This game was a culmination and completion of a promise that went unfulfilled as I played through 20+ Touhou games. I started playing Touhou with HSiFS. I met Okina, I loved Okina. Was excited to learn there were other sages of Gensokyo. I watched MinusT's Youtube animation, and there I met Yukari. Learned she was a fan favorite, but more importantly I learned that she attacked with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trains! How cool is that? Found a site to dl PCB. Cut my teeth playing through the extra stages. Finally got to Yukari fight, and with every new spell card I knew she would attack me with a train. Finally beat her, and was profoundly disappointed with the realization I had just beat Ran 2.0. There was no train.

Got through main series, went back to play the spinoff/side series/gap games. Fighting games are really not my style, and was literally playing them for the plot/lore. Resigned myself to never getting attacked by Yukari's train. This was the last fighting game I played, beat story mode and was satisfied with the large amount of character interactions. Still something was missing.

Eventually, with some help I figured out what I had been missing. The abandoned covenant was finally fulfilled after playing through 22 games. Yukari threw a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ train at me. This game has brought much needed closure, and for that I am grateful.
