Danmakufu - Koishi Heck

If you've ever seen the infamous Koishi Hell 1 and 2 by puremrz, then you know the kind of horror Koishi can inflict. In this entry to the RaNGE #14 contest on the Maidens of the Kaleidoscope forum, I bring to you an homage and unofficial sequel to the famous scripts. This time, it's Sanae's turn to face the horrors of the subconscious!

[@duchessnoor]

"OH NO! What have I done?! I killed myself!" I love that line so much

[@GarryDumblowski]

I only have one thing wrong with this script. That being that the spells are actually _good._

[@dantpointy436]

Garry Dumblowski? Can't have a proper Koish hell without them

[@RadiantAeon]

It's because it was for a contest.

[@GarryDumblowski]

The Plus-Minus Complex Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks.

[@bensoncheung2801]

555 👍

[@precisecalibre6986]

KOISHI = VERY YES

[@steveluvscows2490]

That's not a good prize!

[@Coldeyeceylce]

(￣ヘ￣;)

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

_"Now I'm you, and you're me! Isn't this co- hey, HEY! Stop _*_that!_* ಠ‸ಠ💢 _"_

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

Think Koishi was messing with the comment section. Every line got clumped together and looked terrible. Love the scenes. Even how she pops in to be a distraction haha. With an adorable face like that, Koishi can distract me any day~!

[@MissingLure]

Moshi Moshi

[@GrahamChapman]

Heh, should've known that I'd find you here. xD

[@tabbender1232]

"Reimu left Gensokyo" That's not how it works though

[@AJSdanmakufu]

It's a reference to the first Koishi Hell ;P

[@Symos]

"Computer over"? "Koishi = very yes"? That's not a good prize! And danmakufu peed on my carpet.

[@jack8915]

Is danmaku Fu okay?

[@CHESTER_MUSICMAN]

Sanae, what's going on?

[@exumbra1399]

Have you been modding your game irresponsibly? No more irresponsibly than usual.

[@ImFangzBro]

Did you get a Koishi? Uh, no... Did you get 400,000 Koishis? Yes! VERY YES!

[@feztroutthetripledeluxefan]

Well, hurry up and do something before it gets worse! [Turns into a card and flies away]

[@mordesto94]

Reimu words:" I dont want live in this planet anymore. " Then LOLK starts. Amazing Script

[@MarisaMagicannon955]

True

[@lyrica-live]

The expositions are always nearly as entertaining as the actual danmaku, which is saying a lot. I'm not sure whether you or Koishi is the true greatest master of mindscrewing. Every last psychological danmaku concept is mind-blowingly clever and well-done, geez. @v@ "Tsundere Sign" made me giggle with the cleverness right off the bat, and it only got better from there.

[@s24xuanzhengyu39]

Lyrica live! I like your works!

[@s24xuanzhengyu39]

They are awsome

[@micoto5290]

Why are you here

[@Alb410]

koishi is touhous deadpool

[@Zeckmon3]

Eeeyyyup basically

[@Shark_Sage_Neramitas]

she's also like Bill Cipher in a few ways, the eyes, the mind warping, the mystery, the old fashioned clothing.

[@andrewnguyen1117]

Miracle Anymore reason why I should like her more?

[@4ELt774]

Yes

[@carbon6111]

Random Person: "Zun, I don't think I can find Reimu, Marisa or Sanae anywhere." Zun: "What do you mean!?!" Random Person: "I searched all over the place, I can't find them!" Zun: "Fuck! I guess Sakuya, Youmu and Reisen will be starring in the next game." *Meanwhile* Sakuya: "Good job Koishi, here is your payment." Koishi: "Doing businesses with you is great!" *Few Minutes Later* Clownpiece: "Koishi, I have a deal to make..."

[@AJSdanmakufu]

+Carbon61 Sakuya shouldn't be so eager to work with Koishi. If she were to strike again, Sakuya would be the next target >:V

[@carbon6111]

AJS Koishi heck 2?

