pening text: Irrelevant. Amounts to “and now, on to part three”.

Reimu: A flying ship?

Marisa: So the rumours were true?

Sanae: I'm going to board that ship, I have to learn what I can.

(Intro, book opens, cut to Reimu, Marisa and Sanae)

Sanae: You mean you didn't notice it at all? I thought it was really obvious.

Marisa: You... what do you think you're even doing, just turning up as a third character like you own the place?

Sanae: Wha?

Marisa: I had to wait three years for my place. Three years! I let a few side characters get the spotlight the last two times – they're only gaiden games, it doesn't matter much (I'm not quite sure what she's referring to here).

Marisa (still): But not you! Who do you think you are, just showing up out of nowhere and taking a place right next to us? You've got to wait for at least two more games for that!

Sanae: B-but that's not fair! I was chosen by the kannushi himself to be in this game! What right do you have to argue with that? Please, miss Reimu, can't you say something to her?

Reimu: (I don't even recognize some of the words she's using here, and the subtitles are too small to make out. The gist of it is that she's pretending she couldn't hear, or is taking Marisa's side).

Sanae: W-what are you saying?

Marisa: You heard her! If you keep your mouth shut, I suppose you can join in; I'll overlook it, just this once.

Reimu, speaking to herself: It's always a little painful to watch when kids get the wrong ideas into their heads.

(Sanae snaps and mutters to herself for a while, constantly insulting Reimu and Marisa)

Reimu, grabbing Sanae by the neck: You!

Sanae: And you too, magician! Who do you think you are, pointing at me like that? You're just going to end up getting shot down anyway, why shouldn't I get to watch from the front sea- huh?

Nazrin/Kogasa/Ichirin: You shall not pass!

Ichirin, after getting ignored: Err...

Reimu/Marisa: You talking to me?

Kogasa: W-well, you never turned up, so we had to come to you, and... and now you snapped at me...

Reimu: We're busy. Get out of my sight, and I'll let you live.

Nazrin: It doesn't work that way!

Ichirin: We won't let you go any further!

Marisa: Come on, Reimu, calm down. The plot's finally moving, we might as well play along.

Reimu: Hmm... you have a point. Moving on!

(Reimu throws Sanae at the three, and Marisa follows up with a Master Spark)

Marisa: Outta my way! I'm tired of waiting.

(Sanae collides with and shatters the screen, cut to Kogasa)\

Kogasa: Oww, they surprised me back there... it's supposed to be the other way around. At this rate, I'll be out of a job by tomorrow! I've got to do whatever it takes to startle them!

Kogasa: (part of an umbrella-related nursery rhyme that I have no hope of translating, since it's a song, cue enormous laser umbrella)

Kogasa: Alright, this should surprise anyone!

(She proceeds to cut the planet in half)

Kogasa: Umm, that surprised me a bit too... how was it?

(cut to Marisa)

Marisa: Whew... would've been messy if it wasn't for my new outfit. So, you'd go this far just to startle me, would you? I like your style! I've said it before: Move and I'll shoot. Time to fire!

Marisa: Time to show you how it's really done. Final Spark! Turn to dust!

Kogasa: I won't go down that easily! You're all bark and no bite!

Marisa: Then I'll just have to show you how powerful I can be: Final Master Spark!

Reimu: Marisa, stop it! You'll hurt yourself if you go any further than that!

Marisa: I'll blast you and that palanquin right out of Gensokyo!

Kogasa: I... I can deal with it. This isn't too ba-

(Kogasa is sent flying into the distance)

Kogasa, after landing: D-damn it...

(cut to Nazrin)

Nazrin: Well, she must be pretty pathetic if she won't even show up on my sensors.

Sanae: Oh, so that's where you are. Took your time showing up, didn't you? I was just trying not to scare you too badly, that's all. I can hardly wait to exterminate you, though... this is going to be fun.

Nazrin: What's wrong with you?

Nazrin, to herself: This is bad... there's something off about her. I have to do something quickly. Dowsing Cross!

(Nazrin throws the dowsing rods, which Sanae dodges)

Sanae: Did you really think a mouse would be able to hit me?

Nazrin: Idiot, don't stand up! Duck!

(Sanae is hit by the boomerang on the way back)

Nazrin: Oh well, might as well make the best of it. Take this!

Nazrin, after Sanae is beaten: I get way too many weak ones these days. Ought to at least charge them before they can challenge me.

(cut to Sanae)

Sanae: Well, she certainly had some issues... I wouldn't even know where to start.

Sanae: We used some for experiments on the outside, and some others made their own kingdoms and ruled over people... which kind are you? Not that I care as long as I can exterminate you, of course.

