EoSD Stage 3 Boss - Hong Meiling's Theme - Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17

[swordmastter]

@themouthopener reason y i ask is because i thought i could find a pandora channel at least related to hear these songs

[themouthopener]

@swordmastter There's not one, I've checked. :(

[swordmastter]

Can anybody tell me the artists or artist of all these touhou songs

[themouthopener]

@swordmastter ZUN, the creator of the games, makes these himself.

[Roo520]

@themouthopener You mean Reimu's God, right? The God in her shrine?"

[teamrocket46]

the begining reminds me of the game corner in pokemon platinum

[sjawarrior]

I actually prefer this song to Shanghai Teahouse. It has a very intense feel to it; a suitable backdrop for the player's little duel with Meiling in EoSD.

[SoulOfRandomness]

@sjawarrior Agreed.

Both are truly amazing, but this is just a masterpiece... Well, all of ZUN's songs are. Shanghai Teahouse is a great relaxing theme, but this is where the fighting happens. With nice rhytms and background noise, it makes fighting Meiling funner than Cirno.

[Ac6476]

Someone said Meiling wears pants. Its CAMOFLAUGED!!!

[ZXShadow1]

Hong Meiling = Captain Falcon of Touhou

[acario100]

@ZXShadow1 and 1 person just got meiling punched

[Nyxlave]

ZUN even hints at her not being human in his song comments. ^.^

[OlaCola03]

Happy dragon year everyone ^^

[momokun90]

pants made of china

[OlaCola03]

@momokun90 I lol'ed xD

[Elim777]

Meiling is my favorite chinese redhead.

[timbits1o1]

@Elim777 That's an oxymoron.

[Elim777]

@timbits1o1 Yeah, that's the joke.

[YuugiTheStrong]

Meiling isn't a dragon, she is simply the Dovahkiin, Dragonborn.

[ChibiTails]

@YuugiTheStrong

Meiling used to be an adventurer like you, then she took an arrow in the knee. Now she works as a guard.

[shengaochan]

@ChibiTails "knife'd in the knee"

Fixed

[Da3m0nOm3gA117]

@ChibiTails In their tongue, she is "Dovakiin": Dragonborn!

Meiling: FUS RO DAH!

MIND BLOWN

[Hunteristics]

@YuugiTheStrong I don't recall a Fus Ro Dah in that fight...

[Ecrada]

@Hunteristics She does not need to shout at enemies.

[Hunteristics]

@Ecrada True, but I feel the need to shout: "WHAT THE FUCK IS ALL THIS SHIT AND WHY IS IT ON EVERY PIXEL ON THE SCREEN???"

[Ecrada]

@Hunteristics ...True.

[psibrianman]

@YuugiTheStrong

Then she took an arrow to the knee and had to become a gatekeeper

[ChibiTails]

....Huh. This sounds a lot like Bad Apple.

[staticmcawesome]

@ChibiTails wat. how?

[ChibiTails]

@staticmcawesome

Listen at about 0:39

[sharpy748]

@ChibiTails There's a remix here: /watch?v=-ytMwnPZjVo which fully explores this by implementing a section of Bad Apple into SAoM17. It really is quite strange just how well it fits.

[tsubasaotorifangirl]

Playing in the flowers one second, next second running from Sakuya with a knife in the back of her head.....what a day

[jawsTeh]

@tsubasaotorifangirl Then before you know it, your fighting a vampire, then her crazy sister whos locked in the basement

[DigitalYoshii]

Through the rainbow~ =D

Kyakkya~

[LemonMeringueFox]

RAINBOW WINDCHIIIIIIIME -:D

[SoulOfRandomness]

@LemonMeringueFox PRETTY COLOOOOOOOOOOO-- *Seizure*

[GensokyoGal301]

Meiling is a GILF.

Gatekeeper I'd love to-...

You get the idea.

[gamerseye171]

@GensokyoGal301 Frollick through the flowers. :3

[Beta7847]

@GensokyoGal301 that being i guess sakuya is a milf (maid id like to-) LOL

[Sab2Intros]

@GensokyoGal301 Flip?:D

[RemnantZX]

@GensokyoGal301

Gatekeeper you'd like to fight?

You'll die for sur... Oh, wait...

You'll still die for sure, that ain't changin' any time soon.

[GensokyoGal301]

@RemnantZX

At least I could brag to the other souls on the trip across the Sanzu when I fight her~

[AnonymousJustified]

@GensokyoGal301

Flounder? What?

[psychochickendelivry]

its not hong meiling its....CHINA

[SoulOfRandomness]

@psychochickendelivry It's............... HONG CHINA

[fevimaster]

The first threatening boss of the game, as well as the first boss-like theme of the game, as well as MY FAVOURITE THEME FROM THE ENTIRE GAME :DDDDDD

[glopso360]

@fevimaster

Not really, the only one I really had trouble with (in normal mode) was rainbow wind chime, and even that I got used to dodging.

