This is the first official ''Touhou Project'' work that does not bear the kanji {{nihongo|Touhou|東方}} in its title. The Japanese part of the title starts with {{nihongo|"[[danmaku]]"|弾幕}}, referring to the main theme of the game, while {{nihongo|[[Amanojaku]]|アマノジャク}} refers to the playable character's species: [[Seija Kijin]].
This is the first official ''Touhou Project'' game that does not bear the kanji {{nihongo|Touhou|東方}} in its title (but not the first work overall as most CD titles also don't use the kanji). The Japanese part of the title starts with {{nihongo|"[[danmaku]]"|弾幕}}, referring to the main theme or genre of the game, while {{nihongo|[[Amanojaku]]|アマノジャク}} refers to the playable character's species: [[Seija Kijin]]. The term "Impossible Spell Card" is describing what the game is about: dodging danmaku that's considered ''impossible'', but are actually possible since there's a trophy that can be achieved if clearing all [[spell card]]s without "cheating".

Later on however, the [[tengu]] have taken notice and have written up a newspaper about her mischief, which causes stronger [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and capture her. [[Shinmyoumaru Sukuna]] confronts Seija and declares that she ought to return the remainder of the Mallet's magic and that they've lost the war that occurred during ''Double Dealing Character''. Seija, believing that using her cheating magic to conquer [[Gensokyo]], Shinmyoumaru states that they ought to surrender because she has had enough. Since Seija goes against her will, Shinmyoumaru goes against Seija and gets others to capture her.
 
In the end, it's revealed that Seija has lost all of her allies, but it's nothing to worry about because the [[amanojaku]] can never really make friends anyway.
