EXTREMELY jealous of how Mamizou can use her giant fucking tail like a pillow. this is a power some people would die for

"How did they know the Lotus Hotel and Casino was the Lotus Eaters???"

Uh. Y'all.

Giant lotus blossom on the roof? Called the "LOTUS" Hotel and Casino? Like, you could not have known about the Lotus Eaters story and NOT have connected the dots. It's so obvious to anyone who knew about the lotus eaters.

Not to mention, it's pretty obvious the changes regarding how fast the trio catch onto the myths they're facing are meant to give them a feeling of helplessness when, despite doing EVERYTHING right, they still failed to meet the deadline.

They did everything to the best of their abilities, and STILL failed to beat the Solstice. It's clearly intentional, not some wack job choice they made for no reason. There's an intention here, and it's a dam good one, if I do say so myself.

Please just enjoy the show 😭

Sannyo being dumbstruck by Mamizou's Mamizou-ness

Then, Sannyo immediately shifts to stare at her like she found a strange, cute animal

Odysseus and Polites got to an island and took advice from what is their world equivalent of THE GASTATION CRACKHEAD COMMUNITY.

No wonder one of them died.

so what actually makes sannyo your favorite character? what do you see in her that you don’t see in other characters

this image:

Im just kidding. Though she is really cute in it.

Truth be told, when UM came out I thought Sannyo was Super cool. Her "You darn fool" expression was probably the best expression in the whole game. but somehow, when the full game was out, she wasn't my favorite. I liked Tsukasa and Megumu and thought Chimata's outfit was crazy fun.

Though even then i preferred Sannyo's outfit design to everyone else's.

But Sannyo slipped from my mind due to what I'll call "Stage 3 syndrome" meaning, after the demo, Everyone likes the 3 stage demo characters for a while and pick a favorite among them, but when the main game comes out they get pushed aside really quick and people, more or less just move on to the new characters

But when I read her power and stuff in her Omake.txt she quickly became the coolest character in there. Of course she's a newer stage 3 boss so I obviously never expected to ever see her again.

(Though tbh my dislike of the smell of smoke probably wasn't scoring her any points, she was honestly at a disadvantage the whole time. I just like her enough to think it's cool when she's using her power instead. Besides, given what she says it's made of, it probably just smells like strange flowers anyway)

But then despite my assumption I'd never see her again, She appeared in Lotus Eaters chapter 29 and continued to appear occasionally after, Not only that......

She had the COOLEST, most cinematic intro in the entire touhou series. It was like 5 pages of slow walking through her Den politely greeting people, using her power, and even making aside comments with cynical gambling advice. Then meeting Mamizou at the door with a confident bow.

she's also got a crazy gap moe range of interests from obscure flowers to Dragons, proudly wearing the name Madame Komakusa, the after what is called the queen of Japan's alpine flowers.

And a crazy range of emotions. (Plus Lotus Eaters loves having her do something fun or cute in the background during her shift hours, even if the script dialog isn't calling for her)

she's mysterious, yet she's as expressive as an actual main character, she's got a range of principles, interests, and an incredibly cool gap moe thing going on. It's so rare for characters that were more or less side characters in their respective games to be this well rounded, I mean she's from freaking stage 3. But, She's awesome, adorable, and mysterious.

And it's not even a headcanon, or a fandom take on her, she is just genuinely like this in canon.
