Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Many "Touhou" fans are familiar with the "PC-98" era games. Which one of these was NOT a "PC-98" game?

Answer: "Wild Horned Hermit"

"Wild and Horned Hermit" (Touhou Ibarakasen) was a manga in which the character Kasen Ibaraki was introduced. The rest are actual titles from the "PC-98" era.

2. Although last stage bosses are usually the perpetrators of whatever incident is the plotline of the game, who was the main perpetrator of the "Subterranean Animism" game?

Answer: Kanako Yasaka

While it is true that Utsuho and Rin did play a lot of roles in the incident (such as Rin sending spirits above the surface and Utsuho's power creating a geyser), none of the game would have happened if Kanako had not given Utsuho nuclear powers. Since she is the main root of the plot, she can be considered the main perpetrator.

3. Although she appears in many games (as a playable character and an enemy), what is the game in which Marisa showed up for the first time?

Answer: "Story of Eastern Wonderland"

"Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil" was the first WINDOWS game Marisa appeared in. She appeared a long time before in the "PC-98" games.

4. Focusing on the Windows games, since not many fans play "PC-98"... how many characters have been described as bicolor (two colors)?

Answer: 3 (Reimu, Sanae and Marisa)

Sakuya's never been outright described as "blue-white". However, Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae have been described as red-white, black-white and blue-white (in that order).

5. Which of these characters has never been playable in any game, linear or spin-off?

Answer: Flandre

Cirno was playable in both "Hisouten", "Phantasmagoria Flower View" and "Great Fairy Wars". Sanae was playable in "Undefined Fantastic Object", "Ten Desires", and "Hisouten". Meilin was playable in "Hisouten". Flandre's only appearance was as the EX-stage boss of "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil".

6. What role did Rumia play in "Mountain of Faith"?

Answer: None- she didn't appear

Rumia's only appearance was in "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil". Aya's midboss was Momiji, there wasn't an Extra stage midboss, and the stage 1 boss was Minoriko.

7. What was the most recent appearance of Komachi?

Answer: In "Scarlet Weather Rhapsody" as a playable character (PC).

She is a playable character in "Scarlet Weather Rhapsody" and can be seen threatening Tenshi! She has appeared in mangas such as "Sangetsusei", but her game appearance was the most recent.

8. We'll make this a little harder than the others; how many themes does Aya have?

Answer: Three

She has Wind God Girl, Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain, and a remix of Wind God Girl that was used in "Scarlet Weather Rhapsody". However, since many consider the remix to be the same as the original, 2 is also a valid answer.

9. Let's pander to memes and have a Cirno question now. How did the (9) joke come to be?

Answer: ZUN labeled Cirno (the playable character) as number 9, the idiot, in the "PoFV" manual.

In the manual for "Phantasmagoria of Flower View", when ZUN was describing how the split-screen mechanism works, he was playing as Cirno. He labeled her as the ninth object on the screen, and on the key he put "(9) = Idiot". This is where the joke of (9) and "baka" comes from.

10. And now something very very easy. How many Windows games are there in total (up to "Ten Desires")?

Answer: Fourteen

There are 14 WINDOWS games including the spinoffs. Without including these, there are 8.
