I had some difficulty with the entirety of this chapter. In an original version of the script, it was heavier in the lecture. The goal of this chapter was originally to connect Touhou's ideas about games to its ideas about religion, or, really, state plainly what Touhou is about. The reality of that is that as lecture of course it's going to be extremely lofty, and not actually be a plain statement. So it needed to be refocused into what it is now. And really I can't think of any words more succinct than "Danmaku is the pursuit of life over death."
Anyway, I'm doing the Q&A bit again for Ontology of Character. Feel free to submit your questions here in the video comments, or on Ao3 (or FFN for the purists). Answers will be put in the end notes of the final chapter.

無読める章について話すことは難しいね？しかしたぶん、日本観客の多少は英語で読める。分からない。(笑)
「生命ゲ」はなに？東方のゲームと宗教の観念に関連付けてる。つまり、ゲームと宗教は密接につないでる。ゲームはプレイヤーに価値（倫理的と実用的）を教え込む。宗教は同じ。実に、宗教もされる何かね。この意味に宗教はゲームの種類。弾幕は幻想郷の宗教的なゲームじゃないか、活発になられた幻想郷の価値？弾幕する時に、幻想郷に生命のような何かを生きる。と思う、とにかく。本質にこの曲は弾幕について。
