Okina's theme. ...Sort of. I'm so sorry. This was something I absolutely couldn't resist.
Let me explain this one. Immediately when HSiFS was released, this lady made a very bad impression on me. I was not impressed with her Junko-esque design, and I was disappointed by the lack of a second new character for the Extra stage. Soon, her information was translated... and apparently... she's got some sort of knockoff gap powers, and is suddenly revealed to have been someone super important in Gensokyo’s history? Um, excuse me?
I don't put stock in technical arguments about "power levels," as it usually doesn't matter in subjective danmaku fights. But there is one character who obviously and irreplaceably feels to me like the most imposing and important presence in the series, by a purely conceptual interpretation. Of course, I believe that the ability to "manipulate boundaries" is the most powerful thing that can exist. That ideal is a huge thing that makes Touhou meaningful to me as a series. Yukari has long been credited with leading the original creation of Gensokyo and managing its existence. She represents the most youkai-like of all youkai, born from a concept which affects everything in the entire universe and which grants her unchallenged mastery of Touhou’s borderland. I believe in Yukari as someone who can do absolutely anything. No one is above Yukari.
So... when this "mediocre" new character was suddenly introduced as if she were Yukari's equal... I reacted like a little brat, refused to accept this, and resented her like crazy.
Since then, I truly have come to appreciate Okina’s character and personality for what it is -- especially through the process of trying to write this, as is a huge purpose for me in writing anything. I don’t genuinely hate her. She didn't, and it looks like she is not going to, actually take away any attention from Yukari. Her battle is really cool, and her self-important sass in her dialogue is really delightful. Being granted the lovely voice of my partner Lori ( / lori-hime ) also doesn't hurt her case.
Furthermore, her role in Violet Detector was very interesting; it made her stand out and feel as if she could hold her own, even while teaming with the original sage for an iconic spell card. If the two were to interact more, distinguishing themselves more like rivals in their ideals and revealing some unique motives for Okina, I would enjoy it.
Still... in my heart of hearts, I don't think she'll ever stop being "the one that dared to try and replace Yukari." That's just the biggest impact she had on me. So I had to make her "lyrics" about that, or else I would not have been motivated to work with her theme at all. Besides, recalling again her "self-important sass," you can't argue that this kind of rap battle isn't totally something that she’d do. Even if the insults traded are largely fanon-esque, I feel like these two are some of the canonically best candidates for making references beyond the fourth wall.
...*complains for hours about the appearance of a second sage* Huh? Kasen who?
Don't bother telling me how silly I am about this! Latching onto very specific concepts in a series is indulgent fun. Lori, for one, is great at indulging me. The two of us were actually struck with the concept for this "rap battle" at nearly the same moment. She then came up with the idea for a "last word" reference, as well as the tongue-in-cheek headcanon that Okina was more like an apprentice to Yukari during Gensokyo's creation and only likes to play herself up as more important than she is. Ah... you know you have a true soulmate when they're willing to bend reality with you to glorify your favorite gap hag.
This "rap battle" is sort of in the spirit of a "Touhou Hijack," so if you like that kind of thing, maybe try the following:

Yukari won imo, she was more in control.
@Alvi Syahri I just realized as soon as said merrier Yukari frowned a bit like "How does she know!?"
When I saw Yukari in the thumbnail I went "wait, why is she here, that's Okina's theme".
… And then I remembered, that's Okina theme… that shares obvious parts with a few other previous Touhou songs (like Junko's and, obviously, Yukari's).
Oh my frickin god.
I think Yukari won the burn-off here.
Oh absolutely
She won from the first answer. Okina just went ragey by the last verse.
Gap battle...
When you see their almost similar power... The "gap" actually makes sense...
