Touhou Doumeijunote ~ Mystical Power Plant is a Touhou Project fangame whose script was written by Ido and Yuuyu Hatsuke. The demo of the game was released at Comiket 83. It was released in full on March 15, 2013. This game is the sequel to The Last Comer, with some references to it.
The Moriya Shrine's head, Kanako, has brought in a huge tree from the outside world to the Moriya mountain range, with help from a god from the outside world, to serve as a symbol of Gensokyo's newly-founded age of ecology, dubbing said tree "The Life-Guiding Tree". However, during the opening celebration, a strange light suddenly appears in the top boughs of the tree, radiating an unusual power all around it. The Hakurei Shrine miko Reimu, along with Marisa and Sanae of the Moriya Shrine, rush off to investigate the source of this new incident, bringing with them Utsuho, Byakuren, and Kanako respectively to help out finding the culprit behind this new incident.
Mystical Power Plant provides examples of:
- Abnormal Ammo: During Riko Toone's non-spell attacks, she fires off glowstick danmaku. They even bend and sparkle for a brief moment!
- The Bus Came Back: Saraka Sant'Angelo, or Sariel as she was known in the PC-98 games, returns as a boss for this game. While she doesn't outright reveal her identity, she immediately recognizes Reimu when they encounter each other and her theme itself is a remix of "Now, Until The Moment You Die".
- Didn't Think This Through: Great Tengu Tenmu Suitokuin attempts to use this new incident as a smear campaign against the Moriya Shrine, as they've been behind several of the past incidents from Subterranean Animism onwards (including a mistaken thought that they were also directly behind the events of TLC since Sanae got partially involved). Unfortunately, she didn't realize that actively participating in the current incident would lead to Reimu and the others pinning the blame on her instead.
- Fallen Angel: Saraka Sant'Angelo is on the verge of becoming this. She's a little too eager to do her job to harvest souls, collecting still-living ones in the process and resulting in her power of the sun turning to that of power of the moon. Michel Sant'Angelo from TLC even appears in the Extra stage as a midboss tasked with retrieving her before this happens.
- Gender Flip: As expected of a Touhou game.
- God Needs Prayer Badly: Although this is not a problem for Mitama Magahara, aka Tenjin, god of scholars, Sanae brings this up in regards to her plan to bring An Yaezaki, the sentient manifestation of Tenjin's own plum tree, the very Life-Guiding Tree brought into Gensokyo, back to the outside world. Since the people there don't believe in her as much, it was speculated that An might revert back into a regular tree once she's there. Mitama just gives her a Shut Up, Kirk! and says she's going through with it anyways.
- Hidden Disdain Reveal: The boss of the tengus, Tenmu, is revealed to dislike the Moriya Shrine crew and part of her reason to ally with Mitama is to kick them out from the mountain.
- Hijacked by Jesus: Saraka Sant'Angelo is a reaper who uses a scythe like a certain Sanzu Shinigami "which tacitly and effectively conveys the fact that religion essentially involves different countries copying from each other."
- Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels: The difficulty levels are named after plants.
- Easy: Plum
- Normal: Bamboo
- Hard: Pine
- Lunatic: Crane and Tortoise
- Extra: Tonelico
- Our Ghosts Are Different: Both Tenmu Suitokuin and Mitama Magahara were originally humans that became vengeful spirits after death. They were feared so much that to appease the two of them, the people pardoned and wrote off their supposed crimes in life, and anointed them as deities, turning them into a great tengu and god, respectively.
- The Unfought: Both Tenmu and Mitama are part of a trio known as the Three Vengeful Spirits of Japan, three humans who after death terrorized the human populace as revenge for various crimes against them, and were afterwards deified in order to appease their wrath. During Reimu's ending, both of them make passing mention of the third spirit, Taira no Masakado, who makes an appearance in the underworld, but not as a boss. Players wouldn't fight her until Infinite Blade Pavilion , where she shows up as the fifth boss, seven years later.
