Look at what he did with 8: turn it in it's side, and you get infinity. The Imperishable, or infinite Night. Add in that the final/ex bosses are immortal, or infinite in life. Also consider the similarities between eight and night, and not just in english; I remember either someone commenting or a doujin about how similiar eight and night are in a lot of languages.
    That wasn't a doujin, that was Rinnosuke.

    Not mentioned, of course, is that Yukari was the 8th boss of the 8th game to contain Touhou characters, and the only 8th boss at that. Also if there are seven colours in a rainbow there are eight boundaries between them.
