But there's one community off the top of my head that does things a little differently, and that's my beloved emotional wrecking ball, OMORI. Shippers of Sunny x Aubrey generally refer to the ship as Sunburn; Sun is not only part of Sunny's name, it's used in reference to him (as in, for instance, "The sun shined brighter when she was here"). Burn refers to Aubrey's fiery personality. The whole title doubles as a reference to when Sunny fell asleep on a car ride from the beach and his head rested on Aubrey's shoulder (while feeling "the tinge of tomorrow's sunburn").

This ship name spiraled into an entire suite of very imaginative names for other possible pairings as well. This includes Bushfire (Basil x Aubrey, Basil being a gardener), Suntan (Sunny x Kel, with Kel being an outdoorsy Latino), Baseball (Kel x Aubrey, Aubrey is based and Kel plays basketball), and the very popular Sunflower (Sunny x Basil). And then there's the fully established canon ship, Hero x Mari, which fans usually call... uh... HeroMari.

Anyhow, thinking about this made me wonder: If we followed the same sort of naming conventions, what would we call the various possible ships of Inyouchuu? And so I made a few of them up! Feel free to suggest better ones or think of more; this is just a few I thought of right away.

• Mikoto x Yamato: Sex&Violence (Yamato is horny, Mikoto is a violent tsundere)
• Mikoto x Sui: Rainstorm or Thundershower (Mikoto has thunder/lightning magic, Sui has water magic)
• Takeru x Sui: Typhoon (Takeru has wind magic)
• Nightmare x Mikoto x Sui: Midnight Rainstorm
• Ouka x Kikuka: Gardeners (Ouka means "cherry blossom", Kikuka means "chrysanthemum")
• Yamato x Kikuka: Deflowered
• Meioki x Kikuka: Stockholm (Syndrome, i.e. Kikuka was under Meioki's captivity for ten years)

Added from later in this thread:

• Rinko x Sui: Waterfox (Rinko has a fox transformation)
• Rinko x Kyoko: Double Tails
• Meioki x Ouka x Kikuka: Y-Junction (Meioki has a two-for-one deal on offspring-seeding organs, and you can figure out the rest from there)

So I'm guessing it maybe sold good, I know he was surprised in the Discord, initially. But it's maybe tapered off now...

I've had it plugged as my X site ever since it released lol. 

We can gift people JAST purchases now and I will probably definitely do so sometime. But that skews the data a bit too if it's just a few of us buying it...

So yeah, wish they had better marketing and us more connections. I'm not sure if that one YouTuber did it any help, who kind of just made fun of the game.

Naturally 99% of the merchandise is horny. So instead of spoiling a bunch in this thread, I'm putting up the warning here now and in the thread title. 

Can start with some cute stuff.

Really sexy acrylics. It's still odd to me during this era they didn't do any for the rest of the girls. I guess most of the other plaques and merch were the main four, so Ouka and Kikuka got some extras like this.

Technically I should start here. A Kowaku no Toki daki (sadly came like that and now it's totally faded! RIP). Some hard paper that were store advertisements for Etsu, some of the strangest stuff I own. Along with PSP releases of Shoku (the game in remote control playback style), Shoku OVA (with the bonus episode), the Etsu artbook, Aojiru Works, and a few telecards.

Last two are a bit more general again and some repeats. Physical copies, telecards, a phone holder, etc.

This is not the entire game! It gets as far as Bad End 1 and then cuts off, unfortunately. However, it does have quite a bit of lore and stuff in here, so I think a few of you will appreciate having this.

Based on the JAST Discord chat, it sounds like @NotImportant is one of our biggest canon lore experts, but let's see what details I can throw into our first post here. For some reason, the second game comes to mind a lot at the moment. I threw a few OG lore bits in here, but I believe he's working on a much more in-depth comparison that I'll be excited to check out, so I won't step on that too much at this time.

• In Shoku, when a lovestruck Kikuka boldly asks Yamato to go out with her, he objects on the grounds that she's a little too young for him. Cue her reveal that the twins are, in fact, 414 years old. Given the "cursed for 400 years" plot detail, one can reasonably assume their original demon attack and subsequent curse happened when they were 14.

• Kikuka's hair is shorter than Ouka's because she had been grabbed/restrained by her hair by one of the monsters before being cursed, and cut it off to escape. Evidently, the curse makes her hairstyle immortal as well.

