A video of me fighting against the saint mankind condemned, Byakuren Hijiri
Byakuren (the name tingles my mouth), is the Final boss of the game Undefined Fantastic Object, the 12th installment of the Touhou Project. The Touhou Project is a series of danmaku shoot'em ups created by ZUN where undefined fantastical girls fly through the sky writing the history of paradise with colorful and beautiful bullets.
Once upon a time, there was this monk, a beautiful and gentle girl with a heart and a conviction as pure as snow. She only wished for one thing: for human and demons to coexist peacefully. A good hearted dream, but ultimately dream. Since the days of old, human and youkai had been at odds with each other. Nothing less was expected from a predator and prey relationship. Youkai ate humans, human hunted youkai preemptively. Survival of the fittest, one of the most fundamental notions of reality.
Nevertheless, the human girl tried her best to reconcile humans and youkai. She embraced everybody regardless of species. Not all youkai ate human, so many youkai looked up to her as a beacon of hope in breaching this gap. But humans, on the other hand, started to slowly fear her. This girl wasn't a normal monk after all. This human was a youkai monk, who forsake her humanity out of fear of death. With the passage of time, human grew uneasy, until they finally sealed her in the demon realm, to be forgotten by time.
A thousand years later, the relationship between youkai and the majority of human is practically nonexistent. As mankind displaced their faith to science, most youkai, being dismissed as mere fantasy, sealed themselves inside Gensokyo, a magical land protected from the outside world by the Hakurei Barrier. Despite this, some human do live inside Gensokyo, in the Human Village. Inside the village, they are relatively safe from harmful youkai. But they've been warned. Outside the haven of the village, they are fair game. While some youkai had befriended humans, the confrontation between these two species persist and is up to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden to maintain the balance and keep youkai from overpowering humans. A thousand years has passed and the remaining followers of that monk, freed from their own imprisonment, now seek to return the favor to the monk as they approach the demon realm, Makai. They seek to free Byakuren Hijiri from her imprisonment.
Byakuren is in my opinion one of the most beautiful character in the series, platonically speaking. Platonic because most of her beauty lies on her personality and past, which is only rivaled by Yuyuko's in beauty. There I go again, using beauty without saying what it is. I can say at least that for me, beauty not only lies on image (that is pretty). It also lies on personality, origins, ideals, etc. That image in the beginning is simply gorgeous (albeit the proportions might be a little weird in some parts). When I saw it, I knew I needed to use that image and that I needed to somehow recreate the scroll effect for the text. Kudos to the artist and kudos to myself, since I'm particularly proud of the text's effect. Also:
-I believe Byakuren's hair color is actually a purple-brown radial gradient (makes her more interesting)
-Got to love that outfit!!!
"The world of dharma is filled with light." I cannot help but feel a chill when I hear that. If you had read "Love and Peace" by Stripe Pattern, you should know why (WARNING: rated R for Violent). It is a doujin about Byakuren's ideals... taken to their logical extreme. I want to make it count: Byakuren's ideals are equality between humans and youkai. Is amazing how such a thing can be distorted to its logical extreme... wow.
Finally, as a closing statement. This finale is extremely intense. Definitely not for the weak hearted. I literally finished this by the skin of my teeth. While overall the whole run could had gone a whole lot better, I'm VERY proud of this. If only... just watch it.
Well... I might as well say this. I'm effectively taking two Physics classes and Calculus 3, plus C++ and Japanese (I just wish that last one could count credit-wise). This semester will be hell, so my video input is pretty much nonexistent and I don't know when I'll be able to upload the Extra stage of this run or do a stream on the Stream Channel. Such is the life of a student. Hope you understand mina-san. Dōmo sumimasen (hopefully that makes sense and I didn't insulted anyone by using dōmo. This is hard =/)

"Return under the flowers, ghost of spring!"
"Sleep under the flowers, red-white butterfly!"
-Reimu Hakurei and Yuyuko Saigyouji, respectively, simultaneously.
