/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Where have you been reading? Everyone in /jp/ unanimously decided that Byakuren is far more powerful than Miko.

Oh, here we go.
Give me three good reasons why I should follow you Myouren guys.

Kanako is better than both of you.

>>9857492
Byakuren can make your wiener 3 inches longer and/or thicker.

You act as if the Buddhists stand a chance either. I hope the Emotional Skyscraper remix is good, it'll make beating you down so much more fantastic.

Byakuren and Miko a shit.

>>9857494
Yeah, sure.
And?

>>9857506

Her followers will beat the shit out of you (without her knowing) if you don't join.

>>9857491
>unanimously
I'll follow her to the end.

>>9857518

I'm glad you agree! I'll also follow her to the end, and back.

>>9857523
There is no end for you.

>>9857482
I hear that in this thread are talking about the best religion.

>>9857537
Damn right. Moriya all the way.
Taoists are a faaaairly close second, though.

>>9857543
Tao, ho!

>>9857537

This is gonna be fun. Rivalries and battles and laughing and relaxing when it's all over. I can't wait. I wonder who my rival will be.

As long as it's not Miko. I'd join either Kanako or Byakuren if they would take me.

Myourenji > Moriya Shrine > Toyoshitkaka no worstmiko

Deal with it nerds

>>9857564

go get 'em Sanae!

I think it's rather interesting that the main thread linking Byakuren, Miko, and Kanako, besides the obvious religious ones, is their overwhelming fear of death. Byakuren taking up dark sorcery, Miko ruining her health with Mercury, and Kanako uprooting her entire shrine to move to Gensokyo.

They're all so fearful that they'd do anything to escape that fate.

Now, if you had to make me choose, I'd align myself with Toyosatomimi no Miko, because of her humanity. Both Byakuren and Kanako view humans as essentially fodder, or at a lower point in the food chain, while at least we're pawns to Miko.

>>9857571
>Kanako uprooting her entire shrine to move to Gensokyo.
Don't think of this from a human perspective. Something like that isn't anything special when you're a god.

>>9857491
This.
I still can't clear UFO on normal

>>9857580
She'll just simply stop existing without the faith.

>>9857582

I think it differs depending on the type of god. Suwako is purely made of faith so she'd disappear without it, no questions asked.

Kanako, Miko and Byakuren in a free-for-all would be something to see.

Byakuren and the Moriyas are afraid of Miko.

Byakuren, with the location pinpointed by Suwako, plopped her temple right on top of Miko's Mausoleum in an attempt to seal her away again.

Miko, as incredibly charismatic as she is, would absolutely destroy Byakuren or Kanako is any popularity contest.

>>9857592
>the Moriyas are afraid of Miko
They are?

>>9857582
I know. I was saying her moving the shrine wasn't anywhere near as big a thing as, say, Byakuren taking up demonic magic.

>>9857571

Good choice, but Byakuren would be a better one in my opinion. She genuinely believes that a path to peaceful coexistence between youkai and humans exist, and I think that's a noble goal.

>>9857592
What good would popularity do her if Byakuren and Kanako form an alliance to take out the taoists?

>>9857592

Charisma won't help too much in a battle. Plus I think we're all forgetting a certain shrine maiden.

>>9857592

>location pinpointed by Suwako

It was a Moriya conspiracy, huh.

>>9857592
>>Miko, as incredibly charismatic as she is, would absolutely destroy Byakuren or Kanako is any popularity contest.
>>Miko, as incredibly charismatic
>>Miko charismatic
>>charismatic

>>9857598
Oh it is, definitely, and I'm all for it. But she's going for it by favoring the youkai side of things, and I'm still not sure if she's not doing this for her own sake.

>>9857606
Read Symposium

>>9857604

It's boring if you bring Reimu into it, because we all know how it would end. Much more interesting without her intervention.

>>9857612
And without spellcards.

>>9857606
I know right? Like I'd listen to some nerd that looks like a faggy raver.

