That beginning is everything. Youmu may be scared of the dark, ghosts, her phantom half, but she's not scared of knife-wielding maids trying to kill her, lol.
I always loved MinusT's attention to detail and the interpretation of the characters' personalities just through facial expressions and body language. Amazing work as always.
Also, I didn't noticed it during the premiere. But this video has a really interesting contrast if compared to Part 1. Part 1 was basically like seeing a war dogfight. Flying at high speeds, aerial magical artillery (Marisa literally missiled herself at one point), with ridiculously high stakes. A single mistake, and the girl could even lose her life (like when Marisa plunged to the ground at God's-know-how-fast only to gain speed and trying catch Reimu, or the fact that, if it weren't because of Yukari and Alice getting in the middle, both Reimu and Marisa would made a double knock out themselves at like 100 feet from the ground, and obviously thats an unsurvivable fall). Part 2, was the complete opposite, a close fist fight. Yeah, it really involves magic too, but its magic applied to their weapons and their bodies, not the attacks per se. Even with Remilia and Yuyuko, their fight was not that flying-focused. It only became like that once both couples rejoined. Obviously, in classic Touhou way, the fight was close to death a lot of times. (Poor Youmu, if we get serious, Sakuya really outclassed Youmu a big chunk of the fight, but Youmu's resilence really helped her)
Ive always joked Youmu acts more like a serial killer than Sakuya who literally has Jack the Ripper themed spellcards and that one scene of Sakuya being surprised at youmu slashing her knife in half while youmu has that cold dead expression makes me feel vindicated
@@Realdeal958 sakuya doesn't have red eyes, i think this is just a popular headcanon. Maybe the animator just put it in because they find it cool, or maybe they got inspired by this video: th-cam.com/video/5ICZ0AAgDuA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8L746HL7eBwiP_PY
I interpret Yuyuko as seeing Youmu being mistreated, and immediately throws hands against her attackers. Remilia and Sakuya then immediately respond in kind.
I mean, Alice and Yukari aren't that close to their human partners when compared to Remilia and Yuyuko. That and the fact that the two of them are really chill in general
It was obvious from the gesticulation that Marisa and Reimu didn't want others to join. The fight was probably just an expression of a friendly rivalry, rather unrelated to the incident. Also, as someone mentioned in reply to my comment, Alice and Yukari joining the fight would not be exactly fair. Not sure if Alice can stop a train with her face...
I mean, iirc, Alice was ready to throw hands and was charging magic when Yukari popped up. But she saw her all nonchalant and calm in the middle of the battlefield that made her hesitate and talk to her.
Seeing Yuyu and Remi actually dodge attacks is kinda funny ngl since they essentially face tank everything when u fight them in the games. I really like it.
@soulmantis4627 true but it's more so that they're behaving like their boss versions with all the workdays and stuff (also I mainly played reimu/yulari for touhou 8)
To be fair her knifes are magic. Some have special materials like silver, others (like the one that got possessed during DDC) are straight up cursed items that she got from serial killers and such.
My theory is that she puts her own magic power inside the knives to make them EFFECTIVE against youkais- for example, in SWR and UNL, some of her attacks in the game does indeed haves some kind of blue aura or something.
1:45 For those who will go "tHerE iS nOthinG tHat mY rOukaNkEn cAnnoT cUt", notice how Remilia pinched the blade **by the sides**. So Remilia's palm really was not hit and cut as a result. Really nice detail!
@@albertonishiyama1980 And also keeps causing time paradoxes and stuff so that hundreds of instances and iteration of the same knife can exist at the same time.
@@albertonishiyama1980I always find it stupidly funny to imagine Sakuya in the middle of a battle stopping time and starting to pick up the knives. The equivalent of a gunfight between two muskets
I'm amazed by how this is enough to frame Sakuya as truly deadly, confident and terrifying, as she is and as her time-stopping powers are; and Youmu as meeker and fighting for her life; and yet, as we see Sakuya constantly overpowering Youmu, it's also fascinating to witness how Youmu's brave attacks with superspeed, and also how she quickly learns Sakuya's tricks and starts to anticipate them, truly surprises Sakuya and makes her initial confidence her possible downfall. It feels really... realistic? Like, yeah, that's definitely how these two characters would fight each other. Also I screamed when Remilia appeared and it turned into a 2vs2 fight. That was incredible.
