Chimata, a perfect example that ZUN's brilliant character designs have never declined.

If she is based on Kamuoichihime, then you could say that the bag she hanged it on her belt could be full of grains, since Kamuoichihime is also the goddess of grains.

Omg that's really interesting. That gives Chimata a lot of more character to her

Ability is letting people un own stuff but is the creator of the marketplace.... The irony

Excellent video about one of my favourite Touhou gods!

ALL HAIL CHIMATA

[@nadox5259]

Another thing I wanna say is that if she's based on Kamuoichihime, the elder sister of Iwanagahime and KonoSayukahime, she could be also related to the mountains. That's why Megumu saw her as a threat to Tengu society because she could reclaim the yokai mountain that her sister Iwanagehime was her previous owner.

It's definitely true that Chimata grew to be a threat to Megumu, or at the very least her plans. Had a bit about that originally but ended up cutting it, in a way it's probably more relevant to Megumu so it'll go in that video whenever I get to it.

Wow! Love this! I like this video because it has some information that I wouldn't really find elsewhere. This video is very insightful. I love the mythology inspiration. I always love the mythology inspiration for characters. That's the part of the video that amazed me.
