Koakuma in extra?

I looked in a replay, played in extra stage and I do not see her. Post proof if you got it. MaronaPossessed 18:14, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

You're right. She's not in it. Just bombed all the way through that danmaku and didn't even see her.
Interesting trivia to note though is that there is a sprite for her in the Extra stage enemy sprite sheet.

That could go in EoSD's Misc section. - Kiefmaster99 19:55, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
That is interesting...I wonder if it's suitable for a funfact here on her page MaronaPossessed 21:31, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
Her on the sprite sheet is more character specific, so it fits this page better than the EOSD misc. section.--Umhyuk 21:34, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHmzO2RI1fs Ah, sorry, actually, in retrospect, I THOUGHT I saw her at the 1:09 to 1:12 mark (it's easiest to make out the sprite under all that danmaku in the 1:11'th second right before whatever it is dies), but actually, that might just be a fairy instead (it must be one heck of a fairy to put up a danmaku fight like that, though). I'm not sure. The outline of the sprite still looks like Koakuma to me after I've stared hard enough at it to make my eyes start aching. I'd go back to play through there and bomb it myself, but I don't have EOSD on this comp --TiamatRoar 23:34, September 10, 2010

She is one of normal-enemy class (not boss-class) characters. There are many such characters, and they are not given any special role in the story.

That's interesting, 1)Does anyone have a source of Zun saying that confirming it's "canon" 2)Does that mean Koakuma is not a mid-boss then? Berzul (talk) 10:47, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

ZUN's former blog "Touhou Shofu" 6 2004-01-12. Untranslated, so I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct passage, but it's definitely relevant. Arcorann (talk) 01:17, 28 August 2012 (EDT)
Regarding that source, the answer to Berzul's second question is: No, she is a mid-boss. She's just not a boss (mid-boss ∈ normal enemy, in this context).--Doncot (talk) 05:18, 28 August 2012 (EDT)


Koakuma Name.

Koakuma shares similarity to the Devil and succubus; Agrat bat Mahlat. who is known as the "the dancing roof-demon." which is a hobby of Koakuma. she is also "the mistress of the sorceresses." which is koakuma job. the similarity's stop there, but it may be enough to draw a link or mention.