[@carbon6111]

***** Because she isn't playable? And most likely never will.

[@lashimarusanade]

+Carbon61 Well actually, she were, but that is no longer canon

[@phantasmforte3868]

+Carbon61 I find it kinda fascinating that almost every playable character has been a Stage 5 boss before. (I'm not certain about Aya, I don't remember if she was the Stage 5 boss in PoFV or not, but I'm pretty sure.)

[@katrinatheinsane6869]

"I seriously wonder what would happen if Koishi suddenly took control of the players body and replaced control to hers... that'd be pretty cool to see in a danmakufu game... I wonder what would happen if the player actually attacked their own body though..." *5 minutes in* "I FORESAW THIS!"

[@ExoticDestroyer8530]

*KOREGA, KINGU CRIMSON NO NOROYKU!!!*

[@Niiue]

ExoticDestroyer8530 EPITAPHU

[@lukasi6688]

Amazing. It just got more and more awesome towards the end. I found the Center of Attraction spellcard very creepy. I also thought the Retrograde Amnesia would be a boring danmaku spam spellcard but NOPE, it got epic. The Role Reversal wasn't as merciless as a certain Seija's danmakufu script, and that last spellcard was silly, as expected from you. This script was glorious. It was exceptionally exciting to watch.

[@hleghe810]

Lord Folding Fan Messing with the fourth wall is fun

[@dirtkiller23]

I actually want to see something like this in official games,2hus are powerful usually,so the fourth wall isn't that strong for them. (Still i hate Sukuna's 5th spellcard)

[@Jose_ManuelS18]

*IMA BECOME YOUR NIGHTMARE* Attention not Attraction

[@AgentSapphire]

At first i was just kinda meh about the script. Didn't look as hard as Koishi Hell 2 but then... well... It just.. it... I... It's perfect. It's just perfect in every way.

[@Ephydament]

I LOVE this script. Maybe one's of the best entries of the contest (with the Renko script). Thanks for using my Sanae in a such good script.

[@PsclKmn]

MY MIND HAS BEEN BROKEN! Yet another amazing script though, could it be Koishi is one of your favourite characters?

[@AJSdanmakufu]

Pas K She's definitely become ONE of my favorites lately! But I wanted to do this because Koishi spells are so fun to design--there are so many possibilities.

[@Rougealienpirate]

AJS Needed more Mansokue

[@AJSdanmakufu]

***** NO

[@thettbd]

***** B-but, that's too insane for this script! ...Right?

[@w00tcake]

A Koishi Hell homage? I feel honored!

[@AJSdanmakufu]

+w00tcake I should be the one feeling honored, seeing as how the original creator has now seen my horrible abomina- I mean creation :D

[@ivatigerfox2548]

8:14 But... that third eye was sown shut, AJS

[@user-nx9xf5tv9x]

It was unsown?

[@Madguys101]

This "Center of Attention"spellcard is actually quite well thought I'm impressed

[@elfmonster3082]

best part was the role reversal , final spell and "mima th15" simply amazing script

[@galecrystal3792]

"Hey! I needed those!!!" ..Sanae forgot that Koishi is utterly bomb-proof..

[@EneDC]

They clear her bullets off the screen though. Also, Reisen's bombs have boss-immunity-resist, not that it matters right now

[@CreepyNinja]

Amazing, just amazing. Nothing else to say. I've played this on Lunatic, Pacifist, and I've seen one minor bug: Reverse mode of Retrograde Amnesia is endless. Anyway, good job. Waiting for Hoishi Heck 2 (if you would like to make this ;))

[@HarmonicaPresents]

Why is that Tsundere spell the cutest spell I've ever seen?

[@ZXNovaBoom]

Attack of the HUD... We HRtP now?

[@ivatigerfox2548]

1:45 TRAUMA sign?!!? Really? Koishi's spells by itself are enough to give a person trauma!!

