4th Wall

I’m sure you can tell this was rushed and not thought through very well. Although the latter part isn’t anything new. It actually sorta looks nice (“nice” meaning “refreshingly different,” not necessarily “better”) when it’s rushed. Where was I going with this? I don’t remember.

  • I expect the hidden endings as well.

    Wait what if the real hidden ending is we’re all living within a fourth wall and we’re just fictional characters existing within…

    Whooooooooooooooa.

  • ⑨th never gets through the fourth wall

  • I love it when they break the fourth wall in anime.

    Ex: Hayate no Gotoku

  • lolwut, this comment never happened either.

  • I’ma break through the 4th Wallfas now!

  • I’d rather break the ⑨th wall.

  • I may be not real? Wow, last night’s LOST was confusing enough Kriby, I don’t need to be analyzing fourth walls at this time.

  • I BET ALICE IS PULLING ALL THE STRINGS

    Also yeah Paper Mario is notorious for busting the fourth wall. As far as I can tell, they’ve never done it in Touhou, though.

  • Akumu- You do realize you’ve been here before, right?

    So, anyways, 4th wall? I’d rather break the ⑥th* wall.

  • before you break the 4th wall..dont forget to put everything but yourself in a black and white freeze frame

  • @Akiraita: The 4th wall is at least broken in SubAn Extra, where before fighting Koishi that it’s the extra stage for after you beat the game and Marisa wonders who started that.

  • Yeah, and in IN’s final stage B, Yukari wonders if Reimu is obsessed with danmaku shooters

  • Also, the SA MAlice Stage 2 has a not-explicit-but-close-enough 4th wall breaking where they talk about “floors” in a dungeon.

    (copypasta’d from the wiki)
    Marisa: How many floors to go until we’re underground?
    Alice: There aren’t any “floors” in a cave.
    Marisa: Really? I thought places like dungeons always had floors.
    blah blah blah Parsee appears
    Marisa: That means you’re the boss of the dungeon, right?
    Parsee: I wouldn’t recommend that you treat going underground like a game. You might be trying to get experience points, but you’ll just be wasting time in the end.
    words words words Parsee is defeated
    Marisa: It’s nice that the dungeon was so short.

  • NoWaiThatsImpossible:O

    Yukari is being lazy again D:?

  • Also in EoSD: final stage with Reimu
    Sakuya: I’ve got to at least make you waste a bomb before the mistress gets mad at me~”

  • I always thought Perfect Cherry Blossom: Reimu’s Extra dialogue with Ran before the battle and Story of Eastern Wonderland: Reimu’s Extra dialogue with Rika were 4th Wall breaking.

    Perfect Cherry Blossom

    Reimu: Repairing the border between the Netherworld and our world…
    And… Come to think of it, for that to happen… I’ve got to talk to your master.
    Ran: My master is hibernating.
    Reimu: Then wake her up.
    Ran: I am also her guardian. I have no intention of allowing troublemakers to meet with my master. Now, you will meet your end at the hands of a strengthened Chen…
    Reimu: If you mean that cat, I met her just now…
    Ran: You did?
    How did that go?
    Reimu: It was nothing special. I mean, she’s still a Stage 2 boss after all.

    Story of Eastern Wonderland

    Rika: It’s been a while.
    Reimu: From the first level…?
    Rika: You remember, then?
    Reimu: Small Fry.
    Rika: I’m a boss!!
    Reimu: Well, I can’t remember your name if I’ve never heard it.
    Rika: I am Rika. Remember it from now on. If you’d chased me when I ran before, you would’ve been crushed by the might of my Flying Tank, Evil Eye Sigma!!
    Reimu: Sheesh, you’ve really got a thing for tanks!
    Rika: Well, yeah. I’m a tank engineer.
    Reimu: Anyway, after you ran away, I went on to Level 2.

    Hax Sign 「BREAK 4TH WALL」

  • @Mariku: =O

    New Hax Sign card!

  • Well, yeah, I haven’t played many Touhou games (EoSD and PCB) and I’m bad at both. Anyway, I just wanted to see if you guys would bring any up.

    More than likely, if you want to find a fourth wall breaking, you use Reimu on the Extra stage. At least that’s what I can tell.

  • Hooray! I am through the 4th wall! ~Smash~ Great.. Now it’s the fifth wall… Is there even such a thing? And what IS the fourth wall anyway??

  • fma doujin preview

    [ ed is in a bunny pj costume]

    ed: at least no one can see this…

    envy: actually, they can.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    now for something off topic, I PLANNED FOR A NEW TOUHOU GAME!!!!!!!!!!!

    it’s called ” touhou otomegoroshihen ” or touhou maiden killing chapter. it’s english title is artificial slaughterer. [ the 1st I in artificial between T and F, the I is dotted with the homunculus mark ]

    it’s a touhou/fma crossover

    stage 1: my OC aruko

    stage 2: my OC kion

    stage 3: my OC surota

    stage 4: barry the chopper

    stage 5: my OC slaughter [insane surota]

    stage 6: the daughters of sin [stakes of purgatory in umineko]

    extra stage: aruko in alice mode [killing aruko

    phanasem stage: adult aruko alice

    gate hidden stage: envy

    playable charas: reimu,marisa,remilia,sakuya,koishi,parsee,sanae,yukari,youmu,yuyuko,
    koakuma,flandre,rumia,cirno,alice,patchouli,tenshi,iku,suika,aya,nitori,
    hina,mima,kaguya,tewi,reisen,mokou, and komachi.

    which dialouge do you want to see first?

    pick 1 playable chara and 1 stage [1st to gate hidden]

    also, a chibi mode [the charas are in chibi form in that and nothing else changes]

  • @MasterBurner

    In theater, there are three visible walls, being to the right and left of the stage and the back wall. Aside from that, there is traditionally a imaginary “fourth wall” between the stage and the house (where the people sit). The players are never supposed to interact or even acknowledge the audience is there.

    “Breaking the fourth wall” means recognizing, talking to, or otherwise interacting with your audience, normally for comedic effect. This also means in a game referring to game mechanics.

    “Breaking the ⑨th wall” then logically means that Cirno just did a stage dive.

  • Woahh.

    Something is different.
