足を踏み入 　れない場所で、人々には幻想郷と呼ばれていた。 　幻想郷は、今も相変わらず人間以外の生き物と、ほんの少しの人間が 　自由に闊歩していたのだった。 人々は文明開化に盲信した、人間は生活から闇の部分を積極的に排除 　しようとしていた。 　実はそれは、宵闇に棲む生き物にとっても、人間との干渉もなくお互 　いに気楽な環境だったのだった。 そして、ある夏の日、音も無く、不穏な妖霧が幻想郷を包み始めたの 　である。 　それは、まるで幻想郷が日の光を嫌っているように見えたのだった。 - 2 - 　博麗神社の巫女、博麗霊夢（はくれいれいむ）はおおよそ平穏な日々 　を送っていた。 　滅多に参拝客が訪れないこの神社は、退屈だったり退屈じゃなかった 　りして、楽しく暮らしているようである。 　そんな夏の日、霊夢は少しばかり退屈以外していた。 　　霊夢「もー、なんなのかしら、 　　　　　日が当たらないと天気が晴れないじゃない」 　このままでは、霧は神社を越え、人里に下りていってしまう。 　幻想郷が人々の生活に干渉してしまうことは、幻想郷も人の手によっ 　て排除されてしまうだろう。 　　霊夢「こうなったら、原因を突き止めるのが巫女の仕事（なのか？） 　　　　　なんとなく、あっちの裏の湖が怪しいから、出かけてみよう！」 あたりは一面の妖霧。 　勘の鋭い少女は、直感を頼りに湖の方向へ出発した。 - 3 - 数少ない森の住人である普通の少女、霧雨 魔理沙（きりさめまりさ）は、 　普通に空を飛んでいた。 　いつのまにか、霧で湖の全体が見渡せなくなっていたことに気づくと、 　勘の普通な少女は、湖に浮かぶ島に何かがあるのでは？と思ったのだった。 　　魔理沙「普通、人間だって水のあるところに集落を造るしな」 　化け物も水がないと生きてけないのだろうと、実に人間らしい考え方である。 　　魔理沙「そろそろ、あいつが動き出しそうだから、ちょっと見に行くか」 　少女は、何かめぼしい物が無いか探しに行くかのように出発した。 　むしろ探しに行ったのだった。 - 4 - 　湖は、一面妖霧に包まれていた。 　普通の人間は３０分はもつ程度の妖気だったが、普通じゃない人もやはり 　３０分程度はもつようだった。 　妖霧の中心地は、昼は常にぼんやり明るく、夜は月明かりでぼんやり明る 　かった。 　霧の中から見る満月はぼやけて数倍ににも膨れて見えるのだった。 　もしこの霧が人間の仕業だとすると、ベラドンナの花でもかじった人間で 　あることは容易に想像できる。 　中心地には島があり、そこには人気を嫌った、とてもじゃないけど人間の 　住めないようなところに、窓の少ない洋館が存在した。 　昼も夜も無い館に、「彼女」は、いた。 „ ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Prologue Japanese Extra stage In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Patchouli tries to block Reimu and Marisa's progress through the Scarlet Devil Mansion, though her anemia interferes with her ability to cast spells properly. Later, while Remilia Scarlet is away and Flandre escapes the basement, Patchouli conjures a rain spell around the mansion to keep her from leaving. When the player returns, she challenges them again, this time wielding stronger magic since she happens to be feeling better. Perfect Cherry Blossom English TranslationJapanese “ —Gensokyo Record— This is a remote place in an eastern country, far from any human habitation. In ancient times, this was a place of terror. Those who wandered too close would be eaten by youkai. People named this place Gensokyo and never dared to approach. Most people feared the youkai, but a brave warrior would occasionally rise to defeat them. Some of those brave humans settled in Gensokyo to keep close watch on the youkai. In those times, humans would fight with youkai every night. Stories like those were common in this mountain country, and many places like Gensokyo existed in those times. Over a thousand years have passed since then... Humans gradually built up a civilization. Humans don't fear the dark anymore. Since they grew to the point where they could produce light to make it seem like midday even at midnight. Because the humans blindly followed materialistic science, unscientific worlds - in other words, those with things like youkai and oni - were eventually excluded as superstition. Gensokyo was deemed useless to the human world as well, so priests sealed it away with the Great Barrier, which could never be opened again. Of course, both the youkai and the descendants of the brave humans who kept them in check were sealed away in the process as well... That marked the end of the history of humans and youkai. With the passing of time, those who still knew of Gensokyo died out... Though innumerable years have passed since its sealing, Gensokyo is still home to many youkai and just a few humans. The youkai of Gensokyo have built up their own culture; one that is all that like the culture of the world when Gensokyo was sealed. However, it was not a materialistic culture - it was a culture centered upon spiritual awareness far exceeding that of the human world. The wise youkai sought not the bounty of objects, but the bounty of the heart. For the youkais with such a civilization of magic, it is very easy for them to open the Great Barrier sealing Gensokyo. However, the youkai do not attempt to open it. On the contrary, they actually reinforced the barrier with an even stronger power. The barrier that had once locked Gensokyo away was now used in order to prevent invasion by the humans. Nonetheless, the main diet of youkai is, of course, humans. Natural products are especially popular. Food-gathering teams would go out at regular intervals to hunt humans. Of course, the youkai couldn't let the humans know about their presence. Under the guise of various accidents and incidents of people running away from home, the youkai hunted humans. A simple missing person would barely even make the news since there were too many people in the human world. Thus, the history of humans and youkai began anew. The world may be a land of youkai, but even now, lost humans sometimes end up there. They are said by the outside world to have been "spirited away". Most of the humans that end up in Gensokyo aren't able to return, but in the event that they are able to return to their original world, their spiriting away would only be met by a mountain of questions. Those people would unanimously say that the person was crazy, and would be believed by no one. They'd claim things like "I saw Togenkyo", or "I went to Houraisan". Those who visit Gensokyo seem to believe that it is a legendary paradise. At first glance, it looks like a utopia without anything unnatural, everything working in favor of the creatures living there. There is no doubt that, from the point of view of a person from the human world, this place was none other than paradise. Gensokyo is a paradise for many youkai and a few humans. It will remain a paradise until humans are destroyed, or it is discovered by humans. The following story is a record of the peaceful and fantastic everyday events that take place only in Gensokyo. P.S. So, why is Gensokyo a paradise for humans if they have to live with youkai? Well, that's because when everyone has enough power to defeat youkai in combat, and that's anything but boring! (Inscribed by the 13th shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine) „ ~ Perfecy Cherry Blossom Prologue English Translation -Gensokyo Record- “ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - 0 - As spring turns to summer, the land is coated in silver illusions. People relax and bask in the calm of a winter with no end in sight. However, none of that mattered to dogs or youkai, who are as energetic as ever. There have never been many humans in Gensokyo, but youkai of the winter were making plenty of noise. The time is ripe for snow to melt away, and for snow storms to be replaced with storms of cherry blossoms. Even Gensokyo changes with the seasons, but this year... ...It is now May, and spring has shown no sign of arriving. - 1 - Reimu Hakurei, the maiden of the Hakurei shrine who lives in Gensokyo, didn't like the cold. Reimu: "Ahh, it's cold." It's just that this time, her complaint was that it was already May. The snowfall and blizzards had been fierce for a week, with no sign of stopping. Reimu: "The cherry blossoms should have bloomed by now. Why is there so much snow this year?" She figured she could find out why without asking about it. More talking would have made her colder anyway, so instead, she headed out to go straight to the source of the problem. Reimu: "(Hmm, it seems to be coming from this direction, I guess?)" Being of old-fashioned construction, the shrine was easily penetrated by wind, and even some snow, so it was as cold inside as it was outside. As usual, she turned to her intuition for guidance and set off. - 2 - Marisa Kirisame, an ordinary magician, liked the cold sometimes and hated it other times, just like other ordinary humans. Marisa: "It's ordinary, but I don't hate spring." The Kirisame residence was always warmed by a magical heater. Or, even without it, the magical room were warm by themselves anyway. Marisa: "I can't visit the shrine during such a storm." She saw some light pink petals floating by in the snowstorm in front of her house. They were petals that came from a flower that only bloomed in the spring in this eastern country. Yes - they were petals from a cherry tree. Marisa: "Is this the only place that still feels like winter? May's already here, but you wouldn't know it from the cold." If she followed the wind, she should find cherry trees blooming. The snowstorms and high altitudes on a mountain should cause flowers to bloom slower, so why were cherry petals coming from that direction? She decided to follow the trail of cherry blossom petals to find the spring that wouldn't come. - 3 - Sakuya Izayoi, a maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, was sipping bitter coffee in a warm room. Sakuya: "We'll run out of charcoal and coffee beans soon." Indeed, humans couldn't survive this winter without anything to burn for heat. Sakuya: "I didn't expect winter to be so long. If we run out of supplies, the mistress will start complaining." No one does home deliveries this far. Residents of Gensokyo prepare food and fuel for an entire winter in advance. Roads were buried by the snow, rendering them completely useless. Thus, the preparing has become a tradition that hasn't been changed in a very long time. Sakuya: "I should put an end this winter before fuel run out. My lady, I'll be away until spring comes." The mistress confirmed that spring would come the very next day, so she happily bid Sakuya on her way. -4- Gensokyo was in the middle of a truly long-lasting winter. May had only seen the coming of even stronger snow storms. But in Gensokyo at this state, there was a place unknown to anybody that was filled with flowers in full bloom. Or literally, no "humans" knew about it. In Gensokyo, there are few "humans" to begin with. And spring has yet to come. „ ~ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom Prologue English Translation “ －幻想郷風土記－ ここは、東の国の人里離れた辺境の地である。 はるか昔この地は、迷い込んだら最後、妖怪たちに喰われてし 　　まう、と恐れられていたのだ。 　　人々はここを「幻想郷」と呼び、決して近づく事は無かった。 人々は妖怪に恐怖し、時には退治を行う勇敢な人間も現れたり 　　した。そうした勇敢な人間の中には、妖怪が人里に下りていか 　　ないよう見張る為、幻想郷に住み着くものも現れた。 　　この頃は、妖怪と人間の戦いが毎夜の様に行われていたのだ。 この様な話は、この山国には良くある話で、特に珍しい話では 　　ない。この様な場所もいたるところに存在した時代であった。 そういう時代が１０００年以上続いた... 　　次第に人間は文明を築きあげた。もう人間は暗闇を恐れない。 　　なぜなら、夜でさえ、昼のような明るさで周りを照らすことが 　　出来るようになっていたのだから。 　　人間は唯物科学を盲信しだし、非科学的な世界、つまり妖怪や 　　鬼などという世界は、迷信だと排除していったのだ。 　　幻想郷も、人間界に必要無いと判断され僧侶達が力を合わせ、 　　２度と解けない大結界を張られてしまった。もちろん、幻想郷 　　に住む多くの妖怪と勇敢な人間の末裔と共に... 　　そのとき、人間と妖怪の歴史は完全に終わったのだ。 　　しばらくたって、幻想郷を知る人間は居なくなった... 　　封印されてからどのくらい時間が経っただろうか、ここ幻想郷 　　は、あの時と変わらず多くの妖怪と、僅かばかりの人間が住ん 　　でいた。 　　幻想郷の妖怪達は、ここで独自の文明を築き上げていたのだ。 　　その文明は、見た目は閉じ込められた時代から余り変わってい 　　ない。しかし、それは唯物の文明ではない、人間界よりはるか 　　に優れた精神中心文明なのだ。賢い妖怪達は、物の豊かさより 　　心の豊かさを求めたからであろう。 　　このような魔法文明の妖怪にとって、幻想郷を封じた大結界は、 　　すでに解くことも自在になっていた。しかし、妖怪達は解こう 　　とはしない。それどころか、さらに強い力で大結界を張り直し 　　ていた。元々は幻想郷を封印するための結界を、今は人間の侵 　　入を防ぐために使用していたのだ。 　　とはいえ、妖怪の主な食料は人間である。特に天然物が人気だ。 　　そのため、食料班は定期的に人間を狩りに出ていた。もちろん 　　そのとき人間に妖怪の存在を気付かれてはいけない。妖怪達は、 　　色々な事故や家出に見せかけて、人間を狩っていた。その程度 　　の行方不明者はニュースにもならない、人間界の人間は増えす 　　ぎていたのだ。 　　こうして、人間と妖怪の新しい歴史は築かれていた。 　　そんな妖怪世界の幻想郷だが、今でも、たまに道に迷った人間 　　が紛れ込むこともある。 　　彼らは、外の世界では「神隠し」と呼ばれているようだ。 　　多くの人間は幻想郷から戻ることは出来ないが、運良く元の世 　　界に戻れると、彼らは神隠しのことを山のように質問されるに 　　違いない。 　　その彼らは口々にこう言い、頭がおかしくなったのだと、誰に 　　も信じてもらえないのだ。 　　　「桃源郷を見た」だとか「蓬莱山に行った」のだと。 　　ここを訪れた人間は、この地を伝説の楽園だと思うらしい。 　　一見、見た目は無何有郷でありつつ、全てがここに棲む生き物 　　のために機能した文明も兼ね添えていた。そう、ここは人間界 　　の人間から見て、紛れも無く楽園だったのだ。 　　幻想郷は、多くの妖怪たちと僅かばかりの人間の楽園であった。 　　この楽園は、人類が滅びるか人間に発見されるまで楽園のまま 　　なのだ。 　　これからの出来事は、全て幻想郷内だけで起きる平和で不思議 　　な日々の記録に過ぎない。 　　P.S. 　　幻想郷に住む人間にとって、妖怪と一緒で何で楽園かって？ 　　それは、皆妖怪に負けないくらいの力を身につけてるし、なん 　　てったって、退屈しないじゃないの。 　　　　　　　　　（博麗神社　第１３代巫女　記） „ ~ Perfecy Cherry Blossom Prologue Japanese －幻想郷風土記－ “ 東方妖々夢　～ Perfect Cherry Blossom. －０－ 暖かい季節は終わり、辺境は白銀の幻想に閉ざされた。人々は、いつ 　終わるとも分からない長い冬に、大人しくなった。 しかし、元気な犬と妖怪達には冬など関係なかったのだ。そう、ここ 　幻想郷は、もとより人間の数は少なかったこともあり、冬は冬の妖怪 　たちで騒がしかったのだ。 　次第に雪は溶け、白銀の吹雪も桜吹雪へと変化する頃になった。 　幻想郷も、例外なく暖かい季節になるはずだったのだ。 　そして５月、春はまだ来ない。 －１－ 　幻想郷にある博麗神社の巫女さん、博麗 霊夢（はくれい れいむ）は 　寒いのは苦手だった。 　　霊夢「あー、寒いわねー」　 　ただ、いつもと違うことは「今がもう５月である」という事だった。 　雪はいっそう激しく、この吹雪ももう一週間は続こうとしていた。　 　　霊夢「もう、いつもなら桜も咲こうという時期よねぇ。 　　　　　今年は何でこんなに大雪なの？」 　少女は、どうせ口に出さなくても分かるような理由だと思ったのだ。 　だから、しゃべると寒いので黙って原因を潰しにいくことにした。　 　　霊夢（ところで、原因の居る方はこっちでいいのかな？） 　神社は昔ながらの建物で風通しもよく、いや、吹きっさらしだったの 　で、家に居ても居なくても同じだったのである。少女はいつもどおり 　勘を頼りに出発したのだった。 　－２－ 　普通の魔法使いさん、霧雨 魔理沙（きりさめ まりさ）は、寒いのも 　普通の人間同様、それなりに嫌い、それなりに楽しんでいた。 　　魔理沙「ふつーだけどさ、春も嫌いじゃないんだけどな」 　霧雨邸は、魔暖房があったので暖かかった。そうでなくても魔法室は 　何かしら暖かいものなのだ。 　　魔理沙「こんなに吹雪じゃ、神社にも遊びにいけないぜ」 　少女は自分の家の前の吹雪に、薄桃色の花びらが雪に混じっているの 　を見た。ここ東の国の春にしか咲かない花の花弁。 　そう桜だったのだ。 　　魔理沙「もしかして、まだ、冬なのここら辺だけ？ 　　　　　　つーか、もう５月じゃん、寒いんで気付かなかったぜ」　 　風上に行けば桜が咲いている筈である。ただ、吹雪は山の上から吹き 　降ろされていた。山の上ほど開花が遅い筈なのに・・・。 　少女は、桜の花びらを辿って、まだ見ぬ春を目指して出発した。 －３－ 　紅魔館のメイドさん、十六夜 咲夜（いざよい さくや）は暖かい部屋 　で苦い珈琲を飲んでいた。 　　咲夜「そろそろ用意した豆炭と珈琲豆が切れるわね」 　さすがに、暖房燃料が切れたら人間はこの冬を越せないだろう。 　　咲夜「さすがにこんなに冬が続くとは思ってなかったからな、 　　　　　燃料切らしたら、またお嬢様がうるさいし。」 　ここまで配達にくるような人間はいない、幻想郷の住人は、燃料食料 　すべて一冬分まとめて用意するのである。それは、元から険しい道が 　大雪で完全になくなってしまうためであり、ずっと昔から変わること 　の無い習慣だったのだ。 　　咲夜「燃料尽きる前に、冬を終わらせればいいんだわ。 　　　　　お嬢様、春までお暇をいただきますよ」 　このときお嬢様は、あと一日もすれば春になることを確信した。だか 　ら、快く咲夜を送り出したのだ。 －４－ 幻想郷は本当に永い冬だった。 　５月を過ぎてから、一層吹雪も強くなったようだ。 そんな幻想郷にも、花が満開な場所が人知れず存在していた。 　文字通り、そのことを「人」は知らなかった。 　ここ幻想郷は、もとより「人」の数は少なかったのだ。 　そして春はまだ来ない。 „ ~ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom Prologue Japanese In one of Sakuya's endings in Perfect Cherry Blossom, Patchouli demonstrates to Remilia a clay model diorama of cherry blossoms that she has created.

