I am Sagume Kishin... a Lunar Sage... There are personal reasons as to why I cannot say anything more.
Introduction
I am... Sagume Kishin. My ability causes the words I speak to alter the course of the future. I mustn't talk without due cause... [So please allow me to communicate in writing. I have heard about you from Lady Yagokoro and the Watatsuki sisters. My ability may help resolve this incident, so I have decided to work closely with you for the time being.]
Purple Heart
[Not even Lunarians are all-powerful. So do not become overconfident.]
Blue Heart
[I doubt anyone could have foreseen that an incident of this scale would occur.]
Green Heart
[It is only thanks to Lady Yagokoro's medicine that the Lunarians are able to accomplish their secret visits to the Earth. Yes, it is a side effect of the Ultramarine Orb Elixir.]
Orange Heart
[You are arrogant. Because deep down, you are certain that your actions can change the course of events. However, it is not as if there is no precedent for this. The way people think differs from person to person, and thus the outcome they attain also differs.]
Pink Heart
[I am incredibly curious to see what altered future you will attain. You are like a skewer piercing through Gensokyo, the Lunar Capital, and the Dream World―trying to change every world you touch. Time will tell whether such audacity will go unpunished or not.]
Summer
[The season where life flourishes. So this is what heat is... It is intense and really makes me want to go and take a swim!]
Login
I require your assistance once more. As you know, I cannot speak much... [So I will use this. My message board's text-to-speech is functioning superbly.]
Enhancement
I have successfully gained more power by utilizing the materials available down here... I appreciate your assistance.
Return
[Let us conduct a debriefing session on that last battle of bullets. Please assemble.]
Home 1
[It seems that the Watatsuki sisters also frequently descend down to the earth. Those two are students of Lady Yagokoro, so they are knowledgeable and cunning. I am sure they have their reasons for coming here.]
Home 2
[Junko? No, there is no way that world-destroying monster is here... Hecatia?! I see, so this is what the sages of Gensokyo were talking about.]
Home 3
[Although we are back on good terms now, I caused a lot of trouble for Doremy in the past. Only... I didn't expect Ringo and Seiran to start dango businesses on the Earth.]
Reaction 1
...No. I am too scared of saying something I shouldn't.
Reaction 2
[I'll use this if you wish to converse.]
Reaction 3
Oh... That's the Reisen from Lady Yagokoro's.
Task
You have a task... I'll keep silent, OK...
Task Complete
You finished your task. Well done... That was very impressive.
Mail
You have mail... Yes. Mail.
Errand Finished
Look, someone's returned from an errand...!
Start of Battle
Mm... Mhmmmm!
Mid-Wave
Mhm! Mhhmm!
Victory
Victory. It has been decided and will no longer change.
Defeat
It seems we had insufficient strength...

Character Information
Temperament: Sakazuki
Sakazuki (a Touhou LW original) refers to the dish used to drink sake and the reflection of the moon in this dish when it has sake in it. Also, when the two Japanese characters for sakazuki are combined into a single character, it forms a new word which means to go against the current. This is a fitting temperament for Sagume with her ability to reverse fate. Sagume is endowed with Earth Phase, and Moon Essence, two conflicting elements that maintain a balance within her.
The encompassing and regenerative Earth Phase resists Fire Phase, because fire produces earth, but it is weak to Wood Phase, because wood parts earth.
The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of reversing a situation with her words
Sagume's ability is incredibly perplexing and powerful. The power of the Lunarians is on par with gods, so perhaps it is fitting that Sagume can manipulate fate with mere words. However, the mechanics of this ability are extremely difficult to comprehend, which is probably why Sagume takes great care to avoid saying anything unnecessary.
The following are aspects of Sagume's ability that have been observed and are understood.
- Her ability appears to get triggered whenever Sagume talks about some kind of matter or event.
- Only fates that have not yet come to pass are reversed. The past cannot be changed.
- Her ability does not cause the reverse of what she said to occur. It causes the reverse of the event that was going to happen to take place instead. However, if she correctly says a prediction of what will happen, it may look like the reverse of what she said occurred.
- Judging by the results of her ability, it can be assumed that it is not only the good and bad that are reversed―everything is.
When Eirin still lived on the moon, she taught Toyohime quantum mechanics. According to quantum principles, the future is defined by a probability distribution of different possible outcomes. So perhaps Sagume's ability to reverse the future is, in fact, inverting these probability distributions...
Attacks
Taboo Words
Sagume Kishin's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She shoots out ofuda with taboo words written on them. These taboo words are ominous words that cause disasters to occur when spoken. It seems that Sagume takes great care not to speak any words in vain because of her ability.
Bullets
Taboo Word Ofuda
Taboo Card
Naming Taboo Ofuda
Forbidden Ofuda
Vengeance Ofuda
Prohibited Word Card
Naval Mine Yin-Yang Orbs
Sagume Kishin's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She shoots out yin-yang orbs directly into her target. These yin-yang orbs are similar in appearance to the ones utilized by Reimu. Sagume's use of these orbs that feature yin and yang's duality and interconnection hint at her dual nature.

Orb Sign: Disorderly Flock's Duplex Curse
Sagume Kishin's Spell Card. Yin-yang orbs shoot out a barrage of ofuda bullets. A disorderly flock is a flock that lacks cohesion, like a murder of crows. However, this Spell Card is so precise that it is beautiful. According to a certain individual, this Spell Card is "incredibly cool."

Arrow of Evil-Slaying
Sagume Kishin's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). An arrow pierces through the shadow of a pheasant in flight, causing countless arrows to rain down from the heavens. In Japanese mythology, a goddess named Ame no Sagume asked Ame no Wakahiko to shoot a pheasant called Nakime, an envoy of the gods, incurring divine punishment upon Ame no Wakahiko. This Spell Card is probably based on this story, but it is unclear whether there is any connection between Sagume and this goddess. Incidentally, Nakime was an envoy of the god, Omokane, whom Yorihime summons when using one of her skills.
