Dyson Tree (a Touhou LW original) refers to a hypothetical genetically engineered plant capable of growing inside a comet and producing a breathable atmosphere. This is an apt temperament for this world's Yuuka, who creates kaiju.
This temperament resists the Capital (Moon Essence) and the rebels (Earth Phase).
The Spread Shot of Yuuka Kazami, the kaiju professor (a Touhou LW original). Luminescent plants shine in this attack. There are plenty of animals, bacteria, and fungi that possess bioluminescence, but no such plants have been confirmed to exist. Research is being conducted into man-made luminescent plants, which combines plants with firefly and luminescent jellyfish genes. Such plants are also known as ''photogenic plants,'' deriving from the word's original meaning, but they would surely be photogenic by social media standards too.

The Focus Shot of Yuuka Kazami, the kaiju professor (a Touhou LW original). She sows seeds in space in this attack. What would happen if you made plants germinate in space? In the past, the curiosity of space researchers led them to attempt a wide range of experiments in zero gravity. Eventually, they would go on to seek lifeforms capable of surviving the vacuum of space, for they would surely be of great use when humans begin venturing out into the stars. Perhaps it would be easier to create an interplanetary, interstellar craft out of organic beings rather than mechanical parts...

A Spell Card of Yuuka Kazami, the kaiju professor (a Touhou LW original). Space blossoms in this attack. Supernovas explode in the shape of unique flowers. Surely the universe's first form was also that of a blossoming flower. And just like a flower, so too shall the universe collapse in on itself, only to expand and blossom once more in a never-ending cycle... Or so says one of the three models for the future of the universe, in which its positive curvature brings about a ''big crunch.'' Maybe Marisa would be able to tell you more about it.

A Spell Card of Yuuka Kazami, the kaiju professor (a Touhou LW original). Yuuka analyzes the structure of plants in this attack. In this world, the concept of ''security clearance'' exists, and there are always restrictions placed on who can access what information. However, there's always a way to bypass these restrictions, and engineers will use whatever means necessary to learn more about the knowable world. The first step in this process is to dismantle whatever lies before them. Biological researchers are no different. Unless they're examining a lifeform they themselves created, said researchers always play the role of ''hacker.''

The Last Word of Yuuka Kazami, the kaiju professor (a Touhou LW original). Yuuka recalls the prototypical flower in this attack. Now, why did flowers come to be? No one truly knows the answer since there's no intention behind the behaviors of biological species. But for Yuuka, who adores flowers, that explanation is difficult to accept. She sees meaning, design, and intention. Her unwavering belief is perhaps what facilitated her access to the multi-dimensional neural network.

Character Ability
Capable of manipulating flowers (Mutated)
Expand
The ability of Yuuka Kazami, the kaiju professor (a Touhou LW original). This ability is significantly different from our world's Yuuka.
Not much is currently known about this Yuuka's world, but one can assume it's filled with kaiju. However, it seems that her ''kaiju'' aren't the same as the kaiju that the sagacious spirit speaks of...
Depending on the topic, Yuuka can be quite a talkative professor, but she rarely speaks about herself. She herself was the first kaiju she ever created, and at some point, she had a strong connection to the Capital―that's all she's willing to share. Anything else known about her comes from strewn-together fragments of rumors and is far from certain.
Yuuka's area of research is often said to be the study of ''cells,'' but those who claim so are exclusively people other than Yuuka, which is a phenomenon common in the world of research. The most minute building blocks of life are cells, but Yuuka claims that, in fact, memories and abilities take that title. Memories and abilities exert influence on and are nestled within one another. That definition may seem confusing, but those are Yuuka's exact words on the topic. It follows then, that memories and abilities must always be discussed in parallel, but due to the difficulty of doing so, they are often jointly referred to as ''cells,'' which distresses Yuuka greatly. She asks that people at least use the term ''seeds.'' The influence that memories and abilities exert on each other is incalculable, but it seems they can be likened to plant seeds based on the extraordinary growth they demonstrate.
Yuuka's current research involves separating and extracting a being's memories and abilities, the foundations of existence, and implanting them into another. In doing so, she seeks to disprove her own theory. Her research was what gave rise to the new youkai, the kaiju.
There are many old stories about kaiju. They came into existence long ago in the outside world as beings to be feared. On many occasions in the past, kaiju were pointed to as the cause of epochal disasters, including those caused by humans, and were symbols of great fear. But, as time went by, they came to be viewed in a more heroic light… or so it's said. The truth, however, is that kaiju only ever existed within emakimono, plays, and fairy tales. They were nothing more than make-believe creatures.
In many ways, kaiju are similar to youkai. To humans, the youkai of old could also be considered make-believe creatures. To Yuuka, the issue was no longer limited to just kaiju, and so, naturally, she began asking herself what the youkai were, and when no answer could be found, she fell into the pits of depression. Were they not apex beings that attacked, abducted, and ate humans? With the truth hidden from her, Yuuka had no choice but to hypothesize the existence of a certain place. One she had only heard rumors of... One that had been scrubbed from her memory beyond recollection... Gensokyo. Could that be a safe haven for youkai?
What then appeared to her was the end of a thread, like spider's silk. It connected to what would come to be known as the multi-dimensional neural network. Fate, it seems, is always uncertain and unpredictable, and never allows you to choose for yourself. Yuuka reached out and grabbed the white thread. She saw a world that had already been lost, and a version of herself living inside.
For every layer of Barrier Status: Poison or Blind, Yang DEF, Yin DEF, CRIT DEF, & CRIT Evasion 1 level UP.
When using Boost, party's Yin DEF 1 level UP (1 turn).
When using Graze, party's Accuracy 1 level UP (1 turn).
All lifeforms aspire to immortality, but those who came before have already proved the tragedy that follows when it's attained.

