Gacha Pickup
I am the mistress of Hakugyokurou and host of the Arena, Yuyuko Saigyouji. I am delighted to make your acquaintance.
Introduction
My name is Yuyuko Saigyouji. I am the mistress of Hakugyokurou and the host of the Arena―the stage of death. I am delighted to make your acquaintance. Hehe. ...Now, I must prepare a meal for all the competitors that will soon arrive. What? You wish to help me? Thank you. I can barely hold a single large plate on my own.
Purple Heart
Oof... There we go. How many plates are left?!
Blue Heart
There are many types of plates, with each catering to a different kind of dish and requiring a different method to carry and stack.
Green Heart
Plates are like the tiny stages for cuisine. That is why I take great care with the food presentation. It will be that cuisine's ultimate performance, after all.
Orange Heart
Thanks to all your help, my food is a big hit with the competitors. ...What? It's because I'm a good chef, you say? No, that is most definitely not the case. However, I am fairly confident in my knife skills.
Pink Heart
All of the food in the Netherworld comes from phantoms. There are phantom fish, vegetables, meat, and even eggs. It is not possible to prepare them by just cutting willy-nilly with a kitchen knife. The way you must cut them is vital. ...Is something the matter?
Summer
Lamprey are tasty, but eel is also delicious in summer. I, of course, know how to prepare and cook it. I recommend cooking eel in a shirayaki style without any sauce or seasoning!
Login
Oh, so that's why the plates got lighter all of a sudden! Thank you. I still have much more to serve, so please help me out once again today!
Enhancement
I can now cook even tastier dishes!
Return
I'm sure everyone must be famished after that intense battle of bullets!
Home 1
Youmu doesn't speak much, but you can tell what she is thinking by looking at her eyes. She is very kind and is always concerned about the welfare of others.
Home 2
I am most skilled at preparing sashimi. I've been told that my sashimi dishes taste so delicious and fresh―like the fish is still alive, which is kind of odd since I use phantoms.
Home 3
I am proficient in all forms of Japanese cuisine, but I would like to try cooking something different. I'm considering visiting the Scarlet Devil Mansion to learn, do you think that's a good idea?
Reaction 1
I cannot reach the shelf. Can you pick me up?
Reaction 2
I can't plate the dish if you don't lower the plate!
Reaction 3
OK, open wide... How does it taste?
Task
Is that a task? ...Th-This looks really difficult!
Task Complete
Did you really finish the task?! But it looked so difficult...!
Mail
Some mail came for you, so I'll leave it here, OK?
Errand Finished
It seems someone's back from an errand. I hope they bought some eggs on the way back.
Start of Battle
This chef of Japanese cuisine will cook something up!
Mid-Wave
Umm, where are the plates?!
Victory
Moving about so much must have worked up a hunger, no? Let's return home and have a feast!
Defeat
This wouldn't have happened if I fed everyone more food...

Character Information
Temperament: Tenka
Tenka (a Touhou LW original) refers to flowers that are said to bloom in the heavens, and it is also another word for snow. Perhaps this temperament is related to how Yuyuko loves the flowers that bloom in the land of the dead? Because of this Yuyuko's peculiar circumstances, her Phase and Essence endowments are completely different from the usual.
She is resistant to the Phases and Essences of continual change, being Moon Essence (periodic change), Star Essence (irregular change), Fire Phase (the cycle of gas), and Water Phase (the cycle of liquid) as her roots are firmly entrenched deep into the land of the dead.
Conversely, she is weak to Earth Phase (earthquakes) and Metal Phase (uprooting) because they cut roots.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating death?
This version of Yuyuko's ability was most likely the same as our version of Yuyuko's ability, but as her world changed, so did her ability. However, it is still not known what exactly has changed about it. It is said that the Yuyuko of our world experienced a change in her ability in the past. However, since Yuyuko herself does not have any clear memories of her past, there is no confirmation of this.
In any case, there has been no indication of her misusing this dreadfully powerful ability. This Yuyuko hasn't misused her ability either... probably. Our Yuyuko uses this ability to guide phantoms and safeguard them until they reincarnate. This Yuyuko surely uses her ability in the same manner... hopefully.
Attacks
Reverse Screen
Yuyuko Saigyouji (Tiny Ghost Mistress)'s Spread Shot. This attack is a special dance where she flips up and backward in the air. This is evocative of a folding screen that is placed upside down next to the bedside of the deceased. They are placed as such as part of a practice called sakasa-goto, a part of Japanese funeral rites, where everyday objects and customs are inverted to symbolize that it is not an everyday occasion. It is said that sakasa-goto is also a ritual to isolate the realm of the dead from the world of the living.
