Literally nothing - she can rematch as many times as she likes(continues are canon, see article linked), and the Hakurei barrier has been maintained by "generations" of shrine maidens so there's a plan in place for when one dies, because at least one has before.

Facts for grimdark kiddies:

*Barrier doesn't die if Reimu dies, it's been around for generations of maidens
*Youkai can survive in the outside world, at least for a while, or indefinitely if it's a strong youkai like Mamizou
*Barrier is fine for at least a month with Reimu not tending to the shrine, Kasen was there instead
*The Hakurei Barrier and the Fantasy-Reality barrier that keeps youkai safe are separate and the Hakurei barrier is just the physical space barrier.

It's not like not having spellcard rules would disadvantage Reimu anyway it's Marisa who benefits from it more. It's been mentioned what her actual ability is before and it's absurd.

Reimu's has the ability to 'float away', it sounds like it just means her ability to fly in general. But it actually means Reimu has the ability to become intangible, literal god mode since she just leaves the current plain and becomes invincible. If anything spellcard rules are a handicap for Reimu.

They could be tortured into submission? If they just kept coming back instantly.

Also there are touhous who don't have to attack you physically to kill you so Reimu's intangibility isn't that great, also asuming she cannot hold that form and stay "invincible" for extended periods of time.

Reimu can hold the invincible form forever if she has to. Yuuka only has sheer strength so Reimu can still get her with Fantasy Heaven. Yukari won't kill Reimu since she protects the barrier.

Same source that Zun was shitposting about Yukari's power level, Zun was shitposting that Yuuka was the strongest/most powerful being inside Gensokyo - which includes Yukari, and he left it questionable about Shiki Eiki in classical Zun style.
In his E-Mails, he also stated that Yuuka's lifeforce is directly connected to that of nature itself, including all living things, essentially making her immortal until the end of the universe. In this scenario, it's an endless battle because neither of them has a stamina limit unless Reimu drops Fantasy Heaven when she falls asleep.

the

> She was stated to be past the power on anyone of Gensokyo and the Lunar Capital.

That is actually a mistranslated passage.
What Zun actually said was the FIGHTS were the hardest that the players have ever seen. Basically, he intended the bosses to be really hard, keeping with the theme of LoLK upping the difficulty after the 'ease' of the last couple of games. He was ambiguous about the power levels of the characters themselves beyond (in character) calling them something else.

hourai elixir controls your mortality and gets rid of it nothing more. Yukari controls the very existence of Gensokyo and everything in it and can change borders for everything.

Straight from the wiki:

Anyone who drinks this forbidden elixir will cease to age, never become ill, and will never be able to die. Every injury shall cease; critical injuries will be healed in a matter of days. Complete destruction results in complete restoration.

Drinkers gain the inability to die, allowing their bodies to receive an indefinite amount of punishment. No matter whether they are beheaded, incinerated or has taken any other form of damage, they will always revive without exception.

you've got to stop thinking of the boundaries as physical attacks because they arn't. When I said boundary between immortality and mortality you have to think of it as an abstract concept; the boundary between mortality and immortality is removed as Yukari wishes and the people of hourai become mortal. I know it must seem like a very difficult thing to comprehend but try your best.

She's definitely something, I'm not saying she's a jobbing weakling. I'm just countering the argument that Hecatia was sucking up to her because she's weaker.

Hecatia was also the one who handed the Lunarians their asses on plates, with a nice dressing, too. The fairies were her Lampads, it was a joint effort.

I agree with both you and a lot of the Yukari posters, but that still does not change what I said. Without Zun literally stating in exacts we do not know if Yukari can change the nature of the Horai elixer or if she can just erase the existence of something else with unkown power like the dragon god or whatnot. Yukari is most defiantly one of if not the most powerful but I don't like when it gets to things that have no way of knowing based on canon works.

Hecatia was clear on that in her interview with Aya in AFiEU.

Shiki Eiki is only Yama for a small section of the world that section just so happens to include Gensokyo - she herself refers to this much in PoFV.

Yukari is lazy, she wants to be able to fight only when she feels like it and not have to do stuff when she doesn't want to. Hence she helped set up a system that allows her to start fights without any consequences and she doesn't need to work to stay alive. Essentially, Gensokyo is just a NEET playground Yukari set up for herself.

>The spellcard rules are in place so that anyone can defeat the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, but what would happen to Gensokyo if someone did defeat her?
Look, the whole point is that the barrier over Gensokyo was a prison for Youkai, but over the centuries the lack of faith in the outside world means that Youkai is safer inside than outside. So instead of keeping monsters in, it stops the outside world from harming Gensokyo.

