Element Type Chart

Nagori Yuki
Expand
 Nagori Yuki (a Touhou LW original) refers to snow that lingers on the ground after winter's end or snow that falls during spring. This is an apt temperament for this Yuyuko, who continues to make her way beyond the world's death.

Yuyuko's temperament has been fully reconstructed. She's a ghost who stands on the border between life and death (Water Phase). She's imbued with the temperament of the cherry tree that can't blossom, the Saigyou Ayakashi (Wood Phase).

The flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water.

The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood.

Character Shots

White Blossom Slash
The Spread Shot of Yuyuko Saigyouji, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She thinks of Hakurouken while swinging her Blue Blossom Blade. Yuyuko doesn't appear to have learned much in the way of swordsmanship, and her fencing instructor, Youmu, is supposedly still inexperienced. So when Yuyuko decides to swing her sword, she isn't very good with it. She isn't able to cut, so her style of swordsmanship must allow for that not to matter. It's known as ''bladeless.''

Blossom-Viewing Slash
The Focus Shot of Yuyuko Saigyouji, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She thinks of Roukanken while swinging her Blossoming Blade. The transition from winter to spring represents reincarnation. This is the natural flow of the karmic cycle, but it's a reversal of the cycle of life.

Yuyuko's two wooden swords were made from branches of the Saigyou Ayakashi and are, thus, ''bladeless.'' This means they can't cut, and so slicing with them results in a ''negative slice,'' which is the same as undoing a slice.

Yuyuko is a ghost who remains trapped between winter (death) and spring (birth), meaning she doesn't reincarnate. The Saigyou Ayakashi has a similar quality in that it cannot bloom, but by using swords made from it, Yuyuko can turn her own state of limbo into an advantage. Fates will intertwine in the reborn world as she makes her way there from the lost world.

Hakugyokurou: Spirit's Sword Dance Training
A Spell Card of Yuyuko Saigyouji, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She recalls her previous fencing instructor, who left upon attaining enlightenment. Before Youmu took over as the Saigyouji family's fencing instructor, the role was carried out by her grandfather, Youki Konpaku. Yuyuko doesn't appear to be that skilled with a sword, perhaps because her ability makes swords unnecessary, but it could also be because she avoided taking Youki's overly strict lessons. Whether the Prismriver sisters were already performing at Hakugyokurou when Youki reached enlightenment is unclear... but it would be nice to think they all met.

Hakugyokurou: Unknown Poet's Fujimi Poets Society
A Spell Card of Yuyuko Saigyouji, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She artificially recalls someone she herself has no memory of. It's likely that Yukari Yakumo knew the famed poet who died under a cherry tree. The poet lived in the Heian Era, which was a time rife with conflict between humans and youkai. Perhaps Yuyuko and Yukari met during that very era.

Banquet - Saigyou Ayakashi Pruning Dance
The Last Word of Yuyuko Saigyouji, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). The Saigyou Ayakashi and Yuyuko guide each other in this attack. Yuyuko doesn't know of the fate she once led herself to or the hidden truth of the Saigyou Ayakashi. Although, aside from certain individuals in special positions, like Yukari Yakumo, it's likely no one knows those things. But does the Saigyou Ayakashi know? According to the reliable records discovered thus far, the Saigyou Ayakashi has always maintained perfect silence. (Although it may just be a youkai incapable of speech.) But for over a thousand years, it's been watching, and those memories should be carved into its growth rings. Plants are not silent beings that never move; it's just that moving takes them an extremely long time. Their roots spread underground like a nervous system, which may allow them to sense things at distances well beyond the likes of any animal. If the Saigyou Ayakashi does spend an incomprehensibly long time thinking carefully about things, what will it think of Yuyuko Saigyouji when the Lost Word Incident arrives? And what will it do?

Character Ability

Capable of manipulating death (Lost)
Expand
 The ability of Yuyuko Saigyouji, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Yuyuko 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.

In the cycle of life, the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, correspond to birth, growth, fruition & decline, and death, respectively. And just as spring follows winter, rebirth follows death as the cycle continues. This cycle is also known as the karmic cycle, and the process of rebirth is known as reincarnation.

