Unknown Playthrough: Captain Minamitsu Murasa (UFO Stage 4 Lunatic)

"CAPTAIN Minamitsu Murasa, if you please."
A video of me fighting against the drowned girl, Captain Minamitsu Murasa, if you will.
Murasa (I always mix her name and last name), is the Stage 4 boss of the game Undefined Fantastic Object, the 12th installment of the Touhou Project. The Touhou Project is a series of danmaku shmups where the stage 4 Boss(es) has some change tied to the character being used. But not in this game. In this game, you're screwed equally regardless of who you are.
So... have you met lily-an? You know, lily-an, this height, long, brown hair, lovely voice, photoshopped face (ok, that is mean). Main vocalist for Liz-Triangle, that lily-an? Well, if you had heard of lily-an, or at least has watched my channel, you had heard the Pirates of the Caribbean/Touhou song. I think that song pretty much describes my vision of Murasa. The rhythm of course. I have no idea what she's singing about.
So, how do I exactly see her? Well, Murasa is confident, a natural leader, not the sharpest sword, but not dumb. I feel that when it comes to it, she has more backbone than Shou. Doesn't mean Shou lacks a backbone, although I have trouble picturing her being not being motherly to the rest of the crew. It means that when it comes to it, Murasa can control the crew better and generally receive more positive feedback. She is kind of like that cool big sis while Shou is the more serious bigger sis.
She normally is in good humor, which helps with the overall morale of the team, and she loves a good fight. She's a tomboy to put it bluntly. And I think those are shorts, not a skirt. Sue me. If it wasn't because Tohonifun tends to make everybody evil, I would say his/her/its/their interpretation of Murasa is the best. I love how he made it so she can drown an entire room and dissolve herself in water for surprise attack. She's probably better than Kogasa at that too. Only one question remains: when and where did she get the sailor outfit? I highly doubt those existed back on Byakuren's time or where Murasa was sealed. Or even in Gensokyo just lying around. I have a feeling Nazrin isn't the only one who visited Rinnosuke...
Also, she wields an anchor. Anchor wielding is one of the coolest wielding in existence. Is a fact.
As you know, a demo was released before the game. The demo featured the first three stages. So, by the time the game released, this was the first stage I encountered that I haven't seen and, in the immortal words of a friend of a KZbin uploader, don't recall which but I'm sure I'm subscribed to him, prepare for the bizarre. The stage's theme is very odd and initially feels out of place with the rest of the game. It reminds me of Donkey Kong and the fact that the background is made out of wood didn't helped.
Overall, the stage is fairly standard and can be divided in three parts: a tolerable first part before the midboss, a two-parts part after the boss, and a third part that is a more difficult first part. The first two can be survived without too much trouble. You better have some mad UFO skills for the third part. The difficulty jump is not as noticeable as it is in the first games. Actually, I doubt it exists at all.
As for the images, I wanted a watery effect for the text, but ended up with a ghostly effect. It works, Murasa being a ghost and all... wow, UFO cast truly have little to talk about.

I had heard that Murasa was actually trapped in the sea where she was. When Byakuren asked her to captain the ship, it instantly broke Murasa's spiritual bonds and could finally leave the ocean.

[@EirenKjell]

Jesus, whats that boat made of to survive anchors and water droplets that one shot shrine maidens.

[@TheNufinger]

The throws anchors. She's a Ghost who has a ship. She has a survival spell at stage four. She is Captain Minamitsu MOTHERFUCKING Murasa.

[@Debachi]

I love these remixes you use for your videos

[@lecanoscoptical3455]

Anchors aren't danmaku Murasa. That's just plain mean.

[@warspite_4715]

I can't believe u survived her last spell

[@gamernic8845]

Murasa always kicks my ass... I've yet to see stage 6 myself because she always saps me of all my lives and I'll have none left in stage 5 =__=

[@PhantomNerifes]

i just realized how smooth the sprites are for the chracters. very nice ^^

[@agentlolipop001]

This looks very hard... ''x3 But Murasa's one of those characters that I actually really enjoy fighting against, so if I ever get good enough to play on Lunatic I am definitely trying her as one of my firsts :D

[@Touhou101]

Cant stop lovin the music o.e

[@ShiroiFunBun]

Hmmmm, You really have to wonder what Hijiri was thinking. "Hmmm, I'm going the find the one person who's powers is to literally "Sink Ships", And make her the captain of my gigantic flying wooden boat! =D"

[@stepmanianub]

I just had a moment where I was thinking that Murasa's paleness was more from being droned than from her being a ghost now... XD Perhaps Murasa makes regular forays into our world with Yukari's help and somehow ends up in the Bermuda Triangle area and starts sinking ships there for their sailors' uniforms... >_> Still loving your videos and your choices of songs =D Random note: I made a mistake last time when recommending HECATE's highscore replay: it wasn't 290 million... it was 2.989 B. XD

[@zero116]

anchor anchor ketsu hoi anchor!

[@Socoolgirl94]

UFO is fond of its unique danmaku and objects.

