PoDD Mima's Theme: Reincarnation

This is Mima's theme from Touhou 3: Phantasmagoria of Dim. (Dimensional) Dream
Mimaaaaa~
She's been in what, 3 games now?? Seriously? I guess ZUN really was kinda stuck for ideas... either that or Mima is just really awesome. Oh God she better not be in Ten Desires...

[@dirtkiller23]

Hardware limitations never stopped ZUN at creating good songs.

[@rinnosukemorichika1196]

Oh, but she _did_ come back. She was reincarnated as a girl by the name "Marisa Kirisame."

[@GrahamChapman]

@@hairmonster Yes, and did you notice how Marisa's entire design and personality got completely reworked after the shift to Windows? Marisa is now more Mima than she is PC98!Marisa... Honestly, _all_ PC98 characters that came back were reworked: Reimu's classic shrine maiden uniform was discarded in favour of her current iconic one; Yuuka got a haircut and became a flower youkai rather than a dream youkai and she also mellowed out considerably; Alice grew up, became a puppeteer and her connection to Makai hasn't been mentioned once in the Windows canon... Honestly, I dunno if I'd _want_ Mima to come back if she didn't do so as Mima!Classic... I think I'd rather remember her for who she was, rather than have her back as someone who's not the Mima I remember...

[@BruhPK]

There was a time where a single danmaku was enough to level houses, a barrage to tear up a landscape and spells that could very well flatten the ground and the sky in one. Those days have passed and those of such a high magnitude of prowess and extraordinary power lie dormant in the shadows. Gensokyo at one time had beings that could level mountains in the blink of an eye, a different culture where respect was favored more than love. Acquaintances abundunt with friends being a rare commodity in the harsher lifestyle that once existed. Such was life in Gensokyo when crazy things went on an entirely new level, even chaotic events we can never comprehend. These times ended when the Spellcard System thought up by the most recent Hakurei Shrinemaiden was brought into the current world we now see Gensokyo today. Many of those who were ultimately powerful could be dealt with by the weaker and insignificant creatures who were once dwarfed. So much has changed during these few decades and many mysteries never to be answered, beings disappearing without a trace and an entire race driven underground. But there will come another time when all of the past will rise from the ashes, sparks will burst into flames and flames will spread into a wildfire. A revolution that will cause a massive ripple within Gensokyo's very infrastructure. Many would find this threatening and no soon as change begins, war shall ignite and darkness will reign across the skies across a peaceful illusionary world. And when the ghosts of the past rise, there will be one that will be at the helm of it all. The one who will return as a force truly to be reckoned with, a former denizen of Makai's hellish realm with all but potential evil intent. And her name... Her name... is... *Madam Mima.*

[@PragmaticAntithesis]

Damn, now THAT is a final boss entrance! Bravo, excellent writing.

[@hifuu1383]

Everyone wants Mima to come back, and I'm just sitting here, hoping for Yuuka to come back.. I mean, she was in Phantasmagoria of flower view as a playable character, and that was a windows game.

[@Kirbachu5]

+A thalmor justiciar Yeah, honestly, I thought Yuuka was pretty awesome in PoFV. I think ZUN should more canonically distinguish her from Marisa, since most people know her for two Master Sparks, or a much large Master Spark, both of which Marisa has used, as Loving Heart "Double Spark" and Perverse Love "Easy-Harvest Master Spark". Perhaps she should be more distinguished in her ability to "grow" anything, be they plants, or, supposedly, even attacks. Therefore, I think Yuuka should be in a fighting game. Honestly, ZUN already pulled Fujiwara no Mokou out for 14.5, he could do the same for any previous characters. I sometimes wish ZUN would hold like a vote between 5 characters as to which one he should add.

[@jadeng.s.2549]

Tbh Yuuka should’ve been playable in EoSD, IN, and HSiFS.

[@winsonzhu4427]

@@jadeng.s.2549 not sure about the first two, but i agree with HSiFS - her windows title is flower master of FOUR SEASONS ffs, and Yuuka hopped up on seasonal energy sounds like an absolute nightmare. I'm honestly curious as to what she'd be up to. A random incident that also happens to power her up seems like the perfect time to go ahead and pick fights. Maybe she was picking fights elsewhere, and/or attempting stuff that would be stupidly suicidal for just about anyone else.

[@jadeng.s.2549]

Mima's theme makes me rethink about everything, even if touhou has its jokes here and there.

*[Spirit who leaves fate to the dream of eternity]* MIMA An evil spirit that resents the Hakurei Shrine, or used to. As she's been an evil spirit for quite a long time, her evilness has completely fallen off from her. Now she enjoys her days making fun of Reimu. She is like the deity (evil deity) of the Shrine by now, but her personality is more human-ish than human. As strange things are happening again, she is looking forward to more upcoming events. ZUN's comment about the track: "For those who don't know Mima, she was the last boss from the last game, Story of Eastern Wonderland. This time, she's not a boss or anything, just a normal character, so I tried not to make her theme song too badass... You know, I just don't get her personality at all. (Even though she's my own character *sweatdrop*) Well, what about the song. The melody for the main chorus part is very simple, but feels really nice... Doesn't it? (Maybe because it's simple?)"

