Let me tell you something, the fact that Hijiri is good only for two, yes you heard well, TWO THINGS.
First her theme, so wonderfully composed that even today people come up with sweet arranges that make my ears flap in delight,
Second is her body, it turns my balls in bottomless pots of cum for hours, whenever I finish with it (usually 4-5 hours) I need 2,5 liters of cold water and a big meal to replenish all the energy and elements disposed of in our 2D lovemaking.

After that, if you don't like her theme or you're fucking gay then she's shit, fucking shit.

Miko is the weakest S6 boss in Touhou.

She's also awful.

Her theme belongs on stage 1.

And she uses an EASIER version of eternal meek (a midboss spell) as one of her spellcards.

Her magic is not parasitic in nature, so it could hardly be called evil.
>Manages funerals
That's just a duty of most religious institutions. However, if evidence surfaces of Byakuren holding an urn and talking about her undertaker in a high pitched voice, I will concede that point.
>Keeps bloodthirsty youkai at hand
Why would bloodthirsty youkai hang around a monk who preaches peace and understanding? Her current charges are all pretty much by their own will.

Byakuren should only be smiling when she's lewd and hasn't realized it, or is trying to maintain her compsure, or something involving unwilling lewdity.
She doesn't get to smile with happiness without some lewd stipulate.

That made me think of something. I'm surprised there aren't any /jp/anon who are really into religion. Purifying your mind with Buddhism and meditating is like the most compatible thing with the hikki lifestyle ever. You are by yourself all the time and have no distractions, and it will make you less dependent on worldy needs and material goods, not more.

Byakuren is one of my favorite characters, but she will never beat Aya. As a buddhist, I dont think ZUN does a very good job of portraying her as an enlightened or at least post dharma person. I guess its because ZUN is not enlightened himself, so he cannot create that feeling of movement without moving. The touhou religion threads on /jp/ are some of the best I have ever seen, and from time to time, we get a truly exceptional one.

Just because she is a buddhist doesn't mean that she needs to be "enlightened" or a better person.
She could be a buddhist, but a bad one at that.

There are both good and bad people of all religions.

/tg/ here. Would you mind elaborating on this? One of my bar-none favorite character archetypes is an enlightened monk style character, so I can't help but be interested in what you have to say on this subject

I must say that regardless of how Byakuren is portrayed canonically, though, I swear she gets by far the most beautiful pieces of artwork. Much like how Utsuho gets most of the coolest pieces of artwork, it seems like Byakuren gets the lion's share of things that just, for lack of a better word, awe me

In order to preach buddhism, you need to have had dharma transmission. This means that you have studied under a teacher and they have made you their heir. The dharma lines can be traced back for a long time, and are a major part of biuddhist history. Cases where someone started preaching on their own, and being required as enlightened and carrying their own personal zen, are very rare. Buddhism emphasis this student teacher relationship very much. This does not mean that Byakuren did not revive transmission, we just do not see any evidence of it.

>>11191978
Dealing with post satori training, and teachers, people who are long time practices of meditation seem to have this way of holding themselves, and of moving. Its like adding water to moving water. They dont seem to move when they move. Byakuren is someone who, especially in SoPM, is perceived as kind of a fool, is easily fooled, and made fused and confused easily. Thats not how a master or roshi presents themselves. Again, this is a personal issue, and I doubt that zun intended to have Byakuren be a perfect example. It just makes the character seem less real in my eyes.

Byakuren's backstory, like many touhou's, is unknown in its completeness, and due to ZUN's absentmindedness, will probably stay that way, which is a pity, because its a cool story what we know, and I think most of us here want to know more and more about the people in this world.

>Best theme
Cosmic Mind is an awesome final boss theme, but...

Every other stage 6 boss theme helps us to better understand the character. Every other stage 6 boss theme's name is a direct reference to the boss itself.
What part of Byakuren's character/backstory is described by Emotional Skyscraper?
What does the word "cosmic" have anything to do with Byakuren?

Well, don't worry if you don't have the answers. ZUN leaves comments in music box of every game. For example:
>Vehement yet elegant, powerful but ephemeral
Yeah, that's Yuyuko. Elegant and powerful ghost.

So what does ZUN think about Byakuren?
>This is the theme of a last boss who is hard to tire out, probably.
What? Hard to tire out? Does ZUN want to say this is the main Byakuren's trait? And he doesn't even call her by name/status. Just "last boss". And what's with that "probably"?

Everything becomes clear after this interview:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otIrJdoaITI.. Byakuren made it into the game in the last moment. The name of the final boss theme is just another homage to the Space Invaders. And it probably was composed before ZUN had his final thoughts about Byakuren.

So even if Emotional Skyscraper is technically Baykuren's theme, please don't use it as argument when describing why you like her. It's just like saying "I love Koakuma because her theme (Voile, the Magic Library) is really great".

Cosmos means order/harmony of the world. That's pretty relevant if you ask me.

These doesn't matter much because, if you think about it, original Myouren's story isn't going to be radically different from Byakuren's story. You aren't gonna top the tale of a fallen monk redemption.
