Recap / Fantasy Kaleidoscope E 2

Tropes for "The Red Mist Incident, Part 1" include:

• Big Fancy House: The Scarlet Devil Mansion is depicted here as looking exactly like the Château Frontenac with the Elizabeth Tower grafted onto it.
• Brought Down to Normal: Utsuho, as she's seen partying at the Moriya shrine following the events of Subterranean Animism with her wings shrunken down and her third leg not present on her right arm.
• The Cameo: Over 30 Touhou characters are visible at the Moriya shrine.
• Creepy Child: Flandre, who asks Marisa to play with her because she always breaks her toys. To drive it even further home, she squeezes her teddy bear so hard that its head bursts.
• Fangirl: What Koakuma is portrayed as towards Patchouli.
• Framing Device: Marisa is retelling the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil to Sanae while everyone is partying at the Moriya shrine after Subterranean Animism.
• Laughing Mad: Flandre when Marisa agrees to play with her.
• Lip Lock: Fandubs make it quite noticeable that dialogue isn't paced alongside the animation. Cirno's rant after being brushed aside by Marisa, in particular, stands out for being rushed.
• Little Miss Snarker: With the setting being post-Subterranean Animism, Nitori is in top form.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Her remark about the Moriyas constantly causing incidents gets her punted through the roof by Kanako.
• Madwoman in the Attic: Flandre, naturally in the basement. This adaptation expands on it.
• An Odd Place to Sleep: Flandre sleeps in a coffin that's placed on a bed—that is, if she were present.
• Red Sky, Take Warning: Created as part of Remilia's plan.
• Repeat Cut: As Marisa presents her mini-Hakkero to Patchouli.
• Small Name, Big Ego:
  • Cirno repeatedly boasts about her power to Marisa before Marisa flies to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, only to get ignored at every opportunity.
  • Patchouli plans on cutting Marisa's ego down to size after Marisa boasts that normal humans can use magic too and that she'll exterminate the lot of them by herself.
• Something about a Rose: A rose motif frequently appears as decoration in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, including the lid of Flandre's coffin.
• Spanner in the Works: Marisa proves to be a minor one to the Scarlet Devil Mansion crew, as she forces Patchouli out to subdue Flandre.
• Stalker without a Crush: Reimu is apparently sharp enough to know when she's being spied on by Yukari, who wants to party with the rest, but isn't comfortable around Satori.
