Puff-puff

**Puff-puff** (パフパフ, **Pafu-pafu**?) is a traditional snack made from fried dough, originally from Africa. Crown Princess Konata is known to make them frequently and often serves them to male patrons. However, it is often the term for the suggestive act of a person placing their face in between a woman's breasts, usually for pleasure.

## Origin

Puff-puff made its first appearance in the fifteenth chapter of the *Dragon Ball* manga, published in 1985. This would later influence its inclusion in nearly every mainline installment in the *Dragon Quest* series, for which *Dragon Ball*'s creator, Akira Toriyama, is the character designer for. These references to the act were forcibly removed by Nintendo when the first six *Dragon Quest* games were localized into English and were also removed in the English dub of the *Dragon Ball* anime. When puff-puff made its first appearance in the English translation of *Dragon Quest VII*, no changes were made to the dialogue from its original Japanese script. Although *Dragon Quest III* was the first game to have the puff-puff not be the act the player was expecting, this baffled Western players of *Dragon Quest VIII* where the girl performing the puff-puff on the player was instead rubbing two slimes against the player's head.

This gag was later repurposed for *Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!* in the form of the fried dough it is traditionally named in Africa. To add to the suggestive humor, the two puff-puff balls are arranged side-by-side to implicate breasts. While it does use the quote from the original Japanese script of the first *Dragon Quest* game, the line was slightly reworded with "sensual" being replaced with "tenderous," a word that cannot normally be found in the English dictionary, and "sample" being replaced with "taste." No changes were made in the Japanese version of the game, as it retains the original line. The sense of taste being used was likely used to make it more understandable for younger players. Of course, even though the game contains no sexual innuendo of any kind, that didn't stop the game from receiving the Mild Suggestive Themes descriptor in its ESRB rating, which in turn would equate to "brief suggestive humor" in an MPAA film descriptor if *Paraided!* was a movie instead of a game. The only other bit of suggestive humor in the game is during the cutscene after Takayuki Kuno is defeated, where the three spend the night in a hot spring in Gairai and Crown Princess Konata and Kagami Ochiai wearing low-cut swimsuits exposing part of their cleavage.

## Appearances

### *Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!*

The puff-puff makes its first and only appearance in the second *Chuhou Joutai* game during the intermission segment between the third and fourth stages. Crown Princess Konata, as usual, asks Driller or Kagami if they would like to eat a "tenderous puff-puff" for 20 ingots. If the player accepts, the puff-puff balls remain intact as it is only an image, but Konata will tell the player their "stiff shoulders should be fighting fit" as of now, giving the suggestive implication.

Drillimation Danmaku Universe Timeline

The **timeline of the *Drillimation Danmaku Universe*** is the official chronology of the franchise. The timeline was created by Drillimation as a reference when choosing what characters, organizations, or locations would be included in a single game. Not all games produced by Drillimation are part of the timeline, with some games and other media deliberately taking place outside the timeline. Sometimes, the plot of a game could be part of a completely different universe or timeline altogether, with the stories of those games having nothing to do with the main timeline.

Proclamation of the Federal Kingdom of Kozan

Date(s)
 Location(s)
 Description

The **proclamation of Federal Kingdom of Kozan** was the event that officially established the Federal Kingdom of Kozan on January 2, 1702. Queen Marisa made the announcement at the Kozankyo Imperial Palace in Kozankyo, which was chosen as the capital for the new state. The proclamation also established the Monarchy of Kozan with Marisa as the first ruler and the government of the new state. Prior to the establishment, several towns and villages in Eastern Kozan had their own local governments.

The kingdom's national anthem was played for the first time, and the country's national flag was officially unveiled during the ceremony. During the celebration, the first public military parade of the then-new Kozanese Royal Defense Force took place after the flag was raised while the national anthem was played.

## Declaration

On January 2, 1702, Marisa announced the nation at the Kozankyo Imperial Palace.

