First Generation WindowsSecond Generation WindowsThird Generation WindowsPrinted Works Perfect Cherry Blossom English TranslationJapanese “ —Gensokyo Record— This is a remote place in an eastern country, far from any human habitation. In ancient times, this was a place of terror. Those who wandered too close would be eaten by youkai. People named this place Gensokyo and never dared to approach. Most people feared the youkai, but a brave warrior would occasionally rise to defeat them. Some of those brave humans settled in Gensokyo to keep close watch on the youkai. In those times, humans would fight with youkai every night. Stories like those were common in this mountain country, and many places like Gensokyo existed in those times. Over a thousand years have passed since then... Humans gradually built up a civilization. Humans don't fear the dark anymore. Since they grew to the point where they could produce light to make it seem like midday even at midnight. Because the humans blindly followed materialistic science, unscientific worlds - in other words, those with things like youkai and oni - were eventually excluded as superstition. Gensokyo was deemed useless to the human world as well, so priests sealed it away with the Great Barrier, which could never be opened again. Of course, both the youkai and the descendants of the brave humans who kept them in check were sealed away in the process as well... That marked the end of the history of humans and youkai. With the passing of time, those who still knew of Gensokyo died out... Though innumerable years have passed since its sealing, Gensokyo is still home to many youkai and just a few humans. The youkai of Gensokyo have built up their own culture; one that is all that like the culture of the world when Gensokyo was sealed. However, it was not a materialistic culture - it was a culture centered upon spiritual awareness far exceeding that of the human world. The wise youkai sought not the bounty of objects, but the bounty of the heart. For the youkais with such a civilization of magic, it is very easy for them to open the Great Barrier sealing Gensokyo. However, the youkai do not attempt to open it. On the contrary, they actually reinforced the barrier with an even stronger power. The barrier that had once locked Gensokyo away was now used in order to prevent invasion by the humans. Nonetheless, the main diet of youkai is, of course, humans. Natural products are especially popular. Food-gathering teams would go out at regular intervals to hunt humans. Of course, the youkai couldn't let the humans know about their presence. Under the guise of various accidents and incidents of people running away from home, the youkai hunted humans. A simple missing person would barely even make the news since there were too many people in the human world. Thus, the history of humans and youkai began anew. The world may be a land of youkai, but even now, lost humans sometimes end up there. They are said by the outside world to have been "spirited away". Most of the humans that end up in Gensokyo aren't able to return, but in the event that they are able to return to their original world, their spiriting away would only be met by a mountain of questions. Those people would unanimously say that the person was crazy, and would be believed by no one. They'd claim things like "I saw Togenkyo", or "I went to Houraisan". Those who visit Gensokyo seem to believe that it is a legendary paradise. At first glance, it looks like a utopia without anything unnatural, everything working in favor of the creatures living there. There is no doubt that, from the point of view of a person from the human world, this place was none other than paradise. Gensokyo is a paradise for many youkai and a few humans. It will remain a paradise until humans are destroyed, or it is discovered by humans. The following story is a record of the peaceful and fantastic everyday events that take place only in Gensokyo. P.S. So, why is Gensokyo a paradise for humans if they have to live with youkai? Well, that's because when everyone has enough power to defeat youkai in combat, and that's anything but boring! (Inscribed by the 13th shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine) „ ~ Perfecy Cherry Blossom Prologue English Translation -Gensokyo Record- “ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - 0 - As spring turns to summer, the land is coated in silver illusions. People relax and bask in the calm of a winter with no end in sight. However, none of that mattered to dogs or youkai, who are as energetic as ever. There have never been many humans in Gensokyo, but youkai of the winter were making plenty of noise. The time is ripe for snow to melt away, and for snow storms to be replaced with storms of cherry blossoms. Even Gensokyo changes with the seasons, but this year... ...It is now May, and spring has shown no sign of arriving. - 1 - Reimu Hakurei, the maiden of the Hakurei shrine who lives in Gensokyo, didn't like the cold. Reimu: "Ahh, it's cold." It's just that this time, her complaint was that it was already May. The snowfall and blizzards had been fierce for a week, with no sign of stopping. Reimu: "The cherry blossoms should have bloomed by now. Why is there so much snow this year?" She figured she could find out why without asking about it. More talking would have made her colder anyway, so instead, she headed out to go straight to the source of the problem. Reimu: "(Hmm, it seems to be coming from this direction, I guess?)" Being of old-fashioned construction, the shrine was easily penetrated by wind, and even some snow, so it was as cold inside as it was outside. As usual, she turned to her intuition for guidance and set off. - 2 - Marisa Kirisame, an ordinary magician, liked the cold sometimes and hated it other times, just like other ordinary humans. Marisa: "It's ordinary, but I don't hate spring." The Kirisame residence was always warmed by a magical heater. Or, even without it, the magical room were warm by themselves anyway. Marisa: "I can't visit the shrine during such a storm." She saw some light pink petals floating by in the snowstorm in front of her house. They were petals that came from a flower that only bloomed in the spring in this eastern country. Yes - they were petals from a cherry tree. Marisa: "Is this the only place that still feels like winter? May's already here, but you wouldn't know it from the cold." If she followed the wind, she should find cherry trees blooming. The snowstorms and high altitudes on a mountain should cause flowers to bloom slower, so why were cherry petals coming from that direction? She decided to follow the trail of cherry blossom petals to find the spring that wouldn't come. - 3 - Sakuya Izayoi, a maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, was sipping bitter coffee in a warm room. Sakuya: "We'll run out of charcoal and coffee beans soon." Indeed, humans couldn't survive this winter without anything to burn for heat. Sakuya: "I didn't expect winter to be so long. If we run out of supplies, the mistress will start complaining." No one does home deliveries this far. Residents of Gensokyo prepare food and fuel for an entire winter in advance. Roads were buried by the snow, rendering them completely useless. Thus, the preparing has become a tradition that hasn't been changed in a very long time. Sakuya: "I should put an end this winter before fuel run out. My lady, I'll be away until spring comes." The mistress confirmed that spring would come the very next day, so she happily bid Sakuya on her way. -4- Gensokyo was in the middle of a truly long-lasting winter. May had only seen the coming of even stronger snow storms. But in Gensokyo at this state, there was a place unknown to anybody that was filled with flowers in full bloom. Or literally, no "humans" knew about it. In Gensokyo, there are few "humans" to begin with. And spring has yet to come. „ ~ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom Prologue English Translation “ －幻想郷風土記－ ここは、東の国の人里離れた辺境の地である。 はるか昔この地は、迷い込んだら最後、妖怪たちに喰われてし 　　まう、と恐れられていたのだ。 　　人々はここを「幻想郷」と呼び、決して近づく事は無かった。 人々は妖怪に恐怖し、時には退治を行う勇敢な人間も現れたり 　　した。そうした勇敢な人間の中には、妖怪が人里に下りていか 　　ないよう見張る為、幻想郷に住み着くものも現れた。 　　この頃は、妖怪と人間の戦いが毎夜の様に行われていたのだ。 この様な話は、この山国には良くある話で、特に珍しい話では 　　ない。この様な場所もいたるところに存在した時代であった。 そういう時代が１０００年以上続いた... 　　次第に人間は文明を築きあげた。もう人間は暗闇を恐れない。 　　なぜなら、夜でさえ、昼のような明るさで周りを照らすことが 　　出来るようになっていたのだから。 　　人間は唯物科学を盲信しだし、非科学的な世界、つまり妖怪や 　　鬼などという世界は、迷信だと排除していったのだ。 　　幻想郷も、人間界に必要無いと判断され僧侶達が力を合わせ、 　　２度と解けない大結界を張られてしまった。もちろん、幻想郷 　　に住む多くの妖怪と勇敢な人間の末裔と共に... 　　そのとき、人間と妖怪の歴史は完全に終わったのだ。 　　しばらくたって、幻想郷を知る人間は居なくなった... 　　封印されてからどのくらい時間が経っただろうか、ここ幻想郷 　　は、あの時と変わらず多くの妖怪と、僅かばかりの人間が住ん 　　でいた。 　　幻想郷の妖怪達は、ここで独自の文明を築き上げていたのだ。 　　その文明は、見た目は閉じ込められた時代から余り変わってい 　　ない。しかし、それは唯物の文明ではない、人間界よりはるか 　　に優れた精神中心文明なのだ。賢い妖怪達は、物の豊かさより 　　心の豊かさを求めたからであろう。 　　このような魔法文明の妖怪にとって、幻想郷を封じた大結界は、 　　すでに解くことも自在になっていた。しかし、妖怪達は解こう 　　とはしない。それどころか、さらに強い力で大結界を張り直し 　　ていた。元々は幻想郷を封印するための結界を、今は人間の侵 　　入を防ぐために使用していたのだ。 　　とはいえ、妖怪の主な食料は人間である。特に天然物が人気だ。 　　そのため、食料班は定期的に人間を狩りに出ていた。もちろん 　　そのとき人間に妖怪の存在を気付かれてはいけない。妖怪達は、 　　色々な事故や家出に見せかけて、人間を狩っていた。その程度 　　の行方不明者はニュースにもならない、人間界の人間は増えす 　　ぎていたのだ。 　　こうして、人間と妖怪の新しい歴史は築かれていた。 　　そんな妖怪世界の幻想郷だが、今でも、たまに道に迷った人間 　　が紛れ込むこともある。 　　彼らは、外の世界では「神隠し」と呼ばれているようだ。 　　多くの人間は幻想郷から戻ることは出来ないが、運良く元の世 　　界に戻れると、彼らは神隠しのことを山のように質問されるに 　　違いない。 　　その彼らは口々にこう言い、頭がおかしくなったのだと、誰に 　　も信じてもらえないのだ。 　　　「桃源郷を見た」だとか「蓬莱山に行った」のだと。 　　ここを訪れた人間は、この地を伝説の楽園だと思うらしい。 　　一見、見た目は無何有郷でありつつ、全てがここに棲む生き物 　　のために機能した文明も兼ね添えていた。そう、ここは人間界 　　の人間から見て、紛れも無く楽園だったのだ。 　　幻想郷は、多くの妖怪たちと僅かばかりの人間の楽園であった。 　　この楽園は、人類が滅びるか人間に発見されるまで楽園のまま 　　なのだ。 　　これからの出来事は、全て幻想郷内だけで起きる平和で不思議 　　な日々の記録に過ぎない。 　　P.S. 　　幻想郷に住む人間にとって、妖怪と一緒で何で楽園かって？ 　　それは、皆妖怪に負けないくらいの力を身につけてるし、なん 　　てったって、退屈しないじゃないの。 　　　　　　　　　（博麗神社　第１３代巫女　記） „ ~ Perfecy Cherry Blossom Prologue Japanese －幻想郷風土記－ “ 東方妖々夢　～ Perfect Cherry Blossom. －０－ 暖かい季節は終わり、辺境は白銀の幻想に閉ざされた。人々は、いつ 　終わるとも分からない長い冬に、大人しくなった。 しかし、元気な犬と妖怪達には冬など関係なかったのだ。そう、ここ 　幻想郷は、もとより人間の数は少なかったこともあり、冬は冬の妖怪 　たちで騒がしかったのだ。 　次第に雪は溶け、白銀の吹雪も桜吹雪へと変化する頃になった。 　幻想郷も、例外なく暖かい季節になるはずだったのだ。 　そして５月、春はまだ来ない。 －１－ 　幻想郷にある博麗神社の巫女さん、博麗 霊夢（はくれい れいむ）は 　寒いのは苦手だった。 　　霊夢「あー、寒いわねー」　 　ただ、いつもと違うことは「今がもう５月である」という事だった。 　雪はいっそう激しく、この吹雪ももう一週間は続こうとしていた。　 　　霊夢「もう、いつもなら桜も咲こうという時期よねぇ。 　　　　　今年は何でこんなに大雪なの？」 　少女は、どうせ口に出さなくても分かるような理由だと思ったのだ。 　だから、しゃべると寒いので黙って原因を潰しにいくことにした。　 　　霊夢（ところで、原因の居る方はこっちでいいのかな？） 　神社は昔ながらの建物で風通しもよく、いや、吹きっさらしだったの 　で、家に居ても居なくても同じだったのである。少女はいつもどおり 　勘を頼りに出発したのだった。 　－２－ 　普通の魔法使いさん、霧雨 魔理沙（きりさめ まりさ）は、寒いのも 　普通の人間同様、それなりに嫌い、それなりに楽しんでいた。 　　魔理沙「ふつーだけどさ、春も嫌いじゃないんだけどな」 　霧雨邸は、魔暖房があったので暖かかった。そうでなくても魔法室は 　何かしら暖かいものなのだ。 　　魔理沙「こんなに吹雪じゃ、神社にも遊びにいけないぜ」 　少女は自分の家の前の吹雪に、薄桃色の花びらが雪に混じっているの 　を見た。ここ東の国の春にしか咲かない花の花弁。 　そう桜だったのだ。 　　魔理沙「もしかして、まだ、冬なのここら辺だけ？ 　　　　　　つーか、もう５月じゃん、寒いんで気付かなかったぜ」　 　風上に行けば桜が咲いている筈である。ただ、吹雪は山の上から吹き 　降ろされていた。山の上ほど開花が遅い筈なのに・・・。 　少女は、桜の花びらを辿って、まだ見ぬ春を目指して出発した。 －３－ 　紅魔館のメイドさん、十六夜 咲夜（いざよい さくや）は暖かい部屋 　で苦い珈琲を飲んでいた。 　　咲夜「そろそろ用意した豆炭と珈琲豆が切れるわね」 　さすがに、暖房燃料が切れたら人間はこの冬を越せないだろう。 　　咲夜「さすがにこんなに冬が続くとは思ってなかったからな、 　　　　　燃料切らしたら、またお嬢様がうるさいし。」 　ここまで配達にくるような人間はいない、幻想郷の住人は、燃料食料 　すべて一冬分まとめて用意するのである。それは、元から険しい道が 　大雪で完全になくなってしまうためであり、ずっと昔から変わること 　の無い習慣だったのだ。 　　咲夜「燃料尽きる前に、冬を終わらせればいいんだわ。 　　　　　お嬢様、春までお暇をいただきますよ」 　このときお嬢様は、あと一日もすれば春になることを確信した。だか 　ら、快く咲夜を送り出したのだ。 －４－ 幻想郷は本当に永い冬だった。 　５月を過ぎてから、一層吹雪も強くなったようだ。 そんな幻想郷にも、花が満開な場所が人知れず存在していた。 　文字通り、そのことを「人」は知らなかった。 　ここ幻想郷は、もとより「人」の数は少なかったのだ。 　そして春はまだ来ない。 „ ~ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom Prologue Japanese Yuyuko Saigyouji orders Youmu to collect as much spring essence from across Gensokyo as she can. The goal is to make the entire cherry blossom garden bloom perfectly, including the legendary Saigyou Ayakashi. Youmu's actions unintentionally extend winter throughout Gensokyo, which forces Reimu/Marisa/Sakuya to go after her. Youmu attempts to block Reimu/Marisa/Sakuya from reaching Hakugyokurou, but she loses the fight. She also tries to stop Reimu/Marisa/Sakuya from confronting Yuyuko, only to be beaten once again. Immaterial and Missing Power English TranslationJapanese “ The long winter, the short but grand spring, has withdrawn from Gensokyo. The cherry blossoms that dyed that mountain in light purple have receded, and the land has been wrapped in a deep green... But humans, ghosts, and many others were still gathering for cherry blossom viewings, again and again. This cherry blossom viewing was not restricted to just the girls of Gensokyo. Every time a feast was held, an unknown, restless, strange aura in Gensokyo also increased in strength. ――However, even with the rise of this strange aura, nothing has happened yet. Nothing was known about the criminal's motive. Even their objective remained unknown. When this strange aura strengthens, not a single person tries to stop this recurring feast. As such, everyone who comes to the feast, be it humans or youkai, appears to be very suspicious. There's only three days left until the next feast. "I'll figure out what this strange aura is coming from and stop it before the next feast!" „ ~ Immaterial and Missing Power Prologue English Translation “ 長かった冬も、短いながら盛大だった春も、幻想郷から過ぎ去ろうとしていた。 あれほど山を薄紫色に染めていた桜はなりを潜め、既に深い緑に包まれていたが…… 人間、妖怪、その他諸々が集まるお花見だけは、未だ繰り返されていた。 そのお花見は、幻想郷の少女を集めるだけではとどまらなかった。 