For some reason I was expecting Kasen to interrupt them
@Heather Holbrook They forced her to judge
she'd fit the bill, very critical nag

Kasen :"I swear,How these two become the Sages of Gensokyo is beyond me -_-"
Yukari: Those are some awfully big words coming from someone who had a whole manga series dedicated to themselves and still has a worse showing as a Sage of Gensoukyou than even Okina does.
Okina: Get back to us when you've reclaimed your former power and can compete with The Big Girls again, Ibaraki-chan.
@@GrahamChapman Kasen lost her power?
@@spritepepsiplushes8353 Kind of: A quite substantial amount of Kasen's power is contained in her severed arm. She willingly separated herself from it as it is her Oni power, which she's trying to get rid of in favour of gaining purer powers as a Sage. It's basically all a part of Kasen's philosophical agenda to put her nature and past as a monster behind her and find The Way to Heaven.
@@GrahamChapman Ahh, I didn't know the arm also contained her power, I thought it just had all the evil stored in it
@@spritepepsiplushes8353 I wouldn't exactly be going out on a limb (geddit ;D) if I said that the arm was single-handedly (geddit ;D) delivering Reimu a knuckle-sandwich (geddit ;D) even before Kasen showed up and gave it a hand (geddit ;D).

Great job on this by the way
i genuinely needed to pause and laugh cause that caught me off guard
well this one was unexpected
KoishiKomeiji11 almost as unexpected as finding you here ~ I’m just your friendly pillsbury dough boy
@@death2go539 well this certainly happened
Ow I think Okina hit a nerve when she referenced Maribel Hearn... That's so awesome!!
Made Yukari stop smiling with that line, she did. xD
💀💀💀💀
💀💀💀💀💀
I don't believe Maribel is what anyone says or thinks she is, Okina probably included.
Okay so it might sounds crazy but today I showed this video to my English teacher
For the context, I'm a French student (19 y.o.) and we're expected to have a really strong level in English now for our exams at the end of the year. Recently, I used in two exams the expression "it speaks volumes", and my teacher was rather impressed because this isn't an expression she is used to see from students, so she valued it. And I explained to her that the reason why I knew it and it felt so natural to use to me was because I had seen it used in a song that I have listened for 4-5 years. And it's just one example, but considering I've known most of your lyrics by heart for 4-5 years, I think it really helped me a lot to improve my English and learn more vocabulary considering, with Touhou, the songs can be about pretty much anything. You also made me discover Schrodinger's cat before studying it in Physics, or Theseus' ship which is always good to know too.
Tl;Dr : You actually helped me in school through your videos, as well as being just catchy songs to listen to and which made me discover the Touhou universe that I now love, hence why I wanted to thank you. :)
2:19 Yukari, you ARE singing your theme
That's her whole point
A neat headcannon i just thought of is Okina doing the teleports almost instinctually(it's straight up one of her inherent abilities) while Yukari learned by observing her and found a way to make her own portals
We need more Gap Battles of Gensokyo
That was amazing
Well, that’s a way to kick off HSiFS... interesting and pretty funny to see the two roasting each other :)
These duets are some of my favorite covers. There's a bit of a contrast between your tone and Lori's that makes them super interesting and fun to listen to. The two of you make a delightful combo together.
Another duet! Chock up another tally on the 'unexpected' board. I love how this laughs at the archaic concept of a 4th Wall.
At least I have more hope of a Sumeriko theme now (which.will hopefully be as memey as you mentioned it might be on Tumblr in a question about the 'Doggo' translation).
The 4th wall is a barrier... which Yukari has control over...so Yukari isn't affected by it
Well this was unexpected-!
*To be honest I too was a bit shocked when we got to know that Okina was one of the sages of gensokyo*
Besides that, I was not expecting any of this, yet I enjoyed it very happily, but I gotta say...
*damn it feels like your covers are coming out lighting fast*
Not complaining, at all, just a simple comment, keep up with the good work!
( ・⩌ ・)ﾉﾞ
"There's only one of us whose had a last word"
Okina: *stands up* Alright, I'm bouta Last Word yo ass.
