* Dream Mode itself can be this, given it lets you pick any six girls (that aren't Akyuu) and have them be part of the story from Chapter 1 onward. Want to undo the injustice of Mima being [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Chuck'd]] in canon and have her haunting Hakurei Shrine like she was after ''Story of Eastern Wonderland''? You can do that. Want to make the entire storyline take place after the Three Fairies' first few manga and have them start out as Reimu's pets/tenants? Sure thing! Want to lean into the popular fanon of Yuuka and Mima being best friends, making the former Marisa's HonoraryAunt and thus more interested in helping her FamilyOfChoice out? Absolutely! Think Shinki and Yumeko should've been a bit more interested in visiting Alice, resulting in them getting sucked into the plot much earlier than the last game? Show Remilia what a '''''real''''' demon is like! Want to create time paradox shenanigans by having "The Eight Protagonists" (Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Youmu, Reisen, Aya, Sanae, and Cirno) all together as a team from the word go? Have at it! Want to fulfill your personal {{OTP}} preferences and have your three favorite pairings fly into battle together? Go nuts! You can even completely bork the plot and have Meeko and Makura show up well before Shiro the Kedama approaches Marisa, which also unlocks a chance to activate the true postgame storyline. Much like [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate choosing the three warriors to face Galeem and Dharkon]], the possibilities are nearly endless.

* Chapter 29M from You sees Marisa, having accidentally trespassed into Old Hell, running away from Satori, with the rest of the team cut off from her by a group of spirits. Satori, in a bit of CruelMercy, plucks a memory from Marisa to kill her with, which manifests as an image of a familiar vengeful spirit... only for said spirit to suddenly appear out of nowhere and blow the pale imitation to pieces. A remix of ''Reincarnation'' kicks in as Mima reveals herself, telling Marisa to leave while she deals with the riff-raff. And given we meet her again much later looking none the worse for wear, she apparently took on Satori, Orin, (pre-Yatagarasu) Utsuho, and a legion of Old Hell's finest, and cleaned their clocks offscreen without so much as a scratch.

* Chapter 76. Reimu and Marisa use Shin - Trichromatic Lotus Butterfly for the first time to defeat Meeko once and for all - a combo platter of most of Reimu and Marisa's most powerful attacks. Starting with ofuda, lasers, needles and alchemical bombs, they then follow up with a barrage of Spell Cards, starting with Reimu's Omnidirectional Dragon-Slaying Circle, and Marisa follows up with Orreries Sun. After flying further into the sky, they follow up with Fantasy Nature and Blazing Star, before neatly wrapping things up with the very first spell cards they use in the story- Fantasy Seal and Master Spark, respectively. Gensokyo's dynamic duo unleashes everything they have and puts the dream sheep into the dirt. And this is after Meeko overloaded herself with some of Makura's power, making her functionally a baku in her own right and thus extremely powerful in the Dream World.

** Much Ghostly Wheel Concerto Grosso: Revised, Fantasy Maiden Wars is an ally spellcard that covers the entire map- its effects are actually similar to the former, but ''amplified''. All units gain +150 max SP and Power, and are instantly healed up to max. Additionally, [[LimitBreak Full Power Mode]] usage is recovered at the start of every turn while Fantasy Maiden Wars is active.

* Chapter 76.

** Chapter 39M is no slouch either. After an argument with Mima, Marisa is left doubting herself and her magic, causing her Hakkero to malfunction (Gameplay-wise, she reverts to her Chapter 1 moveset) and as a result ends up being knocked out by an ambush from Tewi's forces. As the team are being overwhelmed by Tewi's forces who are attempting to capture the unconscious Marisa, Marisa remembers what she wanted from her magic, reaffirms her resolve and [[HeroicSecondWind she gets up]], [[CameBackStrong stronger than ever]], and wipes the floor with the Rabbit mooks surrounding the party using her empowered magic as the upgraded Marisa's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k_n-HVpVBA Stardust Hero]], begins to play. As the final rabbit general is left on the ropes, Marisa mops things up by unleashing one final spell she thought up to try to impress Mima: Blazing Star, her Last Word from ''[=IN=]''.

* Chapter 40 sees Marisa, having accidentally trespassed into Old Hell, running away from Satori, with the rest of the team cut off from her by a group of spirits. Satori, in a bit of CruelMercy, plucks a memory from Marisa to kill her with, which manifests as an image of a familiar vengeful spirit... only for said spirit to suddenly appear out of nowhere and blow the pale imitation to pieces.

* Chapter 49. Reimu's first activation of Fantasy Nature. To make a modern comparison, Reimu effectively enters [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Ultra Instinct]] and proceeds to blink around the map, [[CurbStompBattle oneshots every Moon Rabbit she lands on]] so quickly they don't even get an attack animation, then hits Yorihime - a powerful demigod princess who soundly trounced her in canon - with enough force that it ''slaps her HP down into the red''. If Marisa hadn't shaken her out of it before she could take a second swing, she may well have laid Yorihime out flat, too! It brings into perspective Yukari's earlier statement that Reimu's new gohei is a ''dampening'' focus, meant to keep her power under control - unrestrained, she can fight the franchise's ultraweight characters on even ground. Fantasy Nature is so powerful its theme music overrides everything, even [[FinalBoss Makura's]] various themes.

* Chapter 70. Meeko has the crew cornered and is threatening to kill Eirin. Yorihime makes her back down using Hino Kagutsuchi - Flame. Meeko sends some of her sheep to kill Lily White, which Rei'sen intercepts with Bullet Strike. Meeko then summons a whole herd of sheep. Toyohime shows up and wipes them all off the map with her Wave Fan. The entire experience, plus Yorihime's outright death threats for harming Eirin, utterly terrifies Meeko, giving her PTSD that ends up actively altering the scenario during the post-game gaiden chapters when her fear of the sisters causes their Dream Soul copies to become extra-strength aggressive.

* Chapter 10 in Kou. Yuuka stops by to watch the team fight the Scarlet Devil Mansion crew, and also check on her servants Elly and Kurumi. Marisa, Alice, and Reimu all remember her instantly, and while Marisa is defiant, Reimu is understandably leery of the second most powerful being she fought as a child. But the real zinger is what happens if Yuuka notices Marisa attacking her with Master Spark, a spell of ''her'' creation, and one she never named herself. Amused but unimpressed, Yuuka casually blocks the giant laser with her parasol, then folds it shut and returns fire with '''''the original Master Spark''''', a blow guaranteed to either [[OneHitKill put Marisa in the dirt]] or leave her hanging on by a thread. That said, if you manage to knock down the Flower Master of Four Seasons, she'll drop her Sunflower item and reward her opponent with a massive amount of experience points, almost certainly worth multiple levels.