宴会を行う度に、幻想郷に得体の知れない不穏な妖気が高まっていたのだった。 ――だが、妖気は高まる一方だったが、まだ何も起きていない。 犯人は、動機は、全てが判らない。その目的すら判らなかった。 妖気が高まろうと、誰一人、繰り返される宴会を止めようとしない。 こうなると、宴会に来る人間、妖怪、全員が怪しく見えるのも仕方がないだろう。 次の宴会まであと３日しかない。 「次の宴会までには、必ず私がこの妖気の原因を突き止めてやる！」 „ ~ Immaterial and Missing Power Prologue Japanese Youmu shows up at the shrine, believing Reimu is the most suspicious person behind the strange spiritual aura spreading across Gensokyo. She explains that everyone has been gathering at the shrine for the recent feasts. Reimu points out that the feasts are held at the shrine because other people choose to gather there, not because she plans anything. She also notes that the spiritual aura Youmu is sensing likely comes from the youkai themselves rather than a human. Youmu says she came to slash the suspect. After defeating Reimu, she realizes Reimu was not the culprit. Reimu complains that Youmu attacks people before even knowing if they are guilty, but Youmu insists that slashing tells her who the target should be. Youmu gets lost in the Forest of Magic at night and runs into Marisa. Marisa jokes about seeing a phantom, and Youmu corrects her that phantoms and thunder are different things. Youmu says she came to slash Marisa and that the sword does not lie even if people do. Marisa accepts the challenge out of respect for Youmu traveling through the dark forest. After defeating Marisa, Youmu determines she is not responsible either. Youmu notes that the culprit would need to be someone capable of spreading such a wide spiritual aura. Youmu enters the library for the first time and comments that she does not like dark places. Patchouli mistakes her for a vengeful spirit. Youmu says she holds no grudges and is not dead. She explains that the Scarlet Devil Mansion seemed like the most suspicious place to look for whoever is producing the spiritual mist. Patchouli admits she does not understand Youmu's reasoning but sees the fight as a good chance to test new magic. After defeating Patchouli, Youmu concludes she is not the culprit but notes there are other suspicious people further inside the mansion. Patchouli realizes her magic was still imperfect. Youmu comments on the books in the library, noting that they seem resistant to fire and water, but says she has no interest in books since they only contain very old information. Youmu confronts Sakuya, saying she is getting worn out and suspects Sakuya might be behind the spiritual aura and the feasts. Sakuya seems confused about the spiritual aura and compares the current situation to the recent incident where spring did not arrive. Youmu says Sakuya is asking to be slashed again. Sakuya questions Youmu's use of the word "again," saying she does not remember ever being slashed before. After defeating Sakuya, Youmu admits she was wrong again and says she needs to hurry because there is little time left before the feast. Sakuya accuses Youmu of degenerating into a burglary joke, but Youmu says that is a misunderstanding. Youmu tells Remilia that she has slashed nearly everyone and only Remilia remains as a suspect. She believes Remilia is responsible for the disaster. Remilia asks what disaster she is talking about, and Youmu explains it is the spiritual aura filling Gensokyo. Remilia dismisses it as no big deal since nothing is actually happening. Youmu argues that waiting until something happens would be too late. Remilia says that acting on guesses alone becomes an excuse and that people get played by fate unless they act only when consequences are considered. Remilia notes that she has lived much longer than Youmu, then catches herself and asks if Youmu is even alive. Youmu says she will test whether Remilia is the criminal and that her sword, Hakurouken, will show the truth. After defeating Remilia, Youmu is shocked to find she was wrong again. Remilia complains about her clothes getting dirty and says she was telling the truth from the start. Youmu worries that there are no suspicious people left among those attending the feasts. Remilia suggests that Youmu's own boss might be the most suspicious. Youmu returns to the shrine before the feast, frustrated that she still has not found the culprit. Reimu asks if she has been going around slashing people the whole time. Yukari appears, commenting that dangerous times have come. She warns Youmu that slashing too much will cause the Netherworld to become completely full one day. Yukari explains that she decided to come on her own since no one invites her to the feasts anymore. She claims she was called to appear. Youmu points out the contradiction in saying she was not invited but was called. Yukari tells Youmu that her training is insufficient and questions what her eyes are for. Youmu realizes Yukari is the perpetrator behind the spiritual aura. She apologizes to Yuyuko for doubting her, admitting she forgot about such a suspicious person close to her. After defeating Yukari, Youmu is frustrated to find she was wrong yet again. Yukari gives her a hint, saying there is still one more suspicious person. Youmu guesses Yuyuko, but Yukari says that is not it. Suika appears, introducing herself. Youmu is surprised and asks where she came from. Suika claims she has been there since the beginning and has seen all of Youmu's actions. The spiritual aura disappears when Suika appears, and Youmu accuses her of being the criminal. Suika objects to being called a criminal. Youmu asks what Suika's goal was in covering all of Gensokyo with spiritual aura. Suika explains that she was subconsciously making everyone have feasts and claims she was not emitting any spiritual aura. She says that spiritual auras are not limited to those given off by ghosts and warns Youmu not to get caught up in stereotypes. She tells Youmu that truth is not visible to the eyes or audible to the ears unless viewed in a certain way, and that Youmu's training is insufficient. Youmu responds that she was taught by her master that truth is not seen or heard but known by slashing, and that everything begins with the sword leading to the truth. Suika finds this amusing. She points out that Youmu has never slashed an oni before. Youmu admits she does not know what oni are. Suika says that the power of oni, the power to gather, and the power to disperse cannot be cut, and that Youmu needs to be trained. They fight, and Youmu defeats Suika. Imperishable Night English TranslationJapanese “ -0- Summer is drawing to a close. Soon, chirping crickets will take over for buzzing cicadas. Gensokyo's hot nights are cooling down, making it a comfortable time for humans and youkai alike. Times are peaceful as usual. From a human perspective, leastwise. Touhou Eiyashou (Eternal Night Vignette) ~ Imperishable Night -1- There is an old mansion located at the edge of Gensokyo. Its appearance radiates the feeling of its history and a kind of atmosphere that rejects visitors. Items that look as though they might be from the outer world have somehow found their way into this house. Strange machines, books that make no sense, magazines. One such object, an iron box that was once a television, now serves the role of spiritual storage. "Spirits can live well in something that used to display human shapes," she'd say to her shikigami. This is the home of Yukari Yakumo, the youkai of boundaries. Ever since becoming aware of a slight abnormality in Gensokyo, she hasn't been able to sleep well, even during the day. The enemy was yet to be seen, but she was certain that it must have taken someone powerful to pull that off. She doesn't get out often, however, and it will be very bothersome for her to take an action alone. "Hey, I can rope her in and let her handle this problem." So she set out for the shrine, another building located at the edge of Gensokyo. There's a human that she knows there. It's a carefree person who always happens to be bored, so she'll gladly undertake the task of resolving whatever trouble there is. -2- It smells ominous. It is said that the forest eats humans. Humans usually maintain a safe distance from it.Its atmosphere constantly brims with an unearthly evil. The Forest of Magic, a place where all the evil in Gensokyo naturally gathers. Within that forest, small human figures are gathered into a small building. Human figures smaller than humans. The rainbow-colored puppeteer, Alice Margatroid, is reading books amidst a mountain of dolls. "How can humans possibly not be aware of this huge disaster?" "Dunno." If nothing is done, we won't be able to enjoy that. She isn't the type of person who gets out often, but no one else was interested in the problem, so she set out to investigate for herself. Or rather, she tried to. "I don't like this, they're used to this kind of thing, so they should do it." "Yeah, really." She knew nothing about the enemy and had no idea how to get started. In the end, she decided to visit a human who also lived in the forest, to let her take care of the issue. She brought a few books along...... Grimoires. Books that any human would find extremely rare and difficult to get ahold of. That person would never be able to refuse such an offer. -3- "Sakuya, where are you?" There is a European mansion located next to a lake; a scarlet mansion. A shrill voice was echoing all through its halls, as usual. Between a lake of glistening white and a forest of verdant green stood a mansion of unyielding scarlet. It should be an awkward sight, but strangely, it's very soothing. It is said that time stops flowing within this mansion, the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It's not a metaphor. Remilia Scarlet, a vampire, was looking for her personal maid. "Have you already done that as I asked?" "I beg your pardon, my Lady, but I couldn't get what actually you meant to..." Unfortunately, she was apparently unsuccessful at communicating with the human before her. "Fine! I'll do it myself, Sakuya, so you do daily stu... Well, whatever you want." Obviously, she had not been ordered to stay home. The maid has no choice but to attend her mistress as a protection charm. "You know that you won't be able to do anything after sunrise," she said in her heart. It's so peaceful and nothing in particular is happening, so she'll just go back home once the mistress gets tired, the maid thought lightly. Of course, that too was left unspoken. -4- No other place in Gensokyo can match the silence of this place. However, it isn't bleak. It has a peaceful atmosphere like a sleeping soul. There is no sign of any disturbance; nature's bounty and refreshing wind is the sole source of sound. This is the Netherworld, the land of the dead. There isn't a living human anywhere to be found. The ghosts there, however, enjoy a lively afterlife. "So, Lady Yuyuko's not aware of this?" The most vivid and largest place in this quiet world. The Hakugyokurou. Youmu Konpaku, a gardener, was pondering whether to tell her mistress about a most recent incident. At that moment, she found her lady heading toward her. Good timing. "Ah, Lady Yuyuko..." "Youmu, are you still ignoring that?" "Eh? ... What do you mean by 'that'?" "What, you're not even aware of it? That's why you're ragged about your dullness." She doesn't remember being ragged, but it seems that her lady was aware of the trouble as well. "So you were talking about the Moon? I am certainly aware of that. You only said that, and so suddenly..." "It looks like no one's taking action, so why don't you have a go, Youmu?" "Ehh, why so?" "Just kidding. You're too unreliable anyway. That human we saw the other day was better... well, I will do it then." "No way, please don't be such a meanie... I shall go too." "I really meant what I said about unreliability, though." Yuyuko Saigyouji, the ghostly mistress of the Saigyouji family, ragged Youmu. "Wait, do you have any idea where to go, my Lady?" "Of course, a lot of them. As we shoot stuff down, we'll eventually find a lead." "That's where you're wrong, Lady Yuyuko. You rely too much on raw power and have bad aim, so it takes even longer. You should concentrate your attack more, look..." "Your back is so undefended, Youmu." Yuyuko was really worried about Youmu going out alone, so she decided to take action by herself. Since the opponent is powerful enough to cause such a disaster, a team of two wouldn't be a bad idea. -5- It was peaceful. Or, it looked peaceful. However, all youkai were upset. What's really happening is that, without anyone taking notice, suddenly... The full moon has disappeared from Gensokyo's night. Even on the night of a supposed full moon, a bit of missing light prevents it from being full. It's no wonder that humans aren't aware of the situation, though; it's only the tiniest bit of difference. For non-humans, however, a moon that isn't full doesn't function at all. It's an especially critical problem for those who dislike sunlight. A human and youkai, a team of two, ventured out into Gensokyo's midnight hours to retrieve the missing fragment of the moon and restore the full moon. They will stop the night if need be, even if it becomes an imperishable night. —— As summer draws to a close, not much time remains before the harvest moon.