Fantasy simulation hypothesis!
I think that Okina won. In my opinion, she had better arguments, but Yukari was awesome here too.
You're doing the best covers Lyrica-Senpai, Pandemonic Planet or Secret God Matara next, please ^°^
i would really like to see junko's theme with lyrics and hecatia's theme too
same
4th wall?
What the heck is that??
P.S. It's just joke :3
Nice to see Yukari back in action
I just realized… WE'RE the ones that got hit by the backdoor on the way out.
… These two little sunovab--*door gapped*
When Okina said that the lazy types of characters are out of season
Mind: Sans
Do you wanna have a bad time?
I was not expecting a rap battle. Even so, this is a brilliantly written, energetically performed song every bit as good as the rest of your repertoire.
"So don't let the back door hit you on your way out!" is the BEST line, I love it.
Probably my favorite part is when Okina threw Yukari's past humanity right in her face. That, to me, won her the battle - Okina is Matara-jin, god of secrets and a total mess of other things, including the Big Dipper (the very same constellation the Dragon God roosts in, making her his partner by default), whereas Yukari will always be a little girl who climbed her way up the food chain with guile and brute force.
Granted, in a pure slugfest, Yukari would probably win.
The fuck does guile mean english is my 2nd language
@@ilaydauygur932 "Guile" = skill/cunning, especially of a treacherous and/or deceitful sort.
That’s a self-pwn. What you’re saying is that Yukari had to _grind_ for her spot- she _earned_ the right to rest on her laurels. Meanwhile Okina didn’t have to put in any sort of work.
Same in a meta sense. Yukari earned her place in the pantheon. Okina doesn’t deserve to exist. >.>
Your Okina and Yukari's interpretation are good. I love this song and the lyrics.
I think the scary part is that Yukari can go "huehuehue...well thank you" to an insult directly at her face
Yay! Two videos in like... idk I'm not counting but it hasn't been long.
I'm certainly not complaining :D
Yukari won :D
Good job! I'd never expect something like this from you lol.
"Knockoff gap powers"
What, does Kasen also have gap magic? Do all the sages of Gensokyo have gap trolls up their sleeves?
Kasen opens the barrier in 14.5. So she sorta does. But I think Kasen should stop existing. She is kinda shit
She does have some kinda Portal-like portals that act like Yukari's gap. Y'know, the orange-blue circle that she used to throw her tiger at her opponent.
I need one of these with Chen vs Mike
While I might be misunderstanding some things, Okina is only a peer to Yukari in the sense that she can reshape Gensokyo’s landscape and power balance wholesale by herself. I’m pretty sure that’s part of what being a Sage of Gensokyo means, having the ability to completely upend it on a whim.
Yukari has the edge in terms of the quality of her power, having total control over all definable boundaries that exist. Okina has the quantity to match her though, being able to use her back doors as energy conduits to spontaneously create youkai. As in, she can conceivably start making youkai and just _not stop._ It’s as dangerous a use for her special power as anything Yukari typically does with hers.
There are actually plenty of implications in Okina's name and Spell Cards and stuff that she's THE Matarajin, complete with all the aspects and syncretism this would imply... And since that would, by extension, make her Ookuninushi/Daikoku/Shiva/Mahaakaala, Omononushi/Miwa Daimyoujin, Hata no Kawakatsu, Ugajin/Uga Benzaiten, Daikiniten/Inari, Ganesha, Koujin, Taizan Fukun, Shukujin, Ena-Tenjin/Ena-Kojin and _at least_ a handful of other gods as well as several of these gods' various incarnations, she may actually very well be Yukari's peer in just about every aspect...
I'd still argue that Yukari's ability to manipulate boundaries is more versatile than Okina's backdoors and life-force manipulation, but Okina may very well have quite a few abilities that she's keeping secret (much like how Yukari can do more than just manipulate boundaries, what with her basically being an arch-mage).
