Discussion History YMMV / TouhouProject

*The franchise as a whole is often compared to VideoGame/TeamFortress2, with both of them being PC games with ChromosomeCasting, a heavy focus on [[NiceHat hats]], and the same general goal of \\\"shoot your enemies\\\" (though in [[BulletHell different]] [[FirstPersonShooter genres]]) and which have both become the source of many memes. Nitori specifically has been compared to Engineer/Dell Conagher due to them having the same profession and both being [[GadgeteerGenius Gadgeteer Geniuses]].

*Youmu has been compared to WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom. Both are half-ghosts with white hair who fight bad guys often (Youmu has been a playable character in 3 main-series games and 3 spin-offs) and are (or in Youmu\\\'s case, at least [[VagueAge seem to be]]) in their teens.
*Yuyuko is often compared to [[Franchise/Kirby]], with both being cheerful [[BigEater Big Eaters]] with the color pink somewhere on their body (Yuyuko has [[RoseHairedSweetie pink hair]] and magenta eyes, and Kirby\\\'s body is entirely pink) and who are [[BewareTheNiceOnes far deadlier than they look]].
*Flandre is often compared to [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Marx]] due to their similar wings and the fact that both of them are CuteAndPsycho.
*Mamizou has been compared to [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] due to the fact that most people outside of Japan only know what a tanuki is thanks to [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3]]\\\'s Tanooki Suit, so many Westerners associate tanuki with Mario.
