Tutorial stage

"But let me take you back 300 years ago. Queen Marisa, the founding mother of our nation's royal family, may have been born with magical talent and the ability to spray danmaku, but she didn't know on how to use it until she was two."

- Megumi Wasai The tutorial stage is a non-game stage generally played when Chuhou Joutai is booted up for the first time. It is intended to teach players how to play the game and such; this includes the controls and game mechanics, as well as the graphical user interface. Unlike other cutscenes, the player cannot skip them. Even if the tutorial has been completed, the player can play it again by pushing the Select button on their gamepad during the title screen.

Stage context
The stage opens with Megumi Wasai welcoming the player to the world of danmaku, and how Queen Marisa may have become the mother of modern danmaku. After the initial cutscene, it then goes into the tutorial stage where the player is tasked with pushing a couple of buttons to familiarize themself with the controls and attack methods. After that, there is another cutscene where Wasai explains the graphical user interface and items along the player's journey.

Background
The stage does not take place within any location in Kozan, but is a generic diamond-shaped background scrolling diagonally.

Forces encountered
The player cannot defeat any enemies in the stage, as there are no enemies to shoot at. The player also cannot hurt Wasai herself, as she is not a boss in any form.