Plus, her many incarnations give her connections to almost every faction in Gensoukyou, and the few factions she doesn't have mythological connections to she seems intent on actively making connections with... E.g., roping Flandre and the Scarlet Devil Mansion into her extensive network in Gouyoku Ibun... All in all, if Gensoukyou faces a major threat one day, like an invasion from Hell or whatever, I expect Okina to be the one to rally Gensoukyou's forces and factions under one banner.
@@GrahamChapman true to be told i would feel more sorry for hell then gensokyo when hell attempts to invade
@@s24xuanzhengyu39 I mean, from what little we've seen of Hell and what its denizens are capable of, (Yachie has one of the scariest abilities to date imo,) I'd honestly give them a fair fighting chance... But, yeah, we do definitely have a better idea of Gensoukyou's capabilities, and they are very much not a bunch of Lunatics to be trifled with. Between the Yakumo clan, the Hata clan, Eientei, Hakugykurou, the Moriya Temple, the Buddhists, the Taoists, the SDM, the Oni, the Tengu, the Kappa, the Underground, and Y҉͉̦̙͙̣͇̮ṳ̤̙̺͙u̡͝k̞̻̭͙̲̹͢a҉̤̠̜͔̲ ̺͚͡K̸̤̣̜̜̥ạ̴̫̥͓̘̯͔z҉͘͠a҉̱̳m͚̯̘̪̲i͔͕͎͕̗̪͘, Hell would be fighting an uphill battle, and not only because Gensoukyou's factions have the geographical upper ground.
Awesome as Always ^^
Rap Battle, it was a fantastic idea for the two characters
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!
Too epic! Can't comprehend! Failing to breathe! Gah!
I was expecting...SOmething else to be honest, but this was really good too!Keep up the great work you both!
2:49
okina says "the more the merrier", a picture of merry is shown
Quite clever of you Lyrica.
Wow that Maribel Hearn reference... I feel like it's something that would trigger canon Yukari...
i'm actually not sure about who's side i'm on. Really impressive and unforeseen! Love it Lyrica!
2:39 is my favorite burn in this song bsjdhdjsjfjd
Eh, that's a pretty weak and superficial (not to mention hypocritical) burn imo... I mean, have you seen images of Matarajin?
www.kinokuniya.co.jp/images/goods/ar2/web/imgdata2/large/43092/4309224946.jpg
Imo, ZUN did a pretty good job at adapting Matarajin's clothes for Okina while emphasizing her connection to the Big Dipper.
gosh. this one made me laugh a lot just from the premise. lyrica live and rap battles is such a... combination to think of. what. hello???
Both did well
Can't decide who won
Finally, it's here! I love it.
Again a great work !
The concept of gap battles is nice. I remember Marisa's song on Reimu theme !
Even with Okina actually having ONE last word, Yukari has TWO(Counting AOCF's Teke-Teke LW), so Yukari still wins on Last Words.
Edit: I'm forgetting the ones on Imperishable Night, so yeah, Yukari really stacks in Last Words. A whole vocabulary of them.
There's no real need for multiple Last Words since they're already extremely powerful and you'd only use one Last Word at best per fight so really, Yukari is just going out of her way to flex on others "Hey take a look at my dictionary of Last Words"
This was pretty awesome and unexpected keep up the good work lyrica live.
Oh my ! That was really good ! I loved it ^^ Your lyrics are always so brilliant, it fits well in a rap battle !
Okina just has that i cant be defeated charm
"No one is above Yukari"
Hmm, I remember a certain yama and a certain hell goddess who might want to correct that.
Hearing that from a Sans made me feel comforted so hard.
'YAMA IS THE LAW'.
Hell, Eirin made a spell that Yukari could not break nor decipher. Yukari was outclassed real quick. She just shows up everywhere to flex on everyone. I actually find Okina a better character because unlike Yukari who screams bland manipulating bitch, Oki is a parody of the stereotype.
