I don't think he's flying. It's clearly quite stormy in there so the wind's blowing his clothes around.
I'm more interested in the smoking hand though. Looks like he finally got down to practicing his danmaku. Next thing we know he'll be revealed as Youki's true successor and all will be right with Gensokyo.
This is Rinnosuke after someone made fun of his fanny-pack.
But seriously, this is as badass as they come. I can only imagine him going like ''I will not stand by your bullshit! Face the strength of the man whose hands have touched over a million objects!''.
That, or avenging an injured Marisa. ''This will not end well. You will not end alive!''.

I love this pic and agree with the both of you. EPIC KOURIN FTMFW!
This reminds me of the epic battles we had back here in the human world... ahh... those beautiful middle ages when holding back meant you death usually... Guess I should pay him a visit for old times' sake...

Now that you mention it, he does bear a striking resemblance to Auron in this. He's even got a scar on his face, albeit not in the same spot. He's got a katana as well(although it is not as wide as Auron's), and his clothes are even similar.
If Rinnosuke is going to be a boss/playable, I hope Tokiko would be the mid/2nd shooter then. It would be awesome!
Rinnosuke and Tokiko for Touhou 14.5. (I don't think they would appear in regular danmaku-type installments given Rinnosuke's inability to use danmaku and Tokiko's status as a weak youkai, but you never know.)
