4''Double Spoiler ~ Touhou Bunkachou'' is a video game created by Team Shanghai Alice for Windows computers in 2010. It's [[GaidenGame the 12.5th videogame installment]] in the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' franchise, and a sequel to ''VideoGame/TouhouBunkachouShootTheBullet''.

6Aya Shameimaru travels Gensokyo [[FirstPersonSnapshooter with her camera]] once again, searching for material to include in her newspaper, the Bunbunmaru. But this time another {{tengu}}, Hatate Himekaidou, has descended from Youkai Mountain, trying to figure out what an old bat like Aya has that her own "Kakashi Spirit News" is missing.

8The game [[MissionPackSequel feels like an expansion pack to]] the previous "danmaku photography game", since it features similar gameplay but draws on bosses from newer games in the series. For [[SpiritualSuccessor followups]], see ''VideoGame/DanmakuAmanojakuImpossibleSpellCard '' and ''VideoGame/HifuuNightmareDiaryVioletDetector''.

12!!This game provides examples of:
13* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Clearing all of [[FinalBoss Hatate's scenes]] unlocks her as a PlayerCharacter, who has different comments for each Spell Card and faces Aya as her FinalBoss.
14%%* AWinnerIsYou:
15%%-->''([[NintendoHard after completing everything]])'' You are Super Player!
16* DefeatMeansPlayable: After clearing all of the scenes against Hatate, she becomes the player character against Aya. From there, Hatate becomes playable in all previous scenes in the game.
17* DuelingPlayerCharacters: A unique example in that this trope starts applying in the middle of the confrontation. The final section of the game consists of several scenes where Aya faces off against her rival Hatate; for the second half, however, Hatate becomes the player character and Aya becomes the boss. Completing this fully unlocks Hatate as a playable character in the rest of the game.
18* FlashbackFail: In ''VideoGame/TouhouChireidenSubterraneanAnimism'', Satori's "Recollection" spell cards delve into the PlayerCharacter's memories to recreate attacks they've faced in the past. Here, when she tries to replicate ''New Impossible Request "Seamless Ceiling of Kinkaku-ji"'' (one of Kaguya's spells from ''[[VideoGame/TouhouBunkachouShootTheBullet Shoot the Bullet]]''), Aya's shoddy memory causes it to come out as the distorted ''Recollection "Vague Recollection of Kinkaku-ji"''.
19* GameBreakingBug: Scene 12-6 has a tendency to glitch and kill the player for absolutely no reason whatsoever. This isn't HitboxDissonance, this is the player just randomly getting killed by thin air. This can even affect successful clear replays. And it has not been patched. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY-LbqHSzZ0 Seen here.]]
20* InterfaceSpoiler: The replay menu specifies the player character's name for each entry. This can clue in an observant player to the existence of an unlockable character long before said character even shows up.
21* MissionPackSequel: This game can be considered this for ''Shoot the Bullet'', which was originally meant to be updated as new characters appeared.
22* {{Nerf}}: Kaguya's ''New Impossible Request "Seamless Ceiling of Kinkaku-ji"'' from ''Shoot the Bullet'' returns in the form of Satori's ''Recollection "Vague Recollection of Kinkaku-ji"''. This time around, however, you only need to take three pictures, as opposed to the seven of the original.
23* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: While it reuses [[VideoGame/TouhouBunkachouShootTheBullet "Touhou Bunkachou"]], it has an English phrase as the main title and "Touhou (XYZ)" as the subtitle, the opposite of most games in the series.
24* TyopOnTheCover: The game's title is misspelled as "Double Spoier" on the box art.
25* WeaponOfXSlaying: Reimu has developed at least two different spell cards for the sole purpose of making Aya go away (''Talisman "Exorcism of the Newspaper Subscription Solicitors"'' and ''Barrier "Paparazzi-Repelling Barrier"''), the former of which even spells out "NO NEWSPAPER SOLICITATIONS" in giant letters. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Aya comments that she'll have to find the tengu who was annoying Reimu so much and give her a stern talking to.]]
