Trivia
Due to the Era will ended with the reveal of a Jesus-inspired ghost character, CaraPrincess started a meme saying that the role of Master and Slave between Youmu and Yuyuko (not the real Touhou characters, but in-universe counterparts of them) will be reversed then.


 * This meme have some basis in the character concepts of the characters in the series: Yuyuko is currently the inspiration for Yoshika Hakata, who is the servant of Megumi Kiyono (who is based on Youmu; Yuyuko's servant), and that means that in this Era, "Yuyuko" is the servant of "Youmu", but after the introduction of the ghost character, then the role is reversed since that character is also based on Yuyuko herself, and compared to that character, who is the Avatar of the Son of God, Megumi is inferior to them, means that starting from the second Era, the canon of the whole CCoCB series will be the same as the Touhou canon.
 * However, it is unknown whether she have plans to post the meme on Game Jolt once she is ready.
