* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Following Marco's death, Bunroku washes up on some island which is some sort of detainment for those who mess with history. Bunroku is forced to accept his captor's "hospitality" ending into a tiny, shared Japanese bathtub, where he soon goes insane, declaring "this is not Japan" and leaving him screaming for his mommy in the style of Creator/EdvardMunch's famous "Art/{{The Scream|Munch}}".]]

* DoubleMeaning: A hilariously catastrophic example bordering on {{Pun}}. When Bunroku [[spoiler:activates his controller to summon the Kami Kaze, a strong wind intended to take down an invading fleet of ships, the time machine's control somehow malfunctions and insteads sends a kamizake airplane squad from WWII, who gun down everything in sight leading to the DownerEnding]].

Added DiffLines:

* RefugeInAudacity: Jesus divekicks Bunroku while still attached to the cross.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainProtagonist: In a way, Bunroku is the villain of the story, messing up with history to [[spoiler: prevent the invasion of ancient Japan from outside forces ensuring its future prosperity. Even though this can paint him as a WellIntentionedExtremist, the game makes it clear this is his own personal experiment done on a whim.]] Although the game is so chaotic and comedic in tone, [[spoiler: and Bunroku's inability to escape karma for his actions]] that it somewhat lessens the effect.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


Despite the fact that the title has "Touhou (東方)" on it, [[NamesTheSame it hasn't any relation]] to the [[Franchise/TouhouProject ZUN's long-running video game franchise]]. This is an actual Japanese word meaning "Eastern" [[AlternateCharacterReading which can also be read]] as "Higashikata".