[@Yuureiki]

If you guys want Mina back so much. Why don't you just create a fanmade touhou game or a texture patch? Maybe if you're lucky enough, ZUN might pay attention and add Mima back. EDIT: Maybe after ZUN add Mima back for atleast 3 games, he might return Mima back to the PC-98 era. Also, there's a slight chance of Mima returning for Touhou 16: HSiFS, and by slight chance i meant 0.8% chance. It would require a lot of luck to bring Mima back.

[@BruhPK]

Honestly, I think Madam Mima is waiting for a very specific time to make her return and her arrival will spark terror in the hearts of nearly every living being in Gensokyo. So let's keep waiting for her return... it will eventually come.

Blazing Burst The wiki says it's just a generic, unusually strong, divine spirit.

Marisa Aki yep

[@ZXNovaBoom]

Evil spirits don't or at least shouldn't exist in the netherworld anyway. Evil spirits reside in hell, the former hell, and the area around the geyser and opening to the former hell.

[@aluminiumbirch6800]

Alucard: No, it doesn't make sense you're stealing my own song! Mima: Dude, this is only part of your theme, so calm down lol.

[@toro2812]

Gotta love how everyone has high hopes for touhou 20 being the return of lunarian lore or Makai or Mima only going off 20 being a huge landmark for the series but in reality not only does ZUN not care about any of that but he's so fucking drunk that you might ask him in a couple of years time about Marisa and he'd actually go like "Who?"

[@lazydelibird]

I don't want Da Ze to become irrelevant. Especially since he just dropped some lore for her in 19 with the introduction of Enoko.

[@toro2812]

@@lazydelibird Oh he won't abandon marisa alright, but if anything, he might actually abandon the enoko plot point or leave it untouched for years just like he's doing with misumaru now so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

[@TeeTiro]

it feels like she would show up in touhou 19 for some reason

[@Dreigonix]

I believe that Mima will return when, and only when, it is time for the Touhou series to end. Let us pray that day never comes.

[@zawarudo596]

Let us pray that Mima comes back before that fam

[@TouhouForIdiots]

And then Yuuka appeared as a background character in HM. Also she actually appears semi-frequently in the mangas. She never _does_ anything, but she does appear. The reason she was introduced in PoFV according to some sources is apparently that Touhou was ending, so it makes sense that ZUN would bring back an old character for the grand finale including pretty much everyone he could think of.

[@touhouyamax2755]

This song has the best intro in any Touhou song IMO

[@dannyemory6261]

Not to get Touhou fans confused or anything, but I wonder if Mima is the true antagonist of the Touhou series? 'Course, that would be impossible since she's related to both Reimu and Marisa. And speaking of Marisa, I didn't know this until now, but I just read that Mima is actually Marisa's mother...And I thought," Now wait a minute! If Mima's Marisa's mother, then A, why is she an evil spirit, and B, how come she has green hair?" Now that got me confused! @_@ But whatever. The song was AWESOME! Whoever knew Mima could be this BADASS! =D

[@okok-be9nu]

+Danny Emory she's not marisa's mother, she's marisa's mentor, and the one who taught all that marisa knows, marisa's basically her minion

[@dannyemory6261]

Oh. 'Cause in Touhou Project Wiki, on Mima's Fan culture, One of the Touhou theories is that Mima IS Marisa's mother. =s

[@bouteilledeau1463]

+Danny Emory Well, it's a fan culture. Believe it or not, it's your choice.

[@tunglequoc6154]

[@SpringySpring04]

Would be epic if somebody went datamining the newer touhou games and found cut content or beta stuff that has art of or at least mentions Mima. That would mean ZUN is working on something with Mima, lol. Still, even if we don't get Mima, this entire franchise is still amazing, from music to story to character design, everything is just really interesting and awesome.

[@Gaudimann]

Since Sephiroth is now in Smash, another Villain wouldn´t hurt, would it? xD I mean, Eggman has a high chance too, but there is one thing that Smash lacks completely: A FEMALE Villain! (Not including Dark Samus)

[@Coverguy88]

HELP ME FANS! So I'm looking for a rearrange of this song, it is a rock kind of song with a lots of electronic stuff going on, and it is a really upbeat version... once upon a time it was posted on youtube and the BG picture was with a really pink tone, but i can't find it anywhere... If you can think of any kind of artist that i should search for to get my long lost song, i would be really glad! Thanks beforehand

[@jnthnrl798]

do you know how many companies (and people alike) has pulled that crap. They even tried to pull a copyright on Marisa (all attempts has been unsuccessful ). Zun has a plan so let him work his magic; I believe Mima will have a reprieve.