*People of Kozankyo and King Rinnosuke, thank you. As the queen of a new monarchy, I hereby declare the establishment of the Federal Kingdom of Eastern Kozan. Our people in Eastern Kozan have been plunged into suffering when the Scarlet Devil attempted to betray our motherland. We have been fighting heroically and selflessly to defend the sovereignty of our homeland by protecting our citizens' lives and property, relieving their suffering, struggling for their rights, and exterminating the attempted rule by the Crimsonite people. Now that we have backing from the Swedish, I shall also establish the first session of the Democratic Party of Kozan.*
*Representing my whole will, our kingdom shall be free and open to society. I have been elected as the sovereign of Kozan and have decided on Kozankyo to be the capital of the Federal Kingdom of Kozan. As I take the throne today, our goal was to establish a kingdom within Kozan, adopt Swedish standards and customs, and form various organs of the kingdom to carry out our work. In addition, we have also decided to declare the governments of all other countries to represent everyone in the Federal Kingdom of Kozan. We are also willing to establish diplomatic relations with any foreign governments that observe our principles with equality, mutual benefit, and mutual respect.*
## Celebrations

The first military parade took place after the proclamation of the kingdom. It involved over 6,000 officers and personnel and was the first large-scale military parade conducted on the continent.
Phase One

**Phase One**, informally referred to as the **NES Era**, is the first phase of the *Drillimation Danmaku Universe*. The phase marked the start of the franchise, beginning with the release of the demo of *Chuhou Joutai: The Middle State of War* in May 2019 and concluded with the release of *Chuhou Joutai 3: Three Nights of Scarlet Abscess* in October 2022.

## Overview

The first set of games formally introduces the main universe in which the games are set, the core characters of *Chuhou Joutai* such as Susumu Takajima, Kagami Ochiai, and Crown Princess Konata, and organizations such as the Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson and Kozanese Royal Defense Force. The phase mainly focuses on the *Chuhou Joutai* games revolving around Takajima and Ochiai finding and thwarting various threats posed by SPASDOT. The final game of the phase revolved around SPASDOT swearing revenge after two of their strongholds were destroyed by the KRDF.

Five of the games produced during the phase are not related to *Chuhou Joutai*. The phase also includes the *Touhou Project NES Demakes*, which are NES-inspired adaptations of the first five *Touhou Project* games produced by Team Shanghai Alice (then known as ZUN Soft or Amusement Makers).

## Games

### *Chuhou Joutai: The Middle State of War*

The first *Chuhou Joutai* game tells the story of Susumu Takajima, a Japanese-American programmer who joins the Kozanese Royal Defense Force after being arrested for attempting to join SPASDOT. Joining forces with Kagami Ochiai, when the two find out about a stronghold being occupied by SPASDOT at the tip of Ahoge Peninsula, they go out and destroy it.

### *Touhou 1: The Highly Responsive to Prayers NES Demake*

In the NES-style adaptation of the first *Touhou Project* game, Reimu Hakurei, the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, desperately hunts for the person who destroyed the Hakurei Shrine during a war between the humanoid and youkai races. Either one of the two includes Sariel, living in the Aetherworld, and Kongara, living in the Netherworld. Her only weapon of choice is a yin-yang orb.

### *Touhou 2: The Story of Eastern Wonderland NES Demake*

After the events of the previous game, the Hakurei Shrine becomes swarmed by Bakeboos. Hopping onto her turtle Genji, they must confront the spirit of a deceased woman.

### *Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!*

With the world aware of Susumu Takajima and Kagami Ochiai's accomplishments, the two are invited by Crown Princess Konata to a bon festival to show off the Mini Hakkero. However, SPASDOT grunts conduct a raid and end up stealing the Hakkero, forcing the duo and the princess to search nearby locations in Gensokyo to find it.
Theme of Eastern Story

The **Theme of Eastern Story** (テーマ・オブ・イースタンストーリー, **Tēma Obu Īsutan Sutōrī**?) is a leitmotif originally created by Jun'ya Ohta for the *Touhou Project* series, serving as the title screen in most *Touhou Project* games released from *Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil* onwards. The motif has been used in the *Chuhou Joutai* games, primarily in the title screen themes and appearing in a number of other themes.

