Well between Marisa's "Master" and "Spark" Reimu coreographed all her attack. I don't know if Marisa waited for her to shoot (giving Eirin a decade to dodge or even counter hit them) or if Reimu did it really fast in like within a second.
@@ReiLeo i know right . From silent sinner in blue , yorihime beats reimu marisa remi and sakuya. That was yorihime’s first experience to play in a spellcard battle.
It really warms my Heart that Sakuya who fought Reimu in the Mansion and was defeated, is now fighting alongside her together with her Mistress, Remilia.
Well Sakuya was not fighting alongside Reimu by sympathy, but because Eirin was a global threat so they had to unite in order to fight a greater threat, also because Remilia ordered so.
True Eirin: Majestic, calm, and wise albeit flawed and unusual. Kaguya's friend, consultant, and guardian. Had no intention of killing the protagonists. "Kids chill out! You're getting your moon back soon, okay? :)" This Eirin: Edgy, annoying, Kaguya's (and Remilia's) bitch. "Since our Eientei had been found out, you have no other choice than to die! grrrrrr x("
To be fair, she actually wanted to protect Kaguya. Although she didn't want to kill the protagonists, she still wanted to get them out of the way and not harm the princess. So.. The anime did kinda portray her right here.
@@hannahbg1852 Eirin wasn't aggressive at all in the game; she only gets serious when Lunarians are involved. Granted the whole premise revolves around hiding Reisen and by extension Kaguya from Lunarians, but considering Eirin's relaxed and overconfident attitude, the risk likely wasn't very high by that point. As for Kaguya being physically harmed; Eirin already allowed her to murder and be murdered by Mokou for 300 years. She wasn't all that worried about the immortal princess getting into a fight she would enjoy anyway!
Pretty much that, as far as it concerns her Eirin was preventing Kaguya from being taken aways by the Lunarians, as she wished to stay down in Earth since she likes it more than the Moon, and by extension also hides Reisen as she was in a similar situation to Kaguya. Eirin has her motives too, since most of Lunarians are widely known for being selfish and haughty, and she wanted to make Kaguya's wish true to be forgiven by the princess over the incident with the Hourai elixir. However, as of now almost every Lunarian had forgotten about Kaguya and Eirin, except the Watatsuki sisters who still dearly miss Eirin and Sagume who has dealt with Gensokyo recently.
There was a risk involved yes, but it wasn't high towards the end as evidenced by Eirin's behavior. Eirin was aware the protagonists weren't here to take Kaguya and had no connection with Lunarians. In this particular incident, she was even more chill than Kaguya who somewhat snaps during her last spells in both endings, the anime threw these elements out the window and went their own way. They basically didn't like Zun's writing and tried to fix it by changing Eirin's behavior to fit their understanding of the story. If I recall correctly, Eirin and Kaguya weren't killed/resurrected during their encounter. The protagonists didn't know about immortality until they faced Mokou, which further shows Eirin and Kaguya weren't very serious, they were playing, telling stories, and listening! If the risk was too high, it's possible they would have chosen to kill Reisen (like the other moon rabbits Eirin killed to escape with Kaguya), but they didn't. You can interprit that as them growing attached to Reisen (which is true), but I think the stakes weren't super high in the first place. Or maybe they were; it's open to interpretation.
@@ReiLeo i mean you kinda can. Eirin is one of the goddesses resposible on the creation of lunar capital while also being mentor of not only yorihime, but also her sister and even one of those sisters was enough to take out Sakuya, Remilia, Marisa and Reimu in silent sinner blues. Heck the 4 were only spared, because Marisa convinced Yorihime to fight with spell card rules. Eirin herself is also described to be the strongest amongst 3 hourai immortals. Oh also the other sister actually managed to subdue Yukari and Ran(under shikigami possession most likely as when Ran is working under Yukari's orders Zun has stated that she has power equal to her msster). Like we can just assume things based on subjective opinion as touhou powerscaling is s nightmare and only things we know are that Okina and Hecatis are on top, but this is just my take on this.
