Yamatanikaze (a Touhou LW original) refers to winds that change direction from mountain to valley during the day and mountain to valley at night. An apt temperament for Nitori, as a kappa that travels between the river and the mountain. Nitori is endowed with Water Phase, as an aquatic youkai, and Moon Essence, since she collaborates with her peers. The flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water. The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.

The ability of Nitori Kawashiro from the world with squabbling gods on the mountain. It seems to be fundamentally the same as our version of Nitori's ability. The prolonged disturbance of the mountain gods seems to have caused Nitori to keep fighting for longer than in our world's history. In Nitori Kawashiro's world, she has joined forces with the youkai and native gods on the mountain to fight against the new gods (Moriya Shrine) who appeared on the Youkai Mountain. The kappa are also temporarily allied with the forces at the foot of the mountain, including Hakurei Shrine until the disturbance is resolved. As the disturbance prolonged, even the youkai and deities who would not usually show their faces began to enter the fray. This caused the war to become more chaotic, continuing the stalemate. Since the new gods of the mountain have powers related to wind and water, the kappa, who manipulate water, and the tengu, who manipulate wind, were expected to be the key military force against them. However, this also means they have a severe weakness against these gods. Both kappa and tengu were tossed about by the gods' manipulation of wind and rain. The new gods to the mountain seemed to have the advantage, but the kappa and tengu are wise and cunning. Thanks to the intelligence-gathering of the tengu and the kappa's innovative prowess, they quickly copied the new technology brought in by the mountain gods. And this didn't happen just once or twice. Every time the mountain gods brought in new technology, they copied it. Naturally, they used this new technology obtained with reverse engineering to combat the new gods on the mountain. This is how the stalemate was perpetuated. How the remaining humans at the foot of the mountain intervene should be this situation's deciding factor... But for some reason, Reimu and the others of this world have not been able to exert much influence.
