This looks like it could be soul crushing depressing, if my guess is right Kanako and Suwako have run out of faith and are fading away(Kanako's lower half is transparent-ish). Poor Sanae

No....no....it can't be true she's fading away! NOOOOOOOOOO! Kanako-SAMA!

I'm afraid that seems to be the case. Seeing this you can tell why Sanae tries so hard

It's not fair Why Kanako-Sama

So this belongs in depression pool for Touhou fans. The shrine is no more her family is gone, I teared

If this ever happens, I'd cry too.

Well to prevent it make it a once in a while trip to go up there and give them some faith. I guess that's the death of a God for you. If Kanako didn't do this it woulda been Suwako.

Thanks for that i didn't even realize that Suwako was still solid. Still bad to lose a parent and friend, I just realize how bad it is for Suwako who has been with Kanako for generations.

yeah it is. Sanae has to gather faith for 2 and if gods in gensokyo die by losing faith well....I guess Kanako's plan to make herself the frontal figure while Suwako does the background work saved Sanae's blood family in the end as well. if they lost faith, Kanako is the one who dies instead of Suwako since Kanako is the "salesmans who gets the credit" even though Suwako does the work. Kinda like a buffer.

Kanako looks like " well it didn't work out all that well in the end huh?" Poor goddess. I do like kanako.

Its Kanako the warrior goddess she won't break unless it comes to Sanae or Suwako and since she is leaving she will leave with a smile and the pride of a king. After all she is leaving Sanae in the hands of her partner of so many years Suwako. Still sad anyway I look at it

im at loss for words..

Tears fell in waterfalls. God, that's just so... so... *cries*

Darn it people it looked cute then you all pointed out how sad it is.

TT_TT

I suddenly respect Sanae a lot more, if this is what she wants to avoid with her work.

I remember another pic I saw with the theme of Kanako and Sawako leaving, it didn't bother me until I saw this one.

It was post #477552

*Opens photoshop and adjusts Kanako's transparency, adds a crowd of people in the distance, and adjusts Sanae's mouth to make it look as though she is crying out of happiness.*
Now the picture is tolerable.

I saw this image in way lower scale few days ago and i didn't see that Kanako was fading away and I was like "wtf is that?" Now when i looked at this i cried and understood what i didn't before

Chill out, men. For the god to disappear, every single person who recognizes the god as a god has to either die or lose their faith. And that's pretty much fucking impossible given the current Touhou fanbase, especially Suwa shrine fans.

True thank you Justy we have some hope now

This ring some nostalgic bells in my head, but I can't seem to put my finger on it.
Could you remind me where your quote is from?

Gen. MacArthur

Except, of course, he was talking about soldiers, not deities.

Of course. It's a pretty exploitable quote.

i didn't want to enter in this pool... but curiousity won...

fuuuuuuuuck, i really shouldn't have entered

This one's so touching. However, I can't stop laughing because I imagined Sakuya, grinning evily, pulling an extention cord out of a wall socket marked "Faith."

"Who's your mommy now, 'good girl?'"

Yeah, I'm going to hell...

am i a pussy because,despite being a guy,i teared up here?
lol

The First time i saw this pic.. My tears come out without warning... nice pic

I admit, I don't like Kanako at all, but if she does what she does for the sake of Suwako and Sanae, then I'll have a whole new respect for her.
