Status

  • My new job is killing me. I've little time to spend on my laptop these days... Yeah, life sucks :(
  • Working on SoPM translation whenever I have time (and don't take that for me saying 'farewell ko wiki' for quite a while).

Deathsoul4(IPA: dɛθsəʊl4, Japanese: 死魂(Shikon), Korean: 사혼(Sa'hon)Storm, or more preferably, DeltaSierra4, is an editor in Touhou Wiki who is currently active in Touhou Wiki and a few Korean fanbases. He dabbles in translation, sometimes writes fan-fiction (only in real-life; he never posts them on the internet as of February 2011), and does random work on Touhou Wiki such as tidying up redirects.

About me

Name

By now this username should reflect DS4's great interest and like in Yuyuko and Youmu. Yuyuko's power of death and Youmu's power of soul, then combine the two - Deathsoul. Add Komachi's presence to this - You add a 4(死) at the end, and bingo: DS4. Coincidence or not, DS4's pseudonym in Korean websites happen to have the same initials as Deathsoul4: DS4, from Darksky. Actually its meaning is not that deep...... It's simply a literal translation of his current account group in a certain Korean Touhou fanbase, as you'll find out as you read on. Dunno why I added the number 4 there though......

DS4 resides in the mid-west of United States and was born in Seoul, RoK(Republic of Korea). Half of his childhood and adolescence was spent in English speaking countries. Though he didn't start playing Touhou until he immigrated to the States, he did enjoy some anime while he was living in RoK. He currently studies Chemistry and often writes fiction (including three poorly written Korean Touhou fan-fiction).

DS4 got a liking to vertical scrolling danmaku games since 1996, but his first favorite game was not Touhou (ironic since 1996 was when ZUN first created HRtP, right?). His earliest favorites were such shooting games like 1943: Battle of Midway and Doom series (now we know why he likes Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row so much).

Personality

Just like some of his favorite characters, namely Yukari Yakumo or Eirin Yagokoro, DS4 has a very enigmatic personality. Generally he maintains a calm mood and a pleasant personality, but has a short-fuse and can get impatient over trivial matter. He likes to go out at night often (probably for drinking) with others but prefers to stay in his room doing work (Wiki or non-Wiki work). [1]
His account name, simply a literal translation of an account group of a certain Korean fanbase, has transpired some misunderstandings about him, such as the misunderstanding that he is a hardcore fan of death metal (though he does say he likes Undead Corporation's music). By account group, he means he is a part of a circle of Korean Touhou fans that share a certain name in their accounts (members of his account group shared the words 사혼 in their account name, and DS4's account was 사혼Storm). The group is still active in the Korean Touhou fanbase, though little is known about this group among the fans.
His other favorite music genres include 90's American rap, opera, jazz&electronica, and Korean traditional music[2] (now that's 0% music compatibility with anyone else I suppose).

Involvement with Touhou

"Two good things I believe I can get out of Touhou: First, the ability to enjoy something in this world at least, and second, the ability to hone my Japanese skills. Trust me, it works." -DS4, to a close friend of his

DS4 started playing Touhou Project around January 2009. His favorite games are listed below:

Touhou Hisoutensoku
The very first fighter type of game in which DS4 took a liking in. He dislikes most of fighter type games like MUGEN, Mortal Kombat, and Tekken vs. Capcom, but, along with Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, DS4 likes Touhou-style fighter games (and that's not because it's the only game in which he can 1LC the entire game in Lunatic against CPU, as his friend likes to joke around).

Imperishable Night
DS4 took a liking to the storyline of this game. Rarely does he read the storyline when playing games, but this one got him! Especially of interest was the fact that Mystia got eaten by Yuyuko in the game storyline (but Mystia reappears in Phantasmagoria of Flower View so he wants some explanation of what happened there).

The Genius of Sappheiros
No need for words: This. Is. DS4's. Most. Favorite. Touhou-related. Game. Ever.

Devil of Decline
Produced by the same game creators of The Genius of Sappheiros. Game advisory - instantaneous addiction effect. Currently playing with Yukari (with all of my first 5 favorite characters in the party!)

Youkai Tan Q Roku and Tendou Blade
Along with The Genius of Sappheiros, games from Tokushu Soukou Tai(特殊装甲隊) are of great interest to him. Unfortunately he hasn't had a chance to play the latest game from them and bids good luck to anyone who's new to challenging games from Tokushu Soukou Tai.

More words on Touhou related games: DS4 thinks that Touhou Soccer 2 is such a cheap game for the CPU, which has infinite guts and can just shut the player out of the game unless the player is able to repeatedly pass the ball in his/her penalty zone forever until the game ends. He thinks that if the CPU were given about twice the amount of guts as given to the player, he would be able to beat the game.

Another game he has suspicion about the cheating AI would be Touhou Hanafuda, in which DS4 believes that the CPU randomly shuffles the deck of cards during gameplay so that the player cannot get the piece that he wants. Of course this is all merely his speculation and who knows?

Relationships

DS4's rank of favorite characters after Anime Central 2012

So far 6 of his most favorite characters have maintained their positions in the long list of Touhou Character DS4 likes. Yukari, Yuyuko, Youmu (commonly noted as the 3Y by DS4) and Yuuka have maintained the top 4 positions, whereas Sakuya and Okuu have always alternated between 5th and 6th, though never below that. Altogether, these six characters are called "the big 6" by DS4.

