The theme of Touhou 20 ~ Fossilized Wonders ~ is Big Data!

  Posted on my pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/134026865






Illustrated the new character Yuiman Asama. Her appearance and BGM are sexy and cool! It is a good surprise that a character using Python to process Big Data appears in Touhou Project! I am sincerely impressed by ZUN's creativity!

 The theme is "Big Data" which is related to my current research! ZUN-san has really sophisticated philosophy in this timely topic! I simply love Touhou Project and thank ZUN-san for producing it!

 

OMG! The theme of Touhou 20 is Big Data! "Snake" mentioned here sounds like Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-mJjCc_A2Q 


 ... this scene of the stage 5 surprises many Touhou Project fans! Toyohime appears in the original title as the rumour among the fans infered! This incidence is caused by the lunar people represented by Toyohime diverting the excess information flow to Gensokyo in the earth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Yqk_NX6ow 

 

 * Spoiler Alert *

 




The ex-boss battle in Touhou 20: Pachy (Patchouli Knowledge) helps Reimu! I love Pachy's quote "Knowledge without experience confuses people as there is no catharsis in truth." Patchouli knowledge is indeed knowledgeable, ummm impressive. ....

* Spoiler Alert *


Sanae-san is quoted by Marisa "Someone even the strength of Sanae could not defeat, and then she eventually retreated". Even though I am glad to know my fav Sanae Kochiya somehow appears even with such a situation.

So, it is found out that a character of these quotes change depending on which Incident Stone equipped in the battle with the extra-boss. This boss is the fossil trapped in this chaos of Big Data colluded with the deep-state. I also like Marisa explaining about "experience" with "knowledge" to this extra-boss.

The Touhou Project popularity poll 2025 is now open!
東方Project人気投票開幕!
The 1st choice gets 3 points, the 2nd gets 2 points, and the rest 5 choices get 1 point for each. I am planning to vote in the following order:
1. Youmu Konpaku 魂魄妖夢: Myon-chan みょんちゃん! I simply love her diligent personality as well as her adorable image. Also, strong and reliable as a playable unit! Her caring personality, cooking skill, her habit especially, and so many others about her really attract me very much! Her clumsiness also makes me familiar with her.
2. Megumu Iizunamaru 飯綱丸龍: Iizunamaru-sama is a respectable as well as gorgeous lady with high intelligence and strong charisma! She resembles to one of my favourite female philosophers to a certain extend. Her honest egoism makes me familiar as well as herself kinda sexy.
3. Sanae Kochiya 東風谷早苗: Sanae-san is my favourite shrine maiden in this series. She is also adorable, amiable, and diligent! Her intelligence and ability of attracting an investment to establish a rope-way connecting Moriya shirine and a human commune in Youkai mountain! She also shares some hobby and interests with me. Her maniac personality also makes me familiar with her.
4. Youki Konpaku 魂魄妖忌: Youmu's grandpa. One of few male characters in Touhou Project. A dandy strong handsome old man with a strong Samurai spirit! His grand-daughter Myon-chan (Youmu) was brought up as such a nice as well as an excellent guard of Lady Yuyuko at Hakugyokurou because of him! Yuyu also counted on him when he was there although she found he is too inflexible.
5. Byakuren Hijiri 聖白蓮: The stunning kind hearted strict bhikkhuni. Her philosophy of uniting both humans and youkais with a universal principle in a decentralised commune convinces me. Also, she is strong and beautiful.
6. Yuyuko Saigyouji 西行寺幽々子: A stunning and intelligent lady, the chief administrator of Hakugyokurou, the ghost shrine i.e. A boss of Konpaku family. Her mysterious past and calm tolerant personality are attracting. Even though I feel sorry about her subordinate Myon-chan (Youmu) under her severe workloads, Yuyu cares about and admire Myon-chan as her excellent guard as well as maid.
7. Misumaru Tamatsukuri 玉造魅須丸: An important character explaining about the fate of the main protagonist Reimu Hakurei , her weapon Yin-Yang sphere, and Izanagi Object, the mysterious energy source. Also, what she explain links the ancient Shintoism and the Touhou Project world. "Misumaru-No-Tama" is one of the phrase in Katakamuna-utahi, the ancient Shintoist mantra, which I enchant often. I wanted to vote 2 characters in Touhou 18 ~ Unconnected Marketeers 東方虹龍洞 ~ which seems to be the significant turning point of this entire series.

Myon-chan (Youmu Konpaku) with bikini smashing watermelon on the beach - Touhou Project fan art

 


Posted on my pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/132371135
As it's summer, I have illustrated Myon-chan (Youmu Konpaku), my most favourite character in Touhou Project, wearing bikini on the beach. Her sword skill smashes a watermelon in one go, "... Things that cannot be cut (by this Roukanken * forged by Youkai) are next to none!" * Not Roukanken in this case: It's a simple wooden sword. ^_^
