Holy sweet christ. This is fucking epic work.
MORE, DAMNIT, MORE! MY INTERNETS FOR THIS ARTIST'S GALLERY.

holy crap, I have never seen Yuyuko with such a bloodthirsty look and Koishi with such a deranged expression.

This is clearly very well done, and clever at the same time, since Both Komeiji and the Scarlet sisters are quite similar.

Its a Battle for the Ages
But This all seems mixed up in a weird way
Reisen II seems the most out of place here
Ohwell she looks Awesome

Is that Rumia in the top left by Shou and Koa?

I think it is. I'll add the tag.

How I would love to know the potential plot behind all this.

Best fan art for Koishi's heart throbbing adventure EVER!

This really reminds of an Umineko piece I've seen somewhere.. cannot recall which.

Kogasa doesn't have her umbrella because Suwako murdered Sanae with it.

I hope this Koishi dies in a fire, though. Ugh.

In this image, VILLAINS: Let's see, Koishi is insanity personified, Yuyuko has eaten her gardener and plans to devour more, Mokou has given herself into pure madness and hate, planning to burn everything (even Keine), Sanae is a crazy shrine maiden, Byakuren is Youkai Hitler and the entire UFO crew (except for 2) is her Nazi brigade. Tewi collects moon rabbit feet, Hina burns Kappas, Star Sapphire is the true boss of Fairy Wars, Reisen II is a depraved psychopathic one-man army, Hong Meiling, and Koakuma is the Big Bad Devil.

Behold! One of the greatest epic tragedies ever told in the realm of Touhou. The corrupted image of a paradise, lost to madness. This is The Incident To End All Incidents. This is the end of Gensokyo.

Cannot wait for the next episode.

Forget Koishi (even if she is basically Gensokyo's equivalent of the Joker in this story). I hope Reisen II gets slowly mutiliated to death! What she did to Ran and Chen earned her a nice and slow, toes-first dip in a vat of acid! Nevermind the BS of her defeating them and Yukari in succession with no visible injuries!!

That is, it will be. But not before Reimu, Remilia and co. has anything to say about it!

Cannot wait for the next episode.

I'll admit I'm not too far into this series and I skipped a bit, which is how I saw Reisen II vs Yukari but didn't Meiling get killed by Koishi? How'd she become one of the villains?

OmniGman said:

It's only a guess but a very likely one because at the end of Part 8, she survived (shown in an earlier part)and you can see Meiling succumbing to the madness along with everyone else.

I hope I'm wrong.

OmniGman said:

It's possible that Koakuma planned all that to get their powers after they died, like how she got Sanae's

Such a Magnificent Bastard.

Wow. Epic! Gods, I hope they translate more soon!

Can I just ask you to put some spoilers in that? Not everyone's watched it, and her (seemingly) turning out to be the true villain was a big surprise.

But yeah, Gensokyo is divided, as the picture depicts. There's no doubt that Suwako is gonna come back with more than Sanae after she somehow deals with Komachi and takes her back.

Sorry. I'm not all too familiar with tags and rulings here on Danbooru. I just deleted the post.

I'll say this though; Whatever the final battle is like. This music will come to mind.

That is, if there is an actual final battle.

I just realized, since most of the Touhous are either dead or crazy or missing in action, Marisa, Alice, Nitori, Eirin, the remaining members of the SDM, Suika, and the two tengu (if they even want to bother) are the only ones left to fight back the youkai horde. Things are looking its bleakest...

Even in the darkest of darkness, there will ALWAYS be a tiny glimmer of light, of hope.

I think the final battle will be taking place within some kind of dimension/dungeon Koishi created using Yukari's Gap Power. It would be a battle against an evolved Koishi who is now convinced of turning not just Gensokyo but Earth into nothing but her own plaything. Yukari's own soul somehow will give Reimu and Co the chance to put an end to this. But first, they have to stop Hijiri Byakuren. I'm sure Suwako and Kogasa would join the party sometime before the final battle.

That's a big guess. My guess is,

That's what I predict so far. This series is really unpredictable.

So the Current Deaths and Events that happened are...