So suddenly, it became to the best interest of Youkai that the Hakurei shrine survives to maintain the barrier. And that meant keeping the Miko around. Yes, Reimu is strong, but the point is that Reimu is now an essential part of the ecosystem and stability.

One wonders why Reimu even still solve incidents. It seems the only reason no one stops her is because she never told anyone what she is doing. It is possible that if it was plausible to contain her, the Youkai would have stopped Reimu from getting in harm's way every game. They need her alive.

tl;dr Gensokyo needed to keep the barrier up to separate itself from the outside world. That possible consequences of a barrier failure could be outright harm to many Youkai.

There is a problem with that. Belief in Youkai is the source of Youkai's powers. It might in fact, be impossible for Yukari to manipulate human belief. If she could, she would be essentially be able to use her own powers to boost her own powers, and get into an infinite loop.

Faith of humans is so valuable that people fight battles over it. I serious doubt something this fundamental to the function of the universe, could be manipulated this way.

A lot of things people claim Yukari can do are more fundamental to the "function of the universe" than faith. As far as we know, faith is important only to those beings who have come into existence on the basis of it in the first place. Those beings don't have any sway over the universe.

Vague is not the same as omnipotence. The vagueness of her powers just meant we don't know her limits, this is not the same as saying she doesn't HAVE limits.

This is not like some shonen powerlevel bullshit, or JoJo Stands. A vague power just meant that it is not well understood. It does NOT mean you can lawyer your way into infinite power like people do with Index Accelerator.

The man's own words. And they're not mistranslated.
>or JoJo Stands
Pretty much all Stand powers are well-defined though. Araki sometimes adjusts them because he didn't think them through well enough (ZUN also does this), but the only thing in JoJo that ever approaches the levels of "this" you mention here is Gold Experience Requiem, and the only thing GER does is to protect you from volitional actions.
Yukari's power is vague bullshit not because it's not well understood (unlike King Crimson in JJBA), but because "boundary" is a problematic concept that a) can be interpreted in various ways b) isn't even valid in the first place (from the absolute point of view). We don't really have any facts to go with her power other than ZUN's words that -in my opinion- still remain cryptic and ambiguous, but a lot of people take them to prove Yukari's omnipotence as long as a "boundary" is involved.
Yukari has to be omnipotent, or far less (I mean far less) powerful than the fans hold her to be. You can't have it both ways saying that she's basically omnipotent except when things like "manipulation of the boundaries of faith" that I never thought about before are involved.

This is all assuming that ZUN simply didn't fall for the stupid meme mentioned previously, of course.

What made you think fan interpretations have any standing here? You don't get to decide Yukari's power limits, ZUN does. So what if she is far less powerful than what fandom believes, that has no relevance to Yukari's abilities.

ZUN is being vague about what Yukari can do because he has no reason to spell it out. Because it makes sense that Yukari would not want people to know her own limits. As one of the de-facto ruler of Gensoko, Yukari would rather that people believe she is omnipotent.

Just because it is possible in interpret boundary vaguely does NOT mean her powers work vaguely. It is far more likely that her powers affect boundaries where "boundary" is defined and finite, it's just that we don't know what rules her powers follow.

It's like saying "I have power over heat" means I can freeze the entire universe. Just because one has an ability doesn't mean the ability applies in an infinite magnitude. We know Yukari can manipulate life and death, but she almost certainly has no power over Hecatia, goddess of hell.

To have the power is not the same as infinite power. Anyone's power set can be made outrageous if you assume it has infinite magnitude. Yukari has a very useful power that had wide applications, but to assume she can apply that power in infinite levels of magnitude is a mistake.

Why does it matter what memes are for? Yukari is not infinitely strong because it makes no sense as she is officially not the strongest in the known character list. It is canon she isn't the strongest, so it is also canon that she doesn't have infinite power. End of story.

It is just really the flaw of readers and players trying to lawyer their way to omnipotence. It's like "wishing for more wishes" with a genie lamp. Trying to abuse semantics, thinking that you found a loophole to have infinite power. But in the end this is just fanwank and not relevant at all.

That was one of her claims IIRC. I don't know if it means something simple as cheating your way through bodily destruction or the equivalent of the Hourai Elixir. Because not even life and death are that clearly delineated in real life, it gets even more complicated in Touhou where ghosts and spirits undeniably exist.

I agree with the rest of the post, of course.

This is a terrible example because in the original Aladdin, there is actually no limit to wishes AFAIK. Later on fanfic established the limits of 3 wishes, and then fanwank (can't get more wishes) clashed with fanwank (can get infinite wishes) to establish that you can't get more wishes. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, even in the context of 3 wishes, establishing the limit is easier. You can say that the rules allow only for 3 wishes; that would be the main condition the genie's power fails to breach (you can simply wish for more genies like itself though). Yukari's power doesn't resemble this in any way, hence why it's open to so much fanwank abuse.

