History WMG / Touhou

[[WMG:There are three characters who could [[MemeticMolester molest others]] [[BiTheWay of either sex]] from afar.]]

* In ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature'', the player characters have to take down a takeover of the surface world from Hell by animal spirits, and Youmu's there because she's half-ghost, and therefore knowledgable about spirits. It also helps that Youmu's Hakurouken can send these spirits to nirvana as well.

Gensokyo was never meant to be a permanent solution to the growing lack of belief in the fantastic in the outside world. Consider that canonically, the Hakurei Barrier has only existed since 1885. Now consider how relatively small an area Gensokyo is. It's in Japan, which is itself not a particularly large country. Gensokyo is probably only a few hundred square miles large, if that. The more long-lived residents of Gensokyo are already starting to get restless from the confinement, as shown by the fairly frequent incidents that Reimu has to deal with. Yukari planned this from the beginning, and has further plans for when Gensokyo can no longer stand as it is.

* PettingZooPeople with no other hats (e.g. Tewi Inaba, Yuugi Hoshiguma); this is probably justified in that they're like [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Felicia]], who has strategically-placed fur-patches.

Urban Legend in Limbo had a PS4 version and the presence of the Doujin game ''Kobuto'' on the Switch is proof that Touhou isn't PC and PS4 exclusive.

** Also, the two of them, along with Yuuka, were the very first patients of the hospital. Because they didn't have much company, they started to make some imaginary "friends" that they could fight with (well, there was Yuuka, but the caretakers thought it was better not to let them in contact with her. Not that they succeded, of course), along with recurring character Mima who Marisa claimed was her teacher and that Reimu could never defeat her (thus their rivalry). Eventually, more patients ended up in the hospital, thus there was no need for any imaginary friends when the girls finally had someone to interact with(thus explaining why the PC98-era is {{Retgone}}).

*** Not so, the games are set in the near future in the Outside World, as explained in the music compilation CDs Mary has visited Gensoukyou several times during Incidents that run concurrent to the story. iP*ds would be as out of place as 56k modems are now when you consider they live in a world with foldable screens for newspapers and robots as servers at cafés.

* Alternatively, Gensokyo is what happens in Reimu's mind, when she's playing with her dolls. She actually has a huge collection of victorian-dress dolls and decides to play with them, since their battles are non-lethal and it explains why everyone drinks tea after, she must've read books on Japanese folklore, every doll has a personality and it would explain the lack of men, since there are few male dolls and she's in the phase in which she must think that boys have cooties. As would say Spongebob, "Imagination!"

[[WMG: No one is fooled by Kasen's hermit disguise. Reimu chooses not to out her so she can feign ignorance and do nothing about it.]]
* Reimu has impeccable instincts. She can tell whether someone's the true final boss or not just by feeling, and she can tell the direction that trouble is coming from without any clues.
* Reimu responds to Kasen's lie about the true origin of Setsubun with "That kinda makes sense! I'll buy it!" Reimu's lies are always blatant and terrible, so she all but outright states that she's choosing to believe a lie.
* Kasen's lies are just as terrible, and she clearly has no poker face.
* Chapter 24 is a big turning point where Kasen realizes the Reimu and Marisa have good detective abilities. Despite this, Reimu and Marisa let her off the hook despite a paper-thin alibi.
* Given that the intro subtitles start out haughty and condescending, then slowly turn into normal subtitles, WAHH is likely written from Kasen's point of view, and in her PoV, she starts out thinking everyone else is an idiot, then ''she'' slowly learns to respect ''them'' despite setting out to do the opposite.
** The others' apparent competence level has slowly risen with time.
** The characters are depicted as much more competent in other canon works.
** This isn't due to them getting smarter, but Kasen slowly realizing they're not (total) idiots.
** Kasen's arrogance is the only thing that's kept her from realizing she outed herself a long time ago.
* Reimu is sometimes kind and merciful to Youkai she likes (which is why the youkai characters aren't sealed away when defeated, and she allows them to party at her place after every incident), but above all else, she is lazy. If she outed Kasen, not only would she be crushing Kasen's dreams of being closer to humans, she'd probably have to make a show of doing something about it to appease the now-fearful village humans.
** Also, Kasen's BlatantLies are hilarious.

** Also, Kasen's [[BlatantLies]] are hilarious.
