[@ShockInazuma]

I find it hilarious and incredibly fitting that Tenshi gave herself the name we all know and love. It’s unsurprisingly in character for her.

[@GensouChronicle]

And for the name to be "Angel" of all things. Very much in character.

[@ennui5018]

@@GensouChronicle I should add that 天子 means emperor in Chinese, as the literal meaning of kanji "child of heaven". Also, since the Chinese character "子" was used as an honorific in ancient China, the person who named her probably wanted to give her an impression of authority. Of course, this could also be a pun on angel.

[@efmusic04]

​@@ennui5018 Well tenshi as in angel is 天使

[@gardenbandaid]

I can't even be bothered by the fact that I got an embarrassing amount wrong (I have not read enough touhou manga) because I fucking DIED when the AI started talking about remilia's beloved pet "sakuya's pad." I'M GONNA CRY THE TOUHOU FANON IS TOO POWERFUL SEND HELP. imagine if a non fan who didn't know the truth was typing these questions looking for answers oh my god

[@GensouChronicle]

The pad meme was so overdone the AI thought it was canon. I feel like I uncovered something great there.

[@Sonicfalcon16]

I'm also a big touhou secondary

[@Arma-S]

Tbh when i heard "what pet does Remilia have?" i answered "Sakuya" too...

[@Surkk2960]

I love it when the AI says something right, but I also love it when its says something very stupid.

[@GensouChronicle]

It's the best.

[@RumiaEnjoyer]

I loved Sanae's B route in Touhou 12 where she meets the dragon god and helps him with the clouds. Hopefully one day Sakuya's breast pads will be explained to us in the lore. Very good video.

[@GensouChronicle]

ZUN is holding out on us. He owes us the pad lore.

[@t-qb1sq]

@GensouChronicle [Brackets=My comments, everything else is Chat GPT] Sakuya Izayoi is a character from the Touhou Project game series who serves as the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. In some Touhou fanworks, Sakuya is depicted as having a "pad" (short for "padlock"), which is a small device that she can use to manipulate time. The lore behind Sakuya's pad is that it is a device that she acquired from her previous employer, who was a powerful vampire known as Remilia Scarlet. [The fact that Sakuya is said to still work at the Scarlet Devil Mansion implies that Remilia lost ownership of the Mansion] The pad allows Sakuya to manipulate time in various ways, including slowing down or speeding up time in a localized area, creating time loops, and even traveling through time. According to some fan interpretations, the pad is actually a manifestation of Sakuya's own power, and she simply uses it as a focus to channel her abilities. Others believe that the pad is a powerful artifact that Sakuya acquired during her travels, and that she uses it to serve her mistress and protect the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It's worth noting that the lore behind Sakuya's pad is not official canon, as it is based on fanworks rather than the official Touhou games or manga. However, it has become a popular element in Touhou fanworks and has contributed to Sakuya's popularity as a character.

[@Hijiri_MIRACHION]

​​@@t-qb1sqI have to know ChatGPT's excuse for how Remilia apparently gets kicked out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, you know, the very one that she indirectly gives her name to (or at least her title, the Scarlet Devil)? Who leads the SDM now? And why does Sakuya still work there if she's meant to be loyal to Remilia?

[@t-qb1sq]

@@Hijiri_MIRACHION In Touhou Project lore, Remilia Scarlet wasn't kicked out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She voluntarily relinquished ownership to her sister, Flandre Scarlet, in order to pursue her own interests. Flandre is considered the current ruler of the mansion. Sakuya Izayoi, the chief maid, continues to serve at the mansion even after the change in ownership due to her strong loyalty and connection to both Remilia and Flandre. [I think Remilia made a very horrible decision.]

Lmao.

[@jimynitram4509]

The art makes this video so much better. It helps visualized the ridiculous answers the ai made. This really helped at "Remilia's Pet" and Luna Child's appearance. It just made the description so much funnier. Keep up the good work!

If anything, the AI is creative in how wrong it can be.

[@windyryady6367]

teh pa-KNIFED

[@kirimusse]

To be fair with the AI, Luna Child's ability is to "mute the surrounding sounds", so at least it's sound-related; also, I got a score of 7'5 (~15/20).

[@GensouChronicle]

Yeah, that's fair. I was a bit hyperbolic after the Byakuren question conflating her with Kyouko.

[@taodivinity1556]

Would be funny if next one is based on fanon questions, it'll give the AI even more imaginative power rather than pure knowledge.