We have literally seen multiple times in both print and game that Yukari is not all-powerful and she has limits.
True, her ability may be able to affect all sorts of physical and conceptual boundaries. And her power is incredible, able to beat down a serious-mode Tenshi all by herself.
But that's a long way from being fucking Q like half of you think she is. Doing boundary hax is not an effortless thing, as shown by her ascent to Heaven. And there is stuff she straight out can't affect, like Eiki's judgement, the Hourai Elixir, and the timing to reach the Moon.
What's more, even though she says she has no weaknesses, she's a damn liar. Gensokyo itself is one, and her origin is another.

And yes, Flan does win the quick-draw against her. For all her power and glory, Yukari is still corporeal. And Flan with the limiters off makes corporeal beings go kyuu, unless they blitz her or one-shot with a vampire weakness. And thus, people like Tojiko and Nitori can beat someone that Yukari can't.

Yukari still rolls Yuuka though because lol brute force vs. Yukari. Gensokyo is still the best game of janken.

Logic doesn't apply in Gensokyo.

And in addition, ZUN says 'Affect anything'. 'affect' is pretty fucking vague if you ask me. So if he was saying 'It can affect anything' he might be meaning 'to a certain degree' or he might be meaning 'without limits'.

I like to prefer that the latter is the case, because Yukari is explicitly less powerful than Shikieiki, who is not omnipotent considering that both the Dragon God (also known as the Yellow Dragon who originated from Chinese cosmology) and other high-level gods presumably all exist.

While the act of continuing is canonically possible, the fact that
A) It leads to a bad ending
And
B) The game's dialogue and story only make sense if that's your first time going through
implies that Reimu (or whoever the canon protag is for that game) always makes the "1cc" so to speak.
It's similar to the logic that ZUN used to explain that Marisa B in UFO is the canon route, and that No Miss Legacy is canon to LoLK, so I think it's a fair assumption to make.

> Yukari still rolls Yuuka though because lol brute force vs. Yukari.

See, the problem is, Zun has been very clear that powers and abilities are ambiguous in role and can mean anything they theoretically could mean by stretching the words, the only limitation is the raw power that the character in question possesses.
For this reason Reimu's 'the ability to float' becomes 'the ability to float outside reality' but Sakuya's seemingly massively overpowered 'the ability to manipulate time and space' is relatively weakened. Reimu has a massive power battery whereas Sakuya does not.
Now, understand that Zun has stated that Yuuka has one of (if not the) largest amounts of Raw Power in all of Gensokyo to fuel an extrapolation of her ability - larger than Yukari.
Now realize that she is someone who fights for sport and intentionally handicaps herself. This also according to Zun.
Now understand that Zun has maintained that Yuuka is one of the oldest known characters in Touhou, and constantly refers to her age when it comes to discussion of her power.
(All three of those were not quotes from the SCoOW article, but it too says the gist of this.)
Effectively, what I am saying is, her so-called 'useless ability' is just what people THINK it is, and in reality she's just not using any other part of her ability in a publicly observable way.

So, what is the limit of her ability?
Notice that, in character, Yuuka's ability is listed as the 'ability to cause flowers to bloom' and the 'ability to turn flowers to face the sun', but the moment that Zun steps out of character, her ability becomes the 'ability to manipulate flowers'.
See, that there is a telling change, because 'to cause flowers to bloom' is a one way street, it does one thing; but to 'manipulate' flowers? That can go in whatever direction you want it do go so long as it is inside your dominion - causing a flower to wither and die would be just as easy as causing it to bloom, if not easier.
But that leaves us with an interesting problem.

What is a 'flower'?
Well, in the traditional sense, a flower is a type of budding flora; in a slightly stretched sense, a flower is any flora at all; but let's step back a moment and look at the bigger picture, the culture of the people involved.
What is a flower... to the Japanese?

Well, Luck is a flower.
Love is a flower,
Hate is a flower,
Honor is a flower,
Courage is a flower,
Fear is a flower,
Trust is a flower,
Innocence is a flower,
Kindness is a flower,
Success is a flower,
Desperation is a flower,
Despair is a flower,
Pride is a flower,
LIFE is a flower,
DEATH is a flower,
FAITH is a flower,
TRUTH is a flower,
LIES are a flower,
POWER is a flower,
ABILITY is a flower,
Animals are flowers,
Men are flowers,
Women are flowers,
Japan basically invented the language of flowers, you realize - EVERYTHING is a flower to them of one form or another.
Yuuka's ability could logically stretch to any of this in the same way that Reimu 'floats' out of reality (metaphorics) and Yukari's boundaries and borders manage to affect concepts (metaphysics).