The cherry blossoms that dyed that mountain in light purple have receded, and the land has been wrapped in a deep green... But humans, ghosts, and many others were still gathering for cherry blossom viewings, again and again. This cherry blossom viewing was not restricted to just the girls of Gensokyo. Every time a feast was held, an unknown, restless, strange aura in Gensokyo also increased in strength. ――However, even with the rise of this strange aura, nothing has happened yet. Nothing was known about the criminal's motive. Even their objective remained unknown. When this strange aura strengthens, not a single person tries to stop this recurring feast. As such, everyone who comes to the feast, be it humans or youkai, appears to be very suspicious. There's only three days left until the next feast.

Before departing, she places Sakuya Izayoi in charge of keeping an eye on things. As soon as she leaves, she encounters Alice Margatroid, who is also investigating, and defeats her. From there, she makes her way to the Netherworld. After beating Youmu Konpaku, she questions Yuyuko Saigyouji, though the ghost proves to have no answers either. Yuyuko does, however, suggest that Yukari Yakumo might know more. After a brief fight with Yukari at the Hakurei Shrine, Suika Ibuki finally reveals herself. Imperishable Night English TranslationJapanese “ -0- Summer is drawing to a close. Soon, chirping crickets will take over for buzzing cicadas. Gensokyo's hot nights are cooling down, making it a comfortable time for humans and youkai alike. Times are peaceful as usual. From a human perspective, leastwise. Touhou Eiyashou (Eternal Night Vignette) ~ Imperishable Night -1- There is an old mansion located at the edge of Gensokyo. Its appearance radiates the feeling of its history and a kind of atmosphere that rejects visitors. Items that look as though they might be from the outer world have somehow found their way into this house. Strange machines, books that make no sense, magazines. One such object, an iron box that was once a television, now serves the role of spiritual storage. "Spirits can live well in something that used to display human shapes," she'd say to her shikigami. This is the home of Yukari Yakumo, the youkai of boundaries. Ever since becoming aware of a slight abnormality in Gensokyo, she hasn't been able to sleep well, even during the day. The enemy was yet to be seen, but she was certain that it must have taken someone powerful to pull that off. She doesn't get out often, however, and it will be very bothersome for her to take an action alone. "Hey, I can rope her in and let her handle this problem." So she set out for the shrine, another building located at the edge of Gensokyo. There's a human that she knows there. It's a carefree person who always happens to be bored, so she'll gladly undertake the task of resolving whatever trouble there is. -2- It smells ominous. It is said that the forest eats humans. Humans usually maintain a safe distance from it.Its atmosphere constantly brims with an unearthly evil. The Forest of Magic, a place where all the evil in Gensokyo naturally gathers. Within that forest, small human figures are gathered into a small building. Human figures smaller than humans. The rainbow-colored puppeteer, Alice Margatroid, is reading books amidst a mountain of dolls. "How can humans possibly not be aware of this huge disaster?" "Dunno." If nothing is done, we won't be able to enjoy that. She isn't the type of person who gets out often, but no one else was interested in the problem, so she set out to investigate for herself. Or rather, she tried to. "I don't like this, they're used to this kind of thing, so they should do it." "Yeah, really." She knew nothing about the enemy and had no idea how to get started. In the end, she decided to visit a human who also lived in the forest, to let her take care of the issue. She brought a few books along...... Grimoires. Books that any human would find extremely rare and difficult to get ahold of. That person would never be able to refuse such an offer. -3- "Sakuya, where are you?" There is a European mansion located next to a lake; a scarlet mansion. A shrill voice was echoing all through its halls, as usual. Between a lake of glistening white and a forest of verdant green stood a mansion of unyielding scarlet. It should be an awkward sight, but strangely, it's very soothing. It is said that time stops flowing within this mansion, the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It's not a metaphor. Remilia Scarlet, a vampire, was looking for her personal maid. "Have you already done that as I asked?" "I beg your pardon, my Lady, but I couldn't get what actually you meant to..." Unfortunately, she was apparently unsuccessful at communicating with the human before her. "Fine! I'll do it myself, Sakuya, so you do daily stu... Well, whatever you want." Obviously, she had not been ordered to stay home. The maid has no choice but to attend her mistress as a protection charm. "You know that you won't be able to do anything after sunrise," she said in her heart. It's so peaceful and nothing in particular is happening, so she'll just go back home once the mistress gets tired, the maid thought lightly. Of course, that too was left unspoken. -4- No other place in Gensokyo can match the silence of this place. However, it isn't bleak. It has a peaceful atmosphere like a sleeping soul. There is no sign of any disturbance; nature's bounty and refreshing wind is the sole source of sound. This is the Netherworld, the land of the dead. There isn't a living human anywhere to be found. The ghosts there, however, enjoy a lively afterlife. "So, Lady Yuyuko's not aware of this?" The most vivid and largest place in this quiet world. The Hakugyokurou. Youmu Konpaku, a gardener, was pondering whether to tell her mistress about a most recent incident. At that moment, she found her lady heading toward her. Good timing. "Ah, Lady Yuyuko..." "Youmu, are you still ignoring that?" "Eh? ... What do you mean by 'that'?" "What, you're not even aware of it? That's why you're ragged about your dullness." She doesn't remember being ragged, but it seems that her lady was aware of the trouble as well. "So you were talking about the Moon? I am certainly aware of that. You only said that, and so suddenly..." "It looks like no one's taking action, so why don't you have a go, Youmu?" "Ehh, why so?" "Just kidding. You're too unreliable anyway. That human we saw the other day was better... well, I will do it then." "No way, please don't be such a meanie... I shall go too." "I really meant what I said about unreliability, though." Yuyuko Saigyouji, the ghostly mistress of the Saigyouji family, ragged Youmu. "Wait, do you have any idea where to go, my Lady?" "Of course, a lot of them. As we shoot stuff down, we'll eventually find a lead." "That's where you're wrong, Lady Yuyuko. You rely too much on raw power and have bad aim, so it takes even longer. You should concentrate your attack more, look..." "Your back is so undefended, Youmu." Yuyuko was really worried about Youmu going out alone, so she decided to take action by herself. Since the opponent is powerful enough to cause such a disaster, a team of two wouldn't be a bad idea. -5- It was peaceful. Or, it looked peaceful. However, all youkai were upset. What's really happening is that, without anyone taking notice, suddenly... The full moon has disappeared from Gensokyo's night. Even on the night of a supposed full moon, a bit of missing light prevents it from being full. It's no wonder that humans aren't aware of the situation, though; it's only the tiniest bit of difference. For non-humans, however, a moon that isn't full doesn't function at all. It's an especially critical problem for those who dislike sunlight. A human and youkai, a team of two, ventured out into Gensokyo's midnight hours to retrieve the missing fragment of the moon and restore the full moon. They will stop the night if need be, even if it becomes an imperishable night. —— As summer draws to a close, not much time remains before the harvest moon. The team of human and youkai stop the night. -E- A glowing, ancient, virgulate object. A pile of round objects in the sight. A small gem. A shining orb. A fragile soul. And the largest sphere. "How is she doing these days?" she wondered as she stared at these objects. Time does not flow in this place. History repeats itself. She, too, was in Gensokyo. „ ~ Imperishable Night Prologue English Translation “ －０－ 夏の終わり。それは蝉の鳴き声が鈴虫の鳴き音に変ろうとしていた頃の話。 ここ幻想郷の暑さも夜になるとすっかり退き、人間にとっても妖怪にとっても快適な季節だった。 いつも通り平和だった。 少なくとも、人間達にはそう見えていたのだ。 東方永夜抄　～ Imperishable Night. －１－ ここは、幻想郷の境に存在する古めかしい屋敷。その歴史を感じさせる佇まいは、如何なる者の来訪をも拒んでいる様だった。この家には何故か人間界の道具と思われるものが幾つか在る。用途のわからない機械、書いてある事がまるで理解できない本、雑誌。 外の世界では映像受信機だったと思われる鉄の箱も、只の霊気入れになっていた。 人の形が映っていた物には霊も宿りやすいのよと、彼女は自分の式神に教える。 境界の妖怪『八雲 紫（やくも ゆかり）』はここに居た。 彼女は、幻想郷の僅かな異変に気付き、昼も寝れない毎日を過ごしていた。 敵の姿は確認取れなかったが、『こんな』事が出来ると言う事はかなりの強力な者であると想像できた。しかし、普段余り出歩かない彼女にとって自分から動く事は、凄く面倒な事だったのだ。 　「そうだ、『あいつ』を唆して『あいつ』にやらせれば良いわ」 こうして紫は、同じく幻想郷の境に存在する神社を目指して出かけた。そこに一人の知り合いの人間がいる。 その人間は、いつでも呑気で退屈しているはずである。 どんな仕事でも必ず引き受けるに違いない。 －２－ 不吉な臭いがする。この森は人を喰うといわれる。人間は余り寄り付かない場所である。常に禍々しい妖気で溢れていた。 魔法の森、幻想郷の魔が自ずと集まった森。 その森に、小さな人の形を集めた小さな建物がある。 人間より一回りも小さい人の形。 七色の人形遣い『アリス・マーガトロイド』は、人形の山の中で読書をしていた。 　「何であいつら人間達はこの大異変に気がつかないのかしら」 　「ねぇ？」 このままではいつものアレが楽しめないじゃない。普段は余り出歩くことの無い彼女だったがみんな異変に無関心だった為、調査に乗り出てみる事にした。 いや、しようかと思った。 　「面倒だなぁ、こういうのに慣れている『あいつら』がやればいいのに」 　「ほんとほんと」 敵の見当もつかないし、どうすればよいのかわからない。思いあぐねて、同じくこの森に住む人間の処へ向う事にした。 手には数冊の本……。 人間が滅多に手にする事が無い本。グリモワールである。 これでその人間が動かない道理は無い。 －３－ 　「咲夜～、どこに居るの～？」 ここは湖のほとりにある洋館、紅い建物。今日もけたたましい声が響く。湖の白と森の緑、そこに建つ紅い洋館。どぎつい取り合わせのはずなのに不思議と落ち着いていた。 この館、紅魔館は時が止まると言う。比喩ではない。 吸血鬼『レミリア・スカーレット』は、自分のお抱えのメイドを探していた。 　「頼んでいたアレはやっておいた？」 　「と言われましても、申し訳ないのですが私には良く判らないもので……」 どうにも、目の前の人間には言葉が通じない。 　「もういいわ！私が行くから咲夜は家の事を… 　　まぁ、好きな様にやって」 留守番を命じていない事は明白だった。結局メイドはお守り役として付いて行かざるを得ない。