Alright /jp/ I come to you with the ultimate question.

Canonically, who is the strongest in the Touhou universe? No really. Try to keep your favorites out of it.

I am not a huge Touhou follower but I know there are ~110 characters so far in the series. Surely out of all of them one of them has to have some sort of "dominance or power" over all the others and always knows whats going on. So who is it?

Just another general Touhou thread I guess as well.

>> No.4233509

Not really an ultimate question, ZUN makes it pretty apparent.

It would be Yukarin but Reimu has plotarmor.
Therefore Reimu always wins.

Only with spellcard rules.

To the question: It's really hard to say. There are a few characters. Shikieki, for one, is an immortal and immutable judge of death. Yuyuko could kill you on command. Yukari has the power to bend reality in countless unimaginable ways. Mokou, Eirin, and Kaguya are completely immortal.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: It's impossible to tell and it's a question without a hard and fast answer

OP here. Like I said I am not familiar with all the Touhou canon and such.

Who is this Dragon God? Has he been in any of the games?

I thought even outside of the spellcard rules Reimu could plothax with ultimate dodging. Otherwise i thought Yuka and Yukari were generally considered the strongest.

OP here again. Interesting stuff.

Also what makes Yukari and Yuka so damn special?

I mean hell, the Lunarian trio are fucking immortal and just chill up there. Well except Mokou.

What about Sakuya. Surely she isn't just a 18 year old looking maid serving a master right? Hell have we even gotten her real name yet?

Don't waste my time with bullshit.

PMiSS is written by ZUN himself and is a canon print work. Dragon King hasn't appeared in the games but his emissary has.

If the author of his works says the strongest order of God is the dragon then who the fuck are you to declare it non-canon just because your favorite waifu wasn't named.

Immortality = you can't die *permanently*. Doesn't mean you can't get killed over and over again by someone stronger.

>Yukari and Yuka
Yukari is the closest that Gensokyo has to actual omnipotent being. She's one of the oldest youkai and has power to... Well, mess with anything.
Yuka's flower manipulation is just simple addition, rather than youkai of flowers she's a force of nature. She's another old youkai, and supposedly she holds the ultimate magic.
>Lunarian trio are fucking immortal and just chill up there. Well except Mokou.
They're just immortal. If you think that Mokou is about as powerful as Kaguya. She and Kaguya are the only bosses that die when you're fighting them so... Yeah. Eirin is probably strongest of the trio, and she's not powerhouse either.
>What about Sakuya.
Who knows. Maybe she's ex-Vampire killer? Maybe she's a schoolgirl from real world who just happened to get a power to manipulate time and then instead of killer herself, she decided to make use of that power? Maybe the power runs in her blood and her mother was killed as a witch? Maybe she just happens to be a maid with time-control powers?

The Lunarian power trio is Eirin, Toyohime, and Yorihime. Kaguya is canon weak, at least in comparison. Mokou is just tough as nails and full of flames, she doesn't have any kind of hax powers (and isn't a Lunarian).

Off-topic but from the Touhou Wiki

Mokou was planned to be a playable character in Hisoutensoku, but was scrapped due to a lack of time to balance her moveset; ZUN stated in an interview she would have been overpowered and would unbalance the game (the same problem was encountered with plans to add Kaguya to the playable roster as well).

This makes me a sad panda. Would have loved to play as those 2.

Yeah, that's why I steer clear of discussions about Yukari's power.
I'd like her to have limitations to make her seem less of a "she can do everything, fuck you" character but then there's no reason why she couldn't manipulate those either.

OP here. Thanks guys, appreciate the early morning discussion. Guess I am going to attempt to get some sleep now.

Interesting shit for sure. Guess we will have to wait until ZUN decides to pull something major out of his ass.

But just one thing before I go. Apparently on that wiki it said that Yukari led the youkai against the Lunarians originally and that the youkai lost. Wouldn't that kind of.....I dunno make them better/stronger?

And does the Dragon Gods reach/aura/radiance even affect Lunarians? Fucking dammit /jp/ now you've got me thinking.

Fuck now you guys have me thinking.

>> No.4233726

>>4233718
no, the "dragon" is an irrelevant non-character devised by ZUN to give people an out for power level discussion threads if they don't have the wit to describe how their character's vaguely-described-power is superior to other character's vaguely-described power.

Yukari wanted the gensokyo residents to lose then. Besides, the Moon lost Kaguya (power of eternity) and Eirin (genius, probably one of their better tacticians). Meanwhile, Gensokyo got both of those, and a host of strong recent immigrants/"allies" since then (SDM, Moriya Shrine, Reimu/Marisa/Alice, Byakuren's crew, that drunken oni, that bored celestial. So on and so forth. Of course, the Lunarians may have also gotten stronger, but if it comes down to it if Kaguya and Remilia ever had an occasion to work together I doubt anyone would be able to beat them.
