The logic of this stage is honestly not too bad. For almost all of it, it's all streaming. The catch is that enemies'll come at you from all over the field, and the stage itself lasts quite some time as well. That in mind, be aware that stuff'll constantly be aimed at you, and make your movements accordingly, misdirecting attacks and zipping away from bullet clusters at the right time so you don't end up getting trapped
Chimata's a bit of an odd boss with all kinds of attacks. Non-spell wise she's very simple and self explanatory, since they're just direct waves fired out. They may curve and overlap a tad, but still very direct. Spell Card wise it's the complete opposite and is a little more tricky, but only since she requires you to move around instead. To that end though, she's one of those bosses that ends up becoming much easier once you realize what you're supposed to do

I like how tsukasa is petting the shanghai doll during the prefight dialogue.
Ok, that’s cute. I didn’t notice that!
Thats really cute
She is not ..?
@@cioccolatamania3622 her hand is touching the doll
HOLY COW I DIDN'T NOTICE
So Chimata was a god that was basically on her deathbed due to lack of faith, and if it wasn't for Megumu approaching her with her card idea, she probably would've disappeared completely. Many fans have interpreted Chimada's ordeal as representing ZUN's views on the COVID-19 pandemic bringing physical marketplace activities to a screeching halt. In some way, you could also say her slowing regaining her strength through the cards also represents all the lockdowns being lifted and physical trading slowing returning.
Specifically doujin conventions, from what I hear. The guy turned his lamentations about the lack of Comiket and Reiteisai into a plot device for a game, you have to give the man credit for using what he had to his advantage
I imagine Zun works on games a year in advance if not more, but it is perfect timing to release a boss all about markets and personal exchange during a time where Amazon is taking over and feels more justified isolating people away from physical stores or even open local markets
You know, I've seen Chimata's design a couple of times, but I've only just now noticed that her cape is a JPEG of a cloudy blue sky. Not quite as impressive as Utsuho's galaxy cape, but I'm happy to see the tradition of dropping IRL images into character designs is still going strong.
... I honestly didn’t notice that.
..Her hair is also partially that cloud jpg.
About Chimata's outfit.
I don't whether it is implied or explicitely stated, but the idea is that she is a god of unowned, aka things that were thrown away, so her dress is made of discarded pieces of cloth stitched together.
Don't let that distract you about her pose though, no idea about that.
Apparently (from the wiki atleast) her pose is supposed to resemble a dollar sign with two of her fingers pointing up and down on opposite ends. (and making an S shape)
@@Bopityjoel Oh, I didn't know about that.
I should probably read the wiki more often.
@@Bopityjoel $$$$
According to a Vietnamese Touhou page and some statue I found before, her pose is one of the poses of Buddha, when he was born, he walk 7 steps, point one hand to the sky and one to the earth, and speak some line that I am not skilled enough to translate.
Can't make sure though.
@@himejoon8005 Eyy I did find picture of Buddha doing that and questions of which finger buddha used to point the sky
Even if Chimata Is Not that hard now, The first Time battling against her sure was an experience, The first spellcard that makes you think Is a survival but actually Is half-survival, The final Spell Is Very cool cause The more You move The More bullets you Will have you deal with
Maybe Not hard but sure Fun
I don't know why, but I really love Chimata's design. She may become my new favorite Touhou girl for her design alone, to be honest.
I like to think that the reason she has a cape is because ZUN wanted to spare fan artists the headache of trying to figure out what the back of her dress looks like.
@@crystaljon That, and there lots of colors on her
Not that i hate it tho, her design is really pretty.
Meh, I didn't like her design at first, but it grew on me.
It was a similar situation with Keiki, at first I thought she just looked like discount Tenshi, now Keiki's my favorite Touhou girl by design.
@@dungeonmaster3464
Yeah those designs also grew on me
When I looked at Keiki, I thought it had too much detail, and it made it a lot cluttered for me (but I didn't outright hated it)
For Chimata, I just thought "ZUN, why?" because it had so much colours. Now I think her design is pretty alright and is good for what it tries to convey, though those boots man... Why, ZUN?