日が昇ったら一人じゃ自由が効かない癖に、と思いつつ…… こんなに平和だし何か起きている様にも見えないし、ちょっと動いたら疲れて戻ってくるでしょう、とメイドは軽く思っていた。もちろん口には出せない。 －４－ 幻想郷でもここ程静かな場所も無いだろう。ただ、荒涼としているわけではない。何か魂が休まるような静かさなのだ。荒ぶる者の声も聞こえない、豊かな自然に爽やかな風の音だけが聞こえる。 冥府。死者の住まう処。 ここには生気のある人間は居ない。だが、亡霊達は亡霊のくせに生き生きと暮らしていた。 　「幽々子様は気が付いていないのかしら？」 静かな場所の中で一番華やかで広い所。白玉楼。 庭師『魂魄 妖夢（こんぱく ようむ）』はお嬢様に異変を伝えようか迷っていた。 その時、お嬢様がこっちに向ってきた。丁度いい。 　「あ、幽々子様……。」 　「妖夢。アレはまだそのままかしら？」 　「え？……アレ、とは何でしょう？」 　「あら、気が付いていないの？ 　　これだから庭師は鈍感だって、ぼろくそに言われるのよ」 ぼろくそに言われた記憶は無いが、どうやらお嬢様も異変に気が付いていたらしい。 　「もしかして『月』の事ですか？　気が付いてますってば～。 　　突然、アレって言われましても……」 　「誰も動かないみたいだし、妖夢、行ってみない？」 　「えー？何でですか」 　「嘘よ。妖夢じゃ頼りないしね。 　　何時ぞやの人間の方がまだマシだし……、私が行くわ」 　「そんな～、意地悪な事言わないで下さいよ～。私が行きますから～」 　「頼りないと言ったのは本当よ」 西行寺家の亡霊少女『西行寺 幽々子（さいぎょうじ ゆゆこ）』は、妖夢の事をぼろくそに言った。 　「って、お嬢様は目的地の当てがあるのですか？」 　「勿論沢山あるわ。まぁそんなのその辺飛んでいるの落とせばいつか当たるものよ。」 　「そんなだから駄目なのです。 　　幽々子様はいつだって、力に任せて狙いを定めないから時間が掛かるのです。 　　もっと、的を絞って攻撃するのですよ。こう……」 　「妖夢、後ろががら空きよ。」 幽々子は、本当に妖夢だけでは不安を感じていた。だから、自ら動く事にしたのだ。 この異変を起こせるだけの者相手なら、二人でも良いだろう。 －５－ 平和だった。 平和そうに見えた。 だが、妖怪達は困っていたのだ。 そう異変とは、誰も気が付かない内にひっそりと、何時の間にか……、 幻想郷の夜から満月が無くなっていたのだった。 本来、満月になるはずの夜もほんの少しだけ月が欠けていて、完全な満月にならなかったのである。普通の人間が気がつかないのは無理も無い、月はほんのちょっとだけ欠けていたに過ぎなかったのだ。 それでも妖の者にとって、満月の無い月はまるで月の機能を果たして居なかったのである。 特に日の光が苦手な者にとっては死活問題であった。 人間と妖怪の二人は夜の幻想郷を翔け出した 勿論、月の欠片を探し出し、幻想郷の満月を取り返す為である。 見つけるまで夜を止めてでも 永遠の夜になったとしても ――夏の終わり、中秋の名月まであまり時間も無い頃。 　　人間と妖怪の二人は、夜を止める。 －Ｅ－ 光に輝く太古の棒状の物。 目の前に見える大量の丸い物。 小さな玉。光り輝く珠。消え入りそうな魂。そして最も大きな球。 彼女は今頃どうしているだろうか、丸い物を見て思う。 ここは、時間の止まった場所。そして繰り返す歴史。 彼女もまた、幻想郷にいた。 „ ~ Imperishable Night Prologue Japanese In the good ending for Sakuya and Remilia in Imperishable Night, Patchouli appears to explain how to construct a vehicle capable of traveling to the moon. Phantasmagoria of Flower View English TranslationJapanese “ —— Gensokyo has revived. Spring’s sunlight has dyed the white of winter, and Gensokyo has completely regained the colors of life. The colors that had slept during winter awoke, covering Gensokyo. The flowers and the fairies simultaneously became noisy. The season’s unusual beauty has caused a stir in all who live in Gensokyo. The girls quickly become aware of the strangeness. Cherry blossoms, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, Chinese bellflowers... It was only spring, yet flowers of every season had simultaneously started to bloom. Many humans and all of the fairies, accepting that as the present from nature, were in high spirits for a while. However, the most laid-back human in Gensokyo unusually got rattled. "I must resolve this straightforward incident. If not, it’s like saying to everyone that I’m shirking my duties!"

Shoot the Bullet Subterranean Animism English TranslationJapanese “ Snow falls on the Hakurei Shrine in winter. It had been destroyed by an earthquake before, but now it's back to normal. One day, something happened to surprise the Hakurei Shrine's shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei. That was the sudden appearance of a white pillar shooting into the air - a geyser - near the shrine grounds. Normally, when something unusual happens, she goes to find out what happened and quickly bring the matter to a close, but this made her happy as much as it surprised her. After all, the geyser would melt the snow and become a hot spring that would ease the fatigue of both humans and youkai from nearby. Marisa "... isn't it dangerous to get too close to a geyser?" Reimu　"It could attract visitors to the shrine, so who cares?" If a hot spring comes up then even villagers will come here, mark my words." Marisa "Yeah, for the hot spring." However, Reimu's hopeful observations were off the mark. The geyser spewed forth more than just water for a hot spring. One by one a series of grotesque characters appeared. Earth spirits - denizens of the deep underground. Confused, the two girls wondered what to do about the geyser, so they decided to build a hot spring. In fact, the earth spirits were quiet and kept to themselves. Most of them were simply ghosts who had finally been relieved of their ties to this world and allowed to pass on. In Gensokyo, where youkai and phantoms ran rampant as a matter of course, the appearance of a few earth spirits didn't seem like such a big deal. However, that decision by the shrine maiden bought the youkai's unhappiness. There was a secret behind the appearance of the earth spirits about which Reimu and Marisa didn't have the slightest inkling of knowledge. —— The Scarlet Devil Manor The magician that lived in the Scarlet Devil Manor, Patchouli Knowledge, sensed danger in the appearance of youkai and earth spirits from underground. In her readings, she'd learned that somewhere slept a power that was uncontrollable by the likes of the youkai from above ground. She also knew that youkai shouldn't easily be able to enter the city that lay in the depths. However, there was almost no-one she could consult with regarding this problem. Losing her temper with Reimu and company, she grudgingly decided to consult with the youkai who was said to have been in Gensokyo the longest. This old youkai, Yukari Yakumo, wanted the youkai to refrain from interfering in the affairs of the underground world. Yukari "The underground world has different arrangements, so we can't act too overtly." Pache　"Well, the humans aren't going to do anything. At this rate we'll lose our initiative; is that what you want?" Yukari "Hm, that's true... I suppose I have no choice, I can't let you all just do whatever you want again." Pache　"What do you mean, again... ? In any case, will you do something? You seem to know something about the underground." Yukari "No, I can't do anything. Only humans can go to the underground. Besides, this might be a trap to draw us in." Yukari promised only to send Reimu to investigate, with youkai staying behind to act in a support role. —— The sealed youkai awoke together with the violent geyser. The memories of the earth began to awaken, and Gensokyo would probably regress into an older period from its history. The youkai of the underground were cast into the depths because of their abominable powers. It couldn't be a fortuitous thing for humans or youkai if they were to appear again.

The Hakurei Shrine's crisis was averted without incident, and a sweltering summer has visited the shrine as usual. However, the shrine maiden has been afflicted with an unusual continuing drought. Even during sudden cloudbursts, almost no rain would fall on the shrine. But that's not all - rain continues unabated over the forest, and at the mansion that's usually hidden behind thick mists, snow falls out of season... It was an amazing incident of abnormal weather. Nobody had any idea what was behind the strange weather. But, it was obvious with a glance at the big picture ... The one plagued by incessant sun, the one under a deluge of constant rain, the one enveloped in deep mist ... Yes, their strange weather only continued around them, personally. But the real crisis would probably start once the strange weather patterns collided. That glimpse of the weather crisis' true nature signaled the start of the incident's resolution in a manner that resounded across the land. -- A great earthquake strong enough to reduce the shrine to ruins.

She decides to investigate personally after finding that neither Reimu nor Marisa seem aware of what is happening. She first checks on Sakuya, asking her to stay still and then move so Patchouli can observe how the weather shifts in response. After determining that fighting makes the changes easier to read, she announces she is going out. At the Hakurei Shrine, Patchouli confronts Reimu, who is suffering under constant sunny weather. Patchouli notes that the lack of clouds is telling in its simplicity and decides to take action when Reimu refuses to move. She next runs into Marisa during drizzling rain. Patchouli admits she instigated Reimu on purpose and decides to do the same with Marisa, finding that a clear change is occurring but that others seem unable to notice it by only observing their immediate surroundings. Patchouli observes that everyone's temperament is being gathered unnaturally. She encounters Iku Nagae, who warns that the scarlet clouds may grow to the point of causing an earthquake. Patchouli reveals the clouds are being artificially collected and reasons that finding and stopping the culprit should prevent the disaster. She follows the gathered temperament to the heavens and confronts Tenshi Hinanawi, whose lying temperament gives her away. Patchouli states her goal is to defeat whoever is gathering the mist, not to fight Tenshi herself. At the final stage, Patchouli finds Suika Ibuki in the heavens. Suika claims she has done nothing, but Patchouli notes she has no reason to be there otherwise. The two fight, and after defeating Suika, Patchouli returns to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Back home, Patchouli reads a book on earthquake omens, noting strange-colored clouds and the appearance of oarfish as signs. She wonders why people's temperaments are being drained and suspects someone must be behind it. When Sakuya informs her that a great earthquake destroyed the shrine while she was away, Patchouli dismisses it as coincidence but cannot shake the feeling that she may have had the wrong culprit. She ultimately orders Sakuya to have the shrine maiden investigate what lies above the clouds. Touhou Hisoutensoku In Touhou Hisōtensoku, Patchouli appears at the start of Hong Meiling's story mode. Meiling rushes in claiming an earthquake is occurring, leading to a fight between them. Though Patchouli loses the match, she manages to get Meiling to leave her alone afterward. She also appears in Hong Meiling's ending, where it was revealed Hong Meiling was dreaming. Patchouli is also available as a playable character, though she has no scenario of her own. Hopeless Masquerade Patchouli appears as a background cameo in Hopeless Masquerade on the Hakurei Shrine stage.

