Let's Play Touhou 13.5 - Hopeless Masquerade - Ichirin Story stages 1-5

Ichirn, so much skills, so little slots. Ichirin has a lot of skills, each being very usable in many situations, and with a lot of room to combo. The main downside I would say is that she is slow, which will make it hard to get a hit in first. If you get a hit in though, you can combo...
Her gimmick is also a very simple one, a rage mechanic: If she takes enough damage, the rage will max out and boost her attack for a little time. A gimmick that really adds, rather than being gameplay-centric as with most characters.
Because her shots are best for storymode with a Youkai deck, that's what I went with. Though I barely really use her regular danmaku, it's just not her focus.

Why can't the characters see Koishi while she's talking?

[@garludegalaxia8]

Future Biochemist Koishi is a youkai of the subconscious. She usually goes around unnoticed, because people can't notice her consciously, only without realizing it. This game is the only one where she gets pretty noticeable due to the events, but it's uncommon for her. Think of it that they see her without realizing that it is her.
(She is actually often around, but people either do not notice her of forget that she was there when she leaves again).
It's hard to explain properly, but her page on Symposium of Post-mysticism work might help understand~

Thanks! Initially I thought she travels subconsciously but that idea was...ehh

That's a really interesting character detail.