It's unknown if Eiki is stronger than Yukari since the quote people tend to refer to with that is vague and could either be about her, Yuyuko and Reimu's chances of beating Eiki in a battle, or any of them being able to win an argument with her... Regardless, Yukari has all but stated outright that she's stronger than the Yama "in cunning." As for Hecatia, well, she's most certainly more powerful than Yukari, but once again we don't really know if she could outsmart Yukari... 'cuz, let's be honest; the most dangerous part of Yukari isn't her omnyoudou or her boundary manipulation, it is, and will always be, her intelligence.
@@GrahamChapman "intelligence" Yukari has only really been asspull. Like, Eiki is stated to be so powerful and intelligent that the 4 big girls by 2005 can team up and lose easily. Yukari has been outsmarted by Eirin, Okina, Komachi, Kasen and Tenshi. Her intelligence isn't really that impressive. Yukari has plot
@@jouheikisaragi6075 How exactly has she "only really been asspull"?
No, like I said; the statement peope refer to when they say that Eiki is so powerful (and intelligent? really? you gotta be the first person to ever make _that_ claim) that the main THREE big girls, not four, by 2005 could team up and lose easily is ambiguous. Yeah, it could be referring to her being just that powerful, but it could also be refering to the fact that there's no point in arguing with her since she'll have the final say in matters anyway... And on the "intelligence" account, I'll shoot you down outright by referring you to the exchange between Sakuya and Yukari in Sakuya's PCB Extra scenario... Regardless of whether Eiki is more powerful than Yukari or not, Yukari still does not fear the Yama, least of all intelligence-wise.
Yukari was outsmarted by Eirin once, more than 1000 years in the past, and yet Yukari still won since she got exactly what she wanted that time, too. I'd say she's paid Eirin back with interest now, considering that she's left Eirin scarred for life... As for Okina, Komachi, Kasen and Tenshi? Really? When did they _outsmart_ Yukari?
If Yukari isn't all that impressive, then I guess you know a lot of people who've put the fear of the unknown into a god/dess of knowledge, huh? As for "Yukari has plot"? How is that not a non-argument? How, in _any_ work of fiction, does _anyone_ have _anything_ but plot going for them? Hulk doesn't have strength, he has plot. Yagami Light and L aren't smart, they have plot. Ford Prefect doesn't have a towel, he has plot.
Isn't it ironic you rejected the God of the rejected? No surprise your faith in her sneaked in through the back door.
GODDAMN THIS IS SO FUNNY AND BEAUTIFULLY DONE LOL
I LOVE HOW OKINA CALLED YUKARI "NASTY" AND SHE SAID LAUGHED AND SAID THANK YOU
OH MY GOD LOL THIS WAS SO FUNNY AND CREATIVE
I LOVE IT
yukari won
like she just roasted okina with all that "lol you're ripping off a few certain someones > v o"
Well, to be fair, Matarajin was a god that ripped off of many, many other gods, too, sssooo... And that's not all bad, either. You know under what other names Matarajin was known as? Okuninushi/Daikokuten, Miwa Daimyoujin and Hata no Kawakatsu... Okuninushi/Daikokuten is known for having saved The White Hare of Inaba, being the original owner of the Miracle Mallet and the friend of a very, very small god by the name Sukuna Hikona, as well as the father of Take-Minakata (Kanako's inspiration). Hata no Kawakatsu was a friend of Prince Shoutoku, (Toyosatomimi no Miko,) who commissioned Kawakatsu to invent 66 dances using 66 masks (Kokoro) after which Kawakatsu became the deified god of Noh Theatre. On top of all this, Matarajin was also known as the Yama's secretary... So yeah, Okina may look like she's ripping off a few other people, 'cuz she probably is, but she also has ties to almost every single faction in Gensoukyou and almost every single title in the Touhou Project series. (TH7: A fellow sage alongside Yukari, TH8: Personal acquaintance with Tewi, TH9: The Yama's secretary, TH10: Kanako's "dad", TH12: Guardian of the Dharma and the teachings Buddhism, TH13: Friend of Miko, TH13.5: Basically Kokoro's mom, TH14: The original owner of Shinmyoumaru's Miracle Mallet and friend of her ancestor, TH15: Arch-enemy of the Lunarians, TH17: First boss is Ebisu, one of Daikokuten's fellow members of the Seven Lucky Gods.)
