- Alternative Character Interpretation: Yorihime telling Reimu that she should have trained. It's either condescending and privileged coming from someone who can live thousands of years, and thus can and has likely trained longer than Reimu will ever live, or her advice is sincere and she has a point, since it's still true that if Reimu bothered to train at all, she'd be a lot more capable than she currently is.
- Continuity Lockout: Newcomers to Touhou often mistake Silent Sinner in Blue for a standalone story and ignore Cage in Lunatic Runagate entirely, resulting in an unsatisfying ending and many events that lack context. Comments by ZUN suggest that he feels a certain level of inaccessibility is core to Touhou, regardless of medium.
- Jerks Are Worse Than Villains: The Watatsuki Sisters of the Lunarians are hated by many fans, mostly for easily curb-stomping the protagonists and established characters while acting smug, condescending, and racist towards Earthlings. Ultimately, though, they're the Hero Antagonists who are only doing their job of protecting the moon. In contrast, the subsequent game Touhou Kanjuden ~ Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom introduced another Lunarian, Sagume. Despite being responsible for two atrocities and making a plan to protect the moon's people that involved annihilating all life in Gensokyo, she acts much more amicably towards the protagonists, and so is much better received among the fandom than the Watatsukis.
