Circumzenithal Arc

Expand

Circumzenithal Arc (a Touhou LW original) refers to a rainbow-like arc that forms in the sky above the sun when ice crystals refract incoming sunlight. This is an apt temperament for this Kasen, who continues to journey across parallel worlds, searching for the cause of the incident.

There are two Kasens One is a hermit and is alive today, and the other is in the past. The hermit Ibarakasen is making an effort to accept her past self while distancing herself from them entirely. The two have much in common (Metal Phase) but also function as opposite sides of the same coin (Moon Essence).

The cold and silent Metal Phase resists Earth Phase, because earth bears metal, but it is weak to Fire Phase, because fire refines metal.

The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.

Hundred-Beast Assault

The Spread Shot of Kasen Ibaraki, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls her time spent with the animals she used to live alongside. The meaning of ''animal'' here is tricky to explain as its definition varies greatly from culture to culture. In material civilizations, animals tend to be seen as gifts from the gods and beings to be ruled over. However, in spiritual civilizations, they are often seen as deities or ancestor spirits―beings that should not be looked down upon.

True Identity Unknown

The Focus Shot of Kasen Ibaraki, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls a part of her past that was sliced away from her. Confusingly, Ibaraki-Douji is the name ascribed to the jealous oni of Ichijo Modoribashi as well as the oni of Rajoumon. Then again, perhaps this isn't a mistake. Perhaps those two oni were always one and the same.

A Spell Card of Kasen Ibaraki, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls abandoned friendships in this attack. The mountain hermit holds a secret in her heart.

Sages' Secret Scheme: Apostle Council

A Spell Card of Kasen Ibaraki, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She uses an attack that's been hidden from the world. It seems Yukari Yakumo and Okina Matara sometimes converse with Kasen. They supposedly share complicated and secret information with her, but no one knows exactly what. Although... one of the tengu might know.

Heian Bridge Tragedy - Flash of Disastrous Death

The Last Word of Kasen Ibaraki, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls a loss that she will never forget. It's a historical fact that Kasen Ibaraki is an oni. She lost her arm when it was sliced off by a certain samurai, but she also lost her malice as an oni. They say the life of an oni without evil in their heart is similar to a life in Hell. In some way, this undoubtedly led Kasen down the path to becoming a hermit. Centuries on, the hermit and her oni arm would be reunited, but they will never be one again.

Character Ability

Capable of guiding animals (Lost)

Expand

The ability of Kasen Ibaraki, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Kasen completely lost this ability due to a Lost Word. She is currently regaining it little by little, though not through restoring or replicating her old ability, but with a newly constructed original ability that formed a core to build upon. She has continued to travel across worlds to try and end the Lost Word Incident.

Even as a hermit, Kasen Ibaraki had limited options to combat the big incident. She had banned herself from using her true power, but even if she hadn't, using it would have caused such havoc that it simply wasn't an option. She had once managed to trick her arm into being resealed, but that wouldn't have worked a second time. No matter how bad things got, using her true power was strictly impossible.

The following assumes that Kasen Ibaraki was once an oni. Kasen searched far and wide for her arm in the hope of resealing it. With some assistance from the Hakurei shrine maiden, she enacted an elaborate yet bold plan, which led to an ultimate showdown between Kasen and her arm. The two can no longer become one. And so Kasen can never again use her true power. The phantom pain she feels where her arm used to be, the sealing curse that was placed not on her arm but on the wound it left behind, and the flesh torn open by Onikirimaru's slice will never let Kasen be at peace.

Kasen's oni arm wishes to rejoin its former body, but the wound created by Onikirimaru the Bewitched Blade, won't allow it. If the pair ever rejoined, then Kasen Ibaraki may transform into a terror that brings this world to ruin.

''OK, here's what we'll do...'' It was a plan you wouldn't believe came from a hermit. After all, hermits are supposed to be noble and kind. But to all who knew her well, it wasn't all that unexpected. The idea was to coerce Kasen's arm into rejoining her body and get it to use a level of power essentially equal to Kasen's true power. Then, they'd have the curse on the wound left by Onikirimaru thwart the arm's attempts at rejoining. The pain from the curse would be nullified with the power of the Ibaraki Box of a Hundred Medicines, which would finally allow Kasen to use its healing properties for herself. ...And if all of that succeeded, they'd be able to use the arm's power without having it rejoin with Kasen.

What was once Onikirimaru the Bewitched Blade is now Onikirimaru the Phantom-Limb Blade. Kasen found one fragment of the shattered blade, but there were more. With youkai energy binding them and memories of the past to guide them, they returned to their original shape. This, in turn, seems to have recreated the will of the blade's former master―the very samurai who sliced off Ibaraki-Douji's arm...

For every layer of Barrier Status: Burn or Blind, Yang ATK, Yin ATK, CRIT ATK, and CRIT Accuracy 1 level UP.

When using Boost, party's CRIT ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

Next up in our list of Friends to be fighting back after losing all that is close to her is our Wild and Horned Hermit. Now armed with her Onikirimaru, or specifically, Onikirimaru the Phantom-Limb Blade, no Phantom Pain will stop this Sage of Gensokyo from hacking and slashing her way to put a stop to this incident, not even any complications with her severed right arm of malice!