Were you cooling it or something?" "Nah, that's the card's own doing. This card has Cirno's magical powers contained within!" "Then the rumors might have been true." The rumor went that mysterious cards called Ability Cards were circulating about, and that these cards contained the magical powers of various humans and youkai. And, it was said that dealers of these cards were already lurking all over. "The fact that these cards are in our hands must mean the rumors are true." "Yeah. I suppose this is an incident... right?"

She expresses interest in the ability cards, with one of her abilities also being featured on an ability card. Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red In an article, Patchouli decides to organize a Setsubun festival at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, even though summer is already approaching. She explains that the word "Setsubun" originally means "the interval between seasons", so holding it at that time rather than during the traditional transition from winter to spring should not be an issue. However, since it is an Outside World holiday, Patchouli admits she is unclear on many of the details. Aya Shameimaru interviews her after the event. Patchouli says she is generally pleased with how it turned out, though she had to forbid the fairy maids from throwing beans around her library. The conversation also touches on oni and their inherent weaknesses. Silent Sinner in Blue Patchouli serves as the lead researcher and designer of the rocket that Remilia Scarlet, Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Sakuya Izayoi use to travel to the Moon. Unable to produce the necessary fuel herself, she enlists Reimu's help by having her contribute her powers. Patchouli stays behind during the journey, acting as the navigator while the rocket makes its way to the Moon. Strange and Bright Nature Deity Patchouli appears in a few chapters of the Scarlet Devil Mansion arc in Strange and Bright Nature Deity, where she shares meals with Sakuya and Remilia as the new year arrives. Oriental Sacred Place Patchouli also appears in chapter 15 of Oriental Sacred Place, searching through her library for research materials. She later leaves and heads to the Hakurei Shrine to retrieve some stolen books. The seal on the book in question had been unlocked, though no one knows who did it. Meanwhile, the Three Fairies of Light sneak into the library, take a few books, and bring them home—only to find they cannot read any of them. Foul Detective Satori As one of those involved in the scarlet mist incident, Patchouli was the first victim of Mizuchi Miyadeguchi, who left her in a coma. She initially believed Sakuya Izayoi had poisoned her. However, an investigation by Satori Komeiji and Rin Kaenbyō revealed that Mizuchi was responsible. Later, Patchouli managed to deduce what Satori was thinking using ordinary observational methods rather than any special ability. Whispered Oracle of Hakurei Shrine Reimu Hakurei writes a fortune slip concerning Patchouli as part of cleaning up after an incident.

Name Meaning

Her full name is Patchouli Knowledge (パチュリー・ノーレッジ). Her first name comes from patchouli, a plant in the Lamiaceae family, as well as the essential oil or perfume derived from it. Her surname, Knowledge, reflects her learned and scholarly nature, though few other characters have such literal surnames. The middle dot in her name follows the convention for foreign names, marking where one part ends and the next begins. In the data files for Hopeless Masquerade, her first name was romanized as "Pachouly".

Remilia Scarlet uses the nickname "Pache" (パチェ) for her in canon, though "Patchy" is more commonly used among English-speaking fans.

Appearance

General Description: Patchouli is a figure with purple hair and purple eyes. She wears pink pajama-like clothing and a night-cap with a gold crescent moon on it, which ZUN states is her daily wear.

Facial Features: She has purple hair and purple eyes. Multiple ribbons are tied to her hair and other parts of her clothing.

Clothing/Outfit:

• Primary Outfit: Pink pajama-like clothing and a night-cap with a gold crescent moon. Her dress in some appearances appears to have stripes of purple and violet, though ZUN has stated they are not stripes.
• Immaterial and Missing Power / Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Alternative Outfit: Mostly lavender clothing with her hair in a darker shade of violet.

Special Features: The presence of stripes on her dress is a point of disagreement between ZUN and other artists. ZUN's design draft did not have stripes, but they appeared in the final design. A comment from Alphes notes: "Everybody thinks Patchouli has stripes except ZUN-san."

Alternate Forms/Disguises: Her alternative outfit in Immaterial and Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is a color variation rather than a distinct alternate form.

Personality

• Build a rocket ship (Succeeded).

Relationships

Remilia Scarlet

Patchouli is an old friend of Remilia. In Perfect Cherry Blossom, they address each other informally as "Remi" (レミィ) and "Pache" (パチェ) respectively. The two have been depicted sharing tea and casual conversation together in Silent Sinner in Blue and Oriental Sacred Place, where Patchouli offhandedly comments that they are both creatures of the night.

As stated in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Patchouli's role at the Scarlet Devil Mansion is to both solve problems and cause them. She often volunteers her services when she sees Remilia in need.

Patchouli is unlikely to be formally employed by Remilia. Sakuya Izayoi refers to Patchouli as "the Mistress's magician friend" while speaking to Rinnosuke Morichika, rather than using any employee title. Other official materials similarly refer to her as Remilia's friend rather than a subordinate. Though she will help Remilia whenever Remilia needs it.

Koakuma

As a library assistant in the mansion, this means she helps tend to it while Patchouli reads the books there.

Sakuya Izayoi

Sakuya serves Patchouli due to the magician rarely leaving her library. While Patchouli's rank within the mansion is noticeably higher than Sakuya'. Sakuya attends to her both out of duty and personal care. In Silent Sinner in Blue, she takes a private moment to watch and smile at Patchouli, who remains blissfully unaware while researching a magical breakthrough.

Marisa Kirisame

Marisa is a thief who repeatedly steals books from the Scarlet Devil Mansion's library. Although Marisa claims she is only borrowing them, Patchouli responds in Oriental Sacred Place in a rather serious tone that she has no intention of lending Marisa any books. Though this is likely due to the fact that books have been showcase to potentially turn one into youkai.

Despite this animosity, Patchouli is one of three people who assist Marisa during the events of Subterranean Animism, suggesting some underlying affinity even if Patchouli has her own agenda for doing so.

Additionally, Marisa has copied Patchouli's regular danmaku attack and renamed it Love Sign "Non-directional Laser". This attack appears as Marisa's normal B-type bomb in Perfect Cherry Blossom and as a spell card in Imperishable Night and other games.

Codex Statistics

Grade: A

Tier: Low 10-B physically, Far Higher with Spiritual Power, Even Higher with Preparation

Cardinality: Finite

Dimensionality: 3-D

Power Source: Magic (Magician Youkais are youkai possessed by magic, such that one's body itself is powered by magic)

Attack Potency: Below Average Human level (Magicians use arsenic and mercury a lot when they use magic, which eats away at their body, which is why there are so many magicians with weak bodies. Patchouli's physical abilities are poorer than that of a human's), Far Higher with Spiritual Power (Noted how even Yumemi Okazaki's scientific magic truly pales in comparison with the real thing, which Yumemi noted to not make light of the power of her science as she could blow up the planet at any moment), Even Higher with Preparation (A properly prepared magician is noted to be able to take on any kind of youkai). Can ignore covnentional durability with Magic (Magic exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory, a theory with any model that merges electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces into a single force at high energies, unifying gravity with the electronuclear interaction, providing a more comprehensive theory of everything. Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion. The second layer of reality is spirit and magic, while the first layer is where all things within the laws of physics presides, putting attacks with magic outside of the conventional laws of physics)

Durability: Below Average Human level (Magicains bodies are only about as strong as that of an ordinary human, so running away from them is simple. Magician Youkais bodies are nearly the same as humans' so they are frail in comparison to other youkai), Far Higher with Spiritual Power (Her spiritual power defends her from the attacks of other youkai despite her physical strength), Even Higher with Preparation. Her Youkai Physiology makes her very difficult to kill (It's noted that one cannot defeat spirits or devilish powers without a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb. Physical attacks such as a whacking a sake bottle over the head are considered violent methods that wouldn't work on youkai, with it only being spiritual attacks that cause fatal wounds to youkai. When attempting to exterminate a youkai, one does not use weapons that cause physical damage, instead weapons with an "origin" are more preferable. In the world beyond (Gensokyo), physical form has no meaning for all non-human entities)

Striking Strength: Below Average Human Class

Lifting Strength: Below Average Human Class

Travel Speed: Regular Human on foot, Superhuman (Can keep up with other characters flight speeds, where they can reach across long distances due to being able to fly)

Attack Speed: Superhuman. Magic Attacks lack a defined speed (Magic exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory, a theory with any model that merges electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces into a single force at high energies, unifying gravity with the electronuclear interaction, providing a more comprehensive theory of everything. Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion)

Reaction Speed: Superhuman

Stamina: Superhuman (Constantly fought against multiple different opponents over the course ofthree days without showing any signs of truly tiring)

Range: Standard Melee. At least Tens of Meters with Abilities (Can create attacks that cover the entire screen in range)

Intelligence: Genius Intelligence (Magician Youkais are noted to be generally intelligent, studious people. Patchouli is noted to be the brains of the Scarlet Devil Mansion)

Standard YoukaiMagician Youkai

While Youkai are noted to be physically stronger than humans, Magician Youkais bodies are nearly the same as humans' so they are frail in comparison to other youkai, thus they only carry some of the standard Youkai abilities which are:

• Enhanced Senses (Unlike humans, youkai can see in the dark to the point that it's a way for them to spot a human)
• Extrasensory Perception (Youkai are able to see the human village that Keine made essentially invisible from history from humans)
• Longevity (Marisa notes that youkai live a really long time, beyond even human years. Youkais have longer lifespans than humans)
• Aura (Noted that Youkai possess an aura, along with an energy source called "Youkai Energy")
• Invisibility (Youkai are noted to be life-forms that are invisible to humans, appearing to them via fluctuations. Noted that all objects within Gensokyo were all hidden in the invisible gaps of the quantum world)
• Non-Standard Damage (Youkai's attacks are spiritual based whereas having standard durability against them does not help. When a youkai has injured someone, they need special recovery from youkai practitioners otherwise they cannot recover normally)
• Non-Standard Defenses (Reimu realized that only the Yin-Yang Orb was effective against non-human creatures, with it being noted that Reimu using her ofuda, her spirit power, and her martial arts all prove to be useless against her enemies, meaning Youkai cannot really be harmed by regular or standard weaponry. It's noted that one cannot defeat spirits or devilish powers without a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb. Physical attacks such as a whacking a sake bottle over the head are considered violent methods that wouldn't work on youkai, with it only being spiritual attacks that cause fatal wounds to youkai. When attempting to exterminate a youkai, one does not use weapons that cause physical damage, instead weapons with an "origin" are more preferable. In the world beyond (Gensokyo), physical form has no meaning for all non-human entities)
• Absorption
  • Information Absorption: It is noted by Reimu that youkai can be swallowed up by information which can turn them into an "omnipotent youkai" due to the impurity which is the information of living things which overwhelms a youkai's existence when it's swalloed up by that information.
• Acausality
  • For Their Physiology
    • Irregular Causality
    • Contradictive: As Non-Humans within Gensokyo as comprised mostly of spirit, they embody the second layer of reality which is spirit and magic, while the first layer is where all things within the laws of physics presides.
  • For their Magic
    • Irregular Causality
      • Unknown: A youkai's magical power exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory, a theory with any model that merges electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces into a single force at high energies, unifying gravity with the electronuclear interaction, providing a more comprehensive theory of everything. It's further explained that magic is a force that cannot be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, with Yumemi even proposing a "Non-Unified Magic World" theory. Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension.

Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion)

  • Probability Manipulation (Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension)

Gensokyo is a brane world dominated by particles with different properties, not following the standard physics of the real world)

Grimoires

• Description: Grimoires, or magic books, are not simply books but magical items with magic power sealed inside. Their contents are not merely directions on how to cast magic, but also the secret keys to the use of that magic itself. The letters written in these books are not the system used by humans, but are said to be divine-era hiragana, or perhaps the original Japanese writing system.
• Appearance: Grimoires appear as books, though their exact physical descriptions vary. The writing within them is indecipherable to those who lack the proper key, appearing as incomprehensible symbols rather than readable text. Many grimoires are ancient in origin, with some dating back to the divine era.
• Usage: In theory, anyone could cast a spell if they had the appropriate grimoire. However, without finding the key inside, it is said that one cannot even discern the words written within. One cannot find the key without possessing equal or greater skill than the person who wrote the grimoire. As such, many grimoires remain unreadable to all but their creators or those of exceptional magical talent.
• Function: A grimoire functions as both a spell repository and a lock. The magic is present within the book, but accessing it requires unlocking the secret key through sufficient magical skill. This mechanism prevents unskilled individuals from casting dangerous spells while allowing masters to access and use the magic contained within. Grimoires can also be written by skilled magicians, adding new magical knowledge to the world.
• Notable Traits: Beneath the Scarlet Devil Mansion lies a great library filled with veritable mountains of grimoires. This library contains many magic books that its mistress (Patchouli Knowledge) has written, as well as many that no one has been able to read. The library also holds a great many non-magical books, most of which are from the outside world. This collection represents one of the largest repositories of magical and mundane knowledge in Gensokyo.

