Shinsetsu

Expand

Shinsetsu (a Touhou LW original) refers to deep snow. This is an apt temperament for Narumi, who is a jizou statue like those in the Kasa Jizou folk tale. Narumi is endowed with Earth Phase, since she is a stone statue, and Sun Essence, because she prays for the salvation of all sentient beings.

The encompassing and regenerative Earth Phase resists Fire Phase, because fire produces earth, but it is weak to Wood Phase, because wood parts earth.

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

Spiritual Assistance

Narumi Yatadera's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). Divine spirits and souls of the dead lend their assistance in this attack. This is one of the blessings bestowed upon those who pray to Ksitigarbha, the bodhisattva, also known as Jizou Bosatsu in Japanese. Isn't it nice that beings of transcendental power are willing to help you out? It's a little confusing, but Narumi is surely a devout follower of Ksitigarbha, even though she's a jizou statue.

Deva & Dragon Protection

Narumi Yatadera's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). Devas and dragons offer their protection in this attack. This is one of the blessings bestowed upon those who pray to Ksitigarbha. Isn't it nice that dharmapala and dragon kings, who reside in heaven, are willing to protect you? It's a little confusing, but this attack should let you experience Ksitigarbha's benevolence and love.

Magic Sign: Instantaneous Bodhi

Narumi Yatadera's Spell Card. She instantaneously awakens to the knowledge and wisdom of Buddha. Narumi was originally just a jizou statue, but she became a magician due to the magical energy in the Forest of Magic. It was like a sudden enlightenment. Perhaps new life continues to appear spontaneously within the forest.

Six Ksitigarbha Fusion

Narumi Yatadera's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She combines with her golem helpers. She usually only uses one golem at a time, but in this attack, she gathers them all together to fuse them with her own body. Combining focuses all of their magical energy, letting her deal out super powerful attacks.

A certain war god once remarked that it would be more effective to attack with each golem in unison rather than combining into a single target, but the wind priestess refuted this, saying this was so much cooler. Narumi, however, seems to have just based this attack on Ksitigarbha, who is also known as Lord of the Six Ways.

Character Ability

Capable of using magic (control of living things)

Expand

This is the ability of the jizou statue Narumi Yatadera, who is also a magician. She is not an incarnation of the bodhisattva Ksitigarbha (known as Jizou Bosatsu in Japanese), but a stone jizou statue given life by the magical energy in the Forest of Magic.

Unlike Shiki Eiki, Yamaxanadu, Narumi is still just a statue of Ksitigarbha. She didn't gain any divine powers by accumulating faith. However, since coming to life, she has longed to liberate all sentient beings, just like the true Ksitigarbha. Perhaps this is an example of how form elicits substance, similar to how popular Buddhist practices such as reciting the name of the Buddha and going on pilgrimages are meant to bring one closer to the Buddha and enlightenment.

Narumi can use this ability to control golems and instantly neutralize fairies since fairies are manifestations of pure lifeforce. It is believed that her power to manipulate life stems from the nature of her own existence. But what is life? This is one of those questions that humanity hasn't been able to solve, but if you were, to say, classify living beings using the purely biological sense of the word ''life,'' youkai like Narumi would not meet the criteria. However, scientific definitions don't hold any sway in a world of magic and youkai. Rather, they are openly challenged. In Gensokyo, if something could be considered a living being, then it is. This basically boils down to the general rule that if it moves, it's alive. The words ''animal'' and ''animation'' originated from the word ''anima'', the soul that moves the body.

Narumi is a jizou statue that gained the ability to move autonomously thanks to the magic permeating the Forest of Magic. This is remarkably similar to Byakuren Hijiri's Sorcerer's Sutra Scroll, which activates of its own accord to recite spells for its owner. Byakuren made this item out of magical materials while she was sealed in Makai. It could be said that both Narumi and the Sorcerer's Sutra Scroll are living magical beings that subsist on magical energy. Additionally, things such as robot pets and devices with speech recognition could also be considered living beings when viewed from the standpoint of a magician.

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

DMG from resisted elements 20% DOWN.

Character Analysis

Narumi Yatadera was released on June 2nd 2023 in the VS Divergent Spirits Ritual Prayers Pool. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.

Once a stationary statue that would take the shape of Buddha, this magical being became who she is today thanks to the Forest of Magic’s, well, magic! However, if it wasn’t for a certain incident that affected the Four Seasons one way or another, this shy Jizou would most likely stay hidden to the point of possibly still not doing her part in the Lost Word incident. It’s good to see Narumi Yatadera come out of her shell, thus leading to herself and her golems providing faithful assistance.