Since the Kozanese reunification, Horudika Canal serves as the residence for the Monarch of Kozan, and the current name was named for the river of the same name within Kozan.

Horudika Canal is famed for its beauty and is a major tourist destination in Kozan.

*This article is a stub. You can help Drillipedia by expanding it.*

## History

### Edo Period

Horudika Canal was founded by Queen Yukari as Yakumograd in 1703 after fleeing from anti-youkai persecution in Kozankyo. From there, she founded the Democratic Kingdom of Western Kozan with Yakumograd being the seat of the newly-founded socialist monarchy.

### Meiji Period

Following the Meiji Restoration, the Monarchy of Western Kozan was abolished and the Democratic Kingdom of Western Kozan voted to dissolve into the Federal Kingdom of Eastern Kozan in an event known as the Kozanese Reunification. From there, Yakumograd was renamed Horudika Canal after the river of the same name while the city became the home of the Monarchy of Kozan in the newly reunified Federal Kingdom of Kozan.

Touhou 5: Mystic Square NES Demake

***Touhou 5: Mystic Square NES Demake***, known in Japan as ***Touhou Kaikidan Famicom Demake*** (東方怪(とうほうかい)綺(き)談(だん)ファミコンディメイク, **Tōhō Yumejikū Famikon Dimeiku**?), is a freeware parody game developed and published by Drillimation Systems. The game is a complete remake of the Team Shanghai Alice game of the same name but is replicating the hardware of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Despite including "NES Demake" in the title, it is not a homebrew project, and as the Prophet Driller notes in his demonstration video, the game is actually made in GameMaker Studio 2. The game was released on June 3, 2022, and is the seventh installment in the *Drillimation Danmaku Universe*. It is the final *Touhou Project NES Demake*.

The source code for the demake was released in 2023.

## Gameplay

*See also: List of Spell Cards in Touhou 5: Mystic Square*
The game runs on the same engine as its predecessor. Unlike the previous games, the game has four playable protagonists, all of whom are returning characters from previous games. Playable characters Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame return, and the game introduces Mima, the spirit of Marisa's late mother, and Yuuka Kazami, a former enemy of Reimu and Marisa. The gameplay is pretty much the same with the goal of shooting anything that moves, avoiding enemy attacks, and defeating the boss at the end of the stage to progress the story.

## *Chuhou Joutai* references in this game

Kagami Ochiai appears in this game and is much more hidden than in the previous demakes. While she was absent in *Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story NES Demake*, she makes a cameo appearance in two of the game's endings, in both the good and bad endings for Reimu Hakurei. Her bad ending appearance shows her dressed in her appearance as shown in the *Touhou 2: The Story of Eastern Wonderland NES Demake* and *Touhou 3: The Phantasmagoria of Dimensional Dreams NES Demake*. Her good ending appearance shows her dressed in her festival yukata that first appeared in *Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!*.

## Behind the Scenes

* This is the first *Drillimation Danmaku Universe* game to:
	+ Have more than two playable characters.
	+ Run on the exact same engine as a previous game.
	+ Have a midboss spell card.
	+ Be featured on the front page of itch.io for a short time.
* This is the only demake to feature endings after beating the extra stage.
* When counting the good and bad endings, as well as the extra endings, the game has the most number of endings out of any game produced by Drillimation with a total of twelve.

Tutorial stage

The **tutorial stage** is a non-game stage generally played when *Chuhou Joutai* is booted up for the first time. It is intended to teach players how to play the game and such; this includes the controls and game mechanics, as well as the graphical user interface. Unlike other cutscenes, the player cannot skip them. Even if the tutorial has been completed, the player can play it again by pushing the Select button on their gamepad during the title screen.

In the second and third games, the tutorial is optional.

## Stage context

The stage opens with Megumi Wasai welcoming the player to the world of danmaku, and how Queen Marisa may have become the mother of modern danmaku. After the initial cutscene, it then goes into the tutorial stage where the player is tasked with pushing a couple of buttons to familiarize themself with the controls and attack methods. After that, there is another cutscene where Wasai explains the graphical user interface and items along the player's journey.