Edit: And then she went out of her way to rope in TH6: Flandre's benefactor and fellow goddess of destruction.
@@GrahamChapman jesus christ man, this comment was mainly a joke but thanks for the text wall. Seriously I was not expecting this lol
@@inactive_ina Nobody expects the guy paying homage to the guy playing the mill worker in the Spanish Inquisition skit! I bet Kogasa would be sooo jealous of me right now... But yeah, after having read up about her source of inspiration, I gotta say that Okina is a seriously interesting character, and I'm almost a bit disappointed that more doujin/fanwork creators haven't latched on to her already. I mean, you can see the immense potential she has just by way of her tangental involvement, right? Hell, I'm almost kinda sitting here wondering if ZUN has secretly been setting up for Okina's eventual reveal ever since Imperishable Night...
The way Yukari immediately backed out when Merry got brought up LOL
Quite appropriate for the Secret Goddess of that which is Hidden to know about Yukari's most hidden secret.
This was...different, but *really* interesting to listen to.
Many, MANY roasts from the mouths of two Youkai Sages.
Aaaaa this is so good!
Not what I expected to be unexpected,
well still good.
Holy fuck!! Yukari throwing SHADE!!!!
Wow, pretty voice you have got! I got an suitable request that sync on you lyrica, you just have to sing clownpiece theme: star splanged banner. If you did, I would give you 5 stars about it.
Thanks. 💗
Finally! Your originality is legendary!
But wait! Okina was salty because she was roasted?
(Btw, Zun said that Hecatia was like the strongest character... But who cares! Yukari can be such a great character!)
Well, Hecatia is the strongest in the series overall, but that doesn't exactly stop these two from fighting over who has the bigger influence in Gensokyo specifically.
@@accelriderx2931 Yeah... #TeamYukari
He didn't say Hecatia is the strongest, just that she can't play by the spell card rules. All that shows is that she can't restrict herself, not that she's stronger than those who can
@@spritepepsiplushes8353 Really? I guess I just misenterpreted.
Didn't he said that no one in the moon or gensokyo is a challenge for her or something like? I thought it was because as a godess of hell, she has infinite faith due to sinners and such. Or the fact that her true essense is in Hell, so you are never actually defeating her, only 1 of her physical bodies...
@@Tulipia5 I don't really know myself, I'm just saying that the proof they have of her being the strongest doesn't prove much
The fourth wall breaks... :)
Trust me, if their positions had been swapped and Okina appeared in a Touhou game first, Yukari wouldn't have nearly as much popularity as she does now. Newcomers always have a rough time because we've got someone to negatively compare them to.
Nah, bullshit. Yukari has personality and symbolism. All Okina has is stock anime smugness.
@@Dreigonix Smugness, that I agree, but I feel “all” is really reductive. Okina also has personality and symbolism, y’know.
@@Kaguyahime375 Well, it doesn’t exactly shine through.
I will say, though- one thing I actually like about Okina, and the reason she’s sitting down all the time, is that she was originally planned to be in a wheelchair, as a statement about how sometimes disabled people can be some of the strongest people you know. Sadly that didn’t make it into her final design- honestly, if it had, I think it would’ve elevated her a lot for me; the idea that this is someone who struggled and overcame her setbacks and _earned_ her omnipotence.
