Ironic how the music named "Reincarnation" belongs to a character that will never come back 2023 Update: Hey she's in Lost Word actually (better than nothing I guess)
@@hairmonster Yes, and did you notice how Marisa's entire design and personality got completely reworked after the shift to Windows? Marisa is now more Mima than she is PC98!Marisa... Honestly, _all_ PC98 characters that came back were reworked: Reimu's classic shrine maiden uniform was discarded in favour of her current iconic one; Yuuka got a haircut and became a flower youkai rather than a dream youkai and she also mellowed out considerably; Alice grew up, became a puppeteer and her connection to Makai hasn't been mentioned once in the Windows canon... Honestly, I dunno if I'd _want_ Mima to come back if she didn't do so as Mima!Classic... I think I'd rather remember her for who she was, rather than have her back as someone who's not the Mima I remember...
There was a time where a single danmaku was enough to level houses, a barrage to tear up a landscape and spells that could very well flatten the ground and the sky in one. Those days have passed and those of such a high magnitude of prowess and extraordinary power lie dormant in the shadows. Gensokyo at one time had beings that could level mountains in the blink of an eye, a different culture where respect was favored more than love. Acquaintances abundunt with friends being a rare commodity in the harsher lifestyle that once existed. Such was life in Gensokyo when crazy things went on an entirely new level, even chaotic events we can never comprehend. These times ended when the Spellcard System thought up by the most recent Hakurei Shrinemaiden was brought into the current world we now see Gensokyo today. Many of those who were ultimately powerful could be dealt with by the weaker and insignificant creatures who were once dwarfed. So much has changed during these few decades and many mysteries never to be answered, beings disappearing without a trace and an entire race driven underground. But there will come another time when all of the past will rise from the ashes, sparks will burst into flames and flames will spread into a wildfire. A revolution that will cause a massive ripple within Gensokyo's very infrastructure. Many would find this threatening and no soon as change begins, war shall ignite and darkness will reign across the skies across a peaceful illusionary world. And when the ghosts of the past rise, there will be one that will be at the helm of it all. The one who will return as a force truly to be reckoned with, a former denizen of Makai's hellish realm with all but potential evil intent. And her name... Her name... is... *Madam Mima.*
Sadly, even without spellcard rules Mima won't be a big threat. Cus y'know, Yukari, Okina, Eirin (she's potentially one of the strongest in Touhou), etc.
Everyone wants Mima to come back, and I'm just sitting here, hoping for Yuuka to come back.. I mean, she was in Phantasmagoria of flower view as a playable character, and that was a windows game.
+A thalmor justiciar Yeah, honestly, I thought Yuuka was pretty awesome in PoFV. I think ZUN should more canonically distinguish her from Marisa, since most people know her for two Master Sparks, or a much large Master Spark, both of which Marisa has used, as Loving Heart "Double Spark" and Perverse Love "Easy-Harvest Master Spark". Perhaps she should be more distinguished in her ability to "grow" anything, be they plants, or, supposedly, even attacks. Therefore, I think Yuuka should be in a fighting game. Honestly, ZUN already pulled Fujiwara no Mokou out for 14.5, he could do the same for any previous characters. I sometimes wish ZUN would hold like a vote between 5 characters as to which one he should add.
@@jadeng.s.2549 not sure about the first two, but i agree with HSiFS - her windows title is flower master of FOUR SEASONS ffs, and Yuuka hopped up on seasonal energy sounds like an absolute nightmare. I'm honestly curious as to what she'd be up to. A random incident that also happens to power her up seems like the perfect time to go ahead and pick fights. Maybe she was picking fights elsewhere, and/or attempting stuff that would be stupidly suicidal for just about anyone else.
It's sad that out of all the PC98 characters that aren't Marisa and Reimu, Alice is the one to get the most screen time. I want a return of Genji, Mima, or Shingyoku.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge, there is a shooter video game series called the Touhou project that stars that pesky miko and the Great and Awesome Magician of Red Dreams, Kirisame Marisa and I am featured in the earlier titles of the series, but disappear after the fifth one and now everyone wants me back in the games, but this insolent fool, ZUN won't put me back in these games? What the hell?
I actually wish characters like Mima and Shinki had a chance in making it in a Windows game. Also, this theme kinda doesn't sound like it belongs in a danmaku shooter imo. More like an RPG, but good regardless.