However, Yuyuko seems more focused on turning the situation into an excuse for a feasting tour, with a "dragon dish" as the main event she wants to enjoy.

The colors that had slept during winter awoke, covering Gensokyo. The flowers and the fairies simultaneously became noisy. The season’s unusual beauty has caused a stir in all who live in Gensokyo. The girls quickly become aware of the strangeness. Cherry blossoms, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, Chinese bellflowers... It was only spring, yet flowers of every season had simultaneously started to bloom. Many humans and all of the fairies, accepting that as the present from nature, were in high spirits for a while. However, the most laid-back human in Gensokyo unusually got rattled. "I must resolve this straightforward incident. If not, it’s like saying to everyone that I’m shirking my duties!"

She heads to Gensokyo to look into things herself and starts forming an idea of what is happening. She only puts the pieces together after Aya Shameimaru points out the full picture. Once she realizes that too many spirits possessing the flowers are behind the problem, she cuts down some of those spirits to thin out their numbers. This brings her into a fight with Komachi Onozuka, who tells her she should not be cutting down spirits in the world of the living because they have not received proper judgment yet. Youmu argues that she is always allowed to kill phantoms when she is in the Netherworld. Komachi explains that phantoms in the Netherworld and phantoms above ground are not the same thing. Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu hears about the confrontation and comes to meet Youmu herself. She tells Youmu that the spirits in the flowers will go away on their own and that Youmu should leave them alone. She also warns Youmu that her activities in the world of the living are bringing her dangerously close to being classified as a living being, which would make her subject to judgment. Eiki decides to carry out a small judgment on Youmu ahead of time. In the end, Youmu returns to the Netherworld. Eiki had also asked Yuyuko to teach Youmu more about the nature of spirits. Unfortunately, Yuyuko misunderstands and thinks she is supposed to teach Youmu in a general sense, so she ends up showing Youmu how to pour good tea. Later, when Eiki confronts Youmu again in her own story, she has to elaborate and clarify what she meant in her lecture to Youmu. Youmu's sword works on spirits by cutting away hesitation, which essentially helps someone reach Nirvana. Youmu is not qualified to make that kind of judgment. In her winning quote against Eiki, Youmu apologizes for all the trouble she has caused and thanks Eiki, saying she now understands what her sword really does.

Marisa "Yeah, I burned it. In my mind. The photos of just youkai or danmaku have things like "This picture is no good" or "This picture will be useful" written on them. Isn't that creepy?" A crow calls. Soon the sun will set. It's a good thing it's not a cuckoo calling. Reimu "So, where is this notebook?"

Ten Desires English TranslationJapanese “ The Hakurei Shrine, a shrine far away from the Human Village. The black and white world that once froze the earth was over, and Gensokyo was now regaining its natural beauty. It is a spring in which divine spirits dance with the cherry blossoms. Reimu "Well at least the cherry blossoms are pretty..." Marisa "Aren't the pretty cherry blossoms good enough?" There is no living creature in Gensokyo that doesn't enjoy watching the cherry blossoms. Both Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame are two of such of creatures. Reimu "...But I have a bad feeling about this." Marisa "What a coincidence. Me too." The cherry blossoms continued to fall relentlessly. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no chances for flower viewing until the season of the wisteria flowers. Even so, neither was in the mood for a party under the cherry trees. Why indeed? It is because unknown floating spirits would appear and disappear. Reimu "Wasn't there a spring when everything was full of ghosts like these?" Marisa "Yeah, but I don't think we could go flower viewing that time. 'Cause there was hardly any spring." Reimu "Oh yeah. That time, it was the work of those from the Netherworld." Marisa "Yeah, anything involving phantoms is certainly their work." Reimu "Exactly. Putting it like that keeps things so much simpler." But it was clear that the unknown floating spirits weren't ghosts or earth spirits that came to the surface recently. They were divine spirits, the souls of the soon-to-be gods. Typically, many divine spirits make the shrine their home, but actually these ethereal spirits could live just about anywhere. Such divine spirits were troubling the girls. Marisa "If things go on like this, we won't be able to go flower viewing tomorrow. All right, then!" Reimu "All right?" Marisa "Oh, hm. It's nothing. Yeah, I wonder what these strange spirits are?" Reimu "Guess I'll do something about it... I'll have to investigate why these guys appeared in the first place." "There's no time like the present". Both of them set out to investigate, each looking to be the first one to solve the incident. They set out that very night. —— Meanwhile, the phenomenon had also manifested at the mountain shrine. At the Moriya Shrine on Youkai Mountain, the strange spirits were also appearing near the shrine maiden, Sanae Kochiya. Sanae thought it was strange, but noticed that they were not phantoms. These spirits were divine spirits. They were beings of the same nature as Lady Kanako and Lady Suwako. Divine spirits are born from intense human emotions such as greed and fear. Divine spirits rarely cause direct harm to humans, but they would not be born without a desire strong enough to cause it. For example, prayers for a great harvest, or protection from misfortune... Sanae decided she could use this opportunity. Gathering divine spirits is the same thing as collecting human desires. It is equivalent to gathering faith. But she could not figure out why divine spirits began forming everywhere. She hasn't seen such a strong desire that was swirling over Gensokyo. Sanae decided to investigate the cause. —— The world after death. The Netherworld. The incident was also happening in the Netherworld. A different kind of spirit had begun appearing among the phantoms. Well, to be exact, the divine spirits were appearing continuously from the ghosts only to disappear, appear and disappear, over and over. Youmu Konpaku, the gardener of the Netherworld, was baffled. Naturally, she felt divine spirits being born from her own body as well. The divine spirit were fleeting things that disappeared almost instantly, but she could feel their faint wills. That is, if newborn divine spirits could be said to have wills in the first place. It might have been something like a newborn plant instinctively bending towards the sun, but a half-human, half-phantom like herself could feel it. They were headed in the direction of the human village. Once she considered it, she saw that the Human Village seemed to be emanating a faint glow. Youmu "I get it now. The divine spirits are not only born from me, but from all living things." She then suspended her gardening work and decided to investigate without delay, but.... —— The divine spirits seemed to be looking for one who would accept them. Within the dark, earthy mausoleum... The faint light of the spirits illuminated their surroundings, but were soon swallowed by the darkness, unable to bring the whole story to light. At that point, the divine spirits understood. Each one of our desires, like earning a lot and not wanting to get hit by danmaku, much less wanting to use a spell card... one who would accept such small desires exists only within a fantasy. Such desires do not naturally come to fruition without one's own effort. Even so, hanging on to their one ray of hope, the divine spirits made their way through the darkness with all their heart and soul. And, without knowing the reason for their own birth, they returned to nothingness. They perished, unaware that someone was watching them and chuckling. As her resurrection drew near, she began to smile— And she vowed her vengeance. „ ~ Ten Desires Prologue English Translation “ 博麗神社。人里離れた辺境の地に建つ神社である。 大地を凍らせた白黒の世界は終わり、幻想郷は本来の美しさを取り戻そうとしていた。 桜と共に神霊が舞う春であった。 　霊夢　「桜は綺麗なんだけどねぇ」 　魔理沙「桜が綺麗なら良いじゃないか」 桜が咲けばそれを楽しまない生き物など幻想郷にはいない。博麗霊夢と霧雨魔理沙の二人も、その生き物であった。 　霊夢　「でも何か嫌な予感がするんだよねぇ」 　魔理沙「奇遇だな。私もだ」 桜は容赦無く散り続ける。この機会を逃せば次は藤の花まで花見出来ないかもしれない。 それでも二人は桜の木の元で宴会する気になっていない。 何故か。 それは正体不明の霊が漂っては消えたりしていたからだ。 　霊夢　「何か、前にこんな幽霊だらけの春があったよね」 　魔理沙「ああ、でもあの時は花見できなかった気がするぜ。 　　　　　春が殆ど無かったからな」 　霊夢　「そうねぇ、あの時は冥界の奴らの所為だったんだよねぇ」 　魔理沙　「そうだ、霊が絡む事はみんなあいつらの所為だもんな」 　霊夢　「そうそう、そういう事にしておけば問題ないもんね」 現在漂っている正体不明の霊、それはただの幽霊や、最近現れた地霊ではない事は明白であった。 それは神霊。神様になる筈の霊である。 一般的に神霊は神社を住処とする事が多いが、実は何処にでも住む実態のない霊である。 その神霊が彼女達を悩ませているのであった。 　魔理沙　「こんなんじゃ明日、花見できないな。 　　　　　よし」 　霊夢　「よし？」 　魔理沙　「あ、ん。何でも無いぜ。 　　　　　何だろうな、この不思議な霊は」 　霊夢　「なんとかするかー。 　　　　　こいつ等が現れた原因を調べないとね」 思い立ったが吉日。二人は我先にと調査に出かけた。その夜のうちに。 ―― 一方、山の神社にも異変が起きていた。 妖怪の山にある守矢神社、ここの巫女さん、東風谷早苗の元にも奇妙な霊が現れていた。 早苗は不思議に思ったが、それは幽霊などではない事に気付いた。 その霊は神霊。 神奈子様とか諏訪子様とかと同じ性質の物であった。 神霊が生まれる原因は、非常に強い人間の欲や想い、恐怖、感情である。本来、神霊が直接人間に危害を与える事は少ないが、何らかの強い欲がなければ生まれない筈だ。例えば、豊穣祈願や厄除けといった……。 早苗はこれは使える、と判断した。 神霊を集める事は人間の欲を集める事と同じ。それは信仰を集める事と同じなのだ。 しかし、何故突然神霊があちこちで生まれるようになったのか判らない。そんな強い欲が幻想郷を渦巻いているようにも見えない。 早苗はその原因を探ることにした。 ―― 死後の世界。冥界。 冥界にも異変は現れていた。幽霊に紛れて別の霊が現れていたのだ。いや、正確に言うと、幽霊からも次々と神霊が現れては消え、消えては現れを繰り返してた。 冥界の庭師、魂魄妖夢は困惑していた。 彼女も当然、自分の体からも神霊が生まれているのを感じていた。 その神霊はすぐに消えてしまう儚い物であったが、僅かに意思を感じる事が出来た。いや、生まれたばかりの神霊に意思などあるのだろうか。芽生えたばかりの植物が持つ向光性の様な物だろうが、半分人間、半分幽霊の彼女には感じ取ることが出来た。 その向かう先は人間の里がある方面。 そう思ったとき、人間の里の方面がぼやーっと明るくなっているように見えた。 　妖夢　「そうか。 　　　　　神霊が生まれているのは私からだけではなく、全ての生き物から生まれているのね」 庭の手入れを中断し早速調査に出かける事にした、のだが……。 ―― 神霊は自分を受け入れてくれる人を求めているようだった。 暗くて土くさい霊廟の中。霊達の幽かな灯りが辺りを照らすが、すぐに闇に吸収され、全容を明るみにさらす事が出来ない。 そこで神霊は悟るのだった。 我々個々人の、稼ぎたいとか弾幕に当りたくないとか、ましてやスペルカードを使いたいとか、そんな小さな欲を聞き入れる者など 幻想だと。その程度の欲は結局自らの努力無しには成就されないと。 それでも一縷の望みをかけて神霊は一心不乱に闇を進む。 そうして自分が生まれた原因も掴めぬまま、無に帰すのだ。 その様子を見てほくそ笑む者がいた事に気付かぬまま果てるのだ。 復活が近いことに笑みを浮かべ―― そして復讐を誓った。 „ ~ Ten Desires Prologue Japanese Youmu returns as a playable character.

Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Aya Shameimaru writes a Bunbunmaru Newspaper article about Youmu guiding a large swarm of phantoms from Gensokyo back to the Netherworld. During the interview, Aya asks Youmu about the Netherworld itself as well as her working conditions there. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense An encyclopedic article is written on Youmu by Hieda no Akyuu. Strange and Bright Nature Deity In chapter 2 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Youmu visits the Hakurei Shrine to voice her concerns that Reimu and Marisa have been using ghosts as toys and cooling themselves down with them. Her concerns go ignored. Silent Sinner in Blue While looking at a cloudy harvest moon, Youmu asks Yuyuko about Ran Yakumo's true intentions. One lunar month earlier, Ran had visited the Netherworld and asked them to keep watch for the vampire and her team while they worked on their rocket. Although Yuyuko turned down the request, she later explains to Youmu that she had been observing the vampire's movements all along. She then orders Youmu to tell the shrine maiden how to complete the vampire's rocket. Youmu meets Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya at the Hakurei Shrine, where they are discussing the fuel problem. Instead of looking to the sky, Youmu suggests they think about how ships and other methods of travel work to figure out how to make the rocket function. Thanks to this advice, Reimu realizes she needs to call upon Sumiyoshi, the god of voyages. Later, after Yukari manipulates the border between the illusionary moon and the real moon, Yuyuko and Youmu follow her hints and reach the Lunar Capital. They search for a valuable object there and return with a thousand year old sake. The Grimoire of Marisa Marisa Kirisame documents Youmu's spell cards in The Grimoire of Marisa, adding her own descriptions, comments, and thoughts on how to imitate them. Oriental Sacred Place In chapter 4 of Oriental Sacred Place, Youmu gets stuck doing a courage test all on her own. She hates the idea. She tries to keep herself calm by holding her sword, but it doesn't help much. Almost everyone hiding in the scaring side ends up frightening her. She quits the test before she even gets to see the Three Fairies of Light. Wild and Horned Hermit Youmu is seen at the Hakurei Shrine flower viewing, drinking Kasen's sake. The Grimoire of Usami Youmu is one of the judges of the Hakurei Fireworks Festival spell cards. Foul Detective Satori Youmu finds Yuyuko Saigyouji unconscious and gets questioned by Rin Kaenbyou about what happened. Once Yuyuko wakes up, it comes out that she fell into a coma after drinking sake brought by Marisa Kirisame, who was being possessed by Mizuchi Miyadeguchi at the time. Yuyuko, Youmu, and Satori Komeiji go out to track down Marisa. They find her at Alice Margatroid's house, where Alice has also fallen unconscious. The group ties Marisa up and questions her. Youmu keeps her sword pointed at Marisa to make sure she does not try to escape. Whispered Oracle of Hakurei Shrine Youmu has a fortune slip written about her by Reimu has a way to clean up the aftermath of an incident.

Name Meaning

Youmu's full name is Konpaku Youmu (魂魄 妖夢). The characters for Konpaku (魂魄) translate to "soul." The "n" sound shifts to an "m" because Japanese flows more smoothly that way before a "p" sound. Although both kanji refer to the soul, they represent different aspects. Kon (魂) refers to the spiritual soul, which leaves the body at death and ascends to Heaven. Paku (魄) refers to the physical soul, which stays with the body for several days before returning to the Earth. In Youmu's case, kon represents her phantom half and paku represents her human half. The entire Konpaku family consists of half phantom, half human members.

Youmu (妖夢) likely means "ghostly dream," which fits her character traits. The same kanji appear in the Japanese title for Perfect Cherry Blossom (東方妖々夢 Tōhō Yōyōmu).

In Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Youmu's name appears in romaji with her surname first during pre battle dialogue. This stands out because every other character with a Japanese name in the game follows Western order with their given name first. This inconsistency is one of several typographical errors in the game, alongside the inconsistent spelling of Aya Shameimaru's name.

Appearance

General Description: Youmu is a figure with short silver hair. Her ghostly half is a white phantom as large as her human self, sometimes referred to as "myon" by the fandom. According to ZUN, her height is "fairly short."

Facial Features: She has short silver hair. A black hairband with a black ribbon tied off-center is worn in her hair. Her eye color varies by appearance: blue in most appearances, red in Perfect Cherry Blossom and her last word portrait in Imperishable Night, and silver in Ten Desires.

Clothing/Outfit:

• Standard Outfit: An aquamarine vest and skirt over a white undershirt. Several ghost insignias appear along the edges of the skirt and on the breast pocket of her vest. A black bowtie is worn.
• Sleeves: In all game appearances after Perfect Cherry Blossom, her sleeves are short.

Items:

• Roukanken: A long katana with a large white tassel on the handle. In Perfect Cherry Blossom, it had a cherry blossom insignia and a flower attached. The insignia is missing in most later appearances except Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. In Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, it gains a standard katana handle with red light particles along the blade.
• Hakurouken: A wakizashi (short Japanese sword). In Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, it has a blue handle with small souls along its blade.

Physical Traits: Her ghost half appears alongside her. In Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, the phantom half gains a snake-like head.

Design Alterations by Game:

• Perfect Cherry Blossom / Imperishable Night: Red eyes.
• Immaterial and Missing Power: White hair, blue eyes.
• Ten Desires: Messier hair, silver-colored eyes.
• Wily Beast and Weakest Creature: Different insignias, phantom half gains snake-like head.

Alternate Forms/Disguises: Youmu possesses alternate color schemes in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Immaterial and Missing Power, and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.

Personality

• Straightforward and Diligent: Youmu has a straightforward and diligent personality.

• Easily Manipulated: Youmu is often manipulated by those around her, especially Yuyuko. She often fails at her tasks as a result.

• Does Not Understand Her Master's Teachings: Suika Ibuki pointed out that Youmu did not think Youmu understood her Master's teachings about "truth-slashing."

• Strong Sensitivity: Youmu has strong sensitivity. Her human half was unable to resist the insanity-inducing effects of the true Moon, causing her to become half-insane.

• Afraid of Ghost Stories, Dares, and Darkness: Despite being half-phantom, Youmu is afraid of ghost stories, dares, and darkness. She is calm around phantoms since she is half phantom herself. Yuyuko pretended there was a ghost under a tree, earning a terrified shriek from Youmu.

• Easily Confused: After being mistaken as a hermit, Youmu temporarily mistook herself for being a hermit.

Goals

• Steal the spring essence to get the legendary Saigyou Ayakashi to bloom perfectly (Failed).
• Solve the incident with the false moon (Succeeded in her route).
• Prevent animal spirits from wreacking havoc (Succeeded in her route).

Relationships

Yuyuko Saigyouji

Youmu's mistress, ever since Youmu was born—as stated by Youmu herself in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red. Youmu is completely loyal to Yuyuko, though she often has trouble understanding her mistress's intentions or thought process.

Youki Konpaku

Youmu was Youki's student and later his successor as the gardener of Hakugyokurou. She believes that his disappearance is intended as some kind of lesson from him.

Yukari Yakumo

Yukari is a friend of Youmu's mistress, Yuyuko. Youmu respects Yukari greatly, and Yukari helps her with lessons and advice, though—much like with Yuyuko—Youmu does not truly understand her either.

Youmu also treats Yukari's servant, Ran Yakumo, with professional respect, even though Yuyuko has told her that she does not need to do so.

Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu

Given her position as a yama, Eiki ranks among the superiors of Youmu's mistress, Yuyuko. Although Youmu understands the yama's authority and holds Eiki in high regard, she had never personally encountered her until Phantasmagoria of Flower View. During Youmu's ending sequence, Eiki suggests to Yuyuko that she instruct Youmu further on the proper way to handle cutting down spirits. Additionally, Eiki observes that a loss to her in the story mode would mean Youmu would not typically be sent to Eiki for posthumous judgment.

Komachi Onozuka

Youmu and Komachi initially crossed paths in Phantasmagoria of Flower View. As a shinigami ferryman serving under the same yama, Komachi could be viewed as something of a colleague to Youmu, though their respective duties rarely overlap. Youmu acknowledges Komachi's role and holds her in considerable esteem, frequently expressing gratitude for her work transporting the deceased whenever they encounter one another. Komachi, in turn, attempts to advise Youmu against cutting down ghosts so frequently, and in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she describes Youmu as "an interesting fellow."

However Aya does note that as long as she isn't limited by a viewfinder that no one can beat her in terms of speed which could be why Youmu is moving too fast for her and her camera) with Slashing Attacks

It's noted that one cannot defeat spirits or devilish powers without a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb. In the world beyond (Gensokyo), physical form has no meaning for all non-human entities)

It's further explained that magic is a force that cannot be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, with Yumemi even proposing a "Non-Unified Magic World" theory. Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension.

  • Probability Manipulation (Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension)
  • Madness Manipulation (Unaffected from the affects of the Lunarian Full Moon, a hypnosis that drove the humans who came to the Moon insane, further being noted by Reisen that the moon drives people insane)

• Mind Manipulation (Phantoms most threatening feature is the ability to affect the minds of people around it, if one is surrounded by cheerful phantoms, they'll eventually feel pleasant, for gloomy phantoms, vice versa.

• Observation
  • Unconscious Manifestation: Gods and buddhas are no more than youkai, yet youkai are hated while gods are worshipped, all being due to humanity deciding it should be that way. The form Nue takes has changed due to the various ways people have observed her. Humans created reasoning in order to explain all natural phenomena, thus every phenomena that could be observed therefore belongs to the human race, due to this, humans come to believe all but one, or perhaps even all forms of reasoning were false, spawnning youkai who were born from the natural phenomena and thoughts people have about them.
  • Truth Manipulation & Information Manipulation (Truth is built upon information just like a tower is built upon sand, most of the truths that are known are built upon information, thus truth is easily changed by informationa nd there's no such thing as information that concepts only but the truth as truth itself is the ultimate illusion, one that does not exist in Gensokyo)

    • Restoration (The ability is explained further that the power of purification is the power of the gods, that restores something to its godly nature where it didn't have a name)
    • Nothingness Manipulation (A state of namelessness is a state of borderless purity as it is explained in Curiosities of Lotus Asia Chapter 15 that nothing in the world had a name and it was a world in which all things were mixed together in choas, though the gods of ancient times gave a name to every last thing and so the orderly world was born, naming somethign creates a new border that makes it recognizable to a thing effectively the power to name something is to produce the object from nothingness)

Roukanken and Hakurouken (楼観剣と白楼剣)

123

Roukanken (楼観剣)

• Description: The Roukanken (楼観剣, "watchtower sword") is one of the two swords used by Youmu Konpaku, forming a daisho pair with the Hakurouken. It is frequently used in her spell cards and attacks. It is said to have been made by youkai and is too long to be wielded by normal humans.
• Appearance: The Roukanken is a long-bladed katana, noticeably larger than a standard sword. Its sheath features a flower on top attached with a seal and a small rope. The blade's length makes it impractical for ordinary human use.
• Usage: Youmu wields the Roukanken as her primary offensive weapon in combat. She claims that "The things that cannot be cut by my Roukanken, forged by youkai, are close to none!" This suggests she considers it capable of cutting through almost anything she might encounter.
• Function: The Roukanken is said to have the power to kill ten phantoms in a single strike. However, as one cannot actually kill phantoms, the truth of this claim is debatable. The sword may instead sever or disperse phantoms in some manner rather than truly killing them.
• Notable Traits: The Roukanken's youkai-forged nature and extraordinary length set it apart from conventional blades. Despite Hieda questioning the claim about killing phantoms, Youmu's confidence in the sword's cutting ability is absolute.

Hakurouken (白楼剣)

• Description: The Hakurouken (白楼剣, "white tower sword") is the ancestral wakizashi of the Konpaku family, forming a daisho pair with the Roukanken. Only the Konpaku family is capable of using this blade. It is frequently used in Youmu's spell cards and attacks.
• Appearance: The Hakurouken is a wakizashi, a shorter blade paired with the longer Roukanken as a traditional daisho set. Its appearance is that of a well-crafted ancestral sword bearing the legacy of the Konpaku family.
• Usage: The Hakurouken has the power to dispel the confusion of those it cuts. Using it on humans causes them minor pain and discomfort, though it is also capable of killing them. Using it on phantoms sends them to nirvana.
• Function: Unlike conventional swords that merely cut flesh, the Hakurouken affects the spiritual state of its target. On humans, the effect is relatively mild—pain and confusion rather than lethal harm unless the wielder intends otherwise. On phantoms, the effect is far more significant, forcibly sending them to nirvana regardless of their merits or worthiness.
• Notable Traits: In Youmu's ending in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu is indirectly mentioned to have explained that what Youmu is doing to the spirits is not allowed, as the Hakurouken can send them straight to Heaven regardless of whether they deserve to go there or not. This bypasses the proper judgment of the afterlife, making the sword potentially disruptive to the natural order of spiritual reincarnation and judgment. Only the Konpaku family can wield this blade, limiting its use to Youmu and her lineage.

A simple, easy-to-use card with absolutely no special traits. For youkai, Reimu's needles must surely be an itch-scratcher that feels achingly good.

One of the highest-firepower Equipment Cards there is. There are many humans and youkai who wanted to try shooting a laser, so it's a fairly popular card.

Attacks while following right behind you. It's half of Youmu's ghost half, not half of Youmu herself. So it's 1/4 of her. Being possessed by a phantom is typically nothing to be glad about, but since it attacks things for you, it's something you can more-or-less rely on.
	上海人形 タイプ：装備カード 自動的に敵を見つけて倒しに行ってくれる アリス・マーガトロイドの人形 自我を持っているような動きだが、 人形には自我は無い。多分だが……	Shanghai Doll Type: Equipment Card Alice Margatroid's doll. Automatically seeks out enemies to defeat. It moves as if it's got a mind of its own, but dolls don't have minds. Well, probably...

Attacking wildly in every direction is far too thoughtless. But for an ice fairy, that's exactly what proves that she's the strongest around! Use that thoughtlessly wide attack range to your advantage.
	背中の扉 タイプ：装備カード 背中の扉を解放する摩多羅隠岐奈の能力 背後の敵弾を消し、攻撃も出来る 生物にとって、背中は弱点であり理想郷でもある その先にいるのは、背中を預けられる尊者か それとも楽園にすむ天魔か	Back Door Type: Equipment Card Okina Matara's ability to unlock the door in one's back. Erases bullets behind you, and can deal damage as well. For living creatures, the back is both a weak point and a utopia. Does it hide a wise sage, to whom you can entrust your back? Or does it hide Tenma, residing in paradise?
	鬱陶しいＵＦＯ タイプ：装備カード 自分の周りをＵＦＯが飛ぶ封獣ぬえの能力 ＵＦＯは敵弾を消してくれるバリアになる ＵＦＯの写真をいっぱい見たことがあるでしょ？ でも宇宙戦争は起きていない ＵＦＯは飛びたくて飛んでいるに過ぎないんだよ	Annoying UFO Type: Equipment Card Nue Houjuu's ability.

