Utsuho in this game is one of the few Touhou characters who starts a fight without saying a _single line of dialogue._

[@abarette_]

does Mystia count?

[@DesiredLU9921]

''yes.''

[@Shanghai-Doll-With-a-Hat]

A good chunk of midbosses start fights without dialogue, although I suppose you mean regular bosses

[@BM-13_KATYUSHA]

She just gives you a warning

[@Skelator_Sikelator]

I think throwing fucking *sun* is quite clear message.

[@alotosius]

Player: Utsuho I don't want tell you how to do your job but your suppose to start the fight easy "then" power up. Utsuho: I am starting easy. Player: Ahhh crapbaskets...

[@gameingtothemax6266]

[@grimstruck5300]

did you forget sans undertale why not start the fight with your strongest attack

[@lunasagaming5801]

@@grimstruck5300 terrible idea, sans uses the same attacks over and over again after that.

"She's so cool, but she's so goddamn dumb!"

[@meltyice_cc]

in TH17.5 we have a... • Nerfed Shrine Maiden • a witch with limited moves • Kanako spams • Murasa with the highest difficulty • Yorigami Sisters taking advantage of Oil • Protagonist Flandre

[@noyingcatz]

But Joon uses her big sis as a shield :((

[@codexmarsema9866]

More specifically, we have • Reimu "Nuclear Fusion Uses Petroleum!" Hakurei, who slid into this incident from Muse Dash (duty calls!) • Marisa "Rocket Broom" Kirisame, who recently heard of Shovel Knight from Kourindou (those potions are totally Plague Knight's thing...) • Kanako "Pillar Zenyatta" Yasaka, where Down-Attack (and Down-Side-Attack) is her friend. Every. Single. Fight. • Murasa "TOSTUGEKI!" Minamitsu, with little movement control and all JoJo-level firepower. (BTW, Up-Attack tears Okuu apart, fight's a joke.) • Yoon and Shion Yorigami aka the "Koch Sisters", who took up "Krav Maga" (not actually) from the Middle East, and spray oil everywhere to show off • Protagonist Flandre "Crystal Apple!!!" Scarlet feat. Armchair General Okina Matara - Flan owns the sky with her air attacks (Down-Air for far, second Up-Air for close)

Utsuho is awesome in this game. She steals the show in every scene she's in. WHY ON EARTH IS SHE NOT PLAYABLE!?!

[@NightOfTheRavens]

Wait. SHE'S NOT PLAYABLE?!

[@anueutsuho7425]

@@NightOfTheRavens Nope! Only half the cast is playable: Reimu, Marisa, Kanako, Murasa, the Yorigami Sisters, and Flandre. Everyone else is an unplayable boss fight

[@NightOfTheRavens]

@@anueutsuho7425 Well, that kinda sucks. But hey, at least Flandre AND Murasa are playable!

[@RegretHeart]

Probably because Utsuho is overpower. Flandre is playable because she will get hurt when she touches water.

[@destrucantcantarrutti2908]

@@RegretHeart I don't think that's the reason, utsuho is playable in other touhou games, besides most characters can be as op as her, I think the reason why it is not playable is simply because it is not a playable character xd

"Kaboom?" "yes utsuho kaboom"

[@guy_th18]

the song you hear for exactly 30 seconds as Flandre

[@bomb4r719]

Damn dude. I've been looking through the 17.5 remixes, and while they're all definitely good, none of them absolutely blow me away. The exception being this one. It's generally pretty groovy on the whole, but the inclusion of ZUNpets in a song that isn't entirely chiptune sounds sexy as fuck. I started headbanging the first time I heard them

[@davidmapping4041]

Flans theme

[@90enemies]

I personally like Joon and Shion theme remix, like the original is already very good but the Remix introduces an entirely different feel to the already good track.

[@bomb4r719]

There definitely are plenty of other good remixes in here - just none with the same impact I think. Flan returning after all this time is hype n all, but her song in 17.5 is kinda _meh_ imo. Joon and Shion's theme is pretty great, but I find myself preferring the original, reserving the new one for use as a change of pace. This song is the only version where I could _arguably_ put it in its original context and still love it

[@LocherYT]

Just look how at 0:50 the keyboard follows the rhythm around and then later gets picked up by the bass. It's incredible

[@Lumix_Corrupt]

@@90enemies okuu, yuugi, yorigami sisters , murasa and marisa’s new themes are all godlike

As an Utsuho fan that has never played 17.5, I can confirm that this theme captures the "Woman representing Satan firing a neutron star out of their arm cannon" vibe really well

[@FreezinUrTundra]

Bro, don't be giving praise to the devil.

[@XquizetBlix]

@@AmericanCaesarian I feel like Satan is the devil So Remilia Also considering Utsuho is the final boss of a game where the setting is called "former hell" I'd say that's devil-status worthy

[@rongchuayachie6189]

"Touhou fans! Your NUCLEAR empress has returned" *not be a playable character in this game "Your NUCLEAR empress shall return"

[@HELLYEAHJOHN]

Having played the game, I can say this theme is the sole reason I can go through this bullshit of a boss. Can't count how many times I thought of just throwing my controller and calling it quits. Still gonna aim for no death clear, though it's gonna take a while (for me at least).

[@JessePrower]

My first reaction was "I have to fight her on this platformy bullshit?!?"

[@aregularhuman4776]

it seems like a hard fight at first , untill you realize that she has the durability of a cardboard cutout and you can beat her by just face-tanking all her attacks and damaging her faster than she kills you + her final phase is basically free so she might as well not have one.
