* Most of Koishi's spellcards in ''Hopeless Masquerade'' have her being impulsive and careless as normal, except for one: "Suppression: 'Super-Ego'", where she slips into a TroubledFetalPosition. Why is this? Well, think about Koishi's backstory for a second: she closed her Third Eye so she wouldn't have to read minds anymore, but this also made her unable to think rationally. In other words, ''she's suppressing her super-ego''; the spellcard is a reference to her origins, and during the spellcard it's almost as if she's trying to force her super-ego back down. Indeed, the sudden reemergence of all those suppressed emotions [[MySkullRunnethOver is not going]] [[HopeIsScary to be pleasant]]. [=-SLthePyro=]

* The Aki sisters being...sisters makes even more sense when you realize their domains are the same thing, but for different species. It's not just autumn. Why do leaves turn brown? The tree is harvesting the nutrients into their trunks for storage for the winter; just like how people harvest crops and store them. (A feast was one of the ways ancient people stored food; eat a lot of it in case storage goes bad then you've got fat for the winter, if nothing else.) Shizuha would get more respect if there were "tree" based youkai or dryads in Gensokyo. (Flower-based Youkai like Yuuka don't care; plus sunflowers are annual, they only live one year, so surviving the winter is not an issue; it's their seeds that come up the next spring.)

Reimu's shot types are either {{Spread Shot}}s or homing shots, two shot types that allow the player to strike everywhere with minimal movement and effort. She's also slow, to balance out her property of being able to hit most of the screen while staying in one place. Marisa's shot types are more linear and precise.