	地獄の沙汰も金次第 タイプ：能力カード 弾貨を消費して死を無効化する四季映姫の能力 弾貨を３００以上持っていた場合、弾に当たっても 弾貨を全て消費して生き返るぞ。 金次第では、この世に戻ってこれるのだ。 そう、幻想郷で最も腐敗しているのは閻魔達だ！	Money Is The Best Lawyer In Hell Type: Passive Card Eiki Shiki's ability to nullify a death by spending your Bullet Money. If you get hit with 300 or more Bullet Money on hand, you can spend it all and come back to life! Depending on how much money you've got, you can return to the mortal realm. That's right! The most corrupt people in Gensokyo are the Yama!
	濡れた大蛇 タイプ：能力カード 魔方陣で敵弾の動きを止める牛崎潤美の能力 魔方陣に当たっている間、敵弾が止まり、 さらに動き出した後も弾速が遅くなっているぞ。 敵弾だって石化するんだねぇ。	Drenched Giant Snake Type: Passive Card Urumi Ushizaki's ability to stop bullets with your magic circle. Bullets stop in place upon touching the magic circle, and they're still slowed down after they start to move again. So even bullets can get turned to stone...
	守銭奴の教訓 タイプ：能力カード アイテムの回収範囲が広がる河城にとりの能力 特に弾貨を集めやすくなるのは魅力的。 河童は腕を伸ばすことが出来るので それを活用してかき集めているに違いない。	Miser's Advice Type: Passive Card Nitori Kawashiro's ability to expand your item collection radius. Being able to collect Bullet Money more easily is a particularly good selling point. Kappa can stretch their arms out, so this is clearly taking advantage of that fact to scoop up items.
	神山への供物 タイプ：能力カード 山に捧げられた物を全て回収する八坂神奈子の能力 アイテムの自動回収ラインが大幅に下がるぞ “山に捧げられた物は全て自分のものである！” ああ、何という自己中心的な響き！	Offerings to a Sacred Mountain Type: Passive Card Kanako Yasaka's ability to collect every last thing offered to the mountain.

	鬼傑組長の脅嚇 タイプ：能力カード 敵が追加でお金を出す様になる吉弔八千慧の能力 慇懃ながらも逆らう気力を奪う態度で 妖精達からなけなしのお金を奪う。 弾貨みたいな偽物の金には興味は無い。 人生で何が一番大切な物か、君なら判る筈だ。	Kiketsu Matriarch's Threat Type: Passive Card Yachie Kicchou's ability to make enemies produce extra Funds. Steal meager amounts of money from fairies with a demeanor that's polite, yet also steals one's will to resist. I'm not interested in fake cash like Bullet Money. What's the most important thing in one's life? You should know the answer.
	かぐや姫の隠し箱 タイプ：能力カード 弾貨の出現量が増える蓬莱山輝夜の能力 これで買い物が楽になる。 いやー、貧乏とはおさらばだ。偽物の金だけどな。 何でも買ってやるぜ。闇市場限定だけどな！ うーん、通販では使えないのか……。	Princess Kaguya's Secret Stash Type: Passive Card Kaguya Houraisan's ability to increase the amount of Bullet Money produced. This'll make shopping much easier. Heck yeah, no more bein' poor for me. I mean, it's fake money, but still. I can buy anything I want! I mean, only on the Black Market, but still! Hmmm... You sure I can't use this for mail-order stuff...?
	詐欺うさぎの足 タイプ：能力カード かすりの効果範囲が広くなる因幡てゐの能力 闇市場に必要な弾貨が出やすくなるぞ。 ウサギの足なんか気色悪いと思うでしょ？ 大丈夫、てゐ特製イミテーションです。その辺も詐欺。	Scam Rabbit's Foot Type: Passive Card Tewi Inaba's ability to increase your grazing range. You'll have an easier time getting the Bullet Money needed for a Black Market. You think rabbit's feet are creepy, don't you? No worries, this is Tewi's special-made imitation. That part's also a scam.
	小石ころ帽子 タイプ：能力カード 敵本体に当たらなくなる古明地こいしの能力 随分と地味な能力だし、さほど 役に立たないところが何とも彼女らしい。 もしかして誰も私のことに気が付いていない？ そっかー、それは都合が良いわ。	Pebble Hat Type: Passive Card Koishi Komeiji's ability to prevent you from crashing into enemies. It's a very modest ability, and not very useful at all, but that's exactly what makes it Koishi-esque. Is it just me, or is nobody noticing me? Huh, okay. That's convenient.
	弾幕の亡霊 タイプ：能力カード 敵弾にかする敵弾を消す事がある西行寺幽々子の能力 亡霊は死を怖れない。いや、怖れるわけがない グレイズとは死の恐怖を受け入れることである 死への恐怖が有り得ない亡霊にとって グレイズは何の脅威にもならないのだろう。	Danmaku Ghost Type: Passive Card Yuyuko Saigyouji's ability to sometimes erase enemy bullets via grazing. Ghosts do not fear death. Rather, they cannot fear death. Grazing means accepting the fear of death. For a ghost who couldn't possibly fear death, grazing should pose no threat at all.
	弱肉強食の理 タイプ：能力カード ショットが大きくなる驪駒早鬼の能力 パワーが低くても強くなれるので便利な能力 いくら頭を使おうが、策を練ろうが 圧倒的な力のもとでは誰もが降伏する。 結局、大切なのは攻撃力なんだよなぁ	Law of the Survival of the Fittest Type: Passive Card Saki Kurokoma's ability to make your shots bigger. A useful ability that helps make you stronger even if your Power is low. No matter how many smarts you have or schemes you devise, everyone surrenders in the face of overwhelming power. Attack power's what really matters in the end, y'know?
	はじける赤蛙 タイプ：能力カード ショットがたまに爆発するという洩矢諏訪子の能力 メインショットが雑魚キャラを巻き込むようになる カエルに爆竹入れて爆発させるとかよく有る話だけど 自然に爆発する訳がないって思っているよね。 実は、自然に爆発するんですよ。	Bursting Red Frog Type: Passive Card Suwako Moriya's ability to make your shot sometimes explode. Your main shot will sometimes catch small-fry in the blast. People often talk about exploding frogs with firecrackers back in the day. But you think they don't go around exploding on their own, don't you? As a matter of fact, they do explode naturally.
	頼りになる弟子狸 タイプ：能力カード ショットを３本増やす二ッ岩マミゾウの能力 マジで頼りになるぜ。 どんな命令でも聞くし、危険な場所にも行ってくれる。 いやぁ、持つべき物は有能な部下だよなー。 ＊パワハラです	Reliable Tanuki Apprentice Type: Passive Card Mamizou Futatsuiwa's ability to increase your main shots by 3. Dang, these guys really are reliable. They listen to any orders I give 'em, they march into dangerous places... Man, capable underlings really are somethin' you gotta have. (*This is power harassment)

For every three waves you clear, you get an extra life. An ability well-suited for the long, drawn-out battles. Shall we relax and smoke some tobacco?
	暴食のムカデ タイプ：能力カード 敵を攻撃すると自分も強くなる姫虫百々世の能力 敵を攻撃する度に徐々に攻撃力が強くなる。 後半ほど敵が硬くなるので中々便利かも知れない。 持久戦に持ち込んだら、ムカデの勝ちだ！	Gluttonous Centipede Type: Passive Card Momoyo Himemushi's ability to get stronger by attacking enemies. Your attack power gradually increases each time you attack an enemy. Enemies get bulkier in the lategame, so it may end up being fairly useful. If you bring a centipede to an endurance match, the centipede always wins!
	酔狂の伊吹瓢 タイプ：能力カード 酒の力で攻撃力が大幅に上がる萃香の能力 入手直後は攻撃力が大幅に上がるが、 敵を攻撃する度に効果が減っていってしまう。 時間がたつと酔いってのは醒めてしまうんだなぁ。 ま、それでも便利なカードだ。	Drunkenly Whimsical Ibuki Gourd Type: Passive Card Suika Ibuki's ability to drastically boost your attack power with the power of alcohol. Your attack power shoots up immediately after obtaining this card, but the effect is reduced with each enemy that you attack. Even if you get drunk, you sober up as time passes... Well, it's still a pretty useful card.
	商売上手な招き猫 タイプ：能力カード 闇市場の品揃えをよくする豪徳寺ミケの能力 闇市場に並ぶカードの数が増えるぞ 選択肢が多いことは良いことだ。 ま、いつも同じ物ばっか選んじゃうんだけどね。	Maneki-neko with Good Business Skills Type: Passive Card Mike Goutokuji's ability to improve product lineups during Black Markets. The variety of cards you can buy in the Black Market will increase! Having more choices is a good thing. I always end up buyin' the same things, though.
	山童的買い物術 タイプ：能力カード カードの購入時に少し安く買える山城たかねの能力 　 商売の鉄則は、安く仕入れて高く売る事だ しかし安物を買うことが重要なのでは無い 山童は、貴重品を安く仕入れる技術を持っているのだ	Yamawaro Shopping Technique Type: Passive Card Takane Yamashiro's ability to buy cards for slightly cheaper. The ironclad rule of commerce: buy cheap, sell high. But that doesn't mean you have to buy cheap products. Yamawaro have techniques that let them stock high-quality goods at low prices.
	命を焚く松明 タイプ：能力カード クールタイムが短くなるクラウンピースの能力 全ての使用カードのクールタイムが若干短くなるぞ。 焚き火を見るとリラックスするらしいですね。 でも彼女の持つ松明を見てはいけない。 とてもクールな気持ちではいられないでしょう。	Life-Burning Torch Type: Passive Card Clownpiece's ability to reduce your cooldown times. The cooldown time for every Active Card becomes a bit shorter! Watching a bonfire apparently makes you feel more relaxed. But you shouldn't look at the torch that she's carrying. It'll make it really hard to keep a cool head.
	抗いがたきジュリ扇 タイプ：能力カード 次のウェーブから難易度が最高になる依神女苑の能力 　 誰だよ、こんな疫病神を呼んだ奴。 こんなカード手に入れたらもう死ぬしかないじゃん。 絶対に彼女には近づかないようにしよ。 ＊ボスの難易度は変化しません	Irresistible Julie Fan Type: Passive Card Joon Yorigami's ability to maximize the difficulty level from the next wave onward. Who the heck invited this pestilence god?! If I get this card, dyin' is the only option I'll have left! I have got to avoid going anywhere near her. *Does not change the difficulty of bosses.
	純粋な自己肯定感 タイプ：能力カード ステージの最終局面まで飛ばす純狐の能力 ザコなんかと戦っても馬鹿馬鹿しいでしょ？ もうボスまで一気に進めてしまいましょう。 この私が負ける訳無いわ。 “圧倒的、自己肯定感！”	Pristine Self-Confidence Type: Passive Card Junko's ability to skip straight to the end portion of a stage.

When you clear a stage, if there's any cards in that stage that you haven't obtained yet, those cards will show up. Looks like there's still some folks clinging to their cards, huh...? Sitting on them isn't going to make them any more valuable, you know.

	画面の境界 タイプ：使用カード 自由に画面端を移動出来る八雲紫の能力 画面端で使用ボタンを押すと反対側にワープ出来る 多くの人間、妖怪達にとって “画面端って一体何だ？”と 話題性から興味を持つ人が多い人気のカードだ	Screen Border Type: Active Card Yukari Yakumo's ability to let you freely warp between screen edges. Press the card-use button on the edge of the screen, and you'll warp to the other edge. A card that's popular amongst many humans and youkai, because "what is a screen edge, anyway?" is a great topic for getting people's interest.
	打ち出の小槌 タイプ：使用カード 敵弾をお金に換える少名針妙丸の能力 勇敢な小人は巨大な鬼を相手に打ち勝った 鬼が落としていった“打ち出の小槌”は どんな願いも叶える事が出来る代物だった “敵弾がお金だったら良いのになぁ”	Miracle Mallet Type: Active Card Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's ability to change enemy bullets into Funds. A brave inchling vanquished a giant oni. The "Miracle Mallet" that the oni dropped in its wake was an object that could grant any wish imaginable. "Oh, if only the bullets were all money...!"
	忍耐の要石 タイプ：使用カード 敵弾を消す要石を出す比那名居天子の能力 かなりの量の敵弾を消すことが出来る頼りになる石 攻撃こそが最大の防御？ 耐久スペルカードの存在する弾幕の世界では 防御こそが最大の攻撃さ！ ＊今回は耐久スペルはないけどね	Keystone of Endurance Type: Active Card Tenshi Hinanawi's ability to summon a bullet-erasing keystone. A reliable stone that can erase a considerable number of bullets. "Offense is the greatest defense?"

