4:42 *Tome of Flame "The Red Dragon"* [焔書「赤い竜」 Ensho "Akai Ryuu"] _The Red Dragon, also known as "the Grand Grimoire," is a famous book of black magic suggested to have been written in the Early 19th Century as an instruction manual on how to summon demons and make deals with the Devil. Much of the material in this tome is derived from entries in the Key of Solomon._ 5:38 *Ice Fiend "The Pale Horse"* [凍魔「青ざめた馬」 Touma "Aozameta Uma"] _The Pale Horse is the ghoulish steed used by Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Book of Revelations: Chapter 6, Verses 7-8); also the title of a 1961 Agatha Christie novel._ 6:29 *Key Complaints "The Black Pullet"* [訴鍵「黒い雌鳥」 Soken "Kuroi Mendori"] _The Black Pullet (La poule noir), also known as "La poule aux œufs d'or (The Hen that Lays Golden Eggs)," is another black magic grimoire that teaches the art of necromancy, the Kabbalah, and the science of magical rings and talismans, written in the 18th Century by an anonymous French soldier who served in Napoleon's army._ 6:57 *Daikon "Yellow Pickled Radishes"* [大根「黄色いたくあん」 Daikon "Kiiroi Takuan"] _...Really, JynX?! _*_Again_*_ with the daikon radishes?!_ 😅 7:32 *Shatter Sign "Broken Necro Heart"* [砕符「ブロークンネクロハート」 Saifu "Burookun Nekuro-Haato"] 8:02 *Delicious Flavor "Sashimi of Fugu"* [美味「サシミオブフグ」 Bimi "Sashimi obu Fugu"] _Puffer fish (河豚 fugu) are notorious for their sharp spikes and toxicity, but when prepared by specialized expert chefs who can tell what parts of the fish are edible and how much, thinly-sliced raw puffer meat (河豚サシミ fugu-sashimi) has become quite the popular Japanese delicacy!_

[@ZinfulSD]

3:40, that's a nice nod at Alice's appearance in PCB

[@transientimages]

JynX was always good at mixing the past with the present in these remakes. Like how Shinki seems to imitate Byakuren in Devils Recitaiton, a spell that references Shinki.

That Alice in Wonderland rendition is the embodiment of pure beauty wtf

[@RenanMMz]

I really like how Jinx engine's games always have a mark on the left side of the screen for the PoC height, specially when it's a game with mechanics that can lower it.

[@popfan95b]

Actually, that only applies to Re: MS and Re: LLS. It's not in Re: SoEW, nor is it in any of the Len'en games or that Touhou game with BPoHC's engine.

[@RenanMMz]

I could swear I had seen it in the Len'en, I must be playing too many Danmakufus lul

[@UnalloyedMalenia]

Spells noted in order : Red sign: Queen's Ocean of Fires Blue sign: Rabbit's Walls of Ice Violet sign: Cat of Endless Tails Danger sign: In the Snake Nest Bare-Footed Into the Rabbit Hole Storming the Wonderland These should be the names of spellcards! Edit: spelling

[@Dreigonix]

Clever! I never even thought about doing an Alice in Wonderland theme for my name ideas... Does anyone know the actual translated names of the Spell Cards, though?

[@user-ee7oe1mt2q]

敵が出てこない時に曲のリズムに乗るからわらうw

[@GeekyGami]

So it isn't just me, the infinity sign is incredibly enjoyable to do while playing these games

[@EasternStory]

Len'en 3's "Prime Minister in Black Robes" literally makes you do it, and its coincidentally the same creator as these remakes~

[@alys_town]

I just noticed something, when the player gets to Alice in Mystic Square, It's the same as the beginning of stage 3 in Perfect Cherry Blossom.

[@TheLunaticRaven]

I love how at some points the player would just start shooting in time with the music.

[@tenmusuitokuin4044]

He is making two danmaku games concurrently; "Evanescent Existance" and "Earthen Miraculous Sword" which are things you might be looking forward to.

[@JunkyX1122]

Tenmu Suitokuin *looking at Jynx now* My my..Things have changed

[@SonicSlash51]

She was still a human then. She got so powerful that she is now a yokai.

[@wdg2384]

Nope, in the PC-98 Era she was ALREADY a Youkai Witch.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Awesome

[@ShiroiFunBun]

Ohhhh! Yes!

[@KnakuanaRka]

You know, I’ve heard a lot of people say that this Alice looks nothing like post-98 Alice, but not only that, the boss fight doesn’t look similar either. Not only do we not see any dolls, but the general usage of specific colors and bullet types give the spells some powerful imagery that actually makes this look more like Patchouli with her element-based spell cards than Alice. Heck, here’s some elemental spellcard names off the top of my head: 4:23 Fire Sign: Burning Updraft 4:43 Fire and Earth Sign: Magma Tunnel (or Fire Sign: Phoenix Wings) 5:16 Water Sign: Freezing Rain 5:40 Water and Metal Sign: Quicksilver Mirror 6:06 Fire and Metal Sign: Shining Sword (or Fire and Water Sign: Light Refraction) 6:31 Fire and Air Sign: Cloudbreak Beams 6:57 Earth Sign: Tangled Undergrowth 7:31 Earth and Air Sign: Dust Storm 8:02 Five Elements Sign: Ceremony of the Cycle of Elements

[@television3272]

these are pretty cool spellcard names :] though id guess she just ditches the dolls at a point (in MS, she appears as a stage 3 boss where said dolls are present the entire fight)

[@pakulu98]

Yuuka is a theif just like marisa. According to slice she has the ultimate magic and according to zun yuuka learned the ultimate magic from someone after beating the mystic square cast. So that's why yuuka Is one of the strongest charecters in this game.

