History Funny / Touhou

* The first re-enactment story told by Kosuzu, acted out by members of Myorenji Temple. The ending is kind of sad, however, as the Tanuki in the story dies, while Mystia and Kyouko are punished as Toramaru puts up a sign stating "This story has no relation to Gensokyo's real Myorenji Temple".

* During the final boss fight, when the animal spirit and Keiki tries to persuade the heroines that the other one is evil, Reimu decides to side with the animal spirit due to her feeling an evil aura from Keiki, Marisa tries to interrogate them to see who is the one lying. Youmu, on the other hand, just switch back and forth from siding with the animal spirit to siding with Keiki, leaving both of them irritated of her indecisiveness (though it's beneficial on Keiki's side, since she's successfully stall enough time to unleash her sculpting art).

* Chapter 1, in which the faries infiltrate the Scarlet Devil Mansion and disguise themselves as maids. (In a later chapter, it turns out that Sakuya knew about it and tries to punish them for it.)

* The Scarlet Devil Mansion is hiring fairy maids! Though, if the employees' plastered on smiles are anything to go by, you should probably stay away.

** The Kitsune seems quite pleased that she fooledReimu. This is short-lived, as Reimu ties her up in the following chapter.

--> '''Marisa:''' ''[Waking up]'' Hey! Don't just kill me off in your heads! And seriously, who just buries someone where they lie, anyway?!\\
'''Mamizou:''' [[SarcasmMode Goodness! She just came back to life.]]

--->'''Dream Sign: "Duplex Barrier"''': I indirectly asked Reimu about it, but it was pointless. [[MagiBabble Apparently, a barrier is a border of things, and having a duplex barrier is equivalent to a world with no boundary. If you can find a gap in space hidden anywhere, you will be able to set the duplex barrier.]] In other words, she's bad at explaining things.
---> '''Holy Relic: "Ying-Yang Demon God Orb"''': A spell card where she throws a giant yin-yang orb that was [[{{Hammerspace}} tucked away somewhere]] at you. Unusually heavy lifting for Reimu. Getting hit by the yin-yang orb hurts. It hurts physically. All because it's an ordinary heavy, hard ball.

--->'''Sanae:''' True nuclear fusion isn't meant to power hot springs. It's meant to be used to establish a self-sustaining energy source. Do you know where Gensokyo's energy comes from?\\

** When Kasen finds a gold nugget in the Hakurei Shrine, she's more shocked by the fact that it's [[PerpetualPoverty there in the first place]] than the fact that vengeful spirits were swarming around it.
** Sanae imagines a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} certain electric mouse]] before Kasen reveals it is a raijuu.
** When Reimu and Marisa hear rumors of a fortune god blessing a soba shop after visiting it, they get some ideas. Until...
--->'''Marisa:''' (Happily) Maybe we can do a little '''kidnapping''', ah...?\\

** ANYTHING involving the nameless Kitsune who transforms into Marisa.
*** It all starts when a Kitsune joins one of Reimu's drinking parties, disguised as Marisa. Despite the shapeshift, Reimu still catches her red-handed after her hangover. Since all the Kitsune did was drink sake, she doesn't get exorcised. After thanking Reimu (even covering her identity from the real Marisa by transforming into Sanae), she offers Reimu a way to increase her popularity. Sure enough, the next day, Reimu's shrine has a huge number of visitors. As days pass, though, Reimu is completely exhausted. Luckily, Kasen discovers what's actually going on: It's thanks to the Kuda-gitsune ("tube-fox"), a type of fox youkai, and she's pissed that Reimu has sought help from a youkai for her personal profit. [[note]]The Kuda-gitsunes' effect is great since they use mind control on people, but in return, they drain Reimu's health and money as their numbers increase and they demand more food.[[/note]] Reimu confesses to her and Marisa about the Kitsune, but since she was completely tricked by her, Reimu gains nothing.
*** The Kitsune seems quite pleased that she fooled Reimu. This is short-lived, as Reimu ties her up in the following chapter.
** Chapter 11. Marisa attempts to go to Kasen's place to steal some stuff (after her first visit in the previous chapter), but ends up getting lost... until she encounters Kasen's pet tiger and [[TooDumbToLive attempts to steal it due to its rare pelt]].
*** "I don't think they're weak against psychological attacks." ''(Cue an image bubble of Kanako, Suwako, & Suika)'' [[note]]Marisa wishes to be a youkai, as she would heal faster, but Kasen reveals that, as a trade-off for losing her humanity, she will be weak against psychological attacks. This is Marisa's response.[[/note]]
** Chapter 12. The instant Reimu and Marisa learn what's the cause of the unusual water column in Genbu Ravine and how it actually isn't an incident nor does it concern them, they promptly leave without a fuss... leaving Nitori and the rest of the Kappa gang homeless at the roadside. Even several days after Seiga (the person the deathtrap was actually meant for) escapes, the Kappa are left just outside their hideout with no way in.
** Chapter 13. Never, EVER piss off [[TheDreaded Reimu]]. One of the Yamawaro tells Reimu [[TooDumbToLive to get lost]], since they're not bothering anyone when Reimu accuses them of being the culprits during their "survival war game". Sure, this is considered a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, but another Yamawaro is [[OhCrap shocked]] to see who her friend is talking to, thinking, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "Did you really say that to the shrine maiden?"]] At the end of the chapter, despite the problem being resolved, Reimu is still pissed about them apologizing not to her but to the victims, and she decides to go to war with them.
---> '''Reimu:''' I won't be satisfied until I've completely annihilated those lying bastards.\\

