Bad Apple!!

Go To

  • Eclipsed by the Remix: The Alstroemeria Records remix is orders of magnitudes more popular than the original in-game version. Consequently, most "Bad Apple!!" remixes are based on that remix rather than the original, with the latter seeing relatively little coverage of that sort (such as "Koakuma Ringo" by Yuuhei Satellite).
  • Gateway Series: Many Touhou fans have stated that the shadow-art music video for "Bad Apple!!" introduced them to Touhou Project and its fandom.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "Bad Apple!!" on everythingExplanation
    • The Cirno News NetworkExplanation
  • Signature Scene: "Bad Apple!!" has signature shots - specifically, two of them:
    • Marisa catching the apple and snacking on it as the camera pans to show her flying towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
    • Flandre striking a pose and giving a Slasher Smile, whereupon the video suddenly flips from white-on-black to black-on-white and is then bisected by Youmu.
  • Signature Song: "Bad Apple!!" is by far the most famous song by Alstroemeria Records, and is arguably the most famous Touhou-related song periodnote , official or fan-made.
