(this is a creepypasta and not a real story.) On July 17, 2009, ZUN organized an event on Touhou Project known as "The Ultimate Touhou Toubash" marathon. The marathon was conducted approximately 12 years after the airing of the first Touhou game, as it was meant to celebrate the 12 year anniversary of the series, Nickeolden allowed ZUN to air a show for Touhou. At the time, there were thirteen brand new episodes along with twenty reruns that ran for around two days. Not only that, but even during Nick@Nite hours, episodes of SpongeBob would sometimes air until July 19 when the final premiere was shown. However, at the time this marathon had begun, witnesses began to notice various bugs and screen issues with the channel. Viewers, from kids and adults alike, would rewind and record certain bugs that occurred suddenly switching to the next episode halfway through its screen time and suddenly skipping two minutes forward after the scene introducing Patchouli herself was shown. These were assumed to be technical glitches as one of the occurrences resulted in an on-screen graphic being placed on the screen. The graphic read: "Something has gone wrong and we are trying to fix it. We will be back to normal as soon as we can. Sorry!" These bugs would only last three hours after the marathon started. They would suddenly stop after the third hour and quality would resume back to normal for the next 21 hours. The next day came. Nick@Nite's programming would switch to Nickelodeon for the day, leaving one more day for the marathon to be finished. Overtime, viewers would make out very strange, almost frightening occurrences during the second day. These occurrences would come by every three to four episodes, as if it were a specific pattern set up by someone before they had aired. On a specific frame showing Patchouli's face, the screen would freeze, and complete silence could be heard for at least eleven seconds. After that time was over, the frame would immediately cut to a heavily edited version. The outcome was disturbing. Patchouli's facial expression was swapped to a threateningly angry, out of character grin for her. Her pupils were constricted, replaced with small dots completely devoid of iris color. Her mouth was unnaturally wide, and his teeth were tightly clenched. As mentioned before, six of these incidents would occur, and during the final episode airing, the same incident would occur one more time. Though this time, instead of switching back to the episode that was currently showing, the screen cut to a plain white background. After a short moment, a transparent image of Reimu faded in at the bottom of the screen. In a slideshow-type format, text would appear on-screen, showcasing insulting and degrading messages that were seemingly unproofread, theorized to be targeting ZUN. The transcript read as follows: "You are all so goddamn negative all the time, day after day hour after hour you're always upset expecting better. I wish you would for once shut your mouth and act like a decent human being for once in your life, think of the poor kids you brainwash with your festering attitudes, I'm ashamed to even be in the same room- no. The same planet as you are! Oh you poor poor baby, poor pitiful you, sad over the truth? You are an adult acting like an infant and it makes me sick... Well boo hoo! .... all of you! .... it all! You're all the reason art is dead, you're all the reason I relapsed! I'm done... Ugly sick disgusting abhorrent, horrid- you make me want to vomit!" Once the last line of text appeared on screen, a loud, yet poor quality recording would play of what sounded like a real mental breakdown. Recounts of the incident told that the sounds consisted of a middle-aged man grunting and groaning, with glass shattering and assorted objects being smashed near the microphone. This would last for around twenty seconds before cutting to the same on-screen graphic mentioned previously. The animation along with this was Remilia choking on her food before collasping.
