Aah, Minoriko-san! Where have you been?
Suwako-sama, has Minoriko-san returned yet?

over 2 years agoEh? I'm meaning Minoriko's eyes. A MGS reference no doubt but can't recall what exactly. Been a little while since I've played the games.
Suwako just put her hat on Minoriko to fool Nitori. Minoriko hasn't left...

over 2 years agoHmm... Looking at it, it appears Kaguya hid her codek under Minoriko's hat and her eyes are displaying the static of it? That's the impression I give seeing as her hat's trembling and emitting a sound.

over 2 years agoMinoriko’s eyes remind me of the startup sequence of some android… I think it was from Chobits.

There's a grenade-thing in MGS which disables security cameras.
That's what's going on.

1 year agoI think Kaguya's power of Eternity affected the raisens on Minoriko's hat, or her proximity or touch are affecting Minoriko directly. Notice that the raisens seem to be grapes again.
So, Kaguya is just revitalizing her and Minoriko's wider eyes and the lights in them are a sign that she's "booting up".

1 year agoHmm, I think that the hats are the means with which the Touhou characters identify each other.
The clothes are a fall-back option.
