* InterfaceScrew: Certain enemies, bosses and dungeons have ways to do this.
** Mystia copies have a chance to erase your current map progress on a floor when they attack, along with a chance to ''utterly and completely blind your screen'' for a couple turns.
** Hallucinate traps, represented by Udonge, will replace all items, objects and enemies with [[https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Yukkuri_shiteitte_ne! Yukkuri.]]
** The dungeon that leads to Flandre's boss battle in ''The King of Fairies'' has an effect where many items on the ground will be unidentified or misleading in name and description.



* InvisibleMonsters: Some enemies can turn invisible through certain means to attack you. Nitori copies in particular are usually cloaked and like to spam missile attacks while hidden.
* MarathonLevel: Every dungeon in this. It can take at least 1-2 hours to get through most story dungeons and the post-game dungeons are even longer. It doesn't helps that if you die, you have to start over from the 1st floor, losing a few hours of progress.

** Clownpiece specializes in this in her boss battle in ''The King of Fairies'', and it can be a real sucker punch for those not expecting it. Upon starting the fight she'll use her ability to try and drive both you and your partner insane. And given how your partner has no other targets other than you nearby (and is likely holding upgraded weapons and armor), expected to suddenly receive a hard thwack or several from your own ally. Luckily, this can be cancelled out by bringing any item that can nullify insanity from occuring.



** Also occurs in the end of ''The Bullet Reporter'' - [[ItMakesSenseInContext Nitori is reaping the profits of the grand opening of Nazrinland when the giant plant-beast suddenly appears and threatens the whole park]]. Nitori concludes that this is the end and instantly activates the parks nuclear self destruct sequence. The closing credits are Aya and Kisume (and various other characters) fleeing from the incoming blast.

to:

* CharacterExaggeration: Futo's [[FantasticRacism hatred of Yokai]] and pyromania are significantly amped up here, and mostly PlayedForLaughs. She's also significantly much more childlike in attitude.
** In terms of appearance, just about everyone wearing a hat or headwear had it double, or even tripled in size. Notable examples are Reimu's gigantic bow and Suwako's wide-brimmed hat.



* DayInTheLimelight: Most of the DLC side-stories put the main story (and Reimu) aside for new protagonists. These are:
** Marisa and Alice in ''The King of Fairies.''
** Aya and Momiji in ''The Bullet Reporter.''
** Futo and Tojiko in ''The Seven Trials.''
** Sanae and Suwako in ''Miracle Ambitions.''
** Sakuya and Reimu in ''Clock Remains.''



** In the side story ''The King of Fairies'', Clownpiece is the one responsible for messing with the tree's magical, memory stealing properties, and Marisa and Alice have to beat her down. As soon as they leave, [[PersonOfMassDestruction Flandre Scarlet]] suddenly teleports in to sabotage the tree even harder than Clownpiece, becoming the true FinalBoss of the story.



* EmbarrassingDampSheets: Mentioned in the Satori / Hina introductory cutscene, where Satori blames Rin and Utsohu for making some wet 'accidents' when they sleep in the same bed as her. As it turns out, Satori is really the source.



* HereWeGoAgain: The entire plotline of ''The Seven Trials'' was because Futo destroyed the bathtub while training and kept antagonizing Tojiko, banishing her to the basement for hard-training and punishment. Almost instantly as soon as she comes out, she destroys the bath again and is banished once more.



** Also occurs in the end of ''The Bullet Reporter'' - [[ItMakesSenseInContext Nitori is reaping the profits of the grand opening of Nazrinland when the giant plant-beast suddenly appears and threatens the whole park]]. Nitori concludes that this is the end and instantly activates the parks nuclear self destruct sequence.

* ShockAndAwe: Tojiko copies, and the actual Tojiko party member, make extensive use of electric projectiles to fight. A RunningGag in ''The Seven Trials'' has Futo [[BullyingADragon irritating Tojiko like an annoying little sister]] and getting painfully electrocuted for it.



* SummonMagic: The main draw of the DLC characters Alice and Rei'sen. The former of which can summon dolls to help her, the latter can summon a single mecha-rabbit to the fight.



* TooLongDidntDub: There's a lot of japanese dialogue, and none of it was re-dubbed.