That "perfect clear" is like when I record a par on a golf hole, conveniently ignoring the mulligan I took when my first tee shot went careening off into the woods.
"I'd like to pay you 200 gold to ignore the golf ball I sent careening into your car's windshield."
5:12 My thoughts on the whole NFT debacle, and how someone could just take any images/steal anyone's digital artworks off the internet and sell the virtual rights to something that can be shared indefinitely anyway.
No one ever commented on how Chimata's non-spells are basically Koishi's Rorschach in Danmaku spellcard, which tbh are much harder than her earlier spellcards. I do like how the colours of the danmaku in the non-spells corresponds to the colour spectrum, starting with colours with shorter wavelengths earlier and those with longer wavelengths later, ROYGBIV style. Even An Offering to the Ownerless follows this ordering, starting with purple and ending with red before cycling.
First non = purple and blue; second non = purple, blue and cyan; third non = cyan and green; final non = yellow and red.
Anyway, congrats on your first NMNB on a main game Omega!
So I guess I would say it might be cheating death because of Eiki's card that helped you get a "perfect run" in that way huh.
In this episode: Rob bribes Eiki in order to get his first official NNMNBNA.
When I first saw Chimata I thought that ZUN being a Jojo fanboy the design came from Sticky Fingers. Final Fantasy style would have belts made of belts instead
Kingdom Hearts?
When i saw her silhouette in the game cover, the first thing that came into my mind is someone related to Sumireko. Its interesting that were actually getting introduced to possibly lore heavy characters, and the last 4 games introduced at least one god or a powerful character.
Chimata's patterns have interesting concepts, like the semi-survival spell. All of her nonspells and her penultimate are static, so you can do the same thing everytime. This is probably by far the easiest stage 6 boss once you practice her fight a lot.
Good luck on the extra stage (**sees dying at first spell** oh no). The stage portion isn't too hard from my experience once you route it. The boss is pretty fun, but as a Marisa main myself, I do have to face that one "you know what" pattern.
The one and only 'Dragon Eater'
ah yes, finally beating ceo of RG(ay)B
I think it's funny her design is (necessarily) disastrous and messy yet still just feels like your everyday touhou character, damn zun's charm.
I am biased with rainbows and vibrant colors so she, along with IN yuyuko and Keiki are my favorite designs
Damn no one really does own anything "Bullet market" is just "Overflowing Blemishes" / "Refinement of Earthen Impurity" but with two circles and not just one
Yup I noticed.
All of Chimata's spells remind me of attacks we have seen in the past:
First Spell - Ran's Austerity Sign "Eighty Million Holy Boards" (StB)
Second Spell - Okina's Secret Ceremony "Matarah Dukkha" (HSiFS)
Third Spell - Junko's "Overflowing Blemishes" (LoLK)
Fourth Spell - Meiling's Colorful Flower "Rainbow Taijiquan" (StB)
Fifth Spell - Keiki's "Oni-Shaped Sculpting Art" (WBaWC)
Final Spell - PoFV's focused/scope Mechanic
Have spell cards been bustling around the market? Or is Chimata another Touhou who violates copyright laws? We may never know.
Nah, she totally bought those bootlegs of some shady dealer.
Black Market is still a market.
Well, she can take away ownership, so she could be just pratically stealing spellcards from random people lol someone call Shiki Eiki
11:02 *YES!!! YOU DID IT!!! BY BRIBING THE JUDGE!!!*
Simplest way of cheat death/attaining immortality in Gensokyo: keep bribing the judge. 200 gold each day keeps T H E L A W (and death by le bullets) away.
It's interesting to hear that rainbow bit of trivia, because I remember hearing from Chuggaaconroy's Okami LP that rainbows were a bad omen in Japanese mythology.
I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong, though.
Maybe different regions of Japan had different folk lore for rainbows? or maybe the interpretation just changed with time? I remember hearing that rainbows were considered a symbol of snakes and approaching danger in Japan.
thank you so much, i just got the 1cc thanks to your video!
