Touhou Project's Supervillain Ranking

The origin of "Supervillain" is unknown even though it's commonly used in the Touhou community. Some may define "supervillain" as beyond claming the superplayer* status, like doing insane routes to get LNNs, or having the most mind boggling take ever made about LNN.

Take this chart with a grain of salt.

*The term "superplayer", which was coined by ZUN in his 4th Touhou installment, Lotus Land Story, has become a cultural phenomenon in the danmaku world, which consists of only 10 people who have actually played the game.

JP Translation

「スーパーヴィラン」の起源は不明だが、東方プロジェクトのコミュニティ内で広く使用されている。一部では「スーパープレイヤー*」の領域を超越した存在と定義される。例としては、LNN獲得のために極端な戦略を駆使する者らが挙げられる。

この図表は冗談として扱ってください。

*「スーパープレイヤー」という用語は、第4作『東方幻想郷』で初めて登場し、弾幕シューティングコミュニティ内で文化現象となった。これはあくまで筆者の観察に基づくものであり、特定の出典は引用していない。

ZUNさん、ミマを返してください。

FAQs
    What the f##k did I just see?

    Like the title says, this page is to display how many supervillains there are in the #danmaku channel of the Touhou Discord server.

    Is this even a ranking chart?

    You have to take the ranks with a grain of salt. Not everyone is destined to be a supervillain.

    How come everyone isn't a supervillain?

    If everyone's a supervillain, then no one is.

    Why do some people have their own backgrounds?

    You can contact me via email if you want one.

    How did you even come up with this?

    On November 29, 2024. Someone sent a sarcastic list of #danmaku "supervillains":

    why

    I got struck with inspiration to make this chart. I think this may serve as a legacy of #danmaku if one day Discord bursts into flames.