L80 Kasen Ibaraki is an Attack-Class Friend that can bring the pain with her version of Stored Power increasing her damage output based on Spirit Power, the Ability to work well with Burn anomalies, helpful offensive support and great self sufficiency.

3P = 60%

4P = 80%

5P = 100%

Personal Spirit Power boosts are achieved from Skill 2 (1.50), Spell Card 1 Post-ATK (1.75) and Last Word Post-ATK (2.00). Can also grant Spirit Power to the team with Skill 1 (0.75) and Spell Card 2 Post-ATK (1.00). These Spirit Power buffs can go towards the Stored Power mechanic above.

Gains a stage of Yin ATK, Yang ATK, CRIT ATK and CRIT Accuracy per layer of Burn or Blind inflicted on her. Can inflict Burn anomalies onto herself via Skill 2 and a bullet line on her Spread Shot, Focus Shot and Last Word.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on February 23, 2024)

Spell Card

New Year's Shrine Visit VII

Divine Spirit Tajikarao

Endless Summer Maiden

It’s possible to go about this by trying to make sure L80 Kasen’s Spirit Power remains at 5.00 to ensure the whole team gets that 100% damage bonus. It’s also possible to double down on her Support via means such as Yin ATK, CRIT ATK, Spirit Power, Accuracy and/or even Yin DEF and Agility. Should this sage be in the clear when it comes to putting together all the required buffs, you can easily allow her to focus on raw damage in her Spell Cards such as Slash bullet/Sun elemental damage up for Spell Card 1, or Energy bullet/Star elemental damage up for Spell Card 2.

Last Word

PHANTOM PAIN

Mysterious Sword Master

Endless Summer Maiden

Behind the Bullets: Reimu

Cleaning

Naturally, L80 Kasen’s best pick for her Last Word would be PHANTOM PAIN due to its 50% boost in both Sun and Slash bullets. However, other possible options on the Slash side would be Mysterious Sword Master, The Moon and Izayoi, Break Time in Yomi and Disillusion. However, for the Sun side (4/6 bullet lines are Sun), we have Makai God’s Descent, Karma Speed and Endless Summer Maiden. Finally, for some more out there options, we have Cleaning and Behind the Bullets: Reimu.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

A case can probably be made for any order given the Skills we have here, but in this case, we’ll be going for that mix of consistency and additional Spirit Power for the team from Skill 1 being Modoribashi Battle, which has a solid Spirit Power and Accuracy team support potential, as well as Burn anomalies inflicted onto enemies. Next up, in order for L80 Kasen to reach 3P off the jump, we have to go for the one in the middle, being Incomplete Verse. On top of the Spirit Power buff, she grants more CRIT ATK to the team, while giving herself more Burn anomalies that increase her own Yin ATK and more CRIT ATK. And last, but certainly not least is Into Gensokyo, which is also just as important as the above as the damage multiplier for Spirit Power goes from 10% to 20%, and the Yin ATK and CRIT ATK buffs, alongside the Stored Power buff, all benefit the team.

Character Strengths

Armed and Ready with Stored Spirit Power

L80 Kasen’s Skill 3 is a massive factor to her raw damage output, as it can grant not just herself, but her allies a massive boost in power! From 0% assuming 0P available, to a massive 100% if this wild and horned hermit’s Spirit Power has climbed up to the Spirit Power cap of 5P, this skill alone does so much for her, and with easy access to Spirit Power, it will be such a painful time…for her enemies at least! Other ways for L80 Kasen’s damage to stay strong include her Ability’s power increase for resisted elements by 40% and a similar increase for effective elements by 25% as well as her usage of Slice Scaling going up to 110% in her Last Word. As for the cherry on top, we have a Yin ATK II buff in her Last Word.

Self-Sufficient Sage’s Spirit

With the power, or rather her Stored Power doing wonders for her power, naturally L80 Kasen has some strong Spirit Power gain. With it all located in her Skills and Spell Card Post-ATK, it’s easy for her to maintain that strong damage potential. In addition, she also has access to Accuracy buffs to ensure consistency as well as the more offensive ones like Yin ATK and CRIT ATK, both via conventional means and through self-inflicted Burn anomaly buffs. She can also give herself Agility buffs for that Slice Scaling too.

Wild and Horned Hermit’s Helpful Support

With the aforementioned Stored Power also benefiting the whole team with a potential 100% raw damage boost, as well as the self-sufficiency in Yin ATK, CRIT ATK, Spirit Power, Yin DEF, Agility and Accuracy also spreading to the team. Her Skills are full of helpful effects for both herself and the team, especially benefiting Yin-based Friends, but anyone will greatly appreciate those helpful Spirit Power buffs.

Character Weaknesses

Severed Killer Range

Possibly the main thing holding back L80 Kasen is her Killer range, due to its quantity over quality approach. With many appearing ones like Parallel Presence, Mastermind (LW), Human, Shrine Maiden and many more appearing, it doesn’t quite hit the largest amount of enemies compared to other Friends out there, although it’s not as bad as other Friends’ Killer ranges out there.