UFOs fly around just because they feel like it.
	太古の勾玉 タイプ：装備カード 自分の横に付いてくる勾玉を出す玉造魅須丸の能力。 真横から来る敵弾を消してくれる。 用途不明の昔の道具が発掘されると、人間はすぐに 宗教的な用途に使われたと想像する。 本当はもっと具体的な使い道があると言うのに。	Ancient Magatama Type: Equipment Card Misumaru Tamatsukuri's ability to make a magatama appear on each side.

	守銭奴の教訓 タイプ：能力カード ”落ちている物は全て自分の物！” という河城にとりの能力 アイテムの回収範囲が劇的に広がるぞ 河童は腕を伸ばすことが出来るので それを活用してかき集めているに違いない	Miser's Advice Type: Passive Card Nitori Kawashiro's ability, which embodies her policy of "everything that people drop is mine for the taking!" Your item collection radius shall expand dramatically! Kappa can stretch their arms out, so this is clearly taking advantage of that fact to scoop up items.
	神山への供物 タイプ：能力カード 山に捧げられた物を全て回収する八坂神奈子の能力 アイテムの自動回収ラインが大幅に下がるぞ 　 ”山に捧げられた物は全て自分のものである！” ああ、何という自己中心的な響き！	Offerings to a Sacred Mountain Type: Passive Card Kanako Yasaka's ability to collect every last thing offered to the mountain. The item autocollect line is dramatically lowered! "All offerings to the mountain belong to I!" Ah, it has such a self-centered ring to it!

A medicine that's popular with demographics who have issues with elixirs of immortality, but will happily accept elixirs of long life. There's really not much difference, though.
	幸運うさぎの足 タイプ：能力カード 被弾時にちょっとした幸運が訪れる因幡てゐの能力 喰らいスペルカードの有効時間が長くなり、 さらに死亡時にお金が減らなくなる。 ウサギのように素早く、ずる賢く ミスを回避できる幸運のお守り。	Lucky Rabbit's Foot Type: Passive Card Tewi Inaba's ability. A tiny bit of good luck visits you upon getting hit. Your window to use a Spell Card upon death gets longer, and you won't lose any money upon dying, either. A good-luck charm that helps you avoid losing lives, as quick and cunning as a rabbit.
	弱肉強食の理 タイプ：能力カード 本人のショットが強くなるという驪駒早鬼の能力 パワーが低くても強くなれるので便利な能力 いくら頭を使おうが、策を練ろうが 圧倒的な力のもとでは誰もが降伏する。 結局、大切なのは攻撃力なんだよなぁ	Law of the Survival of the Fittest Type: Passive Card Saki Kurokoma's ability to increase the power of your regular shot. A useful ability that helps make you stronger even if your Power is low. No matter how much one uses their head or devises strategies, everyone's bound to surrender in the face of overwhelming strength. Attack power's what really matters in the end, y'know?
	法力経典 タイプ：能力カード スペルカードが大幅強化される聖白蓮の能力 さらに使用タイプのカードのクールタイムも減少する 結局の所、敵なんてちまちま攻撃しても すぐにピンチになって魔力を解放して倒すんだ だったら、強化するんならスペルカードで決まりさ	Sutra of Dharmatic Power Type: Passive Card Byakuren Hijiri's ability to massively buff your Spell Cards. The cooldown time for Active Cards also decreases. You can attack enemies with your peashooter all you like, but in the end, you're bound to get cornered in no time and beat 'em with a huge release of magic. So if you're gonna power something up, it's gotta be your Spell Cards!

Your main shot will sometimes catch small-fry in the blast. People often talk about exploding frogs with firecrackers back in the day. But you think they don't go around exploding on their own, don't you? As a matter of fact, they do explode naturally.
	疾風の下駄 タイプ：能力カード 超高速移動が可能になる射命丸文の能力 ショットを撃っていない時は超高速移動出来る 超高速移動中は当たり判定が極小になり、 更に移動開始時の一瞬だけ無敵になる 天狗ならではの詐欺判定を引き起こす能力だ	Gale Geta Type: Passive Card Aya Shameimaru's ability to enable super-fast movement. You can move at extreme speeds while not firing any shots. During high-speed movement, your hitbox becomes extremely small, and you become very briefly invincible when beginning to move.

	偶像防衛隊 タイプ：能力カード オプションが弾を消すようになる埴安神袿姫の能力 敵に勝つには心強い味方が必要だ。そういえば 周りにはいつもオプションがいたじゃないか そいつらが弾を消す盾になってくれれば……！ （残念ながらクールタイムはあるよ）	Idol Defense Corps Type: Passive Card Keiki Haniyasushin's ability.

You receive +1.0 Power upon acquiring this card, and if you die, you can only lose Power down to 3.0 at minimum. P Items are basically just dead weight, yeah? Scurryin' around to grab those things is playing right into the enemies' hands. Leave stuff like item-scrounging to your underlings.
	弾幕の亡霊 タイプ：能力カード 敵弾にかする敵弾を消す事がある西行寺幽々子の能力 亡霊は死を怖れない。いや、怖れるわけがない グレイズとは死の恐怖を受け入れることである 死への恐怖が有り得ない亡霊にとって グレイズは何の脅威にもならないのだろう	Danmaku Ghost Type: Passive Card Yuyuko Saigyouji's ability to sometimes erase enemy bullets via grazing. Ghosts do not fear death. Rather, they cannot fear death. Grazing means accepting the fear of death. For a ghost who couldn't possibly fear death, grazing should pose no threat at all.
	鬼傑組長の脅嚇 タイプ：能力カード 敵が追加でお金を出す様になる吉弔八千慧の能力 慇懃ながらも逆らう気力を奪う態度で 妖精達からなけなしのお金を奪う アビリティカードを購入するときに必要な物は何だ？ 人生で何が一番大切な物か、君なら判る筈だ	Kiketsu Matriarch's Threat Type: Passive Card Yachie Kicchou's ability to make enemies produce extra money. Steal meager amounts of money from fairies with a demeanor that's polite, yet also steals one's will to resist. What do you need when it's time to buy an Ability Card? What's the most important thing in one's life? You should know the answer.
	地獄の沙汰も金次第 タイプ：能力カード お金を２００消費して死を無かったことにする 四季映姫・ヤマザナドゥの能力 生前に何をしてきたのか全て判ります ……それだけのお金を持っているという事は もう一回人生をやり直す価値は持っているようね	Money Is The Best Lawyer In Hell Type: Passive Card Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu's ability to spend 200 of your money and pretend that a death never happened.

	肉体強化地蔵 タイプ：能力カード じわじわライフを増やす矢田寺成美の能力 取得時にライフを１つ増加し 更にステージクリアの度にライフのかけらを取得する いつもお地蔵様にお備えしてくれてありがとう 見返りに健康な体が欲しいんでしょ？　そうでしょ？	Physical Enhancement Jizo Type: Passive Card Narumi Yatadera's ability to gradually gain lives over time.

You sure I can't use this for mail-order stuff...?

Handling Sword Techniques

Youmu is a swordswoman who dual-wields two special swords: Roukanken and Hakurouken. Due to Youki's disappearance, her sword training is incomplete, yet she is already extraordinarily skilled in swordsmanship. She consistently wins spell card duels, which are usually long ranged combat, using only her swordsmanship.

Youmu can perform a constant barrage of flying slashes as danmaku. She is also extremely fast, allowing her to close in on opponents and deliver flurries of slashes faster than the eye can see.

Owner

Youmu Konpaku
Stage 5 — Easy

Spell Card Pattern Description

Youmu starts on the left side of the screen. The game slows down as the atmosphere becomes tense. In less than a second, she dashes horizontally across the screen and makes a slashing motion. This creates expanding circles of blue arrowhead shaped bullets. During the next wave, the game slows down again while those bullets are still affected by the change in speed. Youmu repeats the attack, this time coming from the right side.

Youmu sends her phantom half to the top of the screen. The phantom starts firing large purple bubble like bullets in two arcing zigzag patterns. One of these arcs moves at medium speed, while the other moves much more slowly. Meanwhile, Youmu's human half goes to the left side. The game slows down, and then Youmu dashes across the screen. Any bullets caught in her path get slashed and turn into a large clump of smaller red bullets of varying sizes, which then explode outward.

Spell Card Pattern Description

The game slows down as Youmu prepares to dash horizontally across the screen and slash. When she makes the attack, multiple vertical tears appear in the air. Each of these tears fires several lines of green and blue bullets. These bullets get caught up in the slowdown effect as Youmu prepares to repeat the attack.

Spell Card Pattern Description

Youmu starts in the middle of the top edge of the screen. Multiple bullets appear at random heights. Red bullets come from the right side and travel straight toward the left, while blue bullets do the opposite. Youmu then performs a slash that creates a vertical tear. This tear pulls bullets toward it and makes them circle around it. The game slows down. When the slowdown ends, any bullets caught in the tear redirect and aim for the opponent's current position. The tear then disappears, and Youmu moves along the top edge of the screen toward where the opponent is located.

It fires slow, rice shaped bullets straight upward from random positions along its length. Meanwhile, Youmu moves to the top of the screen and follows the opponent's movements loosely. She fires lines of large red bullets aimed at wherever the opponent is currently positioned.

The half circle is made up of arrowhead bullets in five different colors, arranged in sections from left to right as yellow, orange, red, purple, and blue. After the bullets are fired, Youmu prepares another wave while the previous bullets are still on screen. The game slows down again during this preparation.

「断迷剣」 ("Danmeiken")
"Hesitation-Cutting Sword"

Owner

Youmu Konpaku

Spell Card Pattern Description

Youmu swings her sword in an arc directly in front of herself. The slash travels forward a short distance before fading away. This attack can destroy any projectile it touches, including standard bullets, spirits, and projectile based EX attacks such as Reimu's yin yang orbs, Youmu's own souls, or Sakuya's thrown knives. However, it cannot cancel out non projectile attacks like Marisa's lasers, Medicine's gravity fields, or Eiki's area attacks. The slash also does not instantly kill bosses or regular enemies on contact. Enemies may still be defeated by the damage dealt, but that is not a built in property of the sword itself. Against Reisen's EX attack, the slash will not remove the explosion area after it goes off. It is unclear whether the bullet can be cut before it detonates.

Spell Card EX

「未断の魂」 ("Midan no Tamashii")
"Irresolute Soul"

Owner

Youmu Konpaku

Spell Card Pattern Description

Youmu places a small stationary dark mass onto the opponent's side of the field. The size of this object does not vary. It stays in place and deals damage to any player who touches it. The mass vanishes on its own after roughly five seconds.

Spell Card Lv2

迷符「纏縛剣」 (Meifu "Tenbakuken")
Hesitation Sign "Sword of Binding Desires"

Owner

Youmu Konpaku

Spell Card Pattern Description

Columns of bullets fall from the top of the screen. Each column consists of alternating triangle shaped bullets and small dot bullets. Every bullet has a slightly random angle of movement, meaning they do not drop straight down. While the overall column descends as a group, the individual bullets shift around within it. The columns themselves may fall at different speeds from one another, and each bullet also has its own slight variation in how fast it drops. Raising the spell card's level increases the falling speed of the columns and the total number of columns generated. Higher levels do not significantly reduce the gaps between columns. Instead, they add more columns and make the attack last longer.

Spell Card Lv3

迷符「纏縛剣」 (Meifu "Tenbakuken")
Hesitation Sign "Sword of Binding Desires"

Owner

Youmu Konpaku

Spell Card Pattern Description

This works similarly to the Level 2 version, but the dot bullets are replaced with small knives. Each column is actually split into two staggered lines. The triangle bullets come out first, followed by the knives. The knives roughly divide the open space between the lines from the Level 2 version in half. The same notes about falling speed, random angles, and level scaling apply here as well.

Immaterial and Missing PowerScarlet Weather Rhapsody

Control Scheme

Immaterial and Missing Power can be played using either a keyboard or a gamepad.

For Player 1 using a keyboard, the default controls are:

• Arrow Keys — move the character
• Z — corresponds to A
• X — corresponds to B
• C — corresponds to C
• V — corresponds to D

Character movement is represented using a numpad layout: 7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

• 6 — forward (toward the opponent)
• 4 — backward (away from the opponent)
• 2 — down/crouch
• 8 — up/jump
• 7, 9, 1, 3 — diagonals (can be simulated by pressing the two corresponding direction keys simultaneously)

Special inputs are performed by quickly pressing a sequence of directions followed by a button. For example:

• 66 — forward dash
• 236B — down, down-forward, forward, then B (default X key)

The number 5 indicates no directional input.

For keyboards without a numpad, diagonals are produced by pressing two directional keys simultaneously. For example, Down + Right = 3 on the numpad layout.

Button notation in most game documentation uses A/B/C/D, though older sources (like readme.txt) may use P/K/S instead:

• P = A
• K = B
• S = C or D (context-dependent)

Movement

Forward Movement

Input: 6 The character is able to advance across the battlefield, allowing them to apply pressure, close distance, or reposition during combat.

