A twisted person, and the true mastermind behind the uprising of youkai. Herself convinced of an outrageous wrong suffered by youkai, and a rebel by nature, she convinced the little princess to stage a revolution to turn society on its head, hoping for a radical change.
Of course, even that will not necessarily satisfy her. As long as something is, she must go against it.

I don't get that pose. Looks painful to do it too long in real life.
Also, are those horns sticking out of her head? And that upsidedown bow is epic.

After seeing the fangames where they have characters that screw with the controls (Mitori comes to mind) I really didn't think that the actual Touhou would go there. And then it went there
Whyyyyy

1518967

I am utterly indifferent towards this individual of outward opposition.

1518931 She looks like she'd be Satan to try and defeat. Is she final bossasaurus?

1519124
She's some kind of not-human not-Oni, so that's why she has horns.
Seija may very well be my favorite character from this game!
...if Shinmyomaru doesn't catch up.
EDIT: HOW could I forget about Kage and Seki-chan?!

1519202
Very well...

1519238
Stage 5.
And yes, she is hard to beat on your first attempt.
...once I tried her Cards in Spell Practice, I beat most of them immediately.

1518931

I'm fine with it, I do them in order only so I can keep track(Writes down note to do Lunarians from Silent Sinner in Blue after Imperishable Night characters are done), but if you want to do some, it's fine by me. The whole point of these is to keep the group lively. Plus the characters from the new game seem interesting.

1519124

My arm started to feel numb after a few seconds trying to do that.

1519649
Okay then.
Have you played it yet?

1519846

Nope, not yet. I'm waiting for the English patch. But I don't mind spoilers. Knew most of the characters before playing the games, and I like going "Ooohhh....This part is fanon." and "Ah, ok. Well, I can see where that idea came from"

How bout you, played it yet?

1520038
...you can read off Touhou Wiki, you know?

Yes, I've played it.
I did REALLY WELL at the last three stages.
I find the game to be more gimmicky than Subterranean Animism!
I had fun, nonetheless.

1520075

Oh, I do read off it, but it's different. Say for example the wiki says Cirno has a childish personality
Reading that and reading "I'll cryo-freeze you with a side of english beef!"

or Marissa is a liar or play and read "[the Daidarabotchi] went underground" *Cirno leaves for underground* *Marrisa gets up* "Well, that was a complete lie!"

So more gimmicky? Thought is was going to be more retroish and play like EOSD, but good to hear it's fun. And it's good to hear you did well by the end

1520278
It's the mechanics that's being retro, not the Danmaku and their side effects.
Hence...Seija.

Also, did you not catch my sarcasm?
Or did you ignore it? That is fine though.

Also, I meant that you could play the game and then proceed to read the dialog and the spell Card names off the Wiki so that you know what's happening.

1520476

ahhh....Did not catch the sarcasm...

That could work, ok it can work, plus, well, I don't have to wait that way...

Ok, you've talked me into it

1520885
That happens.
Have fun~!

Also, I seem to be one of the few people in the fandom who know every character in the series.
I AM THE TOUHOU SAVANT!
From Shingyoku to Shinmyoumaru, indeed.
Also, Seihou.

1524731

Cool! I always get mixed up on some, or end up with something like Shinji Ya-ba-daba-doo... But for the most part, I can remember most of the first names.

Ah, and Seihou too? How'd those games play?

1525960
Thank you. But for the most part, you just need to love their names.
I'm a fairly book-smart person, so I remember most things English and Japanese.

The first game, Shuusou Gyoku plays out like a mix of EoSD and Mystic Square(Th05) with a very small hitbox and priority on reaction-time based patterns.
...the majority of the fundamental soundtrack is kind of...bad.
The arranges though, are pretty excellent.

The second game, Kioh Gyoku, plays out like Phantasmagoria of Dimensional Dream, featuring a much better soundtrack, the bosses of the previous game as playable characters and the surprise cameo of Kazami Yuuka as another playable character.
The game also features the shield— your health to the extent that when it reaches zero, the next hit you take will end you. The shield regenerates.

The third and final game plays out like EoSD/PCB/IN with improved graphics and more gimmicks with an additional combat phase which are pretty much Spell Cards.(Unless my memory fails me.)

The first game is fairly easy on Hard mode in comparison to some of the early Touhou games.
...at least on my computer which has a tendency to slow down games by 1/3.

EDIT: Again, you can read off the Touhou Wiki to know what they are saying.

Oh, and for backstories:
The Seihou universe takes place on Earth in an unknown future; broken and savaged by humans.
Some people are suffering, desperately trying to live on a planet which is starting to fall apart.

A corporation was started to attempt to build back the Earth(or so I think) by using a strange new type of cactus energy; the Saboten Energy.
Later, there was an accident which blew up a great part of the laboratories and proceeded to drag with it the daughter of the man behind it all into another dimension, stripping her of her identity in the process.
The man, Erich, losing both his daughter and half of his body had sworn he would rescue her, creating robotic incantations made for combat and waiting patiently for the day to arrive for one of them to finally break his daughter free.

In the present day, one of the robotic maids, VIVIT is told by her unknown master to go on a vague errand, whereas she proceeds to get attacked by multiple strangers. VIVIT must can't do anything by continue on.
That story is kind of strange.

In the third game, machines have suddenly started acting aggressive, including her master(because h's a cyborg). She has to head out and fix the problem, naturally.

Found this, seems like a useful "Rage" reaction image

I see.

Interesting point to bring up. If seija does everything that everyone (or say the majority of everyone) does backwards, you could also say she would love that which everyone hates correct?

This would mean that there would be a love pairing for her in Satori Komeiji. :D

1626926
That is... interesting.