	要石ミサイル タイプ：使用カード 要石を投げつける比那名居天子の能力 要石は敵弾を消しながら真っ直ぐ飛んでいくぞ。 攻撃力も高くて防御にもなる。 そう、要石とはそういうもんなのだ。	Keystone Missile Type: Active Card Tenshi Hinanawi's ability to throw a keystone.

Almost all danmaku is just background noise. Only a small fraction of the bullets are truly important. Place your hands together and focus, and you should see only the bullets that pose a threat to you. Simple, right?
	ヴァンパイアファング タイプ：使用カード 近距離に牙で攻撃するレミリアの能力 超攻撃力の接近攻撃を何度でも出来るカード スペルカード？　馬鹿馬鹿しいね そんなもん、一噛みで解決だよ。	Vampire Fang Type: Active Card Remilia Scarlet's ability to deal close-range damage with a fang.

	アイテムの季節 タイプ： 使用カード 使用するとリリーホワイトを呼び出す能力 彼女は小金持ちだ。 何故かお金と弾貨を大量に持っている！倒して奪え！ ただ、彼女も弾を撃ってくるから気を付けろ。 呼ばれる度に強くなっていくぞ！	Item Season Type: Active Card An ability card that summons Lily White when used.

When you're surrounded by danmaku and sense danger-- when you think "it's over!", "I'm finished!"-- what would you do? Why, yes. You'd use a Spirit Strike. That's exactly what you'd do. This card lets you fire off as many Spirit Strikes as you want.

You won't be hit by bullets as long as you're hidden by the fabric. Why? Because you're hiding, of course.

Main TechniqueSkill ListBoss FightsStandard Fighter Techniques

Manipulation of Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, Earth, Sun and Moon

Patchouli manipulates the five Chinese elements (Wu Xing), making her an "Eastern style Western magician"—an antithesis to Marisa Kirisame's "Western style Eastern magician". She also adds the sun and moon elements, ordering them according to the days of the week on the Japanese calendar. Due to this, she is known as the "one-week girl".

The element order follows the weekday sequence, placing the Wu Xing phases first and sun and moon last:

• Fire (Tuesday) represents change and movement. Fire assists earth and inhibits metal.
• Water (Wednesday) represents silence and purification. Water assists wood and inhibits fire.
• Wood (Thursday) represents life and awakening. Wood assists fire and inhibits earth.
• Metal (Friday) represents wealth and abundance. Metal assists water and inhibits wood.
• Earth (Saturday) represents foundation and immobility. Earth assists metal and inhibits water.
• Sun (Sunday) represents activity and offense.
• Moon (Monday) represents passivity and defense.

Elemental magic borrows power from spirits that exist in nature, allowing Patchouli to achieve great output from small input. Because Wu Xing elements interact with each other, she can combine them to multiply their power, though this risks weakening the overall effect without precise control. When confronting enemies who also use elemental magic, these interactions allow her to effectively use her own magic while inhibiting her opponent's.

Patchouli uses spell cards that combine multiple elements. She employs both compatible combinations like Earth & Metal Sign "Emerald Megalith" and intentionally poor compatibility combinations like Water & Fire Sign "Phlogistic Rain". Sun and moon, classically opposite to each other, are combined in Sun & Moon Sign "Royal Diamond Ring". In Shoot the Bullet, she devised experimental magic combining elements with poor compatibility to increase power or cover weaknesses. Among Wu Xing, only the wood & earth combination has not appeared.

Immaterial and Missing PowerScarlet Weather Rhapsody

Control Scheme

Immaterial and Missing Power can be played using either a keyboard or a gamepad.

For Player 1 using a keyboard, the default controls are:

• Arrow Keys — move the character
• Z — corresponds to A
• X — corresponds to B
• C — corresponds to C
• V — corresponds to D

Character movement is represented using a numpad layout: 7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

• 6 — forward (toward the opponent)
• 4 — backward (away from the opponent)
• 2 — down/crouch
• 8 — up/jump
• 7, 9, 1, 3 — diagonals (can be simulated by pressing the two corresponding direction keys simultaneously)

Special inputs are performed by quickly pressing a sequence of directions followed by a button. For example:

• 66 — forward dash
• 236B — down, down-forward, forward, then B (default X key)

The number 5 indicates no directional input.

For keyboards without a numpad, diagonals are produced by pressing two directional keys simultaneously. For example, Down + Right = 3 on the numpad layout.

Button notation in most game documentation uses A/B/C/D, though older sources (like readme.txt) may use P/K/S instead:

• P = A
• K = B
• S = C or D (context-dependent)

Movement

Forward Movement

Input: 6 The character is able to advance across the battlefield, allowing them to apply pressure, close distance, or reposition during combat.

Backward Movement

Input: 4 The character can retreat to create space, disengage from pressure, or reposition defensively.

Crouching

Input: 2 The character can lower their stance, granting access to low-profile actions and certain techniques while reducing their hit area against high attacks.

Standard Jump

Input: 7, 8, & 9 The character can leap into the air in multiple trajectories, enabling aerial attacks, evasive movement, and vertical repositioning.

Forward Dash

Input: 6 6 The character performs a rapid burst of forward movement. During this action, they briefly enter a grazing state, allowing them to pass through certain threats while advancing. Some characters will dash farther if 6 is held.

Backward Dash

Input: 4 4 The character quickly retreats with a burst of movement while entering a grazing state, providing both evasive mobility and defensive repositioning. Some characters will dash farther if 4 is held.

Super Jump

Input: 2 7, 2 8, & 2 9 The character executes a powerful leap that carries them higher and farther than a standard jump. This movement also applies grazing, making it effective for evasion and aerial control.

Air Dash

Input: 6 6 or 4 4 while in the air While airborne, the character can rapidly change their position midair. The number of air dashes available is limited until landing, with most characters performing 2 and Remilia being able to perform 3.

Basic Moves

Close Normal Attacks

Input: A / B All characters possess close-range melee attacks that change based on proximity to the opponent.

• A: A fast, light melee strike used primarily for pressure and combo initiation.
• B: A heavier melee attack with greater power or reach, often slower than A and commonly kick-based.

Far Normal Attacks

Input: fA / fB When performed at greater distance, A and B become projectile-based attacks instead of melee strikes.

• fA: A standard projectile used for zoning and space control.
• fB: A secondary projectile with different speed, trajectory, or behavior than fA.

Forward Normal Attacks

Input: 6A / 6B Enhanced melee attacks with increased reach and power compared to their neutral counterparts.

• 6A: A stronger forward-reaching strike.
• 6B: A heavier forward-reaching attack, often slower but more impactful.

Crouching Normal Attacks

Input: 2A / 2B Low-profile melee attacks that hit crouching opponents or strike low.

• 2A: A quick, low-hitting light attack.
• 2B: A stronger low-hitting attack with increased damage or reach.

Guard Crush Attacks

Input: 22A / 22B Melee attacks designed to break an opponent’s guard and create openings.

Dash Attacks

Input: 66A / 66B / 6DA / 6DB Attacks performed during a forward dash that extend range and grant grazing properties.

• Dash A/B: Forward-moving melee strikes that pass through certain projectiles.

Some characters possess multiple variants of these attacks.

Low Dash Attacks

Input: 66 2A / 66 2B / 6D2A / 6D2B Dash attacks that strike low while maintaining grazing properties.

Directional Projectile Variants

Input: 6fA / 6fB / 2fA / 2fB Modified projectile attacks with altered angles, trajectories, or behaviors. Availability and functionality vary by character.

Aerial Projectile Attacks

Input: 8fA / 8fB Mid-air versions of standard projectiles.

Directional Aerial Projectiles

Directional Aerial C-Type Variants

Input: 86C / 82C Specialized aerial C variants available to select characters.

Bomb

Input: 22C The character deploys a bomb that knocks back nearby opponents. Bombs have limited stock and are replenished through item collection.

Spell Card Declaration

Input: 236D The character declares a Spell Card, entering a powerful state. The declaration grants temporary invincibility, with a brief vulnerable window at the start.

Special Move System

In addition to standard attacks, each character possesses a unique set of Special Moves. These techniques are executed through specific directional input sequences combined with attack inputs. While the exact techniques differ by character, the underlying input structures are largely standardized across the roster.

The available Special Moves and their corresponding input sequences are documented within in-game character profiles and practice interfaces.

Standard Special Move Inputs

Most characters utilize the following core directional sequences for their Special Moves:

• 236A/B/C (🢃🢆🢂)
• 623A/B/C (🢂🢃🢆)
• 214A/B/C (🢃🢇🢀)
• 421A/B/C (🢀🢃🢇)

Each input may produce different results depending on whether A, B, or C is used.

Item Collection

When a character is struck, any active projectiles she has on the screen are converted into collectible items and are immediately claimed by the opposing fighter. These items fall into two categories:

Spirit Items — Small blue squares labeled with “霊” (Spirit). Collecting these increases the fighter’s spirit gauge and they are the most frequently obtained item.

Bomb Items — Large green squares marked with a “B”. Collecting one increases the fighter’s bomb stock, up to a maximum of two bombs at any time.

Additionally, whenever a character is knocked down, the opponent automatically receives multiple spirit items. Roughly every third knockdown also grants the opponent a bomb item.

Blocking

When an attack connects, a character can defend by holding a backward direction (1, 4, or 7). Successfully blocking greatly reduces incoming damage, often negating it entirely, though certain situations may apply penalties.

Melee attacks that are blocked under the correct conditions incur no penalty. However, some melee attacks require a specific blocking state—standing, crouching, or airborne—to be blocked properly. If such an attack is blocked in the wrong state, the block is considered incorrect. In these cases, the block effect appears red instead of blue, and the defending character suffers a loss to health and/or spirit.

Guard crush attacks (22A and 22B) follow special rules. If they are not blocked, they function as strong melee attacks. When blocking, 22A must be blocked while standing, and 22B must be blocked while crouching. Blocking either attack incorrectly results in the immediate loss of all spirit.

Projectiles that can be grazed cannot be blocked correctly. Blocking these projectiles causes minor health damage—sometimes limited to the red portion of the health bar—and also applies a spirit penalty.

In Story Mode, later bosses frequently use Spell Cards that feature unblockable projectiles. These attacks must be avoided through grazing or manual movement. Some Spell Cards include projectiles that cannot be blocked or grazed at all, requiring the character to fully move out of their path to avoid taking damage.

Spirit Power

Spirit Power (霊力) governs a character’s ability to fire projectiles, defend against attacks, execute special moves, and activate Spell Cards. The current amount is shown on the Spirit Gauge (霊力ゲージ) at the lower-left of the screen. Different actions consume different amounts of spirit. If no spirit is spent for a short period, the gauge will begin to recover automatically, with spirit items accelerating this regeneration.

When a character’s Spirit Power is fully depleted, the gauge turns red. While in this state, the character cannot use projectiles or special moves until the gauge has fully refilled. If spirit is exhausted as a result of an incorrect block, the character is also briefly stunned. During spirit depletion, sA and sB lose their enhanced properties and function the same as A and B. Spirit recovery continues normally, and spirit items still restore gauge value.

Blocking behavior also changes while spirit is drained. Melee attacks can only be blocked correctly; even when blocked properly, the character still takes health damage using a distinct block animation. If a melee attack is blocked incorrectly, it will connect as though no block was attempted. Projectiles may only be blocked while grounded; airborne blocking is ineffective, and the projectile will hit regardless.

Grazing

Grazing occurs when a character is dashing, super jumping, or performing specific actions that allow them to temporarily avoid damage. While grazing, projectiles pass through the character without dealing harm, and in some cases, the projectile is destroyed upon contact.

Certain high-level attacks, especially from endgame Story Mode bosses, feature Spell Cards with unblockable and ungrazeable projectiles. These attacks cannot be avoided by standard grazing, requiring the character to manually move out of the projectile’s path to prevent damage.

Spell Cards

Spell Cards are powerful, visually striking attacks that characters can use once they have accumulated enough Sign Power (符力), displayed near the Spirit Gauge. Each character can select two Spell Cards prior to a fight: one for the first (white) health bar, called the First Sign (壱符), and one for the second (red) health bar, called the Second Sign (弐符). Second Signs are typically enhanced versions of the First Sign, though some may be entirely unique.

Accumulating Sign Power is achieved by dealing or receiving damage, as well as collecting items. When a character declares a Spell Card (by pressing 22D), their background darkens, a seal appears beneath them, and a timer starts. If the timer reaches zero, the declaration ends, preventing further Sign Power accumulation for that round.

Activating a Spell Card is usually done with 236D, though some have an alternate 214D input. Certain Spell Cards may require an additional input to deal damage. There is a brief vulnerability window at the start of the animation; if the character is hit, the Spell Card is canceled, wasting one Sign Power. Once successfully activated, the character becomes briefly invincible. Using a Spell Card consumes both Sign Power and Spirit Power, though declarations may continue if Sign Power is depleted, except in specific cases like Marisa's Final Spark, which consumes all resources and ends the declaration after one use.