Backward Movement

Input: 4 The character can retreat to create space, disengage from pressure, or reposition defensively.

Crouching

Input: 2 The character can lower their stance, granting access to low-profile actions and certain techniques while reducing their hit area against high attacks.

Standard Jump

Input: 7, 8, & 9 The character can leap into the air in multiple trajectories, enabling aerial attacks, evasive movement, and vertical repositioning.

Forward Dash

Input: 6 6 The character performs a rapid burst of forward movement. During this action, they briefly enter a grazing state, allowing them to pass through certain threats while advancing. Some characters will dash farther if 6 is held.

Backward Dash

Input: 4 4 The character quickly retreats with a burst of movement while entering a grazing state, providing both evasive mobility and defensive repositioning. Some characters will dash farther if 4 is held.

Super Jump

Input: 2 7, 2 8, & 2 9 The character executes a powerful leap that carries them higher and farther than a standard jump. This movement also applies grazing, making it effective for evasion and aerial control.

Air Dash

Input: 6 6 or 4 4 while in the air While airborne, the character can rapidly change their position midair. The number of air dashes available is limited until landing, with most characters performing 2 and Remilia being able to perform 3.

Basic Moves

Close Normal Attacks

Input: A / B All characters possess close-range melee attacks that change based on proximity to the opponent.

Far Normal Attacks

Input: fA / fB When performed at greater distance, A and B become projectile-based attacks instead of melee strikes.

• fA: A standard projectile used for zoning and space control.
• fB: A secondary projectile with different speed, trajectory, or behavior than fA.

Forward Normal Attacks

Input: 6A / 6B Enhanced melee attacks with increased reach and power compared to their neutral counterparts.

Bomb

Input: 22C The character deploys a bomb that knocks back nearby opponents. Bombs have limited stock and are replenished through item collection.

Spell Card Declaration

Input: 236D The character declares a Spell Card, entering a powerful state. The declaration grants temporary invincibility, with a brief vulnerable window at the start.

Special Move System

In addition to standard attacks, each character possesses a unique set of Special Moves. These techniques are executed through specific directional input sequences combined with attack inputs. While the exact techniques differ by character, the underlying input structures are largely standardized across the roster.

The available Special Moves and their corresponding input sequences are documented within in-game character profiles and practice interfaces.

Standard Special Move Inputs

Most characters utilize the following core directional sequences for their Special Moves:

• 236A/B/C (🢃🢆🢂)
• 623A/B/C (🢂🢃🢆)
• 214A/B/C (🢃🢇🢀)
• 421A/B/C (🢀🢃🢇)

Each input may produce different results depending on whether A, B, or C is used.

Item Collection

When a character is struck, any active projectiles she has on the screen are converted into collectible items and are immediately claimed by the opposing fighter. These items fall into two categories:

Spirit Items — Small blue squares labeled with “霊” (Spirit). Collecting these increases the fighter’s spirit gauge and they are the most frequently obtained item.

Bomb Items — Large green squares marked with a “B”. Collecting one increases the fighter’s bomb stock, up to a maximum of two bombs at any time.

Additionally, whenever a character is knocked down, the opponent automatically receives multiple spirit items. Roughly every third knockdown also grants the opponent a bomb item.

Blocking

When an attack connects, a character can defend by holding a backward direction (1, 4, or 7). Successfully blocking greatly reduces incoming damage, often negating it entirely, though certain situations may apply penalties.

Melee attacks that are blocked under the correct conditions incur no penalty. However, some melee attacks require a specific blocking state—standing, crouching, or airborne—to be blocked properly. If such an attack is blocked in the wrong state, the block is considered incorrect. In these cases, the block effect appears red instead of blue, and the defending character suffers a loss to health and/or spirit.

Guard crush attacks (22A and 22B) follow special rules. If they are not blocked, they function as strong melee attacks. When blocking, 22A must be blocked while standing, and 22B must be blocked while crouching. Blocking either attack incorrectly results in the immediate loss of all spirit.

Projectiles that can be grazed cannot be blocked correctly. Blocking these projectiles causes minor health damage—sometimes limited to the red portion of the health bar—and also applies a spirit penalty.

In Story Mode, later bosses frequently use Spell Cards that feature unblockable projectiles. These attacks must be avoided through grazing or manual movement. Some Spell Cards include projectiles that cannot be blocked or grazed at all, requiring the character to fully move out of their path to avoid taking damage.

Spirit Power

Spirit Power (霊力) governs a character’s ability to fire projectiles, defend against attacks, execute special moves, and activate Spell Cards. The current amount is shown on the Spirit Gauge (霊力ゲージ) at the lower-left of the screen. Different actions consume different amounts of spirit. If no spirit is spent for a short period, the gauge will begin to recover automatically, with spirit items accelerating this regeneration.

When a character’s Spirit Power is fully depleted, the gauge turns red. While in this state, the character cannot use projectiles or special moves until the gauge has fully refilled. If spirit is exhausted as a result of an incorrect block, the character is also briefly stunned. During spirit depletion, sA and sB lose their enhanced properties and function the same as A and B. Spirit recovery continues normally, and spirit items still restore gauge value.

Blocking behavior also changes while spirit is drained. Melee attacks can only be blocked correctly; even when blocked properly, the character still takes health damage using a distinct block animation. If a melee attack is blocked incorrectly, it will connect as though no block was attempted. Projectiles may only be blocked while grounded; airborne blocking is ineffective, and the projectile will hit regardless.

Grazing

Grazing occurs when a character is dashing, super jumping, or performing specific actions that allow them to temporarily avoid damage. While grazing, projectiles pass through the character without dealing harm, and in some cases, the projectile is destroyed upon contact.

Certain high-level attacks, especially from endgame Story Mode bosses, feature Spell Cards with unblockable and ungrazeable projectiles. These attacks cannot be avoided by standard grazing, requiring the character to manually move out of the projectile’s path to prevent damage.

Spell Cards

Spell Cards are powerful, visually striking attacks that characters can use once they have accumulated enough Sign Power (符力), displayed near the Spirit Gauge. Each character can select two Spell Cards prior to a fight: one for the first (white) health bar, called the First Sign (壱符), and one for the second (red) health bar, called the Second Sign (弐符). Second Signs are typically enhanced versions of the First Sign, though some may be entirely unique.

Accumulating Sign Power is achieved by dealing or receiving damage, as well as collecting items. When a character declares a Spell Card (by pressing 22D), their background darkens, a seal appears beneath them, and a timer starts. If the timer reaches zero, the declaration ends, preventing further Sign Power accumulation for that round.

Activating a Spell Card is usually done with 236D, though some have an alternate 214D input. Certain Spell Cards may require an additional input to deal damage. There is a brief vulnerability window at the start of the animation; if the character is hit, the Spell Card is canceled, wasting one Sign Power. Once successfully activated, the character becomes briefly invincible. Using a Spell Card consumes both Sign Power and Spirit Power, though declarations may continue if Sign Power is depleted, except in specific cases like Marisa's Final Spark, which consumes all resources and ends the declaration after one use.

Spell Card images include corner symbols indicating their function: a circle for ranged, a sword for melee, and a crescent moon for special utility effects. The top right corner indicates whether the card is a First Sign or Second Sign.

Control Scheme

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody can be played using either a keyboard or a gamepad.

For Player 1 on keyboard, the default inputs are configured as follows:

• Arrow Keys — character movement
• Z — A button
• X — B button
• C — C button
• A — D button
• S — A+B input
• D — B+C input
• Q — Pause

Movement notation follows the standard numpad-style directional layout:

7 8 9 4 5 6 1 2 3

• 6 represents forward movement (toward the opponent)
• 4 represents backward movement (away from the opponent)
• 2 represents downward movement or crouching
• 8 represents upward movement or jumping
• 7, 9, 1, and 3 represent diagonal directions

Directional notation always assumes the character is positioned on the left side of the screen. As a result, “forward” and “backward” reverse depending on screen position, but the numerical notation remains consistent.

Diagonal directions can be produced on a keyboard by pressing two directional keys simultaneously. For example, pressing Up and Right at the same time corresponds to 9, while Down and Left corresponds to 1.

Special actions are executed by inputting rapid directional sequences followed by a button press. For example:

• 66 indicates a forward dash
• 236B indicates a down, down-forward, forward motion followed by the B button

The number 5 is occasionally used in notation to explicitly indicate a neutral state with no directional input.

For keyboards without a physical numpad, directional inputs are still represented using this system, with diagonals achieved through simultaneous key presses.

Most in-game documentation uses the A/B/C/D notation for button inputs. However, some older references may instead use P, K, and S:

• P corresponds to A
• K corresponds to B
• S may refer to either C or D, depending on context

Forward Movement

The character can move toward the opponent to close distance or apply pressure. Input: 6

Backward Movement

The character can move away from the opponent to create space or reposition defensively. Input: 4

Crouching

The character can lower their stance, enabling low-profile movement and access to crouching actions. Input: 2

Standard Jump

The character can jump backward, vertically, or forward, allowing aerial movement and attacks. Input: 7 (backward jump), 8 (neutral jump), 9 (forward jump)

Forward Dash

The character performs a rapid forward movement. During this action, the character enters a grazing state, allowing certain projectiles to pass through. Input: 66 Alternate Input: D + 6 Note: Holding the forward direction may cause some characters to dash farther.

Backward Dash

The character performs a rapid backward movement while entering a grazing state, providing evasive mobility. Input: 44 Alternate Input: D + 4 Note: Holding the backward direction may cause some characters to dash farther.

Super Jump

The character executes an enhanced jump that travels higher and farther than a standard jump while applying grazing. Input: 27, 28, or 29 Alternate Input: D + 7, D + 8, or D + 9

Air Dash

While airborne, the character can perform a rapid burst of movement forward or backward. The number of air dashes is limited before landing, with most characters able to perform two by default. Certain conditions, such as Wind weather, may increase this limit. Air dashes do not consume Spirit Power and cover a fixed distance. Air dashes and flight share the same usage limit. Using one reduces the remaining opportunities for the other before landing. For example, performing an air dash reduces the number of available flight actions, and vice versa. This shared limitation also applies under special conditions such as Wind weather. Input (airborne): 66 (forward), 44 (backward)

Flight

While airborne, the character can enter a sustained movement state that allows controlled flight. During flight, the character is considered to be grazing but consumes Spirit Power over time. Flight continues as long as the input is held or until Spirit Power is depleted. Input (airborne): D + direction

Common flight directions include:

• Forward Flight: 6 + D
• Backward Flight: 4 + D
• Upward Flight: 8 + D
• Downward Flight: 2 + D
• Diagonal Flight: 7/9/1/3 + D

While flying, the character can change direction mid-flight by switching directional inputs while continuing to hold D.

Basic Attacks

All characters possess a standard set of basic attacks. Certain attacks change properties depending on whether the input is tapped or held. A tapped A input is referred to as "A", while a held A input is referred to as "[A]".

Additionally, some attacks vary based on distance. Pressing A while very close to the opponent results in one version, while pressing A at a farther distance produces a different version (the exact distance varies by character). The close-range version is referred to as "A", while the farther version is referred to as "f.A".

Inputs

A

A fast melee attack.

f.A

A slightly slower melee attack with increased reach and power compared to A.

6A

A slower but significantly longer-reaching and more powerful melee attack.

2A

A fast, low-hitting melee attack that does not change based on distance.

3A

Functionally similar to 6A, but hits low instead of mid.

8A

An airborne-only melee attack that generally strikes upward.

6[A] / 3[A]

Guard Crush attacks. These are performed by holding the A button while using the respective directional input.

B

A light projectile attack.

6B

A variant of B that is aimed higher.

2B

A variant of B that is aimed lower.

C

A heavier projectile attack with different properties from B.

6C

A heavier projectile attack that is usually aimed straight forward.

2C

A heavier projectile attack that is usually aimed upward.

All of the above attacks also have aerial variants when performed while airborne.

Charged Projectiles

Most projectile attacks can be charged by holding the input button ([B] or [C]). Charged projectiles typically release additional bullets or enhanced effects. An audible sound cue plays when a charged projectile or a Guard Crush attack is successfully executed.

Dashing Attacks

These are attacks performed during a forward dash. They are generally dashing melee attacks that move the character forward farther than standard attacks. Depending on the character, these attacks may also apply grazing.

Attack properties, ranges, speeds, and behaviors can vary significantly between characters, and many general rules have character-specific exceptions.

Input: 66 + A / B / C

Special Moves

The character possesses a set of SpecialMoves distinct from standard attacks. These techniques are executed through specific directional input sequences combined with attack inputs. The exact effects and behavior of each technique depend on the character.

In some cases, the same technique may be executed through more than one input sequence. Likewise, input sequences that produce a technique for one character may not produce the same result for another character.

The following notation is used when listing Special Technique inputs: - “>” indicates sequential inputs. - “Hold” indicates the input is held rather than tapped. - “+” indicates inputs performed simultaneously.

The availability and behavior of these Special Techniques vary by character. This section reflects common input structures rather than guaranteed results.

Blocking

Standard
The character is able to guard against incoming attacks by holding a backward direction. Successful blocking greatly reduces or negates damage, though certain conditions may result in penalties.

