Shinonome

Expand

Shinonome (a Touhou LW original) refers to the early morning when the eastern sky grows steadily brighter. It is the temperament of Kutaka, who has long overseen the passage of souls between worlds as a member of the Spirit River Railroad.

Kutaka's temperament has undergone soul modulation at the fundamental level. Souls are hard to control, but the employees charged with their management at the Spirit River Railroad do not allow change (Moon Essence) or selfishness (Star Essence).

Wing Semaphore

The Spread Shot of Kutaka Niwatari from the Spirit River Railroad (a Touhou LW original). She sends a message with semaphore flags. When she does so, the Railroad Air Squad comes to her aid. However, the ''squad'' is comprised exclusively of Piyo Sensei's companions. Then again, they are all the divine bird's kin. Underestimate them, and you're bound to regret it.

Alignment Whistle

The Focus Shot of Kutaka Niwatari from the Spirit River Railroad (a Touhou LW original). She sends a message via whistling. The special baby chick on her head, Piyo (real name unknown), is said to have taught her this effective whistling method. According to one theory, the bullets fired in a battle of bullets are waves. Since sound waves are also waves, you can use instruments to produce bullets, and by nullifying the waves, you can defend yourself from bullets. That might sound like a leap in logic, but if you look at ripples, you'll surely realize their beauty is similar to that of bullets. However, it seems this attack has been made visible in a different sense.

Long Cry: Awaken, O Buried Phantoms

A Spell Card of Kutaka Niwatari from the Spirit River Railroad. She guides souls in this attack. The rooster's crow brings night to an end and makes the sun rise. Its miraculous long crow was spoken of in the Ama no Iwato myth and is said to even be able to wake the dead. People of old thought of the absence of the sun's light as death, and the reclamation of its light as resurrection. But who alive today recalls that the resurrection incantation originated from the awakening incantation? Although, in that sense, alarm clocks could be thought of as modern resurrection items, no? Now, phantoms, please enjoy this early morning solo performance.

Whistle Sign: O Phantoms, Return to Thy Proper Place

A Spell Card of Kutaka Niwatari from the Spirit River Railroad. She guides souls in this attack. If you study the Six Paths and the Six Realms, you'll gain a good understanding of the path phantoms take after death. Cycling through the six realms is a soul's fundamental destiny. What about our ancestors who return to the world of the living on occasions such as Obon, an annual Buddhist event commemorating them? Well, those spirits await their reincarnation in a place called the Netherworld. It's similar to being in a train station or airport waiting room. Or you could say it's like staying overnight in a hotel adjacent to a train station or airport. If you think about it like that, being in the Netherworld sounds kinda fun, no?

Reincarnation Theory - Final Destination

The Last Word of Kutaka Niwatari from the Spirit River Railroad (a Touhou LW original). She guides souls to their final destination. There is no end to the samsara cycle, just as there is no end to a circle. But that doesn't mean there's no escape route. It isn't depicted on the track schematics, but this route leads you through a mysterious tunnel to a station that should not exist. This phantom terminal station is the ideal land of eternal peace. Kutaka Niwatari is the divine bird, who will lead you there.

Character Ability

Capable of healing throat illnesses (Concealed)

Expand

The ability of Kutaka Niwatari from the Spirit River Railroad (a Touhou LW original). It is essentially unchanged from our version of Kutaka's ability. However, since there are many mysteries surrounding the railroad and those associated with it, it's predicted that some things about this Kutaka's ability are fundamentally different, just as they are for Eiki's. While she's a god of chickens capable of healing throat illnesses, her ability as a clerical god who manages the checkpoints of the worlds that come after death has been enhanced to a greater degree.

Surely everyone has thought about the afterlife. Most people probably thought particularly seriously about it during their youth. But after becoming adults, the majority of them stop thinking about it entirely, even though they've attained no certainty on what awaits them after death.

Those who never stopped or couldn't stop thinking about it have visions of the worlds after death. In the future, these worlds made peculiar advances to become the Spirit River Railroad, where this world's Kutaka works as a guide. In the past, it was said birds carry spirits. Echoes of this can still be observed in the stories about stalks delivering newborn babies. Roosters (male chickens) appear in legends as creatures that rule over early morning waking. They are strongly tied to the image of the rising sun and the start of a new day, as well as to the resurrection of the dead. Without Kutaka's guidance, souls of the deceased would surely be cast out into space and become lost. It's said that, so long as they can hear her song and whistle, they are at ease. Perhaps you have memories of it too. A person with white wings, an angel, stretching out a warm hand to pull you from a dark dream...