@@Shyguymask Overpowering Youmu may be the wrong word then, as indeed Youmu wins through her blade that cuts through everything and her sheer strength - more like, overwhelming her with knives and timestop? I felt like Sakuya was leading the fight most of the time with some kind of ease, and yet she gets in a more and more precarious position due to Youmu's strength and how she learns to predict the maid's moves.
I can see Sakuya being overconfident. They last fought in PCB, where Sakuya came out as the victor, so she probably thinks it would be more of the same. But the difference between then and here is Youmu now has experience fighting her and her time stopping shenanigans, and is better able to adapt. And knowing Youmu, she probably trained her butt off too.
1:35 It's insane how Youmu, once time stopped, is looking Sakuya exactly in the eyes, even at the speed she was going. All her fear and uncertainty is gone when it matters, and that's gotta be my absolute favorite way Youmu gets characterized
lmfao at sakuya jojo-posing at 1:30 also, PEAK, liked the shift in focus to melee combat for this one as opposed to the freakish dogfighting in part 1, please cook again in part 3
I love that this video does show just how powerful and skilled Sakuya is with her power to manipulate time, as well as her strategic mindset. Especially at 2:53 with her second attempt at Silver Actue 360, where instead of just letting the knives fly, she _joins Youmu in the field_ and, knowing now that Youmu can cut her knives, keeps the knife field frozen and individually unfreezes specific knives in order to replace which ever knives she loses/Youmu cuts, while also using the frozen knives as steps for better mobility.
@@ryuura6642 ehh, im not sure... Those things are kinda inaccurate, I mean Marisa and Reimu also "can move faster than speed of light" because they flew "corridor of infinity finity time" or something like that, while obviously, they can't move that fast, because they haven't shown it anywhere else, I like to call such things "empty feats".
2:56 So far I've noticed very few people talking about this part. It is a big moment, Sakuya actually scores a hit, and Youmu clearly gets startled by that
@@Shyguymask haha I was not sure what the english word for that would be. But yeah what I really liked from that scene is that after the first encounter where Sakuya clearly underestimated what Youmu could do, she actually reused the same attack, but with a twist that Youmu could not expect. It is a very cool way of showing mid battle the capabilities of both characters of "figuring out" a strategy mid fight :D
Can't believe the comment I made about being excited waiting for part 2 of Eternal Night was 2 years ago. Goddamn time flies and now I feels like I aged a decade but I never lost hope.
I love those flashy bullet hell firowork-show battles, but damn the close-ranged fight scenes between Youmu and Sakuya were just lowkey insane. It was like watching an actual anime made by an actual anime studio, and I had my jaw dropped the entire video. Also liked the subtle details like Sakuya's eyes turning red whenever she uses her time-stopping abilities, Sakuya stopping time to retrieve the knives that she threw, and Youmu being scared of the dark at the beginning. I also loved the part when Remilia and Yuyuko joined in. Always expected it to be a duel between Youmu and Sakuya so it was quite surprising for me to see it become a 2vs2 bullet hell firework show.
I love how Sakuya does Dio poses at 3:45 and 1:29 right as she uses The World,also amazing that there was the detail of Yuyuko's shooting orbs being able to move independently just like in Imperishable Night.We love your animations minusT and please keep doing what you do! (Also love your Yuyukari doujins,you are an amazing artist on top of an incredible animator,we are blessed to have you)
The characters are somehow moving even more fluidly than ever. This is absolutely stunning. I particularly can't believe how seamless the 2v2 battles worked out with Yuyu/Remi lobbing big shots at each other while the Youmu/Sakuya fight continued in the middle of the barrage.
