Background

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

Little is known about Remilia's life before she came to Gensokyo, though her name, appearance, mansion, and style of dress all suggest European origins. She has been described as having come from "the west." She has acted as the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion for roughly five hundred years. She likes to claim that she descends from one of history's most infamous vampires, Count Vlad Țepeș Dracul, though by her own admission this is entirely false. It remains unclear exactly how Remilia first arrived in Gensokyo. The Scarlet Devil Mansion itself, and presumably Remilia along with it, was present there at least as early as 1998. By the time she appeared, the Great Hakurei Barrier, which was erected in 1885, had already been in place for a considerable period. At that stage in Gensokyo's history, youkai had lost much of their strength because they could no longer freely prey on humans. Upon arriving, Remilia quickly gathered many followers and went on a destructive rampage. Eventually, more powerful youkai managed to stop her. They established a devil's contract: the youkai would provide her with humans to feed on, and in return she would refrain from attacking Gensokyo's human population. Many youkai found this agreement distasteful, which led to discussions with Reimu Hakurei about creating a standardized set of rules for combat. It is unclear whether Remilia took part in those talks. Those discussions eventually led to the creation of the spell card system. Almost immediately afterward, in 2003, another scheme of Remilia's triggered the first incident resolved using the new rules. In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Hieda no Akyuu never directly names Remilia as the vampire responsible for the so called "Vampire Incident," in which a vampire first arrived in Gensokyo and went on a rampage. Technically, this meant it was unconfirmed whether Remilia was the one involved. However, Akyuu notes that any mention of vampires in Gensokyo should be understood as referring to the Scarlet family, suggesting that readers were meant to assume Remilia was the vampire in question. Later, Strange Creators of Outer World 2 finally confirmed that Remilia was indeed the vampire from the Vampire Incident.

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 In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Remilia released a fog across Gensokyo to block out the sun so she could move about freely during daytime hours. After the heroines discovered her plan and put a stop to it, she was forced to rely on a parasol for shade whenever she wanted to go outside while the sun was up, as mentioned in Immaterial and Missing Power. Hieda no Akyuu offers a different interpretation, speculating that Remilia may have orchestrated the entire incident on purpose and deliberately lost. According to this theory, her real goal was to show Sakuya Izayoi, who was struggling to adjust to Gensokyo's environment, that humans could become friends. There is no solid evidence to confirm this idea, but nothing outright disproves it either. Regardless of her true intentions, Remilia handles her defeat remarkably well in every ending. The only hint of frustration she shows is when she jokingly teases Marisa Kirisame, saying the incident would have been cooler if the mist had remained. In Marisa's B ending, Sakuya hides Marisa in the library to keep Remilia from finding her. In Reimu's A ending, Remilia visits the Hakurei Shrine carrying her own parasol and does not seem bothered by having to use it. Reimu asks why she bothered with the mist in the first place, but before Remilia can answer, Reimu starts grappling with her. Immaterial and Missing Power English TranslationJapanese “ The long winter, the short but grand spring, has withdrawn from Gensokyo. 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. "I'll figure out what this strange aura is coming from and stop it before the next feast!" „ ~ Immaterial and Missing Power Prologue English Translation “ 長かった冬も、短いながら盛大だった春も、幻想郷から過ぎ去ろうとしていた。 あれほど山を薄紫色に染めていた桜はなりを潜め、既に深い緑に包まれていたが…… 人間、妖怪、その他諸々が集まるお花見だけは、未だ繰り返されていた。 そのお花見は、幻想郷の少女を集めるだけではとどまらなかった。 宴会を行う度に、幻想郷に得体の知れない不穏な妖気が高まっていたのだった。 ――だが、妖気は高まる一方だったが、まだ何も起きていない。 犯人は、動機は、全てが判らない。その目的すら判らなかった。 妖気が高まろうと、誰一人、繰り返される宴会を止めようとしない。 こうなると、宴会に来る人間、妖怪、全員が怪しく見えるのも仕方がないだろう。 次の宴会まであと３日しかない。 「次の宴会までには、必ず私がこの妖気の原因を突き止めてやる！」 „ ~ Immaterial and Missing Power Prologue Japanese In her story mode, Remilia leaves the Scarlet Devil Mansion after convincing Sakuya to let her handle matters on her own. She runs into Marisa Kirisame, defeats her, and declares that she intends to be the "star" of the upcoming feast. She then heads to the Hakurei Shrine, beats Reimu, and repeats her intentions. After that, she defeats both Youmu Konpaku and Yuyuko Saigyouji. She finally meets Yukari Yakumo and demands to know who is responsible for the feasts that have been taking place every night. Suika Ibuki eventually appears, and Remilia defeats her as well. In her ending, she tries to enjoy a full moon with Sakuya, and the two discuss what it means to have class. 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 Imperishable Night, Remilia heads out alongside Sakuya to track down those responsible for stealing the full moon from the night sky, since the fighting would take place during nighttime hours.

