I have the last partner!

But she will not be coming with me on this stage.

STAGE 7: Scarlet Devil Castle - Cherry Blossom Spire

This is EASILY the longest stage in the game! It is also close to last.

This is one of the nastier new enemies! The top half spews leaf bullets, while the bottom half attacks with giant tree arms. Patchouli's barrier is a huge help.

Wizards are no problem if you get the jump on them!

Hey, remember these things from stage 1? These ones actually do something!

They shoot spores.

These guys are annoying because they can sometimes block attacks, and it's not QUITE clear when. It tends to lead to getting hit here and there.

Warlocks all over the goddamn place!

More angelic armors! Reimu is the best way to deal with these things.

An easier way to deal with sporemonsters!

ENOUGH WITH THE WARLOCKS ALREADY

One ominous climb later...

And we're at the summit!

It looks like this time, the Scarlet Devil Castle was created to contain the Saigyou Ayakashi...

Yuyuko Saigyouji
Voice: Hekiru Shiina

Ehehe...

Of course. This must be your doing, Yuyuko Saigyouji.

The seal is nearly open... wouldn't you like to see it bloom?

I'd love to, but my mistress is waiting up ahead.

Ah, too bad. In that case, why don't you give your all in water the saigyou ayakashi?
With that deep, deep red water...

Here she comes!

BOSS BATTLE
Sakuya VS Yuyuko

Yes, this is the Death fight.

Just because this fight has a more relaxed atmosphere doesn't mean I can let my guard down! These butterflies move in strange, curving patterns, making them surprisingly hard to dodge.

While I dodge her normal attacks, five ghostly streams are following me in the background...

...and when they converge, a painful butterflysplosion!

Around which time Yuyuko decides that enough is enough, and stops fooling around.

INCOMING SPELL CARD

AAAAAAAAHHH

As far as I know, the very corners while crouching are the only place that's truly safe from this card... and even then, only if she isn't too close.

Between hits of the butterfly grenade, I can get a lot of cuts in...

Almost done!

Just gotta get back into range...!

In my eagerness, I get hit by the lasers here...

...and THIS is how close it brings me to defeat.

But I won!

Hehehe... it's all coming together, bit by bit.

......?

By the bloodshed and deaths of this ongoing battle, the saigyou ayakashi grows larger and larger. And then...
...it can be presented to your mistress.
