Youmu Konpaku's usual outfit. It features a turquoise vest and skirt.
Shivering Maid Samurai
Youmu somehow ended up working as a maid at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Sakuya lent her a maid uniform.
Misfortune-Warding Gardener
Youmu Konpaku's furisode for the New Year. She wishes good fortune for both herself and Lady Yuyuko.
Bunny Ninja Spirit

White Gardener of the Netherworld Tower
Youmu's Fantasy Rebirth outfit. It was fashioned at Kourindou based on information in the journal.
Guest of Honor at the Party
Youmu's outfit for a special party. She keeps warm because both her halves have matching scarves.

I'm Youmu Konpaku. I work as a fencing instructor and gardener at Hakugyokurou in the Netherworld. I'm a half-human half-phantom, but people also say I'm half-baked.
Introduction
I'm Youmu Konpaku. I work as a fencing instructor and gardener at Hakugyokurou in the Netherworld. I'm a half-human half-phantom, and people say I'm half-baked, but I train daily so that I can get better at gardening and swordsmanship. Lady Yuyuko has told me to help you, so I'll do whatever you need me to. With my youkai-forged Roukanken and my ancestral Hakurouken, I can cut practically anything!
Purple Heart
Resolving incidents with you is part of my training, or so I'm told.
Blue Heart
I'll sweep out anybody who gets in my way―just like how I prune my bushes!
Green Heart
If you want to learn the way of the sword, I'll teach you. Even if I'm in training, I'm still a fencing instructor, and teaching is a great way to train too!
Orange Heart
I might be in training, but I can still help you resolve this incident. The progress is slow, but it feels rewarding helping out like this! I hear it's possible to cut through to the truth with a sword, so I'll keep cutting!
Pink Heart
I don't think there's an incident out there that we can't deal with together! I hope you'll rely on me and my sword more, since I believe in your strength and rely on you a lot too!
Autumn
I'll have to make rice dumplings for the moon viewing soon. Would you like me to make some for you too? I'll make them nice and round!
Login
You're always so hard at work. What are your plans for today? I'll be tending the garden, training with the sword, shopping for food, and helping you. It's a full schedule!
Enhancement
This is a result of my daily training. I can't wait to test my blade!
Return
I'm back! I need to report to Lady Yuyuko too.
Home 1
I never fail to do my training or my duties for Lady Yuyuko. I will properly assist you in resolving the incident as well, of course.
Home 2
I'm preparing tea for Lady Yuyuko right now. Would you like some too? There's not much difference between preparing tea for one and preparing tea for two.
Home 3
Forty-five... Forty-six... I just started practicing my swings, so please come back again later! Now, where was I? One... Two... Three!
Reaction 1
Oh no... I accidentally cut the wrong branch...
Reaction 2
Don't come near me when I'm training with my sword! It's dangerous!
Reaction 3
Oh, was Lady Yuyuko looking for me?
Task
Doing tasks counts as training too! We have to be diligent every day!
Task Complete
Well done! You finished your task. Doing things little by little... That's the key!
Mail
Somebody sent you some mail. You should take a look―the sooner, the better.
Errand Finished
It looks like somebody's back from an errand! I'm curious to see their results.
Start of Battle
I will cut, cut, and cut some more until a path is open for us!
Mid-Wave
I will cut down all comers! I'll even go and cut any opponents that won't come to me!
Victory
Phew... My training has borne fruit. OK, let's continue on!
Defeat
Ugh, I mustn't have trained hard enough... There's still much more I need to improve on.

Character Information
Temperament: Souten
Souten refers to azure blue skies as well as spring skies. While Youmu is sometimes called half-baked, she still aims to be a full-fledged swordswoman, and that refreshing energy of hers is reflected in this temperament. Youmu is endowed with Metal Phase, used in both swordsmanship and gardening, and Star Essence, as somebody who serves the ghost overseeing the Netherworld.
The cold and silent Metal Phase resists Earth Phase, because earth bears metal, but it is weak to Fire Phase, because fire refines metal.
The diverse and uncooperative Star Essence resists the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence, but it is weak to the charming and arrogant Sun Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of sword fighting
While the ability may seem to simply explain Youmu's skill with the sword, it also shows her potential. Those around her tend to call her inexperienced, and her appearance does make her seem young, but if she were to go up against a regular human, she would be considered an expert with the sword. She follows the teachings of her fencing instructor and ancestor and trains daily (to the point that she eventually learns how to cut time itself). Her two swords also give her strength. Her long sword, the Roukanken, was forged by youkai, and her shorter sword, the Hakurouken, can sever lingering attachments and the cycle of rebirth. There isn't much that she can't cut.
Attacks
Sword Aura
Youmu Konpaku's Spread Shot. She lets her sword aura fly at her target in this bullet hell attack. Sword aura refers to the spirit a sword wielder lets out, but Youmu actually uses that aura itself to attack.

Lotus Posture Slash
Youmu Konpaku's Focus Shot. This bullet hell attack features her two swords swinging down in a cross, glinting as they hit their target. The distinctive name comes from a Buddhist term, as do the names of some of Youmu's other attacks.

Hakurouken Lower Slash
Roukanken Upper Slash

Life-Cutting Sword: Slash of Nether Meditation
Youmu Konpaku's Spell Card. It is a simple attack—Youmu uses her long sword, the Roukanken, to cut her target. The Spell Card looks as dangerous as it sounds, and Youmu's opponents are helpless against it.
Bullets
Full-Strength Sever
Meditative Sever
Full-Strength Life Sever

Human Oni: Slash of Eternal Future
Youmu Konpaku's Spell Card. It slashes in all directions and cuts through both the living and the dead. Since Youmu isn't using her shorter sword, the Hakurouken, this attack won't be sending any of the people she cut to nirvana.
Bullets
Eternity Cut
Mortality Cut

Matsuyoi-Reflecting Satellite Slash
Youmu Konpaku's Last Word. An incredible slash attack that activates with a delay. It seems to use the power of the matsuyoi moon, which appears on the night before the harvest moon. Perhaps what we see is actually the reflection of the attack coming back down after reaching the moon... That might sound unbelievable, but this is Youmu. She could do it.

Skills
Skill: Dual-Wielding Technique
With her two swords, the Roukanken and the Hakurouken, she faces her opponent, though sometimes that opponent is just a tree in the garden.
Skill: Result of Training
The teachings of Youmu's master are too strict for normal humans, but Youmu's lifespan is longer so she should be able to reach her master's level one day.
Skill: Clear Mirror, Still Water
To raise your skill, you need to rid yourself of evil thoughts, but the more unclouded the mind is, the more susceptible it is to influence.
