GamesPrint Works Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Rumia's sprite in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil English TranslationJapanese “ Eastern Scarlet Devil Land ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil - 0 - Every day in Gensokyo was more noisy than expected. 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 Rumia vs. Reimu in the Scarlet Mist Incident A thick red mist blankets Gensokyo, irritating Reimu and prompting her to investigate its source. On her way, she bumps into Rumia, who is noted even by ZUN to not have any real bearing to the plot. Reimu swiftly defeats her. Shoot the Bullet English TranslationJapanese “ 1. Special Story ——Bunkachou. The mysterious notebook where the tengu wrote material for stories. Marisa "Oh, I found this creepy notebook a while ago, I don't know whose it is, though." Reimu "Oh, did you burn it?" Marisa "Why do I have to burn it? Anyway, it's got photos pasted everywhere in it, and there's explanations scribbled all over, like someone talking to themselves. Creepy, huh?" Reimu "That is creepy. So, did you burn it?" Marisa "Yeah, I burned it. In my mind. The photos of just youkai or danmaku have things like "This picture is no good" or "This picture will be useful" written on them. Isn't that creepy?" A crow calls. Soon the sun will set. It's a good thing it's not a cuckoo calling. Reimu "So, where is this notebook?" Marisa "It was creepy, so I was all excited about taking it home, but all of a sudden it was gone. Dammit, I wonder if a crow stole it." Reimu "That's the creepiest part of your story. Maybe I'd better burn you instead of that notebook." The tengu races across Gensokyo at the highest speed together with the crows. As the newspaper extras fly about, Gensokyo's newspaper girl Aya Shameimaru looked for youkai to serve as story material. „ ~ Shoot the Bullet Prologue English Translation “ ■１．おまけのストーリー 　――文花帖。 　　　　それは天狗が記事のネタを書き留めた不思議な手帖。 　魔理沙「そう言えば、この間気味の悪い手帖を拾ったんだ、誰のもんだか 　　　　　判らんが」 　霊夢　「そう、燃やしたの？」 　魔理沙「何でいきなり燃やす必要があるんだよ。で、その手帖には写真が 　　　　　びっしり貼ってあって、それぞれに独り言みたいな解説が書かれ 　　　　　ていたんだよ。気味悪いだろう？」 　霊夢　「気味悪いわね。それで燃やしたの？」 　魔理沙「ああ燃やしたさ。心の中で。 　　　　　妖怪と弾幕ばっか撮影した変な写真ばかりで『この写真は使えな 　　　　　い』とか『この写真はネタになる』とか書かれていたんだよ。 　　　　　な、気味が悪いだろう？」 　　鴉が鳴いている。もうそろそろ日が落ちようとしていた。 　　鳴いているのは閑古鳥で無くて良かった。 　霊夢　「それで、その手帖はどこにあるの？」 　魔理沙「気味が悪いから持ち帰ろうと思ってウキウキ気分で歩いていたら、 　　　　　何故か既に手に持ってなかったんだ。 　　　　　くそ、鴉に持って行かれたかもしれん」 　霊夢　「そっちの方が気味が悪い話ねぇ。 　　　　　燃やすのは手帖じゃなくて、あんたね」 　　鴉と共に天狗は最速で幻想郷を駆け抜ける。 　　号外が飛び交う中、幻想郷のブン屋　射命丸文（しゃめいまるあや）の 　ネタ集めの為に妖怪を探していた。 „ ~ Shoot the Bullet Prologue Japanese Rumia is the stage 1 target in Shoot the Bullet, which Aya is annoyed by due to her darkness making the photos no good due to how dark they were. Hopeless Masquerade Rumia is a background character in Hopeless Masquerade, being seen in the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausolem stage doing her popular crucifix pose. Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red During an interview with Aya, Rumia expressed frustration that other youkai had begun entering her darkness, attributing this to Aya's article suggesting they could similarly avoid light and heat by doing so. She also objected when Aya requested sufficient light for note-taking, claiming it would make the darkness too bright. Aya noted her disappointment that recently there seemed to be more youkai lacking motivation to learn or work, counting Rumia among them. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense Hieda no Akyuu writes an article on Rumia apart of her Gensokyo Chronicles. Oriental Sacred Place Rumia appears in Oriental Sacred Place taking part in a test of guts held at the Hakurei Shrine alongside Sakuya Izayoi, Youmu Konpaku, Yuyuko Saigyouji, Wriggle Nightbug, Mystia Lorelei, and Cirno. She is first seen speaking with Mystia and Wriggle, then later within her sphere of darkness while pursuing Youmu. She reappears later among a similar crowd when the Three Fairies of Light prepare a festival at the Hakurei Shrine. The Grimoire of Marisa Marisa documents Rumia's spell card, Night Sign "Night Bird" in her grimoire. Marisa considers imitating it. Whispered Oracle of Hakurei Shrine Reimu writes a fortune slip on Rumia to clean up in the aftermath of an incident. Foul Detective Satori Rumia makes a cameo appearance when they explain humanity's fears of the night, the darkness, and youkai themselves.