*** In one of the omake chapters in ''REX Magazine'', one of Nitori's friends decides to join the Yamawaro... only for Reimu to beat her up (as she is ''still'' mad), converting her back to a kappa.
** Chapter 14. The hobgoblin learns the meaning of fear after staying in Gensokyo for a few days.
** In chapter 16, Kasen brings a special drinking box and tells people that it can heal their wounds. Before she can explain the side effects, Marisa snatches and drinks from it.
---> '''Marisa:''' ''(Lifts Reimu)'' Look, I can pick you up without breaking a sweat! ''(Reimu [[DivingKick dive-kicks]] her)''
*** The next day, everyone who drinks from Kasen's special drinking box behaves like an oni. [[note]]Reimu starts acting grouchy at Sanae while Marisa loves to slap people for fun. Remilia and Sakuya bully Meiling, Youmu has enough of Yuyuko, Mystia and Kyouko are having a rock concert, and Yuuka causes trouble.[[/note]]
** Kasen happens upon Reimu and Byakuren about to have a duel. She starts cheering loudly for Reimu... before revealing that she's bet ''against'' her.
---> "Reimu always screws up when she gets cocky. There's no safer bet."
** Chapter 20. [[PaperThinDisguise Suika pretends to be one of the vendors]] during a festival. She assures Kasen that no one will recognize her — until Reimu comes in.

