...what ?

dead parrot

Yeah they just had a PoFV match.

Is Yoshika playing dead for some ploy of Seiga's? Or is this part of something that was needed to let Satori into her home? Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to me why she'd be inviting Satori in and then immediately back over in her grave. At the very least it definitely seems like Mizuchi is being framed, though for what I have no clue.

man... watching all the cast appear one by one really make me happy

Yoshika showed up, post Thriller

I know it's supposed to be a necktie with her third eye cables, but that's definitely a noose around Satori's neck.

Anyway... so I suppose the third eye has to actually be activated for Satori to read minds. Otherwise, Satori would have figured out right away that the Yoshika in front of her is not the real one that's buried down there.

Is the onryō possessing Mamizō? 🤔

I feel like the original implication was that you couldn't close your third eye at all, or you end up like Koishi. Otherwise if she could temporarily close her third eye (and visibly indicate that she's not reading minds) it seems like there'd be less reason for her to have been hated in the past. But I guess there was nothing set in stone about that.

Woah, the artwork is really cute!! Yay, Satori!

But um..so she can close her eye huh..and she has to actually activate her eye in order to read minds. That's interesting

Ah and Yoshika..that's.. huh

Maybe while she led Satori to the underground she was actually possesed...? Or..something? She returned right back to her grave after, no? That is..sus.

no thoughts, head empty yoshika my beloved

I dig how scary and intimidating Seiga is here, that's when she's at her best!

Winner at life

If I had a life for every time an official Touhou manga used this line, I would have two lives, but that's more than I usually have in Stage 6.

 

[Snerkus]

that third eye reach around is crazy work god damn

 

[Matikkkii]

.... What?

Actually, I think Seiga really DID mean it like the original implication.

She IS the Wicked Hermit, after all. I wouldn't put it past her to ask people to end their lives just because she finds them boring.

I'm pretty sure she didn't close the eye, she just shook off Seiga's hand and moved it away so it would no longer point at Seiga. The eye is visible in one more panel a few pages later, when Satori looks out the window, and it's open as normal, its pupil is just covered by the window framework.

It seems that Satori can focus her eye on a specific person to help her read that person's mind with more precision, and that's what Seiga objected to. She either doesn't know about the full implications behind a satori closing her third eye, or she DOES know, and her request is carrying the very thinly veiled threat of "close that eye (for me, metaphorically, by looking away), or I will close it for you (for everyone and yourself, literally, by doing to it whatever Koishi did to hers)".

As an aside: Satori personally doesn't care if she's being hated for reading other people's minds. Her stance is that reading minds is awesome and haters can be haters all they want.

Ngl even if Satori can choose not to read minds it still make sense that a lot of people (well, yokais) will still be prejudiced against that just because of the association. Fear isn't a particularly rational emotion

 

[Okuu]

Seiga's gonna frame Satori

I love Yoshika so much! 💕
