Here's a clear of MoF's Stage 5 Lunatic without the use of lives or bombs.

I really, really like this stage. This is easily my favorite stage from MoF, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ranks high against all stages across the entire series.

Sanae isn't that tough compared to the other penultimate bosses (easiest being Reisen, hardest being highly arguable). Her last two noncards and her last card are throwaways, but all of her other cards pose at least a small threat. With ReimuB however, most of these cards can be taken out before things start getting uncomfortable. Either way, I still suck a bit at her second boss card: it was only until... well, a few runs before this one where I finally understood what the hell was going on and what to look for. In addition, her midboss card is one hell of a hitbox nightmare. Sanae, overall, is a fun boss. You just have to love her star danmaku, and I especially like her first boss noncard; I don't know what it is about it, but it's a blast to play.

And on a slightly related note, I fucking hate recording replays in MoF. In fact, I probably spent more time trying to record this run than I did actually playing Stage 5. Not only does MoF frequently crash (scratch that, it always crashes) at the end of replays, but it would then bloat my computer like no other and sometimes even require me to force shutdown. And as a final bitch slap, all this madness somehow re-locked the Extra Stage from my score.dat, so now I have to unlock it again (this is not a problem, but what the hell?). BAWWWWWW!!! (I had the same issue back when I was recording my Stage 4 video 2 weeks ago. Oddly enough, this never happened when I was recording... well, anything else from MoF: Extra Stage, VoWG (Stage 6), etc.)

Anyway, kero kero kero, battle of the mikos, faith is for the transient armpits, you get the idea.