Melee attacks can be blocked correctly, preventing penalties entirely. However, some melee attacks require the character to be in a specific state—standing, crouching, or airborne—to be blocked correctly. Blocking such an attack in an incorrect state results in a spirit penalty. Incorrect blocks are visually indicated by a red block effect and accompanied by an audible cue.

Guard Crush
Certain attacks function as Guard Crush techniques. When unblocked, these attacks behave as powerful melee strikes. When blocked, each Guard Crush attack has a required blocking state. Blocking a Guard Crush attack incorrectly results in the temporary loss of a spirit orb and leaves the character briefly vulnerable.

Projectile and Special Attack Interaction
Standard grazable projectiles cannot be blocked correctly. Blocking these attacks results in a spirit penalty. Special attacks and Spell Card techniques additionally inflict chip damage to the character’s health alongside spirit damage when blocked.

Border Escape

The character can perform a Border Escape to disengage while trapped in a guarding state. This action allows the character to reposition by escaping in a chosen direction, creating space or avoiding continued pressure.

Executing a Border Escape consumes one spirit orb as a cost for its use.

Spirit

Spirit is a resource required to fire projectiles and activate certain special techniques. Rather than a single continuous gauge, spirit is represented by multiple individual orbs that are consumed when these actions are performed.

When spirit is not actively used, depleted orbs gradually regenerate over time. However, if the character suffers a guard crush or performs a Border Escape, one spirit orb becomes temporarily disabled and cannot be used until it naturally recovers.

While spirit orbs are disabled, the character retains access to projectiles, special techniques, and flight, but with reduced capacity. As more orbs are rendered unusable, available offensive and mobility options become increasingly limited. In this weakened state, the character is also more susceptible to further guard crushes, as spirit penalties apply regardless of how many active orbs remain.

Grazing

Grazing is a defensive state that occurs during certain movement actions, such as rapid movement or aerial maneuvers. While grazing, incoming projectiles pass through the character without dealing damage.

In some cases, successfully grazing a projectile will also cause the projectile to be neutralized. Grazing is primarily used to bypass projectile pressure while maintaining mobility.

Spell Cards

Spell Cards are powerful, one-time-use abilities that can be activated during combat. Characters assemble a "deck" of 20 Cards, which gradually become available as the character deals or takes damage. Deck composition is customizable in the Player Profile, but must always contain exactly 20 Cards.

Activation is performed by pressing B and C simultaneously. Characters can switch between available Cards by pressing A and B simultaneously.

Cards are divided into three types:

• System Cards: Include bombs, weather changes, and other utility effects that can influence the flow of battle.
• Skill Cards: Enhance or modify a character's special attacks, providing alternate attacks or increased damage output.
• Spell Cards: High-damage attacks that automatically execute once activated, such as Marisa's Master Spark or Reimu's Fantasy Seal.

Some Spell Cards require multiple Cards in hand to activate, while others can be used with fewer. Availability is indicated by a glowing border around the Card's image.

Other

Standard Tactics

• In Spell Card Rules: Youmu utilizes various different cutting styles that send out projectile attacks while her phantom half also shoots out projectiles.
• Outside of Spell Card Rules: While not directly shown, Youmu would likely use her sword to sever one's soul and send them straight to the afterlife along with many of her attacks directly cutting the opponent then being potentially dodgeable danmaku.

Weaknesses

• Phantom Weaknesses: Due to many Phantoms existences are on the verge of dissipating, it makes it difficult for them to act under sunlight. Phantoms have transient and fragile existences.
• Magic Weaknesses: Magic users taking too much damage will cancel out their attacks. If a magic users spirit is depleted they enter a state of "Guard Crush" where they can't use bullets, special moves, or spell cards at all. Repeatedly attacking red glyphs will break one's defenses.
• Unique Weaknesses: Youmu will not fight someone that is lacking in training and one could stop her from attacking with a proper apology. Despite Youmu being half-dead, according to herself, she can still die.

Note

• Any translations from en.tohouwiki.net are considered fine to use as they all fall under Project Translations, a fan translation team that have translation guuidelines and rulesets, along with moderators that directly overlook and proofread English translations to check for machine translations.
• Despite Gensou Narratograph being directly noted to be an "unofficial Touhou tabletop RPG", ZUN has directly participated in the RPG and noted the way Reimu acts during his session is how canon Reimu would act, thus character actions done by him and mechanics are fine to use.
• Even if characters have not showcased using a bomb, they should all be able to use bombs, as bombs are realistically just spiritual attacks and to even be able to fight the non-human entities, requires a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb, meaning everyone that is non-human or is fighting non-humans is using spiritual energy.

Special Notes

• Many spell card images and descriptions along with translations are heavily helped by the Touhou Wiki.

Explanations

Canoncity of Touhou Project

The Touhou Project franchise canoncity mainly falls under any media worked on by ZUN are official and canon to the overall lineup.

There are various aspects constantly debated about within the canon:

PC-98

Media like PC-98, has been noted by ZUN to be ignored as one can ignore derivative works. He has also said that anything prior to Embodiment of Scarlet Devil can for the most part be ignored and one can think of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil as the starting from a clean slate and starting a new series, he's also referred to Highly Responsive to Prayers as a study product. With this in mind, one would assume that PC-98 is thus non-canon to the Windows continuity of games.

However, ZUN has also directly stated PC-98 games are the same world as the Windows Games, stating that any contradictions that exist from PC-98 can be ignored from the retcon in Windows Era. While one argues ZUN noting the works are derivative works to be ignored and Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil should be seen as the starting point, these statements are moreso telling a fan to not worry about having to play PC-98 games or learn more about their stories.

It's also been noted in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's おまけ.txt that the game chronologically is not too far from the previous title, which would be Mystic Square, the PC-98 title. ZUN has also directly brought back characters from PC-98 games, noting he wanted to bring back characters from before Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and notes any of the other older characters that don't appear have probably retired by now and are warmly watching over things from various places nowadays. When asked where Mima from PC-98 has gone, ZUN notes that he doesn't bring them back due to making things complicated and having potentially angry fans ask where she has been the entire time, he has also noted that there's not much use for characters like Genji as Reimu can fly now and also notes he is not dead. ZUN has also made mention to Genji probably living in the lake in the back of the shrine. In Touhou Sangetsusei ~ Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Reimu and Marisa were talking about glowing moss with Reimu saying it would be nice to transfer it to the pond in the back of the Hakurei Shrine and Marisa saying that she could make it grow there on the turtles' back, referencing Genji.

In Touhou 07 Perfect Cherry Blossom, when Alice meets Reimu, she tells her long time no see, noting that they've met before calling her "old friend". In Yuuka's mode in Touhou Project - Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Reimu directly references defeating Yuuka back in PC-98. If Yuuka defeats Marisa in the same game, she will note that Marisa has grown up quite a bit, when the last time she's seen her has been in PC-98.

Seeing as ZUN himself has directly said both PC-98 and Windows are in the same world and that characters directly acknowledged PC-98 events and reference characters from it, PC-98 is completely canon and any contradictions PC-98 have can be ignored.

Side Games Time Placements

Touhou 7.5 - Immaterial and Missing Power takes place between Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night.

Multiple Playable Routes

In the series, there are multiple playable character routes, including some where the characters fight Reimu herself and defeat her, calling question into what route is canon. ZUN has elaborated that canonically, anytime Reimu and the gang are defeated, they challenge again however many times they want, but on the youkai side, they do not challenge again after being defeated and are not attached to the results of winning or losing.

In terms of how playable routes have went, some examples of canonically noted routes:

• In Reimu's profile on Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it's noted that Reimu resolved the Scarlet Devil Mansion Incident alone.
• Reimu is also acknowledged to have resolved the Spring Snow Incident in Perfect Cherry Blossom, though it is not noted if she did this alone.
• Reimu claims she solved the Eternal Night incident, however if one asks her about the cause or the perpetrator, she'll only respond with ambiguous answers, it is also not noted if she did this alone.

With some of these examples, it is normally assumed that in some way Reimu has some part in resolving every incident and other routes are dubiously canon depending on what transpired.

Spell Card Rules

There are many cases of weaker humans beating stronger Yokai or vice versa within the Touhou series, this has been elaborated on in Reimu's profile on Perfect Memento in Strict Sense. Reimu introduced the spell card rules as the youkai had no way to defeat the Hakurei shrine maiden, making many youkai feel that their meaning to exist have dissapeared. The rules incoporate the following:

• Spell cards are techniques specially-named by the individual, and they must be declared upon use.
• The number of each party's spell cards must be determined in advance of a duel.
• The first party to have all of their spell cards beaten must admit defeat.
• The victor is entitled only to what was agreed upon before the duel. If they're not interested in what their opponent has to offer, they can refuse a duel.
• Winners should generally allow losers a rematch.
• Always prepare for the unexpected.

The original draft held these rules:

• Combatants will give names and meanings to the duel for the benefit of beauty.
• Combatants will declare the number of named duels before beginning.
• Combatants may not repeat attacks by relying on stamina.
• Combatants may not deliver attacks that do not have meaning. The meaning itself becomes the attack's power.
• In the case that a combatant loses a named duel, that combatant will admit defeat, even if he or she has strength remaining. No combatant may kill a human, even upon victory.
• Combatants will write the duel's name on paper in the format of a contract. By doing so, the above-mentioned rules become absolute. These papers will be called spell cards.

These rules allows for duels that feel almost like sport rather then a match, and have allowed for weaker fighters to challenge stronger ones, due to this though, it also has become possible for youkai to freely defeat Reimu without worrying about the consequences.

Due to them being written into cards and essentially affecting the ability and power of an attack, the spell cards are likely the thing binding attacks to specific properties.

Parallel Worlds

Parallel Worlds is a topic brought up at some points in the Touhou Project franchise, they are worlds called "Probability Worlds" by Yumemi, stating that those and parallel worlds are one and the same. This essentially means that parallel worlds in Touhou are based on the concept of probability. Yumemi and Chiyuri use a "Probability Space Hypervessel" in order to travel to alternate worlds and time periods, further showcasing that probabiliy serves an importance.

Magical vs. Physical Strength

There are multiple occasions ofcharacters commenting on humans like Reimu being strong. Despite this Reimu showcases physical strength that isn't superhuman, such as the fact that she cannot cut a bamboo stick while Fujiwara direclty does in front of her.

This is due to the difference between magical and physical strength.

In works like Symposium of Post-mysticism, Yuugi Hoshiguma's profile has Suika directly state that Yuugi is weaker then her in magical powers, but stronger than her physically, lining a clear difference between magical and physical strength.

While one can be physically stronger then another, such as how Onis are physically the strongest, magic users are still able to keep up with them due to using a different form of attack.

An example can be found with Yuugi herself, when Reimu fights against her in Subterranean Animism, with her acknolwedging her strength, something Yuugi only does to those who are truly strong. This establishes even with spellcard rules, Yuugi considers Reimu a strong fighter. Reimu herself is very clearly not at an oni's physical strength, as she cannot do the things they can, however, her magical strength allows her to keep up with them.

To defend against magical based properties requires Non-Standard Defenses as it is acknowledged as not being something of standard physicality.

The Three Layers of Reality

In Chapter 27 of Curiosities of Lotus Asia, Reimu proceeds to explain how reality works to Rinnosuke and Marisa, where she explains in-depth the three layers of reality.

This conversation started from discussing the mechanism of fortune, where Rinnosuke attempted to posit that the future is predetermined and that Reimu's luck was her being able to calculate in an instant the predetermined future, however Reimu had a different explanation requiring her to lecture on the mechanisms of probability, in her explanation, the world is made up of three layers: the physical layer that moves in accuracy with the laws of physics, the second layer that moves with the spirit, and the third layer of memory which is the recollection of events that lies within all things. The memory layer rejects the loop of the physical and mental layers, the two layers the youkai conceive of the world which is why they believe history repeats itself and the future is predetermined. Since it's only possible to add to the memory layer, it's possible to completely recreate the past.

While the physical layer follows the laws of physics, the mental layer interprets the outcomes and the memory layer alters the probability, essentially creating the future, since it's impossible for memories to raech the same state as a point in the past, the future is not predetermined, thus when Reimu is able to predict how the dice will fall, she's not predicting the fall of the dice, the dice members the fact that she predicted how the dice would fall, thus due to this, Reimu entering the memory of the die-face greatly skews the results in Reimu's favor, where the results side with Reimu.

Thus the memory layer is essentially the most important layer that rejects the notion of loops from the previous two layers.

Dream vs. Reality

In the Touhou Project series, it is made very apparent that dream and reality are in truth one and the same.

In Changeability of Strange Dream, Maribel Hearn has a conversation with Renko Usami about how she is bringing objects out of her dreams, which Maribel posits that truth exists within subjectivity, if one can see the same sights over and over again then that's the kind of place it is as such dreams are nothing like the antonym of reality, where much longer ago people did not draw a distinction between dreams and reality, with Maribel reiterating that dreams and reality are the same.

In Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom it is shown that the Dream World is a separate plane, that in games like Antinomy of Common Flower are shown to have influence on reality.

In the Urban Legends in Limbo finale, Sumireko notes that she is able to travel between the human world and Gensokyo whenver she sleeps, where her dream self enters Gensokyo making her innately unable to be interacted with.

Trivia

• Youmu's music theme is titled "Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?", named after a story in the Taiheiki in which a warrior named Hiroari slays a youkai known as Itsumade (以津真天). This serves as an homage to that storyline. Based on the story of Perfect Cherry Blossom, the heroine plays the role of Hiroari, Youmu is Itsumade, and the corpse is likely Yuyuko Saigyouji. (See also Flandre Scarlet and Yukari Yakumo.)

