Behold, my true power! Because holy crap this challenge was... well, challenging. A Lunatic no-bombs 1cc with a B shot, and especially with ReimuB, has to be one of the hardest things I've ever done with Touhou, if not the hardest. I don't think I've ever failed a full-game challenge as many times in such a short amount of time as I have with this. Part of it may have to do with the shot I used, but I knew that going into everything with this game. A bigger issue was me not using more optimal routes for life fragments, because at least some of that was due to laziness on my part - I'm too comfortable with the routes I've been using and couldn't be bothered to improve them without extra "motivation". I think going into this, I felt like I could use my normal routes without issue as long as I didn't completely trainwreck on any of the bosses - imagine my frustration when that kept happening to me over and over and over again, because the bosses in this game are just that hard. Indeed, this replay ended up being one of those runs where I didn't lose too many lives all at once, and you can see just how on edge I was throughout the entire second half of the game. It basically took some really clutch dodging on several key attacks for this run to even be possible.

But you know what? All my critiquing doesn't really matter anymore because I FREAKIN' WON and I can't properly express just how happy I am that I finally pulled this off. DDC has been a hell of a ride, and while I may not play it again for a long time (I desperately need a break lol), I'll always remember this game for all the challenges that it's provided, and that I've overcome.
