That's what you get for not using cross-shaped swords when vampire hunting.

Is Sakuya human or youkai?

Human.
>>8836589
Wrong.

>>8836588
But Sakuya would never be the same without her knives!

Sakuya Belmont

Back up your statements with sources please.

>>8836603
Not him, but Wikipedia claims she's human:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Touhou_Project_characters#Sakuya_Izayoi
>ZUN directly stated that "she plays the role of a human maid about 10~20 years old"

Cites Perfect Memento in Strict Sense that she's human, but I can't be bothered to check.

>>8836603
You stupid or what?

"Maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion

Sakuya Izayoi

Ability: Ability to the extent of manipulating time

5th stage boss. Plays the role of a human maid about 10~20 years old.

That power of hers distances her from the human race. She has given up trying to be friendly to ordinary people.
She does not care about honor or power; she thinks so long as it earns her dinner, being the Scarlet Devil Mansion's maid is fine.

She is the chief of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's maids and cleaning staff, and always takes advantage of her ability to stop time when working.
(If she cleans when time is stopped, it won't raise dust.)

Due to the nature of the mistress of the house, it is arguable whether she serves the role of maid or babysitter, but in any case, she is in charge of most of the affairs of the household.

Total of nine card attacks."

"plays the role of a human maid...." as opposed to "human maid...."
Key phrase there broseph.

>>8836605
>>8836613
She is "human" in the same sense as Patchouli and Alice are. Born human, but having learned and used so much magic and lived so long they are now more akin to youkai than humans and are considered youkai by other youkai.

Marisa is on her way to being like this, but is still actually under twenty.

Reimu is a mystery, because of her shrine maden status, the writings are unclear if shrine madens transcend their human physical bodies, Sanae's future is also unknown.

>>8836641
Patchouli was never human.

>>8836619
Being skeptical, are we?

Shiki: But more importantly, let's talk about you for a moment.
Shiki: Yes, you're too cold to other humans.
Sakuya: That would be because the only thing I touch humans with would be my cold steel.

>>8836641
>Born human
What? No. They're a different species. It just happens they're shaped like little girls because lolanime.

>>8836697
Also, her profile in Imperishable Night and a bunch of other games clearly states that she is a human: 種族：人間.

>>8836579
>outside world
It's very important to decide what method she used to enter Gensokyo. She is around 15-20 and she had to enter Gensokyo recently.

>>8836579
Is there any doujin with vampire hunter sakuya trying to defeat remillia and flandre but getting turned into their personal fucktoy instead? Because that's totally what happened.

>>8837434
Yes.

>>8837455
Good to know.

>>8837434

Lol what the fuck? No man.

>>8836641
Well according to Yukari, Reimu is well on her way to becoming a celestial. Not because of her use of magic, but because she's an unlikable little faggot. Yukari was probably just half-joking though.

Also Patchouli was born youkai, unlike alice who become youkai sometime before...perfect cherry blossom I think? Perhaps at the end of the first game she appeared in? I can't really remember...

There have been a whole mess of ideas concerning Sakuya being a younger, time travelling Eirin over the years.
While I'd love to read an 'All You Zombies' starring Sakuya, I've yet to hear one that manages to tie up even the most obvious loose ends.

>>8837605

Sakuya is a Time Lord and Eirin is her latest Regeneration.

>>8837661
holy shit o_o


---------------------
nobody dies a virgin, life fucks us all

put this in your sig if you agree

>>8837484
Source please.

Reimu said she didn't want to become youkai/goddess once I think.

>>8837484
>but because she's an unlikable little faggot.

But every 2hu loves Raymoo.

>>8837661
why everyone says Eirin have something with Sakuya?

I can't see shit

>>8837811

They love Reimu because ZUN went out of his way to make sure everyone loves her. It's stupid, yes, but still canon I guess. For whatever reason, everyone in Gensokyo can't get enough of her.

>>8838465
Hey, the villains of each game have some disdain for her.
Until five minutes later when she's beaten them and they become BFFs 4 LYF.

>>8838478

Maybe it's one of her powers. I wish I had a power like that.

>Ability: Ability to the extent of manipulating time

is this magic that she herself posseses or does she stop time with that lunar dial she's always portrayed as having?
is the lunar dial canon or just fanon bullshit?

>>8838486
She gets a bonus to her charisma in exchange for her -4 STR.

>>8837811
>>8838465
Well yeah, except...Yukari has a bit of contempt for her, if any of her dialogue in the fighting games is to be believed.
>>8837806
I think she said it in her route in the second fighting game. That's when she was chasing after Tenshi right?

>>8838500

-4 str thread you say