Mima's already in the games, you guys. She turned into Sanae as a way of enacting revenge on Reimu, by stealing Reimu's position as a shrine maiden!! >: D idk
*Yukari*: I'll say it once again, my Gap Barrier is invincible! *_gaps out from nowhere_* *_proceed to prepare Quadruple Barrier_* *_tries punch the ball_* *_knocked away_* *Rinnosuke*:It's in! Goaaal!
Mima, we all wanted her return, but only so little the hope do we have. This feeling, together with this song, it is hurtful. Until when, can Mima reincarnated before our eyes as her song imply?
@unfunniestman Touhou is sustained by fanon, so this can slide.... kind of. ZUN at least saw her again, even if his response was essentially, "Oh yeah, she exists."
Mima's theme makes me rethink about everything, even if touhou has its jokes here and there. Her theme kinda reminds me that she is a very VERY important charecter in the 98 and windows series probably among those lines, But what surprises me the most is that her theme gives me the feeling of a saviour type or a theme only gods of Gensokyo should have I dont know why her theme makes me think that way, but i like it BTW is there gonna be another charecter that might have this type of feel to their theme? just asking
@@sanstheskeleton679 she does have a windows design though. well, a rudimentary one, anyway. she's got a star on her hat now and that's about the only change we know about. A chibi Mima did show up on the untouched score cover and that's the closest thing to mima showing back up we've gotten.
Legends say that the day Mima reappears in the Touhou franchise, the world will blip out of existence. Either that or Gensokyo will become real. Either those or I just ate too much cheese before night and met a really crazy old tramp pretending to be a philosopher.
Here I sit, six years after this was posted. And no, the Mima speculation has not stopped. Hey, guys commenting on this in a few years in anticipation of Touhou 20, what makes you think that she's any more likely to return this time around than in the last fifteen games?
a theory on mima: in life she was an actual witch who practiced black (“evil”) magic. since this took place in a period where people feared and hated magic mima was burned to death with no means of escape and haunted her execution location. eventually, people stopped believing in her so she faded to gensokyo. and because of her death she desired revenge against humans.
*[Spirit who leaves fate to the dream of eternity]* MIMA An evil spirit that resents the Hakurei Shrine, or used to. As she's been an evil spirit for quite a long time, her evilness has completely fallen off from her. Now she enjoys her days making fun of Reimu. She is like the deity (evil deity) of the Shrine by now, but her personality is more human-ish than human. As strange things are happening again, she is looking forward to more upcoming events.

(Even though she's my own character *sweatdrop*) Well, what about the song. The melody for the main chorus part is very simple, but feels really nice... Doesn't it? (Maybe because it's simple?)"
fun fact : the reason why mima never come back in windows touhou is because mima just got sealed in better hokora that is having very tough sealing method but nobody know why
Gotta love how everyone has high hopes for touhou 20 being the return of lunarian lore or Makai or Mima only going off 20 being a huge landmark for the series but in reality not only does ZUN not care about any of that but he's so fucking drunk that you might ask him in a couple of years time about Marisa and he'd actually go like "Who?"
@@lazydelibird Oh he won't abandon marisa alright, but if anything, he might actually abandon the enoko plot point or leave it untouched for years just like he's doing with misumaru now so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
"It's more of the fact that ZUN doesn't know what to do with his older characters and how to incorporate them into the storylines of the Windows game" --> this exactly I believe is the reason as to why so little of the PC-98 casts ever got into the Windows games... I mean look, even Alice and Yuuka, very little were even mentioned about their previous meetings when they were reintroduced in the Windows games. ZUN seriously needs 'that' spark of brilliance to reintroduce the old cast I believe
I finished the third game like a day ago and this was one of my favorite themes from that, mostly because the beginning blasted me with Cave Story vibes (even though this game came out first!!)
I was thinking about a possibility where the zun made the 18 game, with a story where the characters disobey the speel card rule, it would be a good one as there would be a chance for the classic PC-98 characters to reappear
Evil spirits don't or at least shouldn't exist in the netherworld anyway. Evil spirits reside in hell, the former hell, and the area around the geyser and opening to the former hell.
fucked up that the culprit in the latest chapter of cheating detective satori might actually be mima, like no joke, holy shit.... if it IS mima the fandom is gonna pop some fucking bottles at long last, if not, i can already taste the salt. yes i am commenting this on all of her themes what about it?
Ah, the origin of everything, i'm never gonna have enough of the PC-98 era, is so beautiful and i might won't have nostalgic feelings since i don't have much time since the first time i played a Touhou game but still, is amazing
the fans will keep Mima around even if she dosn't appear in Cannon works,after all that is the point of Gensokio, Nothing is truely gone till it is forgotten.
th03 is really weird to play compared to the other PC98 games. The vs aspect of it is both fun and interesting. The firing can be kinda wonky though. The prize for odd gameplay goes to th01 though, it's pretty fun but completely different from everything else.