But, more than that, when someone comes into their own, realize their capabilities, or even get stronger, what is the poetic Japanese way of saying that?
Blooming.
That too is connected with flowers.
Yuuka's ability could take hold on that too, it's just metaphorics.
And that means she could also reverse the process. Hers is not just causing flowers to bloom, you know.

Causing a Human, Youkai, or other being to gain great strength, come into their own, or simply wither away into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
In other words, Yuuka is effectively the Touhou personification of Mother Nature - all without violating a word that Zun himself actually said - and everything, everything, ties back into nature in the world of Touhou.
So, Yuuka could be contrived to be the strongest person in Touhou (arguably excluding the immortals), simply by raw power alone.
Yukari's border manipulation? Doesn't mean a thing if her power is withered away into nothingness or the flower of death bloomed in her first.

Remember that someone else out there will always be able to out-autism you.

That is true, actually.
That is why past a certain point, Ancient Youkai do not engage with basically anyone near enough to their own power - because all it would basically come down to is Mutually Assured Destruction or a Mexican Standoff.
This is canon, actually. Absolute power equals absolute freedom except where others with absolute power are involved, and then they just kill each other and someone else rises up - the implications of Hecatia's interview in Alternative Facts.

This kinda makes me realize why it's so rare to see fanworks with serious conflict that are actually supposed to take place in Gensokyo (Compared to shipping and comedy stuff, that is), usually, when you have a setting full of a bunch of different characters and concepts that bounce off one another, it's usually done to create an element of chaos that gives the vibe that "Anything can happen in this fictional universe", Gensokyo would also be like one of these chaotic settings for stories but the Spell Card Rules and the Youkai-Humans relation both end up almost reversing that, giving Gensokyo the complete opposite type of element that settings like that tend to have.

The thing is, the moment a human society tries to rationalize what they don't understand with explanations beyond "It's a Youkai/Demon/Fairy/whatever", it becomes practically impossible for most Youkai to keep existing, you know when people say that if a mascot takes off their mask or helmet, the "magic is ruined", or how if you explain a joke, people will say that you ruined the joke? That's the problem, the MAJORITY (That is, no flat-earthers or other conspiracy nutheads) of people today try to rationalize what they perceive with the best of their comprehension rather than believe that "It's a demon" or other things, if Yukari killed and devoured the president with a bunch of tentacles, the VERY FACT that people would try to explain it in a way that they perceive as making sense and not just go "So there's a monster eldritch lady who just killed the president" is enough to make it impossible for most Youkai to live in the modern world, at most, the Youkai would be replaced with newer, more "grounded" legends that people would fear, but even those would also one day start to be seen as nothing more than legends.

He has an ability that basically willpowers through shit and is completely variable on the threat of his opponent.
He uses it to shut down reality warping, mind control, forced teleportation, resisting timeloops and reality warping himself. So basically it'd fuck most if not all abilities in Touhou from working on him and instead you'd need to use direct attacks.

Also has an attack that destroys your "time" so you simply cease to exist, he can do this without getting affected by a paradox.

Combine that with having pretty gud stats and yeah

Anyway, I wonder why there hasn't been a 2hu with this explicit kind of ability- an anti-ability.

You mean a destroyer? She already exists. Rumia.
She is wearing an inhibitor for a reason.

An anti-ability is not as much a destroyer as it is an equalizer.
Another interesting ability would be this, though, since you could actually empower youkai pretty easily.

Since you are talking about Rumia, I can bring up Medicine who is a similar case of either untapped or seal potential. Her ability to poison things is so potent that she can make even Yuuka CRY, imagine if she was part of the rebellion with the miracle mallet- she also fucking hates humans and tried to poison the village once.

This.
Medicine's power is underrated, if she became older, more powerful or smarter she'd be a massive threat to Gensokyo and especially if she hated humans as much as she does now.

Considering what she could do to Yuuka, she could probably send most of the cast into a coma just by touching them.

touhouverse power hierarchy
1. big G (allah/yahweh/god whatever)
2. other major deities
3. Hecatia and other "older" gods.
4. lunarians, yukari, the 4 devas and yuuka, the yama
5. reimu, marisa, remilia and beings of similar power (a good portion of the cast)
6. the rest (fairies, with the exception of clownpiece and maybe cirno on a good day

The Statue of Liberty is made in her image. There is a reason it has a torch and the crown was an exact replica. "Liberty" looked nothing like the statue. She is the Roman deity of cross-roads and why she was appropriate as the guild of immigrants in New York.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 28 07:09:40 2017 No.16934055 >>16934043 Thing is that people don't quite worship her, most people don't even know who the statue of liberty is modeled after compred to say, God, who has churches all over the world.