As the enclosed space of a train station expands, it's somewhat inevitable that it transforms into a complex labyrinth. This transformation is all the more pertinent if the station resides in an underground ward. It's long been accepted that underground structures are generally prisons, tombs, or storage spaces. In other words, places of punishment, places to seal away the dead, or places to store resources over long periods of time. That's right, all of the above perfectly describes Hell. Such places utilize complex designs to prevent escape and theft, and depending on the circumstances, may also place traps. Given the structures' purpose, they simply can't be easy to navigate or leave. And so guides are required in train stations, railways... and Hell.

''Tweet Tweet Whistle'' is the not-so-elegant name of Kutaka's whistle, believed to have been thought up by Piyo Sensei. However, the whistle itself has no special power. Getting souls to line up is not the whistle, but Kutaka's voice coming through it. As such, her singing voice also has the power to make souls line up. The voice is made of (sound) waves, and by using a voice that directly affects the spirit, Kutaka can cause souls to act. This effect is similar to the poltergeist sisters' performances. Whistles amplify the voice, so the Tweet Tweet Whistle is a convenient tool for Kutaka to have at work. Although, if Kutaka did lose her voice from speaking loudly, she could always just heal it herself...

Character Analysis

Kutaka Niwatari (Underground Waste Ward Aligner) was released on June 9th in Prayer: “Chicken God Ultra Festival”

It’s time to sound the whistle! The God of Chickens from the Underground Waste Ward is a little different to the one we know from those healed throat illnesses. Blessed by the teachings of Piyo Sensei, Kutaka serves as the porter, guide and clerical god from the Spirit River Railroad, and she works with her fellow shinigami colleague to help keep the balance from below, serving under the Station Master. Keeping everything in line in the Underground is this version of Kutaka Niwatari’s bread and butter!

B3 Kutaka Niwatari is a Technical-Class Friend with Metal and Wood elements, Burn, Poison and Paralyze anomaly utility and a handful of other helpful tricks for herself and her teammates.

As an Attacker

Increases her damage from Metal or Wood Elements by 25% if effective against the target.
Increases her own Accuracy via Skill 1.
Increases her own Spirit Power by using Skill 2 or Spell Card 2.
Debuffs both Yin DEF and CRIT DEF via Skill 3 and Last Word. Skill 3 is on all targets and Last Word is on a single target.
Has both Hard and Slice Scaling across her kit. Her Yin DEF and Agility buffs on her bullet lines across her attacks help this too.
Soul, Undead, Lunarian, Lunar Capital and Moon Rabbit are among some of B3 Kutaka’s Killers.

As a Supporter

Increases the team’s Spirit Power by 0.50 via Skill 1.
Yin ATK buffs for the team by Skill 1 and by Boosting.
Accuracy buffs for the team via Spell Card 1.
CRIT Accuracy buffs given to the team when using both Spell Cards 1 and 2.
Team Agility buffs via Spell Card 2.
Is able to remove a Bind/Stat Debuff on all allies after using her Spell Card 1.

As a Utility

Gives the whole team Quick, allowing them all to go first via their priority bracket.
Burn anomaly utility: Increases her own Agility, Accuracy and Evasion for every Burn anomaly inflicted. Burn anomalies are inflicted onto all enemies via Skill 3 and Last Word, which can be broken via Spell Card 2 (All) and Last Word (Solo)
Paralyze and Poison anomaly utility: Grants herself defensive buffs when inflicted with either anomaly. Paralyze and Poison anomalies inflicted upon herself via Skill 2 and Last Word. Poison anomalies are broken via Spell Card 1 (All) and Last Word (Solo)
Takes 40% less damage from Soul-like presences via her Passive 1.
Slightly increases her own Focus via her Spell Card 1 Bullet Line.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on June 08, 2023)

Spell Card

Myouren Temple Anniversary

Mansion of Memories

Worlds in Hand

B3 Kutaka is able to lean into more of a supportive role with the help of the right Story Cards, which could also benefit herself in some ways too. On top of that, both Spell Cards are Energy and some specific cards conveniently do a bit of both supporting and damage dealing. Here are some cards below that can cover specific important roles you might be looking for.

