Character Information

Temperament: Kaiun

Kaiun (a Touhou LW original) refers to an unfamiliar or suspicious-looking cloud. This temperament is a perfect representation of Ibaraki-Douji's Arm. She is endowed with Reverse Metal Phase, the element of unveiled secrets, and Reverse Sun Essence, since she vehemently opposes all social norms. The cold and silent Metal Phase resists Earth Phase, because earth bears metal, but it is weak to Fire Phase, because fire refines metal. Thus, Reverse Metal Phase is weak against Earth Phase and resists Fire Phase. The alluring and arrogant Sun Essence resists the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence, but it is weak to the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence. Thus, Reverse Sun Essence is weak against Star Essence and resists Moon Essence.

Ability/Backstory: - Ability Unknown -

Not much is known about the ability of Ibaraki-Douji's Arm. Please refer to a different document if you wish to know how Ibaraki-Douji's Arm acted in the past and who she came into contact with. Only an extremely limited few know the truth: Reimu Hakurei, the Hakurei Shrine Maiden; Kasen Ibaraki, the hermit also known as Ibarakasen; Tenshi Hinanawi, the celestial; and a few officials of Hell. Her nature is obviously that of an oni, but as her name implies, she is not a complete oni. Regardless, she is still an oni, and thus she is a being to be feared who is seldom spoken of. Oni are much more dangerous than your average youkai, and they are ever mysterious. So much so that some people think they should be classified as their own type of creature rather than being lumped together with youkai. The name Ibaraki-Douji appears in many historical documents, and the name attached to this "arm" probably refers to the same being. More information might be gleaned by referring to those historical documents directly. If there is any instance of an oni named Ibaraki-Douji having their arm cut off, that should be enough to confirm the connection. The being who calls herself Ibaraki-Douji's Arm looks almost identical to Kasen Ibaraki. This is an undeniable fact. However, it still isn't exactly clear what their connection is... They could be identical twins considering how similar they look. One is a hermit who gathers faith in the Human Village, and the other is a malevolent oni. What is their true relationship?

Attacks

Kishin Shadow-Flame

Ibaraki-Douji's Arm's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She wields shadow-flame in this attack. Shadow-flame, or "inka," is a type of onibi, a mysterious light that appears near graveyards at night. It may look like oni leave themselves wide open when they attack, but if they hit, their opponents will surely meet a tragic end.

Bullets
  • Shadow-Flame
  • Wataribishaku
  • Asobibi
  • Igebo
  • Sarakazoe
  • Will-O'-The-Wisp
Modoribashi's Abutment

Ibaraki-Douji's Arm's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She hurls a stone pillar at her opponent. Her incredible strength is displayed as she crushes stone with her bare hands. However, this is a simple task for someone who possesses the superhuman might of an oni. That's why the oni exterminators of old preferred to use tricks and exploit the oni's weaknesses rather than face them head-on.

Bullets
  • Modoribashi's Abutment - Near End
  • 1st Lost Pier
  • 2nd Lost Pier
  • 3rd Lost Pier
  • 4th Lost Pier
  • Modoribashi's Abutment - Far End
Oni Sign: Rajoumon Corpse Pile

Ibaraki-Douji's Arm's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). She rains down the skulls of her servants upon her opponents. According to Ibaraki-Douji's Arm, the corpses that lie in Avici, the Hell of unending suffering, are her servants, and they came from all the people she devoured. It isn't known whether she just said this to intimidate her opponent or whether it is actually true. Regardless, this tale is reminiscent of the kishin who torment souls in Hell.

Bullets
  • Rajoumon's Resentment
  • Rajoumon's Skeleton
  • Rajoumon's Enmity
  • Rajoumon's Oni Aura
  • Rajoumon's Oni Resentment
  • Rajoumon's Oni Skeleton
Fake Big Four Arcanum: Annihilation in Three Steps

Ibaraki-Douji's Arm's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). She buries her opponent under several stone pillars. You could probably tell, but she doesn't even take one step, let alone three. The most notable oni in Gensokyo are Suika Ibuki and Yuugi Hoshiguma. According to Suika, Yuugi is more physically strong, whereas Suika is more skilled with youjutsu (or, more specifically, kijutsu, since she is an oni). Ibaraki-Douji's Arm seems to be rather skilled at both, so perhaps she prefers to use a balanced fighting style that combines both physical strength and youjutsu.

Bullets
  • Stone Pillar
  • Big Stone Pillar
  • Giant Stone Pillar
  • Colossal Stone Pillar
  • Oni Stone Pillar
  • Kishin Stone Pillar
Higekiri to Onikirimaru

Ibaraki-Douji's Arm's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She reveals her nature as the lost arm of an oni. There are tales of how the warrior, Watanabe no Tsuna, once cut off an oni's arm, and if she is truly that same arm, then she must possess an insatiable thirst for vengeance. However, while her power is utterly malevolent, there seems to be something missing. It's as if she contains all the wickedness possessed by the oni known as Ibaraki-Douji condensed into a smaller form. What could this possibly mean? And if she's just the arm, where is the rest of Ibaraki-Douji...?

Bullets
  • Higekiri Slash
  • Onimaru Slash
  • Shishinoko Slash
  • Tomogiri Slash
  • Refined Onimaru Slash
  • Onikiri-Yasutsuna Slash
