I forget, did the United States actually go to war with the moon rabbits in Touhou lore or not?

One of the main characters of Jojo has a last name that uses the same kanji as Touhou does for its name, so his name can be read as Touhou Jojo.

A three-legged pet Hell Raven, guardian of the Flames of Old Hell, absorbed the ancient god of Nuclear Fusion, Yatagarasu, and became incredibly powerful. A newcomer to Gensokyo, Kanako(Goddess of Wind and Rain) arranged this combination in an attempt to create a nuclear power source for Gensokyo, but it went wrong because Utsuho is so incredibly stupid that she tried to obliterate everything and turn the surface world into a new Hell of Blazing Fires. Utsuho, being a natural-born idiot, was able to far exceed the expected powers from absorbing Yatagarasu, because his powers become more significant the dumber the wielder is. And Utsuho is a total bird-brain.

Yes, the storylines in Touhou are great. They are most likely penned while the author is totally blasted, as that's when he often works; when drinking heavily. Most of his musical compositions are done while drunk, or so the rumors go. For example, one time he wanted to recreate an old theme for a new game, and tried to remake this:

But wound up creating this instead

I think it was an improvement, really.

The plot of every Touhou game.

"Hey, something weird is going on. I'm gonna kick everyone's asses until I find out who did it."

"I'm the one who did it."

"You're an idiot."

"No, you are."

"I'm gonna kick your rear end!"

By the way, aside from the numerous references to JoJo in the main games, ZUN's made it pretty clear he loves it. The biggest reference of which is Izayoi Sakuya, time stopping, knife throwing maid of a vampire.

One of her super moves gets pretty blunt about this fact in one of the official fighting games.





Now for non-Sakuyas:

Inari is my favourite Touhou fanartist these days. Also up there is Chamupei, because, seriously:




And, of course, the single greatest Touhou fanwork that was ever created:

That's nothing new, there were even two Touhou Soccer games that I think were modeled after the Captain Tsubasa games, but I haven't played either that or Touhou Soccer so I'm not 100% sure.

That is also arguably one of the dumbest memes Touhou has spawned.
