Antinomy of Common Flowers is the 15.5th game in the long-running Touhou Project series. It deals with the Perfect Possession incident (i.e. the tag team mechanic), caused by a god of wasting money and a god of poverty exploiting the Urban Legend Incident of Touhou Shinpiroku ~ Urban Legend in Limbo. It also features the Dream World leaking into the real world as a side effect.

Notable for being the first game on the series to receive an official English translation. But it's terrible.

To do:

  • Unused Jo'on Yorigami sprites.
  • Unused replay icons.
  • Unused English text graphics.
  • Differences between updates.

Jo'on Yorigami#

To do:
Apply the patterns to these sprites

Jo'on, the final boss, has more unused sprites than possibly any other Touhou character in any other game.

It should be noted that the reason that Jo'on's coat appears bright green and her flame aura shades of red in her sprites is due to the fact that her scrolling jacket and flame patterns are actually separate textures overlaid over those specific parts of the sprite. Ichirin, Miko, and Sumireko have similar situations for their sprites.

Jo'on had a large number of unfinished sprites from Versions 1.01 to 1.02b. They were removed in v1.03.