@@ReiLeo it may be more likely that it would be Hecatia, Okina and then either Watatsuki sisters or Sagume. Okina is pretty much only character who has actively threatened Hecatia and made her back off while also being stated to have ability similiar to Yukari, but on another level. Heck Okina even threathened Hecatia by choking out clownpiece to send a message.(that manga was pretty good) . It is even stated that even during extra stage she was not even going all out and was playing by spell card rules. In one part it was also stated by Okina that if Gensokyou would be ever wiped out with all it's residents she would still have the power to recreate everything down to core with a move of her hand. Also i really like the notion on Zun that she was originally planned to sit on wheelchair but the design was scrapped since Zun was afraid of the mockery people would make of the character, but after positive reception he gave manga artist instruction to redesign okina with the wheelchair as the character states that even if you are not able bodied you can still do anything which i found very wholesome of him to do. Oh also as for why i would guess that sagume or watatsuki sisters would be amongst top 3 would be because Sagume is confirmed to be one of the gods who made lunar capital and be on par with the god of moon and in lolk she barely tried to put up a fight as the stage 4 is simply a test to see if heroine can take on Junko. Like Junko is stated to be strong, but her main threat to lunar capital was the fact that she was with Hecatia and Hecatia's army. Byakuren is more of stated to be not followed by her power. Like she is physically strong, but even then Suika and Yuugi are likely stronger in power so most likely she is on par with high tier yokai like moukou is. Eirin would probably be able to match the sisters and sagume, however she is likely been surprassed by the two sisters as the watatduki sisters were stated to be the strongest characters so far during silent sinner blues. Altho this is just my take on it so far based on things i have read and heard. I am just some random gay guy who has been into this lore for quite awhile. Like i mainly follow touhou for soundtracks and i lowkey unironically like the mangas.
man it still bugs me that this anime wasn't official and was actually made by the community it's insane how it took them 10 years to make at least one episode of this, they really never gave up making this fanmade Touhou series huh
I can imagine this battle without spellcard rules....Oh god the horror Eirin at 100% Fantasy Nature 24/7 Spammed Sure-Fire Master Sparks Infinite Time Manipulation Unrestricted Fate Manipulation See kids, this is why the spellcard rules are a thing
I don't think Eirin was following spell rules here, she was trying to kill (and Marisa would have died if not by Sakuya). And I don't think Sakuya and Remilia were holding back either because they comboed time stop with Gungnir, that for me was a pretty much kill intent. Thing is, in the original lore this fight was against Yohorime, not Eirin.
@@ReiLeo What do you mean "original lore"? Eiyashou is 4 teams (Reimu+Yukari, Marisa+Alice, Sakuya+Remilia, Youmu+Yuyuko) vs. Eientei crew, more-or-less led by Eirin (cause Kaguya best NEET). All the anime does is merge the fights, so it's several teams working together vs. Eirin instead of following just one team (though, we know that they're solving the incident in parallel due to the stage 4 altercation). Yorihime appears in Bougetsushou, where similar-ish fights do occur - Sakuya, Remi, Marisa, and Reimu fight Yorihime on the Moon, Yukari pulls off chessmaster moves and distracts Toyohime, and Yuyuko raids the pantry with Youmu. There's some parallelism (similar characters, Lunarian opponents), but they're two entirely separate storylines that don't have much in common. Also, Yorihime wins by a landslide in Bougetsushou, and Yukari surrenders to Toyohime carrying WMDs (though this was part of the plan). Eiyashou canonically ends with Eientei losing, though keep in mind that Eirin taught the Watatsuki sisters, so Eirin and Kaguya are very much OP (like all Lunarians). Regarding them going all out, Eirin very much explicitly states (in Eiyashou) that she's just playing with them until the morning when she'll return the Moon either way. She's essentially playing defense so the spell isn't disrupted, and isn't even taking them seriously. On the other hand, Yorihime treats their rocket expedition as an act of war and is openly talking about killing everyone and retaliating against Earth/Gensoukyou, though they eventually convince her to use spellcard rules instead (which she's never heard of until then). Toyohime threatens to vaporize half of Gensoukyou using her fan before Yukari surrenders. Lunarians be scary, yo.
