** Also also, if you enter a ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' character for a profile name, the game will delete all difficulty levels and and force a download of a new level: Level 9. In Level 9, the plot is [[Memes/{{Touhou}} hijacked]] by ''Touhou'' and the game consists of the Plus and Minus teams allying up to take back their fictional universe. All of the art is now done by ZUN, all methods of input other than keyboard become disabled[[note]]attempts to use [=Joy2Key=] or other similar getaround programs will trigger a [[http://www.arcadecollecting.com/dead/dead.html suicide battery]] (arcade version), format of the player's C: drive (PC version), or a warranty-proof crash (console versions)[[/note]], and the gameplay totals up to 5 minutes of spellcards, as the gameplay is punctuated by excessive {{Unskippable Cutscene}}s consisting almost purely of ''Touhou'' memes. If you beat the game, and you used only 1 credit, the Plus-Minus Alliance and Yukari Yakumo sign the Fuck Off Treaty, in which they swear to leave each others' universes alone. Use more than one credit, however, and Ran makes a bunch of Chen clones, and all the Plus and Minus characters get Chen-hugged until they die from cuteness overload.

* TakeThat: The Stage 4+ boss, a 16-year-old who owns a HumongousMecha: "[[MediumAwareness What kind of boss]] uses [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} silly magical cards]] to attack? Real women use a mecha!"

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The nonexistent {{leitmotif}}s and stage music for the Plus Team, composed by a potpurri of shooting game soundtrack composers: [[VideoGame/RayForce Tamayo Kawamoto]], [[VideoGame/ThunderForce Hyakutaro Tsukumo]], [[VideoGame/BattleGaregga Manabu]] [[VideoGame/DonPachi Namiki]], and Shinji Hosoe. Quite possibly the best 2D shooter music you'll never hear.

--> "Look, if you're gonna burn up [[spoiler:my town]], ''get a real game soundtrack, please.''"

Quite possibly the best 2D shooter music you'll never hear.

** Also, your rank percentage, similar to ''RayCrisis''[='=]s Encroachment Meter, but inverted (100% is maximum, 0% is mininum). The starting rank for each difficulty is: Casual - 0% (never goes up, however), Easy - 30%, Normal - 50%, Hard - 70%, Another - 0% (but it rises much faster and falls much slower, and dying will ''increase'' the rank instead of lowering it).

** Stage 4-'s boss is called "Strut Lut," a jab at a ''RayCrisis'' boss who was renamed from [[AccidentalInnuendo "Sem-Slut"]] to "Sem-Strut" in the American version.

** [[spoiler:{{Yandere}}: She's +01's StalkerWithACrush. The battle is significantly harder if you are playing 1-player as +01. Not only that, but your continues become disabled, and if you lose all your lives, it's implied that she does...''[[ThisAndThat things]]''...[[RapeAsDrama to him]].]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The nonexistent {{leitmotif}}s and stage music for the Plus Team, composed by a potpurri of shooting game soundtrack composers: [[RayForce Tamayo Kawamoto]], [[ThunderForce Hyakutaro Tsukumo]], [[VideoGame/BattleGaregga Manabu]] [[VideoGame/DonPachi Namiki]], and Shinji Hosoe. Quite possibly the best 2D shooter music you'll never hear.

** When the game starts, hold A and C. If you're playing as the Plus Team, your CO [[ThunderForce says the Stage 1+ name in Tangut]]. If you're playing as the Minus Team, your CO says "Ready, go!" in the exact same inflection as ''Tetris: The Grand Master''[='=]s "Ready, go!" voice.

* PortingDisaster: A SuperNES {{fan|Dumb}}boy, thinking that everything's more awesome with the SNES, decided to make a homebrew SNES port of the game. Tropers/{{TsundeRay}} shot him in the face. With white [[spoiler:wine]].

* JapanesePronouns: In the Japanese dub, +01 is the only male to use ''watashi'' (a standard first-person pronoun, sometimes associated with femininity). He's called out by -04 and called a girly man for it. (In the English dub, which has no room for this issue, his {{moe}}ness is poked fun at instead.)

* MisaimedFandom: According to WordOfGod, [[CuteAndPsycho the Stage 1+ boss]] is supposed to be FanDisservice for even the biggest Yangire and {{Yandere}} fans. [[FetishFuel It failed.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Japanese dub:
*** The Plus Team's CO is the ''ThunderForce VI'' female announcer after having taken Japanese lessons.
*** [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hauuuuuu!]] +05 wants to [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe TAKE YOU HOME WITH HER!]]
** English dub:
*** -02 is [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Bubbles]].
*** +02: [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami]] on happy pills.

*** -02 is [[SpongeBobSquarePants Bubbles]].

* ArcWords: "[[KingOfTheHill Strickland...propane...]]"

* ShoutOut: One of the achievements is called "False Iffy Curry." It is obtained by exceeding [[RaidenFighters 100,000,000 points]]. Doing so causes your CO to shout "You cheater! Only Japanese pilots can do that!"

The game offers an arcade mode, in which you must clear 7 stages to finish the game. The console ports also have a story mode, which plays more like ''{{Tyrian}}'' and offers a more thorough plotline, many stages spread out over muliple chapters, and upgradable ships.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The [[TrueFinalBoss Stage 0 endboss]], once down to his last lifebar, [[spoiler:slashes his wrists open, causing [[HighPressureBlood blood to gush out]] and his HP to drain out. He's given up and is going emo, right? Wrong. Tthe blood ''turns into [[BulletHell bullets]]'', and he transforms into an EldritchAbomination, and his lifebar ''refills completely.'']]

'''Desu Shi''' (デス死, lit. "Death Death") is an arcade [[strike:ShootEmUp]] [[strike:{{shmup}}]] shooting game that does not exist. (Or it might someday, due to TsundeRay being a computer science major.).