*** Funnily enough, Reimu gets drugged by accident in Chapter 16, hinting at Kasen's true identity.
** In chapter 21, Marisa wonders if there's anything special in the SDM's own version of the Setsubun festival. [[note]]The Setsubun festival is an event of good fortune where you eat (or scatter, in Reimu's interpretation) beans to supposedly drive out your inner demon / "oni", but since Remilia hates beans, she holds one without them.[[/note]] This consists of eating ''futomaki'' while facing east, which Sakuya flat-out states is meaningless, causing Marisa to FaceFault.
*** Before that, Kasen decides to visit Reimu, sees smoke, and wrongly assumes Reimu's in danger. In fact, she's actually cooking beans for the Setsubun festival. Kasen has an OhCrap moment and screams, confusing Reimu. Reimu even invites her to the festival. Komachi laughs out loud when Kasen tells her about it later that night.
** Chapter 22. Everyone thinks that the Kappa have seen and captured a ''manzairaku'', a rare fish of good fortune, due to its description, but it turns out to be a seal. The seal then starts playing with one of the kappa, causing another to whip out a light saber, just in case.
** Chapter 23. When Reimu neglects her duties to do fortune-telling instead (to great success), Kasen has a solution: Dress herself in Reimu's shrine maiden outfit.
*** Before that, Reimu cheerfully declares the gods ''are'' real after a brief, passing meeting with a lesser god, despite having personally beaten the crap out of at least three bigger deities (Sanae, Kanako, and Suwako) and, y'know, ''being a shrine maiden''. She then tells Kasen and Marisa that she's decided to use her powers to perform fortune-telling.
---> '''Marisa''': That hits you now?
---> '''Kasen''': (Sighs in disbelief) So what exactly have you been doing as a shrine maiden all this time?!
*** Reimu's success as a fortune teller is partly derived from her continuously dropping hints to visit the Hakurei Shrine with all the subtlety of a brick to the face. Kasen is puzzled by Reimu's sheer greed despite the fact she is, technically, doing her actual job as a shrine maiden. Unfortunately, the success of Reimu's part-time job results in her neglecting her duties at the shrine. This causes Kasen to take action by dressing as Reimu. Sanae's first reaction to the sight is to laugh at her. [[note]]A lot of fan-made artwork and doujin show characters like Marisa and Suika wearing Reimu's shrine maiden outfit, but Kasen is considered the first one (besides Reimu) to do so in canon.[[/note]]
*** As a result, Reimu's temple becomes overrun by youkai, drastically reducing her popularity as a fortune teller. Reimu blames Kasen, but Kasen adds more insult to injury by showing how Reimu's shrine has been marked as a hangout spot for youkai...including Seija Kijin, whom much of the Touhou cast hates for being a prankster. Thoroughly upset, Reimu gets a wake-up call to her true purpose, and the gathering gets cancelled.
** Chapter 25. After witnessing one of Sanae's "shady sermons", Marisa wanders off, musing Reimu's moneymaking schemes would be both shadier and dumber, specifically imagining her selling air tubes. Cut to Kasen walking in on Reimu preparing to do exactly that.
** Chapter 27. How Reimu pays [[ButtMonkey Kogasa Tatara]] for fixing her needles.
*** Marisa asks if she can keep Reimu's used needles, noting that they have a history. This is accompanied by a panel full of several Touhou bosses, all bandaged after being struck with the needles.

* The game features Reimu, Cirno, Aya, and Marisa as the playable characters. Reimu, Marisa, and Aya's scenarios are all relatively serious, each dealing with the incident of the seasons gone haywire. Cirno's scenario involves her going berserk with power and [[VillainProtagonist trying to take over Gensokyo]], while still [[HotBlooded being]] [[TheDitz Cirno]]. This entails her going around picking fights with people to show off her power, while being oblivious to the events surrounding her and generally airheaded, making her story a bit more of a joke compared to the other playable girls'.

* After a level with Ran and Utsuho, Sumireko doubt that anyone would like pictures of a crow and a fox. Just then, a social media group called "[[PopularWithFurries The Fluffy Fur Patrol]]" starts bringing traffic to them.

* Doremy somehow managed to trademark the word "sweet" for use in her pillow.

** Yukari chastises Mamizou for telling a story people can't relate to, [[HypocriticalHumor then tells one about thinking she'd lost her arm in her sleep, only to realize she'd left a gap open to across the room]].

* Some of Sumireko's hashtags are amusing. These include [="#InPlainSightlol", "#HyperColorfullol", and "#DontThrowBlades!(ง｀ω´)6"=] (yes, really).

'''Marisa:''' ...Oh.

** After getting shocked and dumbfounded, Kosuzu quickly heads to Reimu to tell her what happened and to seek her advice. Reimu pretends to be shocked about it, but her mind shows DullSurprise thinking "A tengu, huh? It's ''her'' isn't it?", automatically knowing the tengu is Aya. After realizing Aya's intentions [[note]]This even adds into Aya's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome list, being the first youkai to reveal her identity, even knowing full well about Kosuzu and Suzunaan's reputation[[/note]] based on Kosuzu's story, Reimu realizes she has no choice but to let Aya sell newspapers in Suzunaan, so she angrily yields.

--> '''Aya:''' ''(Wears her [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokin tokin]])'' [[BrutalHonesty I'm actually a tengu!]] Surprise?

--->'''Reimu''': [[ManipulativeBastard THOSE TENGU ARE SUCH CRAFTY BASTARDS!!!]]

-->'''Narumi:''' Hee hee, the last danmaku was just laying the groundwork for this next one. My pet fireball was spreading living bullets all over the ground. A never-before-see firework that shoots up from the audience! No surprise can match this!\\

'''Sumireko:''' So the pet from earlier was spreading all these fire seeds, huh? She's a pretty good schemer, if she could fool even the judges.\\\
