TOUHOU SPRITESPLIT VOLUME 1

So before the release of the next (big) episode, here's a condensed, chronological summary/recap of the whole story thus far, told by none other than the Dream Empress herself! Obviously there are a few videos omitted purely because I wanted this to be a way to quickly catch up on the basic story fairly quickly.
There's a pretty big reveal at the very end so I'd suggest sticking around for that!

[@kancerkrab6545]

"Wait, it's all connected?" Perl: "Always has been."

[@johnharlanabila1740]

Perl: **Shoots**

[@splattim3180]

When you barely know anything about Touhou but you've watched enough Perldrop to recognize over half the video *shrugs*

[@Maniacman2030]

All I have to say is.... *ZUN get on this now. Touhou has evolved into something majestic.*

[@amazingstealth8235]

ZUN: *Watches this* "Maybe if Touhou 19..."

[@PerlDrop]

Please don't be hateful I AM trying my hardest to finish up the next episode... as I said a few times I put a lot more effort into them nowadays so they take time :3 There should be a TRAILER NEXT WEEK for that one. Thanks for being patient!

[@whoisthis4948]

The more I watch your channel, the more it evolves!

[@longlivethe9989]

SpriteSplit episodes have trailers now? Must be something really special...

[@Kawabungus]

this is a great video perldrop don't worry

[@thenightmareyoutube8375]

No fak U perl I will be hatefoof

[@MTB396]

No, i can't hate you , this is great

[@renmizunashi]

I have this feeling that Koishi is going to be a key player here, really messing up Doremy’s plans. And it makes sense too: Koishi has no conscious mind, and thus doesn’t dream.

[@alwayrember193]

It's more like she IS dream, since she is the subconscious. So, she might actually hold power over Doremy, or even be masterminding the whole thing. Probably not, though.

[@alwayrember193]

bitch this was a year ago i don't even know what kinda drugs i was on when i was replying this

[@akihirodaichi6218]

Wait, everything was a part of a lore?

[@Raum2901]

Always has been

[@SushiUnteDeZee]

*Cock gun*

[@aero_shashinsha]

Always has been *Doremy shot you in the head*

[@johnharlanabila1740]

**Shoots**

[@Ms.circlelovesheroreos]

Lore

[@yt_krg]

How does this fit in the Kingdom Hearts lore?

[@Acertaintouhoufan]

This video is kinda... *dark!* haha darkness kingdom hearts funny now give me like

[@Jehfor]

You see it comes back to koishi being summoned by remilia, this represents that she is in fact the hidden princess of light. No matter how many times she is endangered, koishi can go back to of the same timeline to redo it again. In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, you can actually see koishi roaming around the keyblade graveyard, vibing near the tornadoes.

[@yt_krg]

@@Jehfor I see thank you for the explanation

[@Acertaintouhoufan]

@@Jehfor Truly a respectable gentleman, you are.

[@sylvierose2799]

Yes

[@DoIt-kz4fi]

There exists the question of when Rumia Groove 2 takes place. At the end of it, she travels in time and appears at the end of Koishi Quest. Judging from the clock in Koishi Quest, Koishi and Reisen were likely travelling forward in time before being sent back after crashing into Rumia. This could mean Rumia was travelling backwards in time, and Rumia Groove 2 takes place in the future. In any case, whenever she stops to sleep is likely the normal Spritesplit timeline, before Holiday Sweet, since Doremy acknowledges the “Rumia flattens an entire city then comes for you” dream. Of course, there is the possibility of multiple Rumias, but it is heavily implied the Rumia from Groove 2, Rumia flattens a city, and Koishi Quest are the same, since they are the same crawling Rumia animation.

[@burritowyrm6530]

the fact that Rumia messes with the timeline

[@longlivethe9989]

Now that all those episodes are all in one video... I still don't understand anything, but I've enjoyed watching this.

[@amiserablelittlepileofsecr856]

Basically pearl's stocktales

[@Acertaintouhoufan]

This video = Evangelion: Life And Death Touhou ver.

