2nd Touhou M-1 Grand Prix R


Fun Facts

  • Rinnosuke is the only character who has appeared in all editions, as a permanent host.
  • Shikieiki Yamaxanadu is the founder of the Touhou M-1 Grand Prix and the director of judges.
    • However, she only appears at the jury table once every two Grand Prix (1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th).
  • Ran is the only character who has appeared as a host, a judge, and in manzai. She has even appeared as the host at the losers' studio.
  • Marisa has done the most number of manzai: six (not counting the one with the fake Marisa; the bonus one with Rinnosuke from the 4th GP; nor the one from the remake of the 1st GP).
    • She has also appeared doing manzai in the most number of editions: four (1st, 3rd, 6th and 8th). Tewi and Reimu are tied in second place with three.
    • Moreover, she has changed partners more than once. She has been with Alice, Reimu and Rinnosuke.
  • Marisa, Utsuho, and Orin are the only characters who have gotten into the finals twice.
  • Even though she has appeared as both a host and a judge, Sakuya has never done a manzai at all. This is not a coincidence, as she even declares she is too busy doing her job as a maid. However, Shikieiki states this is because she didn't have a good partner.
    • Shikieiki didn't reveal who Sakuya's partner was at that time, but Sakuya is seen next to Koakuma at the losers' studio in the 8th Grand Prix.
  • The Mountain of Faith and the Undefined Fantastic Object casts are the only two in which all characters have participated in manzai.
    • The UFO cast is also the one with the most number of losers: None of them have won a Grand Prix and only two have got into the finals.
    • On the other hand, the Subterranean Animism cast is the one with the most number of winners: four (Utsuho, Rin, Parsee and Yuugi). Satori and Koishi also got into the finals once.
  • MikoMiko Spark have been the only resurrected losers who have won a Grand Prix.
  • TeiResen have been the only couple to break the 10 minutes time limit.
  • In the 5th Grand Prix, Nue transforms in various characters: Reisen midway the TeiReisen manzai (you can tell by the different colors of her ears and you can see her silhouette when Tewi attacks her); Murasa that apppears during Nitori and Hina's manzai (you can see the different colour of the scarf); and Chen during the last judgings.
  • In the 6th Grand Prix, the antenna placed on the TV which broadcasts Yorihime from the moon is actually the face of Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
  • Mima is the only character from the PC-98 era who has made a cameo.
  • Iku Nagae is the only character from the Windows era who hasn't made a single appearance.
  • Nitori, Hina, and Tewi are the only characters that have done a manzai in two consecutive editions.
  • Yukari and Akyuu are the only characters who have been judges in two consecutive editions. Komachi can be considered too as she replaced Shikieiki in the 3rd Grand Prix.
  • All the characters from Mountain of Faith appeared in the 3rd Grand Prix.
    • All the characters from Subterranean Animism, appeared in the 4th Grand Prix.
    • All the characters from Undefined Fantastic Object appeared in the 5th Grand Prix.
    • All the characters from Ten Desires appeared in the 7th and 8th Grand Prix.
  • The 7th M-1 Grand Prix is the very first edition that doesn't feature any member of the Yakumo family (Yukari, Ran or Chen). Yukari and Ran returned for the 8th Touhou M-1 Grand Prix though.
  • The 8th Touhou M-1 Grand Prix features the most number of characters doing manzai who are taken from Touhou mangas: four (Rinnosuke, Kasen, Akyuu and Kosuzu).
    • It is also the very first Grand Prix ever to feature two male characters doing manzai: Rinnosuke and Unzan (actually the only two Touhou male characters with official portraits).
  • Hata no Kokoro makes an in-credits cameo in the 8th Grand Prix.
  • Nitori, Hina, Yuugi and Okuu are the only winners of a Grand Prix that haven't appeared as judges or hosts yet.
  • Since the 1st Grand Prix, Lily White has been known for being speechless, communicating only with the chirping sound she makes in Phantasmagoria of Flower View. Nitori invented a voice translator for her, using the voice of Hatsune Miku.



Warai no Uzume no Mikoto

Image-8B47 4FAC1C2A

Warai Uzume no Mikoto's censored face.

Warai no Uzume no Mikoto, one of the judges for the 6th Grand Prix, is an original character, which is probably why her face is censored. She is the goddess of laughter and comedy, and she might be based in Ame no Uzume no Mikoto, just adding "Warai" to her name which means "laughter".

She has won several Lunarian M-1 Grand Prix, and she is also a judge for the preliminary rounds of the "Kingdom of Gods M-1 Grand Prix". She is seen in the credits roll of the 6th Grand Prix next to her partner, who is a man probably based on Sarutahiko Okami, Ame no Uzume's husband.

Warai Uzume no Mikoto participating in the 108th Lunarian M-1 Grand Prix.


Go-Reisho Document

The Go-Reisho Document is a book written by the goddess of laughter herself. Whoever reads this book will gain as much skills for comedy as the gods.


Warning: Several spoilers below

During Kekkai Shoujou's judging in the 1st Grand Prix, Yukari asks Ran to get a human for her. At the end, Ran kidnaps Marisa for Yukari.

In the extra scene of the 2nd Grand Prix, Marisa reappears in front of Reimu. Marisa tells Reimu that she was able to steal the Go-Reisho Document, and that way, they would win the next Grand Prix easily.

Marisa officially comes back as Reimu's partner in the 3rd Grand Prix, however, Alice had used a fake doll Marisa as a replacement. When Alice sees the real Marisa coming, she explains herself saying that everyone had thought Marisa had been eaten by Yukari.

In the 6th Grand Prix, Warai Uzume, the goddess of laughter, appears as a judge, next to Yorihime and Yukari. The prize for this Grand Prix would be the Go-Reisho Document, which was won by Tokamak Club, but happened to be fake as Shikieiki's stated in an intermission. Then, Yorihime explained what really happened, just before Yukari fled:

Marisa exchanged the actual Go-Reisho Document for a fake one, the one that was used as the prize for the 6th Grand Prix. When Yukari kidnapped Marisa, she kept the actual Go-Reisho Document, erasing Marisa's memories. However, while nobody was at Yukari's house, Komachi had gone to get back the actual Document.

Shikieiki and Komachi, together as Binary Drop, then had to defend their property over the actual Go-Reisho Document in a final round against Tokamak Club, which they won with an unanimous decision by the judges.