A video of me fighting the beautiful butterfly of death, Yuyuko Saigyouji.
Yuyuko (such a gentle name!) is the Final boss of the game Perfect Cherry Blossom, the 7th installment of the Touhou Project. The Touhou Project is a series of danmaku games where dichromatic maidens fight against being of legends for the ultimate fate of Paradise, in battles of unrivaled beauty and unquestioned complexity. The creator of this magnificent testament to mankind imagination is a humble man known only as ZUN.
Yo, sorry I'm late. You see, I study computer science and everything after that is self-explainable. I have lot to say, but not enough space. so let's sum up.
The phrases I normally put above each description are there out of tradition more than anything. I've been having trouble finding what to put, mainly because I erased my mental doujin folder to make space for SCIENCE! But every now and then, jewels like this appeared. I think this is the first instance in the Touhou series Reimu is referred as a dichromatic (red-white) butterfly. If you know me, you know Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly-Ancients is my favorite of Reimu's theme, first heard in Seihou (three years before PCB, but not part of the Touhou series). Nevertheless, I figuratively squealed like a little girl when I took notice (I tend to filter dialogue). The fact both characters refer to each other at the same time like this just makes it...wait for it... legendary. Yuyuko does the same against Marisa and Sakuya, but in my opinion Reimu just takes the cake.
Yuyuko is without doubt the most beautiful character in the series. Being the ghost of a girl so terrified with her ability that she was driven suicide, yet gleefully "living" her death, Yuyuko is at the same time one of the most tragic and happy characters in the series. She's one of the ultimate Pollyana, if there ever was a character like that. It's even hinted that her father was a famous poet, who ironically wrote a poem about wishing to die below a cherry tree and died at the shadows of the very demon cherry tree her body seals.
I once mentioned (I think) that I like to think that a great part of Yuyuko's personality is a mask. Yuyuko, despite her apparent silliness, is one of the few characters verified to be able to keep up with Yukari train of thought and has shown more than once that her intellect is not limited to understanding Yukari. I believe a mad Yuyuko can be terrifying. If I thought Youmu was unsettling, Yuyuko is downright frightening. But, she's mostly happy even is in my mind she still holds a little grudge towards life.
Speaking of grudges and Yukari, "Two By This Side, Three By The Other Side" by Personal Color. A three part manga, this is hands down the best comic exploring the relationship between the cast of the Netherworld, particularly Yukari and Yuyuko. But more importantly, it has one of the most priceless reaction shot (and by extension BSOD) of Yukari. If only to see Yukari's face, I recommend it.
Another thing I recommend is seeing the... short animated film? Anyways, a video titled Memories of Phantasm. The original doesn't have voices and all dialog is given via subtitles. There are fan-made dubs if you want. On a tangential note, the trailer for the second chapter, featuring the SA cast, is also out and is awesome. The highlights are Yuugi vs Reimu, anything with Utsuho and Rin (particularly Reimu vs Utsuho and Marisa vs Rin), Parsee short appearance, and Kanako. And of course, Last Remote.
Artwork wise, I choose the ending because it was the best I could find. And I chose the title because it was rather stunning and it had both ghost and human Yuyuko on it. Music wise, I ended with the metal arranges because although the competition was fierce, I preferred build-up over characterization.
Story and gameplay wise, Yuyuko's battle is plain beautiful. The sense of melancholy is tangible and it has up to now the most awesome ending of any final boss, rivaled only by Kaguya tearing your time spell to pieces long after she lost. As well as having one of the most awesome lines in the series:
"Remembering the melancholy of human existence... Even ghosts stray from the path of righteousness."

Ok... Only one word describes this shot. I bet you can guess it. Four letters, starts with E, and ends with C. All Capitals, too. No? Well then let me tell you. EPIC! Oh yeah, there's an exclamation mark also. This upload (like some of the previous) is the first time I saw this move. I was blown away, much like the Earth probably was after having Mima do that to it.
I'll make an actual description when I feel like it. ^^