This is only to be expected from a fandom as legendary as Touhou. They have lived on strong for over two decades, no wonder there would be talented and motivated animators among them.
@@tosyl_chloride Tohou fans are straight up badasses. They have a brutally difficult game, they made anime and tons of fanart out of it and even a computer virus that forces you to git gud.
@@ailius1520 Well thanks to Touhou's incredibly nutty power scaling, Sakuya could have reaction times faster than light while LOWBALLED, so you'd have to make it one hell of a surprise if you don't want her just immediately stopping time. Also she can straight up erase objects and people from timelines apparently so...yeah🤷
@@ailius1520 there is a way to "trap" Sakuya with spellcard rules, just have her completely surrounded with bullets on all ends with no space to exit Yorihime was actually able to beat her this way in Silent Sinner Blue (while operating within spellcard rules if my memory serves) after she realized that Sakuya isn't able to teleport
@@kn-jt9dj Yep! But as you said, that was within the spell card rules. According to Sakuya's profile and lore in some of the Touhou manga, Sakuya can erase objects from a timeline. So if you try to do that outside of a spell card battle...yeah, it probably wouldn't be the most effective way to defeat her😅
@@10054 I get that, but considering that this is an anime of Touhou-a series in which, by design, the plot takes a back seat to the combat-it seems particularly strange for significantly more time to be spent on plot and dialogue than the *main selling point of the series.*
Its called embodiment of the scarlet devil I think Search Remilia's theme should bring it up also while your on it search Sakuya's theme the fan base goes crazy remixing both
Yeah no. Eirin is one of the ancient founder of Lunar Capital. On top of that, she is also the mentor of Watatsuki no Yorihime and Watatsuki no Toyohime, whom none of the characters present in this scene can touch let alone beat (even including Yukari herself). And they think Eirin could be legitimately "defeated" like this? Nah, consider that spell card rule exist.
I don't think Eirin gives a shit about spell rules. And I also don't think the girls on Gensokyo follow them all the time. During the anime, Sakuya clearly tried to kill Reimu during their fight, Yuyuko clearly tried to kill Marisa, Utsuho was shooting lethal flame attacks at Cirno, and etc. In this very scene Eirin was fighting to the death and Marisa would have died have Sakuya not intervened. In terms of power I think Eirin is a 10/10 and she would not be defeated just like that BUT Reimu, Sakuya, Remilia and Marisa working TOGETHER definitely could beat her.
@@ReiLeo When I said spell card rules it's so Reimu and co. has a chance to "beat" Eirin. Otherwise, with bare force Eirin could easily obliterate them. Realistically, how could a group of humans and few youkai stand a chance against ancient and high-ranking deity from a land that's superior in everything (mostly)? I don't think Reimu could seriously beat Yukari, and Yukari was helpless when Toyohime legitimately threatened her life while Yorihime defeated Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya and Remilia simultaneously through sheer force without breaking a sweat in SSiB, and both of them still hold their teacher Eirin in high regard. So nah, without spellcard rules Eirin could just pull whatever spell on scale of creating fake moon to swoosh them and it's probably still only a fragment of her overall power. What's stopping her?
Tl;dr considering her status and scaling based on evidence, Eirin is most likely far leagues above any Gensokyo dweller (so far). Even if it's possible to withstand her by combining the strength of certain individuals, certainly not humans whose power are still limited in some way and youkai who aren't really remarkable in terms of strength. The only notable individuals on this side of opposition are Yukari and Yuyuko, and they didn't do much against Eirin's student. Even if they can topple Eirin somehow, certainly it wouldn't be as simple as this scene shows.
@@kovacaizek4691 Yeah, canonically Eirin was defeated, but it was under the spellcard rules and we didn't see how Eirin looks like after that. Most likely she was fine and probably congratulating whoever defeated her.
