  • Touhou is a series that is no stranger to Shipping, but with so many years under it's belt, the sheer amount of possible pairs has become staggering. Today I'm looking at a bunch of pairs, namely the more well known ones, and finding what initially sparked interest in those pairs, and some of my own opinions on them. Buckle up, because even restricting to mainly popular stuff proved to be no small amount!

    40:50 Tenshion expert here, The main interesting thing about Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 45 that makes their relationship really interesting is the fact that, after everyone who attended the banquet hosted by Shion fell ill due to her misfortune, Shion got scared Tenshi might be angry at her but no, she even reassures her at the end of the chapter. You can see that in fanworks with Shion often depicted with abandonment issues

    The touhou games are often bare-bones when it comes to interactions, besides the main characters who are very slightly more fleshed out.
    Because of this, characters interacting is noticed alot more.
    Dynasty Reader was and still is a big gateway to this world for me.
    I'm very happy Koishi and Kokoro are mentioned, they both can't express emotions, both for very different reasons. They also meet from Koishi messing around and starting the events of Hopeless Masquerade. But the pair is overshadowed by Koishi x Flandre.

    In th09 Cirno Ending, Cirno is feeling down and thinks about death and stuff because she got eaten by the giant toad, so Aya comes along and tells her to cheer up (and then gets excited as she's about to do something stupid).
    That's more than enough material for a big sis dynamic.

  • @GiornoGiovannaGangstar
    @GiornoGiovannaGangstar Před 4 měsíci +44

    general RInnosuke fan here! I love his interactions with Marisa AND Reimu a lot, being an older brother type and all that since he makes the girls' clothes and weapons, and no matter what bullshit they put him through he never really ends up kicking them out of his shop. I also love him doing some mentoring towards the two along the line of some interpretations of Yukari (one of my fave Rinno dojins " Imaginative Power of Meiji XX" displays this three way relationship very well) though generally, I find his antics with many of the chars to be top notch.
    Two Dojins which I enjoy a lot that really exemplify his strengths as a character IMO are "Serious Scare: Sealing-Rin" where he's the third wheel to Renko and Maribel and "Remilia's Longing Diary" which is Remilia x Reimu but Rinnosuke acting as a mediator as well as talking about the fact him and Remilia will outlive Reimu. He works best as a "straight man" to all the crazy in Gensokyo for me, someone who you can just chill with and talk about life n stuff I guess.
    No mention of Myouren X Rinnosuke tho unsubbed and reported

    • @darkhorse744
      @darkhorse744 Před 4 měsíci +5

      Fellow Rinnosuke lover here.
      I found a great doujin that's more about Marisa, but also has some great Rinnosuke stuff in it.
      It was about fake witches, I'll try to find it, I remember it was on Mangadex though.
      Personally I prefer Byakuren x Rinnosuke, they've canonically met (Rinnosuke brought Laika to her) and they talked for a bit.
      Wish more happened, what with him being the oldest known half-Youkai and all.
      Edit: The doujin is called "The Magician who loved a fake".

    The AyaCir thing is a classic start of a yuri story. One girl is sad, but then other girl shows up, sad girl vent and other girl give optimistic philosophical response, sad girl touched by other girl's words and was grateful to her. Even started to develop feelings for her.
    Cirno had an existential crisis after Eiki's lecture. She was brooding at a lake, Aya shows up, get her spirits back up and bam. Material.

  • @AngryAragami
    @AngryAragami Před 4 měsíci +85

    In all seriousness, ReiMari is probably my favorite ship because it honestly doesn't change much of their dynamic. They already spend most of their time together, alternate between support and rivalry with no issues, and understand each other to the point where they don't really need to reaffirm their bond with words. What, if anything, they do when the shrine shutters are closed and the sake is out is officially None Of Our Business.

    25:44 Ah, I remember when I opened Medicine's page on the wiki that exact day, just to remember that Alice is in an arguably worse situation in canon appearances.
    I saw that part of the Stream, roughly around 4 hours if I remember correctly, unfortunately it falls in the category of "ZUN said so" which translates to "ZUN will forget about it once he gets drunk again"
    Daily reminder that ZUN said in PoFV's Medicine ending that she would get along with people more and then proceeded to do nothing about it, not even imply, which is just weird. The Eientei crew (specially Eirin) seemed like the perfect fit yet their interactions after PoFV are limited to fanworks and are uncommon.

    i love how you started getting more unhinged as this went on. It was an absolute trip to go on with it all.
    Shipping has been a huge part of the fandom for me, going mental over shipping with friends was months and months of fun, maybe even years at this rate. Thinking about which nutjob would like this crackhead is just endless fun, and such a good thing to discuss.
    I'd like to throw my own crack ship into the picture, which would be Elly and Yumeko. Two underlings of two powerful women, with differing opinions of their own masters. At first they were rivals, due to Yuuka being an absolute maniac over wrecking Makai. Yumeko and Elly soon found a likeness in each other, and together they made up for the others weaknesses.
    To go with that, Kurumi and Sara is cool too.
    Awesome work!! I'd love to hear you rant more about these wacky women.