[@Larserr]

[@shunsiya1350]

you know listening to these PC-90 touhou music remixes has this certain powerful feel to them, compared to the newer touhou musics, wish i ZUN could do it : )

[@chocolat6666]

I doubt my attempts to convince the witch would be truly interesting; she'd probably shrug it off. I wonder, though... She seems like the kind if person that is proud and reckless enough to attack really strong youkais to prove her strength. Which she did quite a lot of time. And succeeded to defeat them. *chuckles*

[@remmeidops44]

リメイクだと！？公式にソフトとしても良いぐらいだ！3DSにも東方のソフト出してくれー！

[@exploshaun]

I swear if the real extra stage was this easy I would have a better chance against Alice.

[@charliechumbuck9356]

Me too.

[@craftymage5996]

@Yuuka Kazami Your not hiding your crazy behind that smile very well anymore.

[@jq1790]

Probably the artist giving homage to the fact that yes, this Alice is the same character as Windows Alice, even if the PC-98 stuff is all but irrelevant in ZUN's eyes, plot-wise.

[@morganite123]

wow, that is insane, nice job

[@NicksNameGoesHere]

It would be awesome if the April fool's joke was that Lotus Land Story: RE and Mystic Square: RE are actual games he's been developing, but just making them out to be fake. However, that's probably just me hoping deep in my heart that one day I'll actually have PC-98 games in a modern style.

[@chocolat6666]

Probably because only you, one of the most powerful youkai in all of Gensokyo, are able to defeat Alice with her Grimoire. The others wouldn't have lasted a minute.

[@macaronchocolate2961]

たくあんw

[@AJSdanmakufu]

Similar to ZUN's "Next ______" messages, I think it's their way of saying "Until next time!"

[@chocolat6666]

That's... an excellent point actually. So... either I run for my life or I welcome death with open arms... Bah, with Mima, I doubt running would work, being a spirit she'd never get tired. I think I'll go make my testimony now. Unless something could make you change your mind? I doubt it, since as a human, I don't have much to offer, but still, asking (probably) can't hurt right?

Oh, that's clever, thank you x3

I know, I was just referring to "script" as a game, not in danmakufu terms.

[@Gonya_Nyanya]

I like how it says that this is the 7th Touhou Project game when it's obviously the 5th.

[@octapusxft]

it seems strange if the original uploader of the video did not posted where he got the i so far music from So far I only found that the one who claims to having made the remaster of the stage them is DaughterOfWhite in youtube but no lack with the battle theme yet

[@Gotonis]

Yeah, the bosses even have the same name and hair color!

[@hoques1432]

Now, is this an actual game that can be downloaded or "just a video" by the artist? I am confused.

[@barrick725]

this was made as an april fools joke by Jinx, who remakes the extra stage to a pc-98 games to bait everyone into qqing over how much they want this to be real

[@Daedelous2k]

Little Disappointed at the name of the final spellcard, I thought it would contain a reference to Hibachi, whom is the original user of the pattern, albiet it used it far more fiercely.

[@chocolat6666]

...Come to think about it, I think no amount of money could convince her to confront Mima. She seems like she'd be way too lazy to do that. I guess the best person against her would be her former student, that blond haired witch in the forest of magic. Didn't she steal one of your strongest spell?

[@Palkia1007]

Because is the same person. Alice Margatroid.

[@Heppoko_K]

た……たくあん？？

[@chocolat6666]

Indeed, I'm sure you've face worse than this. I must however admit I'm curious of what would happen if Alice was the use her Grimoire again, with her current mastery of puppetry. Of course, disregarding Mima was not my goal... I wouldn't want to get on her bad side, that would be shortening my life span dramatically. I hold admiration for both of you, but you'll always remain my favorite. Just... please don't tell her I said that.

[@chocolat6666]

I believe I should go now. I apologize for those misconceptions of mine, it appears humans and youkais truly were not meant to socialize. Have a nice decade- Since I doubt a day is much for you.

[@chocolat6666]

I'm probably just going to run to that red-white shrine maiden then. I mean, who else knows how to deal with an evil spirit better than her?

[@Detonexploder]

They are all based on Grimoires or stories or something. I don't know much of the culture behind Grimoires and old spells, so don't ask further on xD.

[@CorpseTongji]

1:16 His stuff is usually pretty mind-blowing, but those red things were pretty obviously carpets in the original, not stairs. o _ o

どことなく西方感がある気がするのは 私だけかしら

[@Mxnecromancer]

those cheeto's seem WAY more intense then I remembered from the original game O_o

[@chocolat6666]

Indeed, it is a low blow to attack someone that is sleeping, especially for no reason. But then again, maybe I wasn't talking about that particular event~ Her other ''victims'' includes the creator of Makai, a powerful vampire, the princess of the netherworld, an immortal lunar princess, a few goddesses, an hell raven with the power of nuclear fusion, etc... Although, I must say, you seem to get on the defensive rather quickly upon a mention of this witch. Could it be you're afraid of her~?

[@chocolat6666]

It certainly would be very impressive to witness. I wonder who between the two would win. I would bet on Mima, but I'm not totally sure.

[@Lanzeon]

At the end of the credits of the original it said Next Dream

[@CorpseTongji]

So fucking glad the cheese poof lasers stayed the fuck in Mystic Square. I'd had enough of those by the time I finished fighting Mai and Yuki.

[@finalheaven3867]

That's fucking awesome O_O...Why not make it a new version of MS now ?...

[@pakulu98]

Also Moses's miracle is a copy of alices old attack which Is named after a spell Heck alice and shinki have a lot that they were copied off from. For example alice had bullet border barrier thing that is similar to shikeiki warps and shinki had a bullet pattern extreamely similar to devils reincarnation from byakuren.

[@BumFace555]

For some reason the theme reminds me of Castlevania