• In Touhou Hisoutensoku, Youmu's spell card "Reincarnation Sword 'Slash of Circular Vicissitude'" resembles one of Grant's moves from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. However, Youmu performs the move using her swords, whereas Grant performs it using his legs.

• Youmu and Sakuya Izayoi use the fewest total attack patterns during their respective Stage 5 boss fights, each with six patterns. Sakuya uses three nonspells and three spell cards, while Youmu uses two nonspells and four spell cards.

Perfect Cherry Blossom - キャラ設定.txt Perfect Cherry Blossom Phantom-Human Gardener Konpaku Youmu Stage 5 boss, a being of half-human and half-phantom. She's both the second gardener for the Saigyouji clan and the guardian of their mistress. Mainly she posses the ability to handle sword techniques. Youmu looks after the garden with two swords: Roukan-ken, a long sword that has the power of killing ten phantoms in a single strike, and Hakurou-ken, a short one that can slash down the confusion of humans. Youki Konpaku, the former gardener, had been the one for about 300 years, but suddenly became a hermit after having made a very young Youmu his successor. Youmu's ability of swordsmanship has still been in progress, so she needs daily practice. Though Youmu herself has no clue where her master is, she thinks of her master's absence as a lesson from him. This time, following the order the mistress of Saigyouji gave her, she has gathered all of spring essences in Gensokyo to make Saigyou Ayakashi bloom fully. Here in Hakugyokurou, there are so many cherry blossoms besides Saigyou Ayakashi, which has never bloomed. The former gardener said, "I've seen the fully-bloomed Saigyou Ayakashi before, but this might be the last time." At that time, Youmu had no idea what he meant and why the mistress of Saigyouji gave her such an order. Youmu sweeps the garden of the Saigyouji family; it's said to be about 200 yojanas long (The mistress exaggerates, of course). This garden has a terrifyingly large amount of cherry trees, where they are attractions for residents all over the Netherworld. When spring comes, Youmu is very busy in sweeping. This year isn't the exception, too. The phantoms are really thrilled by the wonderful cherry trees. Everyone said, "I'm happy to be a phantom!" On the other hand, Youmu, the half-human saw this raving scene and half-sympathised by saying: "I'm half happy to be a half phantom!" Now, all she should do is wait for the blooming of Saigyou Ayakashi. ○幽人の庭師 　　魂魄　妖夢（こんぱく・ようむ） 　　５面のボス、幽霊と人間のハーフ。 　　西行寺家の専属庭師二代目兼お嬢様の警護役である。 　　主に剣術を扱う程度の能力を持つ。 　　妖夢は、一振りで幽霊１０匹分の殺傷力を持つ長刀「楼観剣（ろうか 　　んけん）」と、人間の迷いを断ち斬る事が出来る短剣「白楼剣（はく 　　ろうけん）」を使い、庭を手入れしている。 　　先代、魂魄 妖忌（こんぱく ようき）は、３００年程庭師を務めたあ 　　る日頓悟し、まだ幼すぎる妖夢に後を継がせ幽居する。妖夢の剣術は 　　まだ未熟であり、成熟までには日々の修行を欠かせない。師匠である 　　はずの先代は行方をくらましてしまい、妖夢でもどこに居るのか知ら 　　ない。これも教えなのだろうと彼女は思う。 　　今回、西行寺お嬢様の命令により西行妖（さいぎょうあやかし）を満 　　開にさせるため、幻想郷中の春を集めていた。 　　ここ白玉楼には、西行妖の他にも桜が数多くあるが、毎年西行妖だけ 　　は花を咲かせる事は無かった。先代は満開を見たことがあるそうだが、 　　「それは凄い桜だったが、もう二度と咲くことは無いだろう。」と、 　　言っていたのである。 　　妖夢は、そのときはまだその意味も、西行寺お嬢様が命令を下した本 　　当の理由も判らなかった。 　　妖夢は、（もちろんお嬢様の誇張だが）幅２００由旬にも及ぶと言わ 　　れる西行寺家の庭を受け持っている。この庭には恐ろしい程の桜が備 　　わっていて、冥界中の住人の花見の名所となっている。春になると、 　　妖夢は後片付けに大忙しである。 　　今年も例外ではなく、近年まれに見る見事な花模様に幽霊達も大感激。 　　誰もが「幽霊やってて良かった」と言ったという。そんな姿に、半分 　　人間の妖夢は「半分幽霊やってて半分良かった」と半分同調する。 　　後は、西行妖の開花を待つのみであった。 Perfect Cherry Blossom Immaterial and Missing Power - 上海アリス通信.txt Immaterial and Missing Power Dual-Wielder of Lives Konpaku Youmu Species: Half-human half-phantom Location: Hakugyokurou in the Netherworld Ability: Handling sword techniques A gardener who works in Hakugyokurou and lives there. She's half-human and half-phantom, half-dead and half-alive, half-phantom and half-reality, and altogether half-baked. Yet she has two swords. She applies all her effort to anything and everything, but it hardly ever pays off. Compared to the quirky cast of characters that inhabits Gensokyo, her all too straightforward personality makes her easy to tease. She's very good at fighting arts for someone so half-baked. She's also quite good at magic for such a half-baked character, and actually has a good sense of balance between the two. Using the Roukanken and Hakurouken, which were said to be forged by youkai, she can cut through enemies and spirits and bullets and people's worries. The things she can't cut through are next to none. Roukanken (the longer one) has the power to kill ten phantoms in one slash. Hakurouken is said to be able to cut through people's confusion, but of course, both of them can also kill living humans. ○生命の二刀流 　　魂魄　妖夢（こんぱくようむ） 　　種族：人間と幽霊のハーフ 　　住処：冥界にある白玉楼 　　能力：剣術を使う程度の能力 　　　白玉楼で住み込みで働く庭師。半分人間で半分幽霊、半分生きていて半分死んでいる、半分実在していて半分幻という半人前。でも剣は二本。 　　　性格は何事にも一所懸命だが、それが報われることが少ない。癖のある連中が多すぎる幻想郷では、真っ直ぐ過ぎてからかわれやすい性格でもある。 　　　体術は半人前ながらも非常に優れている。妖術も半人前ながら優れており、実はバランスが取れている。妖怪が鍛えたという楼観剣と白楼剣を操り、敵だろうが霊だろうが弾幕だろうが人の悩みだろうが斬ることが出来る。斬れない物は少ししかない。 　　　楼観剣（長い方）は一振りで幽霊10匹分の殺傷力を持つ。白楼剣は、人間の迷いを斬る事が出来ると言われているが、勿論、両方とも生身の人間を斬ることも出来る。 Immaterial and Missing Power Imperishable Night Imperishable Night Imperishable Night - Manual Half-Human Half-Phantom Konpaku Youmu A being that is half a human and half a phantom. She's a half-human and half-phantom in the Netherworld. She possesses the ability to handle sword techniques. She attacks her enemy with Roukanken and Hakurouken. She is a useful girl whose body has two half kinds: human and phantom. She's supposed to be the swordsmanship teacher of Yuyuko-sama, still, she has to do the work of a gardener first every day. She's so immature you can't help liking her because of her straightforward and pure character, yet she's always made fun by anybody for her nature. The nature of residents in Gensokyo is beyond simplicity. Her weapon is serious manners, which may reaches a sense of desperation. Notes: This time, she makes her trip with Yuyuko. Focused movement is only available when she's alone. It's difficult to master her because of her narrow range of attack and the unique movement of her soul figure. When you use her Spell Card, you can't move. Besides, her Spell Card is also hard to use... By the way, you can return the soul figure back to Youmu by changing to Yuyuko. Mastering her is absolutely important when using her. ○半人半霊　魂魄 妖夢（こんぱくようむ） 　　人間と幽霊のハーフ。 　　冥界に住む半人半霊。剣術を扱う程度の能力を持つ。 　　楼観剣と白楼剣を使う二刀流。体も人間と幽霊の二つを持つ中途半端に便利な少女。 　　幽々子様の剣の指南役のはずだが、取り合えず庭師扱いを受ける毎日。 　　性格は幼さゆえストレートで判りやすく、憎めない。ただ、その為からかわれる事が多い。 　　幻想郷の周りの人間は一癖も二癖もある奴らばかりなのだ。 　　武器は真剣。必死という意味もあるかも知れない。 　　　　備考 　　　　今回は幽々子と組む。 　　　　低速移動は単独使用時のみの性能で 　　　　ある。 　　　　狭い攻撃範囲と癖のある使い魔の 　　　　攻撃で、使いこなすのが難しい。 　　　　スペルカードも使用すると自キャラの 　　　　制御が不可能になる。 　　　　スペルカードも使い難いという……。 　　　　ちなみに半幽霊の位置は、妖怪切り 　　　　替えを行うと自分の位置に補正する 　　　　事が出来る。 　　　　使いこなすには超重要である。 Imperishable Night Imperishable Night - キャラ設定.txt Half-Human Half-Phantom Youmu konpaku Species: Half-human half-phantom Abilities: Handling sword techniques She's the gardener of Hakugyokurou, which is in the world past death, but actually she is a swordmanship teacher for Yuyuko.

The phantoms haven't been making much of a fuss these days, so she's somewhat peace-addled. The bizarre spirits that suddenly appeared-- "divine spirits"-- were beings composed of the desires of humans. Their existence was transient, so they disappeared quickly, but she went off to investigate hoping that there will be no more incidents relating to any kind of spirits in the future. ○半人半霊の庭師 　　魂魄 妖夢（こんぱく　ようむ） 　　Konpaku Youmu 　　種族：人間と幽霊のハーフ 　　能力：剣術を扱う程度の能力 　　冥界の庭師兼、西行寺幽々子の剣の指南役。 　　白玉楼のもの凄く広い庭の整備を担っている為、毎日の業務が大変。 　　素直で真面目だが、騙されやすい。最近は幽霊騒ぎが落ち着き始めて 　　少し平和ボケしている。 　　突如として現れた奇妙な霊、神霊は人間の欲の具現した物であった。 　　その存在は希薄ですぐに消えてしまう物だったが、これ以上霊関係で 　　騒ぎが起きて欲しくない彼女は調査に出かけた。 Ten Desires Wily Beast and Weakest Creature - omake.txt Wily Beast and Weakest Creatures Half-Human Half-Phantom Gardener Youmu Konpaku Species: Half-human half-phantom Abilities: Capable of handling sword techniques The gardener of the Netherworld.

Her dual-sword style is also a reflection of such duality. When she was first introduced, she was written more as a tall and mighty sword fighter, but with her bizarre thinking patterns and somewhat cowardice personality, she's progressively becoming a cute servant type of character. With her master's mysteriously intense level of airhead, that perplexed look on her face has grown on her. 人間と幽霊のハーフというエキゾチックで乱暴な設定により、人間と大きな霊魂のワンセットのデザインになりました。その二面性により、二刀流のキャラになっています。初登場当時は剣士として格好良く書かれることも多かったのですが、何処か外れた思考回路と、割と臆病な性格でどんどん可愛い従者系のキャラになっていきます。ご主人様が余りにも不思議天然のため、困っている表情が似合うようになってしまいました。 Dai Touhouten (PCB) plaque ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten plaque (IN) ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten plaque (IN) Youmu, an expert of sword techniques, a trait that makes her much more like a game character. But a melee character in a shooting game often falls into a character with special schemes.Very hard to get used to, but unrivaled once mastered. I'm afraid she's to become a crazy character just like that. Maybe she seems incompetent only because she's too competent when she has a sword in her hand. 妖夢は刀を得意とする、ゲームキャラらしいキャラです。 しかしシューティングゲームにおける近接キャラというのは、 特殊なキャラになりがちです。 使いづらいけど強すぎる、狂気みたいなキャラになってしまうんですよね。 キャラの性格は頼りない事と相まって、 刀を握ると性格が変わるキャラなんじゃないかと思っています。 Dai Touhouten (IN) plaque

Misconceptions

Characters Have Flown Through Outerspace

One example of this is believed to be in Touhou 02's Stage 3 Scarlet Dream ~ Scarlet Dream where it displays stars and a space-like effect in the background, however this is actually the World of Fantasies, the world that lies between Makai and the human world, with Genji confirming this is definetely not outerspace as Reimu can breathe just fine there.

All Characters are Children

This is an argument that spawns from how small the characters look in different works, though this is moreso due to the "moe" artstyle Touhou tries to capture, in many of the manga characters look far older.

Majority of characters in the series are outright shown to drink alcohol on a daily basis, where one needs to be at least 20 years old under Japanese law to drink, where Japanese law requires no underaged characters to be shown drinking. This is even acknowledged in the series itself with a note saying alcohol is only for those over 20 years old. Thus if a character is ever seen drinking alcohol in the series, they are an adult.

The only direct non-adults in the series are Sumireko Usami, Chiyuri Kitashirakawa, and Hieda no Akyuu in her first appearance.

Youkai Control the world through both the mental and physical layer

This statement comes from a fan translation that says this in Curiosities of Lotus Asia.

While the statement seems clear cut, there is another translation used instead that makes more sense with the sentence.

It instead notes that most youkai concieve of the world through these two layers, which is why they believe the future is pre-determined and history repeats itself. This falls in line with the earlier disucssion of Rinnosuke claiming that he believes the future to be predetermined and Reimu needing to explain to him why that's not the case.
