Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these never appeared as a reason to investigate an "incident" in any of the games up to "Ten Desires"?

Answer: Water had seeped from the lakes and flooded the whole place

Going from games 6-13 along with spinoffs, as of yet there's not been a water-based game. The most water-based the games got was fighting Nitori in "Mountain of Faith"!

2. Aya's first appearance was in "Mountain of Faith", wasn't it?

Answer: No, it was "Phantasmagoria Flower View"

No, it wasn't, contrary to certain beliefs! Her first appearance was in "Phantasmagoria Flower View", and actually, her dialogue in the tenth game reflects this. The fifth stage midboss was Sanae herself, and "Shoot the Bullet" came after "Phantasmagoria Flower View".

3. How many of the games are weather-related (up to "Ten Desires")?

Answer: Three

"Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" was related to weather in that a scarlet mist had been summoned to block out the sun. "Perfect Cherry Blossom" was in that the prolonged winter was suspicious. "Scarlet Weather Rhapsody"... the clue is in the title (it's also the first of the fighters to incorporate a weather system to affect the character's powers).

4. According to "Symposium of Post-Mysticism", how did Yoshika meet her end?

Answer: Poisoning is suspected after investigation

While the book didn't give a concrete answer, Akyuu did say that after being examined, it seemed as though she was killed by poison. It's probably safe to assume this is true due to the lack of evidence proving otherwise.

5. How many characters have been introduced in the mangas and written works?

Answer: Five

Kasen Ibara was introduced in "Touhou Ibarakasen (Wild and Horned Hermit)", the Three Mischievous Fairies (Star Sapphire, Luna Child and Sunny Milk) were introduced in "Touhou Sangetsusei (Strange and Bright Nature Deity)", and Akyuu Hieda narrates all of the official written works for the fandom aside from the mangas.

6. Which of these Western names was NOT given to a character up to "Ten Desires"?

Answer: Rose

Alice, of course, has been taken by Alice Margatroid, Lily by Lily White and Lily Black, and Letty by Letty Whiterock. Rose has not been taken as a name.

7. How many humans (half, quarter, and debated) are in the games, in total?

Answer: Six

Reimu and Marisa are humans, Sanae is a demigod, and Youmu and Keine are half-human. Sakuya is debated but assumed human.

8. In total from the games from "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" to "Ten Desires", how many girls with unnaturally-colored hair are there?

Answer: 24

In order, the list goes:
-Cirno, Patchouli, Remilia
-Letty, Merlin, Yuyuko
-Komachi, Shiki, Yuuka
-Wriggle, Mystia, Keine, Reisen
-Hina, Nitori, Sanae, Kanako
-Nazrin, Kogasa, Ichirin
-Kyouko, Seiga
-Tenshi, Iku
Blonde, brown, black and white were not counted as unnatural colors. Gray does become natural with age, so it does still count, and since white is an extension of gray, it also counts.

9. Which of these abbreviations does not appear for a game title?

Answer: SaBND

SaBND stands for "Strange and Bright Nature Deity", which was the English part of the "Sangetsusei" manga title. IaMP, PoFV and StB stand for "Immaterial and Missing Power", "Phantasmagoria of Flower View" and "Shoot the Bullet", which are all legitimate Windows games.

10. Including "PC-98", midbosses such as Momiji and Koakuma, and spinoffs, how many female characters are there altogether, up to "Shinreibyou (Ten Desires)"?

Answer: 96

This is the result reached when you take into account the unnamed midbosses (such as Koakuma) and "PC-98" bosses. None of the characters were counted twice (such as Yuuka, who appeared somewhere around five games).