To explain the concept of ''life,'' you also need the concept of ''death.'' All living beings die, and it is only through living that one can die. You can't refer to a being that doesn't die as ''alive.'' According to one record, all beings exist on the infinitesimally thin line between life and death... The transition from winter to spring is the same as the one from death to life through reincarnation. This makes Yuyuko's Spring Snow Incident an infinite series of reincarnations, meaning it will never end. The incident directly brings attention to the land of Hourai, which is free from both death and life; Yuyuko's existence as a ghost removed from the karmic cycle; and a dream for revival that will never come true.

It's thought that the daughter of the Fujimi family written about in an old record was Yuyuko Saigyouji before she died and that hers is the body buried beneath the Saigyou Ayakashi. In other words, it's Yuyuko's body buried there. When the Saigyou Ayakashi reaches full bloom, that body will revive, and the ghost Yuyuko will be reborn as a human. However, she'll also experience the passage of 1,000 years all at once, causing her to vanish in an instant.

The Saigyou Ayakashi is a greater youkai that used to drain people's life force with an insatiable thirst, but now, it's sealed away by Yuyuko's corpse, never to bloom. It's thought that Yuyuko doesn't know that, however, on account of her losing her memories. Even after the incident ends, it's likely things will remain that way.

When Yuyuko came face-to-face with the Lost Word Incident and its power to erase both life and death, there was surely nothing she could have done. However, if the Saigyou Ayakashi remembers Yuyuko from before she died, perhaps it can awaken the Fujimi family's daughter and tip the scales in Yuyuko's favor with a powerful ''invitation to death''

Swords That Can't Cut
Yuyuko's Blue Blossom Blade and Blossoming Blade are wooden swords made from fallen branches of the Saigyou Ayakashi. Youmu's Hakurouken is the treasured sword of the Konpaku family, and her Roukanken is a blade forged by youkai. On the other hand, both of Yuyuko's swords emerged from among the Saigyou Ayakashi's branches as reproductions based on the Saigyou Ayakashi's memories of the Konpaku family's swords. The Saigyou Ayakashi is far bigger than any other cherry tree, with its branches being considerably thicker than a normal cherry tree's trunk, meaning Yuyuko's wooden swords are of the highest quality. Moreover, since the Saigyou Ayakashi is a greater youkai, they are also greater youkai swords. However, since they're wooden, they can't slice through anything, and are known as ''Swords That Can't Cut,'' with the fictitious style of swordsmanship Yuyuko practices with them being known as ''bladeless''

The lower these two swords' cutting potential, the better they can exhibit their power. There are so few things they can cut through that their cutting potential becomes negative, giving them the power to ''un-cut'' that which has been cut.

Blue Blossom Blade
This is the longer of the two Swords That Can't Cut. It's a wooden sword that emerged on its own based on the memories of Youmu's Hakurouken carved into the Saigyou Ayakashi's rings. The Hakurouken slices through regrets and sends spirits of the dead to nirvana. The Blue Blossom Blade, on the other hand, induces regrets and prevents the spirits of the dead from moving on. Furthermore, the Japanese word ''seirou'' (lit. ''blue blossom'') means the abode of a nobleman or beautiful woman, while ''hakurou'' (lit. ''white blossom'') means the abode of someone of low status.

Blossoming Blade
This is the shorter of the two Swords That Can't Cut. It's a wooden sword that emerged on its own based on the memories of Youmu's Roukanken carved into the Saigyou Ayakashi's rings. The Roukanken contains the power to slay ten phantoms with one cut. The Blossoming Blade, on the other hand, prevents even a single phantom from perishing. The Japanese word ''rouchu'' (lit. ''blossoming'') means indoors, while ''roukan,'' (lit. blossom viewing) means to look out at cherry blossoms.