  1. Yukari Yakumo (ranked #1)
  2. Yuyuko Saigyouji (ranked #1)
  3. Youmu Konpaku (ranked #3)
  4. Yuuka Kazami (ranked #4)
  5. Sakuya Izayoi (ranked #5)
  6. Okuu (ranked #6)

Works

"What else can I do? I suck at danmaku games, I can't sing or produce music well, and I don't have that much of a Touhou music collection. I'm never up to date on stuff so don't rely on me about Touhou gamer information. All I could do is perhaps translate some of the Japanese text so that more people can enjoy the things that I never got to enjoy on the other side of the globe." -DS4 to a fellow Touhou player, while introducing Touhou wiki to him.

Feel free to make requests if you have one (as long as it is Touhou related I'll accept most of them). It's my pleasure to help out with translation if someone is having a struggle or if there is an article that needs to be translated, though I might not be completely useful in all situations, since I am not able to translate all Japanese into English. Sometimes I'm not even able to register a certain single Kanji (Chinese character) used in the text and will not be able to translate the whole sentence! Hopefully that's where other more experienced translators or Japanese typers can help me out and work through the article of interest.

Tasks working on

Translation tasks
  • Symposium of Post Mysticism: Woohoo!
Future possibilities

The following are only stuff that I might get to start (or might not if I don't have time and/or something distracts me again). Might happen or might not happen.

As I do not have much time due to tons of work in real life, it would be a great pleasure if some of you who have lots of free time at hand can help me with the articles.

Additional Information

Trivia

  • Big 6 FTW
  • Although DS4 likes Marisa over Reimu, DS4 sucks at controlling Marisa.
  • DS4 also loves Minecraft (and guess what skin I'm using?) but doesn't play on multiplayers, further making him inaccessible at times online.
  • DS4 believes that listening to Touhou music while driving creates a border surrounding the car--very much like that made by Yukari--which will keep you from getting caught by cops when you're speeding.
  • DS4 is never up to date on anything. He mostly relies on third-hand information for any news!
  • The order of 3Y, in which DS4 is involved, is a group of people who like Yuyuko, Youmu, or Yukari.
  • Contrary to popular belief, DS4 is currently inactive on most Korean-based Touhou fan bases. One of the only few he is currently active in is Tongbangnet (listed above).
    • That said, he has few connections with any Touhou translators from Korea.
  • The only reason DS4 came back to playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was to test out the Touhou mods that have been released.
  • DS4 is afflicted with a curse which prevents him from ever going to Comiket--well, not really a curse but for some reason he is continuously warded off from going to Comiket for various reasons:
    • Comiket 78: Was planning to attend it with some friends, whom all backed out one after another for various reasons (money, time, parents, household duty, etc.)
    • Comiket 79: Was planning to attend it but was out of money and got sick during Winter.
    • Comiket 80: Was planning to attend it but my summer job overlapped with the period. Yay.
    • Comiket 81: Was not planning to attend it until November. By then nobody wanted to go. Yay again.
    • Comiket 82: No, not going. Yay for the third time.
    • Comiket 83: Highly likely not to attend AGAIN. Yay, once and for all.
  • DS4 sets his background image of his laptop to switching among several Touhou background images every hour. So far the most frequently featured character is Momiji, followed closely by Youmu and Reimu.

Wishlists

Just some stuff that DS4 (or his buddies) wishes about Touhou, from the official games to Doujin products, but pretty much pointless and meaningless, as ZUN would say in his Omake texts lol.

  • For TH14 and subsequent series:
    • Make Yuuka become a playable character along with Reimu, Marisa, Sanae, Sakuya, Youmu, and Alice.
    • Bring Mima or Shinki back. Seriously, I'd like to see more PC-98 characters in the latest games.
    • Make Reimu and Marisa become choosable final bosses (like in IN).
    • Renko and Maribel should show up in one of the series.
    • An official game (not the spinoffs like IaMP, SWR, TH, or GFW) in which Marisa is not the game icon (that's sacrilege!).
    • A game where all the bosses are Yukkuris.
    • A game where your objective is not to dodge bullets but to gather them as much as you can. Missing too many bullets will end in losing one life, and grazing will decrease your score! (evil laughter)
  • A Korean Touhou Wiki: No, not like the one they already have over in Korea - a LEGIT Korean Wiki. Might get to host one myself in the future, though it is very very uncertain.
  • A doujin game involving Yukkuri wars. Would love to play something that's a MOD of Starcraft haha
  • An Xbox version of Touhou games.
  • Speaking of Xbox, how about a Touhou mix with Ikaruga? Reimu fires white bullets and Marisa fires black bullets, just press x to flip lol.
  • A game that runs backwards? Think about the movie Memento lol.
  • Life-size replica of Youmu's Roukanken, and I mean a LEGIT one that can really cut down things (might be too dangerous?)
  • A game that involves the death of a Touhou character: Concealed the Conclusion was somewhat dissatisfying... Wanted something like that described by "Touhou Metsubougeki(東方滅亡劇)", translated "The End of Gensokyo", a Korean fan-fiction of Touhou, featuring Marisa. Doesn't have to be an official game (that would be actually tragic), and doesn't have to be a danmaku shooting game.

Notes

1. ^ He also claims that this user page of his is a good test of one's ability to sift through facts and half-truths.
2. ^ Interestingly, DS4 intensely dislikes modern K-pop, though he likes most of the K-pop from the mid 2000's (SG wanna be, Fly to the Sky, Epikhigh, YB... now choose your favorite).
