So turns out this whole trading card game also played into the hands of Chimata, who used the "ritual" of buying and selling as worship to regain her power. That's definitely one of the more clever things I've seen. What are the limits of doing that, though? Like, at what point is an action no longer able to count as a ritual and is just a thing you do?

Also, the song feels like it doesn't have a single climax, instead continuously mini-climaxing and building up forever. Continuous growth, just like the marketplace demands! Ability cards to the moon! Yeah!!! (It does fit her well, though. I like it!)

...Why do so many of the recent maingame bosses have fire auras, anyway?

The soundtrack comes from 東方虹龍洞　～ Unconnected Marketeers, the 18th Touhou game. Featuring Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, and Sanae, the game centers around "Ability Cards" that can be purchased over multiple playthroughs and equipped onto your character to grant various skills.