One particular observation I have to make here: just looking at the level of detail, polish, the smooth movement, and overall talent shown in this independent animation, then you look at the horrible recreations of missing "Dr Who" episodes. I have to wonder what feeble the BBC must have for their sorry substandard work. If, with all the resources the BBC can bring to bear, why are they so easily shown up by some independent project like this?
Yes! 10/10 quality. The only issue is each episode takes months to come out and the actual episode is too short (almost 50% are opening and ending). But well, at least we have it.
@@ReiLeo Sakuya just fighted not at full strength with Yorihime. She made this for Remi, so Remi can do battle with Yorihime. Remi itself noticed that in manga. And yeah. Yorihime's ability similar for Erza from Fairy Tail - for all situation she has useful gimmick. Cheap as hell...
Actually in the lore iirc it was one of Eirin's students that beat these 4 together (Yohirime?) If it was Eirin herself I think the four would be dead aside of Remilia maybe, cause she can come back from a single bat.
Reimu, Yukari and Remilia vs Eirin, Hecatia and Yohirime, it would be a hell of a fight but I think Sakuya would make all the difference manipulating time on Reimu's team favor.
I don't think you may sum Gensokyo just like that "everyone is just selfish". Most of them are good or just Neutral. I think the only one really evil is Kanako.
@@ReiLeo All of the incidents were started for selfish motives (9 was because someone didn't want to work but still), Kanako too, I don't know how what she did is evil compared to let's say Junko (who isn't evil either just wants revenge). Granted they aren't all selfish but most are, and good is hard to believe because even Byakuren had selfish motives to turn to budhism
Not exactly all of them are selfish, some are misguided like Shinmyoumaru or Kokoro, while some didn't even do anything wrong like Byakuren, Miko or Chimata. The selfishness at Byakuren level or higher aren't really something special, it is pretty humanly. And no, I don't think raising an entire war to find one single individual and probably killing/toture them afterward because of a sin that someone else commit after killing that guy is not evil. And how tf is Kanako evil? She is much better person than Remilia or Keiki. If anyone ask me about who is evil, my answer will be Kasen's arm, Parsee, Medicine, Junko, Seiga, maybe Seija, Keiki, Yachie, Saki, Toutetsu, Joon and of course, Mima.

Is there anything in spell card rules against booby traps? Because Sakuya would be just as vulnerable to a victim operated trap as anyone else.
@@ailius1520 Well thanks to Touhou's incredibly nutty power scaling, Sakuya could have reaction times faster than light while LOWBALLED, so you'd have to make it one hell of a surprise if you don't want her just immediately stopping time. Also she can straight up erase objects and people from timelines apparently so...yeah🤷
@@deltaedwards171 FR?!
@@ailius1520 there is a way to "trap" Sakuya with spellcard rules, just have her completely surrounded with bullets on all ends with no space to exit
Yorihime was actually able to beat her this way in Silent Sinner Blue (while operating within spellcard rules if my memory serves) after she realized that Sakuya isn't able to teleport
@@kn-jt9dj Yep! But as you said, that was within the spell card rules. According to Sakuya's profile and lore in some of the Touhou manga, Sakuya can erase objects from a timeline. So if you try to do that outside of a spell card battle...yeah, it probably wouldn't be the most effective way to defeat her😅
We stan Sakuya
One of the best Anime battles in history =)
eh, I think it should have gone on longer.
@@christopherbravo1813 I think it went on for the perfect amount of time, ESPECIALLY because ONE person made this.
@@10054 I get that, but considering that this is an anime of Touhou-a series in which, by design, the plot takes a back seat to the combat-it seems particularly strange for significantly more time to be spent on plot and dialogue than the *main selling point of the series.*

@@user-be4ic1ls2t well it was posted only half year ago.
@@ReiLeo AHHAHAHAH
Fun fact: this is the only one from the four Final Boss Battles involving M.C.s. Reimu and Marisa that doesn’t use the “The Gensokyo We Loved” theme.
かっこよすぎます…。
SAKUYA HOLDING REMILIA'S HAND MADE ME HAPPY
And can someone tell me the music on 2:24? I really like it
Its called embodiment of the scarlet devil I think Search Remilia's theme should bring it up also while your on it search Sakuya's theme the fan base goes crazy remixing both
better late than never!

