スカーレットランラン |
Ranran Higami (緋神 乱々) is the stage 1 midboss and boss.
Concept
Ranran is based on the hihi, a type of mountain-dwelling monkey youkai said to eat human flesh and laugh with a high-pitched "hihi" sound. Clothes dyed red with a hihi's blood are said to never fade. Accounts of capturing a hihi exist in Echigo and Izu Provinces (now Niigata and part of Shizuoka Prefecture, respectively).
Real-life baboons are also called "hihi" in Japanese, albeit in katakana (ヒヒ).
- Name
Her surname is composed of the kanji hi (緋), meaning "scarlet," and kami (神), meaning "god." Her given name is composed of the kanji ran (乱), meaning "disorder" or "confusion," and the iteration mark "々", which indicates that the preceding kanji should be repeated.

Stage 1 Boss - The Scarlet Magic Monkey Ranran Higami Species: Hihi Youkai running rampant in Gensokyo #1. She was once a vicious youkai who loved fresh, red blood. However, ever since the youkai bigwigs announced some years ago that it was forbidden to eat humans en masse, she changed jobs to sate her heart's hunger by running a dye shop (specializing in red). In the midst of the time-stopping incident, she's gotten a swelled head thanks to being one of the youkai who were mysteriously unaffected... |

Chii Shirobakama (白袴 ちい) is the stage 2 midboss and boss.
Concept
Chii is based on the folk tale Chii-chii bakama/Chii-chii kobakama ("The Teeny Tiny Hakamas") from the island of Sado in Niigata Prefecture. In it, an old woman is continually bothered at night by a pack of tiny hakama-wearing men, which are implied to be the spirits of the many toothpicks she'd carelessly discarded under the floor.
- Name
Her surname is composed of the kanji shiro (白), meaning "white," and hakama (袴). Her given name is derived from the childish phrase chii-chii (ちいちい), meaning "tiny."

気高き翠の |
Hikariko Aosagi (青鷺 ひかり子) is the stage 3 midboss and boss.
Concept
Hikariko is based on the aosagibi (lit. "blue heron fire"), a youkai that takes the form of a heron made of ghostly blue flame, as well as the social networking service Twitter. Legends of the aosagibi exist in various parts of Japan, including the island of Sado in Niigata Prefecture.
Her character is a pastiche of antisocial Twitter users, otaku and chuunibyou. As well as being related to her nature as a youkai of will-o'-wisps, her swamp motif may also be drawn from use of the word doronuma (泥沼 lit. "bog," "quagmire" etc.) to refer to situations, interests or communities-- particularly internet communities-- that are hard to get oneself out of.
Her connection to swamps may also be partly related to the Buddhist temple Shinju-in (真珠院 lit. "Pearl hall") in Izu Province (now part of Shizuoka Prefecture). Associated with the temple is a historical tale of Yaehime (八重姫), who threw herself into the Shinjugafuchi pond (真珠ヶ淵) following a tragic romance with Minamoto no Yoritomo.
- Name
Her surname is composed of the kanji ao (青), meaning "blue," and sagi (鷺), meaning "heron." Her given name is composed of the word "hikari" (meaning "light") written in hiragana, and ko (子), meaning "child."
Her name is also partly inspired by the fan character Hikaruko Hasunuma (蓮沼ひかる子), a humanoid version of one of the giant toads in the Giant Toad's Pond.[2] She and other obscure fan characters made appearances in an early video series by Milka Oyasu, the writer for HSoB.

Stage 4 Midboss & Boss - Tweet Master of Mysterious Power Priest Shiran (full name: Shiran Tokujakubou) Species: Luan A high-level bird youkai referred to as "our Priest" (上人さま) by the bosses we've met so far. The culprit who's directly responsible for the current incident is a fellow Chirpizen of hers, who she met via the SNS "Chirper" that Hikariko also uses. (Making posts on Chirper is known as "Chirping", and users of the service are known as "Chirpizens".) The culprit discussed the incident plan with Shiran over DCs (Direct Chirpages), and after coming to understand the situation, Shiran volunteered her support. Bolstering her own reputation made up about half of her motivation. Of course, she knew that simply stopping Gensokyo's time wouldn't be enough of a precaution against the infamous red shrine maiden, who had a near-perfect track record of subduing masterminds and resolving dangerous incidents, or the terrifying beings that lent the shrine maiden their support.. Thus, while the culprit was stopping time and achieving her objective, Shiran got the culprit to protect her and her band of youkai from the spell's effect. In the event that the time freeze failed to stop the shrine maiden, they would draw her attention and buy the culprit more time. The plan seemed perfect. She hardly anticipated that the Chirper network's presence would come back to bite her after the shrine maiden beat her up, nor that it would snowball all the way into revealing the mastermind's involvement... nanmaida, nanmaida...

