Youmu Konpaku (Lunar War Gardener)'s Spread Shot. Her phantom half attacks with artificial sword strikes. The Phantom Half Bit's volume is restricted during battles in order to conserve Natural Force energy. However, it returns to its usual size when attacking, like during this Shot. This attack displays the true specs of Youmu's other half.
Youmu Konpaku (Lunar War Gardener)'s Focus Shot. She attacks by unleashing slash bullets from her two swords powered by Natural Force. The Netherworld where this Youmu used to live is a place of rest for souls and is connected to not only the hellish realm but all Six Realms. The Six Realms, also known as Samsara, consist of the heavenly realm, human realm, demi-god realm, animal realm, hungry ghost realm, and the hellish realm. Thus, Youmu may have had the opportunity to learn from various beings... Though phantoms, which are the main ones who pass through the Netherworld, cannot talk.
Youmu Konpaku (Lunar War Gardener)'s Spell Card. She strikes with a beautiful slash that scatters cherry blossom petals. The falling of cherry blossom petals is seen as a metaphor for death, but it was originally used as a metaphor to signify mourning for those who died. Youmu apparently came up with the idea for this Spell Card while pruning plants. There is a reason why her code name is Gardener.
Youmu Konpaku (Lunar War Gardener)'s Spell Card. She unleashes such a fast flurry of sword strikes that it looks like she is painting a circle of light. The word for the center of a circle in Japanese is enshin (made up of the characters for circle and heart), and it also means a heart searching for Nirvana. Maybe Youmu will find her Nirvana through mastering the way of the sword... Perhaps her grandfather has an opinion on the matter.
Youmu Konpaku (Lunar War Gardener)'s Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She uses her two artificial spirit power beam swords that consist of concentrated Natural Force energized to the utmost limit. For some reason, it looks like Youmu bears the weight of the setting sun on her shoulders in this attack. When her two swords' output is at max, they become charged with cherry blossom-colored qi and can even cut waves that are not visible to the naked eye. This is called Wave Cutting Mode. In other words, they're super powerful beam swords.