[@awe9217]

Nishikata Byakko-kun The trauma sign bullets were from the other characters Koishi fucked up

[@ivatigerfox2548]

Alinol Kreany makes sense

[@dantpointy436]

I love it Can't wait for your next script

[@DeltaEpsilon7787]

- Koishi uses mind-fuck. It's super effective! - Fladrilla has been defeated, rejoice! - Now, the hero proceeds to sodomize her nemesis' dead body. - But Koishi... - Shhh... corpses don't talk

[@DopeioThePhoneBoi]

eyy

[@zop_isreal4066]

Oh god not tarmo flake

[@luisangel8729]

Genius work, really! congrats.

[@4ELt774]

*“I can’t have you saving a replay of this evidence”* This guy: For KZbin

[@Sagaci]

That reverse laser sound effect is still my absolute favorite. IT JUST SOUNDS SO COOL

[@Lennily]

Wow, I totally lost the sense of reality watching this script, really nice! Specially that last spellcard, what a strange thing to see, and also funny! Oh my, that part when they went to the Menu xD Incredible, of course one of the best Danmafuku I've ever seen!

[@Mr._Sherwood]

You absolute madman. I'll admit, you fooled me with the 1-ups. And the bit at the end was just brilliant.

[@jackeea_]

I had a similar idea to the Role Reversal spell card; one where you get to play as the boss! Absolutely loved the idea, even though it basically was "timeout danmaku that's similar to players' attacks"

[@Danomnomnom]

Ohmygod, that was incredible. The Koishi silliness was completely out of the window, and... Well. No words, really. Also swooce.

[@thettbd]

I love how the timer changes to 666 at 4:39.

[@AJSdanmakufu]

+The Terrible Bullet Dodger That was actually leftover from a quick and lazy fix I tried to do for the reversing spell card while I was first working on it. When Koishi freezes time and makes the timer start counting up, the timer would briefly revert to its "default value" (which was 000). This bothered me but I wasn't sure how to fix it, so I just set the timer's default value to 666 so I could make people think this glitch was intentional. But later on I managed to fix the problem, but I ended up leaving that default value in anyway. Then when that spell ends, the next spell has already technically begun--I had set the timer for that spell absurdly high because the player controls the pace of that spell, and before the timer retreats offscreen, it can't comprehend the high value I set for it, so it just defaults to the 666 value I put in earlier. So yeah, a whole paragraph explaining one tiny little in-joke xP

[@thettbd]

AJS :P

[@locomokuu2471]

Wow. This is some of the most impressive scripting I've seen around KZbin! +1 subscriber!

[@CodeyTorrence10]

Hey look! I'm distracting you!

[@hanss3147]

Koishi opened her third eye! Satori must be so proud.

[@oddwright7913]

nothing but the best youtubers for music

[@BiFoxxo]

You are now my favorite scripter. XD

[@DryTheMeowstic]

The final spell and ending though. This is pure gold.

[@Bravidunno]

DryTheMeowstic Her third eye is open ! =O

[@DarkCT]

0_0. this. is brilliant. meta to the nth degree. seriously, this was beautifully done. iniatially im like "oh. i rememebr stuff like that from playing the series. to "holy crap. manipulation of interface from center of attention to that AMAZING interface screw finale. the sequence with the reversed perspective were also amazing. but that ending.. Koishi not only is 100% metaaware, but saw YOU? uhm. OTHER koishi fanworks popped into my head. i backed up from the screen.

[@xpoppy8745]

Another amazing script! I also heard somewhere you won the competition!

[@radiancedelta5194]

The googly eyes that shoot lasers. No mater which character it is, it always looks so stupid and I love it for that reason. I can’t help but laugh. Really creative script, and really cool spell cards

[@BrownCake69]

I'll stop by for a cupcake, okay?" show sayori at h11 s 4r "Yes! Let's go~!"

[@darkkijin]

To be honest, this might be better than Koishi Hell 2... I'm really loving this script!

