Reisen Two pulls off a move similar to Disbelief Aspect. Can all lunar rabbits perform Reisen's moves?

What evidence do we have? And if we don't, which makes more sense: for Udonge to be a "one-of-a-kind" lunar rabbit chosen by Eirin to bring with them to earth, or be nobody special (thus giving more weight to how she saved the Lunar Capital in Touhou 15)?

iirc the wavelength manipulation ability is exclusive to Reisen (for now at least), so she is definitely a special, if not powerful, lunar rabbit.

Also lunar rabbits are trained soldiers, and fairy maids from SDM are not known for good at combat, or anything desu.

The only impressive power fairies have is the ability to be somewhat immortal by the fact that they respawn later even if destroyed.

Wow, she beat up three kids. So strong man.

She's somewhere in the middle probably. She's definitely more special than the rank and file mob soldiers who have no abilities, since her lunatic eyes seem to be unique to Reisen. But Seiran and Ringo have unique abilities too, even if they're weak and Seiran is kind of the go-to comparison for slightly better than nameless mook foot soldier. So I'd say she's more important than nameless rabbits, but other than serving the Moonbitches and Eirin directly, theres nothing to indicate she would be the highest class in the army. Or maybe that in itself is the indication, but iirc Reisen 2 doesnt have any specific great ability other than being combat trained.

It's not very surprising that a trained soldier would be able to beat fairies in danmaku. The fairy maids arent very strong or smart. I'd imagine most low level characters could beat anyone weaker than Cirno.

tl;dr she's powerful for sure and presumably a good deal stronger than Seiran/Ringo but we don't really know how she compares to the top ranks in the army, nor do we know how much stronger she's become while on earth

she should also put her blazer back on

>she should also put her blazer back on
I wish she did, but Udonge is now a "Gensokyo" rabbit. Maybe she sees it as a symbol of subservience to the moon, and chose to get rid of it after the events of IN.

Reisen uses manipulation of waves to make herself invisible and create clones of herself (among other things): in the first volume of SSiB we see Reisen Two do a vanishing trick to Reimu.
It was not clear how she did this, maybe because of superrabbit speed or teleportation, but if this were derived from the same abilities that allow Reisen to perform Disbelief Aspect, then it seems that wave manipulation is not unique to Reisen. So far, wave manipulation is the only ability that Reisen has demonstrated.

Eagle Ravi rabbits have pretty lame abilities, but they have unique seeming abilities nonetheless. Could they be "more powerful" than rabbits like Reisen and Reisen II, possibly possessing both wave manipulation and the abilities they have shown in Touhou 15? I am inclined to believe this, since they have a special uniform and all, and if they stand out they've got to be special.

This. It's too good to pass up. Don't give me that "oh it's symbolic" crap, own the look if you want to shake off those shackles, ditching it outright is just running away. We're supposed to be past that!

Where do rabbits even get their abilities?

>>19306074
Where do you think dum dum

>>19301952
Doesn't it state that Reisen is an exceptionally powerful lunar rabbit due to being actually loyal to Eirin and Kaguya?

>>19306161
Loyalty equals power? How's that work?

>>19306079
If I knew I wouldn't ask.
Youkai can do what they do because that's what we thought up for them. Myth and faith and all that. Lunar rabbits don't work like that. So why can this rabbit control waves, and this rabbit teleport bullets, and why can any of them do anything like that at all?
Magic and you don't have to explain shit? Machinations of a bored god? Sinister lunar science? Centuries of unblocked solar radiation? Were they actually born like youkai, and all the stories about crazy killer madness bunnies with finger guns and awesome blazers lost to time?

this is very explicitly not the case, eirin left like a thousand years before reisen's time

yes


Reisen is said to have been particularly talented by Yorihime and Toyohime in CiLR Chapter 3. The rabbit soldiers aren't very strong in general but are definitely going to be stronger than mook fairies.

>>19306161
all these bullets flying around, what a waste

>>19301952
I'mma point to LoLK where in her route she can beat all the people involved, so yes, most likely stronger then the average moon rabbit.

>>19301952
General fairies are some of if not the weakest supernatural entities, a regular human could do the same.

What's Reisen Relationship with Humans?

>>19310708
Platonic

>>19310708
She avoids them. Leaves the village right away after selling medicine and all that.
It's a shame. She left the Moon in favor of Earth, but isn't actually interacting with most of it's residents. Please don't avoid us, Reisen, we're nice.

Clearly not, as she was defeated by the duo of Buzz Aldrin and Niel Armstrong.

>>19310708
a commercial one at best

>>19310708
Used to be strictly, reluctant, business. Now it's better, and she smiles around humans and stuff. She really used to be a right pompous, stuck up cunt to humans and earthlings in general, now she wants to protect the Earth (while defying Eirin, who doesn't care what problems Gensokyo or Earth face)

>>19301969
>saved the Lunar Capital
Well, the funny thing is only her bad ending says "to be continued on the extra stage)", so chances are she didn't. Considering that ending, though, she made it to Clownpiece.

>>19301969
Eirin didn't choose Reisen at all, nor did she even know about Reisen as far as we know. Reisen went AWOL and sought refuge at Eientei after going rogue. Eirin considered killing her but decided against it, not that Reisen knows this. She is kind of special regardless for having actually left (most rabbits are too scared/lazy to even try) and for her unique abilities. I think it was also mentioned that overall she had the makings of a good soldier, which I guess is saying something considering moon buns are terrible soldiers, overall.

>>19312494
I like to believe her triumph is canon if only because it's so weird that she's there at all. She's, I'm pretty sure, the first total non-human to be a mainline protagonist outside of the Phantasmagoria games, so I feel that should be special. That and her story was the most interesting.

>>19312524
If you're counting both phantasmagoria games, then the first non-human protag would be Mima and Yuuka. Unless PC-98 Marisa wasn't human either. But yes, following only the mainline Windows games Reisen's the first true non-human PC. Though it does make sense for her to be there. The moon was under attack, Eirin sends her to help and then she fails. But does she really? She may not have beaten Junko, but it's likely she did beat the fairies, and Eirin didn't realize Hecatia was involved until Reisen told her. Just because she didn't single-handedly solve the incident doesn't mean she didn't do anything, and that makes her story more interesting to me, at least. It also means all four characters went to the moon, but we don't know if that's how it usually goes or if they did it because of how much was at stake.

>>19312821
About Clownpiece, until Reisen told Eirin about Clownpiece.

All moon rabbits can communicate long distances by transmitting psychic waves from their eyes and receiving them with their ears.

Before she left the moon, Reisen the First was talented enough for Yorihime to comment on it.

So it seems to be a matter of special techniques rather than a "superpower". She's like that radar technician who invented the microwave oven.

>>19310708
Serious

>>19301952
raisin is the most powerful touhou character because she has a gun

>>19323068

>>19323068
Eight guns, actually. Maybe ten.

>>19323068
No and stop shitposting.

>>19323068
But Rinnosuke, Sumireko and [UNNAMED HUMAN VILLAGER] also have guns.

>>19312821
>>19312524
Why doesn't IN count?

>>19327212
since the "protagonist" of each route is the "human"

Definitely worth mentioning, though.

Her power is to control ALL waves and anything that can be thought of as a wave though. Brain waves, light waves, sound waves.

>>19327262
Neat

>>19327262
tidal waves?

>>19331432
No

>>19334916
but it's a wave :D

>>19312004
I'd initiate a commercial relationship with Reisen... if you know what I mean

>>19336909
What do you mean?

>>19341995
I mean I'd give her some of this in return for her "services"...!