Well she certainly wasnt in Ten Desires... Or Double Dealing Character... Or Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom... Or Hidden Star in Four Seasons... Or Wily Beast and Weakest Creature...
Would be epic if somebody went datamining the newer touhou games and found cut content or beta stuff that has art of or at least mentions Mima. That would mean ZUN is working on something with Mima, lol. Still, even if we don't get Mima, this entire franchise is still amazing, from music to story to character design, everything is just really interesting and awesome.
She's a unique case, I think she looks human to distinguish herself from the other ghosts, Yuyuko being the ghost princess. There is also a difference between ghosts and phantoms; ghosts were once living, while phantoms are born like that from the start, much like poltergeists.
*sniffs copium* Don't worry guys, that's just Mima in disguise pranking us with a new identity *revealed to be really a new 2hu* U-uh, maybe the culprit can't be defeated by humans and youkai. You know, because possession! Satori and Reimu will have to resort to a vengeful spirit whose body can't be possessed. Mima definitely fits there!! *they ask Tojiko instead/ZUN creates a new vengeful spirit for that role/turns out the culprit can be normally defeated by a corporeal like a human* I DON'T FUCKING KNOW ANYMORE
Hardware limitations never stopped ZUN at creating good songs.
actually the only limited thing on PC-98 hardware was the video card cause it could only support a 16 colors pallette, yeah kinda shameful for a 32-bit hardware
Love those 8-bit like songs
more like music cuz in songs someone must to sing my lad
@@minhh1356 it's called chiptune... Lot's of those become my way listened to window era ost because i love pc98 era so much

@@unhingedelbows2907 Don't say things like that. I want to increase the likelihood of Mima's come back, not decrease it to a complete zero.

I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES
Man, I love the exciting parts of this. This and Mima are so great.
She is in a Soul Gem :0
Come back Mima......... pls
even got a cool image animation for mima 👏
Gotta love how everyone has high hopes for touhou 20 being the return of lunarian lore or Makai or Mima only going off 20 being a huge landmark for the series but in reality not only does ZUN not care about any of that but he's so fucking drunk that you might ask him in a couple of years time about Marisa and he'd actually go like "Who?"
I don't want Da Ze to become irrelevant. Especially since he just dropped some lore for her in 19 with the introduction of Enoko.
@@lazydelibird Oh he won't abandon marisa alright, but if anything, he might actually abandon the enoko plot point or leave it untouched for years just like he's doing with misumaru now so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
I have been overlooking the classic games for too long. This is fire.
"It's more of the fact that ZUN doesn't know what to do with his older characters and how to incorporate them into the storylines of the Windows game" --> this exactly I believe is the reason as to why so little of the PC-98 casts ever got into the Windows games... I mean look, even Alice and Yuuka, very little were even mentioned about their previous meetings when they were reintroduced in the Windows games.
ZUN seriously needs 'that' spark of brilliance to reintroduce the old cast I believe
I finished the third game like a day ago and this was one of my favorite themes from that, mostly because the beginning blasted me with Cave Story vibes (even though this game came out first!!)
I live near a city called Mima! If you thought that wasn't crazy enough, I was born on the 9th! Insane coincidences!
I was thinking about a possibility where the zun made the 18 game, with a story where the characters disobey the speel card rule, it would be a good one as there would be a chance for the classic PC-98 characters to reappear
**WHY I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO THIS YET?**
Guys, ZUN has Mima in stage one of TD! The "Nameless" Ghost Spirit! It's Mima!
I think You mean Soga no Tojiko, stage 5 midboss.
Though it isn't mima
Blazing Burst The wiki says it's just a generic, unusually strong, divine spirit.
Marisa Aki yep
Evil spirits don't or at least shouldn't exist in the netherworld anyway. Evil spirits reside in hell, the former hell, and the area around the geyser and opening to the former hell.
It's just a divine spirit.
I will make a game where Mima is going to be the protagonist
I was trying but the game died
ChurriFMA just like mima
@Aumima Mimadino don't worry
you will always be alive in my memory
This song has the best intro in any Touhou song IMO
Karmanation
Just me?
Nope, me too
fucked up that the culprit in the latest chapter of cheating detective satori might actually be mima, like no joke, holy shit.... if it IS mima the fandom is gonna pop some fucking bottles at long last, if not, i can already taste the salt.
yes i am commenting this on all of her themes what about it?
