So is the plane immortal too? Or else that would cost a lot of parts

And number 2... why can one learn so much from looking up Touhou pics???

The answer to this is simple; many intelligent people enjoy Touhou, and plenty cross over into other genres. Check out all of the images in this series; henmere has provided this snippets for just about (if not) all of them.

Artist's commentary:
Hans-Ulrich Rudel , the ace of Luftwaffe aka "Tank Killer", is well known in Japan as the "immortal monster".
The line "No time to rest, we must attack again Gadermann!" comes from when his Ju-87 got struck down by enemy firepower, with Ernst Gadermann on board with him. Equally wounded, (it is believed that) Rudel said the above line and encouraged him to keep going.
In reality, in his autobiography he writes:
"I cannot say that I feel exactly in the pink, but my determination to fly outweighs every other consideration." When this was translated freely into Japanese, it wrote "No time to rest, we must attack again!" When this was posted on the internet, it is said that they misinterpreted the meaning and thought it was a line that he said to Gadermann.
The situation, "The poor Gadermann with 3 broken ribs encouraged to attack" was amusingly interpreted in Japan and this misunderstanding spread throughout Japan. Whether if Gadermann joined Rudel in the attack or not is unknown.

...wow. That was very informative *claps hands* Thanks, I enjoyed that read. Two things: Where did you find all this info, number 1. And number 2... why can one learn so much from looking up Touhou pics???