[@SonicAndTailsHD]

NOOO!! MY PRECIOUS FOURTH WALL!! WHERE DID YOU GOOOOOO?!

[@kero232]

Watching this, I got the urge to atch some kind of movie, you know, fanfic, on this style.

[@awe862]

Oh god I can't wait for Ozzie to play this. Amazing script as always.

[@AJSdanmakufu]

Ori He already did! And his reactions were priceless: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o56yoaGmpd97icUm15s

[@Sevilou]

this is too good

[@bitterballx847]

Sometimes fans do better than originals. Thanks for sharing!!

[@Ataxaos]

During "Retrograde Amnesia", I was thinking that it's suspiciously straight-forward... I couldn't have been more wrong. Kudos to you!

[@kolonmelon8173]

stop breaking the 4th wall goddammit

[@ryuji4076]

This is very epic

[@excalibursystem]

This.is.GOLD!

[@mariosonicfan2010]

Well, that was... ...An experience. I didn't even know this kinda thing was possible.

[@slowkole]

this is art

[@touhouguyII]

This one is also going to be an LP!

[@bobcat159]

I'm so happy this wasn't an entire troll script. Everything was so creative and reminiscent of koishi.

[@BlackBeartic229]

+Allie Jensen I lost my brain at koishi hell 2. I guess this is my way of recovering.

[@zackerhia914]

Koishi being a joyful little troll, i love it so much, it's within there goofy childish nature. i wanna see more and probably play as koishi

[@destrodevil6975]

*FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONFUSED* That "1UP" was actually a bullet DO NOT CATCH.

[@Mark3nd]

Luigi: Okie dokie *Catch .....*

[@vrlandt]

You should really think about making a sequel to this one

[@superplushtiman7ti075]

Mind Swap “Role Reversal” actually should be some actual spell card.

[@atNguyen-jd7hs]

great

[@LimeCultivist]

Creative stuff

[@segasonic4352]

koishi = very yes this is wonderful

[@taprusthe3rd496]

That final attack made me laugh way more than it should have lol

[@Jimmy--Little]

Center of Attention is just the final attack in the Rabi Ribi DLC

[@xR1n02]

*Best ending ever*

[@kusochekcat7953]

Perfect....

[@shima_galera]

honestly it'd kinda make sense for koishi to break the fourth wall

[@DeltaRoz]

jesus christ this takes breaking the fourth wall to a new level

[@angelpradocalderon3983]

Ngl this reallu illustrates Koishi's ability pretty well

[@22dolls19]

0:38 - When you misread "Kanako" as "Hanako" and then asking yourself why Sanae has the toilet ghost as her friend

[@Mr._Sherwood]

How the flying fuck do you make these as good as they are? Witchcraft. Sorcery. Bloody amazing.

[@AJSdanmakufu]

Lots and lots of practice :'D

[@AttisSoul]

Well that is a level of 4th wall breaking i never seen before xD

[@PlutiaHeart]

I remember pitching something similar to the interface screw card to a danmakufu irc place quite a long time ago. I don't know if this is what got you to make that card but I don't care because it's way better than what I had had in mind Also holy shit that Koishi sprite is adorable.

[@htfkid2000]

Koishi Komeiji Aren't you the same guy from Raocow's video comments?

[@PlutiaHeart]

I comment on them sometimes!

[@Mr._Sherwood]

This was actual genius. Some fun spells, Koishi's dialogue was bloody hilarious, and Role Reversal was the mindfuck to end all mindfucks.

[@Mr._Sherwood]

*SWOOCE~*

[@lemonolon]

I missed the time when i was new to this fandom and thought this was from the original game :)

[@fcantil]

That's me rn, I thought this was real lmao

[@Carlosk12]

Honestly great script, you should make a script where we play as the yokai like the section where Koishi does the mind swap thing, or even recreate the boss battles but the player playing as the Yokai with a health bar

[@Badbadgerboy]

Where did the 4th wall go?