Name Meaning

The name "Rumia" (ルーミア) may have been intended for romanization as "Lumia", potentially deriving from the Latin lumen ("light") or related English words such as "luminous" or "luminescent". This possible origin finds support in her first spell card, Moon Sign "Moonlight Ray". If "Lumia" was indeed the intended romanization, her ability to manipulate and create darkness might function through light absorption. ZUN has used "Rumia" in a 2004 diary post—though he also used the noticeably erroneous "Frandre" in the same entry—and has overseen official corrections from "Lumia" to "Rumia". The name "Rumia" also appears on her portrait in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense.

Appearance

General Description: Rumia is a figure with short blonde hair and red eyes. According to ZUN, her height is that of a human in her early teens, between 10 and 14 years old.

Facial Features: She has short blonde hair. A small red ofuda is tied to the left side of her hair, positioned to resemble a ribbon. She cannot touch or remove this amulet. Her eyes are red.

Clothing/Outfit:

• Primary Outfit (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil official art): A black vest and skirt over a white blouse. A red tie bordered by two large red beads is worn around her neck.

Special Features: The red ofuda in her hair is a permanent fixture that she cannot touch or remove, despite its appearance as a hair ribbon. Her height places her in the early teen range per developer statements.

Personality

• Unaware of Her Own Weakness: Rumia surrounds herself with darkness during the day but cannot see inside it herself. Akyuu questions whether she is stupid after deducing this.

• Lazy and Unmotivated: Rumia states that improving her aimless wandering routine or using her darkness to hunt more effectively would be "too much effort." Aya notes that Rumia is one of many youkai who do not feel like working or learning and does not maintain her dignity as a youkai.

• Dislikes Sunlight and Heat: Rumia complains that sunlight makes her tired, turns her skin red, and dries out her hair. She dislikes summer heat.

• Theatrical Presentation: Rumia holds her arms stretched straight out horizontally to evoke the image of a crucified saint.

Goals

• Hunt for humans (Ongoing).

Relationships

Mystia Lorelei, Wriggle Nightbug, & Three Fairies of Light

Cardinality: Finite

Dimensionality: 3-D

Power Source: Magic & Fear

Attack Potency: At least Bone level (Noted that Rumia's darkness powers are a supporting ability and she uses pure power to attack humans, where it's noted even with her appearance, a human's power can't compare to a youkai's. Youkais can easily kill humans, with it being noted that if it came to open conflict between humans and youkai, they would probably wipe out the village in the blink of an eye. Youkai have stronger bodies than humans. Youkai are noted to be physically stronger than humans), Far Higher with Spiritual Power (Spiritual Power is the main power source for how characters are able to fight, all of their attacks normally drain spirit and even blocking attacks drains spirit, where if they're out of spirit they cannot use bullets, special moves, or spell cards, where spiritual power is in the same layer as magic. 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 conventional 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 Bone level, Far Higher with Spiritual Power (Spiritual Power is what protects fighters from other spiritual attacks, where if they're out of spirit they cannot use bullets, special moves, spell cards or block attacks, where spiritual power is in the same layer as magic. Characters with their spiritual powers have survive minature suns exploding). Her Youkai Physiology makes her very difficult to kill (It's noted that one cannot defeat spirits or devilish powers without a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb. Physical attacks such as a whacking a sake bottle over the head are considered violent methods that wouldn't work on youkai, with it only being spiritual attacks that cause fatal wounds to youkai. When attempting to exterminate a youkai, one does not use weapons that cause physical damage, instead weapons with an "origin" are more preferable. In the world beyond (Gensokyo), physical form has no meaning for all non-human entities)

Lifting Strength: At least Superhuman Class

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

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)

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.

  • 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)
  • Extrasensory Perception (Noted by Patchouli that those who use magic are sensitive to changes in temperment)
  • Transferal (Magic users can transfer their magic into a tool, having the tool change depending on the user)
    • Transmutation
  • Acausality
    • For their Magic
      • Irregular Causality
        • Unknown: A youkai's magical power exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory, a theory with any model that merges electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces into a single force at high energies, unifying gravity with the electronuclear interaction, providing a more comprehensive theory of everything. It's further explained that magic is a force that cannot be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, with Yumemi even proposing a "Non-Unified Magic World" theory. Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension.

  • 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.

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

  • Information Manipulation, Biological Manipulation & Disease Manipulation (Youkai's do not possess DNA, the hereditary material and information of DNA that is stored as a code made up of all things that make an organism, unique through biological instructions and controls all cells in one's body, where normally one that lacks DNA would have adominal pain, nausea dizziness, rapid immune system collapse into systemic infection and system-wide organ failure leading to death)

Notable Techniques

Main Abilitiy

Manipulation of Darkness
Rumia possesses the ability to envelop her surroundings in magical darkness at will. This darkness renders conventional light sources (including torches) completely ineffective within its radius. Humans who wander inside find their vision severely limited, able to see virtually nothing.