Yuuka Kazami (Cell-Fused Kaiju) was released on February 24, 2023 in "Ultra Festival Prayer: Kaiju Professor." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.
There is a world in which the Flower Master of Four Seasons hails, from whence stories of kaiju are popular. This researcher has put her all into finding out what exactly lay at the end of the road steeped in mystery, diving through memories and abilities until she discovered the multi-dimensional neural network, the branches of which are beginning to bloom into the flowers of something sinister that awaits our protagonist.
Yuuka’s scientific love for flowers translates into a Technical-Class Friend who weeds out her enemies with ease with powerful killers, potent Blind and Poison mastery and Wood/Star bullets.
As an attacker
Powerful killers on both her 1st Spell Card, as well as her Last Word
Good buffs and debuffs with more potential with buffs and in the future, a new Story Card
As a breaker
Strong focus on breaking both Wood and Star weak enemies
Additionally, she can inflict and break Blind and Poison anomalies with a mixture of her skills and Spell Cards
Story Card Recommendations
(Card recommendations last updated on December 24, 2023)
With Spirit Power generation being a powerful tool, cards like Midnight Tea and The Witch of Scarlet Dreams prove to be invaluable cards to utilize. Puppeteer and Necromancer can also be used to augment her damage further, especially with her 1st Spell Card. Another option would be cards to give her extra Yin ATK like Mansion of Memories, Overwhelming Firepower, and New Year’s Shrine Visit VI. Alternatively, support cards like Worlds in Hand and Ability Cards?prove to be great benefactors for characters like Yuuka. Finally, to optimize her Last Word’s damage, aim for cards which provide Yin ATK as a statline, preferring ones which also give Yin DEF.
Yuuka’s best option for her Last Word would be Infinity Garden, so the best current card would be Little Sister and Sweets. For alternatives, you can opt for Overwhelming Firepower for the Yin ATK up and the Wood Bullet boost, or Occult Circle for its Laser bullet boost.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
Yuuka would prefer her 3rd skill, Unwilting Flower, leveled up first as it provides her with the ability to reach 3 boosts on turn 1, as well as the buffs she needs for damage. Afterwards, her 1st skill, Black Lotus Sacrifice, should be leveled for its debuffs as it can provide a higher damage output. Finally, her 2nd skill, Poison Ivy, should be leveled for additional scaling support, despite the scaling not being as strong as it could be.
Character Strengths
Great damage with room to grow
With Yuuka’s wide reaching killers, decent buffs and debuffs, Yuuka can dish out a good amount of damage with options like her 1st Spell Card or her Last Word. Her damage can still improve with more buffs, as well as a future card to come.
Powerful breaks
A spread of 3 Star and 3 Wood on all her Spell Cards make her breaks powerful against enemies who are weak to these. With her 2nd Spell Card, she can also break Poison and Blind anomalies, which improves her already impressive breaks. A unique thing to note is how she inflicts more Poison anomalies to whoever she was targeting which can be useful in staggering enemy breaks.
Character Weaknesses
Anomaly usage is awkward to utilize
While she does gain buffs from Poison and Blind anomalies, Yuuka also has incentive to use up her barriers for accuracy. Thus, her usage of self-inflicted anomalies and grazes can very frequently come in conflict with each other.
