The New Touhou Character Alternate Interpretation Compendium!

Patience, my children. The time of the bucket will come. For now, let us wait in reverence for the time of the oni to pass.

PS: According to the Touhou Wiki, Japanese fans sometimes call Yuugi "nee-san" or "ane-san", meaning "big sister". It randomly occurred to me today that that's probably a sideways pun on the fact that "oni" can be stretched out into "onii(-san)", which means "big brother".

CRAZINESS!

That, plus her outfit apparently makes her look like an old time gang (Yakuza?) boss. It's the skirt.

...

Actually, it's probably that, yeah.

I LIKED MY THEORY.

Not yakuza, though, no. Just rebels.

It's interesting that while fan works tend to lolify Suika even further, Yuugi is frequently portrayed in a manly manner. Then again, everyone's character tends to be exaggerated to impossible degrees.

Though there's a Danbooru pool (with NSFW ads, oh man) especially for feminine depictions of Yuugi. After Tacitus' write-up, those are starting to sound just as interesting as the masculine version, I've gotta say. I also like to think of Mokou as feminine despite her popular masculine depiction, but for different reasons.

The ads aren't the only thing about that link that's unsafe-for-work.

That may be true as well, ahaha.

Hey, this other thing that I found while searching for the Fem Yuugi pool is kinda neat, too.

I guess Quiet!Yuugi is the side in the blue yukata and Chatty!Yuugi is the boisterous, manly side.

I figured Suika would be a better choice, since we've mentioned her a lot.

Then Kisume can be after Suika.

Of course, since you're posting using Lynx, you don't know for sure.

semms like it's a loli next either way... (only thing undecided is whether bucket loli or loli oni,,,

Well it'd be nice to segue into Suika while we're on the topic of oni, but as it's been pointed out if we skip Kisume it's going to be hard to go back to her.

Plus I'm curious at what kind of minifics the bukkit loli will inspire.

Not quite a stoner, more like a metaphorical rock in terms of steadiness and reliability. But I do like the idea that, in a society of yelling, muscle-flexing drunkards jockeying for position and generally posturing, Yuugi sits on the sidelines, relaxed, serenely enjoying her drink. She's loud and rambunctious when she's having a good time, not because she's trying to impress anybody. And since she's so quietly self-confident, she can encourage and help her fellow oni without viewing them as rivals.

Or something like that. My theory is that Suika's boisterousness is an attempt to drown out the feelings of loneliness and regret that drove her to return to the surface, so I figured that as the other side of the yin-yang Yuugi would be (relatively) quiet but also at peace with herself and her place in the world. Maybe she's The Hero in the sense that other oni want to be her when they grow up, but she'd probably think of herself as a Team Mom or Cool Big Sis.

Oh, of course not. The oni are an anarchic, inebriated society without a hierarchy or anyone in control. Besides, the Devas would never allow anything like that.

For some reason I have begun to wonder what a Wi Z Garage Yuugi would look like. Enlighten me.

That's the guy who made the Touhou 300 comic, right?

It would probably cause heads to explode from the epic.

Nine posts away from four thousand, yow!

WHO WILL WIN THIS ILLUSTRIOUS PRIZE?

It better be Kisume.

Somehow.

What's so special about 4000?

It ends in three zeros, thus making it a milestone, duh.

An arbitrary number?

I WANT IT!

Naturally. The universal desire for arbitrary numbers is what allows the games industry to thrive.

What. If we are still voting then Kisume.

Why do you hate Orange?

Because Orange hates us?

Orange loves all beings and certain imaginary personages as well.