    About Daiyousei and Cirno, I remeber a interpretation of Daiyousei in a old RPG maker game (just a little game about Cirno, Daiyousei, Rumia, Wriggle and Mystia trying to become stronger), where Daiyousei role was... interesting to say the least, de acted more like a girl who was always anoyed by cirno and her friends. Daiyousei also had this thing where almost everyone and everything forgets about her (basically everytime Daiyousei is meantion outside of her friend group, they just call her by "that girl")

I know they never interact, but I feel like if there’s one Gensokyan that Hecatia would respect, it’s Raiko, as Hecatia is pretty big on personal freedom, and Raiko literally bargained her existence to be able to keep hers. I know there’s like 20 artworks of them, but I still really love to see it.
    Also Unzan x Rinnosuke. That one is hilarious and awesome and it makes me happy whenever I see it

    A lot of Touhou is based on the relationships between the characters, and this is clearly a rather exhaustive overview of *all* of them, from Reimu x Green Reimu to Ran x Yuuma which I somehow never heard of before. It’s definitely more than a funny little Valentine’s Day treat, this video actually covers a lot of the important info someone getting into Touhou will learn. These videos never cease to impress!
    Also that Pastebin is massive!

      ranyuuma has only really appeared after th19, because of them once knowing eachother. apparently ran used to live in the animal realm

    And as usual PC-98 shipping got limited to the quartet and those gems weren't covered
    - ReiMei (Reimu x Meira the canon "You are a girl, I see no problems here")
    - ShinMa (Shinki x Mima, It's MariAli for grown-ups)
    - ShinByaku and ShinSari (Sariel x Shinki and Shinki x Byakuren, The three Makai Girls)
    - YukiMai (Yuki x Mai)
    - YumeChiyu, YumeSumi, YumeRenko, (Probability Space Hypervessel x Hifuu)
    - KonnSari (The first final bosses together)
    Looking forward for the 2nd chapter

    Was surprised you didn't mention any of the Nue pairings......... Kogasa/Nue and Murasa/Nue were kinda big back when UFO first came out. Kogasa/Murasa to a lesser extent, too. Maybe they've completely fallen off though.........

    Does anyone know where the footage around 42:15 comes from?
    I'm actually doing an art piece featuring Yuugi right now and thought she wasn't in any of the fighting games, but I love alt costumes and palette swaps so often include them in my drawings.
    Edit: from what little I can tell, this could be an instance of her from MUGEN? She does have alt palletes there so that's fun.

    • Kanako & Suwako
    • Mamizou & Nue
    • Hecatia & Junko
    • Okina & Yukari
    • Yachie & Saki (or Keiki)

    2007 isn’t the earliest year for Touhou… some of these shippings surely date back much further. I bet there are even doujinshis of touhou ships in 2003 or so. But again, it’s much harder to find them

    Honestly, shipping - alongside the music and fangames - is my main reason for having been a Touhou fan for more than 12 years. And what can I say... YukaYuyu is my Genskyo.
    Especially because with the right amount of brain acrobatics and the right mindset, you can ship everyone with everyone and it doesn't really come across as pure crack, all the while still forming adorable couples that are just wholesome. Shipping Shinki and Sariel? Weird but Sariel lives in hell, is an angel of Death and powerful, so maybe she's one of Shinki's earliest creations. Shinki x Mima? Easy, mega powerful bosses that just happen to be maternal figures of one of the most popular ship. Yuyuko x Eiki? Eiki is Yuyuko's boss, giving us a classic lazy employee vs strict boss dynamic. Youmu x Ran? Servants of my personal OTP who probably see each other often. Kanako x Chimata? Two goddesses who can bond over their love for money and mercantilism etc. etc.
    Shipping is an essential part of Touhou to me and as much a never-ending rabbit-hole as the music and fanworks.

    You missed Kaguya/Eirin, that's a pretty big one (Help Me Eirin, etc.), and one of the ships more grounded in canon with the main plot of IN. It also nicely parallels Mokou/Keine.

  • @riotef2493
    @riotef2493 Před 18 dny

    My favorite crackship is Reimu/Flandre. The ship comes from Marissa's EoSD extra stage where she talks about marriage in reference to the nursery rhyme Flandre's ""and then there were none" spellcard is named after. Flandre asks who she would marry and Marissa offers to introduce her to a "girl at a shrine""

    I always find it kind of funny that Aya x Cirno is a decently popular ship for both when, ignoring fanon reasons (Cirno wouldn't care about the newspaper enough to be bothered by Aya's antics, Aya is a crow yokai and would be attracted to Cirno's shiny wings, etc.), their one significant interaction in canon in PoFV is "Aya talks Cirno out of an existential crisis."

    The RenMari slander! What I also think contributes to their shipping is that the original hifuu tracks feel more melancholic than most Touhou songs. I feel like there is always at least one track that makes me think something devastating is gonna happen to them in the future. Also, have you seen Marisa's reaction to Reimu dying in Wild and Horned Hermit? That sealed the deal for me that ReiMari is the best Marisa ship.

  • @Skullgod12
    @Skullgod12 Před 4 měsíci +4

    Here are the ships in this video that I like. Reimari, Reimu x Yukari, Mariali, MeiSaku, RemiSaku, Yuyukari, Reisen x Youmu (I like bnuuy happy she is cute), Keine and Mokou, Mokou x Kaguya (A little more then the other Mokou ship), Aya x Momiji cuz the dog girl and crow girl are cute, Yuuka and Tenshi, Orin and Okuu (Utsuho my favorite btw), Koishi and Kokoro, Koishi and Flandre, Satori and Remilia, Seija x Nue cuz fitting asthetics, Wakasagihime and Kagerou, Sekibanki x Kogasa, Junko and Hectia, Junko and Reisen, and of course Renko x Maribel the perfect couple. Here is my list of the ones I like.

    I have a feeling that a lot of shipping is based on just liking the pretty art tbh
