''Suikakasen'' is a FilmComic created by Joyful (ジョイフル氏 ) of Website/NicoNicoDouga, also known for creating Fanfic/OsanaReimu. While some elements have become victim to OutdatedByCanon, it generally sticks close to the information provided or implied by official Franchise/{{Touhou}} materials. It takes inspiration from various games, but it provides most of its credit to Manga/TouhouIbarakasenWildAndHornedHermit.

Thousands of years ago, the {{Oni}} Suika encountered a starving little girl waiting for her mother, and offered her the Ibaraki Box of a Hundred Medicines to heal her wounds and gain eternal life to get another chance to see her parent. That girl grew up to become the oni Kasen Ibaraki, and lived with the other oni until they were all poisoned and had to go into hiding after losing a rough battle. Kasen had [[AnArmAndALeg her arm cut off]] during the fight, and upon arriving at the gate Rajoumon where her severed arm might be stored, [[SomeKindOfForceField finds that she cannot enter]]. A nearby poet named Yoshika mistakes Kasen for a hermit and wants to be taught her ways. Kasen sees this as an opportunity to get assistance for retrieving her arm, and both of their lives change from there...

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Seiga says that she will ask the reikon to make Yoshika a hermit one last time and arrives back with some medicine. How nice of her! [[spoiler:No wait, it's poison. And [[EvilIsPetty Seiga laughs at Yoshika's goals]]. [[ReforgedIntoAMinion And then turns her into a jiang shi.]]]]



* LossOfIdentity: Between the Box of a Hundred Medicines turning Kasen into an oni and her arm being cut off (an arm can be considered someone's power), she's unsure about if she's really an oni or a human. Yoshika points out that if she's unsure about who she is, she could just become a hermit together with her.



* MoralityPet: Kasen wasn't exactly evil before she met Yoshika, but she was part of a group of bandits. Once Kasen realizes that this trope is in action, she attempts to kill Yoshika so that she can get rid of the last traces of her humanity, but stops once Yoshika (who's completely unaware of Kasen's intentions by this point) makes it clear [[MortalityPhobia how much she fears her own death]] and Kasen [[HeelRealization realizes how much she toyed with Yoshika's emotions]].
* MortalityPhobia: Yoshika's reason for wanting to become a hermit is because she is very, very scared of dying. Kasen was going to kill her initially, but reconsiders once Yoshika makes this fear very clear. [[spoiler:She's willing to believe "fairy-tales" like hermits because she's dying of a SoapOperaDisease. After being rejected by the reikon, she ([[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter wrongly]]) puts her trust in Seiga. She seems to have finally gotten over her fear by the end though because she [[GoOutWithASmile dies smiling]].]]

-->-- '''Yoshika'''



Thousands of years ago, the {{Oni}} Suika encountered a starving little girl waiting for her mother, and offered her the Ibaraki Box of a Hundred Medicines to heal her wounds and gain eternal life to get another chance to see her parent. That girl grew up to become the oni Kasen Ibaraki, and lived with the other oni until they were all poisoned and had to go into hiding after losing a rough battle. Kasen had [[AnArmAndALeg her arm cut off]] during the fight, and upon arriving at a site (Rajoumon) where her severed arm might be stored, [[SomeKindOfForceField finds that she cannot enter]]. A nearby poet named Yoshika mistakes Kasen for a hermit and wants to be taught her ways. Kasen sees this as an opportunity to get assistance for retrieving her arm, and both of their lives change from there...

''Suikakasen'' is a FilmComic created by Joyful (ジョイフル氏 ) of Website/NicoNicoDouga, also known for creating Fanfic/OsanaReimu. Like that series, it sticks close to Franchise/{{Touhou}} canon. It is primarily based off of Manga/TouhouIbarakasenWildAndHornedHermit.

Kasen had [[AnArmAndALeg her arm cut off]] during the battle, and upon arriving at the site where her severed arm is stored, she encounters a poet named Yoshika, who believes that Kasen is a hermit and asks her for help...

The full series with English subtitles [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSGp1USZquA&list=PLcjM82BQOJdxumNgOfvmyx6wHPBxeXL2V is available]] on Website/YouTube.