## Background

The stage does not take place within any location in Kozan, but is a generic diamond-shaped background scrolling diagonally.

## Forces encountered

In the first game, the player cannot defeat any enemies in the stage, as there are no enemies to shoot at. The player also cannot hurt Wasai herself, as she is not a boss in any form.

This is changed in the second and third games, with Wasai being a boss for the player to fight. Additionally, in the second game, different-colored haniwa appear with the player being required to push a specific button to operate the controls and defeat them.

## Behind the Scenes

* It is not possible to faint in this stage. If the player's health drops to 10 points or below, it will reset to 30.
Crimsonite grunt

**Crimsonite grunts** (真紅人下っ端, **Shinku-jin shitappa**?) are a term that refers to underlings of any militant group who are followers of Flandre Scarlet as their deity of worship. While most of them are known not to have a name, their roles are to act as fodders, enforcers, soldiers, workmen, crooks, and backups for various SPASDOT leaders, including the shogun.

## Behavior

### *Chuhou Joutai: The Middle State of War*

Three variants of Crimsonite grunts exist in *Chuhou Joutai: The Middle State of War*: Boss Crimsonites first appear in the fourth stage of the game and stop to shoot danmaku at the player at an alarming rate. This can make getting around them very dangerous if there are more than one. The other two are the typical grunts and first appear in the seventh stage. Male Crimsonites stop to shoot danmaku at the player in a line, while female Crimsonites turn left or right depending on which side of the screen they are on and endlessly shoot shard danmaku until they die.

### *Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!*

Boss Crimsonite grunts return in *Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!* in the seventh stage, and they have different behavior this time. Their first attack is the usual danmaku but slightly altered, but their second attack has them shooting in a spiral. The typical grunts do not appear in the stage at all.

### *Chuhou Joutai 3: Three Nights of Scarlet Abscess*

The male and female counterparts return in *Chuhou Joutai 3: Three Nights of Scarlet Abscess*, unlike their appearance in *Chuhou Joutai: The Middle State of War*, they first appear much earlier in the game at stage 3 and are given brand new attacks. The male grunts stop and repeatedly throw danmaku up in the air, and will not stop until killed. The female grunts continuously walk in a straight line while throwing danmaku downward. Their danmaku resembles the standard style but are twice as large.

### *Touhou Kourinden ~ Mythos of Phantasmagoria*

Both male and female counterparts appear in the game as bosses, and because the game is set during the Edo Period, they wear the kimono outfits worn in the first *Chuhou Joutai* game. They are first encountered in the Kinmyou Caverns trying to mine out iron and gold for the Gensokyo Socialist Order but are all defeated by the young Kourin.

## Appearance

In the past and even in the present day, grunts almost always wore kimono. Female Crimsonites wear the traditional kimono with their obi tied in the otaiko style and male Crimsonites generally wear hakama.

In the present day, male Crimsonite grunts are depicted wearing a short-sleeved shirt along with long pants, and female Crimsonite grunts generally wear a sleeveless top and shorts. Boss Crimsonites wear the same clothing but have green hair.

Kozanese Royal Defense Force

The **Kozanese Royal Defense Force** (王室(おうしつ)衛(まもる)隊(たい), **Ōshitsu Mamoru-tai**?), as designated by the constitution of the Federal Kingdom of Kozan and often shortened to **KRDF**, are the unified armed forces of Kozan, consisting of sea, land, and air forces. The force was founded several years after the establishment of the Federal Kingdom of Eastern Kozan to fight in the Scarlet Devil War, the first conflict it ever fought in. The commander-in-chief of the KRDF is the reigning monarch of Kozan, with the current commander being King Soujirou. The monarch's duties are to form military policy with Kozan's governmental organizations.

Since its inception, the KRDF has played a significant role in shaping the 20th century in Kozan. It played a huge role in the Kozanese Reunification and its involvement in the two World Wars have established the modernized framework for the KRDF.

