Oh, hah, so the entire plot of this game is "gently caress the moon, it's bullshit." Nice.

Isn't Chang'e the same character as Kaguya-hime? Or in Touhou is there both a Chang'e and a Princess Kaguya?

Why is there a Greek Titan now messing with Chinese moon deities Also apparently Junko is the physical manifestation of Lunarian hatred (due to Yi killing her sons) along with being a wife of the god Di Jun. The characters of her name also implies her to have connections with the Huli Jing of Chinese myth. amuayse fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Aug 14, 2015 |

Okay, here's the plot (I think): Junko is a former Lunarian who has a grudge against Chang'e (although she doesn't even care why anymore, since she purified her own grudge and is now pure grudge). Chang'e is locked up in the Lunar Capital at all times, so she can't reach her. She came up with a plan get her to move by laying siege to the Lunar Capital with purified fairies, who are made of pure impurity (life energy). When the Lunarians are forced to evacuate, she'll have an opportunity to attack Chang'e while she's being transported. She didn't have any fairies on the moon though, so she called in her good friend Hecatia, a god of Hell, who's always in favor of some sweet sweet vengeance. Clownpiece is a minion of Hecatia's, who's being borrowed by Junko. The moon has no atmosphere or plants or anything, but Clownpiece loves it anyway because it's better than Hell. The Lunarians responded to the encroaching impurity by moving to the Dream World (which I guess doesn't really count as moving), where they created a perfect replica of the Lunar Capital out of dreams, and most of the residents don't even realize they've moved. Junko predicted this though, so she got Hecatia to help out on that front too with more fairies. Anyway, the Lunar Sages (apparently including Sagume?) realize that they're losing this battle, so they come up with a plan to move the Lunar Capital to Gensokyo, just in case (which would kill everyone there, but whatever). This plan revolves around Sagume's powers, which is to change the world with her words. She's basically a super amanojaku god who can only tell lies. Not because she's a liar, but because the world hates her and makes anything she says untrue. Reality warper tier. So she made the Power Stones from ULiL, which have a bit of her power to make untrue things true. When worse comes to worst, she can trigger them at any time by spreading a rumor about the Lunar Capital, which would immediately cause it to materialize in Gensokyo and purify the surrounding area (ie: kill everyone). Eirin doesn't want that though, so she sends purified-through-drugs protagonists to the moon via the Dream World. Sagume realizes that they don't give a poo poo about impurity, so they can attack Junko's base directly. And then they do, the end. Junko is ultimately satisfied with the resolution because frankly she thought winning like this would be too easy, and she's glad that the Lunarians are still crafty enough to stop her.

Apparently Hecate's three-body nature was necessary to invade the Dream World, or something like that. Oh yeah, "powers". Sagume has the power to reverse whatever she says. Clownpiece has the power to drive you crazy. Junko has the power to purify. Hecatia has the power to have three bodies in three worlds at the same time.

So if the world hates you and makes everything you say untrue, but the opposite of everything you say can be made true -  gently caress it, it's a game made by an alcoholic Japanese man about magical mythology girls shooting each other

Help, I'm incapable of reading the name "Clownpiece" without sniggering. Is this what it was like when Imperishable Night came out and you had to get through "Wriggle Nightbug" with a straight face?

No, but since Clownpiece is only "the hardest in a while" I assume there must be someone tougher than her. And Rin's is probably the character i've died the most to across all Touhous, so she seemed like a good guess.

Wait. So if the plot is The MOON IS UNDER ATTACK! Oh no, they're planning on enacting a DEVILIOUS PLAN to kinda PARK MOON TOWN on Gensokyo to ESCAPE! does that mean that Reisen's plot her being a disgraced moon soldier who ran away to greener pastures coming back in her home's time of need to rambo every motherfucker there is, outshine both the Lunarian and Hell armies and come back home for dinner? what loving drugs did Eirin give her