[fevimaster]

@glopso360 Oh, but compare her to Cirno and Rumia.

[glopso360]

@fevimaster

You win

[LunarWingCloud]

@glopso360 Rainbow Wind Chime is honestly not too bad depending on if I keep steady. It's the random nature of Extreme Color Typhoon and Colorful Rain before it that can get me.

[glopso360]

@LunarWingCloud

When I first got to level 3 Wind chime was probably harder than the other two cards, but I'm not sure why.

[roman6a]

isn't this the same pic that pineapple used on the same theme?

[Orghtang]

Like a boss :))

[Dougidogg69]

Love this boss. :D

[ZXShadow1]

She is simply known as the Chinese Girl...

[PrimaPunchy]

@ZXShadow1 just like Kagura

[SoulOfRandomness]

@Trueblade808 She does have red hair. MEILING IS THE RED DRAGON!

[Trueblade808]

ok~

Hong means red....

so Meilings name means actually Red Dragon?

hmm.....scarlet is also red......

pretty interesting^^

[deamondogboy]

@Trueblade808 Her last name means red, but Meiling means beautiful bell. Long is Chinese for dragon.

[animekirby100]

Meiling-san is a dragon-youkai?

In Japanese mythology, dragons are of the highest power.

Now then, see my point?

[Aerodeth]

@animekirby100

Now that's a dragon I wouldnt mind entering if you know what I mean! ;D

[animeking1357]

@animekirby100 I see your point sigh if only Zun did too and made Meiling super powerful!

[burnerthehedgehog]

@animekirby100 ahh, but Meiling is aCHINESE dragon! therefore japanese mythology is completely irrelevant to her.

[animekirby100]

@burnerthehedgehog ah, but in both Chinese and Japanese legend, dragons are legendary, immortal and POWERFUL creatures.

[SoulOfRandomness]

@PokeKai493

Fact: Meiling's writing on the star says Dragon and a lot more stuff related.

IN theory, Meiling is actually a Dragon

Fact: Meiling is a sexeh Dragon. W00P W00P for Dragons

[koolkid495]

SAKUYA: Hey China!

MEILING: What?

SAKUYA: Knife!!

it works perfectly!!!!

[InzuDraRagna]

DAMMIT CHINA! GET BACK TO WORK! *punts China like an American Football into the Scarlet Devil Mansion's clock* It's good!

[Skittythepokemon]

@InzuDraRagna Its Meiling.

[InzuDraRagna]

@Skittythepokemon Oh I know that. I just like "trolling" Hong Meiling.

[Charizard632]

43+405=448

4+4*8=36

3+6=⑨

[Skittythepokemon]

If I could play this game, I would. FLAN-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! (Ufufu...) XD

[GentlemanAeon777]

Theory: Meiling is a dragon.

Facts Known: Hong is the name of a dragon,

Rainbows symbolize dragons.

The star on her hat says "dragon"

Thumbs up if you Think this should be truth.

[Mewkyuu]

@GentlemanAeon777 No FYIAD jokes yet?

[gokk777]

@GentlemanAeon777 let's just hope she doesn't turn to one like someone in mortal kombat

[TripleFactorial]

@GentlemanAeon777 There's more to it than just that:

- Aya (DS): Apparently rainbows are a type of Dragon God...

- Quite a few of Meiling's SCs involve weather in some way, a major dragon motif in Chinese mythology

Look up "Hong Meiling is A/The Dragon" for more on it (I did some stuff on this theory months ago & don't feel like summarizing something that big)

[ZXShadow1]

@GentlemanAeon777 Hong literally means "Scarlet". Therefore, she's a Scarlet Dragon.

[Raikaria1]

@GentlemanAeon777 It's 'Long' that means Dragon in Chinese, not Hong.

Hong means Scarlet. I think he name probobly means Scarlet Guard or something. Which is appropriate.

[zackattack50ful]

@Raikaria1 he said "Hong is the name of a dragon" not the word meaning dragon, your correction of it (although you didnt follow what he said) was interesting though

[GentlemanAeon777]

@Raikaria1 No, I mean in mythology there was a dragon named Hong. I read it in raak1010's EoSD lunatic playthrough.

[Ultimatezeldafan4]

@GentlemanAeon777 ...

and there is a dragon drawn in the background on the top left :D

[Spirit70Dark]

@Ultimatezeldafan4 Yeah I see it.

[whapperivar]

@GentlemanAeon777 and in many pictures a dragon lures over her shoulder

[SAMChannelVids]

@GentlemanAeon777 and it's a dragon in the background on this picture ^_^

[LeekGallade85]

@GentlemanAeon777 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. I read a book about dragons.