This one was really special. In a way, it feels like a love letter to all of your previous work and your journey since then: Remilia and her spells, 11 years ago and now... Yuyuko and her spells, 10 years ago and now... and Sakuya from Yukari's fight, 8 years ago and now. It struck me the most seeing Sakuya use Illusion Sign "Killer Doll" at 2:28, because it instantly took me back to when I saw it in your animations many years ago for the first time. Things have changed a lot in 11 years, but you still continue to make great things. Keep doing your best and being your best, minusT! We'll be supporting you all the way!
I still remember when minusT's subterranean animism animation came out... second semester of my sophomore year in college, getting breakfast at the Hans Bethe dining room with the video over and over on replay. I can't believe it's been over 7 years since, and I'm on the hype train again for another long awaited release!
Yeah, think I was around the same age, sitting the lounge of one of the Moore Hall building watching it with some of my friends. It’s amazing how much better he’s gotten even from then.
@@zenknt I thought of adding singular punches, kicks, slashes, knife throws and etc from the fighting games but I thought it would be too much work for too generic attacks 😅 but yeah, I guess you're right
the choreography of this masterpiece is once more awesome. At 02:46, Sakuya catches a knife deflected by Youmu to press the attack with it, and it's really cool.
2:49 - 2:50 Watch this bit slowly. Sakuya throws a faint attack to close the distance, which Youmu falls for. Then when she follows up for what looks like is going to be a brutal stab, Youmu is fast enough to dodge it and counter. With no other options, Sakuya has to use the momentum of her previous swing to turn herself around to the point that she can block with the dagger she used for the faint attack. This all happens in, like, half a second. Insane animation.
Love how Youmu can cut through Sakuya's knives, which evens out the playing field against Sakuya's timestop "The things that cannot be cut by my Roukanken, forged by youkai... are next to none!"
The animations looks so fluid especially in close combat, now i am more excited about the dudes who are gonna add sound effects to the close combat and the slashes.
I always forget that there are no sound effects... Like the animation is so 'convincing' by itself that my brain kinda automatically imagines SFX on top of it.
@BlueDog15391 ikr, it's the same for me as well. The animation is so damn smooth that it's far too easy to imagine the sfx only too realize it's all in my head.
I actually really enjoy how abrupt Sakuya’s time stop is. There’s no visual effect, no sound, just one frame things are here and the next they’ve been changed.
This makes me so happy. Ngl i'm so excited to see Yuyuko again. The contrast between Yuyuko's flowy movement and Remilia's fierce movement is very real nice. Both Youmu's and Sakuya's melee is pretty incredible to watch.
Of so many things that I love about this, I do love how it just goes with the fact we all know Sakuya can stop and slow time and just shows the results of her doing it.
Sakuya's "Oh crap" moment when Youmu breaks her knives during time stop is amazing. The viseo was about to be third of the length without Remilia stepping in.
A heartwarming/ funny thing I found is the position both Remilia and Yuyuoko appear from implied they were watching not far away in the bamboo forest implies they were watching the two the whole time and only stepped in because they were worried that their servants would get actually hurt.
Everything is so... perfect. The mere fact that it's finally here. The combat choreography between them - who fights who, how they fight, alternating between ranged and melee. The fact that Remi and Yuyuko actually joined. (Unlike Alice and Yukari, who's sitting in the background, enjoying the show and placing bets on their comrades.) The awesome animation, as always. The teaser for part three. This is exactly what my day needed.
MinusT, once more blessing us with a magnificent project, which doesn't seize to amaze at both the larger scale as well as all the small details. Youmu being scared of that which she can't see but suddenly discovering her courage, once she has a visible target to fight is just the first one. I like in particular how Yuyuko still floats around like she doesn't give a care in the world, even during the dogfight in the air. The most movement she does is a salto mortale, otherwise, she always moves without actually rearranging her posture, like a ghost probably would. And the reflections on Roukanken and Hakurouken are an incredible attention to detail, especially while Remilia holds the blade and tilts it!
