The Spread Shot of Suwako Moriya, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She gathers the power of divine retribution as bullets. The history of Moriya Shrine's faith is extensive, and detailing its timeline is no easy task. However, looking at the Divine War's Native Myth, you can see that Suwa was always a region that valued technology. Across all ages, the side with the more advanced technology prevails in battle.

The Focus Shot of Suwako Moriya, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She gathers the power of divine retribution as armor-piercing shells. It's said that the Divine War was really a conflict between old and new methods of iron smithing. The old method, which used bog iron deposits and low-temperature furnaces, simply couldn't compete with the new method, which used iron sand from mines. Wisteria vines represent bamboo sieves used to extract iron sand, and iron rings represent ancient iron smithing.

A Spell Card of Suwako Moriya, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls her memories with Sanae. A people's descendants can be thought of as the heart of their respective era's civilization. No matter how advanced a civilization may be, it's meaningless without a new generation to inherit it. In a world where all civilizations exist under constant threat of annihilation, children are invaluable. After all, no one can live forever.

A Spell Card of Suwako Moriya, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls her memories with Kanako. By comparing ancient Japanese mythological records with the Native Myth, the difference in ways of thinking between those who lived in the central region and those who lived in the surrounding provinces becomes apparent. Kanako attaining power over Suwa is a prime example of how the relationship between the central government and the noble provincial families changed over time. In a way, it's as if Kanako was a strong career woman who came from the head office to be the rural branch's new boss. (Although looking at the myth, perhaps it's more accurate to say she was sent there after a demotion.)

The Last Word of Suwako Moriya, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls the beginnings of the Suwa region. The region was either established by Takeminakata no Kami or Suwa Daijin. Or by neither of them. Or by both of them. That's because, while Kanako had won the right to rule over Suwa, Suwako's help was necessary to gather faith. Kanako decided not to take faith by force, and Suwako decided not to cling to it out of pride. Instead, the two opted to work together. The god from the central region remained in Suwa, and the Native God began to accept and grow accustomed to her presence. The lines between myth and government rule blurred, and Suwa maintained its freedom to the point it could exist somewhat independently. A free mindset provides hope for the future, and Sanae Kochiya embodies that mindset.