Was that a perfect chimata or did I miss something?
Yooooou didn’t. In fact, the entire game was perfect!
@@deansandstrom954 the run is a NB that's for sure. Depending on how you interpret "No Miss", this can either be or not be a NMNB (according to the game, its a NM so you could technically count it as a NMNB). This is not a perfect run since he used cards though (A perfect run is NMNBNC).
@@Skywalker2016GD i honestly don’t know, i still can’t get pats LETTY’S final spell so i don’t think i could even NB any game (ok, maybe i could NM MoF with Marisa B, but anyone couldJ
Well uh... this is something alright!
Just like in Stage 5, Tsukasa's nonspell can be misdirected.
I dunno about you, when I first saw Chimata I was like: *points* "Yumemi recolor"
As a character she's... ok.
Chimata's nonspells are much faster on higher difficulties. I was comparing them to Junko when I first faced them since my first run was on Hard lmao
Fun fact, the gap in the amulet wave on An Offering to the Ownerless is aimed at Chimata when she enters the screen. Also yes, this spell is completely trivialized by Okina's Back Door.
And so is Danmaku Hoarder's Obsession. Although if you don't have that card, on higher difficulties, doing the strat Omega did here is not recommended, instead run a circle around Chimata. Yes, it takes longer, but it's a simple pattern nonetheless, and as long as you don't lose resources, that's what matters, right?
Bullet Market becomes interesting on Lunatic. Chimata will actually move left and right on the screen instead of staying still. This also means she'll stay where she was when the spell ended for the fourth nonspell.
Rainbow Ring of People is literally free after one attempt.
Bullet Dominion becomes mainly just faster on higher difficulties. Giving me Geometric Creature vibes ngl.
Meanwhile Asylum of Danmaku is... kind of an uncomfortable pattern to dodge for me. On the fourth phase, there's also a line coming from the bottom on Hard/Lunatic. Also if you take out phase 1 with just the right timing, Chimata may end up firing two waves of rings at the same time which is very ungood.
Overall, Chimata is now widely considered the easiest final boss in the series. And I can see why. Some people even say she feels like an Extra boss.
Anyway YOU GOT A NORMAL NMNB BECAUSE OF THE EIKI CARD?! Goddamnit. ("Perfect Clear" isn't an NMNB achievement, by the way, it's just for getting No Miss.)
So next time... well uhh... hope you don't encounter one too many bugs, if you catch my drift. (Extra is so mean to Marisa in this game btw...)
Wait, perfect clear here doesn't count as NMNB? So does that mean if I never lose a life in Crimson Blue in Belvedere because of the auto-hyper mechanic on hit, it doesn't count as an NMNB as well?
@@korohacker According to the wiki, there's only three Perfect Clear achievements: one that was obtained here, one for specifically Lunatic, and one for Extra. None of them care about bombing, only no life loss. There is no achievement for "never use a bomb, never lose a life"
Yeah, extra stage discourages using Marisa. The only way i was able to clear the stage as her was because i got the eiki card at the shop. The boss is decently hard, which is fine, but there's a particular spell that actually discourages you to use Marisa. I'd say its still fun even its very tough (and i swear my pc sucks that the game likes to drop frames on screen clears, which added to the frustration).
Also speaking of bugs, there's a chance that the replay will randomly desync on her 6th spell. Good thing it isnt permanent and it didnt happen in the TRS stream a few weeks ago. And how would i forget the last part of the stage, which is just funny.
@@NimonoSolenze The way I see it, Omega didn't lose a life, and didn't use a bomb, so it's a no-miss, no bomb run to me. Makes me kinda glad that ZUN didn't place explicit NMNB and NMNBNC (according to the Touhou community's definition) achievements, and considers a run with no lives lost and no bombs used a perfect run, regardless of cards usage
Rainbow Capitalism is forever.