Love how, despite no word being spoken, you can see what happens in their heads during fight. In Part 1 it was overconfident Reimu expecting easy win, and getting more and more frustrated, because Marisa keep leveling the field by thinking on her feet. In Part 2 Sakuya starts confident in her advantage, but quickly realises Youmu, also aware of it, can easily negate that advantage by fighting defensively, waiting for Sakuya to slip or push too hard. Especially love bold intimidation attempt at 1:25, that ends up in a complete failure, almost costing her a fight
Another thing is, by the time of Imperishable Night and fights between Teams, Sakura and Youmu know each other already, it's unknown who solved the lost Spring incident, but Sakuya was one of MC for the PCB regardless. So her, starting aggressively and overconfident in her abilities, because she won previous danmaku battle with her in PCB really adds another whole layer to their encounter.
I like how both mistress first move is totally in character for both of them. Remilia is up your face and dramatic while yuyuoko tries to do the smart thing and snipe both Sakuya and Remilia while they are distracted.
I really love how each of the 4 have parts of their personalities show through their expressions and actions throughout the entire video. Yuyuko's always flowing and graceful even amidst battle, Sakuya is composed and tactical, Youmu is observant and determined, and finally Remilia exudes power and a bit of smugness. This is every bit the masterpiece as the first 2 parts of Eternal Night. Keep up the amazing work, MinusT!
I think it's really nice how remilia and yuyuko's flying "styles" are so distinct! I've thought this since part 0, but it's even more prominent in this video, so I just wanted to mention it!
Touhou: where it doesn't matter who's right - it matters who's LEFT, and HOW. And this was one heck of a spectacle to witness. Thanks so much for this contribution to the Touhou Fandom, we really appreciate it, 'migo; my jaw broke as it hit the ground on this one.
I really love the way things glow under the night, it really adds to the appeal! It’s also cool to understand them even without saying a word. ^^ Fantastic work as always!!
I also like the detail at 3:30 where Yuyuko and Remilia are starting to use their first non-spell from their respective games, which causes Youmu and Sakuya to come to their aid cus *shit's about to get real* when their mistresses are beginning a full-on spellcard battle.

Sakuya's gace when Youmu breaks her knives in The World is priceless. Youmu carries those swords because she knows how to use them.
Also, I didn't noticed it during the premiere. But this video has a really interesting contrast if compared to Part 1.
Part 1 was basically like seeing a war dogfight. Flying at high speeds, aerial magical artillery (Marisa literally missiled herself at one point), with ridiculously high stakes.
A single mistake, and the girl could even lose her life (like when Marisa plunged to the ground at God's-know-how-fast only to gain speed and trying catch Reimu, or the fact that, if it weren't because of Yukari and Alice getting in the middle, both Reimu and Marisa would made a double knock out themselves at like 100 feet from the ground, and obviously thats an unsurvivable fall).
Part 2, was the complete opposite, a close fist fight. Yeah, it really involves magic too, but its magic applied to their weapons and their bodies, not the attacks per se. Even with Remilia and Yuyuko, their fight was not that flying-focused. It only became like that once both couples rejoined. Obviously, in classic Touhou way, the fight was close to death a lot of times. (Poor Youmu, if we get serious, Sakuya really outclassed Youmu a big chunk of the fight, but Youmu's resilence really helped her)
Didn't expect a lisa enjoyer to be here
Ive always joked Youmu acts more like a serial killer than Sakuya who literally has Jack the Ripper themed spellcards and that one scene of Sakuya being surprised at youmu slashing her knife in half while youmu has that cold dead expression makes me feel vindicated

I really like the detail that Sakuya's eyes turn red whenever she stops time; it perfectly merges the reason for her two eye colors.
Pretty sure the eyes turning red when using her powers thing is canon
or maybe I'm just confused and its merely a popular headcanon
I always thought it was because of the moon. So there's an actual reason her eyes turn red?
@@Realdeal958 nah, that happens to humans when they see the true full moon. That happened to youmu before fighting against kaguya

Seeing Yuyu and Remi actually dodge attacks is kinda funny ngl since they essentially face tank everything when u fight them in the games. I really like it.
It's like a high-level RPG character not bothering to dodge because they have so much HP.
Game mechanics vs the in-universe reality always surprises people for some reason.