*This article is a stub. You can help Drillipedia by expanding it.*

## Mission

While remaining constant, the Kozanese Royal Defense Force's purpose is to preserve Kozan's peace, security, and defense, support national policies, implement national objectives, and overcome any forces responsible for aggressive acts that interfere with their principles.

## History

### Edo Period

Before Kozan declared independence from Sweden, Kozanese citizens primarily served in local militia groups. The force was formally established when the Scarlet Devil War broke out, becoming the first conflict it ever fought in and won.

### Taisho and Showa Periods

During World War I, World War II, and the Cold War, both the United States and Japan offered Kozan support. Like other militia groups, men primarily took the role of fighting while women took on other roles. Over time, the height and age requirements were lowered in order to recruit more citizens to the military.

### Heisei Period

As of today, the age limit to join the KRDF is as low as 13 years of age, with Susumu Takajima and Kagami Ochiai being the youngest at the age of 14.

***Driller and Kagami's Dream*** (ドリラーとカガミの夢, **Dorirā to Kagami no Yume**?) is the fourth song in the soundtrack of *Chuhou Joutai*. It is played on the main menu.

## Behind the scenes

* The 2A03 version of the song was written first before the others.
* This was the first song the Prophet Driller composed for the game.
* The Prophet has stated that the song doesn't sound that great; this is especially true because the song garnered a mixed reception when it first released.
* He has revealed in the comments about a secret on the main menu. Pushing the left shoulder button (LB on Xbox, L1 on PS4, or L on Joy-Con) or clicking the mirror five times will reveal an outline image of what appears to be a future Driller or Kagami dressed in royal attire; the secret found jingle from *The Legend of Zelda* also plays, though the player must be sharp-eared or have the music turned off in order to hear it.

Stronghold

**Strongholds** (拠点(きょてん), **Kyoten**?) are fortresses controlled by the Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson, or SPASDOT for short. These are built to guard important and strategic sites and house usually hundreds of Crimsonite grunts and leaders, which are almost always incorporated into their defenses. Many of the strongholds operated by SPASDOT have suffered heavy damage or in some cases totaled completely by Kozanese and American military operations during the Soviet-Kozan conflict and Kozanese Civil War.

Strongholds can either occupy an existing building that was usually abandoned in the past or be custom-built. Custom-built strongholds usually use Japanese-style architecture and are usually constructed using wood and stone in the same way traditional Japanese castles are built.

Blaster

**Blasters** (ブラスター, **Burasutā**?) are the term used to refer to any ranged weapon designed to fire bolts of intense plasma, which many refer to as danmaku. Following the same principles as other laser weaponry found in many science-fiction works, many projectiles have the same consequences as their real-world counterparts when they strike an object, from causing cosmetic damage to even striking down a living being. Blasters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including but not limited to pistols, rifles, and even cannons.

Blaster projectiles deliver variable levels of damage based on their attack power. Non-lethal projectiles can stun a victim, while the opposite can kill a target. If a projectile successfully strikes a living being, it normally causes immediate bleeding that requires surgical treatment. Additionally, danmaku strikes can rupture organs and break bones, even if the victim is armored in any way possible. Danmaku can come in a variety of colors, and many blaster wielders can pick a variety of colors to suit their preference.

Ahoge Peninsula

Location(s)
 Occupant(s)

**Ahoge Peninsula** (アホゲ半島(はんとう), **Ahoge Hantō**?) is a peninsula that juts off the coast of Kozankyo. It earns its name due to the fact the peninsula itself is shaped like an *ahoge*, a Japanese word that refers to a single hair strand sticking out of a person's head.

## History

### Heisei Period

#### Kozanese Civil War

Susumu Takajima and Kagami Ochiai arrived at the tip of Ahoge Peninsula in April 2004 to locate and destroy a stronghold associated with the Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson via Crown Princess Konata's Victorian Princess riverboat. A week after the stronghold's destruction, Takajima and Ochiai returned to the peninsula to find anything that was left behind, only to encounter an unfamiliar face that is revealed to be Marie Willow which the duo duels and wins.

