I do believe that in one of the Seihou games (the vs one) Yuuka was a playable character, and she gains the ultimate magic in her ending. Never played that one myself, but I *think* thats where she got it. Whether this is canon for Touhou or not is completely up in the air, since Vivit kinda fought Marisa and Reimu once (but that could easily take place in the near future).

Regardless of whether Seihou counts or not, Yuuka uses magic in addition to her flower stuff. Please see the PC98 era where she basically master sparks you in the face (this is before spellcard rules).

And even if that WEREN'T the case, OP, if you can't imagine how being able to grow flowers on a whim would be broken, you might want to invest in a better imagination.

She controls literally anything that can be seen as a border; the best example being the border of life and death. So, she can just kill anything.

>> No.9705918

>>9705872

Well the thing about Yukari is that there are MANY direct examples of her doing EXACTLY that. Heck, she separates the boundary between day and night during one of the fighting games. You end up fighting her at the shrine with half of it bathed in sunlight, and half in the middle of the night. Gaps are only a visible, easily understood aspect of her ability to manipulate borders.

Now, the thing to keep in mind with saying that Yukari is uber powerful is that we have never actually seen the limits of her power. We do at least know that she can't make portals just anywhere, since she wasn't able to create one within the boundary of the lunar capital from earth. So there's likely an issue of range or interference.

Either way, she's not someone you would want to piss off, since even the lowest level "make a portal" ability is absolutely broken if you use it right.

Well I don't know about "boundaries between life and death" (it's just her card name, right?) but at least pic related would be a viable use of portals to off someone.

>> No.9705948

>>9705926

No, she did that during the full moon (I think), which was the stipulation for the portal she used later on. That was why they had to wait so long. Its been a while since I read that, though.

>Well I don't know about "boundaries between life and death" (it's just her card name, right?) but at least pic related would be a viable use of portals to off someone.

You're right about that. Just because you CAN extrapolate that she can do something doesn't make it fact. Its just possible that she could. Besides, she wouldn't need that ability anyway. Just think of the possibilities.

I remember talking with my friends once about how broken it would be in DnD to get a permanent portal attached to a shield. Blocking things would cause them to miss you completely, you could set up a very high caliber canon on the other side and just surprise them with instant death, you could just hit them over the head with it and send them where ever. And that's only thinking of what you can do with a fixed portal that leads to a fixed location. Make both ends pretty much anywhere you want and you have a trump card for any possible situation. Someone giving you trouble? Just leave and start dumping lava on them from a safe distance.

Regardless of which is your story about superpowers it's never the power itself that determines who's the strongest but the quantity and quality of that power.

Let's say "telekinesis" for example. It's pointless to argue whether that's stronger or weaker than another power. It all depends on how much mass the esper can move, how fast it can make it accelerate, how many different objects he can move at the same time and from how far he can interact with them.

It could be as weak as the ability to bend a spoon or as strong as playing dodgeball with entire planets.

My point was that the general hyping up of Yukari to being the best thing ever is completely unfair because the argument they make for her is only made for her, and despite the other Touhou being in the same, rather ambiguous situation, they do not get a second thought or equal treatment when she comes up in conversation.

Well, if you look at the Lunar Invasion, it seems like Yukari cooked it up to take care of troublesome youkai. Why would she need a scheme if she's so powerful? I think that, while she has an immensely impressive ability, if someone can counter it, she's very weak otherwise.

Yuuka is pretty much the opposite; her ability isn't that impressive, but her raw power is off the charts.

I posit that Suika is the strongest 2hu because she combines a potent and flexible ability with unparalleled physical strength.

No one is strongest, as far as we know. It doesn't MATTER who's strongest, either, because they are all playing a magical version of paintball, not fighting for their lives. Powerlevel discussions can be fun, in trying to interpret how powers would work, but the instant you turn it into "X vs X" it loses all value.

Besides, because of how vague things are, such comparisons are impossible to form arguments for or against. Some characters simply have more written about them, so obviously we will know how they work better than others. For all we know the whole fan EX Rumia thing is true and she's godlike.

Is she? Not fucking likely, but the point is that for most the cast we actually have NO idea how they work. And there hasn't been a single, solitary fight without the spellcard rules since the pc98 era, and even THAT was probably more playful than it looked based on some of Zun's comments.

that too, but to even consider being able to defeat the god implies you've got knowledge of the extent of his power, and are about as powerful.

with just pretty words no angel would follow him and rebel, knowing all he'll get is death or worse in return. there had to be a reason they believed it's possible to win, and who knows how it'd all go if lucifer got more than just a third of the host on his side.

it's easy to get misconceptions about the power levels when you're just a human who never saw a god or witnessed/experienced the power, but for one who was the closest to him it's different.

besides, he's the absolute ruler of hell with all demons under his command. he can't just be a weakling with big ego, the demons would never follow someone like that.

You mean as an angel that wasn't actually evil, but whom God uses to test mankind through adversity? As opposed to an angel that God essentially uses for the same purpose but is evil.

Was that actually canon though? The devil is never really mentioned at all in the Hebrew or Christian canons of scripture.

There were different Hebrew sects with some different ideas but if no definition of Satan was considered canon then the Christian interpretation of him isn't actually a retcon.

akyuu wrote it. Think of it as "threat to humans" and the threat levels make sense. Eiki is powerful but is a very low threat to humans because she would never attack them because it would be sinful in her eyes. Same for alice's low threat level. She has ultimate magic but fights never with full power or uses it. So she is quite strong. But she is no threat to humans. She even makes doll shows for little kids. So threat level low for her.

Once upon a time there was a guy who was the omnipotent God. He decided to create something even more powerful than himself and after who knows how much time he succeeded. And so Lilith was born.

After some time they decided to unite their powers and create a being even more powerful than they are. And so Eve was born.

Then the first God put all his power into a hat and disappeared. Eve now wears that hat.
