So if Sakuya can stop time...

Why didnt she just stop time and cut Reimu's throat when she attacked the mansion?

>> No.7513747

1. Because she didn't want to be a murderer.
2. Even if she did it wouldn't work, Reimu cheats.

>> No.7513775

Rules of Danmaku prohibit killing.

It's not ladylike to murder your opponents with an unfair advantage. Sakuya is a perfect maid and upholds her honor, so I sure she respects the grace and elegance of a fair fight and would not battle her opponent any other way.

I always interpreted each touhou's powers to be dependent upon danmaku.

Sakuya can stop time and fire danmaku

Yuyucow's butterfly danmaku can kill you

Kogasa's danmaku can suprise you

Nue's danmaku can be made visually ambiguous

Cap'n Mursasa's danmaku can sink ships

etc.

Before EoSD the battles had nothing from going over the life-death edge, however, no death was specified, and even the classic ragged clothes portrait would show afterwards.

The spellcard rules were applied after the youkai complained that they were scared to fight Reimu since A. She could whoop them badly and B. If a really powerful being suddenly appeared and killed Reimu, Gensokyo would go poof.

Now a touhou's ability can only be applied as danmaku in battle, hence Yuyuko's death-symbolizing butterflies, Okuu's danmaku suns, Cirno's ice, etc.

If rules govern Gensokyo, she pushes through all logic.

The earth's gravity, any sort of pressure, threats by power, hits which should be fatal, don't exist at all.

Nothing can move her.

Or, that is to say, a complete, absolute, invincible order.

I don't see why people complain about being too ''invincible''.

Blood danmaku involves blood. Remilia literally throws blood at the heroine. Bloody knives, danmaku dripping blood, danmaku made entirely out of blood. You are the one who decided that none of this counts for some reason because it's danmaku related, which is good for you, but don't expect me to share in your arbitrary distinctions.

And none of that is a good excuse for you to act like a retard.

That's not ''criticism'', that's bashing the artist's point of view, and it's something that has no significant base (fanon). Criticism is based on the faults, not on what you think shouldn't happen story-wise.