**Crimsonite in the Fantasy Island Amusement Park** (夢想島遊園地に真紅人, **Musō-jima Yūenchi ni Shinkujin**?) is the third stage of *Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!*, given to KRDF recruits Susumu Takajima and Kagami Ochiai by Crown Princess Konata.

## Stage context

The stage begins some time after the previous stage. With the Mini-Hakkero captured by SPASDOT, Crown Princess Konata takes the duo on a journey to search all of Eastern Kozan to find it. Their first stop is the city of Kourindou east of Kozankyo. While on the way, Gatashima Provincial Highway Police at a service area warn them about Mystiboos that were spotted nearby. Once they get to Kourindou, they happen to find one of the Crimsonites who took part in the raid that caused SPASDOT to capture the Mini Hakkero. When asked by Susumu Takajima if he has the Mini Hakkero, he tells Driller he does and can only give it to him if he defeats him in a danmaku duel. Driller ends up winning the duo and asks him to give him the Mini Hakkero, only to have Hearthcliffe jump in and fool the duo into thinking he had it when in reality he doesn't. On the trio's way back from Kourindou, a young half-Japanese girl lends them advice on where to find the Mini-Hakkero.

## Background

The stage takes place on a highway in Gatashima province, with the boss segment taking place at an amusement park.

## Forces encountered

### New enemies

* Mystiboo
* Sparnet

### Opponents

* **Susumu Takajima** - *"I happened to encounter Hearthcliffe again within a 10-day timestamp. Just why did he prove Nakasone doesn't have the Mini-Hakkero!?"*
* **Crown Princess Konata** - *"I am so mad about today. Having to drive four hours to and from Kourindou was a real pain! But hopefully that hafu's advice can help us further the investigation."*
* **KRDF** - *"Great job to the Unforgettable for throwing Kichiro Nakasone in jail. He was the one who killed Maika Ohtake in the first place. We are honoring Ohtake as a heroine who died trying to save our royal highness."*

Death of Mima

 Result

 •  Mima
 •  Master Kirisame

During the latter half of 1673, Mima, a woman who just relocated with her husband Master Kirisame and only daughter Marisa Kirisame to Gairai, confronted Vladrouge Scarlet, the leader of the Gensokyo Socialist Order. Upon being cornered after refusing to open the door to their new household just so he can find Marisa Kirisame, Mima was murdered when Vladrouge made a single strike to her heart. After the Federal Kingdom of Gensokyo was founded nearly three decades later, the kingdom's investigation into the murder considered it one of the most bizarre crimes in the history of Gensokyo.

Scarlet was charged with the crime shortly after murdering Mima. The investigation determined the plot was masterminded by Scarlet himself after hearing a prophecy that Marisa Kirisame would have the ability to defeat him. Multiple other Crimsonite grunts were found to have conspired in the crime. The killing of Mima is a matter of controversy. Investigators concluded that Mima was a willing participant in her confrontation with Scarlet. His family had confirmed that Scarlet was forced to murder Mima by multiple Crimsonites. The incident gained extensive media coverage.

## The crime

The knife used in the killing had a pink blade believed to have been made from copper. Mima had lived in the Humanoid Village for multiple years before her death. Just after moving to Gairai with her family, Scarlet appeared, looking to find and kill Mima. According to local law enforcement, upon arriving in Gairai, he immediately saw Mima outside her family's new home. Scarlet then accosted Mima and Morichika. In interviews with law enforcement, Scarlet attempted to kill Morichika first but ultimately failed. He then tried to find Marisa Kirisame by entering their new home. After Mima ignored Scarlet's warnings, he proceeded to ram his dagger into Mima's heart. Mima died within minutes after the attack.

## Aftermath

The death of Mima led to Master Kirisame being widowed, forcing him to be the only caregiver to Marisa.