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody English TranslationJapanese “ Almost a year has passed since the shrine maiden went to the mountain. 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. Nobody knew why she was the only one to feel its effects, but it was enough to send the shrine maiden out to find the cause of the incident. „ ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Prologue English Translation “ 巫女が山に立ち入ってから一年近く経とうとしていた。 博麗神社の危機も免れ、何事もなくいつも通りの暑い夏が訪れている。 だが、巫女は日照り続きという異常気象に悩まされていた 何故か梅雨の間も、神社には殆ど雨が降らなかったのだ。 それだけではない、雨が降り続ける森、常に深い霧で見えない洋館、季節外れの雪……。 異常気象もここまで来るともう立派な異変であった。 異常気象の実情を把握している者は誰一人居なかった。 だが、巨視的に観察すれば誰の目にも明らかだったであろう。 常に周りが晴れ続ける者、霧雨が降り続ける者、深い霧に包まれている者……。 そう、気象現象は個人の周りだけで起こっていたのだ。 様々な気象現象がぶつかり合った時、本当の異常気象が始まる事になるであろう。 異常気象の正体を垣間見たその時、異変解決戦争開戦の大きな合図が大地に響いた。 ――神社を倒壊させる程の大地震。 何故かその地震は、神社にいた巫女しか揺れを感じる事は無かったのだが、 彼女を異変解決調査に乗り出させるには十分だった。 „ ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Prologue Japanese Remilia conducts her own investigation by ordering Sakuya Izayoi to bring suspects directly to her. She eventually deduces that the culprit is located above the mountains, an area where she is highly vulnerable to sunlight. Hopeless Masquerade Remilia appears as a background cameo in Hopeless Masquerade on the Hakurei Shrine stage. She sits on a chair alongside Patchouli Knowledge and Sakuya Izayoi, drinking tea. A fairy maid hovers above her holding a parasol to block the sunlight. Impossible Spell Card After reading a tengu newspaper report about a troublesome amanojaku, Remilia joins the many powerful youkai and humans who attempt to stop Seija Kijin on the final day. She employs spell cards widely considered impossible to evade. Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Aya Shameimaru writes an article about the scarlet mist that Remilia used to cause the Scarlet Mist Incident. She describes the strange red rainbow it creates and its wing like pattern, specifically angel wings, which would seem to contradict Remilia's identity as a devil. When interviewed, Remilia only explains the cause of the rainbow and claims she knows nothing about the pattern, insisting it had no real meaning. Patchouli Knowledge interrupts and, after providing a more complete explanation of the scarlet rainbow, states that the pattern is merely a coincidence. It happened because Remilia releases the mist from her fingers, so the shape naturally follows the contours of her fingers themselves. Aya also interviews Remilia alongside her sister to gather information about the meteorite that exploded in the sky. While Flandre simply describes how she destroyed the object, Remilia explains that the meteorite was destined to fall on the Scarlet Devil Mansion at that exact moment, and that Flandre was also destined to be there to destroy it. In a follow up interview, Remilia again insists that not only was the meteorite fated to fall there, but the event was also artificially caused by someone forcing it to happen. She shows Aya a fragment of the meteorite covered in magical runes as evidence. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense Remilia has an encyclopedic article written apart of the Gensokyo Chronicle by Hieda no Akyuu. Silent Sinner in Blue With help from Patchouli, Remilia travels to the Moon alongside Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya using a rocket that draws power from Reimu. Once there, they encounter Watatsuki no Yorihime and several Moon rabbits. A fight breaks out, but both sides use the spell card rules to prevent any bloodshed. Yorihime defeats all of them. Afterward, Remilia and the others, except for Reimu, return to Earth. Despite suffering a decisive loss at the hands of the Moon Princess, Remilia does not appear particularly bothered by it. She finds another way to pass the time and entertain herself by building a fake indoor sea inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The Grimoire of Marisa Marisa documents Remilia's spell cards and their patterns, considering imitating them. Forbidden Scrollery In chapter 6 of Forbidden Scrollery, Remilia tells Reimu that she has found a rare animal from the outside world called a tupai and has been raising it. The creature later goes missing, and people assume it is responsible for the sake disappearing from the Human Village. In chapter 7, this so called tupai is revealed to actually be a chupacabra that Remilia keeps as a pet, which she has named Tupai. The Grimoire of Usami When the Hakurei Fireworks Festival ends, Remilia is seen with Flandre performing a spell card together for fun. Whispered Oracle of Hakurei Shrine After an incident, Reimu writes a fortune slip for Remilia.

