Hypnosis? Impossible
“Hypnosis? Impossible” (催眠?ありえないわ, Saimin? Arienaiwa)1) is a non-canonical line that Touhou Project fans gave to Alice Margatroid, typically in an adult context pertaining to the hypnosis fetish. As a warning, many people may show disapproval towards the meme.
Summary
On February 12, 2017, an erotica author named “Nottu” (のっつ) would use the “Three Ramen Musketeers” meme from Oishinbo, a popular format on Futaba Channel at the time, in a context where the Touhou Project characters that were most likely to be used by beginners in a hypnosis-related situation had been put forward.2) This tweet has been shown and translated into English within the following chart.
| Original Tweet | Translated Tweet |
|---|---|
| 「東方催眠シチュ初心者向け三銃士を連れてきたよ」 「催眠三銃士？」 | “I brought in the three musketeers for beginners to use in Touhou hypnosis situations.” “The three hypnosis musketeers?” |
| 「催眠の実験台。妖夢」 「怪しい人ですね。変な動きをしたら…」 | “Youmu, a test bed for hypnosis.” “You're shady. Don't make any sudden movements…” |
| 「授業参観から保健体育の実践。慧音」 「今日は私の身体を使って授業するぞ」 | “Keine, who puts 'health and physical education' into practice since classroom visitations.”3) “Today, I'll teach using my body.” |
| 「導入から派生までなんでもこなす。アリス」 「催眠？ありえないわ」 | “Alice, who can handle anything from canonical to derivative.” “Hypnosis? Impossible.” |
At some point, this tweet captured the attention of an artist named “Kamukamu” (かむかむ)4) who would later illustrate Alice Margatroid opening up her dress, presumably under a hypnotic spell, which reveals a cute brassiere underneath that shields her modestly sized breasts.5) From there, the phrase slowly spread and it'd gain some traction over the following years.
Notes
- The Korean reading is just “Saimin? Arienaiwa” (사이민? 아리에나이와).
