I love this picture

The kindest is defintly Yukari.
She is kind enough to let our spirits into gensokyo once we die. Do you really think the fairies killed in danmaku respawn? how naive. We replace them, until the next danmaku run.
Besides, she guards gensokyo and its habitants without asking for any rewards, and she rebelled against the lunarians after she saw how bitchy they are.

I suppose the people who just saw it, like me, can't think of anything interesting to say because we'd pick "no". Granted that might not change things, but eh.

When you're arguing with a rock like "Yukari wins, end of story", you run out of things to say.

This thread has long exhausted anything interesting.

Yukari is still pretty popular among most of us, the problem comes more from fans hyping up her strength and making her out to be the mother fucking Flash of Touhou; able to achieve anything with her poorly defined powers and ought to be able to defeat anyone.

It ignores a key part of Yukari Yakumo, she's a schemer. A direct show of force simply isn't Yukari's style, it never had been and never will be. Sure it's fun for doujin artists like Chado to draw up a massive DBZ style fight, or for neck beards to argue about her capabilities, but the thing that makes Yukari so attractive as a character in the first place is her evasive twisted nature. Nothing she does is what it seems, schemes within schemes Yukari plots on the very long term in ways only a few could begin to comprehend.

For a true powerhouse character with combat ability, you need to look to youkai like Suika and Yuka, Yuka especially because of her direct nature. For a powerful but direct mastermind you've got Kanako who is clearly working towards her own agenda but it's not exactly hidden. In comparison Yukari's methods are convoluted to the point where it borders (oh ho) on insanity, she approaches problems from completely unexpected angles obfuscating her objectives with both clear and hidden feints.

The point is, when someone fights Yukari, she is never really serious, often smiling as she laughs off a defeat and retreats having spun the circumstances to her favour. Yukari has never been a direct force kind of youkai. She is a schemer by nature and her powers only support this.

Yukari only shows herself in front of people who are already too far gone to know what they are seeing.

Cause I know you feel sad.

I never really understood what kinds of powers she have. ok, she can move from place to place, and ok, she can remove the border between the realm of the dead and the realm of the living.
but where did 'yukari is fooling around again' came from? are her powers really that hax?

She could summon it from one of Chen's books and use it to destroy her enemies.

Stepping out to get some cat food

A personal favorite.

Yukari, just because she's Gensokyo's lone connection with the outside world. She brings back items sometimes but whatever else she does out there is a mystery.

Don't mind me, just popping out for a snack.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they abduct humans from the outside world for food. Some sort of rule that if they don't, Reimu will come and kick their asses.