@soulmantis4627 true but it's more so that they're behaving like their boss versions with all the workdays and stuff (also I mainly played reimu/yulari for touhou 8)
The boss when you fight him VS the boss after he joins your party
everyone: throwing magic and laser all over the place
sakuya: KNIFE
To be fair her knifes are magic.
Some have special materials like silver, others (like the one that got possessed during DDC) are straight up cursed items that she got from serial killers and such.
Always bring a knife to a magic fight

Sakuya: You’re no match for me. With my time powers I can ju-
Youmu: I’m fast as f*ck boiiiii
They both have power of Time Stop.
@@Lemuel928 Youmu doesn't she's just fast in short bursts
@@Lemuel928 Youmu is really just fast af, her 200 Yojana in one slash spellcard might suggest that she can move as fast as mach 70.
Youmu should be able to "slow time" right? Y'know, like some of her spellcards and her Last Word
@@ryuura6642 ehh, im not sure... Those things are kinda inaccurate, I mean Marisa and Reimu also "can move faster than speed of light" because they flew "corridor of infinity finity time" or something like that, while obviously, they can't move that fast, because they haven't shown it anywhere else, I like to call such things "empty feats".
I really love how Youmu blocks the knifes and Sakuya gets surprised in 1:34
妖夢は未熟だけど攻撃速度だけは超強いのとか、咲夜が戦い慣れしてて自分の弱点カバーした動きで対応するのとか、幽々子様がふわふわ動いて少し遅い弾速で相手を追い詰めるのとか、レミリアが調子に乗った笑みを浮かべてるけど頼れる主人なところとか細かい所作の表現が巧みで最高
2:56 So far I've noticed very few people talking about this part. It is a big moment, Sakuya actually scores a hit, and Youmu clearly gets startled by that
That's not a "hit" what? She literally just grazed Youmu's big skirt with a small cut, didn't actually hit her at all.
She didn't hit her, she grazed her.
@@Shyguymask haha I was not sure what the english word for that would be. But yeah what I really liked from that scene is that after the first encounter where Sakuya clearly underestimated what Youmu could do, she actually reused the same attack, but with a twist that Youmu could not expect. It is a very cool way of showing mid battle the capabilities of both characters of "figuring out" a strategy mid fight :D

Can't believe the comment I made about being excited waiting for part 2 of Eternal Night was 2 years ago. Goddamn time flies and now I feels like I aged a decade but I never lost hope.
YEET
+1
This comment is going to be 2 years old by the time part 3 comes out too 🥲
And we will wait and be insanely impressed after those two years.
We will wait as long as we have to. Art takes time, and once released, we will enjoy forever.
飛び方の挙動が4人とも全部違うの凄い
今までと趣が異なる、接近戦ならではの緊迫感と緩急のある演出がすごく楽しかった
刃物を使うこの二人のマッチングについての新しい解釈を観ることができてとても興味深い
日本刀の構えについてもしっかりと考証がなされているのがいい
お互いの技と反応を見ながら次の一手が変わっていく様子に見ているこっちも「つぎはどうなる」「そうくるのか」と思考が引き込まれるシナリオ設計はすごい
モデリング、アニメーションに加えてエンターテイメントとして完成度の高いシナリオがデザインできるのは本当に驚異的な総合力だと思う
東方Projectファンに限らず、いろいろな分野のクリエイターにもぜひ見てもらいたい動画だ
個人のクリエイションもここまで洗練された作品を仕上げることができるんだって勇気がもらえる
I love those flashy bullet hell firowork-show battles, but damn the close-ranged fight scenes between Youmu and Sakuya were just lowkey insane. It was like watching an actual anime made by an actual anime studio, and I had my jaw dropped the entire video. Also liked the subtle details like Sakuya's eyes turning red whenever she uses her time-stopping abilities, Sakuya stopping time to retrieve the knives that she threw, and Youmu being scared of the dark at the beginning. I also loved the part when Remilia and Yuyuko joined in. Always expected it to be a duel between Youmu and Sakuya so it was quite surprising for me to see it become a 2vs2 bullet hell firework show.
