Exactly what he said.
Sakuya does all her chores using the watch, because the mansion is a giant labyrinth and the fairy maids are good for nothing.
Without it, that'd be impossible.

>> No.109730

Actually, I have to admit, I'm stumped on this one. I'd figure it's time manipulation based on the name... but it's never really been described.

She seems to usually just give out her 5 impossible requests as danmaku, which makes it a normal game of dodging shit.

At least we have a better idea of everyone else's power and what it's used for (even if they are horribly open ended and hax like Suika and Yukari).

Personally, I'm just going to continue to just think of her as a immortal NEET. She stays in her room all day and gets the others to do things for her if need be.

You know how that one motherfucking maid bitch can all stop time n' shit? Well this bitch right here can fuck you up ten fucking thousand times worse. All she has to fucking do is get tired of your shit and be like "Know what, fucking piss-shit nigger? I'm fucking sick of your goddamn cock-sucking bullshit", and then HO-LEE FUCK time starts collapsing on top of you because this bitch decided that motherfucking time was gonna fucking end in ten fucking seconds. All because your dipshit ass didn't bring her her motherfucking tea.

We know Keine records and hides history by consuming or writing it. She can normally just consume history which only really hides it, during full moon she can create it. She's usually busy every full moon officially writing up the latest events of Gensokyo into history before handing it over the Heida family, making her tense and likely to CAVE people.

In ZUNs world, history doesn't just happen and get recorded, apparently you need powers to make it stick or something. Eitherway, the point is we know what Keine's power is meant to do. It's just not explained well enough to grasp the practicality of it. I don't know what the fuck Kaguya's power is supposed to be beyond the five impossible tasks and immortality.

Well, Kaguya's power has had three major demonstrations: one, it was used to create the Hourai Elixir (making Kaguya herself an integral component to the elixir of immortality, some kind of department of redundancy department); two, the lack of "things happening" in Eientei prior to IN (literally speaking, nothing happened beyond what was done - a partial dissolution of reaction, cause, and effect); three, the hallway that went on forever. Her power over eternity and instance can preserve a single flower in one state forever (pluck its petals and, though that petal is severed, it will never suffer), or reduce it from seed to plant to compost in a blink. Theoretically. She has not demonstrated her power too well, much like Keine's "Create History" hakutaku ability.

>>109716
But the mansion is an even larger labyrinth because "there is one [there] who likes toying with time and space" (Patchouli, EoSD).

Also she can make herself a NEET forever!

>> No.109800

Isn't Sakuya able to manipulate space as well?

As for Manipulation of Eternity and Temporality, if you think of their meanings it is basically fucking with Internalized faults and being able to change or dismantle the time frames of the target.

While she can't freeze time, she could probably change an objects reference point in time, for instance make a tree act as if its in winter during spring.

>> No.109805

what are the five impossible requests anyway?

>> No.109817

>>109800
Basically she could kill herself if she wanted to ignoring the effects of the Hourai Elixir. She'd also be able to put Mukou out of her misery, however she doesn't do it, enjoying killing her for the fun of it.

This is the best explanation I've seen for it. I'll go with this one. Not so much time manipulation as fucking with your personal point in time and drawing out how long a instant can last (or removing the length).

If she wasn't such a NEET she could use this power for great fun, though I imagine she actually uses it to enjoy a good thread until she's tired of it, or skip through long rants from Eirin about her doing something with her life.

Though I suppose she could make the high point of her masturbation last as long as she pleases. Alone.

It's her way of saying 'no' without actually saying 'no'. She tells the dumb smuck to do something for her that he can't achieve, so when he fails she can blame him and act like she gave them a change.

Cage in Lunatic Runagate has a pretty good explanation of Kaguya's ability in action.

>> No.110008

From PMiSS:

She possesses the ability to manipulate the eternal and the instantaneous. As eternity refers to a world with no history, it is also a world where change is eternally unknown. No matter how much you may try to bring about change in such a world, it is futile in a world where time has essentially stopped. One can think of it thus: even the fact that Eientei suddenly appeared in human history and began to experience the passage of time was because she reversed the effects of her eternity magic.

Under the effects of that magic, Eientei would probably have never appeared in the human world, but would have always remained hidden in the Bewildering Bamboo Forest (* Even the name "House of Eternity" implies this.) However, a perpetual world denies any sort of change. She may have lived for a very long time without having changed at all.

Her other ability regarding the ephemeral is complementary to her manipulation of eternity, and allows control over extremely short time durations. It allows her to act in periods of time so short as to be imperceptible to human beings. Since these periods are just aggregates of moments in time, they pass normally, but they are far too small to be perceived by normal people. It's said she can manipulate parallel timelines by using these moments.

As both of these abilities allow the manipulation of time, they far surpass what normal humans are capable of.