[Da3m0nOm3gA117]

Taste the Rainbow!

[Matirod]

@MarioWars what's the problem with the Dragon? O: tell me !!! D:

[futsalfred2]

Meiling could kick Sakuya's ass and rape her with her futa penis if she wanted to.

Its just that she just doesn't give enough of a shit to do so.

[aut316]

@futsalfred2 you read too much doujiln for that

[videogamescoverftw]

@futsalfred2 Right... thats why Sukuya does that when Meiling sleeps through her shift x_x

[futsalfred2]

@videogamescoverftw Meiling lets her :3

[videogamescoverftw]

@futsalfred2 ewwwww you just....... huh, now that i think about it that would be awesome to watch :)

[WheezyBeardLover]

@videogamescoverftw AGREED.

[LuigiAndMario11]

@ScottZirpolo FYIAD

[theloltimatecold]

@HolyEyEolo because its touhou...

[HolyEyEolo]

whose meiling dammit??

[theloltimatecold]

@HolyEyEolo that person at the video

[burnerthehedgehog]

@HolyEyEolo the one in the picture.

[caramelllllo]

@AnimeCookieTime Fact: her music is awesome too

[Shintear]

"I'm totally a dragon."

- Hong Meiling

[TehManaGoma]

Meiling a lot like Yoshika Miyako...

Yoshika's also a bit like remilia..(hair)

but more like flandre...(Yoshika's crazy)

[silverjolteonpmd]

is it just me or dose this kinda sound like bad apple?

[videogamescoverftw]

@silverjolteonpmd Its just you :)

[PkKumatora8]

Meiling, you lost your hat. Pick it up because I don't like slipping.

[RavenRedEye901]

I called her "Master of Guns", because she throw to you a lot of bullets, and sometimes unpredictable.

[firesniperbullet2]

She has nice legs

[Moonchipz]

@firesniperbullet2 "With long, beautiful, supple legs, my name is Hong Meiling."

Seriously, that's what she thinks of herself xD

[gsrules34]

@firesniperbullet2 .......Ever heard of Chun Li before?--- Agh nevermind....

[firesniperbullet2]

@gsrules34 OH GOD YES/I dont know who has better legs XD

[gsrules34]

@firesniperbullet2 Touhou has always the better

[clubroblox3893]

Seizure.

[leafyxcrowy4eva]

Awesome theme, but I don't like fighting to it. Don't know why.

[GentlemanAeon777]

@leafyxcrowy4eva Meiling is a master at throwing clusterfucks of bullets. Just look at "Extreme Color Typhoon"

[ChoklitBizkit]

SAKUYA-SAN SAKUYA SAN CLEANING STOP. ROOM CLEANING STOP.

[ReimuHakureiShrine]

@ChoklitBizkit Wut

[HydraWolf1]

@ChoklitBizkit -Knife-

[CharizardShinySH]

@HydraWolf1 Hong Meiling, Hong Meiling, Hong Meiling, Hong Meiling, Hong Meiling, Hong Meiling, Hong Meiling, HO-N-ME-I-LI-N ...

Meiling, Meiling, watashi wa Meiling

Meiling, Meiling, Hong Meiling ...

[HydraWolf1]

@CharizardShinySH I don't know how to respond to that, maybe if I ...*Clicks Knife button, comment gets knifed* Oops...

[gsrules34]

The walls of the SDM Gate doesnt have even a magical barrier(implies that the gate is almost useless)

[Ocanaut]

xP Rainbow Wind Chime = Instant Death >.<

[MapleNabuk]

@Ocanaut Only on Hard+

[pratama000]

Best song in EoSD ever

[FlashOfSonic]

They should've used this in Hisoutensoku instead of Chinese Tea.

[DerAlbert123]

I still think The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil is the best Touhou game

[truehammerneji]

@DerAlbert123 thats a tough one. i loved it sure, but it wasn't until perfect cherry blossom that we get to play as sakuya :3 making it a tie for first.

[XBakaNinGyoX]

If she meets Chun Li , the gate gonna be horrible .

[theloltimatecold]

@XBakaNinGyoX She cant lose to Chun Li,Not as both Chinese,they have both magic and strength,when two forces collide,Meiling would have a lil respect

[ZestyandAngel]

has anyone else noticed how simular this song is' to bad apple!!' at all? anyone? i can hear some of the parts from it in here clearly.

[VaticanIscariot]

@ZestyandAngel you may be right... you may be right.. XD

[Jennathehedgehog18]

@ZestyandAngel Yep. I thought so to. :D

[whizzmaster3000]

EoSD songs are the best Touhou songs, imo. They're lively, easy to catch along with, and sound beautiful in both original form and in remixes!