[@metalmagerin3]

Wait It's been one big cinematic universe the entire time? Hyper-speed dancing Rumia sent by Doremy to hit me with the D R E A M G U N: Always has been.

[@Bored_Kaga]

1:16 Sun: Imma have to stop you right there Remilia: I wanna take a walk Sun: Ok then

[@gabinchorein-parisot3255]

Imagine someone who don’t know what touhou is finding this video ?

[@splattim3180]

what a good rep

[@cirnocard5710]

I found this channel hardly knowing about Touhou. And even now, after becoming a part of the cult, this still feels like a drug trip

[@gabinchorein-parisot3255]

Cursed_wanderer769 the power of PerlDrop editing

[@omniscientomnipresent5500]

I know about Touhou and huhh... Watizapening ?

[@aronnecroman]

I dont know touhou and this video make me want to play it

[@F3rGD]

19 minutes of pleasure

[@whalesauce3647]

I couldn't agree more.

[@randomzero4557]

What if it was all a dream? Doremy: Hold my spark.

[@donski6534]

Instructions unclear, all I understood from That was nothing. Suwako needs croaka cola.

[@soogy2789]

this spritesplit series makes no sense but also a masterpiece

[@thepebbleman]

This has more lore into it than the entire Hamood Habibi series

[@WAI-FU1460]

dear god, we have ascended today

[@Qoride]

I like how it's only Volume 1 but my ears have been rended already, imagine Volume MAX. Also I'm not stupid, kind of... this is just my lame attempt at being witty

[@yeva3312]

Psychologist:"every dreams has a meaning" My dreams:

[@MoegeReader]

When a lot of random memes make a funny and intriguing story. *E P I C*

[@domino1518]

What I really want to know is how "Aya suffers through the daily grind for 10 minutes" fits into all of this. It's Aya's only appearance so far in SpriteSplit, and doesn't seem to have anything to do with any of the other videos...perhaps it's just a dream?

[@MTB396]

Epic, now i can watch this in 4K monitor I'm kidding i don't have a 4K monitor

[@NerdomancerKirou]

There is something so relaxing about watching Satori flip pancakes, i don't know i just like it.

[@XRN0]

I told you there were plot in the memes!

[@lunarservant6781]

one of the biggest mysteries to me aside from how doremy became a scheming dream demon overlord is why Remilia 1/Remilia 2 just decides with 0 hesitation to eject Koishi out of the space station

[@EmperorFawful]

That's some sweet lore I found here. :3

[@nannyfunaria657]

100-th comment lol Jokes aside, the memes were are a part of this one lore, what a great scenario writer, perl. This is the best plot twist I've ever seen, not even Matrix could be ay this level

[@bewithu125]

10:16 I just realized it's Yuuka from Seihou

[@sebastiancortes9104]

*Clap *Clap.... what a amazing show. I need more of this... it's seems to be a drug for me, i want more xd.

[@player-ds8bm]

is that lore I see

[@armalantlitez2360]

Ah yes, the in-depth and complicated lore of the game "Sprite Lamp". Quite the doozy to figure this one out if I do say so myself.

[@john-cd1zm]

Nice i remember all of thism : )

[@SheetsInc]

It still cracks me up seeing suika in shadows of evil. The call of duty time line is crazy.

Well kids, that is how drugs work

[@notveryanon8885]

You dont understand how much I love you and all this.

[@Eden_Vexaria]

AhhHhhhHhhHhhHHHH WHY AM I JUST NOW CONNECTING THE DOTS AND MOLECULES?!?!

[@flleeppyy9959]

sometimes i wish I had the time and effort to make stuff like this "Doremy takes a roadtrip" was the only thing I managed to do, despite struggling to keep my focus on adobe premiere for more than 2 minutes . your videos motivate me to try to do something new, every time i see them, but then i end up giving up because theres so many fucking SPRITES, to put through photoshop, and just trying to go through one spritesheet takes hours upon hours. anyway im probably spewing shit out my nonexistent mouth hav good day

[@PerlDrop]

Dude I totally get where you're coming from.. but even if you struggle at first, doing it over and over again is really the best way to get better! Don't let that stop you from making something great!!