Narumi Yatadera is a Destroy-Class Friend who uses Earth and Wood breaks while using CRIT and Yang buffs, some CRIT buffs also provided to the team.

As an Attacker

Increases her Yang ATK via Skill 3 and decreases an enemy’s Yang DEF via Last Word.
Increases her Spirit Power via Skill 3 and Spell Card 1.
CRIT ATK buffs for the team via Skill 1, Spell Card 2 and by Boosting as well as individual buffs on some bullet lines.
CRIT Accuracy buffs via Skill 2 and Last Word.
Accuracy buffs via bullet lines on Spell Cards and Last Word.
Yang DEF buffs via Skill 2 and Spell Card 2, also slightly boosting her Hard Scaling output.
Killers include Human, Fairy, Soul, Undead, Beast, Bird and Insect.

As a Breaker / Utility

Good amount of Earth and Wood breaks on Spell Cards, especially 6 Earth breaks on her Solo Last Word.
Tiny Burn break utility via Solo Last Word at 3P.
Takes 20% less damage from resisted elements (Fire, Star).
Takes 25% less damage from Fairies via Passive 1.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on June 01, 2023)

Spell Card

The Witch of Scarlet Dreams

Ordinary Magician

Summer God, Fantasy Sea

Generally you’re going to want Yang ATK and Spirit Power to strengthen Narumi. Other options if that is already accounted for will include Accuracy, Ofuda Cards for Spell Card 1 and Heavy Cards for Spell Card 2.

Spirit Power Cards to use: The Witch of Scarlet Dreams, Dancer in the Puddle, Myouren Temple Anniversary and Taking a Breather in Spring.

Yang ATK Cards to use: Ordinary Magician, How Irrational…, Kasen’s Senkai and Members of the Yakumo Family.

Assuming the Accuracy buffs in her bullet lines aren’t enough, you could also use cards such as: Valued Tools of the Trade, Ability Cards?, Taking a Breather in Spring, Shichi-Go-San School Visit?! and Poltergeist Sisters’ Concert.

If the relevant buffs above are already covered, the options below are assuming you want to use either Spell Card for high damage:

Spell Card 1 uses Ofuda Bullets with her Yang lines being Wood. With this in mind, look to cards such as: Summer God, Fantasy Sea and Little Sister and Sweets.

Spell Card 2 uses Heavy Bullets with her Yang lines being Earth. Cards like Dropping Keystones, The Secret God of the Sky, Summer God, Fantasy Sea, Incident Shrine, By The Underground Lake and Idola-Deus will do the trick.

Last Word

Mysterious Sword Master

The Moon and Izayoi

Idola-Deus

6 lines of Slash, 6 lines of Earth. The Slash lines in Narumi’s Last Word scream 3 words: Mysterious Sword Master. Not only does this card boost her Slash bullets by 50%, but just in case she doesn’t quite cover her Accuracy from her Spell Card bullet lines, she can use the card’s Accuracy boost to ensure all bullets hit her target. If Accuracy isn’t an issue though, The Moon and Izayoi has a slightly more favorable Yang ATK stat stick at the cost of the Accuracy buff. Lastly, another valid option should you want to take advantage of Earth buffing, Idola-Deus comes in with a 40% Earth boost with a slight Yang ATK boost as well as some great Yang stat sticks.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

Supply Golem is important for both the Spirit Power and the important Yang ATK that helps her damage, so that goes first. Next up is up to you since the second and third choices are close to each other, but we will go with the first Skill, Support Golem, helping the team with CRIT ATK more, even if for 1 turn. Lastly, is Defense Golem, slightly increasing her own Yang DEF and CRIT Accuracy.

Character Strengths

Down to Earth Breaker

For a General Friend, Narumi doesn’t hold back with her elemental breaks, especially on her Spell Cards. Both her first and second All-Targeting Spell Cards have 3 Earth and 3 Wood breaks with slightly different distributions, and as for her Last Word, an enemy will be subjected to up to 6 Earth breaks.

Spirit (Power) of Buddha

Narumi is very solid when it comes to the power she can display, as she provides all the buffs needed to bring the damage. From a little bit of Yang ATK, to CRIT ATK that extends to the team, to self-sufficient Spirit Power, she does her job as a potential powerhouse very well.

Character Weaknesses

Next to no Anomaly Utility

Narumi being very to the point with damage and breaks might have come at the cost of anomaly potential. Only being able to break Burn anomalies via her Last Word at 3P doesn’t quite allow her to work well with allies who use anomalies unfortunately. Then again, Narumi already does a decent job with what she sets out to do, with her 2 elements and possibly high damage potential.