## Media attention

As the case continued to develop, the investigation garnered media coverage in local newspapers. Because Vladrouge Scarlet was a member of the Gensokyo Socialist Order, the attack was considered to be terrorism-related. Due to its novelty, the incident retains a fascination for many people.
Game Over

A **game over** occurs if the player fails to meet the requirements of a critical objective, or if they lose all of their health. Game overs vary between games, and after encountering such message players can have the opportunity to continue the game from their last save point.

## In *Chuhou Joutai* and the *Touhou Project NES Demakes*

In the *Chuhou Joutai* trilogy and *Touhou Project NES Demakes*, a game over occurs if the player loses all of their HP as a result of getting seriously injured from enemy attacks and is unable to pay the revive fee. Receiving a game over warps the player to a screen where the player is given the opportunity to either continue or end the game altogether. If the player chooses to continue, the game will resume from the beginning of the stage from where the game over occurred, their score will be cut in half, and may end up seeing the bad ending if the player finishes the game. Ending the game will send the player to the results and name-entry screens. The name-entry screen is not present in the first two *Touhou Project NES Demakes*, and bad endings do not appear in the third demake.

The *Touhou Project NES Demakes* have the option of playing the games using the traditional lives system just like in the originals. Players encounter a game over after running out of lives. The below table shows what happens when the player gets a game over and the consequences that follow if the player chooses to continue:

## In *Mythos of Phantasmagoria*

In *Touhou Kourinden ~ Mythos of Phantasmagoria*, a game over occurs if all of the battlers in the player's party faint as a result of getting seriously injured from enemy attacks or becoming violently ill from status problems such as burns or poison. Players have the opportunity to retry or continue a battle, or flee the scene altogether. If the player chooses to continue or flee, they will lose a sum of money. During event battles, money would be given to the winning side, while in normal battles money would be dropped in panic. The amount of money lost is calculated by multiplying the current act and the average level of all party members, and then fivefolding that value. For example, if the player is currently in Act One, and Kourin is level 12, they would lose 60 ryo.

After fleeing, the player will rush to a Shinto shrine where a priest performs a purification ritual to remove any negative energy that may have cursed the player and their allies. They will then respawn outside of a home or inn in the last town the player visited.
Post-credits scene

A **post-credits scene** is a short cutscene that plays at the end of a game after the credits have rolled, and have been a staple of the *Drillimation Danmaku Universe* since the very first *Chuhou Joutai* game, usually foreshadowing what may happen in the postgame, such as a game's extra stage, but they also resolve a plotline from the game or provide comedic relief. In the *Chuhou Joutai* trilogy, these scenes can be accessed after the player registers their name on the high score screen and if the player got the good ending.

## Phase One

### *Chuhou Joutai: The Middle State of War*

The cutscene is set at the Victorian Boutique, with all characters dressed in Victorian-era clothing for a purely intentional retro feel. Crown Princess Konata is sitting and minding her own business, while Susumu Takajima, Kagami Ochiai, and Ayako Sugiwara come in one by one. Konata tells the duo she needs something from the ruins of the destroyed stronghold and if they find one, return it to her. The cutscene ends with Ayako telling Driller that he killed the fake Fred Fawkes instead of the real one, and that she is lying.

### *Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!*

The cutscene takes place in an airplane as the duo, alongside Crown Princess Konata and Kisumi Torisawa prepare for their flight to Japan and their subsequent visit to Kyoto. The dialogue mostly consists of what they'll do in Japan alongside the girls getting geisha makeovers.

### *Chuhou Joutai 3: Three Nights of Scarlet Abscess*

The cutscene takes place at the Scarlet Devil Mansion a day after the events of the final stage. As Driller and Crown Princess Konata have their final dance, it is confirmed that Crown Princess Konata would be getting married to her fiancé in the spring of 2005. Meanwhile, Kagami Ochiai stands behind the two silently watching.

