Not much to say about the first section of the Demon's Core since we have to make our way forward enough to obtain the Obsidian Key and do battle with... who was this guy again? He has almost no prominence on Hugo's route.
Oh well, they had to put a boss fight in somewhere and he's a hell of a lot easier than when Yunica had to fight him.

Another one of the Is anyone even going to pick this combination? pairings.
And its not hard to ask why since I would rate these two as the worst characters in the game and Munchausen cant do much to cover for Batus own weaknesses as they share most of them.
The story itself with these two is okay, but has a few nice things to think about.

Our initial exploration of the tower remains unchanged as we manage to swipe the first artifact before Yunica can and it gives us not only a nice gliding ability to make long jumps but also creates a shield that can protect against 1-2 attacks depending on if its charged or not.
This is the one thing that makes Hugo the best character to use for Boss Rush.
But were still at very low level gear and have no means of avoiding the teleport trap. So, after a minor relocation, we find the key we need to get back to where we started.
Wait, whos that behind us?!

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?

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.

If you thought Mihee was unhinged in her solo route, thats got nothing on this one was she immediately declares her hatred of lovey-dovey couples and finds both allies and enemies along the way while Kohtaro is dragged along for the ride. Easily one of the, if not the, funniest routes in the game.
If youre not using Kohtaros shikigami attacks to go for score, then Mihees regular shot is better against the regular mobs, but Id say Kohtaro is the one to stick with for most everything.

![Castle of Shikigami III [51] - Emilio + Gennojo](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m6AEamQFLg0/mqdefault.jpg "Castle of Shikigami III [51] - Emilio + Gennojo
The story starts off a bit more tense than with Emilio and Mihee, but it plays out very much the same as Emilio is willing to learn some life lessons even from a Nyaponese as Gennojo helps him to understand some new ways of thinking.
And, since Gennojo cant really cover for Emilios weaknesses, he stays benched for most of this final run, but its still fun to use his bomb against the Stage 4 mid-boss.

So I headed back to the bridge in order to double check that Super Nue pick up and inadvertently trigger the next plot event automatically. Turns out its in the form of that lavender-haired girl weve seen a couple of times attacking us directly to try and destroy the Azoth.
As such, we fall back on self defense.
On another note, she has a very deep voice for a 14-year old.
After reuniting with Noin and Max, its time for a couple of traversal dungeons before we can reach Simsilts hideout.

Time for my first seed of a new Randomizer from a game that I thought I knew more than I did. So yeah, theres a lot of salt.
But thats more entertainment for you guys.
Be warned, though, this ones long.
It also starts off with those who joined in co-comms also rolling and running their own seeds, but recording ran so long that they moved on to other projects, so theres some unusual overlap. But I dont mind as this would have had a lot of empty commentary otherwise.
