Actually it had a less controversial meaning at first, old tribes used the symbol as a sign of peace, but Hitler saw it as a sign of power from the gods and he had a goal to take every relic from the past to gain absolute power. As a result, the symbol has lost it's positive meaning for what it is now.

[@zandermanandcassymom]

I guess that in the conversation at the beginning, when someone says, "So the cat is a youkai's shikigami's shikigami?", are they referring to Chen Yakumo(and, if I'm correct, Chen Yakumo is the shikigami of Ran Yakumo, who is the shikigami of Yukari Yakumo, who is a youkai)?

[@VanillaDelight]

Chen has no Yakumo name in the end of her name

[@therealsiche]

@@VanillaDelight Yeah but technically, Ran being Yukari's shikigami gave her the yakumo surname leading onto Chen being Ran's shikigami which resulted in her being named Chen Yakumo (or at least people think it should be that way)

PCB was my first Touhou game, I played it like 3 years ago, and holy fuck, this video brought back traumas; never tried to beat another Extra Stage ever since I finished with Yukari (I kinda tried with Mokou, but I didn't feel like wasting another month of my life).

[@NuclearNacho13]

Man, I just (finally) beat the main game on normal with no continues, and was like "hmmm, maybe I should try the extra stage" ._.

[@zeyu8]

Ran and Yukari's hitboxes are inactive during Princess Tenko Illusion and Yukari's Spiriting Away. With this in mind, they become insanely easy. Basically, do not move when yukari/ran teleports on you but move away to the side at the last second so that you redirect the bullets aimed towards you. Even sakuya does enough damage to end the card quickly

[@Myonpaku-h5w]

Lmao that's the good thing about Reimu. Sakuya's focus is a bit too fast. Or maybe that's just me l0l

[@LuckySmash9]

@raak1010 Thanks so much for the tips on the characters. I actually ended up defeating Ran today, and under the most strange circumstances. I haven't even attempted to fight Ran for a while, and I never used Marisa A (She's obviously the most suicidal after all) But out of nowhere, I ended up defeating her today. My first Extra Boss completion, with such a suicidal character...and on top of that, I had 4 extra lives still in stock! I have no idea what gave me such a random boost in luck...

Koishi was the easiest for me, Ran was the next, then Suwako, then Mokou. Flying Fujiwama always gets me.

[@TheDiego908]

Um, you have to dodge Unilateral Contact from below the empty spot, not going there to follow the next wave. At least that's how I captured it :P

[@bamioumII]

Hina Kagiyama is the second stage boss of MOF (mountain of faith) she's famous for going round and round and round and round. By hilarious spinning i meant Ran as she appeared in IN, i just found it really funny how she would spin like mad towards any fairy that dared to cross the screen. Just like Hina she goes round and round and round and round..

[@darkDeisas]

you were perfect at the whole battle...never using bombs every 10 secs because you are too afraid to try dodging bullets

[@yugijak]

5:12 Here's a knowledge drop for you...since you decided to ask in your video: The Swastika is actually a sun symbol for good fortune that is used by Buddhist or followers of Buddhism, and was actually something stolen by the Nazis. So actually you should be asking why the Nazi symbol looks so much like a Buddhist symbol. And, for those of you who didn't know, the Swastika actually has a left facing version known as the Sauwastika, which is actually used more in Hinduism than Buddhism, unlike the right facing cousin, and is a symbol of the moon if my memory serves me correctly.

[@yugijak]

Also, yes, another alternative name is the manji, though I hope you actually learned that from Sword of the Immortal.

@koolbowser961 because Yukari's theme was intended to be a remix of Ran's theme at first.

[@BrawlerGamma]

holy shit guys, I've only beaten one EX boss and that's Suwako, still cant beat Ran or anyone else, but during an attempt, i realized about her first spellcard "The trick is in the nervousness it induces, so if you close your eyes, it would actually be easier." so i tried that, and holy shit, i captured it but it was so surreal, try it sometime, it's intence.

tho i have all ZUN original danmaku/fighting Touhou games from 1 to 13, i kinda only "tried" the first 5 once or twice. now i wanna finish EoSD with both charactes before i seriously attempt any of the latter games. im having trouble with Sakuya and Remilia's stages on normal. but MAN am i looking forward to fighting Ran and especially Yukari! i saw u said somewhere that PCB is your favorite Touhou game. from the few goes i had at it, i got a feeling it'll be the same for me.

Meh, I prefer to be at the bottom of the screen for Fox-Tanuki Youkai Laser, don't know why, maybe I'm affair to be too close and been killed...? Ohh, and a little question : In Princess Tenko -Illusion-, do you knew you can stay a little time on Ran when she appears? And wow, you manage to try to survive at her f***ing timeout much longer than me. Good job~!

[@reinreinie]

Why Ran is so similar to Yukari?

[@Nightbird-67tm]

Lommy Heron FFotD: her theme was supposed to be Yukari's, but Zun realised that it sounded a bit to cheerful. So he gave it to Ran instead and made the more chaotic Necrofantasia for Yukari. Do it's pretty dumb that he made Ran's attacks just nerfed versions of Yukari's (yeah yeah I get what's supposed to mean, but still).

I agree with other people here. The extra stage isn't to bad and her first four spellcards are managable, but Princess Tenko is just...painful. At first I tried using Marisa (Who I usually use) But then I beat the game with Reimu and tried her, but she's not working to well either.

[@Namingway]

Ran isn't very epic, they save the epic for Yukari. At least in terms of music, since her attacks are minor variations on Ran's. (Well, probably vice versa) It would be nice to see another Touhou game with a Phantasm, preferably one that isn't a rehash of the extra.
