While her theme is not nearly as epic as others final boss themes (read: utusho) It actually very fitting for her backstory and for the stage itself.
P.D. The first time I heard it I imagined Byakuren saying something like this: "I see, you dont belive in equality.... At least you will die with peace"
heh, for that yukari-like spellcard, I thought it shot that big bullet right down the center instead of *at* you. Now I might be able to capture it :)
That last Spellcard has KANAKO written all over it. It looks like her spellcard, but this one has like energy strings running all over the amulets and it's kinda confusing at first.
This theme might not seem final boss like but when I think about it I can't imagine it for any other boss. and also it's definetly the light from the scroll making her hair purple.
@username7112 I'm really sorry for responding to almost a year-old comment, but it's really bugging me. Byakuren's hair is purple when she makes her entrance BEFORE she opens up her scroll. It is also not the lighting of the stage that could make her hair purple because Shou's hair would have had a hue to it as well since she is in Makai.
So I'm just wondering how are you able to so successfully and reliably death bomb? I've haven't been able to death bomb properly since Imperishable Night XD
It takes a lot of reflex and a little foresight at times. Basically, stuff that you can only hone in by practicing.
Also, avoid using IN as a base for deathbombing. it has the largest deathbomb grace known to Shump-kind (about a quarter of a second after death if I remember correctly.)
The second to last card (the one before the survival card) looks a lot like Yukari's Xanatu of Straight and Curve SC with just more random straight lines of danmaku coming out of random directions.
I think this song is one of the most "emotional sounding" ZUN ever churned out... but yeah I do agree that it doesn't fit the moment as much as it usually does (except for MoF which sucked in my opinion).
Plus that song as something different from all others, making it more unique... so yeah, it's all good.
Not final boss worthy? The music is definitely last boss worthy. Just cause it isn't as "epic" doesn't mean it isn't. It has power and a style suiting the boss that makes it definitely worthy for Hiziri, a hard as hell final boss.
I'm going to guess the first one. Thats the only one thats remotely close to one of Yukari's cards.
Cause the 2nd card closely resembles one of Yuyuko's, and the 4th card for everyone that has played the PC-98 games knows is a steal of Shinki's 2nd last attack.
Therefore, Byakuren Hiziri = the new Thief Type of Touhou.
@Grimffer I dont see any other comments pointing this out, but she also stole a non-spell as well. Remilia's opener in EoSD and Byakuren's opener look very similar.
the only reason you probably feel its harder is because its new
funnily enough, i blazed through stage 4-5-6 much faster than SA, although the UFO system is pretty annoying in how many times it got me killed cause i went for a UFO
The spellcard translates to Great Magic "Demon God's Rehearsal" (or Great Magic "Demon God's Recitation" on Hard/Lunatic.)
It's a pretty obvious reference. The fight takes place in Makai and the stage BGM uses the heartbeat theme Zun said he wanted to try in Mystic Square.
@mewbra123
Games are called Touhou. It's for the pc and this is the 12th one Undefined Fantastic Object. Look on eBay to buy. Research on Touhou Wikia.

Record them with the program fraps, encode them with either virtualdub or windows media player, then i upload.

you're right i just don't remember the YUKARI card which byakuren copies,but i know it's one of the last.
I think Byakuren and Marisa can be really good friends now and i'm looking foward for doujins with this joke XD

@Drayenomg That would be the Xanadu of Straight and Curve-copy, Devil's Recitation. But it seems like it looks like Shinki's attack too.

HARDER than the previous ones?
i mean a lot harder
and i felt a really high jump of difficulty in touhou form the 6-7-8 to 10-11 and then again another jump D:
I had enough troubles with kanako and Utsusho already t-t

the only reason you probably feel its harder is because its new
funnily enough, i blazed through stage 4-5-6 much faster than SA, although the UFO system is pretty annoying in how many times it got me killed cause i went for a UFO

=/
but for example i look at nazrin and kogasa stages
and they dont look like stage 1-2 bosses
i feel like fighting a stage 3 (in terms of dificulty) for example if you go to touhou 6-7-8
I did stages 1-3 without using focus
Just steamroffling all over the stage
Anyways im talking about "normal"
tthething 2 years ago
nazrin is very easy in my opinion, i agree that kogasa is probably the hardest stage 2 boss in the game however.
Drayenomg 2 years ago
not that she is "hard"
but if i compare to any other lvl1 boss it seems harder like everything its just 1 step ahead
lvl 1 is hard as a lvl 2
lvl 2 as a lvl 3
etc

Also playing stage 4
i was thinking
hey this isnt that hard... nope its doable more hard than other stage 4 but the jump in dificulty from lvl 3 wasnt that big
until she became invulnerable
come on that is usually extra boss only =(