Honestly her design has grown on me. It looks so messy but it stands out and she has the nicest smile. Also does anyone else notice Reimu is fighting a lot of gods recently?
I know Japan's supposed to have like, 8 million of them, but that doesn't mean we have to fight them all.
Yes. 15.5, 16, 17, 18. All gods, all in row. Though Joon and Shion enacted my favorite plan in the series, I hope we should get some plans similar to IN in the future, since a lot of the recent ones kinda had the energy of "god used their ability and now funny stuff is happening, slap her"...idk something about it just a little too straightforward compared to other antagonists, y'know? Even though it's usually executed in a way that you wouldn't see coming like WBaWC for example.
@@Jann75 tbf that's kinda the same with earlier entries like MoF right (I mean basically they moved a giant ass mountain into gensokyo and everyone didn't like that)
I’m actually impressed that you NMNB this game! I wonder if you can keep that up for the extra...
Are you doing the extra stage soon?
By the way, will you play Ephemeral Unnatural Balance?
chimatas theme is the best theme of touhou 18
change my mind (i wanna listen to more touhou music but i can't find any myself)
Touhou canon= gods that wants some attention, some girl with a mallet, aliens trying to invade... a nuclear bird
Touhou fan games= deaths, gods trying to destroy everything, epic fights between angel and demons, gensokyo extermination. More blood...
Looks like fans wants touhou to be more edgy
This is completely normal. Fandom always has a tendency to go edgier in general, with a small subset reserved for fluff.
I've seen a lot of writers going that way when writing Touhou fanfictions
i mean
even older touhou fanons are quite..well, almost completely out of character, being edgy isn't entirely new but personally, it's kinda eh
2:49 ive read someone comment that her dress could actually be unused cloths stitched together Due to her being the Goddess of the Unowned
Good luck with the extra stage
Did you hear the news that there's gonna be a Touhou game developed by CAVE itself? What do you think about it?
Where do you find the "extra story" bit that you always helpfully edit in during the credits? I tried to look for them but I couldn't find them myself (apart from places like here or the wiki)
Obra maestra
Funny that Eiki card can still give you a perfect clear, maybe Eirin's card does as well... Sadly death cancel doesn't work for the EX boss card though lol
I heard that the reason Chimata's dress is covered in zippers is because they're supposed to be bridges representing trade routes. I forgot exactly where I heard that, though, so take it with a grain of salt.
is there any chance that you could orginise all your playthroughs into playlists? I'm a relatively new fan and it's pretty anoying to find the series I want to watch
You should be able to see that on my channel. I've made playlists of every game I've played
@@MegamanOmega184 do you have 2 channels or something? I just checked the channel that posted this video and it says "This channel has no playlists" when I went to check...
@@Eclipsed_Embers That's... bizarre. But I think it's fixed. Try looking now. It looks like TH-cam did something and yeah, it wasn't showing any of my playlists. I played with some settings and it looks like they're visible now though.
@@MegamanOmega184 ah, thankyou. I needed to reload a couple of times but the playlists finally appeared
@@Eclipsed_Embers If it ever does it again, just refresh
Chimata is most likely the first character in Touhou to have all spellcard titles that don't have words outside the " "
I think Junko is first actually
Damn , first perfect clear thanks to eiki card
well I just 1cc'd this game with sanae, and can say it was pretty fun.
Edit: I also beat sanae blank card and sakuya. I stayed up all night doing this. WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES CHIMATA'S BULLETS ARE RIGHT THERE!
Ohhhh, if you're going to stick with Marisa, then that means you'll have to fight Momoyo with Marisa...
This is going to be interesting. Because I've heard that Momoyo is nearly impossible to beat with Marisa.
I /think/ Chimata's clothes being stitched together pieces of random fabrics might be a reference to asian market-goers, though I'm not too sure if this is a thing in Japan too. You see, in the more rural parts of asia, or in asian countries with a lot of old people, there's still a lot of older people who make their own clothes and recycle old fabrics, as they aren't too fond of wasting cloth that can still be put to use. The result is clothes made up of an amalgam of other clothes (though usually with some uniformity unlike Chimata). You see this a lot in China, and in the west, most of the old asians are hanging around your various chinatowns, and in those asian markets is where you'll see a lot of these kinds of clothing.
