The Spread Shot of Sanae Kochiya from the world of iron and steam. She blows a strong wind toward her foes. Moriya Shrine has control over the wind. As the wind blows, it brings rain. That rain helps trees grow and fills the rivers and lakes with water. Those trees and water are then used to extract metal from various ores. Everything begins with wind.
The Focus Shot of Sanae Kochiya from the world of iron and steam. She creates a strong gust of wind in this attack. Moriya Shrine has control over the wind. Giant robots and locomotives are both powered by steam engines. Since steam is vaporized water, steam engines are devices that replicate the flow and force of the wind. The great power they create is simply a replication of the gods' power.
A Spell Card of Sanae Kochiya from the world of iron and steam. She recreates the legendary divine wind. At times, wind can be a blessing, and at others, a force of pure destruction. The god of Moriya Shrine has long been said to be a god of wind. According to the legends, in times of crisis, they transform into a dragon and summon a great wind to shatter their foes. This world's wind is nothing more than upward currents of air caused by the steam from hot springs. Even still, this wind forms an important flow of qi that facilitates the circle of life.
A Spell Card of Sanae Kochiya from the world of iron and steam. She sucks in youkai power in this attack. Most of this world's youkai live in and around the hot spring town and support its economy. The tengu have their information-based society, the kappa have their technology-based society, and it's said there are even youkai like hashihime, who take on the unique role of fulfilling the work of shrine maidens. Meanwhile, the gods, who are now known as neo-humans, live in the mysterious region of Hidden Moriya, where they work to support the foundations of industry. You might think that in this world, youkai exterminators don't exist, but that's not the case... Anyone who uses youkai power in a way that goes against the oni's wishes gets punished. Apparently, it's the neo-humans who carry out this punishment.
The Last Word of Sanae Kochiya from the world of iron and steam (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a robot imbued with her dreams and fantasies. That said, the robot, known as YHT-05-1 Hisoutensoku, is still very much a prototype. Sanae wants the final model to have an in-built nuclear fusion furnace, as well as be able to walk on two feet, act independently, and receive orders from afar. However, it'll be a long time before such a robot is complete. It will be complete someday, though. Luckily, the current prototype is far from useless. It may not have its own thoughts, but it can coordinate its attacks with Sanae's bullets. Hisoutensoku is made from various metals created by the gods' metallurgy. The majority of its body, including its engine, is made from steel. Its engine uses external combustion and is, in fact, a steam engine. This is the same type of engine powering the train that connects Hidden Moriya, where Sanae and the other gods live, to the hot spring town where the oni live. Both engines utilize special compounds found in the hot spring water in their fuel. Apparently, there's a special tunnel designed to transport Hisoutensoku beneath the railroad tracks, but that's yet to be confirmed. It's also said that if you follow the tunnel's tracks in the opposite direction to the hot spring town, you enter a mist that never fades. What's more, it's said no one knows what lies on the other side. The rumors that you can hear voices coming from beyond the mist, that you can see silhouettes moving around there, and that marebito appear from that direction have long been dismissed as nothing more than stories intended to scare people.
The robot named Hisoutensoku still isn't equipped with a nuclear fusion furnace and its combination mechanism is incomplete.
Her hair turned pink when she traveled between worlds. The Japanese words for hair and god are both pronounced "kami," and your hair embodies your spirituality.
Sanae's Iron Gohei is actually made of brass. Someday, she wants to make one out of titanium and call it her Titan Gohei.
