* ViewerNameConfusion: The "C" in "Celeritas", Lumen's surname, is pronounced like a "K" (made more explicit in the katakana spelling, ケレリタス "Kereritasu"). Many fans either aren't aware or willingly disregard it and pronounce it like an "S".

"Designated Hero" only applies when the character isn't heroic but the story still expects us to see them that way.


* DesignatedHero:
** Canonically, Tsubakura tends to be more... cavalier than one might hope from the hero. Justified, since they were taken to a strange world and designated as the hero without their consent.
** Yabusame is not really any better either, though they have the benefit of not being as rude as Tsubakura and more into ComedicSociopathy.
** Kuroji is falling into this since ''Reactivate Majestical Imperial'' due to {{Flanderization}} of being TheBarnum and other KickTheDog moments.

** In an interview, [=JynX=] mentions that Kuroji's reversing ability would be useful for flipping hamburgers. If you look in the Scoundrel Team's Haze Route from ''Brilliant pagoda or haze castle'', it's canon.

** An interesting case is Shion's final spell in ''Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle'', モノクロム・霊, which is a pun on Tsubakura's SignatureMove Monochrome Ray (モノクロムレイ). モノクロム is just "monochrome" in katakana, while both 霊 and レイ are read as "rei", but the former means "spirit" or "soul". The pun was preserved in English by translating Shion's spell as "Monochrome Wraith", where "wraith" sounds slightly similar to "ray" while still being a term referring to a spirit.

* TransAudienceInterpretation: The fact that JynX intentionally leaves almost every character's gender [[AmbiguousGender ambiguous]] has led to several fans interpreting the various characters as Genderfluid, Non-binary, Agender and other identities under the Trans umbrella.

** ''Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle'' features {{Roguelike}}-inspired elements, distancing itself a bit more from the series's ''[[Franchise/TouhouProject Touhou]]'' inspirations... and then almost 6 years later ''[[VideoGame/BlackMarketOfBulletphiliaOneHundredthBlackMarket 100th Black Market]]'', a ''Touhou'' game with its own Roguelike elements, comes out.

* MoralEventHorizon: If their actions during ''Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle'' weren't already enough, then Suzune admitting that they made their BatmanGambit against Tsubakura so convoluted was because it would be more fun for themself is what does it.

** Hooaka in particular often gets interpreted as Bigender, especially since in ''Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle'' it was mentioned that they have two souls (albeit what that exactly means has yet to be elaborated on).

** The series' creator and the Len'en Project itself can count as one. Originally [=JynX=] was mostly known for their work on teaser videos of Touhou PC-98 remakes, with Len'en considered mostly their side projects inspired by Touhou. Now the series is considered by many on par with the Touhou series, some even enjoying Len'en more.