## Phase Two

### *Touhou Kourinden ~ Mythos of Phantasmagoria*

The cutscene takes place at the Kozankyo Imperial Palace following the establishment of the Federal Kingdom of Gensokyo as a result of the defeat of Vladrouge Scarlet. While the royal couple of King Kourin and Queen Marisa, alongside their courtiers of Alice Margatroid and Patchouli Knowledge, are enjoying their time together, Master Kirisame enters, checking on them. During his visit, Master asks Marisa about the population of Kozankyo, which turns out to be 700 since the establishment. They are told to pay a visit to Ahoge Peninsula to foil a plot that the Gensokyo Socialist Order may be plotting.

## List of games not featuring post-credits scenes

## Behind the Scenes

* Series director and producer Susumu Takajima confirmed that was inspired by the *Marvel Cinematic Universe* to include post-credits scenes in the games.
* The post-credits scene in *Chuhou Joutai 3: Three Nights of Scarlet Abscess* is the first game to not have all characters that appear speak a line, that character being Kagami Ochiai.

Kamikaze

A **kamikaze** (神風(かみかぜ)?) is the Japanese word that refers to any violent attack where the attacker expects their own death to be used as a direct method of damaging, harming, or destroying a target. SPASDOT has often perpetrated kamikaze attacks in its history, usually as part of their military or terrorist campaigns. Kamikaze attacks often have deadly consequences and are more destructive than any other terrorist attack, as attackers tend to have the ability to conceal their weapons and make last-minute adjustments that do not require any remote or delayed detonation.

Attackers may have a variety of motives to pull one of these off. The most common reason is due to mental illness but is usually done for sacrificial purposes under obedience enacted by SPASDOT military orders. The ideology of martyrdom usually motivates an overwhelming majority of attackers.

## Etymology

The term is derived from the kamikaze pilots that the Japanese military utilized in World War II. When translated, the term literally means "divine wind."

Stage

In each *Chuhou Joutai* game, there are eight **stages** (ステージ, **Sutēji**?). Each stage comprises one whole level that contains obstacles, enemies, and bosses. The goal of each stage is to defeat the boss at the end and once they do, the player will progress to the next stage. The main obstacle is evading enemy attack patterns, and each stage has a unique background and a midboss in the middle of the stage.

Usually, in a scrolling shooter, players do not have the ability to freely travel around the stage and wait for enemies and bosses to approach the player and shoot danmaku for them to dodge. In the game's menu, Free Play Mode allows the player to select any stage within a game.

Koseimi

**Koseimi** (公正(こうせい)見(み)区(く), **Kōseimi-ku**?) is a ward in Kozankyo, located west of Downtown Kozankyo.

## Emythology

Koseimi is taken from the Japanese words *kousei* (公正?), meaning *fairness*, and the first syllable of *miru* (見る?), meaning *see*.

## History

### Heisei Period

#### 2004 raid

Koseimi experienced a raid by three SPASDOT Crimsonites in July 2004. The raid resulted in multiple attendees of a bon festival being held hostage and the theft of the Mini-Hakkero, an object owned by the Kozanese Royal Family. Maika Ohtake, a maiko dancing at the festival, tried to stop the raid but was subsequently killed by Kichiro Nakasone after killing Kazuo Ozawa. The raid resulted in a massive manhunt for the Crimsonites involved in Kourindou, Gairai, Kinmyou, and Masa.

## Real-world influence

*See:* Kozan in relation to the real world
Koseimi is based on the real world Fairview Township which is located west of Erie, Pennsylvania, Drillimation Systems' hometown.

 Architectural style

**Union Station** (ユニオン駅(えき), **Yunion-eki**?) is a railway station located in downtown Kozankyo. The station provides bullet train services to make it easy to travel to Kourindou in the east and Kinmyou to the south.

## History

### Heisei Period

#### Kozanese Civil War

In the summer of 2004, Susumu Takajima and Kagami Ochiai traveled to Union Station via bike to stop a group of Crimsonites once they entered Kozankyo. Following the Koseimi raid, it is likely the remaining Crimsonites took the bullet train from this station to escape Kozankyo.

## Real-world influence

*See:* Kozan in relation to the real world
The station is based on the real-life Union Station based in Erie, Pennsylvania, which makes it another nod to Drillimation's hometown.