Spell Card images include corner symbols indicating their function: a circle for ranged, a sword for melee, and a crescent moon for special utility effects. The top right corner indicates whether the card is a First Sign or Second Sign.

Control Scheme

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody can be played using either a keyboard or a gamepad.

For Player 1 on keyboard, the default inputs are configured as follows:

• Arrow Keys — character movement
• Z — A button
• X — B button
• C — C button
• A — D button
• S — A+B input
• D — B+C input
• Q — Pause

Movement notation follows the standard numpad-style directional layout:

7 8 9 4 5 6 1 2 3

• 6 represents forward movement (toward the opponent)
• 4 represents backward movement (away from the opponent)
• 2 represents downward movement or crouching
• 8 represents upward movement or jumping
• 7, 9, 1, and 3 represent diagonal directions

Directional notation always assumes the character is positioned on the left side of the screen. As a result, “forward” and “backward” reverse depending on screen position, but the numerical notation remains consistent.

Diagonal directions can be produced on a keyboard by pressing two directional keys simultaneously. For example, pressing Up and Right at the same time corresponds to 9, while Down and Left corresponds to 1.

Special actions are executed by inputting rapid directional sequences followed by a button press. For example:

• 66 indicates a forward dash
• 236B indicates a down, down-forward, forward motion followed by the B button

The number 5 is occasionally used in notation to explicitly indicate a neutral state with no directional input.

For keyboards without a physical numpad, directional inputs are still represented using this system, with diagonals achieved through simultaneous key presses.

Most in-game documentation uses the A/B/C/D notation for button inputs. However, some older references may instead use P, K, and S:

• P corresponds to A
• K corresponds to B
• S may refer to either C or D, depending on context

Forward Movement

The character can move toward the opponent to close distance or apply pressure. Input: 6

Backward Movement

The character can move away from the opponent to create space or reposition defensively. Input: 4

Crouching

The character can lower their stance, enabling low-profile movement and access to crouching actions. Input: 2

Standard Jump

The character can jump backward, vertically, or forward, allowing aerial movement and attacks. Input: 7 (backward jump), 8 (neutral jump), 9 (forward jump)

Forward Dash

The character performs a rapid forward movement. During this action, the character enters a grazing state, allowing certain projectiles to pass through. Input: 66 Alternate Input: D + 6 Note: Holding the forward direction may cause some characters to dash farther.

Backward Dash

The character performs a rapid backward movement while entering a grazing state, providing evasive mobility. Input: 44 Alternate Input: D + 4 Note: Holding the backward direction may cause some characters to dash farther.

Super Jump

The character executes an enhanced jump that travels higher and farther than a standard jump while applying grazing. Input: 27, 28, or 29 Alternate Input: D + 7, D + 8, or D + 9

Air Dash

While airborne, the character can perform a rapid burst of movement forward or backward. The number of air dashes is limited before landing, with most characters able to perform two by default. Certain conditions, such as Wind weather, may increase this limit. Air dashes do not consume Spirit Power and cover a fixed distance. Air dashes and flight share the same usage limit. Using one reduces the remaining opportunities for the other before landing. For example, performing an air dash reduces the number of available flight actions, and vice versa. This shared limitation also applies under special conditions such as Wind weather. Input (airborne): 66 (forward), 44 (backward)

Flight

While airborne, the character can enter a sustained movement state that allows controlled flight. During flight, the character is considered to be grazing but consumes Spirit Power over time. Flight continues as long as the input is held or until Spirit Power is depleted. Input (airborne): D + direction

Common flight directions include:

• Forward Flight: 6 + D
• Backward Flight: 4 + D
• Upward Flight: 8 + D
• Downward Flight: 2 + D
• Diagonal Flight: 7/9/1/3 + D

While flying, the character can change direction mid-flight by switching directional inputs while continuing to hold D.

Basic Attacks

All characters possess a standard set of basic attacks. Certain attacks change properties depending on whether the input is tapped or held. A tapped A input is referred to as "A", while a held A input is referred to as "[A]".

Additionally, some attacks vary based on distance. Pressing A while very close to the opponent results in one version, while pressing A at a farther distance produces a different version (the exact distance varies by character). The close-range version is referred to as "A", while the farther version is referred to as "f.A".

Inputs

A

A fast melee attack.

f.A

A slightly slower melee attack with increased reach and power compared to A.

6A

A slower but significantly longer-reaching and more powerful melee attack.

2A

A fast, low-hitting melee attack that does not change based on distance.

3A

Functionally similar to 6A, but hits low instead of mid.

8A

An airborne-only melee attack that generally strikes upward.

6[A] / 3[A]

Guard Crush attacks. These are performed by holding the A button while using the respective directional input.

B

A light projectile attack.

6B

A variant of B that is aimed higher.

2B

A variant of B that is aimed lower.

C

A heavier projectile attack with different properties from B.

6C

A heavier projectile attack that is usually aimed straight forward.

2C

A heavier projectile attack that is usually aimed upward.

All of the above attacks also have aerial variants when performed while airborne.

Charged Projectiles

Most projectile attacks can be charged by holding the input button ([B] or [C]). Charged projectiles typically release additional bullets or enhanced effects. An audible sound cue plays when a charged projectile or a Guard Crush attack is successfully executed.

Dashing Attacks

These are attacks performed during a forward dash. They are generally dashing melee attacks that move the character forward farther than standard attacks. Depending on the character, these attacks may also apply grazing.

Attack properties, ranges, speeds, and behaviors can vary significantly between characters, and many general rules have character-specific exceptions.

Input: 66 + A / B / C

Special Moves

The character possesses a set of SpecialMoves distinct from standard attacks. These techniques are executed through specific directional input sequences combined with attack inputs. The exact effects and behavior of each technique depend on the character.

In some cases, the same technique may be executed through more than one input sequence. Likewise, input sequences that produce a technique for one character may not produce the same result for another character.

The following notation is used when listing Special Technique inputs: - “>” indicates sequential inputs. - “Hold” indicates the input is held rather than tapped. - “+” indicates inputs performed simultaneously.

The availability and behavior of these Special Techniques vary by character. This section reflects common input structures rather than guaranteed results.

Blocking

Standard
The character is able to guard against incoming attacks by holding a backward direction. Successful blocking greatly reduces or negates damage, though certain conditions may result in penalties.

Melee attacks can be blocked correctly, preventing penalties entirely. However, some melee attacks require the character to be in a specific state—standing, crouching, or airborne—to be blocked correctly. Blocking such an attack in an incorrect state results in a spirit penalty. Incorrect blocks are visually indicated by a red block effect and accompanied by an audible cue.

Guard Crush
Certain attacks function as Guard Crush techniques. When unblocked, these attacks behave as powerful melee strikes. When blocked, each Guard Crush attack has a required blocking state. Blocking a Guard Crush attack incorrectly results in the temporary loss of a spirit orb and leaves the character briefly vulnerable.

Projectile and Special Attack Interaction
Standard grazable projectiles cannot be blocked correctly. Blocking these attacks results in a spirit penalty. Special attacks and Spell Card techniques additionally inflict chip damage to the character’s health alongside spirit damage when blocked.

Border Escape

The character can perform a Border Escape to disengage while trapped in a guarding state. This action allows the character to reposition by escaping in a chosen direction, creating space or avoiding continued pressure.

Executing a Border Escape consumes one spirit orb as a cost for its use.

Spirit

Spirit is a resource required to fire projectiles and activate certain special techniques. Rather than a single continuous gauge, spirit is represented by multiple individual orbs that are consumed when these actions are performed.

When spirit is not actively used, depleted orbs gradually regenerate over time. However, if the character suffers a guard crush or performs a Border Escape, one spirit orb becomes temporarily disabled and cannot be used until it naturally recovers.

While spirit orbs are disabled, the character retains access to projectiles, special techniques, and flight, but with reduced capacity. As more orbs are rendered unusable, available offensive and mobility options become increasingly limited. In this weakened state, the character is also more susceptible to further guard crushes, as spirit penalties apply regardless of how many active orbs remain.

Grazing

Grazing is a defensive state that occurs during certain movement actions, such as rapid movement or aerial maneuvers. While grazing, incoming projectiles pass through the character without dealing damage.

In some cases, successfully grazing a projectile will also cause the projectile to be neutralized. Grazing is primarily used to bypass projectile pressure while maintaining mobility.

Spell Cards

Spell Cards are powerful, one-time-use abilities that can be activated during combat. Characters assemble a "deck" of 20 Cards, which gradually become available as the character deals or takes damage. Deck composition is customizable in the Player Profile, but must always contain exactly 20 Cards.

Activation is performed by pressing B and C simultaneously. Characters can switch between available Cards by pressing A and B simultaneously.

Cards are divided into three types:

• System Cards: Include bombs, weather changes, and other utility effects that can influence the flow of battle.
• Skill Cards: Enhance or modify a character's special attacks, providing alternate attacks or increased damage output.
• Spell Cards: High-damage attacks that automatically execute once activated, such as Marisa's Master Spark or Reimu's Fantasy Seal.

Some Spell Cards require multiple Cards in hand to activate, while others can be used with fewer. Availability is indicated by a glowing border around the Card's image.

Weaknesses

• Standard Youkai Weaknesses: Youkai's bodies being destroyed by spiritual attacks, have them take a while to recover. Youkai are more easily affected by belief than humans, and as a result spiritual damage can cause fatal wounds. Youkai are weak to spiritual attacks such as names or legends. Youkai and Ghost are weak to sunlight. Mental Attacks can be lethal to youkai, in some cases one can repel them with a single phrase. The human village acts as a lifeline for the Gensokyo Youkai, if the humans were to perish or if they stopped fearing the youkai, then they would cease to exist. Youkai are weak against psychological attacks.
• Magician Youaki Weaknesses: Magician Youkais bodies are nearly the same as humans' so they are frail in comparison to other youkai, magicains bodies are only about as strong as that of an ordinary human, so running away from them is simple. Magicians are weak to surprise attacks and are not good at close combat or lengthy conflicts. Magicians use arsenic and mercury a lot when they use magic, while they try to take precuations so they don't absorb any, it gets in little by little no matter what and it starts eating away at their body, which is why there are so many magicians with weak bodies.
• Unique Weaknesses: Patchouli is an asthmatic thus she can't exert herself too much or else it will become difficult to breathe. Patchouli can become so anemic that she can't even recite spells.

Note

• Any translations from en.tohouwiki.net are considered fine to use as they all fall under Project Translations, a fan translation team that have translation guuidelines and rulesets, along with moderators that directly overlook and proofread English translations to check for machine translations.
• Yumemi's statements can be taken with credibility, not only do the science from her world surpass the main one by 500 years where she notes the science of the main world is much more primitive then hers, but her world has already fully proven the existence of Grand Unified Theory and Yumemi herself notes that her theory was proven right by seeing magic.
• Despite Gensou Narratograph being directly noted to be an "unofficial Touhou tabletop RPG", ZUN has directly participated in the RPG and noted the way Reimu acts during his session is how canon Reimu would act, thus character actions done by him and mechanics are fine to use.
• Even if characters have not showcased using a bomb, they should all be able to use bombs, as bombs are realistically just spiritual attacks and to even be able to fight the non-human entities, requires a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb, meaning everyone that is non-human or is fighting non-humans is using spiritual energy.

Special Notes

• Many spell card images and descriptions along with translations are heavily helped by the Touhou Wiki.

Explanations

Canoncity of Touhou Project

The Touhou Project franchise canoncity mainly falls under any media worked on by ZUN are official and canon to the overall lineup.

There are various aspects constantly debated about within the canon:

PC-98

Media like PC-98, has been noted by ZUN to be ignored as one can ignore derivative works. He has also said that anything prior to Embodiment of Scarlet Devil can for the most part be ignored and one can think of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil as the starting from a clean slate and starting a new series, he's also referred to Highly Responsive to Prayers as a study product. With this in mind, one would assume that PC-98 is thus non-canon to the Windows continuity of games.

However, ZUN has also directly stated PC-98 games are the same world as the Windows Games, stating that any contradictions that exist from PC-98 can be ignored from the retcon in Windows Era. While one argues ZUN noting the works are derivative works to be ignored and Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil should be seen as the starting point, these statements are moreso telling a fan to not worry about having to play PC-98 games or learn more about their stories.

It's also been noted in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's おまけ.txt that the game chronologically is not too far from the previous title, which would be Mystic Square, the PC-98 title. ZUN has also directly brought back characters from PC-98 games, noting he wanted to bring back characters from before Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and notes any of the other older characters that don't appear have probably retired by now and are warmly watching over things from various places nowadays. When asked where Mima from PC-98 has gone, ZUN notes that he doesn't bring them back due to making things complicated and having potentially angry fans ask where she has been the entire time, he has also noted that there's not much use for characters like Genji as Reimu can fly now and also notes he is not dead. ZUN has also made mention to Genji probably living in the lake in the back of the shrine. In Touhou Sangetsusei ~ Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Reimu and Marisa were talking about glowing moss with Reimu saying it would be nice to transfer it to the pond in the back of the Hakurei Shrine and Marisa saying that she could make it grow there on the turtles' back, referencing Genji.

