Fortunately we can quickly switch back to Viese to finish up what we needed on her side since it's not like we're under a time limit until that girl dies or anything.
In any case, with Cure Jar in hand, we're able to save the girl's life and receive a startling revelation in the process: There are two Azoths!
Now who else have we seen with a talking sword in the area? Then again, we've seen the scene but the characters haven't, so we can't warn them ahead of time.
Thanks to Imperial activity, Noin stays behind while our new party member, Fee, takes up the mantle of being our guide to the Altena Church.

Definitely a far less creepy scenario with Nagino talking to a potential new Papa than when she was with Roger. In fact, this one becomes so incredibly wholesome that it makes the ending only hit that much harder...
Gameplay-wise, Gennojo is quite capable of covering for Naginos few weaknesses, so this ends up being one of the best pairings on both fronts.

As a dungeon, the Lighthouse isnt that bad but, as a Lighthouse, I simply have to ask who the heck designed this place?!
Either way, we eventually make our way up to the top to bust Max and a couple of NPCs out of prison, and he shows his gratitude by never remembering Felts name.
But the escape shouldnt be too much of a problem, right?
Nope. We get a direct encounter with Chaos but, unlike most games where running into someone in his position would result in an unwinnable battle, he actually doesnt fight us directly.
Now all we need is a way out of the city.

The various Marisa titles created by Double Cluster have been fairly memetic in the Touhou fandom since their creation. As I already did a Lets Play of Mega Mari, I figured that it would be interesting to return to the even more difficult Super Marisa World, which is full of Super Mario references in its bosses.
However, I still have PTSD from playing through the game years ago, so I convinced three members of the Bakashop Quartet to do a blind race of the game with some assistance from me.
Will there be a winner? Or will there just be survivors?
Or will there be any survivors?

The main problem is that Doom Island can fly and we cant.
Luckily all we need is some Power Oil to complete its upgrade into an airship.
So of course theres none available at Epro, the town that sells it, and we have to get it the hard way.
Even worse if you forget to head over to the landslide area and get the key from Hedge.
One more mini-dungeon later, and were there!

Well, even though she would be a valuable asset, M.D. decides to NOT let Jerin join our party and we begin our trek towards the next town... after the next revisit back to the Old Cave to take on the next level.
With the goodies from that obtained, we cross the desert to the village of Suringal and learn that we need the aid of an elf to cross the Lost Woods- er- Forest. Now where could be possibly find an elf who can help us...?
Nah, Im sure well be fine on our own.

The one specific pairing outlined in the manual, even though Mihee does NOT want to be a part of it as Gennojo has to practically drag her to the castle.
Overall, the pairing shares the same strengths and weaknesses in a few aspects but they provide some entertaining banter to keep the run fairly lighthearted.
Hmm, could there be some shipping about to happen?

Our first SMZ3 chaos race in a good while courtesy of Yosh calling for one at the start of the year, so we can put the blame entirely on him.
Except for the fact that I managed to roll crap seeds for all five of us.
Surely, we are cursed.

Despite one of the sillier prologues as well as a fairly comedic tone overall, Emilio gains some good character development in this route despite who his partner is.
As for the ending, though-
Emilio, dont! Its a trap! Dont fall for it!
Still a good pairing gameplay-wise though as Fumiko can cover Emilios main weakness of his shots homing in on the wrong part of a boss, but thats only if you dont just bomb them anyway.

Even as we close in on reaching Doom Island, the game just cant help but throw one more fetch quest dungeon and one more traversal dungeon our way as we search the caves near Glasdar for the key that lets us reach the tower.
Fairly straightforward with some interesting luck coming our way at the same time.

Well, it was bound to happen: Viese comes face-to-face with Poe and is a lot nicer to him than wed be when his attempts to help out only hinder us. Iris is a bit more honest in dealing with him.
Fortunately, forming a Pact with the Fire Mana, Uru, is a relatively painless endeavor and we unlock potential for making even more recipes and well save that Glow Lamp for last.
After finding a map for Felt and seeing a relief with a familiar face, a series of events leads to someone else rushing through the Belkhyde Gate with oddly conveniently perfect timing.
I guess wed better let Felt take care of it.
Stay tuned for a bonus video to showcase an early method of breaking the alchemy system by using a loop of items in each others recipes to max out desired reviews for Mana Items and Alchemy Items.
So yeah, Ill be doing a bit of offscreen prep before the next full episode.

After another encounter with Epona, we can finally say we complete the first half of the Blooded Blight and finally catch up with the Holy Knights who, once again, somehow got ahead of us and did not disable all of the traps!
But, unlike Yunicas route, we dont meet up with Dalles at this point and instead get chewed out for not taking the time to work as a full team.
For now, well still ignore her and move on.