Name Meaning

Remilia Scarlet's full name (レミリア・スカーレット) carries a strong Western flavor, likely French or British in origin. The first name appears to be an original creation by ZUN, possibly derived from "Emilia," a name meaning "rival" or "emulating." Her surname refers to a bright red color with a faint orange undertone and serves as a variant of "Scarlett" as a family name. This also likely is in reference to her being a vampire. The middle dot placed between her given and family names follows the standard Japanese convention for writing foreign names, indicating the break between the two parts.

Despite having an actual name, Gensokyo's residents more often refer to her by titles such as "the vampire," "the Scarlet Devil" (紅い悪魔), or simply "the mistress." It is actually quite rare for others to use her proper name. Patchouli Knowledge is an exception, affectionately calling her Remi (レミィ).

Also given that she claims to be related to Vlad Tepes (though this is likely not true), Remilia Scarlet may be a name she gave herself.

Appearance

General Description: Remilia is a figure with short light-blue hair and red eyes. She has a pair of large black bat-like wings on her back with a wingspan wider than her height. She is said to be about as tall as a girl in her early teens, between 10 and 14 years old.

Facial Features: She has short light-blue hair. A light-pink mob cap with a red ribbon decorated with white stripes is worn on her head. Her eyes are red.

Clothing/Outfit:

• Embodiment of Scarlet Devil / Immaterial and Missing Power / Scarlet Weather Rhapsody: A light-pink dress with a red ribbon on both sleeves. In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, the dress has red trimmings. A large red ribbon with white stripes is worn behind her waist. A necklace with a Caduceus-like centerpiece is worn.
• Imperishable Night: Same as above, but without the necklace.

Physical Traits: Two large black bat-like wings extend from her back.

Alternative Outfits:

• Immaterial and Missing Power / Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Palette Swap: A red dress instead of pink, with blonde hair replacing her light-blue hair. This color scheme resembles her sister Flandre.

Alternate Forms/Disguises: Her palette swap alternative outfit is a color variation rather than a distinct alternate form.

Personality

• Childish and Selfish: Remilia is somewhat childish and selfish despite having lived for a long time. She acts as egotistically as she wants due to the fear other youkai feel toward vampires.

• Proud and Grandiose: Remilia is proud of her physical capabilities and acts superior to others in an overblown and grandiose fashion. She claims to be descended from Vlad Tepes, though the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil manual notes this is not true.

• Easily Bored and Novelty-Seeking: Remilia enjoys new and novel things. She plays along in silly games and allows herself to be manipulated if it staves off boredom.

• Curious: Remilia possesses inexhaustible curiosity. ZUN describes her as the kind to find her own adventures without being self-aware about it.

• Polite and Kind: Vampires are naturally polite and kind individuals.

Goals

• Create a scarlet night (Failed).

Relationships

Flandre Scarlet

Flandre is Remilia's younger sister. She is stated to respect and idolize her sister, and Remilia cares for Flandre, as shown when she considers getting her a good tutor in Imperishable Night, though it is unknown how often the two actually interact.

Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states that it is rare, but not nonexistent, to see the sisters together. Despite this, they have been depicted together on many occasions, including:

• Forbidden Scrollery Chapter 7, where they are looking at their pet Tupai
• Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, which also shows that Remilia at least allows Aya Shameimaru to interview Flandre
• The Grimoire of Usami, where after the Hakurei Festival they played together shooting a spell card.
• Violet Detector
• Foul Detective Satori

The interview in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red reveals that while Flandre may respect her older sister, it is to the extent one would expect from a snarky child. She is willing to outright state when she believes Remilia is spouting nonsense, at which point Remilia interjects with a comment that Flandre should not talk about her older sister that way.

Sakuya Izayoi

Sakuya is utterly loyal to Remilia, serving her as Head Maid without question—a bond whose mutual trust remains unexplained. She follows Remilia's requests even when she knows they are futile, such as attempting to catch Lily White to restore spring in Strange and Bright Nature Deity on her mistress's whims. When Remilia playfully criticizes her failure, Sakuya takes it in good stride without disagreement.

She also acts on Remilia's behalf unprompted, accompanying her in Imperishable Night and attempting to do so in Immaterial and Missing Power, or putting on an impromptu sleight-of-hand magic show for her in Curiosities of Lotus Asia. Remilia has praised Sakuya as an excellent cleaner, though not before contradictorily stating that humans are useless. Their closeness permits Sakuya to lightly chide her mistress at times, such as chastising Remilia in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Immaterial and Missing Power victory quotes for sneaking food or playing around too much.

Patchouli Knowledge

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.

Hong Meiling

Remilia is Meiling's mistress. True to her nature, Remilia tends to tease all her subordinates, and Meiling is no exception. While she does become angered at times when things do not go her way, the two are generally on friendly terms. In Touhou Hisoutensoku, it is suggested that Remilia reads some of the same manga that Meiling does.

Koakuma

As it is Remilia's mansion, she is a fellow employee of it.

Reimu Hakurei

Remilia was indirectly involved in the discussions with Reimu that led to the creation of the spell card rules. Embodiment of Scarlet Devil marked the first time Reimu met the residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, where she also discovered that Remilia was its mistress. However, Reimu's actual dialogue with Remilia does not necessarily indicate whether they knew each other prior to that meeting.

After their battle in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Remilia often visits the Hakurei Shrine to spend time with Reimu. She is one of several youkai depicted when Reimu complains about youkai hanging around her shrine in Wild and Horned Hermit. Reimu successfully argues in an early chapter of Strange and Bright Nature Deity that she should be allowed into a party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion because Remilia always comes to her shrine.

Although Remilia is fond of Reimu, she still maintains a rivalry of sorts with the shrine maiden and is more than happy to duel her, as shown in Imperishable Night and Remilia's storyline in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.

Yukari Yakumo

Yukari used Remilia as part of her scheme to extract the residence tax and exact revenge on the Lunarians in Silent Sinner in Blue. Patchouli reveals that Remilia knew she was being manipulated but did not care, simply because she was bored.

Remilia harbors an unexplained rivalry with Yukari, desiring to reach the Moon in her own way before Yukari can in order to surprise her. This rivalry may stem from the power struggle mentioned in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense's Vampire article, possibly originating with the Vampire Incident. The rivalry appears to be largely one-sided on Remilia's part, though she has no objections to Yukari staying for the party at the end of Silent Sinner in Blue or assisting her with investigations in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.

Dialogue in Immaterial and Missing Power implies that the two had already known each other prior to that game. It is possible they first met during the Vampire Incident, and that Yukari was the one who signed "the contract" with Remilia.

Attack Potency: At least Building level (Potency) (Vampires are among the strongest of the youkai, strong enough to take part in the power-balance of Gensokyo, making them comparable if not superior to Oni who are able to cause nearby buildings collapse with just a step), 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). 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: At least Building level, Far Higher with Spiritual Power. Her existence as a Vampire makes her difficult to kill (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)

Striking Strength: At least Building Class (Potency) (Vampires are strong enough to crush boulders)

Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Vampires have tremendous physical abilities, being able to uproot a thousand-year-old tree single-handedly)

Vampires are able to run through the human village within the blink of an eye, reaching these speeds. Vampires are noted to be faster than the eye can follow), likely Speed of Light (Vampires are the only species that are noted to possibly be able to keep up with Tengu, this should make them relative to Aya Shameimaru, where her spell card has her move so fast she starts becoming a beam of light)

Attack Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+, likely Speed of Light. Speed of Light with Divine Spear "Spear the Gungnir" (The spear's size and power are upgraded from Heart Break, where its speed is like a laser where even at a distance it can pierce the enemy instantly). 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: At least Massively Hypersonic+, likely Speed of Light

Stamina: Superhuman (Fought against multiple opponents over the course of the night without showing any signs of tiring)

Range: Standard Melee. At least Planetary with Attacks (Caused a mist shrouded in a deep red so thick that the sunlight could not reach the Earth, leading to a summer with low temperatures), Cross-Dimensional with Battlefield Removal (Ordinary youkai, can send themself and their opponent to a different battlefield)

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.

