Yo /jp/ !

i've re-read ibarakasen recently, and in the chapter 31 (pics related), Tewi implied that she is a discarded pet, which means she is about 150 years old.
But in strange creators of outer world, it is stated that she is much more ancient, and have been around for a while.
So what do you think about it ?

also touhou lore thread, tell us about other conflicting canon in touhou, like the fairies height in the sdm

>>15893776
Fairie height doesn't seem like that much of an issue- even though the games aren't a good indicator of size there are clearly larger ones (Like the four winged ones) and smaller ones.

Also I am pretty sure Tewi is using group terminology because it's less awkward rather then contradicting SSIB, IN and the magazine simultaneously. Her exact age is a mystery and it depends if she was lying in SSIB or not, but it seems to be quite old.

Cannons don't seem to be very useful in danmaku but I am sure grapeshot would make quick work of most stages if you had the ammunition

>>15893797
indeed, fairies size seems to greatly vary from one work to another.

But what about lascannons ?

>> No.15893856

>>15893776
Just because keeping rabbits as pets became popular 150 years ago doesn't mean it didn't happen before then. She could have been someone's pet 2000 years ago or something. Or she could just be speaking for the majority of Eientei's rabbits, and her origin is something else entirely.

>> No.15893915

>>15893776
There's nothing stopping Tewi from having been a pet 150 years ago. She's still a rabbit, even if she is old.

>>15893797
>>15893850
I think fairy height is just misinterpreted by authors, like how some of them have drawn two Lilys even though there's only one. You can't have other artists without them injecting fanon. Officially it does say fairies are the height of a small child and less, down to palm sized, and only rare exceptions are outside that range.

Well they work fine in other danmaku games, and Reimu did fight several tanks before.

Makes me sad that we probably will never see Tewi going to kick Lunarians' ass in our lifetime since the plan she's going through will probably need a lot of time and I can't see ZUN doing timeskips directly involving Gensokyo.

She's generalizing.

She says 'us' meaning as in the youkai rabbits as a collective, Tewi herself is known to be virtually one of the oldest 2hu's in the whole series.

She wants to work with them, not oppose them. She wants to know potential weaknesses simply in order to do business more easily (via threats, probably)

Would Tewi still follow Eientei if she found out they sealed away her best bro?

Just because she was 1150+ years old doesn't mean she could not have been taken as a pet at the time.

Yes she's so old a character in her name has fallen into common disuse, and that stuff happens perhaps once in 500 years in any given linguistic script or alphabet.

Anything that isn't explicitly stated in ZUN's writing should be taken with a grain of salt.

As far as canon goes, it probably goes something like this.
Things written by ZUN > ZUN art (common sense applied here, of course, and his art isn't accurate enough to get a good sense of scale. Oddities such as missing fingers can be dismissed as artistic error) > Non-ZUN art in games > Non-ZUN art in manga/fanbooks

Chapter 35 is out, but does anyone know where to find chapters 33 and 34? I can't find them anywhere.

>>15893776
Tewi isn't saying she's a discarded pet. She's saying that discarded pets become her minions.

We already saw her defeat Yorihime. By accident. It was hilarious.

How is this a conflict? That chapter established that she believes rabbits pining after the ideal of human affection will become human-shaped demons faster.
She went through this in the prehistorical era with Lord Ōkuninushi, who healed her flayed skin.