all of them in this vid
I'm a simple person. When I see in Title or preview Sakuya's name, I watch the video until Sakuya appears.
The ultimate waifu.
@@ReiLeo Indeed.
pls no Dio brando ref
3:46 epic as fuck
Yeah no.
Eirin is one of the ancient founder of Lunar Capital. On top of that, she is also the mentor of Watatsuki no Yorihime and Watatsuki no Toyohime, whom none of the characters present in this scene can touch let alone beat (even including Yukari herself).
And they think Eirin could be legitimately "defeated" like this? Nah, consider that spell card rule exist.
I don't think Eirin gives a shit about spell rules. And I also don't think the girls on Gensokyo follow them all the time. During the anime, Sakuya clearly tried to kill Reimu during their fight, Yuyuko clearly tried to kill Marisa, Utsuho was shooting lethal flame attacks at Cirno, and etc. In this very scene Eirin was fighting to the death and Marisa would have died have Sakuya not intervened.
In terms of power I think Eirin is a 10/10 and she would not be defeated just like that BUT Reimu, Sakuya, Remilia and Marisa working TOGETHER definitely could beat her.
@@ReiLeo
When I said spell card rules it's so Reimu and co. has a chance to "beat" Eirin. Otherwise, with bare force Eirin could easily obliterate them.
Realistically, how could a group of humans and few youkai stand a chance against ancient and high-ranking deity from a land that's superior in everything (mostly)? I don't think Reimu could seriously beat Yukari, and Yukari was helpless when Toyohime legitimately threatened her life while Yorihime defeated Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya and Remilia simultaneously through sheer force without breaking a sweat in SSiB, and both of them still hold their teacher Eirin in high regard.
So nah, without spellcard rules Eirin could just pull whatever spell on scale of creating fake moon to swoosh them and it's probably still only a fragment of her overall power. What's stopping her?
Tl;dr considering her status and scaling based on evidence, Eirin is most likely far leagues above any Gensokyo dweller (so far). Even if it's possible to withstand her by combining the strength of certain individuals, certainly not humans whose power are still limited in some way and youkai who aren't really remarkable in terms of strength. The only notable individuals on this side of opposition are Yukari and Yuyuko, and they didn't do much against Eirin's student.
Even if they can topple Eirin somehow, certainly it wouldn't be as simple as this scene shows.
Buuuut we can defeat her in game with only two characters. It can't be more canon, than these games.
@@kovacaizek4691 Yeah, canonically Eirin was defeated, but it was under the spellcard rules and we didn't see how Eirin looks like after that. Most likely she was fine and probably congratulating whoever defeated her.
Eirin: *get in front of the moon*
Reimu, Marisa, sakuya, remilia: so.. you have.. chosen...HELL? AS UR CHOICE?
2022 still watching this... Am I alone?
Definitely not. After all the anime is still going.
@@ReiLeo 🤔... Really, I don't know touhou have anime
Just search for Memories of Phantasm. We have until ep 16, sadly the sequel was cancelled =/
Welp I wonder what the music at 2:24 is, cuz I’m addicted to it lol
th-cam.com/video/dUcHKas9Tgg/w-d-xo.html
It is a remixed version of Remilia's theme, Septtete for the Dead Princess.
Thanks guys
i really love my favorite touhou character is sakuya
Eirin's theme is so badass on this episode, goddamn
Eirin surely is tired. She doesn't want to help anymore.
While cool af, in the actual lore the four were beaten by one of Eirin's STUDENTS, not even her herself.
2:27 My time has come.
One particular observation I have to make here: just looking at the level of detail, polish, the smooth movement, and overall talent shown in this independent animation, then you look at the horrible recreations of missing "Dr Who" episodes. I have to wonder what feeble the BBC must have for their sorry substandard work. If, with all the resources the BBC can bring to bear, why are they so easily shown up by some independent project like this?
