Touhou 7 - Yuyuko Saigyouji - Border of Life (Final Spell)

[@DanielEDC]

there is literally nothing worse than dying here and having to use a continue after you thought you beat the game

This is where all my bombs went to use

[@SuperRPGgamer]

Yeah… it does

[@fukou_da]

Just happened to me

[@Shrewbloom]

yeah i got a ULTRA lucky extend literally half a second gap between getting it and getting hit

[@Silent_Patchouli]

This is probably the most emotional theme I've ever heard in the entire Touhou franchise. Perfectly describes that ''Grand Finale'' part, gives me goosebumps all over my body...(even though I haven't expected her ''Resurrection'' and lost a 2nd continue, but screw it. Now I have 1cc at least XD)

[@BenersantheBread]

I love this moment so much that I specifically practiced Resurrection Butterfly so I wouldn't need to bomb through it, I didn't want to take from the moment.

[@olivia1486]

Recently I ended up losing my last life here as the timer had already ran out. I could literally see it fading into the victory screen, but then I died and it cut to the game over screen! I think that was the most pain I have ever felt from a video game.

This is the crescendo to end all crescendos.

[@Rodri34451]

Only played a few Touhou games but my god, the final part of this game is really gorgeous.

[@phuongluong7057]

I'm glad that TH7 is the first TH game I've ever played, the PTSD that Yuyuko gave me is indescribable

When you turn over your test sheet and you have 5 minutes left

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

0:00 - 0:13 Cool 0:14 Nice 0:27 - 0:39 NICE. 0:40 WOAH, IT’S STILL GOING!? 0:57 - 1:04 THIS IS INSANE, AAAAAAAAA 1:05 So fast-paced and satisfying to listen to. This is so foreboding, I really like it! Now THIS sounds like a FINAL BOSS THEME!!!! It’s great! Now time for the Extra stage music

[@ivboy3300]

So. Has anyone else lost their last life to this spell halfway in? EDIT: I actually managed to beat the boss. Pretty damn proud of that.

[@biscuitslash5443]

When first trying to complete this game, it was on Hard mode, all continues usable. I lost a good few times to Yuyuko, with one of my attempts ending with "Completion rate - 99.7%". Seems I lost my last life during the final few seconds.

[@ivboy3300]

Updating my comment: Has anyone lost their last life to this spell with 5 seconds left on the timer?

[@exaltedb]

I actually just earlier today lost my last life with 0 seconds left in this spell. So close to my first ever touhou normal 1cc and the nerves got the best of me

[@orochi1541]

I have only been to this part once. The music fulls you with a sense of determination till the end, even if it costs 3 continues, I will get to the end

[@Yokai_soul]

Image if a criminal stabed someone then heard this with that same victim up & already launching a punch faster then dads belt...

[@fran98832]

What I like the most about this stage is that if you find a perfect blind spot it'll become relatively easy in any mode

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

knowledge of that blind spot, perhaps?

[@suyogv8235]

@@LavaCreeperPeopletbh in normal theres a pattern you just have to follow, it’s not too complex, easy to ingrain into muscle memory

[@grambatter]

methinks you could theoretically kill a pokemon fan with this song due to the fact that its so damn beautiful

[@LIXOUALeBg]

a pokemon fan...?

[@secretnya]

I can feel the intensity of someone screaming: "JUST END ALREADY PLEASE" while this plays.

TH7 is what introduced me to the franchise. I'm still really bad at it, but man, this game is my favorite ❤❤❤.

[@lorenzorentniop717]

Best pair with youmu in IN!

[@ccsqyared7469]

but what would 100% reflowering be like?

[@dhimasanangga1916]

Lore wise, the seal on the giant cherry tree will be broken and Yuyuko will be resurrected(?). Her body was beneath the tree for the purpose of sealing it or something, so yeah. She resurrect = seal breaking. The tree is youkai who eat humans by lulling them to sleep under it IIRC

[@idontthinktheysawthatcomin6792]

Yuyuko committed suicide and sacrificed herself to keep the tree from killing people.

I think the closest we see to it is ‘Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana’, her Last Word in Imperishable Night