I'm really trying to make a reason for Chimata's fashion style but this is quite a reach ;;;;;
Lunarians during pride month:
Seems like we found out why Junko abhorred Lunarians. They were all goddamned capitalistic pigs and corporation employees all along!
In that case, I sympathize with her.
You may or may not have noticed this, but Chimata is making a $ symbol with her arms
Also we missed fighting the rainbow boss in Pride Month by a week, so sad
With Chimata, now we have 3 final bosses in a roll who is a god (4 if you count Junko).
Junko isn't a god.
Next up, we've got Minecraft Centipede (and the most amount of characters I've ever seen in a Touhou game in one conversation)
Note: For all you Marisa players, yes that includes you Megamanomega,
GOOD
FREAKING
LUCK
At long last, we fight the god of capitalism!!
Chimata's probably one of the easiest final bosses in the series in my opinion. A HUGE breath of fresh air after Stage 5 and the nightmare that is Stage 4. She's not really my favorite, since I'm not really connecting with her design that much and her spells are a bit plain overall since they're more gimmicky, but she's still pretty fun. "Asylum of Danmaku" in particular might be one of my favorite final boss spells, though! I feel the same way about her theme. Definitely bombastic and fits the fight, though not too memorable. Then again, it's really hard to match up when the previous game's final boss was Keiki, who was fantastic.
... still doesn't mean I've 1cc'd this yet though lmao. Still gotta get to that and finally stop Stage 4 from ruining all of my runs!!
I dont know how chimata’s theme isnt memorable to you, the part that always lines up with rainbow ring of people gives me goosebumps every time lol
Are you okay? You haven't posted anything for over a week, now.
Duude will you play TH18's EX soon? I am in need of your guidance and dank commentaries lmao
It's going up on Monday. I had to take a week off to finish judging the Bullet Hell Artistry 3 entries.
@@MegamanOmega184 cool!
書き文字までしっかり訳されてるとは思わなんだ
Nice. Now do the centipede run
The cape is epic but idk about the rest of the design
Yeah it’s cool I guess
8:32
Got a Perfect achievement on Lunatic too, just with Eirin card instead
Also, that Spell 2 strategy is very risky, you're better off moving around the screen to spread out the bullets
Also, also, Survival spell, just stick close to the green wave, as that would make it so you only have to go through one wave each time it changes direction
Also, also, also, for the final spell, that strat of don't move much is extremely risky for Phase 2 onward
Activating the blue waves from the side as soon as you can is better as that would make it so the knives don't surround you
Hm, I wonder what your card setup would be for the Extra stage?
Yes, finally. An opponent worthy for the (9)…
Minecraft.
Congrats on that No Miss No Bomb! Woooooo! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ✧ﾟ･: *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)
(Oof, no Perfect EX, tho oh well lol)
I love Chimata, shout out to gay fail women 😍
The zippers are meant to represent different places with the things connecting them being transactions, or market roads, or something like that. I'll be honest and say I really don't like her design (the only other design i didn't like instantly was Hecatia), although fanart that ditches her zippers and dims her colors usually makes her look way better. Honestly with the recent fangame rainbow final boss trend, she kind of looks like she walked out of a meme fangame mocking that trend. Also she kind of looks like Yatsuhashi (cause of the hair and hair band).
Danmaku wise, not gonna lie I was extremely underwhelmed when I first fought her (especially since the rest of the game was really good IMO). Most of her fight has grown on me now (except first and fourth spells), definitely helped by the really good music. But honestly IMO she is a puzzle boss that should be the Extra Boss instead of being the final boss.
I really like the themeing on her 3rd spell though, the pattern itself is pretty basic but you are essentially trading bullets that spawn around you for bullets that spawn around Chimata.
Fumofumo. Why couldn’t have Zun put Cirno in this game too.
