So Udonge conveniently forgot her power again?

It's all fun and games until someone loses their head.

Sakuya is cool and all, but I'm really sick of Reisen being portrayed as helpless, weak, and/or incompetent.

Useless bunny, only good for her sex appeal.

Then again, Nanaroku's Reisen stated she hates fighting a few updates back. She's also not exactly willing to participate in this scheme, so that adds to it.

She can also control waves, you know like soundwaves, lightwaves, brainwaves, microwaves.

Now I can't unsee Reisen heating a Hot Pocket by staring at it with big bug-eyes.

that's pretty badass, Sakuya

It's not that she's "weak, and/or incompetent" it's just that everyone else around her is just either stupidly powerful or stupidly fast. Izayoi has the power of time stop and Konpaku has just ridiculous amounts of speed. Aside from her ability to drive people mad, she really doesn't actually have much against them.

Note that she also has the ability to manipulate wavelengths, as Wahbahbah mentioned, which is some crazy-ass skill.

I wonder if this or the previous picture would count for the Stages Gathering pool.

Meanwhile, I'm imagining Reisen using her ears as antennae to get 4G reception.

Inaba of the earth and Inaba of the moon, thanks that for having reisen being protrayed as a joke, since she is a joke in those 4komas.

What kind of 4G do you mean? The bullshit that Verizon, AT&T etc are lying to us about or the true 4G that they will never deliver?

Both Reisen and Sakuya are stage 5 bosses, both were playable in Phantasmagoria of Flower View though in that game both were on equal footing with Cirno the deceptive ice fairy (ZUN has something in store for her that much, much greater than Fairy Wars). But we should remember: This is fanon, and with fanon anything can happen.

I don't think she's weak, she just has supernaturally bad luck that just negates her abilities! Stage five boss and all that.

So basically she's female Touma without Imagine Breaker or the harem.

She's at least part of a harem, Youmu's.

Man... This version of Sakuya is downright vicious. She killed the hell out of Youmu before and now going to Undonge's neck?

Damn.

Anyone who uses throwing knives as weapons isn't exactly playing nice to begin with.Pretty sadistic way of dealing with someone.

Fanon's bad and it should feel bad.

Gensoukoumuten's work is also technically fannon. Somehow, it doesn't feel bad at all.

To be fair, I've yet to see someone stop time and jam a knife in the action to prevent lock in real life.

Touma's also a part of Misaka's harem, so same deal.

Which begs the question: Why stop time and not kill her?

At least Dio had some common effing sense behind all that ego.

Timestop is already too much of a hax.
Pragmatic timestop would be the most boring skill ever.

Maybe all that time with Remilia made her develop a sense of flair

This, pretty much. She's not weak, she's just been out-badassed.

Again Broken/Overpowered Sakuya... God damn it, I know this is like hating but this type of thing begin to bored me to death. For me, it destroy a part of the charm of the character.

I don't think it's broken/overpowered. It seems that Sakuya dispatches Reisen with ease simply because the maid can muster killing intent on demand, while Reisen is, despite her soldier training, a coward.

The fight was over about two strips ago, with Reisen looking indecisive, and Sakuya narrowing her eyes in the "going for the jugular" mode.

Logic is the most out of place thing in Touhou.

It's the very definition of Gensokyo and everything.

_cf said:

I think it has to do more with the fact that Reisen knows exactly what's going on and that nobody's supposed to be harmed (quite the opposite). The situation forced her to threaten Youmu with a gun, but she'd never use it on her. Sakuya, on the other hand, sees Reisen hold Youmu at gunpoint and assumes the worst.

If Reisen was prepared for a confrontation, she'd probably put up a good fight.

However, she's being forced to escort Youmu at gunpoint to a forced meeting with Sakuya. All the while she's agonizing over the prospect of Youmu killing her and/or hating her foreeeevvvvveeerrrr after this. Things are also not proceeding according to plan, so she's probably not too eager to report back to Eirin.

All in all, not a good day for the moonrabbit.

I stand by my idea of her being this universe's Waspinator

It's nice that Sakuya is so quick to protect her friend, I just wish she was a little more merciful about it.

Well, when you have a spellcard named after the single most notorious serial murderer in modern history, I doubt mercy is quality you posess.

Considering that she punishes China's minor teasing and annoying character traits with stabbings, this is the next logical step in progression.

Sleeping on the job: One knife.
Suspicious, inexplicable behavior: Many Knives
Gun to my friend's head: Remove assailant's head with knife

FangPanzer said:

That makes sense, because Reisen's gonna have a headache in her whole body.

I think everyone's forgotten that Sakuya has recently gone through some serious training from Hell...or the Netherworld, to be more precise.

Reisen doesn't stand half a ghost of a chance.

Hostile moment turns awkward. That's my prediction.
