Does anyone have any idea if the bit about Zun's commentary at the end is legitimate? It seems slightly out of left field for him to mention the US election, I know he's not apolitical and definitely injects political statements into touhou often, but it still is kinda odd for him to weigh in...
Yes, The characters used for Damemaru's 'true name' literally translate as "ru" "ma", changing the 'ru' is definitely a choice by kirei cake LOL, personally i would have kept it as 'ru' since his Damemaru's true name seems to be a pretty pivotal plot point....