Character Analysis

Yuyuko Saigyouji (Boundary of Time) was released on January 25th 2024 on Relic Prayer “Sword-Dancing Soul”. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

The mistress of Hakugyokurou that is capable of manipulating death is yet another one of our beloved Friends who have lost their abilities and those close to her as a result of the Lost Word Incident. However, this also means she comes with brand new weapons, such as in this case, her Blue Blossom Blade and Blossoming Blade originating as branches from the Saigyouji Ayakashi and taking up the roles a certain Half-Human Half-Phantom’s Hakurouken and Roukanken respectively. With her newfound knowledge of the blade (or bladeless), can Yuyuko Saigyouji blossom, reunite with those close to her and inflict death upon this incident?

L80 Yuyuko Saigyouji is a Technical-Class Friend who gracefully arrives on the battlefield with a butterfly swarm’s worth of Yang DEF debuffing, decent support, Poison anomalies onto enemies inflicted and broken, and her own Wood Weakness infliction on enemies.

As an Attacker / Supporter / Debuffer

  • L80 Yuyuko’s bullets get a 30% boost if their elements are effective against its enemies. Elements include Wood, Moon, Metal, Water and Earth.
  • Gains a huge Spirit Power buff from Skill 2 (2.10) for herself and a team Spirit Power buff with Spell Card 1’s Post-ATK (0.80).
  • Yang ATK buff for the team via Last Word Pre-ATK.
  • Has a few ways to debuff the Yang DEF of her enemies, from Skills 1 and 3, as well as Spell Card 2’s Pre-ATK and some bullet lines on her Focus Shot.
  • Grants the team CRIT ATK via Skill 3 and gives herself more CRIT ATK via Last Word Pre-ATK.
  • Grants the team Accuracy when Boosting.
  • Gives the team Yang DEF buffs through Skill 1, Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK and Last Word Pre-ATK. Also gains Yang DEF on some bullet lines from Spread Shot and on one from her Last Word.
  • Agility buff for the team via Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK, as well as a Focus Shot Agility buff.
  • The above Yang DEF and Agility buffs can go toward L80 Yuyuko’s Hard and Slice Scaling. Last Word’s Scaling goes up to 100% for both.
  • Yin DEF debuffs from Skill 3, Spell Card 2’s Pre-ATK (on an enemy) and on a few bullet lines on her Focus Shot and Spell Card 1.
  • Slight selfish CRIT Accuracy buffs on some bullet lines, including Spread Shot, Spell Card 1 and Spell Card 2.
  • CRIT Evasion debuffing on enemies from Last Word Pre-ATK.
  • L80 Yuyuko’s Killers include Parallel Presence, Mastermind (LW), Phantom, Soul, Swordswoman, Martial Artist, Magician, Netherworld, Spring, Winter, Flower, Insect, Fairy, Poltergeist, Undead, Hell, Animal Realm, Heaven, Moon-Related Party, and Lunar Capital

As a Utility / Breaker

  • Is the second Friend to have an Elemental Weakness infliction, this time being Wood, achieved via Skill 3. For L80 Yuyuko herself, this benefits her Last Word and Focus Shot especially, and can greatly benefit other Friends who have a lot of Wood elemental bullets.
  • Other elements aside from Wood include Moon, frequently appearing on both Spell Cards and Spread Shot while slightly appearing in her Focus Shot and Last Word, Metal appearing in a half of her Spell Card 1, and Water and Earth slightly appearing in her kit.
  • When inflicted with a layer of Poison or Freeze, L80 Yuyuko’s Yin DEF, Yang DEF, CRIT DEF and CRIT Evasion go up a stage. She can achieve this herself from Skill 2 and both Spell Cards’ bullet lines.
  • Can inflict and break mainly Poison anomalies, with inflictions being from Skill 1, Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK and Last Word Pre-ATK, as well as a Passive inflicting one layer of Poison on an enemy every turn. Breaks are achieved via All-Targeting Spread Shot (3P), Solo-Targeting Focus Shot (1P), All-Targeting Spell Card 1 (3P) and All-Targeting Last Word (3P). A Freeze break is also possible through the same Spread Shot.
  • Gains 2 Barriers from Spell Card 2’s Post-ATK.
  • Due to her Ability, takes 25% less damage from Earth elemental bullets.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on February 15, 2024)

Spell Card

How Irrational...
Divine Spirit Tajikarao
Beach Sanshoku Geidontei

Ideally, L80 Yuyuko would benefit from Yang ATK buffs above all else, especially if the Yang DEF debuffing isn’t enough. Other kinds of Story Cards that could help would be Spirit Power buffing ones and/or CRIT ATK, Agility and maybe even Accuracy if you want to focus more on the offensive side. If you aren’t worried about that though, you can then look to cards that will make L80 Yuyuko’s Spell Cards more powerful, whether it’s Slash Bullet boosting ones for Spell Card 1, Body Bullet boosting options for Spell Card 2, or Moon element boosting picks for either/both.

