Character Information

Temperament: Aozora!
Aozora! (a Touhou LW original) refers to a beautiful, clear blue sky. Often seen in early spring, it is also called "souten." A cloudless sky can be a sign of a pure and honest heart, but it can also represent emptiness. This reflects Yukkuri Youmu's straightforward nature and her lack of independence. She is endowed with Metal Phase, associated with the two swords she always carries, and Star Essence, as one who follows the yukkuri overseer of 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 alluring and arrogant Sun Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of taking it easy
Yukkuri Youmu's ability (a Touhou LW original). The "capable of taking it easy" ability held by yukkuris incorporates a toned-down version of their Yukkuri Master's signature ability. This means Yukkuri Youmu is also capable of taking it easy at swordsmanship. One of the fundamental principles of swordsmanship is that the surest path to victory is to avoid fighting altogether. When an opponent yields without blades ever crossing, it ensures an unquestionable win. By definition, this is absolute victory. By fully mastering the art of taking it easy at swordsmanship, one's movements become almost completely still, allowing victory without ever moving the blade. Perhaps Youmu Konpaku's pursuit of such an ideal was inherited by Yukkuri Youmu.

Attacks

Yukkuri Phantom Slash

The Spread Shot of Yukkuri Youmu (a Touhou LW original). She approaches her enemy and slices them apart with her swords infused with Spirit Power. When her swords accidentally slip out from their sheaths and spin through the air, Yukkuri Youmu explains with total confidence that she's deliberately training to land hits with both the blades and the hilts.

Bullets
  • Whirling Hakurouken
  • Whirling Roukanken
  • Slipped Sword
  • Whirling Sword Hilt
  • Whirling Sword Guard
  • Dual-Sword Pruning Helmet Split
Yukkuri Delay

The Focus Shot of Yukkuri Youmu (a Touhou LW original). Fighting without her swords, she relies entirely on martial arts and goes for a high kick. The strike is meant to be razor-sharp, shaving her opponent's hair as it hits their face, but since a yukkuri has no legs, she can't actually kick and ends up using a clumsy body slam to save face.

Bullets
  • Legless Kick
  • Improvised Chin Kick
  • Improvised Cheek Kick
  • Slow Dropkick
  • Razor Summer Slash
  • Slow Fan Duty
Easy Sign: Sudden Divine Severing of Karmic Wind

A Spell Card of Yukkuri Youmu (a Touhou LW original). A difficult-to-dodge coordinated attack formed by bullets from her phantom half intertwining with sharp sword slashes. Unfortunately, her lack of coordination with her phantom half leaves the attack feeling less sudden than she hoped.

Bullets
  • Karmic Wind Bullet
  • Divine Slash
  • Rolling Spirit Bullet
  • Spirit Raising Mighty Sword
  • Roukanken Shining in Coordination
  • Hakurouken Neighing in Coordination
Easy Sign: Slash of Saigyou Spring Wind

A Spell Card of Yukkuri Youmu (a Touhou LW original). An attack that blends the gentle warmth of a spring breeze with the momentum of the season's first strong winds. The hint of spring lulls the opponent into letting their guard down, only for her human and phantom halves to ride the spring winds back and forth and sandwich them in an uncharacteristically surprising attack that oddly leaves them feeling at ease.

Bullets
  • Gentle Spring Breeze
  • Surging Spring Breeze
  • Wave-Riding Half-Phantom
  • Wave-Riding Half-Orb
  • Calm Single Slash
  • Fun Twin-Orb Sword Dance
Yukkuri-Reflecting Satellite Slash

The Last Word of Yukkuri Youmu (a Touhou LW original). A delayed unconventional slash, unlike any of the techniques Youmu Konpaku uses. The slashes meant to trap the enemy instead twist and tangle, under an unknown force. Like a cat's cradle made of blades, they end up trapping their own wielder in a spectacle born from the Moon's reflected madness.

Bullets
  • Reflective Satellite Slash
  • Slow Awaiting-Night Flash
  • Tightly Wound Cat's Cradle String
  • Satellite Orbit Form
  • Mad Wavelength Trace
  • Split Trajectory

Skills

Skill: Dual Blade Rend

With yukkuri-sized Roukanken and Hakurouken, Yukkuri Youmu can cut just about anything. She's not nearly as dexterous as Youmu, though, so cutting things cleanly is difficult, and they usually end up shredded to pieces instead.

Skill: Calm and Serene

She believes that improving her skills requires casting away all stray thoughts. She concentrates so hard on doing so that she fails to notice she's missed the point entirely.

Skill: Yukkuri Full Course

A full course prepared by yukkuris, complete with a main dish, side dishes, and dessert. The delicious memories stay behind forever, continuing to exist as lingering spirits and concepts.

Passive: Round Swordswoman
Passive: Tiny Hakurouken
Passive: Tiny Roukanken
