Translating the Ran/Yukari support was a rollercoaster of emotion.

Of all the casualwear Touhous, I can't decide if Tewi's arm/hood hybrid or Mokou with shorts is the most confusing. The portraits in general seem to have awkward cut off points with respect to the character designs.

All the pages have been censored except for "heck," and she misread that one.


I'm honestly glad Mystia's a good unit in this, she was my favorite character when I first got into Touhou. :3:

Same, and I'm hoping that there's a Mystia/Yuyuko support just for shenanigans.

:siren: Strawpoll for the next chapters supports :siren:


Please be aware that, if you vote for Ran/Yukari S, neither of them will be able to S-support anyone else. For reference, Yukari's other possible supports are SM, Youki, Aya, and Alice. Meanwhile, Ran can also. hit S with Chen. In case that influences your decision making, at all.

I know I said I didn't recall supports being overtly romantic, but the Ran/Yukari one has some powerfully gay energy. It was also a pain in the rear end to translate.

Kyouko/Kogasa sure went into a completely unexpected direction there. I'm super curious to see where it leads.

Also maybe not give S ranks as a choice just yet? That way we'd get to see if there's others before voting for something that will lock up the rest.

Also also I love dumb exploits that let you actually beat bosses you shouldn't. The game seemed prepared for it too with the weapon drop (though no dialogue) so points to the people behind it.

Since you're within range of the S-rank, would it be too inconvenient to record it, and then just reload so you can still access other S-rank scenes later?

I do that for every support already anyway, so I caaaaaan...

But y'all gotta commit to your choices, IMO.


By the way, at some point I might add supports to the voting list that I haven't personally unlocked, since I can just rip the scripts out of the files now. Dunno if if/how I'll do it, since I wouldn't have screenshots to go with them, but I'm thinking about it.

Woops I hosed up and wrote the strawpoll as kogasa/kyouko A, but it's actually their S support.

Just for reference, Kogasa's possible supports are Kyouko and Yoshika. Meanwhile, Kyouko's only possible support is Kogasa. Just in case that influences your decision.

No supports this chapter? I didn't see a link in the update.

I know the Ayas are spelled differently, but I always thought it was weird anyway that Hieda no Aya isn't referred to as Hieda. Not just for the above reason, but because that emphasises the connection she has to Akyuu.

Also it's totally in character for Seiga to be unhelpful and just rely on others to pull her weight for her.

God, I hosed up everything in this chapter, didn't I...

Ok, I edited links to the supports into the update itself. I also added them to the OP (I assume Eeepies noticed that), but for anyone that missed them:

Kogasa/Kyouko A
Mokou/Tewi B

Once I actually have both on the team, I'll probably start calling them Hieda and Shameimaru, when I need to differentiate.

While the Supports are a land of missed opportunities in general (presumably due to time constraints) I'm still sad Aya/Aya isn't a thing.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

Even just the name Aya emphasizes the connection in Japanese, since the kanji for 'A' at the beginning is the same. In case you don't know, the names of every single one of her incarnations is a number -based pun: Akyuu is a homonym for A9 while Aya is a homonym for A8. The original Hieda no Are is of course A0.

I wish all the A-ranks felt like conclusions in of themselves because that Mokou/Tewi most definitely did not feel like one.

Can't wait until you move in and conquer the tengu territory for yourself, overthrowing the tenma...

Is that why each subsequent Hieda is half the size of the previous one? Unless they're not ISO compliant...

The actual serious answer is that Akyuu is only ten when she first appears.

Royalty is a continuous ripping and tearing motion.

I'm trying to find a comic I read once where Akyuu gets a knock on the head, and then in a panel gag starts introducing herself as her new incarnation, Hieda no Aju.