Last Word

Boundary of Time
Break Time in Yomi
The Moon and Izayoi
Mysterious Sword Master
Disillusion
Kaguya's Moonlit Festival!
Gaze Upon the Flowers
Little Sister and Sweets
Blue Goodbyes

Channeling her inner Youmu, L80 Yuyuko’s Last Word being Slash means there are a good chunk of picks she can work with, but of course, her very own Boundary of Time is head and shoulders above the rest for its 50% boost in both Wood and Slash, as well as an additional CRIT ATK buff for the team.

Other Slash options include Break Time in Yomi, The Moon and Izayoi, Mysterious Sword Master and Disillusion, for their huge Slash boosts should the above not be available for you. As for using the 4 Wood bullet lines to your advantage, you could also look at cards like Kaguya’s Moonlit Festival! (also boosting one of her Moon bullets in this Last Word), Gaze Upon the Flowers, Little Sister and Sweets and Blue Goodbyes.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

L80 Yuyuko’s only Skill that gives her Spirit Power is Skill 2’s Huaxu Ghost, which can give her more than enough to get to 3P immediately. Other benefits include more CRIT ATK buffs for the team as well as more Freeze anomalies onto herself. Speaking of anomalies, next up is Skill 1’s Saigyouji Daughter, adding another layer of Poison onto enemies, another stage of Yang DEF on enemies debuffed, and another stage of Yang DEF for the team. Finally, we have Skill 3’s Netherworld Bloom. The only effects being benefited here are the Yin and Yang DEF debuffs, with the Wood infliction remaining unaffected.

Character Strengths

Blossoming Power

Through combined Hard and Slice Scaling, a 30% boost in effective elemental bullets that can be taken advantage of, and constant Yang DEF debuffing, L80 Yuyuko does have what it takes to cut away at her enemies using raw power, which especially with full setup and enemies susceptible to Killers, this will be a rather powerful Boundary for enemies to overcome.

Olive Branch of Support

While the usual team buffs being a bit of CRIT ATK, Spirit Power, Accuracy, Yang DEF and even some Agility are helpful, as well as Yang DEF and Yin DEF debuffs that could be of use to some allies, they woodn’t hold a candle to L80 Yuyuko’s own Wood weakness infliction achieved through Skill 3! Not only can this greatly benefit her Last Word, but also multiple allies that like their Wood elemental bullets, such as F1 Koishi, A7A Reimu, A7B Reimu, B5 Lunasa, H5 Mystia and more!

Bladeless Poison

L80 Yuyuko is also capable of breaking down the Barriers of her enemies with her ways of inflicting and breaking Poison anomalies. With breaking achieved from both Shots, her Spell Card 1 and Last Word, and with inflictions through her Passive 1, Skill 1, Spell Card 1 and Last Word, plus with L80 Yuyuko’s ability to reach 3P off the jump thanks to Skill 2, she can even break 5-6 Poison anomalies instantly!

Character Weaknesses

Lacking in Yang ATK Buffs

While her many Yang DEF debuffs can somewhat mitigate this issue, once Barrier breaking and gauge clearing is in question, those very debuffs can disappear, with L80 Yuyuko’s only way to gain Yang ATK naturally being from her Last Word Pre-ATK. This is something that Story Cards and allies can support her with, such as a familiar L80 Youmu for example.

Quantity over Quality with Killers

Losing the ability to manipulate death seems to have taken a toll on L80 Yuyuko, as she has found herself going the quantity over quality route when it comes to the Killers she has access to. Her large selection of them is mainly carried by her Parallel Presence Killers, so that could be a bit of an issue for her on specific stages.
