Ranki-ryuu (a Touhou LW original) refers to an unstable vortex of air that forms in the atmosphere. This is an apt temperament for this Seija, an amanojaku who seeks to turn the tables of power. This Gensokyo is in the midst of an incident Seija started, so in some ways, this is her moment in the spotlight. Her power to bring about unexpected change to Gensokyo is the reverse of the new life temperament, Wood Phase (strong against Water Phase but weak to Metal Phase). Her disposition to disrupt order and bring about chaos is the reverse of the uncooperative temperament, Star Essence (strong against Moon Essence but weak to Sun Essence).

The ability of Seija Kijin from the world constantly reversing (a Touhou LW original). It is essentially the same as our version of Seija's ability. Seija Kijin's goal is to reverse everything in Gensokyo, including the power structure. According to the historical documents, Seija's Reversal Incident failed. This comes as no surprise, as all incidents must eventually be resolved, but why did she start the incident in the first place? What would the world have looked like had she succeeded? What was the incident really about? When investigating a prolonged incident, you have to find out how the incident was started and how it should've been resolved. This is because by doing so, you will likely be able to discover the reason for it's prolonging. Seija Kijin plotted to reverse everything in Gensokyo by tricking Shinmyoumaru Sukuna into using an artifact that only inchlings can use. Her motivation for doing so was simple: she's an amanojaku and, therefore, takes pleasure in being hated. Seija figured that many people would get frustrated and annoyed at Gensokyo being reversed and consider it to be an act of evil. The reason she first thought to use Shinmyoumaru's artifact was because she alone wasn't powerful enough to enact her plan. It's unclear what exactly Seija's ability is capable of reversing and to what extent, but it can be safely said that it's not capable of reversing all of Gensokyo. It's hard to imagine the Reversal Incident being prolonged as, similar to the Spring Snow Incident, it has an innate time limit. The artifact used in the incident―a.k.a, the Miracle Mallet―is a tool imbued with oni magic, so when that magic begins to return, the incident should naturally come to an end. All of the changes the mallet manifested will vanish, resulting in the tsukumogami reverting back to inanimate objects and the weak youkai ending their rampage. But not everything returns to the way it was. A price must be paid for using too much of the mallet's magic, and so its owner, Shinmyoumaru, ends up even smaller than before. What's worrisome is not knowing when the mallet's magic will begin to return. If Seija had known the answer to that question, she most likely wouldn't have started the incident at all. In order to keep the tables of power permanently flipped, it's necessary to never use the power of the Miracle Mallet again. There are three distinct possibilities that could explain the prolonging of the incident. 1. Seija has some hidden power that she used to reverse Gensokyo herself. (In this case, the power of the mallet was unnecessary or merely supplementary.) 2. Seija knew the true nature of the mallet and found some way to block its magic from returning. 3. Seija started the incident but had nothing to do with its prolongation. (In other words, she was used by the one responsible for the prolonged incidents.) If 1 is correct, then it's necessary to consider that amanojaku youkai might be a type of fallen god with divine origins. Amanojaku have connections with many gods, such as Hebo, the Chinese river god, but the two that are most commonly known are Amenosagume, who was written about in old Japanese myths, and Amanozako, a powerful evil goddess who was written about in a book from the 18th century. Tengu are said to originate from Amanozako, and it seems Amenosagume has some relation to Sagume Kishin, who Seija referred to as one of her kin. So, in this world, it's plausible that Seija's genes contain some kind of great power. If 2 is correct, Seija either prepared some tool or method for preventing the magic's return before starting the incident, or perhaps she knew a secret way to use the Miracle Mallet. It's always been strange how only inchlings are able to use the mallet. Since it was originally an oni tool, surely oni are able to use it, too... If 3 is correct, it would mean the real culprit wasn't Seija but someone else entirely. Perhaps even someone close by. Say, for example...