Ah, the origin of everything, i'm never gonna have enough of the PC-98 era, is so beautiful and i might won't have nostalgic feelings since i don't have much time since the first time i played a Touhou game but still, is amazing
Hina is the new Mima!
Hym Verdan no
Hym Verdan DA FUCK Mima is not so hard xDDDDD
Hym Verdan Sanae, Koishi and Daiyousei too!...
Paula Cabezas Daiyousei ? Rrrrrreally ? Mima's reincarnation weaker than Cirno ?
Lord Hades don't blame me, there aren't my theories! xD I was joking
Zun pls Im on my knees
the fans will keep Mima around even if she dosn't appear in Cannon works,after all that is the point of Gensokio, Nothing is truely gone till it is forgotten.
I've listened to this song all day....and it sounds better EVERY TIME
0:54 my favourite part of this theme
When everyone wants Mima back but you don't even think about Mima coming back in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC
it feels like she would show up in touhou 19 for some reason
Valve would sooner make Portal 3, Team Fortress 3, and Half Life 3 than ZUN would put Mima in another game. He’s quite determined in that aspect.
Oh, God! Why hast thou abandoned thine previous creations!?! My very eyes run dry of tears for those who are now lost!
She was, infact, not in Ten Desires
I want Mima in a windows game!
Mima will be back
amen
th03 is really weird to play compared to the other PC98 games. The vs aspect of it is both fun and interesting. The firing can be kinda wonky though. The prize for odd gameplay goes to th01 though, it's pretty fun but completely different from everything else.
Well she certainly wasnt in Ten Desires... Or Double Dealing Character... Or Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom... Or Hidden Star in Four Seasons... Or Wily Beast and Weakest Creature...
maybe in 18
@@RaphielShiraha64 nope. She's not here
@@OkamiKai6980 touhou 19....
@@KomeijiPoketo honestly, could be.
I mean why have the word "ghost" in the game's title if there won't be any?
Marisa and Mima in a team just like the teams in IN
Would be epic if somebody went datamining the newer touhou games and found cut content or beta stuff that has art of or at least mentions Mima. That would mean ZUN is working on something with Mima, lol. Still, even if we don't get Mima, this entire franchise is still amazing, from music to story to character design, everything is just really interesting and awesome.
I'm from the future. Mima will only come back in Touhou 20. Touhou 19 may give you more info...
yknow what? If Mima actually returns in touhou 20, i’ll find a way to suck my own dick.
Maybe mima is the friends we made along the way
Acchi
DiPP version has the Acchi chorus
Mima's Reincarnation can be a fitting theme for a new Touhou Game
0:53 Go home Alucard! You're drunk.
Alucard: No, it doesn't make sense you're stealing my own song!
Mima: Dude, this is only part of your theme, so calm down lol.
This def give a different vibe from all other ost in PoDD
MIMA FOR TOUHOU 17
She's a unique case, I think she looks human to distinguish herself from the other ghosts, Yuyuko being the ghost princess. There is also a difference between ghosts and phantoms; ghosts were once living, while phantoms are born like that from the start, much like poltergeists.
Spirit who leaves returning to the dream of eternity
(To the vid descr.)
She's been in four games actually.
If you aren't a hardcore Mima fan, then you are a hardcore Reimu fan.
what if you're a hardcore mima fan AND a hardcore reimu fan?
come back mama
*She not's comeback 😭*
@@Renko_Hiyami mama’s gonna come back damn it
Her reincarnation will come soon
TOUHOU 19 MIMA HOPIUM
Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost
I feel like ZUN played a lot of Romancing Saga when making the themes for the first half dozen Touhou games or so.
Good and sad theme
RIP Mima
Now we have Mimi
*sniffs copium*
Don't worry guys, that's just Mima in disguise pranking us with a new identity
*revealed to be really a new 2hu*
U-uh, maybe the culprit can't be defeated by humans and youkai. You know, because possession! Satori and Reimu will have to resort to a vengeful spirit whose body can't be possessed. Mima definitely fits there!!
*they ask Tojiko instead/ZUN creates a new vengeful spirit for that role/turns out the culprit can be normally defeated by a corporeal like a human*
I DON'T FUCKING KNOW ANYMORE
Zun please feed us were starving
mima will return one day.. mark my word

We heard your warning. We've been waiting
ZUN, bring back Lady Mima ;__;
01:05 Dim.Dream and Reincarnation are linked
Good thing the full version will be released in August 12th.
I just hope she appears