• 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.

  • Types: Passive
  • Source: Metaphysical Regeneration
  • Capabilities: Youkai have stronger bodies than humans, thus even if they're torn limb from limb they can heal right away. Youkai can heal wounds like tiger slashes in no time at all.

• Battlefield Removal
  • Application Based: Ordinary youkai, can send themself and their opponent to a different battlefield.
• Magic (Youkais have developed a civilization of magic, making it a common ability used by them. 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 also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion)

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.

• Temperature Manipulation (Youkai being released caused the room to get more cold)

• Curse Manipulation (Youkai energy naturally curses people)
• Quantum Manipulation (Youkai are naturally in a state of lurking within quantum gaps, were they can exist in both the human world and Gensokyo freely while not being noticed in the human world and passing through objects, being compared to the idea of Schrödinger's Cat).
• Spirit Manipulation (The bombs used are referred to as spiritual attacks, being directly called spiritual attacks)
  • Explosion Manipulation (When bomb users are cornered from attacks they cannot repel with regular attacks they can release a massive spirit explosive that destroys all objects on screen, along with killing all enemies on screen)

  • 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)

  • Disease Manipulation (Non-Humans within Gensokyo do not have much demand for medicine for physical illnesses as they are comprised mostly of spirit, thus they are always fit and robust with no diseases)
  • Matter Manipulation & Physics Manipulation (Youkai are noted to be fluctuations that exist in worlds which are not dominated by concepts such as photons, but instead other types of particles not explored by humans in the Outside World, with the grand unified theory being the reason for all pheneomna in the human world, which does not apply to Gensokyo. Gensokyo is a brane world dominated by particles with different properties, not following the standard physics of the real world)
  • Gravity Manipulation (Noted by Maribel that in the world of Gensokyo, they the gravitons likely have a different structure and the world's properties are likely different too, likening it to being one of the brane worlds)

• Calamity Manipulation (Vampires are the cause of many disasters that affect the whole of Gensokyo, they can create abnormalities in everything including natural phenomena with no warning)

• Breaking the Fourth Wall (Touhou characters constantly acknowledge being a stage boss)
• Cartoon Physics (Gensokyo is a world that lacks and defies common sense, where characters can explode, this is even acknowledged with ZUN roleplaying as the characters in-universe that they explode upon defeat. Despite this they will still come back, even human characters that do not have regeneration)
• Non-Standard Interaction
  • Metaphysical Interaction: As a non-human that can only be truly harmed from powerful spiritual attacks, they should also be able to harm other non-humans.
• Flight (Flew into the battlefield. Naturally uses her grown wings to fly aronud)
• Power Modification (Spell Card Rules allows someone to apply meaning and a name to an attack to form it, allowing for people to use abilities like Sakuya's time stop)

Caused a mist shrouded in a deep red so thick that the sunlight could not reach the Earth, that surrounded even past the Hakurei Shrine, where it's noted that the mist carries a mysterious energy that was so strong that a normal human would only survive for about 30 minutes)
  • Temperature Manipulation (The mist caused a summer with low temperatures)
  • Disease Manipulation & Poison Manipulation (Merely inhaling the mist would make one feel sick and led to people being unable to leave not only the human village, but even their homes over the course of the next several days)
• Fate Manipulation (Remilia is, repeatedly acknowledged to have the ability to control and manipulate fate. The ability can even be used unconsciously as it's noted that it appears that any person nearby her will have an unfortunate fate, even if she's unaware of them. Reimu's fortune reading for Remilia notes not only can she manipulate fate but she can create her own future thus there's no reason for her to predict the future. Hieda no Akyuu questions if Remilia consciously activates it as it's said misfortune will befall those who are merely in her vicinity and she can cause great change in the state of the daily lives of others with but a word such as being likely to encounter rare things. There is no visible indication for someone to be able to tell when her ability is in effect. It's noted also that it's very likely that people in brought and treated at the Scarlet Devil Mansion are saved due to their fate to 'die like an animal' being altered. Remilia's ability effectively ignores the three layers of reality as she applies fate to a world that does not apply by the idea of fate but instead probability)
  • Precognition (Flandre notes that Remilia claims she was aware of a metorite hitting Gensokyo as she understood fate and knew everything right from the start)
  • Spirit Manipulation & Biological Manipulation (It's also noted that depending on how Remilia change ones fate, she could make one become a half-human, half-youkai, effectively influencing both layers of reality)

