LLS Mugetsu's Theme: Illusion of a Maid ~ Icemilk Magic

This is Mugetsu's theme from Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story
Is she a milkmaid or something? And what the firetruck is icemilk? Ice cream? Ah well, she doesn't look as innocent as she sounds...
NOTE: I apologize for Gengetsu's legs in the background, I couldn't edit them out :'(

[@RespecttehPixel]

My headcanon: Mugetsu created the Dream World (the same Dream World we know in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom), and has the ability to manipulate dreams (different from Doremy Sweet, who can eat and create dreams, Mugetsu is able to change them, but she usually has good intentions). Her sister, Gengetsu, has the ability to manipulate nightmares. I predict that if the Getsu sisters were to return, they would be redesigned quite a bit, and I'd imagine Gengetsu would look a bit scarier to emphasize the nightmare motif.

[@werewook]

But it is specifically stated that the world the player is in is "Gengetsu's World". So Gengetsu probably created it, not Mugetsu. Mugetsu is just a lowly servant!

[@RespecttehPixel]

[@yumemisstrawberryjam6759]

*[Maid]* MUGETSU Mugetsu (夢月) is the first Extra Stage boss of Lotus Land Story and possibly the creator of a mysterious dream world. She appears to be dressed as a maid of some sort, but according to the music comments of her theme "Illusion of a Maid ~ Icemilk Magic" in Lotus Land Story, she is probably not a maid. (from TouhouWiki) ZUN's comment about the track: "The younger sister, Mugetsu's, theme. Somehow, she looks like a maid. This is a pretty cool song, isn't it? Even though it's short. (Because it's short?) Well, in any case, it turned out to be a pretend-maid song like this."

[@redandwhiteshrinemaiden7432]

[@odditykid7898]

Here's some food for thought. Gengetsu's Rape Time may be the most painful attack in all of Touhou, but in all Touhou lore we've seen before, the younger sister is stronger, as shown by Minoriko, Koishi, Flandre, etc. Gengetsu is the older sister. Think of what Mugetsu could have done to you if she wanted.

[@metabunny7693]

CascadeCondemned Except those younger siblings live in Gensokyo, while Mugetsu and Gengetsu don't, so Gengetsu is probably the stronger one. Also I think the older sibling of the Watatsuki sisters is the stronger one so I don't think every younger sibling in Touhou is automatically the stronger one.

[@odditykid7898]

Meta Bunny Fair point.

[@GarryDumblowski]

Nobody seems to realize that Mugetsu can go rape time as well.

[@odditykid7898]

If she does, she's pretty damn good at hiding it, because I haven't seen her do that in any video, and I probably defeated her before she could when I played.

[@GarryDumblowski]

Oddity Kid Really? Just watch Jaimers' pacifist run of LLS extra. Also, I've actually seen her do it herself even while going all out on her. Maybe you're just better than me, idk