Spirit Power Cards: The Witch of Scarlet Dreams, Our Dream, Midnight Tea, Taking a Breather In Spring

Team Spirit Power Cards: Myouren Temple Anniversary, Divine Spirits Tajikarao, Dancers Take the Stage!

Team Yin ATK Cards: Mansion of Memories, Tenma Mountain Starfall

Team CRIT ATK Cards: Worlds in Hand, Divine Spirits Tajikarao

Barrier Support Cards: Tropico-Fantasia!, Summer Rocket, Boundary of Sleep and Vigil, Little Laplace’s Demon, Moriya Shrine Anniversary.

Energy Bullet Cards: Unknown Barrier Team, Worlds in Hand, Mansion of Memories, Choose an Animal Spirit, Lunatic Red Eyes, Protection of Cerpinus (also boosts Wood), Thunder Beat (also boosts Wood), Underworld Party Night (debuffs an enemy’s Yin DEF and CRIT DEF)

Last Word

Infinity Garden

Disillusion

Little Sister and Sweets

Anniversary at the SDM

Occult Circle

Winter Holiday

Magic Trio

Infinity Garden lines up so well for B3 Kutaka, benefiting from that 50% Laser Boost while also debuffing the Yin DEF of all enemies as a result of her Technical Class. Because she also has a Full Metal Last Word, Disillusion would actually make a solid pick, and Little Sister and Sweets could serve as a slightly less effective version of Infinity Garden, yet still solid in its own right. If those options are not available to you, you could find some usage from cards like Anniversary at the SDM and Magic Trio with their additional effects on top of their lesser Laser boost, as well as Occult Circle and Winter Holiday for the 35% Laser boosts.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

First in line could be one of 2 choices, but since Spirit Power is very valuable and helps B3 Kutaka get up and running, we’ll go with the second Skill which is Quicksort, mainly for B3 Kutaka’s Spirit Power gain. It also benefits her in terms of buffing her defensive stats via Paralyze anomalies and making her Hard Scaling more effective. Next up by a small margin will be Mergesort. Upon leveling this up, team Accuracy will be more potent, they will gain even more Spirit Power and the cooldown rate is effectively halved from 8 turns to 4 turns! Finally will be Heapsort, which is still solid, but the additional CRIT DEF and Yin DEF debuffs as well as Burn anomaly inflictions on all enemies can wait a bit.

Character Strengths

Elemental Breaks and Anomaly Utility

B3 Kutaka has a decent amount of Wood breaks to work with and a greater amount of Metal breaks, such as 6 lines of Metal in her Last Word. On top of that, she does a good amount of things with 3 of the 5 anomalies, such as being able to increase her Accuracy, Agility and Evasion when inflicted with Burn, but can also inflict 4 layers of them onto enemies via Skill 3 and another 2 to all targets via Last Word, and assuming B3 Kutaka is at 2P, she can break these with her Spell Card 2 and her Last Word. Both Paralyze and Poison can be inflicted on himself to provide defensive buffs, and also via 2P, B3 Kutaka can break Poison anomalies on all enemies via Spell Card 1 and Last Word. Keep in mind her Last Word is Solo-Targeting though, but that said, her Burn anomaly breaking potential could be quite good in the best situations.

Clerical Chicken’s Carriages of Support

B3 Kutaka also has delivered some helpful gifts too. While some effects are for herself, others for the whole team can help quite a bit such as Accuracy, Yin ATK, Spirit Power, CRIT Accuracy, Agility and even being able to remove a Bind/Stat Debuff after using her Spell Card 1. The other effects are achieved via Skills and Spell Cards (and Boosting in the case of Yin ATK). B3 Kutaka also has another trick being that she can allow her whole team to attack first within their priority bracket by granting them all Quick on Skill 2, and can use Skill 3 to Debuff Yin DEF and CRIT DEF on all enemies too, which could help some other teammates, especially Yin-Based ones.

Character Weaknesses

Struggles on the side of Damage

Ultimately, B3 Kutaka’s damage is going to struggle at times. Despite her mix of Hard + Slice scaling as well as mix of buffs and debuffs, her Killer range including Soul, Undead, Lunarian, Lunar Capital and Moon Rabbit doesn’t quite cut it all the time. If these Killers land, her Solo-Targeting Last Word will do quite a number on a specific enemy, especially if they are weak to Metal, but otherwise, those aforementioned CRIT DEF debuffs might not be fully capitalized on.
