/jp/ - Otaku Culture

It's not like Touhou characters really do much more than throw danmaku at you anyway, and they can all do THAT more than sufficiently.

Well as I understand, Nue can hide anything's true form. Now if this also means that it takes the properties of the thing it becomes, then it becomes pretty powerful. You could turn a piece of wood into Cthulthu.

>>3224347
Nue is an elder being, the only thing she would need to do is show her true form for a split second and your mind would be seared clean.

ZUN doesn't design all the Touhous to be awesomely threatening or anything, you know.
It makes more sense that the majority of them will have fairly mundane powers.

Oh no my powerlevelllllssssssssssssssssss

SA was pretty weird too - flinging down demon fire, manipulation of illnesses, manipulation of jealousy, control of supernatural phenomena (what), mind reading, the power to carry away corpses (what), manipulation of nuclear fusion (fuck yes) and manipulation of the subconscious (oh wow).

They might not be the usual manipulation of the five elements, or any other usual things actually, but their fights are still pretty cool.

Nue can hide the true form of her BULLETS

OH GOD LASER BULLETS

>>3224347
>Nue.jpg
So is that the newest Touhou final boss? Oh god that zettai ryouiki I have to play this

>>3224347
A Touhou player shouldn't underestimate "the powers to carry away corpses" and "the power to manipulate flowers".

>>3224363
Perfect for a sneaking mission

>>3224367
Her true form makes you laugh instead.

There's only so much powers you could give without some overlapping. Heck, Kanako's power to create sky seems pretty useless, but she's acknowledged as pretty powerful.

VEGETA! What does the scouter say about their powerlevels?

It's less than NINE THOUSAAAND!

WHAT NI- Oh wait...

>>3224416

Kogasa surprised you when she appeared as an extra boss so her power works.

>>3224427

YOU CAN NOT GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF NUE'S ATTACK

>>3224390
>manipulation of illnesses
When you think about it, Yamame can be either really helpful or really deadly.

Nue may look cute, but she's a slimy monster!

>>3224435
Boo! It was me, all along!

>>3224413
But, at least in one case, they overlapped.
Tenshi and Suwako have almost the same powers.

But we already know that the manipulation powers youkai get aren't necessarily a measure of strength. Sure, it helps if you've got some broken manipulation power, but they all have spiritual and physical strength and constantly pull shit off not mentioned in their actual powers (with considerable plot effort).

Yuka is the best example of this. Pretty useless manipulation power given for flavour, terrifying actual youkai power in terms of strength and magic.

I like Nazrin's power. It fit perfectly for the scenario and has a really useful application, she's a stage 1 boss so she's not expected to be a combat monster and the ability to find lost items and treasure is handy in a world where magical items of great power exists.

Captain Masura seems like she's kind of strong without having a sea nearby to shipwreck you into. Huge anchor danmaku is awesome and gives the impression she's throwing them at you. Her power and backstory are a rather nice element to her character. Chiyuri as much as I love her is pretty much just a subordinate that pilots her interdimensional ship, Murasa is a lost soul that died at sea rescued by Youkai jesus.

>>3224468

Tenshi also has her hax sword though.

>>3224444

Reimuuuuu... It feels g o o d....

>>3224402

>A Touhou player shouldn't underestimate "the powers to carry away corpses" and "the power to manipulate flowers".

Yuka's power to manipulate flowers is pretty useless, ZUN agreed, don't bother him about it.

Only doujin artists make it out to be actually dangerous.

Nue can`t kill servants. Discuss.

>>3224468
Tenshi uses keystones to make earthquakes.

Suwako is an earth god.

>>3224490
Play PoFV against Yuka and look at your screen.
Then you'll know what I mean.

>>3224511

That's danmaku bro.

Never understood her power.

>>3224525
Manipulation of PEW! PEW! PEW!

>>3224524
Flower danmaku

The treasures Shou attracts seem to have magic power.

>Maybe I'll test the power of this Vaisravana pagoda on you before I hand it over to my master.

>>3224539

Shou is the richest touhou. Here's Reimu trying to search for treasure.

>>3224539
Actually that treasure was hers to begin with, she's a disciple of Vaisravana.

Also Nue's conceal true form shit is a broken danmaku ability, she can decide to be a dick and send you bullets with twice their apparent size.

>>3224347
I came buckets.

>>3224549

Oh you!

>>3224525
Anything that apparently lasts forever, is because she commands it to.

>>3224549
She already found it, if you ask me.

>>3224594
Or rather anything she commands to last does it. Her house does that to become the single most boring place in Gensokyo where nothing ever happens. At least it doesn't need repairs.

>>3224599
Boring? An army of rabbits and a trap-laying bitch live there.
Not to mention the Lunar Expos.

>>3224599

That was a security measure. Do you realize how much rebuilding that hugeass mansion would take if it got brought down as regularly as Marisa's house?

Can Kaguya make an orgasm last forever?

>>3224599
So she can command people to freeze in time FOREVER?

For me her power loked more like superfast time jumps.

>>3224639
She is female.

We need a Tohoe with one specific suggestion power: can command you to shit on the floor.

Then we can all become true NEET bro's.

>>3224639
Why do you think she's a NEET?

>>3224649
Almost all of the touhous have this power

>>3224649
>Sarin, also known by its NATO designation of GB, is an extremely toxic substance whose sole application is as a nerve agent. As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations in UN Resolution 687.

>The short- and long-term symptoms experienced by those affected included:
>(...)
>loss of bowel control

And it even comes with a feminine name!

>>3224649
She can make you think you are sitting on the toilet.

Nazrin&Shou: oh look, a magical machinegun!

Kogasa: surprise throatslitting!

Minamitsu: you are fighting her on a ship.

Nue: it becomes more useful when you stand there wailing away at something which isn't her, while she stabs you in the back.

Where is my manipulation of bowel function touhou?

>>3224677
Her danmaku would be truly a shitstorm

Bowel girl: "Give up or you will shit bricks!
Reimu: "Shut up bitch."
Bowel girl: "OK I warned you."
Reimu: "OH SHI...!"

>>3224677
Then all these youtube touhou fans that are suddenly on /jp/ could pretend she is their favourite just like they pretend to not use the bathroom.

>>3224665

She's so lovely.

>>3224688
Mr. Hankey already did that.

>>3224692
Then Reimu shat bricks.
And then she died of internal bleeding.
BAD END

>>3224444
It's just like Arakune!

>>3224692
Violation of Danmaku rules.

She has to do it like him.

>>3224712
Not a direct violation. If she has 'manipulation of shit' she can make Reimu shit herself and then use that shit for perfectly legit danmaku attacks.

>>3224712
BEST BOSSFIGHT EVER!
I will never forget this guy.