[@Plasmy271]

The last time I asked GPT a Touhou question, it was: Who is Hata no Kokoro It called her a tengu and a boss from Touhou 16. I asked who Kokoro was, not "Give me some words related to Matara Okina"

[@GensouChronicle]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

[@BinglesP]

I mean, they're both tied to Noh arts, if that's worth anything

[@kalimatronix]

Interesting. I got all of easy and normal right, in hard didn't know about Kagerou's outfit and Tenshi's name and in Lunatic the only thing I knew was the year the Barrier was created.

[@GensouChronicle]

Not bad on the barrier question at least. That one is pretty rough.

[@TWLSpark]

I feel relatively concerned that just like the AI, I kinda failed all questions beyond Normal difficulty. I had had an inkling of an idea on a couple, like Remilia's pet (I think I saw the answer once on the wiki's trivia page), and the dragon palace and the deity Eirin is based on (both are mentioned in Touhou Lost Word), but I completely forgot the proper answers. The questions about Kagerou's dress and why Lunachild was the most youkai-like fairy were completely new to me, though. I definitely learned something new today.

[@GensouChronicle]

Glad you learned some new stuff!

[@funbus7678]

I managed a 15 out of 20 on the quiz which I'm going to take as pretty all right. The heart and lunatic questions were super fun and very interesting, especially the Luna child and founding date questions. I'm glad the AI has decided that every character in this series is just a different version of kyouko It's better off that way in my opinion!

[@GensouChronicle]

Nice job! I would say that's well above average for score.

[@bathynomusgiganteus2916]

That's because of the context poisoning the later answers. The test was not conducted properly.

[@AEM258]

20/20 but I was only able to guess a broad answer for the Kagerou question because I remembered some fanart of her associated with the answer I didn't actually know that. It's weird how even when the ai answers the question right sometimes it just decides to keep talking and be really wrong.

[@GensouChronicle]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of how it does that. But, congrats on the perfect score.

Something I found interesting about ChatGPT is that it may repeat misinformation within the same session when using it (ex. I remember seeing a lot of answers about Boa Hancock even when she has relatively little screentime when someone asked the AI about One Piece trivia)

[@GensouChronicle]

Yeah, that's something I've noticed with a lot of different AIs. They tend to get hung on weird things sometimes.

[@noxxyy]

@@GensouChronicle Bit of a late comment, but depending on the AI model, you can just ask it things like explanations of events that didn't happen and it'll either correctly identify the question as silly or completely make up a explanation. The latter can lead to some very confident yet entirely made-up answers which can be pretty fun to screw around with. Ask stupid questions confidently, and it might just give you a similarly confident answer.

That's pretty good! Those harder questions are no joke.

[@matt7399]

Got 12-14 questions right, depending on how lenient you'd be with grading lol. I'm happy with that. The Lunatic questions had hands though, completely stumped me on all of them. Really good video concept here. Presented a lot of Touhou facts in a way that was interesting, engaging, and funny to watch through. I would definitely want to watch another like this. Best of luck with your next video projects, hope they won't give you any trouble!

[@GensouChronicle]

If I do another one of these, I'm definitely doing 10 questions at max. This was a pain to make with how long it was. But seeing everyone enjoy this makes me want to do some follow-ups. Thanks for watching! I'm curious what your answers were though lol.

[@matt7399]

​@@GensouChronicle Even 10 questions would still be fun! It's alright to keep things reasonable so you don't burn out. I got 15-20 wrong (though I was close on the last one by saying 1880s). The two I had contention with are 12 and 14. I said Kagerou's design was based on the full moon which I can admit is a bit of a stretch seeing as I didn't get the hanafuda card part at all. For Remilia's pet, I only remembered it as a Tupai instead of chupacabra, so again sorta right but not sure if it would get full credit lol.

[@BinglesP]

Same, and I agree!

[@fhornmichaelmac]

This was hilarious X) I managed to get about 12 right, I started slipping part way through the hard ones and got the numbers jumbled with the final question. A few question ideas: - Who is Eternity Larva based off of? - Where is Alice from? - Why is Kasen often associated with Yoshika? - What was Eiki before she was a yama? - Why is Formel Hell no longer part of hell?

The last Kyouko cover over ChatGPT's answer is because ChatGPT believed said girl to have powers over sound waves. Got 9/20, missed 2 normal questions due to underthinking but "the moon" is just an easy guess for a locale name I don't know, given I knew Chireiden and didn't know any palaces in Gensokyo. Also, loved the art, especially Sakuya's pad. Can't say I was much better with that one - I immediately answered "Sakuya" then remembered it was canon only.