[VaticanIscariot]

@whizzmaster3000 EOSD songs are easily the best in the series. I do love the songs for some bonus stage bosses like mokou or suwako or koiji

[animeking1357]

The one person who disliked this lost to Meiling more times than anyone lost to Airman.

[jettythesunfish]

JAOOO!

[ShadowkingSonic]

@theshippfan22 Flandre: DAMN RIGHT! The only thing I cant instantly kill is Kaguya, Mokou, and THAT GODDAMN SOCCER BALL!! >:(ANGRYFAIC! But yeah Chuck Norris cant do SHIT against me.

[greg0050]

not to put the hate on meiling but has she realyl ever GUARDED anything?

[animeking1357]

@greg0050 If the stakes are not high, no she'll just sleep on the job. When the stakes are high however... XD

[Yoshi17th]

This picture sure is GREAT.

Seriously.

[0odarkheroo0]

@AnimeCookieTime I approve of this fact being true

[JesusvsJesus]

"...there is a saying that Shrine Maidens are the kind of people you're allowed to eat"

[DarknessH2]

@JesusvsJesus Then afterward she got devoured instead.

Lol, Karma is a bitch.

[OotHEWoW]

Fact: Meiling is sexeh.

[storkman12345]

@OotHEWoW i'll give you that one

[Reiner1028]

@OotHEWoW

Fact: Meiling is a sexeh unicorn.

Reason: In EoSD she shoots rainbows of Danmaku, in the touhou fighting games she shits out rainbows. This is emphasized in Touhou 12.3 where her spellcards when you first fought her have the useless guard shitting out rainbow crystals out you, along with farting out rainbows.

[PokeKai493]

@Reiner1028 So Meiling is infact a sexeh Nyan Cat.

[RobotxObsessedxMoron]

@OotHEWoW Anyone who says otherwise will be beaten up via Meiling's awesome Tai Chi skills.

[trziman]

Can I get the link to this pic please?

[trziman]

Ok I have three fights paired up;

Martail Arts Fight: Meiling vs Bruce Lee

Wisdom Fight: Patchouli vs Steven Hawkins

Total BADASS fight: Flandre vs Chuck Norris

Who will win and what would be most awesome?

[Ap0ske]

@trziman

3. Patchouli vs Steven Hawkins: No doubt about it, Patchy would win

2. Meiling vs Bruce Lee: Hard one... Probably a draw?

1. Flandre vs Chuck Norris: Chuck would probably just shift into the 3rd dimension and fly over Flandre's Bullets, so...

[imaketwinks]

@Ap0ske Flandre vs Chuck Noriss: Depends what difficulty level it's set to =3

[clubroblox3893]

@imaketwinks Extra levels have a pre set difficulty.

FUUUUUUU

[joelcll]

@Ap0ske patchy sure wins...also, she moves ^^ a bit more¬¬

a fair fight meilingVSbruce..... but he would get distracted by her....eeer...awsomeness? ¬¬ .... XD

i wont argue flandre, it was already cleared

[shymin12356]

@Ap0ske Na Flandre would look better killing Ronald....

[1McMurph]

Just got done beating her on hard woot!

[MsSeaKittens]

I love the conversation between Meiling and Marisa. xD

[ShadowOfElias]

Meiling. The only other person awesome enough to be able to pull off a Falcon Punch.

[Sableneko]

@ShadowOfElias Reisen does a Falcon Punch too. Meiling's is more impressive, though. 8 full seconds of airtime!

[Raptordavid25]

Thanks for the upload, can I also have a link to the picture?

[BlasterCZ]

Her colorful and so random spellcards drive me crazy :D But I still love her!

[Cyberleader12]

I think that Sakuya needs to stop knifing her

[Grahckheuhl]

@Cyberleader12

But Meiling keeps mocking Sakuya for using pa--

*Knife'd*

[Cyberleader12]

@Grahckheuhl Yeah but she is way too awesome for that >.<

[daestathsh]

(Before ill say this, ill note im talking about the combat in the fighting version of touhou)

you know youre awesome when everyone shoots lasers but you, and you still kick everyones arse.

(I Know, she can still throw a hadouken, but other than that, most of her attacks have short range)

[kowen12]

The intro to Meiling's theme would be what her rainbow color would be like if it could take musical form. Lovely~

[dadragonlover]

i never really noticed how amazin her theme is.... and yet she's my favorite of all Touhous. wow; i think i'm gonna took at all remixes now...

[infernolflames]

<3 Meiling

[Purianite]

This is so good... I envy ZUN's skills... ;~;

[shunkwugga]

Sounds like a remix of Bad Apple!!, but hey. Still a good song.

[Nesaru]

@shunkwugga

Not really...
