Character Information

Temperament: Tenmou
Tenmou (a Touhou LW original) refers to an invisible net across the land and sky that no evil can escape. This is an apt temperament for this world's Yamame since she's a kaiju. Yamame's temperament was specifically designed to combat the Capital (Moon Essence) and the rebels (Earth Phase).
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating illness (mainly infectious disease) (Mutated)
The ability of Yamame Kurodani, the kaiju (a Touhou LW original). Compared to the original Yamame Kurodani, something unusual has happened to her ability. "Capable of making people lose the will to fight back" is Yachie Kicchou's ability, and Yachie is a jidiao, a mythical beast that can turn things into superfluids. This is why jidiao fat cannot be contained in a metal container without it spilling out. Yamame uses this ability to control the flow of electricity. Humans of the outside world seem to think that electricity is a physical phenomenon caused by particles known as electrons, and while they aren't exactly wrong, there is another explanation. Electricity is a type of temperament. People seem to think that electricity is something new, but it has long existed as the temperament of lightning, and it affects not just the physical world but the spiritual. It is generated by raijuu and can potentially bring disease and calamity or, if you're lucky, bountiful harvests. It's essentially a type of temperament that influences other temperaments, producing almost instantaneous effects. This is a property it shares with miasma, the temperament of poison and disease. Both miasma and electricity can flow through things with little resistance. They're basically the same thing. For example, it is believed that the body moves thanks to electricity, but this can also be explained by toxic internal secretions (hormones). Similarly, humans believe that the effects of poison result from chemical reactions, which are controlled by electrically charged particles. The Mark 2 kaiju expend a lot of electricity, and the one who supplies it to them is Yamame Kurodani, the behind-the-scenes kaiju idol beloved by all.

Attacks

Electric Wire

The Spread Shot of Yamame Kurodani, the kaiju (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with electrically charged spider silk. As a kaiju and an idol, Yamame's day starts bright and early.Well, "early" is relative when you work around the clock. Regardless, she works tirelessly with her fellow Mark 2s to ensure everything runs smoothly. Her most pressing task is connecting Oomukade's newly discovered tourmaline deposits to their existing infrastructure.

Bullets
  • Charged Spider Silk
  • Big Spider Silk
  • Great Spider Silk
  • Electric Spider Silk
  • Super Spider Silk
  • Ultimate Spider Silk
Electromagnetic Net

The Focus Shot of Yamame Kurodani, the kaiju (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with an electrically charged net. Yamame can manipulate electricity by interpreting electrons as particles in the air, like a miasma that spreads contagious diseases. This makes a certain kind of sense because, similar to a person's state of health, a material's electronic state is determined by its chemical properties. However, since this is so abstract, it requires a great degree of focus to achieve anything with the electricity she manipulates. She is only able to maintain this focus because she has a clearly defined role in this world: transmitting electricity. She must be very grateful to the professor who gave it to her.

Bullets
  • Charged Spider Web
  • Big Spider Web
  • Great Spider Web
  • Electric Spider Web
  • Super Spider Web
  • Ultimate Spider Web
Poison Water: Unsanitary Rain

A Spell Card of Yamame Kurodani, the kaiju. She attacks with impure rain. All Mark 2 kaiju use electricity. This indicates that the Capital must have relied heavily on electricity in the past. To subjugate so many parallel worlds, they needed quantum levels of control. In other words, a way to filter through possibilities and choose the fate they desired. This requires a vast, continuous supply of energy. It seems electricity fit the bill nicely during the transition period while they were still growing their empire. Nowadays, however, the Capital has found a new source of energy, and the kaiju are out of a job.

Bullets
  • Infectious Rain
  • Heavy Infectious Rain
  • Scary Infectious Rain
  • Dark Infectious Rain
  • Torrential Infectious Rain
  • Ultimate Infectious Rain
Poison Spider: Venom Web

A Spell Card of Yamame Kurodani, the kaiju. She attacks with a web coated in spider venom. The Capital's electricity network was designed to be nearly superconducting, transmitting and receiving electricity with as little resistance as possible. This lets Yamame use the network as a massive electrical radar. It's a spider's web spread across the land and sky that nothing can escape. She can sense and locate any electromagnetic disturbance, even if she doesn't know the cause. Yamame has recently begun to sense a disturbance of an unprecedented scale. Perhaps she would have preferred not to know about it, but she had no choice. The information was fed directly into her mind.

Bullets
  • Venom Web
  • Venom Web II
  • Venom Web III
  • Venom Web IV
  • Venom Web V
  • Venom Web VI
Chimerarachne yingi

The Last Word of Yamame Kurodani, the kaiju (a Touhou LW original). She recalls the memory of a prehistoric beast. Yamame has memories of being an outcast and being reviled as a spreader of disease. These memories are data, but not just any data. They are a signal, arranged linearly and sequentially along the time axis. They flashed before her eyes like a phantasmagoria, but strangely, they didn't make her feel angry or sad. If anything, they made her feel at peace. Homesickness? Is that what she was feeling? When she realized this, it made her think of the professor's stories―her stories of Kaiju Island.

Bullets
  • Lost Chelicerata
  • Class Arachnida
  • Order Chimerarachnida
  • Family Chimerarachnidae
  • Genus Chimerarachne
  • Species yingi

Skills

Skill: Electric Ropeway

She can charge up on electricity as she zooms through the air. It's kind of like a model railway.

Skill: Underground Grid

The railroad network becomes a power grid. This, in turn, becomes a communication network.

Skill: Insulated Pincers

Messing with the flow of electricity without proper insulation is just asking for trouble. With these pincers, electricity is hers to command.

Passive: Transmission Tech
Passive: Electromagnetic Miasma
Passive: Cable Contagion