** On another note, certain weapons can invoke this too. For instance, the final form of the Gourd Plant has you swing Suika around, or the Baked Little Sister lets you do this with a burnt version of Minoriko.



* InfinityPlusOneSword: Yorihime's Sword is a RareRandomDrop from her and cannot be crafted otherwise.

to:

* InfinityMinusOneSword: In stark contrast to the InfinityPlusOneSword below, the somewhat uncommon Sword of Courage (which can also be crafted) comes with the extremely useful Hisou ability (After attacking a target, it stores their species and deals extra damage to everything of that species) from the word go. The only real difficulty in obtaining it is that it requires the rare Sage Fruit to craft.

* ItemCrafting: And HOW! "Nito Fusion" is a device that let's anyone Nitori gives it to fuse, mix, create, appraise, dismantle and meld items; each feature separately added throughout the game.

to:

** The TRUE Infinity +1 Sword is the Moonlight Ruin Greatsword. In order to obtain it, you must craft it, the materials of which include the rare Moon Rabbit Doll and the aforementioned Yorihime's Sword (On top of that, the Sword has to be levelled to a specific degree- too much, and the sword will change form and become unusable for a Moonlight Ruin Greatsword). In turn, however, it comes with some of the most spectacularly powerful innate abilities in the game, including ignoring 55% of a target's defense, preventing melee attacks from missing under normal circumstances at the cost of only a small amount of lost damage, and making all melee attacks [[DeathofAThousandCuts hit 11 times, the most of any weapon that grants multi-hit capabilities.]]
* ItemCrafting: And HOW! "Nito Fusion" is a device that let's lets anyone Nitori gives it to (Or in the case of Futo, finds it) fuse, mix, create, appraise, dismantle and meld items; each feature separately added throughout the game.

** Yuuka copies. She normally doesn't attack you and left you in peace. But as soon as you step on a flower or attack her first, she will be enraged and starts chasing you and you soon figured out why she's considered TheDreaded. She is insanely tough to kill, blocks danmaku attacks, hits incredibly hard and always inflict critical. You probably won't even last 2 turns facing her without preparation or luck.

* GrievousHarmWithABody: Yuugi copies can uppercut their enemies hard enough to punt them into hazards like traps. If there are no nearby hazards, they'll settle for throwing them at a live target to deal damage to both of them. [[DisasterDominoes This can easily spiral out of control if you're on a floor with multiple Yuugi copies]], where they'll chain together many consecutive uppercuts to blow you away someplace terrible.



* ImprobableWeaponUser: Bizarre weapons and items tend to come up often as a result of item progression. Notable examples include: A miniature and sleeping Wakasagi, a body pillow with Kanako on it, Alice's various dolls (Tewi, Cirno, etc.), Undonge's detached ears, and a banana.

Added DiffLines:

* TrapMaster: Tewi copies will rarely attack directly, instead preferring to run at high speeds while setting up traps all over the floor. Stepping on 'Trap Trap', represented by Tewi, increases the amount of traps on the floor by a significant amount.
* TurnsRed: Copies can level up and gain a massive increase in strength if they kill another copy, or if Youmu's phantom-half fuses with a nearby enemy. They'll be worth a lot more experience, but it may get unprepared players killed depending on just who gets powered up and when.
** Yuuka copies are normally passive and wander aimlessly setting up flower beds. If you step on the flowers, or perform ''any'' sort of offensive action towards them (even non-damaging attacks count), then they will become enraged and chase you down with enhanced strength and durability.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Bosses tend to come off like this, especially in the harder dungeons, where you find yourself spending more time trying to keep yourself from dying than actually attacking.
** Flandre in the "King of Fairies" story is a perfect example of this, particularly her second phase. To defeat it, you have to shut down the glowing red orbs on either side of her, then attack her directly. The onslaught of EliteMook attacks on the way there would make this hard enough, but should you actually manage to get anywhere close to her or the orbs, she'll unleash her Destruction Beam and blow you back several spaces while taking a huge chunk out of your health. Worse still, she instantly cancels any buff you put on yourself, making buffs utterly pointless. Hope you didn't waste all your best spell cards on the first phase.