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

HOLY FUDGE!! U answered back to my comment?! I feel special now... i need to tell u how awesome u are u truly are and I love the 1st song :3 its funny cuz even though I like touhou ive never gotten interested on UFO even though I have it Ive gotten to stage 3 though. Murasa was the 2nd character i ever saw and she got me into it i was wondering when she was gonna appear, i was starting to believe she was fandom made XD AM A GO PLAY NOW

[@EirenKjell]

Actu- ... That would make more sense then I thought it would if you think about it.

[@RealityMasterRogue]

0:00 to 0:23 BEST PART OF SONG WHOO

[@ppyporpeem]

ketsu anchor!!!!

[@reinreinie]

Murasa is like Yuyuko.. last hit on last life.. bitch no.. last words come

[@fittyyen]

@raak1010 Not saying its a bad thing. I've seen many of your play throughs. I really like the annotation commentary you include, and I just notice the tropes when i see them. like precision F strike or Equivalent exchange or for the evulz or etc.

[@mrrp405]

jesus christ her nonspells

[@knighterisk]

5:50 wiggle wigle wigl

[@guavacado9559]

Dang, this looks fun

[@Ispod4]

The remix of Captain Murasa just screams, " adventure!" XD

[@NekoNekoKitty7]

4:09 "almost Fujiwara no Mokou impossible". lol that's how I described it! XD

[@RealityMasterRogue]

absolutely no idea whatsoever. deleting in 5.... 4.... 3....

[@pokemonsonicgirl123]

*sighs* YT signed me out for no good reason. >~< Anyway, everytime I encounter a UFO while fighting something, it's all like, "Ain't nobody got time for dat!" Which is annoying.

[@Ushiodama]

IT'S A SKIRT SEE IT'S RIGHT THERE :D

[@warwatcher91]

This music sounds like something out of Banjo-Kazooie.

[@MrTrickysticks]

Murasa is interesting. On her anchor attack I always try to dodge in between the anchor and her, and it never ends well xD. I jam the X button on sinkable vortex, and her last non survival spell isn't that bad. Then Sinker Ghost....

[@miyakoyoshika100yearsago4]

"Minamitu" LOL

[@RealityMasterRogue]

ehh..... JUSt JUST a second

[@ShiroiFunBun]

@raak1010 Well i get that, But even thenwhy would hijiri make her the captain of a giant floating ship, it just doesn't seem smart... Even during the battle she's throwing anchors inside a wooden ship >w>

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

Barely looks harder than the normal mode

[@stepmanianub]

@raak1010 Hey, Murasa's paleness could be unique! Just like all the members of the Touhou cast... =)

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

no1 can troll me off of games as u put eet owo specially touhou ZUN is too amazing to just let a simple troller ruin all the fandom and fun \owo/

[@RealityMasterRogue]

yea, zun rocks.KAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@TheForgottenCherish]

Murasa is the reason why I can never get pass Shou xC

[@TheForgottenCherish]

I think it's because you(almost) timed out her second to last spell

[@-Fhaiz-]

The BGM It Sounds Like From a Pirate Cartoon :/

[@Khiash]

CAPTAIN ****ING MURASA

[@LordZanas]

MAN how did you find the song that plays during the fight with Murasa?! I've been all over google and youtube and can't find it anywhere :( I really wanna listen to it by itself and maybe even download it.

[@FrogsgoKeroKero]

The boss itself IS WAY TOO HARD Stupid Time Spell T~T I always hate that spell and giving me nightmares

[@PureQuestionD13]

Oh wow Diddy Kong Racing. I remember that game. XD Let's do the typo thing. 2:41 Trapped 3:13 Why censor it now after the end of the last vid? 6:00 Get Good job otherwise.

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

I cant... dat last Spell Card for the pink old genie thing orz HOW DO U DO IT?! DX I SUCK SO MUCH

[@darkkijin]

Why was there no name on the spellcard information bar during Murasa's survival card? Or your record with that card to be exact?

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

lol ur so funny poor link ik XD I feel ur pain XD LAWL

[@RealityMasterRogue]

ever heard of nakateleeli? he is one of the few gods on youtube and he replied to my comment. however, he also has 2000+ videos, so it's MUCH more rare that he replied. no offense, raak, but having you reply to my comment isn't too amazing.

[@Zellig]

Lol @ "this song is so catchy" which of zun's arent XD

[@Random1a2b3c4d5e6f7g]

God, I HATE that final timeout card! =.=

[@OmegaTaishu]

Where did you get the first song?

[@TheForgottenCherish]

Well that was a pretty pointless comment > >

[@dosy77]

is Minamitsu Murasa from an anime?

[@RealityMasterRogue]

be quiet, I have trolled people OFF OF GAMES before. I could do it to you too OVO WALKING LIKE BABIES

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

heh

[@kimcringson7106]

How do you move fast in focused mode?

[@raak1010]

Kim Cringson I don't? I move at the normal focused speed for Reimu. I do leave focus mode when I need a quick burst of speed before focusing again.

[@keithbubb730]

Another answer, 75% of the players stare at the enemy, the trick is to stare at your own character and don't worry if not all shots hit the enemy

[@stilbit77]

@raak1010

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

not for meh DX

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

owo; dont brag?

[@fittyyen]

ok this is getting silly. you spend WAY too much time on Tvtropes