The darkness is unaffected by external light sources but has no physical interaction with objects it envelops. Notably, Rumia herself cannot see within her own darkness; she openly admits to bumping into trees while surrounded by it, and multiple eyewitness accounts confirm that humans who entered the darkness sphere escaped unharmed.

Despite this limitation, Rumia demonstrates nuanced control over light permeability. She was able to read Aya's newspaper while surrounded by almost total darkness, letting only enough light pass through to read, while Aya herself could not write notes or read her own notebook in the same conditions.

Although she dislikes heat and sunlight, Rumia has been observed without her darkness in broad daylight on multiple occasions, including during summer.

In Shoot the Bullet, this ability manifests during the spell card Darkness Sign "Dark Side of the Moon". When covered in darkness, Rumia becomes impossible to photograph. Her spell card naming convention consistently references night and darkness themes, including Moon Sign, Night Sign, and Darkness Sign cards.

Other

Standard Tactics: Rumia emits the darkness around her to wrap one into it and then attack them with pure power.

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.
• 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: Rumia seems to not emit her darkness during the new moon. Eyewitness reports seem to indicate that Rumia cannot see outside of the darkness herself, and most likely cannot see in the darkness she produces, with Hieda attributing it to Rumia likely being stupid, these weakness is confirmed in Aya's interview with Rumia in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red. According to Rumia, she creates the darkness to avoid the sunlight and the heat. Where she notes it messes with her hair and skin.

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

• Rumia holds the distinction of being the first official Windows-era boss in the Touhou Project.

• While Play, Doujin! localizes her name as "Lumia" in their translations, ZUN himself and the broader Touhou doujin community consistently use "Rumia."

• Rumia's non-spell card attacks and her spell card Moon Sign "Moonlight Ray" share similarities with the attack patterns of Sara, the first stage boss from Mystic Square.

• During her conversation with Rumia in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Marisa references the phrase "人類は十進法を採用しました" ("Mankind adopted the decimal system"). This line originates from MORI Hiroshi's novel 誰もいなくなった　～ Thirty Little Indians (Then There Were None ~ Thirty Little Indians), part of まどろみ消去 ～Missing under the Mistletoe (Slumber Erasing ~ Missing under the Mistletoe).

近づいて、フカシとヨーコが手を振ると、西之園萌絵は、 両手を顔の横で広げてみせた。 人類は十進法を採用しました、というジェスチャではない。

(Coming closer, Fukashi and Yōko waved their hands, then Moe Nishinosono spread her hands next to her face. This wasn't the gesture of mankind adopting the decimal system.)

The author included this line to clarify that she did not spread her arms to form the shape of the character 十, but rather extended all ten fingers as if she had counted to ten.

• The sigil for Rumia featured in The Grimoire of Marisa depicts a mistletoe.

• Rumia was among the characters ZUN initially intended to include in Touhou Hisoutensoku. However, she was ultimately cut from the final roster.

• An unused enemy sprite exists within the files of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil that bears a resemblance to Rumia, though it features a different hat in place of her ribbon and performs a distinct animation. Little is known about this sprite, but it appears to be an early iteration of Rumia's design.

She is of no importance to the story, and isn't up to anything in particular in her life. The ribbon tied to her hair is actually a charm; she can't touch it even though there have been times when she wanted to take it off. There is no evidence of her ability to manipulate darkness in the game, but in truth, places around her are always as dark as night. Total of three card attacks. ○宵闇の妖怪 　　ルーミア 　　能力：闇を操る程度の能力 　　１面ボスです。妖怪です。 　　ストーリー上重要な位置に居ません。何の為に生きてるのか不明です。 　　実は髪の毛に巻いているリボンは御札で、リボンは取りたくてもルー 　　ミア本人では触れることすら出来ないのです。 　　実際、闇を操ってる場面を見れないですが、本当はルーミアの周りは 　　いつも夜になっています。 　　カードアタック　全3種。 Touhou Project - Embodiment of Scarlet Devil ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten plaque ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten plaque It's been a long time since the last title, so I wanted to have a character that had an element of surprise, and here she is. She's a girl with a power that controls darkness, but her first line is so casual and cheerful showing up with an "Is that so~." I like her because she's the representation of Touhou's distorted setting, where the strong have become weak. Although she's not an important figure in the narrative, her ability to be in the dark at any time was set to create an association with vampires who despise sunlight. Her ribbon was designed to have some secrets within, but it hasn't been used so far. (lol) 久しぶりの作品で、最初に意外性を持たせようと思って作りました。闇の能力者が初っぱなに出てきて「そーなのかー」と緩いセリフを吐く所に、東方の捻くれた脱力世界観を感じられて気に入っています。 ストーリー的には重要なキャラではないんですが、いつも暗闇になるという能力が、日光を嫌う吸血鬼を彷彿させるように配置してあります。ルーミアのリボンには秘密があるという設定でしたが、今のところ活かされてないですね(笑) Dai Touhouten 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.