In Touhou 07 Perfect Cherry Blossom, when Alice meets Reimu, she tells her long time no see, noting that they've met before calling her "old friend". In Yuuka's mode in Touhou Project - Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Reimu directly references defeating Yuuka back in PC-98. If Yuuka defeats Marisa in the same game, she will note that Marisa has grown up quite a bit, when the last time she's seen her has been in PC-98.

Seeing as ZUN himself has directly said both PC-98 and Windows are in the same world and that characters directly acknowledged PC-98 events and reference characters from it, PC-98 is completely canon and any contradictions PC-98 have can be ignored.

Side Games Time Placements

Touhou 7.5 - Immaterial and Missing Power takes place between Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night.

Multiple Playable Routes

In the series, there are multiple playable character routes, including some where the characters fight Reimu herself and defeat her, calling question into what route is canon. ZUN has elaborated that canonically, anytime Reimu and the gang are defeated, they challenge again however many times they want, but on the youkai side, they do not challenge again after being defeated and are not attached to the results of winning or losing.

In terms of how playable routes have went, some examples of canonically noted routes:

• In Reimu's profile on Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it's noted that Reimu resolved the Scarlet Devil Mansion Incident alone.
• Reimu is also acknowledged to have resolved the Spring Snow Incident in Perfect Cherry Blossom, though it is not noted if she did this alone.
• Reimu claims she solved the Eternal Night incident, however if one asks her about the cause or the perpetrator, she'll only respond with ambiguous answers, it is also not noted if she did this alone.

With some of these examples, it is normally assumed that in some way Reimu has some part in resolving every incident and other routes are dubiously canon depending on what transpired.

Spell Card Rules

There are many cases of weaker humans beating stronger Yokai or vice versa within the Touhou series, this has been elaborated on in Reimu's profile on Perfect Memento in Strict Sense. Reimu introduced the spell card rules as the youkai had no way to defeat the Hakurei shrine maiden, making many youkai feel that their meaning to exist have dissapeared. The rules incoporate the following:

• Spell cards are techniques specially-named by the individual, and they must be declared upon use.
• The number of each party's spell cards must be determined in advance of a duel.
• The first party to have all of their spell cards beaten must admit defeat.
• The victor is entitled only to what was agreed upon before the duel. If they're not interested in what their opponent has to offer, they can refuse a duel.
• Winners should generally allow losers a rematch.
• Always prepare for the unexpected.

The original draft held these rules:

• Combatants will give names and meanings to the duel for the benefit of beauty.
• Combatants will declare the number of named duels before beginning.
• Combatants may not repeat attacks by relying on stamina.
• Combatants may not deliver attacks that do not have meaning. The meaning itself becomes the attack's power.
• In the case that a combatant loses a named duel, that combatant will admit defeat, even if he or she has strength remaining. No combatant may kill a human, even upon victory.
• Combatants will write the duel's name on paper in the format of a contract. By doing so, the above-mentioned rules become absolute. These papers will be called spell cards.

These rules allows for duels that feel almost like sport rather then a match, and have allowed for weaker fighters to challenge stronger ones, due to this though, it also has become possible for youkai to freely defeat Reimu without worrying about the consequences.

Due to them being written into cards and essentially affecting the ability and power of an attack, the spell cards are likely the thing binding attacks to specific properties.

Parallel Worlds

Parallel Worlds is a topic brought up at some points in the Touhou Project franchise, they are worlds called "Probability Worlds" by Yumemi, stating that those and parallel worlds are one and the same. This essentially means that parallel worlds in Touhou are based on the concept of probability. Yumemi and Chiyuri use a "Probability Space Hypervessel" in order to travel to alternate worlds and time periods, further showcasing that probabiliy serves an importance.

Magical vs. Physical Strength

There are multiple occasions of characters commenting on humans like Reimu being strong. Despite this Reimu showcases physical strength that isn't superhuman, such as the fact that she cannot cut a bamboo stick while Fujiwara direclty does in front of her.

This is due to the difference between magical and physical strength.

In works like Symposium of Post-mysticism, Yuugi Hoshiguma's profile has Suika directly state that Yuugi is weaker then her in magical powers, but stronger than her physically, lining a clear difference between magical and physical strength.

While one can be physically stronger then another, such as how Onis are physically the strongest, magic users are still able to keep up with them due to using a different form of attack.

An example can be found with Yuugi herself, when Reimu fights against her in Subterranean Animism, with her acknolwedging her strength, something Yuugi only does to those who are truly strong. This establishes even with spellcard rules, Yuugi considers Reimu a strong fighter. Reimu herself is very clearly not at an oni's physical strength, as she cannot do the things they can, however, her magical strength allows her to keep up with them.

To defend against magical based properties requires Non-Standard Defenses as it is acknowledged as not being something of standard physicality.

The Three Layers of Reality

In Chapter 27 of Curiosities of Lotus Asia, Reimu proceeds to explain how reality works to Rinnosuke and Marisa, where she explains in-depth the three layers of reality.

This conversation started from discussing the mechanism of fortune, where Rinnosuke attempted to posit that the future is predetermined and that Reimu's luck was her being able to calculate in an instant the predetermined future, however Reimu had a different explanation requiring her to lecture on the mechanisms of probability, in her explanation, the world is made up of three layers: the physical layer that moves in accuracy with the laws of physics, the second layer that moves with the spirit, and the third layer of memory which is the recollection of events that lies within all things. The memory layer rejects the loop of the physical and mental layers, the two layers the youkai conceive of the world which is why they believe history repeats itself and the future is predetermined. Since it's only possible to add to the memory layer, it's possible to completely recreate the past.

While the physical layer follows the laws of physics, the mental layer interprets the outcomes and the memory layer alters the probability, essentially creating the future, since it's impossible for memories to raech the same state as a point in the past, the future is not predetermined, thus when Reimu is able to predict how the dice will fall, she's not predicting the fall of the dice, the dice members the fact that she predicted how the dice would fall, thus due to this, Reimu entering the memory of the die-face greatly skews the results in Reimu's favor, where the results side with Reimu.

Thus the memory layer is essentially the most important layer that rejects the notion of loops from the previous two layers.

Dream vs. Reality

In the Touhou Project series, it is made very apparent that dream and reality are in truth one and the same.

In Changeability of Strange Dream, Maribel Hearn has a conversation with Renko Usami about how she is bringing objects out of her dreams, which Maribel posits that truth exists within subjectivity, if one can see the same sights over and over again then that's the kind of place it is as such dreams are nothing like the antonym of reality, where much longer ago people did not draw a distinction between dreams and reality, with Maribel reiterating that dreams and reality are the same.

In Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom it is shown that the Dream World is a separate plane, that in games like Antinomy of Common Flower are shown to have influence on reality.

In the Urban Legends in Limbo finale, Sumireko notes that she is able to travel between the human world and Gensokyo whenver she sleeps, where her dream self enters Gensokyo making her innately unable to be interacted with.

Trivia

• Patchouli frequently refers to the science and technology of the outside world as magic. This is not born of ignorance but rather reflects her personal beliefs, as she tells Marisa Kirisame in her Touhou Hisoutensoku victory quote that science and magic are fundamentally the same.

• In Immaterial and Missing Power, Patchouli refers to intruders or thieves such as Marisa Kirisame as "rats," while guards like Sakuya Izayoi and Hong Meiling are called "cats." She rates the effectiveness of a guard on a scale of 1 to 96, chosen because 96 is the highest number below 100 divisible by both 2 and 3. After defeating Sakuya, she gives her a rating of 24. Regarding Meiling, Patchouli compares that particular "cat" to a sieve in her victory quote.

• The crescent moon on Patchouli's hat may represent the crescent found in the Sanskrit syllable "Hum," part of the mantra "Om mani padme hum." In Buddhism, this symbol stands for knowledge and purity and is associated with the color white, which itself represents the combination of all seven colors.

• As of Double Spoiler, Patchouli has appeared in 9 of the 13 Windows-era games (counting Touhou Hisoutensoku as a standalone title). This makes her the third most frequently featured character in the Windows series, behind only Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame.

• In Touhou Hisoutensoku, one of Patchouli's alternate color palettes resembles the outfit of Hina Kagiyama.

• The books arranged in Patchouli's spell card Fire Water Wood Metal Earth Sign "Philosopher's Stone" are positioned in a manner similar to the Five Magic Stones.

• It is suggested in Immaterial and Missing Power that Patchouli occasionally drinks coffee while studying, unlike the other residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, who almost always drink tea.

• Unofficially, Patchouli's library has often been called "Voile" after its stage theme. However, an erratum for Eastern and Little Nature Deity corrected the name from "Voile, the Magic Library" (ヴワル図書館) to simply "a library inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion" (紅魔館内の図書館). As a result, the name "Voile" is not considered canon.

• Masahiro Shibata's manga series Sarai, published exclusively in Japan from 1997 to 2007, appears to have been a major inspiration for many characters from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. The series features superpowered maids battling youkai and monsters in a dystopian future.
  • Patchouli shares her name with a character from Sarai as well: Patchouli Seal.

The Unmoving Great Library, Patchouli Knowledge Species: Witch Residence: Scarlet Devil Mansion Ability: Handling magic (mainly elemental magic) A witch who has settled down in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Unlike the mistress of the house, she is not weak against sunlight; however, she does not go out much. She spends her days in a library where the sunlight cannot reach. This is so that the books won't be damaged, but the unhealthy atmosphere is bad for her health. She doesn't have a very proactive personality, but rather always walks her own path. However, she is always interested where knowledge is concerned and will proactively go and try to acquire it. She does everything by the book, but still makes a lot of mistakes. Although she is quite skillful, her complete lack of physical fighting ability can't be helped. She pretty much never attempts to directly punch or kick her opponent. She makes up for this with her knowledge of a great variety of powerful magic. She's more at ease using magic than trying to attack physically. Dividing the magic she uses according to the days of the week is a secret hobby of hers, but no one has realized this.

Great Unmoving Library Patchouli Knowledge Species: magician Ability: The ability to use magic. A magician living in Scarlet Devil Manor. She noticed a great number of earth spirits welling up from the geyser. On close inspection, these earth spirits looked just like phantoms, but they were actually vengeful spirits, a slightly different variety. Unlike phantoms, vengeful spirits bear grudges against the world. They were a threat to humans, youkai, and fairies alike. Although she wanted to take her time to look for a book on vengeful spirits, it would have been quite dangerous if no one were to check on the geyser. Frustrated, Patchouli went to consult Yukari. Yukari, who was also surprised by the state of affairs, devised a plan to get the humans to explore the underworld.

ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten plaque

Although it's a mystery why Reimu chose to break into the library first, she's a bookworm witch living in that library. I never thought about adding vertical stripes to her clothes, but in the majority of fanwork, her dress was in vertical striped patterns. I guess she had two sets of clothes, one for outdoor and one for home (lol) I feel like I didn't make her stance in EoSD very clear. Actually, she might've been the perpetrator who released the red mist that covered Gensokyo, as she's adept in many kinds of magic.

何で霊夢は最初に図書館に入ったのか判りませんが、図書館に棲み着いている本の虫の魔女です。当初、僕は服に縦縞の柄を入れたつもりではなかったのですが、二次創作では縦縞の服が主流になっています。多分、よそ行きと普段着で使い分けているんでしょう(笑) 紅魔郷にいおける彼女の立ち位置は、作品内で明確ではなかった気がしますが、実際に紅い霧で幻想郷を覆った実行犯は色んな魔法を得意とする彼女だったんでしょうね。

Misconceptions

Characters Have Flown Through Outerspace

One example of this is believed to be in Touhou 02's Stage 3 Scarlet Dream ~ Scarlet Dream where it displays stars and a space-like effect in the background, however this is actually the World of Fantasies, the world that lies between Makai and the human world, with Genji confirming this is definetely not outerspace as Reimu can breathe just fine there.

All Characters are Children

This is an argument that spawns from how small the characters look in different works, though this is moreso due to the "moe" artstyle Touhou tries to capture, in many of the manga characters look far older.

Majority of characters in the series are outright shown to drink alcohol on a daily basis, where one needs to be at least 20 years old under Japanese law to drink, where Japanese law requires no underaged characters to be shown drinking. This is even acknowledged in the series itself with a note saying alcohol is only for those over 20 years old. Thus if a character is ever seen drinking alcohol in the series, they are an adult.

The only direct non-adults in the series are Sumireko Usami, Chiyuri Kitashirakawa, and Hieda no Akyuu in her first appearance.

Youkai Control the world through both the mental and physical layer

This statement comes from a fan translation that says this in Curiosities of Lotus Asia.

While the statement seems clear cut, there is another translation used instead that makes more sense with the sentence.

It instead notes that most youkai concieve of the world through these two layers, which is why they believe the future is pre-determined and history repeats itself. This falls in line with the earlier disucssion of Rinnosuke claiming that he believes the future to be predetermined and Reimu needing to explain to him why that's not the case.
