The Spread Shot of Zanmu Nippaku from the world delirious with eternal spring (a Touhou LW original). Without hesitation, she unleashes an old sword technique she had sworn never to use again. Zanmu insists that her blade has no name, but it might have had a name in the past. It could be one of the two famous swords that were given as offerings to Hakone Shrine.

The Focus Shot of Zanmu Nippaku from the world delirious with eternal spring (a Touhou LW original). She regretfully uses an old sword technique from an age of meaningless wars. What would it have been like to travel alongside a great military leader who fled from the capital? It would probably be much more arduous and stressful than the stories let on. Then again, it might still be fun, at least until the final battle.

A Spell Card of Zanmu Nippaku from the world delirious with eternal spring (a Touhou LW original). She recreates a Hell full of pure spirits in this attack. It might be hard to imagine that a Buddhist monk would ever serve under a military leader, but things were different back in the Sengoku era. It was a time when monks were expected to take up arms to defend the teachings of their temple. Temples were also the first places to receive knowledge about and implement the latest Chinese technological innovations, making them formidable bastions of military might.

A Spell Card of Zanmu Nippaku from the world delirious with eternal spring (a Touhou LW original). She preaches the futility and worthlessness of academic life in this attack. Many esoteric Buddhist schools incorporated aspects of mountain worship in their training regimes. Students would spend each day training not only their mind and spirit, but also their martial skills. For Buddhists, fighting and killing are taboo. However, they were willing to break this taboo to protect the Buddha's teachings... Zanmu no longer sees any value in the training she undertook as a monk or a warrior, even if the things she learned might help her as a discipline officer.

The Last Word of Zanmu Nippaku from the world delirious with eternal spring (a Touhou LW original). An attack that combines a greenhouse, a sword, and a fantastical fragrance. Zanmu thinks of the academy as a kind of greenhouse. It is not the strong or smart plants that survive, but the plants that adapt. And the same goes for students. However, she believes this should be taken a step further, and that the academy should be a kind of conservatory for all the world's seeds. This idea was probably subconsciously inspired by her experiences long ago, back when she was venerated as a hermit. After absorbing spirits, Zanmu almost became a sagacious spirit, and at that moment, she intuitively realized that the teachings of Taoism are similar to the rules that govern plants. Compared to the lives of most organisms, the growth of a seed into a tree is imperceptibly slow, like how the vast universe changes so slowly that the stars appear static in the night sky. A tree's wood is porous, and its branches and roots spread like a net because they reflect its memories. There are gaps in its memories from its time as a seed. Evolutionary trees are basically the same. "Lady Zanmu, quit thinking about all that difficult stuff and come try some of these bamboo shoots. They're in season!" "Aren't they always in season?"