• Curse, or blessing? I believe it was originally stated in the game that the twins were cursed with immortality by Meioki, the second game's demon boss and the self-proclaimed King of Hell. If I'm understanding correctly, he also stole, possessed, and repurposed their own father's body to create his form. With all that being said, though, a more recent game kind of retcons that, instead going with the story that their mother cast a blessing of immortality on them in order to protect them from a demon invasion, then was killed by the demons before she ever had a chance to lift the effects.

• The Black Cat apartment is a wreck, with maintenance problems and paper-thin walls. Based on the few translated lines that I played through when testing the game on my laptop, the rent is super cheap as a result, though the Black Cats are possibly expected to do maintenance and housekeeping as part of their tenancy deal. That said, the bathroom is actually very nice in comparison with the rest of the apartment.

• There's a partial fan translation of the Etsu text, which I made sure to download from asu's Discord server. And literally the first thing that Mama Shiratori says upon meeting Mikoto again after all this time? "Welcome back, Miko-chan. My, my…… Have you got a little fatter while you were away?"

• Ayagami Village, the Shiratori sisters' hometown, is a six-hour train ride from the Black Cat Branch Office. Which absolutely destroys the "Mom lives within driving distance" scenario depicted in my fanfic Demon Hunting Takes Balls of Steel, but at least it fits among my other reasonable liberties taken for the sake of the story... also, there's the fact that Etsu isn't even considered canon.

• Nightmare is not the first demon boss's name, but only what species of demon he is. This is revealed in the original game alongside more Nightmare lore that I'm looking forward to hearing in full sometime. Apparently, hundreds of years ago he was beaten down by a group of exorcists and sealed underground in the distant mountains. Fast-forward to the 20th century, and the legend was long forgotten and a school was built on top of what nobody remembered was a demon seal. Thus giving him the opportunity to possess students and faculty as he laid out plans for escape and revenge.

• Tatsuya Misaki is basically straight-up evil in Shin'yaku, but in the OG story, he's only under possession. At the end of the story, Nightmare's (temporary) defeat frees him, and Takeru ends up giving him her phone number - with romantic intent, apparently. He never calls, though. Dude seriously missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

I wrote up about 3/4 of this a few months ago when working on my fanfic that built off of this as a base. Needed a reference for actions and dialogue that I could safely view anywhere I wanted to write, so rather than look at the actual OVA in places I shouldn't, I just watched through it at home and transcribed it. Mostly.

Well, now I finished it with the last 1/4 of the show, just to call it done! Hopefully somebody will find this entertaining... and/or perhaps be a reminder of your favorite scenes.

And I'm sorry in advance if you can never see a few of these scenes the same way again after my comments LOL

• New Inyouchuu game is surely coming!
• JAST licenses Kyou next! (perhaps after Hanamaru 2, but how about another double feature? Kyou and Goku! Alas, Shoku would make more sense and be cool too. I just need some Kyou scenes uncensored!!)
• New Inyouchuu OVA, perhaps a Kyou adaptation to finally see some anime Rinko
• How have they not done pregnant dakimakura's??? I need that
• Cute pregnant portraits while we're at it!
• Aojiru Works 2 artbook or something similar
• More Trio Design OST goodness

I'll start off by admitting I didn't know the actual purpose of Ouka and Kikuka's leg holster things, and I decided they were probably meant for Nokia phones. After all, those are immortal too, so it makes sense!

It's entirely possible that if this post still exists, it's on Anime-Sharing, in which case I have the entire 88-page thread backed up on my hard drive and I will eventually find it when I go through the whole thing. But I wanted to do another search and see if I could find that specific piece of information again. So I typed variations of that concept into several search engines.

Now, on one hand, I did not find a single relevant result, including on AS, but honestly I'm attributing that to the fact that web search just absolutely sucks these days.

That being said...

This is the real, actual page when I did the search on Bing.

I think this is quite possibly the funniest set of search results I could possibly get for a search about Inyouchuu.

I still haven't dived into these yet myself actually and didn't even know until now that they updated this with ones for Shoku, Etsu, and Kyou! Interesting. I'm not sure how accurate or much they pull from the main games.

