Touhou 17 onwards establish that:-Hell is based around monetary currency-The authorities are broke and seek out various sources of income-Even the yama, the one who is meant to be crystal clear with right and wrong can be bought if you have enough money as they weight out your sins.inb4 Komachi takes coins for ferry serviceSymbolic use of money does not equal actual need for mortal's cash by oni, gods and such kinds.With that said, Touhou had concluded in 2015, end of story.

>>50968907I never really understood how or why living people would just go to a road on the Sanzu river and chill out with dead spirits hawking stuff (I also find it hard to imagine dead spirits having stuff that people would want to buy). seems like something that that'd be a throwaway gag in a comedy manga rather than actually being canon. maybe ZUN took things less seriously back then
The Touhou games I like are canon, the ones you like are non-canon simple as

>>509671622hu Character profileName: ZUNSpecies: BeermanPower: Retconing anything across timeA silly guy always wearing a silly hat. Despite being so carefree in writing he's hard to use as a character due to his inward nature. This is the kind of contradictory nature present in Touhou.In other words when a fan(victim) looks at something new he wrote that contradicts previous knowledge the fan will start seeing that those retcons traveled through time and also changed the previous works, leaving the poor human bewildered and confused.Since time and space are one and the same, retcons happen in the shape of printworks which may also include things the victim knew for sure weren't there before.It is more a power like Req**em rather than Keine's I would say. It just works.Of course the Mandela effect is the work of mystic powers and not something as mundane as memory loss or ignorance (^^;;About the species: If a human is someone made of approximately 70% water then a beerman is someone made of approximately 5% alcohol.
>>50970640It was a different era.Back then, human villagers could travel all across Gensokyo, developed their own unique fashions, could hire Wriggle for insect-related services (not useful ones), would challenge Meiling to sparring matches (frequent occurrence), regularly went fishing at the Misty Lake (and actually catch something), and casualty sell stuff to youkai who would openly visit the village at night.Obviously this was too interesting a setting so it couldn't last.
