Some Touhou references in Undertale

...

Obvious one: Battle against a True Hero.

That end image tho.
Yukari: I brought a friend!
Ran:...

Not very known trivia.

You can "Focus" in Undertale too (slow down your movement) during battle.

Holding shift will do that.

one of asriel's attacks is called star blazing






ONE OF MARISA'S ATTACKS IS CALLED BLAZING STAR

ok but the fact that asriel(GoH first form) is just a Sariel(from touhou 1) reference


and his attacks are based on most of Marisa's attacks

La de Bad Apple la caché altiro

So thats why I like both?

Touhou 4 stage 3 for bad apple

Chara is just Koishi but conscious

Toby Fox hugs ZUN

The flowey boss fight just screams touhou

Asriel= Marisa
...🧐

Imagine liking undertale

also, another one to add is that I believe the river man who let's you teleport to other areas is a reference to komachi ? they both carry a scythe (I think boatman has one ? I could entirely be wrong but I have an odd feeling he does), stand on the front of a small ovular boat, and guide lost people to where they need to go. It's just speculation, but it feels right.

You also forgot 4 more things:

-Toriel's dress is similiar to ran's
-the beginning of both papyrus' songs are ispired from aya's theme "wind god girl
-sans' teleportation is a little inspired by yukari
-all the attacks from the enemies have the same mechanics as touhou's but without graze,bombs and spellcards

battle against a true hero uses ZUNpets

Undyne the undying theme also has ZUNpets in it which either means that it was a reference to the excessive use of trumpets in touhou or Toby also likes using trumpets

Has anyone mentioned Sariel yet

It's curious how the green soul is green, and the koishi's color represent is the green 🤔

Koishi use kindness in undertale

touhou 15 released 1 month and 1 day before undertale so the fact that junko's backstory is so close to asgore and toriel's backstory is a very nice coincidence

Tobi fox crossover the insanity of touhou with the crazyness of earthbound.

Rather than reference, it would be inspiration :)

undyne has ZUNpets

eh, both of these are a bit of a stretch. he's obviously inspired by ZUN's style, that's been true since Homestuck, but I'm pretty confident these aren't 'references'.

Another fun fact: Frisk and Chara's colors are based on Satori and Koishi's color palettes.

Asriel is an anagram for Sariel, who share VERY similar outfits and also the wings make sense for the hyperdeath phase too.

id like to also point out that Battle Against a True Hero at one part uses an instrument that sounds very similar to the classic touhou trumpet sound

tsunderplane's hat
looks pretty familiar
(it's yukari's hat)

A lot of bullet patterns are the same too!

Super late to the party but Asrial and Toriel’s outfit(and Asriel’s “god of hyper death form” in its entirety) is based on Sariel.

Touhou 11 touhou 3/4?

Papyrus and Cirno is the same characters!?!?!?!?

And i'm 1000th

The trumpet part in “Battle Against a True Hero” is inspired by many Touhou songs, even using the same trumpet sound named “zunpet”

Zun San no TOUHOU Prawjekt has truly touched the dog's heart.

No mention of Undyne's blatant use of ZUNpets?

"Bad apple!!! Touhou 3"

Why, just, why

cool

Me a people of the future and the TobyFox X Zun collab is a reallity

can't forget the zunpets in spear of justice

prrof that flowey play touhou

Bravery leitmotif is in Nue's theme.

Been reading these old comments for a while and still don't undestand the meaningless beef

You Best Nightmare is a whole 2ho reference

I guess it makes sense that Flowey is a Touhou fan. They do generally have a genocidal nature

Bad apple!! is in LLS (Touhou 4) not Touhou 3
