>> No.4654002

Since her profile (see below) says "she has a very cooperative personality and executes her duties faithfully," most fan works depict her as acting like a loyal, affectionate puppy.
Aya's spell card comments in Double Spoiler, however, contradict this personality, as Aya comments that she and Momiji tend to easily get into fights whenever they meet. Aya also comments that Momiji looks down upon the Crow Tengu.
Her profile says she plays Dai Shōgi, a game similar to chess, with the Kappa. Because of that, some fans think that she personally knows Nitori while taking a break from her job.
Momiji's wolf-like appearance may be a reference to the Tiangou, a Chinese version of a Tengu that are described to be more dog-like.

Okay, here is my theory.
First, ZUN made the PC-98 games, which weren't all that popular. He was quite a drinker, but it was still a somewhat reasonable amount.
Then, thrown into despair over what his life, body and job look like, he decided to drink himself to death. But instead the alcohol took control of his body. Everything from TH06-TH12.3 was not done by ZUN, it was done by the ethereal power of Alcohol, ZUN was merely an exoskeleton.
The Alcohol mede him Gensokyo into a happy place, since The Alcohol loves nothing more than happiness. Whether it's born from looking at something cute, or fucking a beautiful woman or having fun in a party, The Alcohol just wants us to forget about that's bad in the world and enjoy ourselves.
The Alcohol controlled him for over 5 years, but now he started to sober up.
I can imagine him, coming back to his senses like waking up from a long dream, watching from behind his eyes as his body malforms his creation into something completely mutated from what he wanted it to be. Days, maybe weeks spent thinking in terror "What am I going to do!? How am I going to make my child mine once again!? Should I even change it!? OF COURSE I SHOULD, BUT HOW!?".
Then he calmed down. He thought. He decided that this can't be a complete 180 degrees turn. If he'll slowly change it back, people will still like it, he will still be popular, and Gensokyo will be his once again.
So settled down at saying that Momizi hates Aya and Nitori drowns people.

Wrong. Humans eat creatures that they think are inferior to them (i.e., the creatures that pose no danger to them). And the only creatures we don't eat are the ones that are loyal/obedient to us like dogs and cats. But even that is a stretch because in some human cultures it's normal to eat cats and dogs (China to name a few).

I think ZUN is a pretty cool guy for doing what he did in this game. He killed some fanon with it, too. Of course, he still doesn't care for what his fans think, and I don't like what the fanbase does anyway, and neither does he, so it's all okay.

People assume Alice is a vulnerable lovestruck girl for Marisa? Quite the opposite is true. She's actually quite cold and detached.
And the same concept goes for other touhous.
Take Mokou for example. People assume she's either a tsundere fool for Kaguya, or a pyromaniac serial killer. Well, she's neither. Just a "health nut that runs a yakitori stand" and doesn't even socialize. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if ZUN says that she isn't as close to Keine as people say she is. She is after all, a loner.
And now Nitori is said to be a kappa who drowns humans? Lets see what the Touhou wiki things...
>Kappa (河童) are a type of water sprite that live in rivers. Often portrayed as having a turtle shell and beak, they're known for having a curiosity about humans, sometimes challenging humans to tests of skill, eating children, and having a love of cucumbers.

Well there you have it. ZUN is only abiding to canonical material like he always is. The only reason people are freaking out about this is because THEY made Nitori cute and lovey-dovey, not ZUN. Next thing you know, ZUN will be saying that Youmu cuts up humans that enter Hakugyokurou for Yuyuko and people will start freaking out that their soft Youmu would never do such a thing.

Saying certain things are the only things that hurt them is like saying certain things are the only things that hurt humans because you can't really harm a human with, say, splashing water on him. Youkai in general are weak to faith, you can't kill them with firearms in the same way you can't kill a human by disbelieving him out of existence. It is not superiority, just a different system. And we don't know how fast a serious, kill-or-get-killed Reimu can seal shit up, while it's sort of obvious what youkai can do physically.

Humans at a point were so strong that youkai were at risk of extinction. They're by no means weak. Youkai are scary the same way bears are scary. You don't want to face one in the middle of night, even though you have measures to survive.

It's a big superiority. Humans can be killed with anything. Sharp stick, rock or even just hands are enough.

Where did you get the idea that humans are weak? You have celestials, hermits and entire clans speciliazed in killing demons. Everyone one thinks demons are super strong because you have heavy weights like Yukari and Yuka. In reality any trained human can kill an average youkai.

In game Marisa and Reimu maybe high-mid tier but in reality they're GOD levels to average Youkai. I honestly think Marisa and Reimu are used to scare Youkai children: "Hey kids eat your vegetables or Marisa will visit you in the night and kill you just like poor uncle Fred."

A shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, who has the natural-born spiritual power and lacks training. She exterminates youkai by attacking with amulets, firing her spiritual power called Spiritual Attack and releasing the power of Yin-yang Orb.

As much as I hate to compare Touhou with shonen jump shows. To understand how Reimu, a human, is able to defeat youkai you have to take note of spirit energy. Just like in YuYu Hakusho, Bleach, and Dragonball, all lifeforms are born with a certain amount of spirit energy. Reimu is just a prodigy that was born with a lot of spirit energy. (Most likely thanks to her Hakurei lineage).

>First you would have to hit a being moving faster than a bullet, then penetrate few layers of magical defense and then cut deep enough to cause some serious damage. I guess few months of constant slashing could do it.
ZUN explicitly stated cutting youkai into several pieces will not kill them.

Reimu is a prodigy with grand power and the best youkai exterminator in Gensokyo, and she use at least centuries old amulets and orbs to fight youkai. She's probably the best exorcist on the whole planet.

This is what spirit energy is:

Second only to Sanae.

Daitengu are generally swordsmasters without equal. Tenma being an exception seems unlikely.

>>4659843
And even by Gensokyo standards she's broken.

This image pisses me off because it implies Suika, Suwako, Yukari, and Kanako are opposites in any way.

The picture isn't implying contrast or comparison of their looks, plot, or behavior. Instead it is comparing their power. In this case, Reimu's team vs Sanae's team.

It has been said that Yukari's hax is on par with the gods. (Kanako is a goddess.) Suika is an oni. In Japanese folklore, oni's were once thought of as invisible gods. (Suwako is a goddess.) And Reimu and Sanae are pretty much on the same level.

Not really. The only reason Sanae can exterminate youkai at all at this point is because she has Kanako or Suwako's help.

Sanae's lineage is more sacred than Reimu's. She's the descendant of a goddess (Suwako). And she has the power to not only fly like Reimu but also the "power to cause miracles to occur."

/jp/ sure does enjoy canon vs fanon arguments and powerlevels.

Read the fucking runes. One side says Youkai, the other says Gods. That's all there is to it.

That's even worse. Reimu's the most anti-youkai protagonist.

>> No.4661058

>>4660698
But she's still in the youkai-like camp of spiritual whatever users. So it makes sense.

Uh.... no, she clearly gets her power from gods. Did you miss the whole calling gods into her body thing in SSiB? Not to mention her shrine has its own god (who is pissed at her according to Byakuren).