I love our early Wiki entry on Mikoto so far:

https://inyouchuuverse.net/wiki/index.php/Mikoto_Shiratori

Quote:Mikoto Shiratori is the face of Inyouchuu itself and easily one of its most popular characters. She is generally bright and cheerful, though she has heavy tsundere tendencies and becomes more territorial as time goes on due to a romantic rivalry with Sui Kayama. Inyouchuu superfan EchelonV often describes her as being his wife.

Her given name is spelled 深琴, with 深 meaning "deep" or "profound" and 琴 referring to a koto or harp but alternately representing harmony or resonance. Her family name, Shiratori (白鳥), means "white bird" and is specifically the Japanese term for a swan and thus the implications of beauty and grace.

Hah. Well what is there to say. 

Mikoto has a bubbly personality and is a fighter, yet she's human and flawed too in holding in her emotions too much. Her fun and adventurous attitude while working off the other characters makes her immediately engaging to me and a joy to be around. And when it comes to the sex content, she still puts up a fight, reluctance, and isn't the easiest to break. I like the struggle (Sui can't say "no" in comparison haha), so it's even more methodical breaking down Mikoto. Her goofy on and off feelings for Yamato are charming. She's a goofball herself so they're a good pair. She'd be such a good friend to have I'm sure. For the main heroine and my wife, she covers a very balance ground. 

Body wise... where to even begin. Perfect. Sui describing her as "idol" like is so apt. Mikoto is like some rare blessed unobtainable type. Fit yet petite and youthfully graceful, womanly where needed, the contrast between her big blue eyes and cute earrings to match with her bright red hair is perfect. I always love ponytails and the cute bows, her various hair lengths are fun to see throughout. I've always been a legs guy and well, she probably cemented a mild preference I have for white stockings rather than black or other lace/leather colors.

Safe to say Mikoto developed very healthily. She has a huge rack that doesn't impede her tight body too much and while her buddy Sui or some of the older characters might have even heftier chests, Mikoto's silver dollar areolas are sublime... like my favorite candy in the world. lol

Design wise, I like her in Shoku a lot with the cute casual wear, and the Shin design is great too. I do like her newer Shuu/Wai era casual outfit a lot and it's fun to have so many variations of the sprite with different hair styles, or the bow out. Though the look is similar to Shin's, which I still think is better and cuter.

But if I had to pick a perfect one, the summer smaller schoolgirl outfit of Kyou/Goku's era and her perky stance is still my top favorite look for her. An absolute feast on the eyes... it is no wonder inhuman demons immediately think to impregnate her. She is the perfect female human.

What's better? No clothes of course...

  TentaclePoster2(UpRGB)(noise_scale)(Level1)(x2.000000).png (Size: 1.25 MB / Downloads: 12)

It's rare but fun to see her completely naked without the stockings, or even hair bow in some scenes. I'm not a foot fetish goon but I'd love to see her feet more, it's so rare haha. Cute when they show up though... every inch of Mikoto is perfection.

Goofy drooling aside, all these years later it just still blows my mind such a cute and charming looking anime girl is the avatar of one of the craziest nukige series out there.   I am blessed to see Mikoto naked so much, in so many insane ways and situations. 

I'll get back to the rest. I love them all! 

A good story and hentai needs a good evil compelling villain, and Inyouchuu has a handful of them that might be nearly as iconic as some of the lovely ladies.

Nightmare - The iconic humanoid upright horsedemon. This demon lord proudly enjoys his nudity, hah. He is a very powerful yokai that tends to refer to the girls, even Mikoto, simply as "girl" and disposable after he's done torturing them in Inyouchuu's crazy sexual ways. Capable of putting them in a Nightmare on Elm Street styled dream state as well, to which the Shin Remake kind of implies they "feel" just as they would in reality. He's a poweful and very meticulous, merciless demon, with the annoying "Imp" grunt who does a lot of his bidding.

Too powerful for the girls and Yamato to even cleanly defeat, he is ultimately sealed up in the first stories main canon ending. But is he gone for good?

Spoiler

No, Nightmare returns in Inyouchuu Goku, banging all the White Cat Brigade again, and manipulates Ai Hagio into believing the Shiratori clan killed her family or something. All while Nightmare casually rapes Ai and has her body cursed/re-designed (demon organs?) requiring constant semen ingestion to survive. While her sister Aki was mutilated and some limbs swapped with Ai's own (hence the arm/leg scars on both girls, or Ai getting bigger tits). Insane! I don't know how this story fully goes or resolves, if it was conclusive or part of the cliffhanger of Goku's story...

