>未確認「遊抱戯画」(Unidentified "Scrolls of Wandering UFOs")
遊抱 (yuuhou) is not an actual word and is just a kanji representation of the pronunciation of "UFO" in Japanese. 遊 does mean "wandering/walking/playing" but 抱 has has the completely unrelated meaning of "hold" or "embrace". If you were to literally translate the card it would be "Caricatures of Wandering Embrace" but that makes no sense at all. 戯画 (giga lit. "caricature[s]) is part of the famous Choujuu Giga, an art piece that Mamizou references a lot in her spell cards because of reasons explained earlier. Giga is commonly translated as "scrolls" and chouju (鳥獣 lit. "birds and beasts") is commonly translated as "frolicking animals". Thus, "Scrolls of Wandering UFOs" is the most fitting translation. The UFOs Mamizou fires are in the same neon outline art that mimics the art of the Chouju Giga and is present due to Mamizou's association with Nue Houjuu and Mamizou's Urban Legend, Men in Black.
>＊満員のエイリアンボール＊ (*Crowded Alien Ball*)
>＊そろそろ帰ろうエイリアン達よ＊ (*Let's Go Home Soon, Aliens)
Both spell cards involve the gachapon capsule and alien motif talked about already. See "Alien Capsule" for more details. Also, "Let's Go Home" in the card refers to the tanuki described as aliens returning to the gachapon capsule but it could also refer to actual aliens returning to their home in the stars.
>＊宇宙機密漏洩！直ちに処置せよ＊ (*Space Security Leak! Deal With the Situation Promptly*)
Mamizou's Urban Legend Last word. She first attacks the player in a comical fashion with clouds emanating after every hit, another reference to one of Rocket Raccoon's Ultra Combos from Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 like presented in her "Belly-Drumming" spell card. She then dawns an MIB costume and uses a microphone shaped device to flash a blinding light at the opponent. This device is a reference to the neuralyzer from the MIB (Men in Black) franchise which, when used against a person, emits a flash of light that can erase their past memories. It's used when someone learns classified information about aliens, which is what the spell card name is referring to. Read "Alien Capsule" to find out about Mamizou's connection to aliens
>ポンポコ太鼓の達人 (Pompoko Taiko Master)
A skill. 太鼓の達人 (Taiko no Tatsujin) is a reference to the video game franchise of the same name. In this skill Mamizou has one of her tanuki followers turn into a drum while Mamizou herself dawns a taiko drummer outfit and drums, releasing leaf projectiles shaped like musical notes. "Pompoko/Ponpoko" is the sound tanuki make when drumming their bellies.
>化火符「妖怪弾幕変化　葉っぱ発破」(Fire Transformation Sign "Youkai Danmaku Transformation: Dry Leaf Detonation")
Shared with Fujiwara no Mokou. Nothing much, just a combination of abilities. Mamizou uses her leaves and Mokou makes them burst into flame. Dry leaves and dry foliage are the main fuel of wildfires, by the way. This card doesn't have much to do with Mamizou.
>槌化符「大判小判弾幕変化」(Mallet Transformation Sign "Large and Small Gold Coin Danmaku Transformation"
Shared with Shinmyoumaru Sukuna. 大判小判 (oban-koban lit. "large coin small coin") is a saying that denotes the possession of a large amount of gold coins (basically another way to say wealthy/rich). Shinmyoumaru's Uchide no Kozuchi (打ち出の小槌 lit. "tap-appear little mallet" commonly referred to as the "magic/miracle mallet") is a magic hammer that taps out anything wished for and is a common symbol of wealth. The oban (large coin) and koban (small coin) are old Japanese gold coins, the juxtaposition between large and small here connects to Shinmyoumaru's power to make things large or small using the power of her mallet. Nothing much to say here about Mamizou, the card name is self explanatory.
>雷化符「務光と葉っぱの弾幕変化」(Thunder Transformation Sign "Mukou and Leaf Danmaku Transformation")
Shared with Kasen Ibaraki. Mukou (務光) is the name of Kasen's raiju (雷獣 lit. "thunder beast"). The card name is self explanatory and doesn't have much to do with Mamizou.
>龍化符「ドラゴンズエイリアンカプセル (Ryu Transformation Sign "Dragon's Alien Capsule")
Shared with Kasen Ibaraki. Kasen has pet dragons. Mamizou utilizes giant gachapon capsules. Nothing much to add.
