Nah, red wine is where it's at. That's the freaking Immortality Serum in alcoholic form tongue

[up][up][up]Nah, ZUN doesn't know anything about beer's benefits and drinks so we can have our new Touhou Game.

He should cut down on his drinks, now that he's married.

Well, the news seems to be only 2 - 3 weeks old... I don't know why I even care, but I'm pretty surprised.

EDIT: [up]Wait, the time stamp from that post is from 2009? *looks up Google Translate* Hmmm, nothing about marriage. Okay.

I am amused that people say his wife looks like the character Aya Shameimaru.

[up]That would be like Ken Akamatsu using his wife as basis for his heroines like Asuna or Naru.

Eh, the perception in the Touhou fandom is kinda reversed. (Note: Outsider's view from this point - I waste too much time on Pop-Cultural Osmosis.) The joke was that Aya the character was ZUN's girlfriend (which is probably the least unsavoury comment I can add) because of her recurring appearances in various games since her debut, at the expense of other fan-favourites. As the games went by, this role was filled by other characters like Sanae and Cirno depending on which character got the most screentime.

wild mass guessThe speculation comes full circle when you realise that - according to the ANN article - ZUN and his wife got together in 2004. Aya's debut, in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, was in 2005.wild mass guess

I still say we need more former Stage 5 bosses showing up in the roster. I mean Youmu came back after being gone for a whole trilogy for no particular reason, but no sign of Reisen sad Hell, Moriya Shrine is the only faction that's really been swinging its weight since IN.

Also, it would be somewhat amusing to have Shou start tearing shit up with curvy lasers, or Futo running around trying to solve incidents while still being stuck on ancient-world ideas and starting fights unintentionally because nobody knows what the hell she's saying.

Humans solve incidents. This is a thematically important part of the setting. There are some exceptions for the fighting games for obvious reasons, but in the main series only the humans or partial humans get to stay in the spotlight (in IN and SA the humans get youkai partners, but the humans are still the "default" part of the team).

Youmu is half-human, Reisen is a rabbit youkai. Shou is a tiger youkai/divine avatar, but I guess Futo might be okay. Maybe. Depends on what you think a shikaisen is.

I guess that also leaves Mokou open, but granted she's probably busy with the whole blood feud thing.