• Resistance to
  • Smoke Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, & Poison Manipulation (Can absorb the mist into herself to spawn some attacks, , where it's noted that the mist carries a mysterious energy that was so strong that a normal human would only survive for about 30 minutes)
  • Transmutation (Remilia is unaffected by the Forest of Magic, where the Forest of Magic has the power to change the very nature of the beings within it)
    • Abstract Manipulation
  • Mind Manipulation (Remilia is unaffected by the Forest of Magic,a place with a wide number of hallucinogenic mushrooms where simply being near them will make hallucinations appear as if one was entranced by magic)
  • Fungus Manipulation (Remilia is unaffected by the Forest of Magic, where it's noted that the forest's environment is extremely ill-suited to human life, with th espores of monster mushrooms dancing about in the air, even breathing there would be hazardous to the health of a normal human, having "noxious miasma")
    • Poison Manipulation
  • Temperature Manipulation & Radiation Manipulation (Like her sister, should be unaffected by the mass fires and radiation from Utsuho, where Utsuho's Atomic Fire "Nuclear Fusion" causes mass amounts of radiation)

Manipulation of Fate

Remilia claims to be able to manipulate fate, though it's exact activation is unknown to others. Those in Remilia's vicinity appear to be followed by bad fortune, even when Remilia is unaware of the person. Akyuu claims that Remilia can bring great changes to one's daily life with nothing more than a word, citing as an example that one becomes more likely to encounter rare things.

According to her younger sister Flandre, the true nature of the ability may be knowing what happens in the future. Flandre cites the example of Remilia predicting the exact hour and day a meteor would fall to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. However, Flandre also says that Remilia "just likes to talk that way" and that it may simply be an act of pretense.

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.

Aerial Normal Attacks

Input: 8A / 8B Mid-air melee attacks used for aerial combat and pressure.

• 8A: A light aerial strike.
• 8B: A stronger aerial attack, with some characters possessing multiple variations or charge properties.

Directional Aerial Attacks

Input: 86A / 82A / 82B Specialized aerial attacks with directional emphasis.

• 86A: An upward-angled aerial attack available to select characters.
• 82A: A downward-angled aerial attack available to select characters.
• 82B: A downward aerial variant unique to specific characters.

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

Input: 86fA / 82fA / 82fB Directional aerial projectile variants available only to select characters.

C-Type Projectile Attacks

Input: C A distinct projectile separate from fA and fB, often possessing unique properties.

Directional C-Type Variants

Input: 6C / 2C Modified versions of C with altered angles or effects.

Aerial C-Type Attacks

Input: 8C An aerial version of the C projectile.

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.

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.

Other

Standard Tactics:

• Under Spell Card Rules: As unfair skills are normally banned under spell card rules and the activation of Remilia's manipulation of fate is unknown, it's likely she doesn't actively try to use it under spell card rules. Instead she utilizes various magic attacks.
• Out of Spell Card Rules: Remilia has shown to be aware of and understand fate enough to stop things such as a giant meteor from attacking her house. It's also noted that she likely has used fate many times unaware as anyone around her tends to experience misfortune, even if she's not aware of them.

