Touhou 13.5: Hopeless Masquerade - Reimu Hakurei (New Commentary Version)

The Advocate of the Myriad Gods
Reimu’s a good beginning character with few special abilities to worry about (unlike other characters) so it makes her great to pick up on right away. She has average speed, slightly above average melee range, and projectiles with great range no matter what style you’re using. She has a simplistic special ability as well, similar to Yukari of past games if you double tap while against a wall you’ll zip over to the opposite side of the field.

Your commentaries are actually real. WaHH confirmed the villagers don't care about religions, they just want to watch flashy brawls.

[@alphamoon8367]

I feel bad for Kokoro for being very underrated compared to the other fighter-originated Touhou characters.

[@Wizzard220]

Also known as that one game where everybody has basically the same face. Thanks Alphes. Oh and there's something going on at the human village at night. You should check it out.

[@HyperVanilo]

You say like Moe Harukawa didnt do the same.

[@lumishark]

Maybe that's because Moe didn't do the same. Like, at all.

[@HyperVanilo]

@@lumishark Maybe you should take a look at Moe's style again, basically everyone has same face.

[@crystaljon]

4:19 Actually, Byakuran is capable of transforming the Temple into the Palanquin and vise versa. Also yes, the ship and the temple are the exact same structure.

[@tomlynmathewsjr7514]

Ah yes. Miko's sparkles. The greatest gift from this game.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

21:58 Let's make sure that Monokuma never learns about what Kokoro did in this game...

[@doctjoe]

8:30 WHY YOU.... I was waiting for something from someone on Discord today. This made me pause the video and go check.

[@Eeveeolite655]

Man I love byakuren, hands down in the top 5 best touhou characters. Hope at some point Zun makes a more traditional game with her as a PC, akin to IN with Remilia and Yuyuko.

[@syomituu_]

6:57 me when I slap my little brother

[@dirtyrat7181]

the lost emotion is definitely top 10 touhou themes for me

[@lunatic0verlord10]

3:18 Yukari who has officially decided to just sit this one out on the roof of the Shrine.

[@AJAredstone]

There's something going on in the human village

[@R.P.Genocraft]

Wow, I really didn't remember the dialogue bubble sound effect being so annoying. Glad they removed it in future games.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

28:24 Yeah, Ichirin and Nitori sure got the better deal when it comes to such a scenario...

[@lunatic0verlord10]

7:31 I didn't know the Taoists allowed youkais near the tower... Let alone the resident troublemaker teams that are the Three Fairies and Team 9...

[@lunatic0verlord10]

7:45 Mostly setting it on fire, actually...

[@orionprism4339]

I see Aimi.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

15:00 But none of those people are human, Miko.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

2:25 You never were one to home in on foes...

[@mayhewwright]

Ok two questions. Do the dates on the newspaper’s correlate to anything? And I’m always confused if Byakurens temple is the shrine or boat. I’ve been told both and it transforms between the two

[@MegamanOmega184]

The dates actually correspond to the current time on your clock, so that's the actual date I played this route. And yeah, she can transform the shine as needed.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

10:47 Despite having a smaller crowd?

[@garitaylor9000]

I would like this game if it was on the ground and not in the air and most of all VOICE ACTING!
