Gengetsu (幻月) is the second Extra Stage boss of Lotus Land Story and an inhabitant of the mysterious dream world. She's the older sister of Mugetsu.

Character Basis

Name

"Gengetsu" means "illusory moon" when the kanji are read separately; read together they mean "paraselene" or "moondog", which is a type of optical illusion. It's interesting that Gengetsu is the only character in the whole series to use the kanji (Gen, lit. illusory) in a name with Gensokyo (幻想郷) also using the same kanji. The word "Gensokyo" appears in Lotus Land Story's title name.

Design

Gengetsu has yellow eyes, medium-length yellow hair, a red bow in her hair, wears a pink and white dress and a red vest. She also has white wings that resemble an angel's wings.

Story

Lotus Land Story

After the final events of Lotus Land Story the heroine stumbles upon another strange world which Gengetsu's younger sister Mugetsu claims to be her world. Once Mugetsu is defeated Gengetsu comes to her aid, even while admitting she doesn't even know why the heroine is there. Little is known about either her or her sister and they appear to have no importance to the story.

Relationships

Mugetsu

It's only known that Gengetsu lives with her younger sister, Mugetsu.

Additional Information

  • The final events of Lotus Land Story occurred in a "dream world". The place Mugetsu and Gengetsu reside in appears to be yet another dream world.
  • Gengetsu is able to fire a laser similar in appearance to the Master Spark.
  • Her theme "Cute Devil ~ Innocence" contains a short segment (specifically the intro) of Yuuka Kazami's Stage 5 boss theme, "Sleeping Terror".

Fandom

  • She is believed to be one of the hardest bosses in the entire series. Even ZUN has referred to her as "the most terrible, most fearful boss" in the music comments. ZUN's remarks were made before Mystic Square and the Windows games, but considering how bullets were harder to see in the PC-98 and other player-unfriendly quirks, this claim may remain uncontested.
    • The optional timeout phase of her last attack pattern has been given the nickname "Gengetsu Rape Time" by western players because of its extremely fast and very-hard to dodge bullets.
  • In some instances, Gengetsu (along with her sister Mugetsu) have been shown with Nue Houjuu from Undefined Fantastic Object due to the Extra Stage midboss Mysterious Orb.
  • For some reasons, fans depicted Gengetsu with an insane and bloody personality. Many fans compare her with Flandre Scarlet for this fact, and in some Fanworks are seen together, sometimes also with Mugetsu.