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.
• Vampire Weaknesses: Vampires are weak to sunlight, making them docile during the day, this weakness however isn't as instant as the common sun weakness in fiction. It is shown with vampires like Remilia that they can be exposed to sunlight for quite a while before dying. Yuuma notes that Flandre is a vampire that can't stand daylight yet she can fight while under the Hell of Blazing Fires' energy, which is the same as the sun which Flandre notes it was hurting her skin, yet it did nto at all instantly kill her. Vampires cannot move through flowing water, making them docile on rainy days, they also cannot cross rivers. Vampires cannot approach a sardine heaed or a broken holly branch. Vampires skin will be burnt if someone throws roasted soybeans at them.
• Magic Weaknesses: Magic users taking too much damage will cancel out their attacks. If a magic users spirit is depleted they enter a state of "Guard Crush" where they can't use bullets, special moves, or spell cards at all. Repeatedly attacking red glyphs will break one's defenses.
• Unique Weaknesses: Remilia is naturally egotistical.

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 ofcharacters 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

• Although Remilia is known to drink human blood and has a particular preference for B-type blood, her light appetite means her victims rarely die from their wounds. However, because she tends to stain her clothes a deep scarlet from the blood, she has also earned the nickname the Scarlet Devil (紅い悪魔 Akai akuma). According to Akyuu, Remilia already had that nickname before moving to Gensokyo.

• Due to "The Young Descendant of Tepes," the title of the prelude theme to the final boss stage of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Remilia has sometimes been linked to Count Dracula's lineage, as Dracula's full name is Vlad Țepeș Dracul. While Remilia herself claims to be a literal descendant of Țepeș, ZUN has stated that she is lying.

• Based on her being over 500 years old during the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Remilia was likely born sometime near the beginning of the 1500s.

• The name of her spell card "Red Magic" is very likely a reference to the MORI Hiroshi novel All Become F (すべてがFになる Subete ga F ni naru ~ The Perfect Insider). In that novel, Redmagic is the name of an advanced operating system developed by the genius Shiki Magata.

• One of Remilia's spell cards is named after Gungnir, the spear of Odin, which is described as having the ability to always hit its mark.

• Remilia appeared in the sixth game of the Touhou Project. She is the Stage 6 boss, and the player fights through six spell cards on that stage on any difficulty above Easy (Remilia has five spell cards total, and Sakuya has one in her midboss appearance). When these numbers are combined, they read "666," which is said to be the Number of the Beast in the Book of Revelation and is often associated with the Devil in popular culture. This is likely a coincidence rather then done on purpose.

• Remilia's theme begins with the same musical phrase as the third movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathétique."

• In Curiosities of Lotus Asia Chapter 4, Reimu Hakurei notes that Remilia should go back to her coffin. Remilia retorts that coffins are for the dead, indicating that she does not sleep in a coffin. In Imperishable Night's Scarlet Team scenario, before battling Reimu, Remilia again reminds her that she does not sleep in a coffin. Finally, in Oriental Sacred Place Chapter 15, released seven years later, what appears to be the first canonical depiction of Remilia's bedroom is shown, and she is depicted sleeping in a coffin placed on a bed.

• Her first five alternate palettes in Touhou Hisoutensoku resemble Flandre Scarlet, Patchouli Knowledge, Hong Meiling, Sakuya Izayoi, and Koakuma respectively.

• Despite her childish and girlish appearance, Remilia uses both a haughty "mistress" speech pattern (～かしら？, ～だわ) and a strong, masculine one (～か？, ～だ) in her original Japanese dialogue. Most of these nuances are difficult to translate into English.

• Since Remilia is a corruption of the name Emilia, a fairly common name in France, and Scarlet is an alternative spelling of Scarlett, a common French surname, it is possible that Remilia is from France. Her sister's name, Flandre, provides further evidence, as Flandre is a French term for people from the province of Flanders, a region that, while located in modern-day Belgium, was historically part of France. However, it is shown in the Forbidden Scrollery Volume 2 extras that Remilia once wrote a letter to Kosuzu Motoori in English.

• 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 fighting youkai and monsters in a dystopian future.
  • In Sarai, there are two small maid girls with red hair and mob caps, which likely inspired Remilia and Flandre.
  • Remilia's pose in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil resembles the pose of Nudge in Volume 8 of Sarai.

• ZUN has speculated that if Remilia took the 16 personality types evaluation, she would be classified as Adventurer (ISFP).