Furthermore I was looking toward for the next Episode, things really becoming freaky and awesome at the same time.

That's a great summary of everything that happened recently so far. But there's a chance that Koakuma already killed Flandre. But that's probably unlikely.
Also, if Suwako does what I predict, then Koakuma loses all the powers she's gained.

I just had an idea

Did the Kishin get into Gensokyo or something? Everyone became insane at Gensokyo that day

*ahem*

Long ago, in a distant land, I, Koakuma, master of deception and trickery, unleashed an unspeakable evil!

Got writer's block halfway through.

It's still unnerving how far the entire plot goes down from just forgetting a fishing rod

Actually Upon Readiing the Translated version of the chapter 10
Dayousei did mention something about the moon being strange that night(if i remember lunarians have some sort of insanity inducing moon device that would explain the apearance of reisen II) to cirno the day she became insane but also that implies that koishi is not responsible of the madness of gensokyo and its just a plan of the lunarians to kill yukari after her battle with koishi, that would leave eirin kaguya and reisen investigating this(as for tewi i think she was just evil since the beggining as an ally of the lunarians...maybe)

But thats just a hipotesis of mine

Lunatic6 said:

Satori kills Orin, I think this one as Satori think its better to kill everybody before all people ended up losing their sanity and starts to commit chaos all over Gensokyo, she already foresee the outcomes and the aftermath of these battles and said that everything will just be in ruins so she will just make things as quick as possible to lessen the sufferings.

I just thought of something:
Satori could have sensed the evil beginning to grow into Rin through "mind" reading, and decided it would be best to kill her off before Rin began causing trouble. I mean, she already has Koishi to worry about. The thing is, how Rin was acting makes the entire thing strange. Maybe her instincts to save Satori had taken over?
Ironically, I completely forgot about Satori's power. But now that I think about it, it does make sense.

Dude you can see the future... well sort of
Koishi is not responsible for the madness and Greatly implies that the Moonlight Descent is indeed a lunarian plan... and we havent seen Eirin or Kaguya so far

Alternating from what I've speculated before...

Regardless, this image makes an epic wallpaper for my dual monitor configuration. It turned my silliness configuration into something more.

How lunatic and fitting. Comment bookmark

I lost patience after episode 7 or 8. After Yukari "kills" Koishi, which the fact that there are at least a dozen more episodes make it obvious Koishi is going to pull some absolute bullshit power-up, regen and then kill Yukari.

There's no logic to who goes batshit insane and who doesn't (e.g. the entire UFO crew except Nazrin for some reason). There's some sort of Highlander/Megaman kill-them-and-steal-their-power mechanic at play. The fridge horror implicit in Koishi's canon unconscious-related abilities is apparently too subtle, so instead she's an eldritch abomination. Of the two people (not counting the Evil Mastermind) who seem to know what's going on, one is about to die without explaining anything and the other is lying to their trusted subordinates.

In short, a clusterfuck.

A tale of sanity and Heartlessness...

Well I actually really love the way that the Koishi and Yukari situation ends. It's unexpected and weird but it doesn't feel like some bullshit power-up.
It just shows you that the Satori race (at least in KKHTA) works a little different from how one might expect.

The insanity is indeed quite random. Though it did make some sense to me in a lot of cases, e.g. Nue the ancient yokai and Murasa, who was banished into former hell by humanity, being more on board with the crusade against humanity than Nazrin, a loyal servant of Bishamonten and Shou, who is all about pacifism. The "kill-them-and-steal-their-power mechanic" makes for quite an interesting Koakuma if you ask me. The way I see it, protecting and caring for Patchouli is her top priority, by her very nature. So when faced with the possibility of a war between the moon and Gensokyo, selling out the latter to ensure Patchouli's safety is only logical...despite how horrible it is.

It absolutely is a clusterfuck. Trust me it only gets crazier as the story progresses and the final episode...it's concept Koishi and punished Yukari living together in post-war Bavaria...I never would have seen that coming in a million years. It has weaker and stronger parts. It screams early internet and touhou fandom energy. I think it has it's charm and is worth a watch.
