The Spread Shot of Hina Kagiyama from the world delirious with cheer (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with the spinning power of misfortune. Hina Kagiyama is a misfortune god. Misfortune gods gather misfortune from humans and return it to the gods in Heaven. Unlike most gods, they don't want to be worshipped directly. They are much like youkai in this regard. The misfortune that Hina gathers is not simply bad luck. It is, in essence, temperament used by the gods to control fortunes both good and bad. Misfortune does not exist in a vacuum. It is part of the cycle of temperament. And Hina spins because of her connection to this cycle! At least, that's what it says in her Genso-Rig's manual. Unfortunately, this doesn't really explain how a drill can be made out of laser beams.

The Focus Shot of Hina Kagiyama from the world delirious with cheer (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with the power of distilled misfortune. The universe consists of three layers: the physical, mental, and memory layers. Misfortune is a mental concept, not a physical thing, so misfortune temperament has a much greater influence over the mental layer. Physically, good and bad luck are nothing more than possible outcomes, defined by probabilities. But mentally, your luck is prescribed by fate, and by exorcising bad luck, you can transfer it to other things, people, or places. If a god of fate exists, they probably judge humanity's faith in them by sending misfortune temperament down to Earth. This misfortune is absorbed by humans, and the god tests them by seeing how many exorcise it and return it to them instead of forcing it on others. In this way, the misfortune acts as a kind of token.

If a god of fate does exist, it would be the misfortune god's job to return the misfortune tokens that originally belonged to them. The mental impetus to return to the god lies within the misfortune tokens (i.e., the misfortune temperament), so it should be possible to convert their flow, their movement, into another kind of energy. The Genso-Rig Vortex is powered, in part, by this. More specifically, it powers Vortex's Nagashibina Drones. There is a very good reason why Vortex isn't solely reliant on this energy, and why other rigs don't utilize the same technology. Similar to a gravitational slingshot, it might seem like the rig can borrow an almost unlimited amount of energy, but in truth, it is stealing this energy from the god of fate. If it steals too much, too quickly, the god will surely notice.

By utilizing the cycle of misfortune, Nitori and Hina developed technology that converts the energy in temperament into other kinds of energy. The tanks attached to Vortex's skirt both store and purify misfortune, and it was only by storing misfortune that they were able to study it and understand its mechanisms. Eventually, they developed a theory that enabled them to control pure temperament. All the energy engineering that led to the creation of Genso-Rigs began with Nitori and Hina studying misfortune to better help Hina fulfill her duty as a misfortune god.

The Last Word of Hina Kagiyama from the world delirious with cheer (a Touhou LW original). She displays the true capabilities of her Genso-Rig in this attack. Vortex's model designation is YKPM-039. The Y stands for Prototype, K for Kappa Heavy Industries, and PM for Phantasm Machine. The 039 is Hina's identification number. Hina acts as Vortex's core, providing cheer (a fundamental temperament of the universe) to power its magical engine. More cheer equals more power, so Hina wears a cheerleader outfit while she pilots it. Vortex's main weapons are the four Nagashibina Drones housed in the "skirt." They can be deployed to attack enemies from all directions. The idea to design the rig with detachable parts that could move independently was inspired by doguu, ancient clay effigies that were a precursor to nagashibina. It is believed that parts of a doguu were destroyed to cleanse its owner of misfortune. Vortex's main body, which connects all the various parts together, looks a bit like an oversized skirt and hovers a set distance behind Hina, never touching the ground. Hina's boots are also meant solely for aerial combat and were designed with the idea that if Hina wanted to land, she would have to exit the rig. Another powerful weapon in Vortex's arsenal is its conical helix laser beam, or Drill Beam, which utilizes the spinning power of misfortune. Somehow, Hina can use her rig's excess energy to create a drill far bigger than its specs should allow.