I actually got 12/20 pretty good considering I am not too big on the lore, got all until normal correct but then just got 2 lunatic right. Sakuya's pads that flies is hilarious

[@GensouChronicle]

12/20 is definitely good. I'd say 5/20 is average for any fan of the series.

[@lvander877]

So mad... I guessed 1886 for Gensokyo's creation. I had read about something regarding the barrier the other day and it was still fresh enough in my mind to be close, but evidently not enough. I used to consider myself sort of a lore fanatic... (Still got Eirin's question but that's because I focus a lot of my reading on Lunarian stuff)

[@goyavoyage]

If that helps: it's 60 years before the end of WWII, which in and of itself is somewhat referenced in PoFV.

[@sebc255]

My results: - Easy: All correct. - Normal: Almost all correct (I got too fixated on the bit of Koishi's consciousness, but I guess that counts as half-right). - Hard: Didn't know any. I only remembered people mentioning Akyuu aging more or less in real time based on her appearances, and I mixed up Chupacabra with Tsuchinoko. - Lunatic: Only got the last one half-right (I only remembered it was sometime in the 1800s), and while I knew Eirin was based on a mythological character, I forgot the name. So I'm gonna say I only did barely better than the AI.

[@bappityyyy]

I may not be able to beat Subterranean Animism on easy, but at least I got 18/20 on the Touhou lore quiz. The two questions I got wrong were Kagerou's dress inspiration (I have not read up much about Kagerou, but the answer is honestly pretty cool), and the god Eirin was based off of (although I did get the fact that Yagokoro was in it, along with something starting with the letter O, so I was vaguely on the right track). Honestly most of my knowledge comes from reading the Touhou wiki a lot Also answer to the bonus question: uhhh....... r̶i̶n̶ ̶s̶a̶t̶s̶u̶k̶i̶

IT'S AMAZING I should've noticed it's such a great inspiration for full moon-related character design :O (I mean I've played koi-koi and hana-awase sooo much but I just never looked in details at Kagerou's dress pattern! This makes me so happy!) - SAKUYA'S PAD BKIJIJHHKKGRYHH THAT MAY BE THE MOST CURSED ANSWER EVER - Wow I didn't know a thing about Tenshi's lore! But apparently the IA didn't know much either x) - oh WOW that TORIFUNE crackpot stuff was SUPERB it took me a while to recover from such brilliant bullshit xD - I, for one, welcome this "Luna has trans-colored hair" headcanon xD - about the Dragon Palace, I may be confused, but isn't there a variant of the myth of that one fisherman(?) visiting it, where in Touhou Project lore he's actually NOT brought to the palace but to the Lunar Capital, without necessarily implying that the two are the same place? I may be rusty about all that though. Overall: wow, chatGPT is a riot xD And I had 18/20? And learnt new things on Kagerou and Tenshi * - *

[@GensouChronicle]

Exactly how I felt reading this thing.

[@shiratojin]

this is so confusing to me as someone who knows the VERY BARE MINIMUM about Touhou lore.. like someone could tell me that Reimu had to do a Mountain Dew sponsorship in order to make enough money to keep up the Shrine, and I would 100% believe them.

[@GensouChronicle]

Yeah, this might be a really tough quiz for you lol.

[@MedsieLovr]

So uh, i actually used this AI once and started asking questions about Medicine in specific, the AI got Nothing 'right' about her at all, and i might have shaken the code a lil bit by saying "Medicine Melancholy is my wife" etc, and that she was actually real. Crazy shit, regret nothing.

[@benquinnobi6461]

I got 15/20 overall I believe. The question on Kagerou's outfit was one I'd never heard of but I had heard that she was based on an extinct species of wolf, so I guessed it was based on that. I had heard Tenshi's original name before but was kicking myself cause I couldn't remember for this. Never heard of Luna being the 'most youkai-like fairy' so I guessed maybe it was cause she was a bit more reserved and slightly(?) less childish then the others, the moon connection makes sense though. I knew Eirin was based on a god because I'd previously heard discussion about how you can use that to connect her to other characters, but there is no way I was ever remembering the name 'Ame no Yagokoro Omoikane no Mikoto'. The only thing I could recall about the location of the Dragon Palace was that it was under the sea, so my answer was about the same as the AI's. I swore I read through all of SoPM, must have just forgotten that bit.

