** Actually in ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'' there are no day and night stage versions due to the weather system. When either (or [[MirrorMatch both]]) players choose Remilia, the match is played on one of the two indoor stages - Patchouli's Library or Scarlet Devil Mansion Foyer, with BGM for chosen stage playing. [[FridgeLogic Strangely]], Remilia can't fight on Iku's sea of clouds stage, even though it's dark and there's little to no sunlight (or visible weather effects) there. The situation gets even weirder in ''Hisoutensoku'', where Remi is allowed to fight on yet another stage without the aforementioned parasol card. Illogically, it's not Yuyuko's garden (turned into night stage in ''Hisoutensoku'' due to some bullets being hard to see with snow in the background in SWR). No, it's another indoor stage...a [[InsaneTrollLogic nuclear fusion reactor core!]] [[FlatWhat What?]]

*Komeiji Koishi embodies Lust in SA's "deadly sins" theme, and is infamous for her suggestively-shaped shots in "The Embers of Love". She also can't be remembered by anyone once they've stopped looking at her, and is apparently an "imaginary friend" afterward... what if she's a rapist? How would you know if she'd raped someone? How would you know if she'd raped ''you?'' I'd wager that there's a few too many people in Gensokyo who have vivid "dreams" about a certain white-haired someone in a green skirt.

*** I guess that if Reimu takes a while to have kids (she's still at her 15-20 years), like, at her early thirties, Yukari probably will have to 'remind' Reimu (a variation of MyBelovedSmother [[IWantGrandkids wanting grandkids]], [[JustifiedTrope justified]]) and forcing Reimu to find a (male) love interest (or just adopt a baby, but the first plot has more potential to be funny), to continue the Hakurei lineage or else Yukari will her drop at the nightmare dimension of ''FanFic/DiamondInTheRough'' (not as a DisproportionateRetribution but as an "incentive"[[note]]Notice the quotation marks[[/note]]).

* Tenshi's theme and apparent origin both reference Bhava-Agra, also known as Naivasaṃjñānāsaṃjñāyatana. Here's the wiki entry:
-->Naivasaṃjñānāsaṃjñāyatana or Nevasaññānāsaññāyatana (Tib: 'du shes med 'du shes med min) "Sphere of neither perception nor non-perception". In this sphere the formless beings have gone beyond a mere negation of perception and have attained a liminal state where they do not engage in "perception" (saṃjñā, recognition of particulars by their marks) but are not wholly unconscious. This was the sphere reached by Udraka Rāmaputra (Pāli: Uddaka Rāmaputta), the second of the Buddha's two teachers, who considered it equivalent to enlightenment.

Reimu does in fact call Kanako out in this, in the SA Extra Stage epilogue.


** Utsuho has an excuse though, since she was [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity driven temporarily mad by the power]] she was given. She wasn't a threat any more once sense was knocked back into her by the player character. The real problem comes with the person who made her this way, [[JerkassGods Kanako]], who originally intended to use her to create a power plant. While that goal in itself isn't really bad, it doesn't change the fact that the events of Subterranean Animism wouldn't have happened if she hadn't tried to turn Utsuho into a living nuclear battery, and she never gets called out for it.

* ZUN's observation that Sakuya Izayoi must be able to control space as well as time makes perfect sense, [[DidNotDoTheResearch even if his reasoning is highly suspect]]. Since her main power is freezing time, she'd have to be able to control space to do little things like [[RequiredSecondaryPowers move and breathe]] when time is stopped and everything else, including the air around her, is frozen in place. This also justifies her [[KnifeNut knife-filled]] {{Hammerspace}}.

Boundary of fantasy and reality is the quite clear example (and actually is observable in universe as the Hakurei Barrier), but this troper noticed another, more dangerous boundary: Boundary of real and false vacuum.