Yeah but the U.K. is some leftist shithole whereas weebs have actual pride.
what does mean dr who episodes
Sometimes I forget that this is a fan made anime
Yes! 10/10 quality. The only issue is each episode takes months to come out and the actual episode is too short (almost 50% are opening and ending). But well, at least we have it.
This is why Reims is deadly 4:03
i mean if you make enemies with Reimu,Marissa,Sakuya and Remilia combined its a quick death
Yeah it seems crazy but in the actual lore the four of them were beaten. And it was not even Eirin herself, but one of her students.
Man they did eirin bad, shes fucking badass in the actual game
Actually in the lore iirc it was one of Eirin's students that beat these 4 together (Yohirime?)
@@ReiLeo Sakuya just fighted not at full strength with Yorihime. She made this for Remi, so Remi can do battle with Yorihime. Remi itself noticed that in manga. And yeah. Yorihime's ability similar for Erza from Fairy Tail - for all situation she has useful gimmick. Cheap as hell...
@@RoronoaZoro-bq8vr damn I must read this part

As SakuMari shipper 2:22 best scene in all of touhou fan animes xD (interestingly it is "most replayed scene" of this video huh?
a vampire with loli look and a dio reference with a shrine maiden and a witch fuking deletes a space nurse from the existence
- The video
Well Eirin is much more than just a "space nurse" :P
Am I the only one who thought it was awesome that the vocal theme in the background was Septette for the Dead Princess?
looks like I'll be watching this again while playing Lost Word.
Word.
@@Lemuel928 thanks.
Rest in peace eirin...
eirin only used one spell
Yeah this fight in the anime is a fanservice (but very well animated though).
@@ReiLeo shows the power of the fandom, i always wondered what would an official touhou anime would look like
Been lookin for this one
Freaking love that voyage 1969 ost, is there a link for this version?

What is the name of bgm ? (Music of scene) ?
i finally understand why we need help from eirin
They don't need to change her attack pattern to make her a boss lmao
Actually in the lore iirc it was one of Eirin's students that beat these 4 together (Yohirime?)
If it was Eirin herself I think the four would be dead aside of Remilia maybe, cause she can come back from a single bat.
this fight was really cool imo, best part bout it the remilia and sakuya moment and the ost
What's the song name? I wanna know
Erm..may I ask the music name when Sakuya and Remilia appeared?
Go down some comments bellow, someone posted it somewhere.
Wait what happened midway? The voice actors' accents completely changed. Do the fans take turns voicing the characters every episode?
Imagine hecatia and yukari and yorihime is in that fight even okina😮
Reimu, Yukari and Remilia vs Eirin, Hecatia and Yohirime, it would be a hell of a fight but I think Sakuya would make all the difference manipulating time on Reimu's team favor.

I still don't like how they changed the characters personalities to make everyone more antagonistic even tho everyone in Gensokyo is just selfish
I don't think you may sum Gensokyo just like that "everyone is just selfish". Most of them are good or just Neutral. I think the only one really evil is Kanako.
@@ReiLeo All of the incidents were started for selfish motives (9 was because someone didn't want to work but still), Kanako too, I don't know how what she did is evil compared to let's say Junko (who isn't evil either just wants revenge).
Granted they aren't all selfish but most are, and good is hard to believe because even Byakuren had selfish motives to turn to budhism
Not exactly all of them are selfish, some are misguided like Shinmyoumaru or Kokoro, while some didn't even do anything wrong like Byakuren, Miko or Chimata. The selfishness at Byakuren level or higher aren't really something special, it is pretty humanly.
And no, I don't think raising an entire war to find one single individual and probably killing/toture them afterward because of a sin that someone else commit after killing that guy is not evil.
And how tf is Kanako evil? She is much better person than Remilia or Keiki. If anyone ask me about who is evil, my answer will be Kasen's arm, Parsee, Medicine, Junko, Seiga, maybe Seija, Keiki, Yachie, Saki, Toutetsu, Joon and of course, Mima.
1:55 She weaponized fractals!?
Why cant Marisa catch up when to Reimu when she’s faster than her in the games lmao
Speaking lore wise, Reimu is on another league.
Epic!