I love how Sakuya does Dio poses at 3:45 and 1:29 right as she uses The World,also amazing that there was the detail of Yuyuko's shooting orbs being able to move independently just like in Imperishable Night.We love your animations minusT and please keep doing what you do!
(Also love your Yuyukari doujins,you are an amazing artist on top of an incredible animator,we are blessed to have you)
咲夜さんの能力の表し方がかっこよすぎる....
The characters are somehow moving even more fluidly than ever. This is absolutely stunning. I particularly can't believe how seamless the 2v2 battles worked out with Yuyu/Remi lobbing big shots at each other while the Youmu/Sakuya fight continued in the middle of the barrage.

The close combat was a really gorgeous touch to this animation! Also, the hostility of both factions are clear as light here
あくまで対人戦闘な咲夜と妖夢と、桁違いの規模でやりあう主人達の対比が良い
This one was really special.
In a way, it feels like a love letter to all of your previous work and your journey since then:
Remilia and her spells, 11 years ago and now...
Yuyuko and her spells, 10 years ago and now...
and Sakuya from Yukari's fight, 8 years ago and now.
It struck me the most seeing Sakuya use Illusion Sign "Killer Doll" at 2:28, because it instantly took me back to when I saw it in your animations many years ago for the first time.
Things have changed a lot in 11 years, but you still continue to make great things. Keep doing your best and being your best, minusT! We'll be supporting you all the way!
ありがとうございます！
とても素晴らしい動画です。
ありがとうございます！！！
I still remember when minusT's subterranean animism animation came out... second semester of my sophomore year in college, getting breakfast at the Hans Bethe dining room with the video over and over on replay. I can't believe it's been over 7 years since, and I'm on the hype train again for another long awaited release!
We always will be. This king only improves. These animations make me thankful for being alive at the time I am.
It was the end of my first year in uni, a great way to wrap up the start!
Yeah, think I was around the same age, sitting the lounge of one of the Moore Hall building watching it with some of my friends. It’s amazing how much better he’s gotten even from then.
When Remilia grabs Youmu's sword at 1:45 was absolutely sick!
The whole video was amazing!! Worth the wait!!
Can't wait for part 3 now!
Nos vemos en otros 2 años.
ナイスパーー！！

3:06 - Hisoutensoku Sakuya - Magic Star Sword aswell, I think
@@zenknt I thought of adding singular punches, kicks, slashes, knife throws and etc from the fighting games but I thought it would be too much work for too generic attacks 😅 but yeah, I guess you're right
i think 1:55 is not a spellcard but rather a skill card from swr named lights of the unborn
0:35 is Sakuya's first non spell.
Her misdirection spell card starts at: 0:48
the choreography of this masterpiece is once more awesome. At 02:46, Sakuya catches a knife deflected by Youmu to press the attack with it, and it's really cool.
2:49 - 2:50 Watch this bit slowly. Sakuya throws a faint attack to close the distance, which Youmu falls for. Then when she follows up for what looks like is going to be a brutal stab, Youmu is fast enough to dodge it and counter. With no other options, Sakuya has to use the momentum of her previous swing to turn herself around to the point that she can block with the dagger she used for the faint attack.
This all happens in, like, half a second. Insane animation.
Holy shit, you are right. That is just unbelievable, minus T is really just built different
Love how Youmu can cut through Sakuya's knives, which evens out the playing field against Sakuya's timestop
"The things that cannot be cut by my Roukanken, forged by youkai... are next to none!"
can't be cut by, you mean?
@@BiIafy good catch
The animations looks so fluid especially in close combat, now i am more excited about the dudes who are gonna add sound effects to the close combat and the slashes.
I always forget that there are no sound effects... Like the animation is so 'convincing' by itself that my brain kinda automatically imagines SFX on top of it.
@BlueDog15391 ikr, it's the same for me as well. The animation is so damn smooth that it's far too easy to imagine the sfx only too realize it's all in my head.
I actually really enjoy how abrupt Sakuya’s time stop is. There’s no visual effect, no sound, just one frame things are here and the next they’ve been changed.