>>9857612

She doesn't always win in the fighting games though. There's also the witch. Reimu's not exactly who I'm rooting for, but I wonder what she'll do.

>>9857616

Now we're talking.

>>9857599
If we're considering Miko having the humans on her side, this would be a bad idea. If Byakuren and Suwako team up against Miko, they'd be kissing any favor from the humans goodbye, and they both want some of that.

>>9857595
I would be.

She fought the heroine in TD just after being ressurected, so she was weak from that. Also, because her Resurrection was a success, she had no reason to actually give a damn during her fight with the heroine.

So really, you're righting Miko at super low capacity in TD. TD was made easy because UFO was super hard, so it makes sense.

Miko is the strongest, and it will show.

Soon.

>>9857620
I really hope we're not just talking about who would win in a fight now. That's just powerlevel discussion, which is dumb.

>>9857627

Are you the same dude that's always posting about Miko or is this becoming a thing now?

>>9857592
Miko is a godamn former Emperor of Nippon. My research indicates the japanese regard their emperors as a mix of Jesus Christ and Theodore Roosevelt.

So no surprises here.

>>9857606
She is. That's like her defining character trait. She's a statesman, a politician, an administrator. She knows your desires, knows exactly what you want in your heart of hearts, and there are few greater powers that a politician can possess. She's not the most powerful physically, nor has the most artful danmaku, but her ability to manipulate, to lead, and to inspire make her a threat.

>>9857627
So she was weak because she was just resurrected and/or not really trying.
...so what? That doesn't say anything of her strength.

>>9857627
If shes so strong why does she need headphones?

>>9857592

Probably the same person, I love Miko, and a lot of people like to spread misinformation around.

>>9857612
She'll show up anyways. She can't sit on the sidelines when she can smell battle and knows there is blood to spill.

>>9857654
Are you even trying?

>>9857633

Nah, it's not just about fighting. I'm genuinely curious how Reimu plans to take care of all this. This seems like the game where she'll try to get people on her side. I wonder why Marisa's going into the battle too.

>>9857610

Word of God says she's a good person. That's all we need to know.

People seem to thing this is going to be the game were everything comes to a head. I really hope you all don't get TOO excited for that...

>>9857660
Sorry for the silly question, but what is the character between よ and で in the first speech bubble, I've seen it semi-often but don't recognize it as a katakana/hiragana character

There's only one person I actively want to see in HM.

>>9857671
You're not even trying.

>>9857627
Not fighting at full capacity does not indicate anything about one's true strength.

Alice is not the strongest being around, far from it, yet never uses her full strength anyways.

>>9857649
>>9857688

Just wait, I can feel it in my bones. Enough time has passed for her to recover and now she has something to actually fight for.

>>9857627
Spell card rules make all this talk about strength meaningless. Being able to beat a professional boxer at yugioh doesn't make you stronger than him.

>>9857676
>>9857676
it's a different way to write り

>>9857687

I don't need to try.

>>9857687
The dude presented you with facts. Are you denying them because the japs have shit taste in touhous?

>>9857708
Yeah, you're really effortlessly sweeping the competition with your popularity polls that have absolutely no bearing on who outmatches who in canon, or hell, canon at all.

>>9857708
at least team moriya and team miko are giving reasons.

>>9857729
Okay, I see his argument now. He's talking about popularity amongst the people and youkai of gensokyo.

The most charismatic character that everyone in the series loves can be last in popularity polls but it won't make her any less popular in the series is what he means.

>>9857482
why is miko in a bathing suit?

>>9857776
Miko is the lewdest

>>9857729

>in canon

I wasn't talking about canon. The guy said Miko would win against them in any popularity contest, so I posted the official Touhou popularity poll. But if we're talking about canon, I'd think that Byakuren is more popular than both of them because she has both humans and youkai worshiping in her temple while Kanako mainly has the youkai of the mountain and Miko has humans.

>>9857776
Because Byakuren undressed her.
Interesting that she makes that part of her battle plan. What a lewd monk!

Why are there wires everywhere? Miko is a powerful leader, not a DJ.