Nightmare's fucked just about all of them in the long run and got even more action in the Shin remake, which was amazing. Although kind of a standard big cock(s), it's still damning and big enough that it kind of pulverizes the insides of whoever he drills while he doesn't show any remorse. 

Meioki - Meioki was born a lesser pathetic weak demon, that fed on souls and dead bodies. At some point many years ago, he corrupts and takes over the body of Ouka and Kikuka's own father. Making it even more personal how attached these three characters tend to be, him cursing them with regeneration abilities, so they can be tortured again and again in the most insane ways possible. In the OVA, it it showcased that he drains spiritual energy through sexual intercourse too. Whom our lovely white mage Sui has the most potential for, might explain why he takes such a preference to her.

Meioki's perhaps most iconic feature is having one of the most vile, disturbing, massive set of two mutant demon cocks that are all pokey and uneven, surely being some of the most painful insertions in the world of hentai. This was an interesting trick in his appearance of Shoku and Hanamaru 2, his cock looks so inhuman, that they didn't censor it. But they did in one of the Goku era DLC's, yet it's that classic modern hentai joke where his cock is so big, the stomach bulge so insane, what even is the point of censoring? 

His cocks at work...

I believe in one of the best and possibly canon Shoku endings, he is dealt with by Ouka whom is extremely powerful when need be, even stronger than the other girls with her summoning capabilities. 

I do love the joke that Meioki is a lolicon. He has sex with Ouka and Kikuka a lot, also with loli Takeru in the Shoku manga. Something I wished happened in the game with Takeru, or OVA.

Yamato - The perv joker himself! It is a pretty cool idea that this series' main male character is a half-breed and that the third game leans into it. Based off the OVA, the idea of the girls having to willingly please and mate with him to keep his darker energies at bay, is kind of cool. But how good did the Etsu game do it? I'm not really sure how to judge yet. CG hardcore level wise, Etsu is a lot tamer than the other games and is lacking Sui, Ouka, and Kikuka... so it's a funky one. But yeah the "ideas" could be cool.

Gyuki - I love that Gyuki is based off some Japanese yokai: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushi-oni
I thought for sure there was a bit about this demonic entity being very gluttonous, perverse, and sexual... but maybe I made that up.  He is one I'm more infatuated with overtime. It really takes the whole bug sex idea to the next level, featuring a car/tank sized massive spiderdemon that fucks the girls personally. Only in a sparse few scenes sadly, but the Mikoto one is one of my favorites. There is a lot of potential with him and some fan ideas I think.

His cock is some giant, huge censored brown thing that almost looks like it has a tongue, eyes, or something at the tip. But I think there's also potential that Gyuki's genitalia might be a bunch of tentacles too. There is one Rinko scene with one of the nastiest and coolest looking tentacles, I'm not sure if it's part of Gyuki or not... I think there's a chance. Maybe someone can confirm or it's in English someday.

Syuki - The orange brute oni. He is brutal, hulking and size wise gives the past humanoids a run for their money, probably the bigger cock in ways. Personality wise? I'm not sure I have much to report on him right now and my friends who played Goku, I can't recall how they described him. He has a few good scenes, I love the one with Rinko, and the one with Takeru is real insane cum inflation wise.

Other Demons...

Mujyuurou... I ask, how was this guy not the main baddie of Goku? For my tastes, he's one of the best designs in the series. Just utterly disgusting in all the right ways. We don't see a cock shot but can you imagine how infested his weapons must be! I love that idea, even beyond tentacles, there are nasty demons like Mujyuurou here who ejaculate worms and bugs themselves...

These are some other interesting designs that didn't get much use either. The muscular bug faced demon is really cool as well.

Last but not least, giving the Mouryou no Nie mummy a shoutout. Don't even know his name, if he has one, but it's such a cool concept for a mummy with all bugs, centipedes, etc wrapped underneath. I'm surprised there wasn't a cameo or 2.0 version of him in Inyouchuu proper. 

Well that went all over. What do you think of the Inyouchuu Demon Bosses and designs?

(add some questions if you got them!)