[@KameChameleon]

Now when you look closely at the details you can see how it all makes sense

[@daphne82]

De loin le meilleur Cinematic Universe, j'ai hâte de connaître la suite ! J'espère qu'il y aura encore des épisodes avec Suwako

[@vincdraws4742]

Ngl i dont know the lore of the touhou series as a whole But now Im afraid to find out what it is

[@YataTheFifteenth]

It's a lot more understandable than the lore of this thing

[@combativeThinker]

Basically, Tsukuyomi and his relatives left earth for the moon because they’re prejudiced assholes who view terrans as subhuman simply because we’re not immortal. They then used the light of the moon to create a race of spiritual beings manifested from mankind’s fears called youkai. They did this to slow humanity’s development, as they saw our rapid advances in technology as a threat to them. The Touhou games take place in a land called Gensokyo. Gensokyo was created as a refuge for youkai. Youkai subsist on human emotions, the most common being fear and faith. As humanity advanced technologically despite the constant attacks by youkai, belief in them and fear of them decreased over time. Eventually, youkai could no longer survive and began to disappear. Around this time, which happened to be in the late 1800’s, a small village in a rural area of Japan disappeared. In reality, a powerful youkai by the name of Yukari Yakumo, with the assistance of a dragon and the Hakurei lineage of onmyoji and miko, enclosed the village in a barrier that completely separated it from the outside world’s influence. The barrier was linked to the Hakurei lineage and would persist as long as there was a living descendant. The barrier insulated the youkai living in Gensokyo from the outside world’s unbelief and allowed them a chance to learn to coexist with humans. The barrier also attracted things that were lost and forgotten in the outside world, leading to the periodic appearance of youkai and miscellaneous items, including technology. Due to the barrier and the numerous youkai who live in Gensokyo, the technological advancement of the humans living in the village has been rather slow compared to the outside world. However, they have offset this with the use of magic, and some residents, like the Moriyas and kappa, have begun to try and modernize Gensokyo with wind turbines, nuclear fusion reactors, cable cars, and power lines. Nobody knows much about Gensokyo’s mysterious creator, Yukari, but she bears a striking resemblance to another character, Maribel Hearn, and even has a similar ability. It’s theorized that they are, in fact, the same person, just separated by thousands of years after an accident that sent Maribel back in time. Look into it more if you’re interested. There’s a lot of lore that goes unsaid in the games but is nevertheless present in various hints hidden in dialogue and character designs. For instance, did you know that Eirin, Gensokyo’s resident doctor operating out of Eintei, is actually a close relative of Tsukuyomi? Blew my mind when I found out. Here’s a link to more Touhou lore: warosu.org/jp/thread/20004364?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=a52153e26d49f1726b3f6f5bdfba8ce4d02a2584-1595218167-0-AW35VwaiLdgnyXcU7nNLfQ_BmKQ0KqFPe1UbucbPYs2kfphNy0Pab1jFlGKCTyCGmb-buE8CdcHsq9zOvR0cj_B88_RDcUPX2ZiaYB_L0Hp6u3ZmWRQbMbmUkUQeKZaoab4QRWt-JHxnwnjN9nh2-hRdscE38yhvhM-NxIhE0bzKSCtgf3s3TYGH3uNdk6pMyvmznY27WOIeqmb8_M48W4Y_fWBoxjmjWZgSiIZAZyKe2EmxbVLmu_cxLgeb0OKsr40d0ckYFNPciQC7NnH6lvqxA03SUfxesBgLUJCOohbE

I dont care what anyone said, this is a masterpiece. And I want everything you inhaled while making this vids.

[@hyper5157]

This is very confusing. What in the world is Doremy planning? Is she planning something bad? Something good? Something entirely meaningless? And if she is planning something bad, then is she stoppable? Does Rumia hold the power to defeat Doremy? What is going on?

[@bingus6869]

2hu fans: What is this PerlDrop fans: What is this Visitors: *What is this*

[@SwerveStarEx]

Ah, yes, the "shitposts and memes are part of a storyline" play. Excellently done. I had my suspicions but I was not sure.