예전에 잠시 표현하셨던 요우무 칼로 탄막 쳐내는 모습을 다시보니 감동 ㅠ
ナイスパーーー!!!!
감사합니다!!
Waited 2 years for a 5 minute annimation by the one and only minusT
Absolutely worth it, and will definitely do it again
貴方の弾幕は本当に美しいし何より原作の２Dからのリスペクト、構造考察、昇華がめちゃくちゃ上手い
音楽の合わせ方もキャラの演技も最高
This makes me so happy. Ngl i'm so excited to see Yuyuko again. The contrast between Yuyuko's flowy movement and Remilia's fierce movement is very real nice. Both Youmu's and Sakuya's melee is pretty incredible to watch.
Another thing to note about Yuyuko vs Remilia is that Yuyuko never loses her composure while Remilia acts like this a game.
いや〜…めっちゃ鳥肌立つ…
かっこよすぎでしょ…Part1のときも思ったけど…
これ制作してると思うとすごすぎる…
才能の塊…
Of so many things that I love about this, I do love how it just goes with the fact we all know Sakuya can stop and slow time and just shows the results of her doing it.
You know this is peak Touhou Project content when Sakuya's 0:16 walk has you hypnotized.
Here's another one 1:23
Look at those mesmerizing hip
@@usernamed0189 The perfect distraction for a Xemnas caliber set up.
Sakuya's "Oh crap" moment when Youmu breaks her knives during time stop is amazing.
The viseo was about to be third of the length without Remilia stepping in.
A heartwarming/ funny thing I found is the position both Remilia and Yuyuoko appear from implied they were watching not far away in the bamboo forest implies they were watching the two the whole time and only stepped in because they were worried that their servants would get actually hurt.
Everything is so... perfect.
The mere fact that it's finally here.
The combat choreography between them - who fights who, how they fight, alternating between ranged and melee.
The fact that Remi and Yuyuko actually joined. (Unlike Alice and Yukari, who's sitting in the background, enjoying the show and placing bets on their comrades.)
The awesome animation, as always.
The teaser for part three.
This is exactly what my day needed.
to be fair if Yukari joined the fight it wouldn't be fair unlike Yuyoko facing Remilia
@@stephaniejohnson5361 Hmm...
Alice: Shouldn't we fight as well?
Yukari: Can you stop a train with your face?
Alice: Okay let's just enjoy the show...
Thanks! I've been watching your animation for many years.
Thank you!!
MinusT, once more blessing us with a magnificent project, which doesn't seize to amaze at both the larger scale as well as all the small details. Youmu being scared of that which she can't see but suddenly discovering her courage, once she has a visible target to fight is just the first one. I like in particular how Yuyuko still floats around like she doesn't give a care in the world, even during the dogfight in the air. The most movement she does is a salto mortale, otherwise, she always moves without actually rearranging her posture, like a ghost probably would. And the reflections on Roukanken and Hakurouken are an incredible attention to detail, especially while Remilia holds the blade and tilts it!
ちゃんと放つ弾幕技や使用の仕方に原作再現とリスペクトを感じられて、最高のファンメイドアニメーションでした！
殺陣のシーンでも優雅かつトリッキーに立ち回る咲夜さんと、いざ戦闘となると真っ向からぶつかる姿勢の妖夢がいい対比ですし、それぞれの主も含めてキャラの個性が戦闘スタイルや体運びに表れてるのが素晴らしい…
1:39 Love the blink and you miss it detail here. The bamboo is cut and starts to fall when Youmu jumps away.
I really love the extra effort that went into making so many of interactions between Youmu and Sakuya exactly in beat with the music.
I really love that at 1:52 for a split second Sakuya turns to Yuyuko's direction, noticing her before Remilia does. Very subtle but cool detail.
That was so beautiful to watch. Incredible dynamic between Sakuya and Youmu through and through.
Dude this is actually so climatic and well animated
Love how, despite no word being spoken, you can see what happens in their heads during fight.
In Part 1 it was overconfident Reimu expecting easy win, and getting more and more frustrated, because Marisa keep leveling the field by thinking on her feet.
