Hatsu Bare (a Touhou LW original) refers to blue skies on New Year's Day. This is an apt temperament for this Reimu, who is tasked with clearing the snow clouds from Gensokyo's skies. She's endowed with Wood Phase, which longs for spring, and Sun Essence, which shines through snowy weather. The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood. The alluring and arrogant Sun Essence resists the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence, but it is weak to the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence.

The ability of Reimu Hakurei from the world with a never-ending winter (a Touhou LW original). It is essentially the same as our version of Reimu's ability. However, despite having this ability, this world's Reimu is yet to resolve the Spring Snow Incident. It seems this Reimu isn't strong enough to defeat Yuyuko. (Often times she gets blasted away before even reaching Yuyuko.) It's believed her shortcomings are the same as the Reimu who can't resolve the Scarlet Mist Incident. However, what separates this incident from the Scarlet Mist Incident is that, if this one doesn't get resolved, Yuyuko's wish will come true, leading to disaster. However, even though this incident has been prolonged, nothing of the sort has occurred. Instead, spring continues to gather in the Netherworld indefinitely, and Gensokyo continues to be trapped in winter. The flow of seasons hasn't halted, but the next season never seems to arrive, much like how Achilles can never quite catch up to the tortoise. The Netherworld inches closer to a perfect spring, while Gensokyo descends toward a perfect winter, with neither ever completing their journey. It can be said the entire universe is in this state of division. Yuyuko represents the boundary between life and death, and she herself has come to play a role in supporting this division between the Netherworld and Gensokyo. Reimu's Spirit Sign loadout includes Fantasy Seals, which she uses as bombs, and two types of homing ofuda. It's thought Reimu uses these items as a result of her desire to defeat her opponents with absolute certainty. But when it comes to battling Yuyuko, Reimu believes she still lacks firepower. There's only one way to see if other items are more effective, and that's to try them for real. Then again, perhaps using items she's used to is still her best bet...