[@GensouChronicle]

To be fair, I think Omoikane is a sufficient answer for Eirin. And, for the dragon palace, it's understandable since this was the post section spoken directly by ZUN.

[@rebeccathumb9584]

god i love your videos, a touhou channel that actually knows lore... holy crap btw why did you blow up so hard about it saying luna can manipulate sound waves? muting sound is close enough, right? lol

[@GensouChronicle]

It was more because it tried to say the same about Byakuren, despite it being Kyouko's ability. I suppose it's still in line with her ability to a degree.

[@lucds25]

I lose everything in "Sakuya's Pad"

[@corbeauwrite]

That was fun, the Sakuya Pad, as a dead meme, was still funny here x)

[@GensouChronicle]

Ironically enough, yeah.

[@Wolfkie]

10/20. For someone who only plays LostWord and sky drift, I think that’s pretty good. One of the questions I got right was a lunatic one so I think that’s good.

[@GensouChronicle]

Not bad!

[@vashman01]

I asked it about Clownpiece and where she got her outfit from. It didn't know and I had to correct it. It was like oh yeah, you're right, thanks.

[@GensouChronicle]

Yeah, my friend corrected it on how to pronounce Cirno. He had me ask it afterward separately and it got it right!

[@plutoniumpie5597]

Got the Kagerou's Dress, Akyuu's Age, and TORIFUNE questions wrong. But hey, now I know! Very entertaining video, I got a good laugh from the Remi Pet question. The visualizations of the AI's blunders are very nice!

[@GensouChronicle]

Glad you enjoyed it! My artist does those custom drawings for me. His Twitter is in the description if you're curious.

[@Nicholas-or7df]

16/20. Didn't remember the exact age of Akyuu and the exact year of the Barrier, only vaguely (+20 years for one and in the second half of the 19th century for the other), also didn't remember the dress inspiration and the palace one.

[@GensouChronicle]

Nice job!

[@mikubrot]

gotta love how they were super confident and good on the easy and normal but immediately fell off from hard fowards

[@klabence]

Same as AI, got the easy and medium ones right. Thought, after you mentioned the chupacabra, I did remember it.

[@murasakibebeby3127]

Nah. Sakuya's pad is CLEARLY the superior answer. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mark009vn]

marisa has a house? I thought all this time she lives in the woods, as in, in a cave somewhere like an animal.

[@GensouChronicle]

Lmao. I think some characters treat her like she does.

[@camuOJ]

Great video as always! btw if you keep using the same *chat channel* it will start using information from the other questions, that’s the reason why the bot referenced the sound wave ability twice and the dragon god twice. You should of created another chat everytime you asked it a new question but love seeing new uploads from you man! keep it coming!❤

[@GensouChronicle]

Yeah. I also learned I can correct it when it gets answers wrong. Which is pretty cool.

[@Beepers559]

I swear I never knew Luna child was the most “youkai-like” fairy, I thought she was just different for being able to actually read (hence why she’s my favorite fairy alongside clownpiece and lily white. And with her being the most youkai-like I would’ve thought she would be stronger than other fairies… even if by a little)

[@Kaurv]

got 16/20 wooo (also, good taste for Q21, I absolutely adore when she appears with glasses a couple times in forbidden scrollery)

[@GensouChronicle]

Congrats! And yeah, the AI really loves her.

[@rendyy_9]

only get 10/20, im kinda baffled with all of these hard and lunatic questions but the wrong answers from the ai are so funny lmao also tiny little adiantum in the last parts of the video :o

[@GensouChronicle]

I wanted those difficulties to live up to their name, after all.

[@Sonicfalcon16]

9:30 I've noticed anything with this animation style is designed for crying your eyes out music video

[@ailius1520]

23:00 Wow...the AI is so smart it unraveled the Moriya Shrine Conspiracy.

[@Sonicfalcon16]

22:50 alpha route for the boss Yachie Kicchou for Wily Beast and Weakest Creature

[@freedomish3420]

I got 15/20. Strangely I got almost all the hard questions wrong and all but the last lunatic question right. I had Gensokyo's creation at 1888. Also, I never knew that about Kagerou's dress.

[@GensouChronicle]

Fun fact: A lot of characters have clothes with cool origins. Kagerou's was the one I went with because I love her.

