Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart (LoLK) - TOUHOU X Stage 2 [Mega Man X Style]

[@WishMakers]

Wow. I wasn't expecting Mega Man X mixes, but this sounds awesome. That sprite of Junko looks awesome as well.

[@WatcherCCG]

You can just FEEL her indignant fury.

[@joannamysluk8623]

Even though her tail were miscoloured...

[@stompchunkman4248]

You defeated Junko. You acquire Crushing Hatred.

[@arisen7513]

I think Purified rage works better. imo.

[@archived6094]

Youmoe Konpaku or that one BS ability that you use on every boss

[@arisen7513]

Hadoken? Doesn't work on ALL the bosses. Final form Sigma is 100% immune to it. iirc.

[@janmarcoperezbatres2203]

Can you even reach his head with the hadoken?

[@jess648]

Stomp Chunkman Now to defeat Chang’e

[@Jasza676]

Magnificent arrangement! Chang'e will surely notice. :)

[@IamaMedalHunter]

Heptahatred Purifox Hepta : greek numeral prefix for "seven" ; seven tail-like flames (of rage presumably) -> Heptahatred Junko's name, 純狐, translates to "pure fox" -> Purifox Very emotional-inducing in some parts. The MMX soundfont makes the theme sound like a last stand song !

[@L33TRedNinja]

To be fair, Junko kinda IS something of a last stand boss fight, considering the context.

[@sushi-mayo]

Everybody gangsta till the Lunarians sends a ton of robots to "purify" and take over Earth

[@bigsmoke6637]

The anti junko and anti mokou robots are just plain bullshit

[@somefries3101]

but then they hear the three funny words *H U* *H A* *H O* guess it's time for them to retreat

[@scavrefamndragonclaw9785]

Yep, the lunarians were the true villains. Junko did nothing wrong.

[@speedstriker]

This arrangement is pure musical catharsis. When you listen to it, it's as if the notes are screaming in your stead or like you're watching a giant, all engulfing fire that you never had to set.

[@Adrians_Ideas]

7:17 this part is always so epic, I LOVE IT!!!!! and the multiple zero hairs that are seen on Junko.

[@zeethezebra]

Really like this. Now have some Junko lines with a Mega Man X spin on it. | | Are you watching Sigma? I will do what you never could. Then you will feel my pure wrath too!

[@lrc3847]

X and Zero: No if we are with reinforces! *brings Reimu*

[@DarkSymphony777]

Reisen: am I a joke to you

[@KirbyJason210]

You got a new weapon! “Purified Hatred”

[@ぴろのぢ]

くそ格好いい！ I love this arrange,so cool!

[@blustickman0285]

2:02 that key change though

[@horrorshipwreck]

嫦娥！ きさま！ 見ているなッ！ Awesome arrange by the way

[@Kattycha]

Junko look like Zero from MMZ. And I speculate that her deceased son is practically the lunarien version of our favorite robotic messiah.

[@markwilson4686]

Love X and Touhou music, and you nailed the feel of X music to the point if I've never heard Pure Furies I would think this is a track from one of the X games.

[@DixieChix]

Huh, kind of a unusual song for a MMX cover if you ask me, but you made it work surprisingly well. Nice job! Really goes to show the flexibility of Megaman X`s instruments. XD

[@scp049dr.plague8]

The theme of Sigma's mom.

Bass makes me so happy

[@gigaganon]

Awesome!

[@Elijahyang118]

You defeated Junko and acquired dodging master(only works in lunatic mode)!

This soundfont is great

[@貴彦坂本]

改めて聞くと、X2オープニングや、ムーンライダーのボス、ハイドロマンサーに似た部分があるかも

Very similar to music from Aerogauge on N64. At least the beginning sounds like it.

Touhou XV*

[@kiboba3674]

I love this song so much. Used for Megaman Sunrise for Trance. Thought I also recalled there was a NES version. I wish to ask what happened to it though. If you can bring it back

[@Gyrokun]

the NES version isby HertzDevil

[@Ann-chan0412]

#Request megaman 10 dr wily stages boss touhou style remix

[@TheAlmightyGream]

Making it say Touhou XV instead of Touhou X would've been perfect

[@pokemonkarma]

This isn't TouHou 10. But it's sounds better than the original track so I'll give you that.

[@marx4538]

X does not stand for 10

[@gonzaducloux9105]

it's a drug 😵

[@grgspunk]

BTW, it's *Jouga*, not Chang'e. Don't let any dipshits tell you otherwise.

[@korohacker]

Who's Jouga though? I really wanna know

[@grgspunk]

Jouga and Chang'e are the same person. They are two different readings of the same word 「嫦娥」, with "Chang'e" being the Chinese reading and "Jouga" being the Japanese reading. When the translators at the Touhou wiki decided to romanize her name, they went with "Chang'e" because she's rooted in Chinese mythology. However, every piece of official work in the Touhou series, as well as every fanwork on Pixiv/Niconico use the "Jouga" reading. All the raws of the official works that mention this character have 「じょうが」 (Jouga) in furigana written alongside her kanji name, so it's perfectly obvious Zun intended to go with the Japanese reading, not the Chinese reading.

[@korohacker]

So it's the reverse of the Hong Meiling/Kurenai Misuzu situation. Okay. Though Jouga sounds less refined and a bit masculine than Chang'e

[@blara2401]

I don't see why you'd take it so personally, though. If we're to refer only to Japanese pronunciations, the game we're talking about isn't LoLK, but Touhou Kanjuden ; this is how ZUN calls it, how every Japanese fan calls it, but we use the English part of the title because it's more practical for us. Since Chang'e is just another reading for 嫦娥 (which can, according to the Japanese Wikipedia page on her, also be read as Kouga), why should we be so upset about its usage ?

[@grgspunk]

It's no more practical to call it either one. It's not a matter of "practicality", it's a matter of integrity. It's about staying as close to ZUN's work as possible--If he had no intention of calling it "Chang'e", who are we to say otherwise? The usage of the English names as an excuse for mispronouncing the name is a red herring--ZUN actually came up with those names, so referring to them as such is not unnacceptable. On the other hand, he had no intention of writing 嫦娥 as "Chang'e" because none of the furigana refer to the name as such. As for why I'd take it personally, you haven't been in the fan translation/scanlation scene, have you?
