WARNING: ASSUME EVERYTHING IN THIS POST HAS SPOILERS TL;DR AT THE BOTTOM

So, I saw the similarities between Touhou Project games and the game Undertale, and I'm seeing very uncanny similarities....

Of course, I should not be surprised, as Toby Fox himself was a Touhou Project fan, and Temmie Chang also drew a few sketches of Touhou Project characters.

On the left hand side of this sketch is the character Hina Kagiyama, a curse goddess from Touhou Project

These pictures are sketches of the character Fujiwara no Mokou, an immortal that controls fire.

Also, this striking one RIGHT HERE:

The two songs playing together are Megalovania (I probably spelled that one) from Undertale (of course) and the other song overlaying it is a song from Touhou Project called Complete Darkness, which is the theme song from the character Mima. The melody is very similar.

Also, I've heard parts of songs like Battle against a True Hero sounding very similar to Touhou songs, mostly the trumpets.

The one thing I've noticed in Asriel's battle is his attacks are very similar to the character Marisa Kirisame's attacks. Just search on Youtube: Touhou Imperishable Night Marisa Battle. You'd see the similarities.

This further cements the belief.

There was also another twitter post I found somewhere that Ran Yakumo is Toby Fox's favorite character from Touhou Project, but I can't seem to find it again. Also, Ran's outfit seems very similar to Toriel's...

TL;DR

It seems pretty clear some songs from Undertale was inspired by Touhou. To be honest, I was surprised seeing similarities up close after watching a few videos and comparing. Not saying that either game is better than the other, but it's interesting to say the least.

Now! Onto the main part!

Which Touhou Characters fit as Undertale Characters the best? NOTE: To make it simpler for you, a Youkai is just a Japanese way of saying 'Mosnter'.

Flowey:

Koishi Komeiji- Her species is a Satori. Satori are able to read minds and have an extra eye floating outside of their body attached by wires that can read minds. However, her species is hated because of this, so she shut her third eye to prevent herself from reading other's minds. However, doing this made her unable to feel emotion, and she can manipulate with people's subconscious.

Seija Kijin- Her species is an Amanojaku. She loves making people hate her, as she feeds of negative emotion. How does she make people hate her? She can reverse things. Whatever something is, she can make it the opposite of what it was.

Omega Flowey:

Yuuka Kazami- She is an immensely powerful and elder Flower Youkai. Manipulating flowers seem like a weak power, until you factor in the fact that she could fire huge lasers out from her parasol. Twice at once. And her punch could probably turn a house into a debris field five miles in diameter.

Flandre Scarlet- Normally seen as a mentally unstable vampire, Flandre is an immensely powerful vampire with the power to make stuff blow up with the clench of her fist. She also has other powers but there are too many to list...

Toriel:

Byakuren Hijiri- Commonly nicknamed "Youkai Jesus". She is a Buddhist nun that believes Humans and Youkai should coexist, and is very forgiving.

Ran Yakumo?- Other than the similar outfits and being motherly to her shikigami, Chen, the similarities end there.

Asgore:

Remilia Scarlet- The elder sister of Flandre Scarlet, and a vampire, too. She is power, not as powerful as Flandre, though. In the first game she debut, she originally wanted to take over the world. However, after being defeated by the protagonist, she decided not to.

Utsuho Reiuji- A Hell Raven that can throw miniature stars. After gaining the powers of Nuclear Fusion, she became insane with power and planned to destroy the surface world, as she lived in the underground nuclear reactor. The main protagonist replies to this by beating her up. She now resides in the nuclear reactor and tends to it.

Sans:

Yukari Yakumo- No sane person could describe how trolly, overpoweredly broken she is. She has the power of boundaries, like the Boundary of Life and Death, Existing and Non-Existing, Knowing and Not Knowing, ect. Despite the fact her power can conquer her the galaxy, she is too lazy to do so, as it would require too much effort. She is normally portrayed as sleeping alot. Her Shikigami is Ran Yakumo.

I can't think of any others for the other characters. Anyone help?