[@joeped2210]

wow the q14 was wild very wild

[@HollowM0th]

my day has been horrible but the whole “sakuya’s pad” part made me bust out laughing LOL my day is no longer horrible!

[@GensouChronicle]

Glad to hear it. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

[@duykhangtran4406]

So the only one I don't know at all is the Kagero dress. I vaguely remember the time period the barrier was made and the Luna one too

[@TealComet]

I got a 12/20, or 60% :D When I saw the answer to the question about the Dragon Statue of the Human Village, it reminded me of Zhang Heng's seismoscope.

[@Hijiri_MIRACHION]

I've tried to get it to do Touhou in the past, and while it does seem to know some basic things, it certainly doesn't seem to be aware of some things. Then again, I've gotten a few stories from it that call Reimu and Marisa youkai and I tried to do a story about Cirno as a Lovely Tomboyish Girl, but it seemingly didn't get it at first (though this may be me being too vague to it). Later games specifically aren't very well represented, and in my experience, eventually it starts to break once you get to UFO/TD and onwards.

[@GensouChronicle]

The lack of information on later games makes sense. Even now, Touhou 6 domination is still pretty prevalent despite some of these games approaching 20 years old.

[@kurisudeiru]

I love how the AI added a lot of padding when answering what Sakuya Izayoi's ability is. Seriously, just the first sentence is enough.

[@azulia888]

Great video concept ! As a suggestion for a question, I’d ask : How is hell organized and what is Hecatia LapisLazuli’s relation to it ? (basically Aya’s interview with Hecatia and PoFV lore). I expect it to fail since it’s recent~ish info, but who knows ! You could also try that quizz with other AIs like the one from microsoft, just to see who’s the best weeb ^^

[@GensouChronicle]

Nice ideas. Thanks.

[@appleando752]

I've been a fan of the games since 2017, but I've only recently started to get Normal 1CCs this decade (1 and 3 were flukes when I first started. but now I have 2-7, 7.5, 15.5, and 17.5 under my belt) I am not a lore buff, nor have I read any of the mangas yet. My results: Q1: Me: Gensokyo✅ AI: Gensokyo✅ Q2: Me: Remilia ✅ AI: Remilia ✅ Q3: Me: A magical barrier✅ AI: A magical barrier ✅ Q4: Me: Time Stop✅ AI: The ability to stop time ✅ Q5: Me: Ice Fairy. Also the self proclaimed strongest fairy✅ AI: Ice Fairy✅ goes in a different (wrong) direction at the end Q6: Me: Forest of Magic✅ AI: Forest of Magic✅ Q7: Me: I though she was born immortal❌ AI: Hourai Elixir✅ Q8: Me: Unable to read minds✅ AI: Unable to read minds✅ Q9: Me: Layla (This is one of the few lore rabbit holes I dug into on the wiki)✅ AI: Layla✅ Q10: Me: I haven't encountered Byakuren yet, but I'm gonna guess Buddhism.✅(12 is the one mainline game I do not own on Steam) AI: Buddhism✅ Q11: Me: I know she's in her 20's. I'm gonna guess 24❌ AI: 12-14❌ Q12: Me: (mistakenly thinks of Kaguya) It's based off of the tale of the bamboo cutter❌ AI: Hakama ❌ Q13: Me: I have no info on the Human Village ❌ AI: Wards off evil spirits❌ (So that's why Mima hasn't reappeared) Q14: Me: You know that terrible arena fighting game Touhou Kobuto V? She has a pet Yukuri in that. I know that isn't her real pet because Yukuri don't exist in Canon. I got nothing. That game is bad, don't play it.❌ AI: Sakuya's Pad❌... I know my answer was bad, but this is even worse! Q15: Me: No Answer❌ AI: No Answer❌ Q16: Me: No Answer❌ AI: Moon mapping❌ Q17: Me: No Answer❌ AI: Appearance❌ Q18: Me: I don't know Shinto❌ AI: Yakushi Nyorai❌ Q19: Me: No Answer❌ AI: Pacific Ocean❌ Q20: Me: 1885✅ AI: 19th Century ✅-ish (I'll reward half a point) My score being 10/20 is better than I expected to do. The AI getting 10.5/20 is worse than I expected it to do. Q21: Rinnosuke✅

[@segasonic4352]

i got everything on easy and normal, got some wrong on hard and on lunatic i only knew the last question it was hilarious to see the illustrations of some of these questions

[@Sonicfalcon16]

8:12 theres a 4th?