Sanae again: Wind, come to me!

(Sanae makes a tornado around herself)

Sanae: What would I ever use this power for, if not fighting youkai?

(The illustration shows the wind blast/tornado burrowing through the Earth's crust, exiting from another point and going off into space.)

Sanae: Two birds with one stone! Who knew I could catch so many fish while exterminating youkai?

(An octopus falls on her head)

Sanae: Was... was that really necessary?

(End of the first video)


Ichirin: Ah! Has the neglected Hakurei miko turned to theft at last?

Reimu: Not really, no. I don't believe in this whole palanquin story, and I'm not interested in any case. The rest of you dragged me into this so you could have a few moments in the limelight.

Reimu, in her thoughts: You know, it really has been a while since I did something like this.

Ichirin: Enough. I can't allow you to go any further! If you must pass, then you'll have to fight Unzan and I first! Unzan, to me!

(Ichirin proceeds to wear Unzan as armour, then fires a fist at Reimu)

Ichirin: Take this, Hakurei!

Ichirin: Unzan, boxer form!

(Ichirin/Unzan punches Reimu repeatedly, then slams her into the ground.)

Ichrin: Hmph. I suppose this look suits someone as two-dimensional as you.

(Cut to Reimu)

Reimu: Whew... that hurt a little. Do you understand what picking a fight with me means? You're done for. I've been waiting for this for five years... five years!

Reimu: Spirit sign: Fantasy Seal!

Reimu, muttering to herself: Ugh... why can't I move? I don't have time for this... looks like my injuries were worse than I thought.

Ichirin: Come. If I can survive this, I've practically won already!

(Ichrin catches the spheres and throws them back at Reimu)

Ichrin: So that's it? I suppose the great Hakurei shrine maiden is only human after all.

Reimu: I... I won't let it end like this!

Reimu: What's wrong? Smile, Ichirin. Weren't you laughing a moment ago?

(Ichirin charges at Reimu, who smokebombs out of the way)

Reimu: Too easy.

Reimu: What's the matter? Down already? Come on, don't disappoint me like that! You thought someone as new as you could get away with looking down at me, with challenging me?

Reimu: What's that? Are you crying? You think crying will save you? If you want your life, I'm not giving it to you for anything less than all the treasure on that boat of yours! Oh, don't look at me like that; you're only getting what you deserve for thinking you can take my place.

(Reimu kicks Ichirin away and summons Yukari)

Reimu: Why don't you meet my little helper?

Marisa, off-screen: Oh, come on... that's a little unfair even for you.

Yukari: I'm fine with whichever you choose. Personally, though, I recommend the 115. Why don't we go with that?

(Ichirin is hit with a train)

Sanae: Oh, I know that train! Isn't it from the Takasaki line?

Marisa: You sure about that? Looks like a Toukai to me.

Sanae: Huh? How do you know? Well, they're probably all the same anyway. I missed trains...

Reimu: Alright, time to finish this!

Ichirin: G-get away from me, you pauper!

Reimu: Ugh, don't you dare resist... Go on, fly!

(Ichirin is kicked into the ground)

Ichirin: Ow ow ow... what's even going on here?

Reimu: Forget the palanquin, I don't even care about that any more; I'm just going to finish you off. Ichrin, was it? I'll put it on your headstone.

Marisa: Reimu, stop it! You'll destroy Gensokyo, maybe even all of Earth!

Sanae: She really wanted a chance to show off, didn't she?

Marisa: Fate was giving her a test, keeping her out of the fight until now... I've known her for ages, I know how hard it was for her.

Reimu: Ichirin! Think you're brave enough to take this hit? Of course not! You're just another new face, after all.

Ichirin: Come, Hakurei. Once I defeat you, I'll finally be able to replace you!

Marisa: Go, Reimu! Don't do this for anyone else, but for yourself! For your place in the world! And mine, while you're at it!

Sanae: Fire, miss Reimu! For your place as protagonist; the position that you would destroy the world for if you have to!

(Reimu fires)

Marisa: Uh... I know we encouraged her and all, but at this rate, she's going to take Gensokyo apart, isn't she? Bit of a steep price.

Sanae: No... I don't think so. I'm sure miss Reimu calculated all this beforehand. She's thought it through, we'll be fine.

Sanae: After all, she's our heroine, isn't she? She's here to protect us.

(cut to Reimu walking as the credits roll)


And that's it. One thing about the credits: The little flying black-and-white thing they start chasing is the palanquin. I'm also assuming Sanae's assumptions about Reimu not blowing everyone up were overly optimistic, but it's not stated outright.