Profiles

Eternally Young Scarlet Moon Remilia Scarlet Ability: Manipulation of fate The final boss. She's been the mistress for about 500 years. She doesn't tell you directly and only hint during the game, but she is a vampire. She blanketed Gensokyo with a magic mist in order to cut off the sunlight. Although she has been alive for 500 years, her personality is that of a selfish child. She is respected by most youkai, but her charisma doesn't stem from her personality; rather, it comes from the fear that they have for her kind. She has one younger sister; nothing else is known about her family. She is a light eater. In other words, she can drink only a little blood at a time and must leave the rest behind, so the humans off of whom she feeds become a bit anemic, but usually stay alive. Due to that fact, she always fails to increase the number of her kind. She often spills more blood than she consumes. The spilled blood dyes her dress a deep scarlet, which is what gives rise to her title, the "Scarlet Devil". She swears that she is a descendant of Tepes, but nobody is certain whether she is truly related to the Vlad "Dracula" Tepes. Well, in fact, she is not. Total of ten card attacks.

Eternally Young Scarlet Moon Remilia Scarlet Species: Vampire Location: Scarlet Devil Mansion Abilities: Manipulation of fate Master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She looks young, but she's actually a vampire who's over 500 years old. Weak against sunlight, she has to take a parasol if she wants to go out in the daytime. Her personality is somewhat childish, and she's got maids who are basically at her beck and call, so she can be as egotistical as she wants. She's immensely powerful, so she can really kick up a fuss. Faster than the eye can follow, strong enough to crush boulders, powerful enough to manipulate demons, she's so strong it's almost not fair, so she doesn't care much for subtle technique. She may be weak against sunlight, but she has a pretty strong constitution, so as long as some bit of her still remains, say, a little bat, she can regenerate any time. She's dreadful to have as an enemy, but she's not exactly the sort of person you'd want as a friend, either.

Immaterial and Missing Power

Imperishable Night - Manual

The Scarlet Devil, Remilia Scarlet A vampire who resides in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She can manipulate fate. She has apparently lived for over 500 years. Considering how long she has lived, she acts rather childishly. Creatures of her kind forfeit their growth and maturity in exchange for eternal life. In other words, she can live forever because she never grows up. It goes without saying that she is weak against sunlight, can't cross flowing water, hates garlic, and despises sardine heads. Crosses have no effect on her. It puzzles her to hear that her kind are supposed to be weak against such a thing. She uses bats and arrows as her weapons. She can spawn an unlimited number of bats from herself. Notes She teams up with Sakuya this time. Normal speed only applies when she's used as a solo character. Her familiar remains in place once set, and continues to attack from that position. Used properly, it's quite effective against both bosses and their weakling subordinates. Good for those who believe that memorization of the enemies' appearance position is the basis of shooting games.

She is very childish even though she has been alive for more than 500 years.

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody

ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten (EoSD) plaque

"Vampire as the last boss is one of the best tropes in video games, no way this suddenly won't work in a bullet hell!" That's what I thought when I started making the game. Now I think of it, that superhuman toughness and vampiric ability are only suited for roleplaying games. Making bullet patterns for vampires ended up very difficult. I assigned the badass role to Sakuya, the human character, then let Remilia take the role of a selfish noble princess. I soon realized that this has made Remilia no different than an average human, so I gave her a huge pair of bat wings to compensate. But the more I looked at it the more it felt like Bahamut from Final Fantasy (lol)

吸血鬼がボスというお話は鉄板で、弾幕STGでも格好悪くなる筈がない！ と思って作り始めましたが、よくよく考えたら、超人的な身体能力や吸血といった能力はRPG向けでしたね。弾幕を作るには苦労しました。 格好いいキャラは人間の咲夜に任せて、わがままなお嬢様方面に振りました。ただそれだけだと人間と区別が付かないので、大きな蝙蝠の羽を付けました。でもこれ、どちらかというとバ○ムートですね(笑)

ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten (IN) plaque

Remilia has been a popular character ever since. But she's set to be a character who cannot go out during daytime, which makes it tricky to introduce her into other works. Very convenient that IN's stage is set at night. Although it wouldn't be too much of a problem even if it weren't at night since she's with Sakuya and Sakuya can just hold an umbrella for her.

レミリアは当時から人気があるキャラです。 しかし、設定上、昼間の屋外に出す事が出来ず、ゲームや作品に出しにくいキャラでもあります。 永夜抄は舞台が夜だけで良かったですね。 まあ、咲夜と一緒なら傘を差して貰えば大丈夫なんですけどね。

Dai Touhouten (IN) plaque

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.
