Introduction
A large spread of misfortune over Gensokyo can only mean one thing: the delay of Spring! Well, two things: the delay of Spring and another incident to resolve. In the case of Touhou LostWord, that calls for another event of point collecting and battling more unique enemies.
This page will go over every event stage and cover the special names each enemy, either a generic opponent or unique Friend, in the order of when each stage released, starting with Day 1 and ending with the Extras. The end will contain text and items only obtainable during the event and conclude with a reflection on which character appeared the most over each event stage.
Let's take a look at all of our unfortunate opponents!
Cheers 1-3

The character in this event who was caught with the most misfortune was Youmu Konpaku, appearing twice as an indirect victim in Worried Sick and returning as a maid in Not Worried Enough?! While showing up the most might be a good thing to boast most times, our Myon-ing gardener would probably disagree during this incident...
