So apparently, a lot of the Touhou characters were ripped off from somewhere else.
Does anyone have any more information about this?

She's cute!
Julian Walker
Doesn't really look like his style, even when he did more of a manga look.
Luis Martin
see you're the only fake news around here

>generic anime girls
>oh no, they copied them from somewhere
James Hughes
That's about as blatant as it gets
Nathan Campbell
yeah, there's no way anyone could think of a little girl with short hair wearing a dress with a geometric pattern on it without reference
Ian Edwards
This.
Luis Long

>First similarity is literally just a triangle pattern on the bottom of the dress (and it isn't even the same dress)
>Second is the ice theme and the name
Wow, what a rip-off! Next you're going to tell me chess was a rip-off of checkers because they're both played on a board using two colors.
Luis Reed
Wow, that last thread sure was something else

This might have been a big revelation if you posted it ten years ago, everyone already knows.

OP is a gorilla nigger who didn't mention that ZUN based the entirety of PoDD and PoFV on Twinkle Star Sprites. Anyway kill yourselves.

Guilty Gear Baiken is rule 63 Ruroni Kenshin. Daisuke exposed. It is all over. Look at the top of his head.

But then where did Cirno's ice wings come from?
Aaron Moore
reimu if she real
Samuel Garcia
Shinki as she also had the 6-winged style. However, even before Shinki, Sarai (the same manga as in the OP picture) also did it first with the same design as Shinki.
Parker Allen
haha so? cute girl good
Lucas Watson
So? This is pretty common practice. What's next? You will tell us that DOOM soundtrack are ripped metal tracks from 80s.
Joseph Sanders
You now realize Sarai is a manga about rape.
Touhou characters are literally inspired by a rape manga.
Jeremiah Stewart
It's commonplace to find inspiration from other mediums.
It's NOT commonplace to literally rip off sprites from other games.

That's Monoji Tsukuri's illustration for PMiSS
ZUN more or less plagiarized a ton shit for his early PC-98 games and that's decades old news.
>Does anyone have any more information about this?
Why would I bother writing an essay for some retarded south-american teenager who just found out about touhou and Zig Forums?
Luke Sullivan
yes, and?

>socks (I think?) only
so where's the similarity to marisu?
Jayden Torres
>that's decades old news
It is for people who have been on Zig Forums for over a decade, but there's a flood of secondary newfags who think being knowledgeable about Touhou is "knowing the PC-98 games exist". It gets tiresome hearing over and over again from newfags about how "creative" and "original" ZUN is.
In the artist world, ZUN would be known as a "collage artist". He combines a lot of other things together to create a bigger whole.
Is he creative? That is definitely up for debate.
Is he original? NO. NOT AT ALL.
James Green
Someone call the Based Department. Quick! It's an emergency!
Ryder Reed
is this the end of ZUN?
Ryan Hall
>Autist is still sperging out about this.
It was funny last thread, now it's just getting kind of boring.
See you later Zig Forums.
Jaxson Wright
>rip off
The word you're looking for is tracing and yes it is pretty common.
Xavier Davis
I remember that manga. I remember they stopped the english version on a cliffhanger which makes me REEEE to this day
Michael Jenkins
>Cirno is based on Marisu
>the only non-fairy in Cirno's game is named Marisa
Xavier Bennett
The dress has the same triangle pattern which means it's the same exact character obviously
Elijah Hughes
I fucking hope so
James Lewis
Damn, when did ZUN get good at drawing?
Blake Richardson
>sprites
>tracing
You don't "trace" sprites retard. You use the erase tool to erase the pixels around the part you want to use. That's not "tracing".
Jeremiah Rogers
Lucas Perry
>People are so desperate to have Touhou discussion that they brought this topic back up again.
Gee. Maybe not having a general would fix that.
Camden Green
Yeah, zun wasn't even fucking trying with that one.

dunno if you guys know but twinkle star sprites is a banger of a game
it's a mix between a shmup and a competitive puzzler
you kill enemies in chains and send them as "junk" to the other player
Brayden Collins

Damn...Cirno looks like THAT!
Brehs....
Kevin Thompson
Holy shit, frilly dresses and bows? sitting cross legged? I can't believe ZUN would plagiarize those concepts so blatantly. How will he ever recover?

Why would you even bother typing this out
You know you can just NOT post if you don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said, right?
Michael Smith
Nigger we know that because PoDD and PoFV are literally Twinkle Star Sprites based games.
Jace Cooper
damn that's crazy
I don't care at all
is right
Lucas Hernandez
if 9 we all turn into Cirno
Lincoln Edwards
its literally just one autist. he's the guy who made this thread too.
