EX-Patchouli?

anyone got a bucket of water handy?

Patchy Demon. You gonna get mukyu'd

The Unlocked Girl

hoooooooly shit Patchy you're looking a little epic there

Epic, sure, but very un-Touhou like... isn't like, nearly all the EX-Bosses are just like the rest of them. This is a wee bit too monstrous for a Touhou EX-Boss. I mean, it looks cool, but it also looks like it belongs in another fandom.

regular Patchy is already an EX boss in the first place. this is way above that stage, beyond Phantasm also. only other thing I'd be expecting to fight at this level is that damn Dragon

Wasn't she a mid-boss?

EX midboss, Stage 4 boss.

Glass cann-

...

Paper cannon.

Looks kind of like a Reality Marble, body-altering type, in action. Sort of a cross between Nero's Lair of the Beast King and Emiya Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works.

Badass.

As for the gems, it looks like a Voltron set-up. Yellow (gold/metal) and Blue (water) for the legs, Green (Wood) and Red (Fire) for the arms, with Earth (purple) for the chest.

The Moon "element" could be considered represented by the enlarged crescent ornament stuck through her head, but where's the Sun "element" represented? Her eye? Can't be the One-Week Mage without all seven days/elements.

Very cool, but not Touhou at all. If it wasn't for the tags and the quote, it would be impossible to associate this with Touhou.

That's pretty clearly Patchouli Knowledge no matter how you look at it.

This is Patchouli in her God-Dammit-Stop-Stealing-All-My-Books-Marisa! mode.

Apart for the giant hair accessory through the face identified with Patchouli, the HUGE head of hair WITH RIBBONS identified as Patchouli's, and the fact that she looks like her strongest attack, Philosopher's Stone, personified?

Yeah, totally indistinguishable.

Mukyun, mother fucker.

Ex? More like Phantasm.

It looks like Patchy got converted into a .hack// boss.

Did someone pull a prank, or does it actually say that?

I wonder that too... seems unlikely it would actually say that. Nevertheless, I reckon it should be left there until someone actually confirms whether or not it's legit.

Also, what kind of youkai is Patchy, anyway? Is there even anything canon explaining what type she is? Cause if not, then I reckon she might in actuality be a magic book, either sentient or possessed. Interesting idea, no?

Canonically, she's a magician. A human that spawned with magical powers. She turned into a youkai when making the "don't need to eat" spell.

Well I can confirm that the Arabic is mostly gibberish, some of the letters spell out "armor" and the feminine form of "rare", don't know what that's about.

"No! I must read the books!" Patchouli screamed.

ZUN said, "No, Patchouli. You are the books."

And then Patchouli was paper.

So, burn the witch?

No, Patchouli was born as a magician youkai.

The quote is from the author William Faulkner. However, after "You'll absorb it", he added "Then write."