In Part 2 Sakuya starts confident in her advantage, but quickly realises Youmu, also aware of it, can easily negate that advantage by fighting defensively, waiting for Sakuya to slip or push too hard.
Especially love bold intimidation attempt at 1:25, that ends up in a complete failure, almost costing her a fight
Another thing is, by the time of Imperishable Night and fights between Teams, Sakura and Youmu know each other already, it's unknown who solved the lost Spring incident, but Sakuya was one of MC for the PCB regardless. So her, starting aggressively and overconfident in her abilities, because she won previous danmaku battle with her in PCB really adds another whole layer to their encounter.
謝謝！
I like how both mistress first move is totally in character for both of them. Remilia is up your face and dramatic while yuyuoko tries to do the smart thing and snipe both Sakuya and Remilia while they are distracted.
My body was not ready for the Deadly Dance -> Hell God Sword combo. Sick show of teamwork between Youmu and Yuyuko.
1:25
2:38
2:53
I love that Sakuya is properly recovering the knives in these scenes.
ここちゃんと咲夜さんがナイフ回収してるの好き
THIS IS AMAZING I DIDN'T EXPECT YUYUKO VS REMILIA
This is naturally the best 3d animation I have ever seen in my life
I really love how each of the 4 have parts of their personalities show through their expressions and actions throughout the entire video. Yuyuko's always flowing and graceful even amidst battle, Sakuya is composed and tactical, Youmu is observant and determined, and finally Remilia exudes power and a bit of smugness.
This is every bit the masterpiece as the first 2 parts of Eternal Night. Keep up the amazing work, MinusT!
I think it's really nice how remilia and yuyuko's flying "styles" are so distinct! I've thought this since part 0, but it's even more prominent in this video, so I just wanted to mention it!
butterflies vs bats is SUCH a cool visual. Thanks for another epic animation!
Touhou: where it doesn't matter who's right - it matters who's LEFT, and HOW.
And this was one heck of a spectacle to witness.
Thanks so much for this contribution to the Touhou Fandom, we really appreciate it, 'migo;
my jaw broke as it hit the ground on this one.
2:37めちゃくちゃかっこいいけど時止めて地道にナイフ拾ってるんだと思うと笑えてくる
She just casually strolls through the field and picks up every single one lmaoo
意外とエコな咲夜さんすこ
わかります！早く早く…って一生懸命やってるの思い浮かべて笑った😊
空間も操るからきっと…
うまいこと集めてるんたろうな
預言者現る
yukari: "stfu im trying to nap"
yuyuko: *flees*
切れぬものなどあんまりない vs 時間停止 の演出がすごかった！！！ 咲夜さんのナイフが切られて時間停止で回避からの反撃、時間を止められても脅威の反応速度で回避する脳筋妖夢ちゃん！！ あと咲夜さんの黒スト解釈一致すぎる
I really love the way things glow under the night, it really adds to the appeal! It’s also cool to understand them even without saying a word. ^^ Fantastic work as always!!
I also like the detail at 3:30 where Yuyuko and Remilia are starting to use their first non-spell from their respective games, which causes Youmu and Sakuya to come to their aid cus *shit's about to get real* when their mistresses are beginning a full-on spellcard battle.
When Remilda and Yuyuko cut into the fight I shit my pants, this was awesome! Well worth the wait, these animations never disapoint!!
Giving Monty Oum a run for his money. Would love to see this kind of talent go to a full show.
Let's not compare to dead people out of respect, okay?
@@katier9725He's not a sacred artifact. He's just another artist. It's not a sin to compare him to other animators like him.
@@katier9725lucky is right, its been years. Not mentioned comparing is hard not to do considering he was also very talented
@@katier9725 Shove it
@katier9725 The comment is intended as a compliment to both artists, both of which I adore the work of.
簡直太棒了，花錢支持繼續創作！！

たった四分の動画とは思えない濃密さ。
haha sakuya throwing a knife to rebound off of at 1:19 was so cool, really love how clever MinusT got with the timestop stuff
1:26 「 囲われた!?仕方ない...弾くか」までの判断の速さ好き
