Album: 卯酉東海道　～ Retrospective 53 Minutes
Original: ラクトガール　～ 少女密室 ／ Locked Girl ~ the Girl's Secret Room
(Patchouli Knowledge's theme, from 東方紅魔郷　～ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil)
Oh dear, looks like someone's flooded the library. Good thing the books are everything-proof. Except Marisa-proof.

Nothing is Marisa-proof. [death metal screech] n o t h i n g.

Patchy's gotta warn Alice...

[@anidiot4558]

or else the grimore will go missing

[@wiko1273]

Okina: Tell me more about it.

[@Jann75]

Yorihime, the sole Marisa proof

[@ivoryvt]

This song sounds as if Patchouli were a playable character in PoFV with the Great Library as the stage and this as her theme.

[@enrakutsubakura6782]

Same.

[@Experiment121Archive]

that's coz R53M was made near the same time as PoFV, so it has a similar style of music

[@tomasscott7088]

i know it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online?

[@greysonira4536]

@Sergio Lucas Definitely, I've been using FlixZone for since april myself :D

[@tomasscott7088]

@Sergio Lucas thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!!

[@Spookhunter7]

What a book worm, literally drowning in books..

[@MrTheboomboxer]

Those books indeed aren't Marisa proof, but Patchy knows how to deal with rats.

[@aizuddin3411]

the face looks like: Patchy : My goodness, why do u do this Marisa?

[@metabunny7693]

+Daniel Fisher Marisa stole a precious water spell

[@gloomysarchives]

zun literally one of the only musicians to make the remixes better than the original themes. amazing

[@graveltheblock5578]

Marisa cannot steal your books if they do not exist

[@abarette_]

0:30 the faint ZUNpet in the background is the icing on the cake of this track

[@lidenull]

THE TRUMPETS!!!! SOUND THE HORNS, FOR *THE EMBODIMENT OF MAGIC* HERSELF IS PRESENT

[@pepsiman8137]

one thing i don't understand is the canon/ possible fanon when it comes between the relationship between patchouli and marisa, i would think patchouli hates marisa with all her soul for stealing her books, but in other cases it seems the 2 are in a triangle, where its alice and patchouli trying to be, and stay, with marisa forever.

[@theturtwig50]

Same here. I feel like Patchouli doesn't care for Marisa at all, and instead finds her very annoying.

[@theturtwig50]

Uhhh...wut.

[@MrAsyo1]

Runic Wispra In the canon, Marisa is the best friend of Patchouli.

[@OneWeekGirl]

I don't hate Marisa, she's just more of an annoyance.

[@TheBuster0926]

[@LuckySmashNine]

Such a melancholic arrange~ And, the original was already pretty melancholy as is. I like it, though.

[@heartpalace9999]

Ah~. I always liked Patchouli's theme. Just something about the mystic mystery feeling about it always hooked me. -sheskindofcutetoo-

[@OkinaMatara214]

She does

[@AzuRemilia]

ZUN's always makes remastered songs amazing. It is one of better examples.

[@Jann75]

When you play this and Phantom Ensemble over each other, somehow makes Phantom Ensemble sound slower.

[@oantv7925]

This picture more like: Patchouli: Now I will use unknow spell card. Water Moon Sign " Super Flood in the Library ". Marisa: ... I'll save all the books until I die. A few moment to saving the books later. Patchouli: That why I don't want to use this spell card in all games.

[@OneWeekGirl]

Whenever I have to use that, it activates a magic signal on Sakuya's dress, who then stops time and evacuates all the books. On the other hand, Sakuya has a really annoying value of human life, so she also evacuates Marisa as well, otherwise I'd never have to see Marisa again.

[@gypsysprite4824]

@@OneWeekGirl knowing the fact that marisa is probably the 3rd or 4th fastest person in gensokyo, minus teleports, she'd escape or Yukari would just gap marisa out because yukari's a friggen troll

[@elvergalarga-jo9vs]

wonder how much time will take sakuya to clean the whole flood mess

[@CH--LeNangucTri]

Zero,cause she stops time

[@Mettalus]

I cant tell if behind Patchouli is a chair or two blades that look eerily similar to a certain someone's katanas...

[@walkthroughsepic]

Youmu's Katanas?

[@cheshirechastain1870]

Patchouli stole the precious katanas

[@OneWeekGirl]

Youmu lent them to me for research.

[@ordinary_magician]

As long as something has some kind of value, it’s not Marisa proof

[@jandanczura8028]

Are you sure it needs value?

[@hersheedenwerf]

Asakura in pc98 lowkey looks like Patchouli💀 Edit: Love how Asakura believes in science more than magic even tho she can uses both, and Patchouli is a magic girl *lol*

[@N_Nishi]

what a BANGER

Imagine dropping a book then the theme kicks in.

Is it me or is there a little charming domination a few seconds at the beginning in the background?

[@ethankangaroo9767]

I hear it too :0

[@Jann75]

I can swear the back of 0:14 sounds like the back of the main part of Satori Maiden.

Some guy once told me that my profile picture is purple so he could call me Jacob Books because I’m Patchouli Knowledge.

[@JetBoxSuper]

I honestly did not like this song when I only knew the EoSD version. But this version is so incredible good its one of my favorites now.

[@occultCapra]

Sounds like a PoFV mix

[@Kromiball]

Is Patchouli stranded on an island made of books?

[@mellowhateseverybodyandals1289]

I always wanna be aloneeeeeEEEEeeeee~

[@aubbiedobbie]

yo do you have any idea how pissed patchouli would be if her library flooded like that i mean she COULD have some sort of waterproof spell but still

[@eclipsesoluna3453]

Fun fact: this track was inspired by Giant Wing ~ Fire Stone from Sonic the Fighters.

[@ivatigerfox2548]

_gaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssspppppppppsssssssssss_ Eye'ma look at that right now!

[@birthandbreathe222]

Not same, it sounds more coincidental because the Rikako theme has this melody too.

[@alejandrotti10]

It looks like the real Patchouli

[@prizmastarz742]

+Yummy i guess she/he was joking that the Real Patchy doesn't have noes (look at her char design)

[@rsg5314]

i kinda hte how Zun forgot about this characters, at least in len en characters everybody got some love

[@quochaonguyen6484]

She's playable in 2 fighting games and is Meiling's first opponent in Hisoutensoku. You should see the PC-98 characters, only Alice and Yuuka made it to the Windows Era. Pachouli is still getting more love than those characters.
