I've been waiting for this pool to be updated since the moment I saw the announcement. Ignoring my delusion hopes for characters, I am happy to see Sakuya back.
But this picture was made as a direct reference to Sakuya returning as a Playable Character in Double Dealing Character. Look at all the art of Ichirin's new design in the hopeless_masquerade tag. Or how post #864367 uses the ten_desires tag.
I've only played a couple of Touhou games and I've sucked balls at them, so normally I shouldn't care about playable characters. Why is it then that I can barely contain my excitement upon discovering Sakuya's return in DDC?

HM Ichirin has a distinct look that says it's obviously HM. Besides, there's nothing of her in the HM tag that isn't official_art or a direct reference, with the other pictures of her including copyright_name or character dialogue about her appearance.
