Description
I have long found Reimu Hakurei from Touhou, and Mystic Ninja Goemon from Ganbare Goemon, to be very similar characters. My inspiration for this came from that fact of how similar they are. So I decided to draw what it would look like if Reimu had her own Battle Mecha, similar to Goemon'sWell here you have it, the Super Robot, Reimu Impact. This massive mecha is modeled after Super Robot, Goemon Impact, but more Reimu styled. I would imagine some of Reimu Impact's attacks to include Yin-Yang Beam, Chain Miko-staff, Coin Shots, R-Kick, and Hakurei Punch. Standing on the shoulder here is Reimu herself, who would be the designated pilot of this Robot, and also gives a size reference to how big Reimu Impact would be.
I have long been a fan of both the Touhou series and the Ganbare Goemon series, and I have found both of them to be very much alike. Both of them have similar storylines, take place in a similar Mythical-Japanese land, have similar characters and enemies and monsters much more. I just had to express this in an artwork somehow, and this is what I decided on.
Goemon Impact was one mech I enjoyed a lot in the series, and I'd love the Mech Battle stages, where Goemon would pilot Goemon Impact and face against a colossal-sized threat.
I'm actually surprised that I have barely seen anyone attempt this sort of crossover before, even though the series are so similar. I like how I did the shading here, especially on Reimu Impact's orb-like arms. Reimu was sort of hard to draw that small, but I think I still succeeded. The background looks actually somewhat impressive too, better than my usual BG's. I'm quite happy with this too. I bet any Goemon or Touhou fan will love it just as much as I do too. Also a little fun-fact is that while drawing some of this one, I actually was listening to the track, "I Am Impact," to help motivate myself.

Ah, Ganbare Goemon - there's another good one. I didn't care all that much for Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the N64 (I could barely ever tell what I was supposed to be doing in that one, and the combat system left much to be desired - how the heck did I even beat it?), but Goemon's Great Adventure is one of the N64's hidden gems! With the addition of Ms. Impact and the way it switches to a mini cutscene every time you catch an enemy with a special attack, the battles may have been easier, but they were way more fun and dynamic than the other game. My biggest complaint is that you couldn't redo the castles at will, so you had to make separate files specifically for your favorite fights (mine were Ryuugu Palace and the Underworld Castle).

Oh yeah, another Goemon Fan!
Both Touhou and Goemon have a lot of inspiration from Japanese Mythology, which is why I made this. Heck, Reimu herself is in many ways like Goemon.
I also played some of the older ones on the NES, and they were great! Those ones are sadly lesser known.
Did you know it also once had a short-lived anime series? In the anime, they all get sent into the Real World, Fat-Albert-Movie style, and have to stop this one villain in it, Seppkmaru, who now wants to conquer the real world instead. Although The anime wasn't that good to tell you the truth. Seppkmaru was just another run of the mill Queen Beryl/Rita Repulsa clone who sends out a random bad guy whenever his Rage Gauge is full, and the plot had some problems I could identify easily.
Also, Goemon and pals have al lot of Cameos I've seen in other stuff.
Like Sasuke appears in Yu-Gi-Oh as a card called "Sasuke Samurai" and there's also "Lady Ninja Yae" too.
And in Gradius Parodius, Goemon appears as a playable character, who shoots coin shots at enemies.

Which was probably built by Nitori Kawashiro, and funded with loads of Donation Money.

Thanks. I figured this would be cool to draw, since Reimu and Goemon are very similar.
