/a/ said I should ask you

So I heard if I ever happen to met a Touhou that carries an umbrella I should run away as fast as possible.
Can you explain this to me, why should I run away when meeting a girl with an umbrella?

>> No.6287530

The bigger a Touhou character's hat is, the more powerful she is.

Umbrellas are hat substitutes and are excessively large, giving their wielders great power.

About the energy and rituals stuff, Yukari has shown little to no problem using her power in different ways like opening the way to the moon by manipulating the border of reality (in addition to continously sharing with two shikigami). It might not be too far out to say that the only thing keeping her from going berserk Thanos style is her own laziness.

Yukari: You activated my trap card.
Somebody else: Sorry to inform you, but I got this countertrap.

Somebody else: You lost Yukari!
Yukari: As if I didn't plan that from the beginning, did you think I fought you seriously!

So when does Yukari play with open cards, she never goes all out, shows her full potential and most of the time when talking about her powers she tells crap.
She is like the Umineko witches which just have to try not to get bored since they would die if the get.

Yukari is very deceptive but if you assume she's being deceptive whenever an event occurs that puts an upper limit on her power, it's basically impossible to know how powerful she is.

I think this line of reasoning is patently ridiculous if you try to apply it in other cases. I mean, maybe Cirno is actually omnipotent but just pretends to be weak all the time because it amuses her. There's no way to disprove this statement since you can just claim she wasn't using her full power whenever anything happens.

Now of course, maybe Yukari actually *is* omnipotent and *does* choose to lose when she could win. I'm just pointing out that such an argument is irrefutable for any Touhou.

Yes, >>6287859 wasn't a very good argument but he's right that Yukari almost always talks bullshit (while most other Touhous don't). That, and the fact that she was (allegedly) planning to lose since the beginning in SSiB make it safe to assume she never used her full power in the manga.

>> No.6287940

>>6287894
That sounds like her. Alice is the only touhou who we know for sure that don't care about winning that much and likes to have fun testing different strategies in danmaku.

I think Yukari knows what's best for her and she moves according to that. But the problem for me is people that can't think like that and go for the "white and black" line of thought, without considering possibilities and assuming their theory is the ultimate truth.

It doesn't necessarily mean she's more POWERFUL than Yukari.

It just means Yukari couldn't "defeat" her. Nobody knows exactly what she meant by that.

It could be, she could kill Eiki... But then Eiki just goes back to the Higan, revives and gets back to her position, and now Yukari has a big [DESTINATION: ULTRAHELL] stamped on her judgment folder.

Every time a Touhou character's power increases, her hat grows. At a certain point, it becomes too large to wear and she has to start a new one. Some choose to use their previous hats as parasols. Others auction them off on Yahoo to buy figures instead.