Plays guitar in the youkai rock band Choujuu Gigaku. You might be wondering why the heck she's even out here, but apparently it's because this game's final boss is a regular patron of Choujuu Gigaku's live concerts. The culprit was kind enough to unfreeze her via time-control magic, so she ran right on over to help-- completely forgetting about the blazing midday sun that serves as her worst enemy. |

Stage 5 Boss - Furious, Four-Limbed Holy Relic General Set Species: Relic Explaining her whole deal is kind of a pain, but to make a long story short, she's basically Egypt's resident wrathful god, Set. Set's war for succession against Horus includes a list of unseemly behaviour a mile long, so readers may feel free to research the exact details at their own discretion. At any rate, even after losing and being dismembered, he planned to strike back at Horus's side by stealing a particular item from them-- namely, the Book of Thoth. A text filled with the wisdom and magic power of its namesake, who stands as a powerful ally of Horus and the strongest intellect in all of Egyptian mythology. Having escaped to Gensokyo (in limb form) with the Book of Thoth, Set sought out a pawn for his revenge plot: Horou Torisumi, the final boss of this game. Horou happened to be a youkai of the same species as Thoth, which meant that she had the potential to use the arcane magics recorded in Thoth's book. One might call that a bit of a stretch, but that's basically how the incident in TLC happened back in the day too. Thus, Horou was swayed to cooperate with Set, and used a spell to freeze time on an utterly massive scale. Buuuut that's exactly the kind of thing that's followed by the arrival of a veteran shrine maiden/magician/maid/etc. who can defeat even gods. |

Stage 6 Boss - Jehuti of the Far East Horou Torisumi Species: Crested ibis A youkai bird of the same species as the god Thoth, who governs the flow of time and boasts the most powerful intellect in all of Egyptian mythology. For Horou, a member of a proud species that once covered the Outside World's whole sky, the isolated skies of Gensokyo felt terribly cramped. She was sure that she had died-- so why did she now find herself here? Why couldn't she leave, no matter how far she flew and flew? It was right around then that she bumped into a strange pot and set of limbs-- General Set-- from whom she received the power to do just that. Namely, the spells in the Book of Thoth, and a giant gold tower-- the Kinjutou-- that would amplify those spells. By freezing time across the whole word, the mysterious barrier that covered Gensokyo would stop working, and she would be free to return to the outside and search for her friends. (Also, should the plan have succeeded, Set intended to disappear without telling Horou how to deactivate the spell.) Though Set intended for the time freeze to reach all the way to Egypt, it never actually made it outside of Gensokyo in the first place, since it had been cast from within the "Great Hakurei Barrier" that separates Gensokyo from the outside. One might expect Set to freakin' clue in a little faster, but he was about as smart as a bad guy from a children's book to begin with. Readers may feel free to research the exact details of Egyptian mythology at their own etc. etc. etc. In the end, Set fled after the incident, and Horou received a super-harsh scolding from Gensokyo's administrators. Since she still had the Book of Thoth with her, they took it away and burned it. |

Mumei Fujitsubo (藤壺 無名異) is the Extra Stage boss.
Concept
Like her incarnation as General Set in Stage 5, Mumei is based on the Seto-Taisho, a youkai first depicted by Toriyama Sekien in Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro.
- Name
Her full name is Mumei Fujitsubo (藤壺 無名異). "無名異" (Mumei) is taken from Mumyoui pottery (無名異焼き), a type of pottery traditionally from Sado, Niigata. The kanji used literally mean "nameless" and "strange/different".
"藤壺" (Fujitsubo) literally means "wisteria jar" and is taken from the name of Lady Fujitsubo (as well as the title of Chapter 1) in The Tale of Genji.

○EX面ボス (無名のビーイング) 藤壺無名異(ふじつぼ むめい) 改めての話であるが、妖怪は、神様とその性質を紙一重としている。 そんな彼女が、セトからの提案を魅力的に感じないわけが無かった。 霊夢も魔理沙も、生きようと、そして楽しもうとしているのだから。 |
Extra Stage Boss - (Nameless Being) Mumei Fujitsubo Species: Seto-taishou The jar youkai whose body General Set borrowed. Though this may be reiterating things you've already heard, youkai and gods are two sides of the same coin. As such, she did feel some attraction to Set's proposal. After all, Reimu and Marisa are dead-set on living, and having the best time they can while doing it. There's no victory in sight for those who've forgotten how to enjoy life. None of the "true strength" that Mumei sought. |
○おまけ EXボス戦で初登場した謎の影 カラツちゃん(仮) |
Bonus - Mystery shadow who first appears in the EX boss fight "Karatsu-chan" (provisional name) Species: Seto-taishou(?) If a Seto-taishou is a youkai born from Seto pottery, who says Karatsu pottery can't become a youkai too? That's what Karatsu-chan was. |