@@Dreigonix I think it does shine through relatively well on her game of debut and Usami’s Grimoire, but doesn’t exactly shine through on 16.5 and 17.5 since she's just playing roles without any of her previous nuance. Oh, those make up for two of her four appearances so far, so r.i.p. Ying versus yang. Good versus bad. xD
T’is, I just really agree? A powerful character being disabled is already seldom heard of. Imagine then, a character as omnipotent and proud as Okina? Would mean the world to me and so many people. He does seem to be playing with the idea a bit as of late, though, with the embodiment of disability and the deliberate wheelchair thing which’s great but could’ve been better. All in all; retract all your statements and give us impaired Okina, ZUN! (Poor guy.) ...Ah, I think the italics on earned are where I disagree again! Okina is a god, shouldn’t have to earn her omnipotence. As someone who’ve read her fair share of Kōjiki, I’ll tell: these do NOT mess around. ZUN could have Kanako defeating thousands of demon troops on the next mainline game or something and I’d clap for the mythological accuracy. Actually this might be the reason behind me not negatively minding Okina much. I read the kanji of her name and immediately accepted any Mary Sueish display of power thrown my way. "This the kind of deity ZUN trying to adapt?"
0:30 You're sounding like Jo'on here, Okina.
Ok let me school you for a second. You’re Saying that Okina is trying to Replace Yukari in terms of power? Well if you know touhou then you know Yukari was also a replacement of someone. Someone who originated from PC-98.
I don't really see what you're going for here. Because I don't exactly remember anyone in PC-98 having a position similar to those two. And nearly everyone from PC-98 had already lost their influence in the series by the time Yukari showed up and she's still pretty active by the time Okina starts calling her shots.
Thank you for your input, Vince Timothy Tongol.
Accel Rider X read the description. And the person I’m referring to is Yuuka Kazami
@@Latency345 Uuuhhh... I'm _quite_ certain that Yukari was never intended as a replacement for Yuuka... Especially since, well, you know, Yuuka appeared as a playable character in TH9...
Yuuka was just a random powerful youkai from a dream world. Meanwhile, Yukari and the other sages are that and also important. It's really no comparison.
"... As I build our great wall."
What?????

I feel... happy, dunno why, but I`m Happy
I love okina sorry yukari .
Welp we got gap battles in Gensokyo now
*Headcanon*
Okina - Hakurei Goddess.
Sadly, no. Oki is based on Matarajin. An actual God irl.
That's funny, my current hypothesis puts Yukari in that slot.
@@LilyKazami nah. The Hakurei God is a man and he *hates* Reimu's idiotic incompetence

"You may have two stages, but I'm on another level" is the best burn in the song (among many good ones). Yukari is a step beyond even an Extra Boss.

EPIC ---GAP BATTLES OF GENSOKYo
OKINA VS YUKARI
FIGHT
Why would you?...
This is too good
Now I Want Lyrics of Okina Extra Stage theme Aka The Touhou 17.5 Remix of her theme it goes way way to hard
Sorry Okina, going to side with Yukari here.
That burn on her last verse ("And I recognize your sense of style from last year's lunar mission")
was really powerful.
Was it really tho? I mean, like Okina herself said; Yukari is _hardly_ in a position to accuse others of ripping their style from others since she and Maribel share the same wardrobe (possibly even literally in a way)... :/
@@GrahamChapman The Merry reference was _brutal_ and the way Yukari’s smile just dropped after it registered scored Okina some major points.
I still think Yukari won this though. She got Okina to break form first with the “apprentice” line, and didn’t interrupt Okina’s “Merry” response, though she did sound snappish in her counter.
Overall, Yukari kept a brisk rhythm going, got Okina to show weakness first, and didn’t rise to the return bait. Lost a little for Okina’s answer to the “Last Word” jab, but Yukari actually has two, so I’m ruling it in her favor.
@@nathanielburkett9400 It's kind of appropriate that the Goddess of Noh Theatre would cause a bit more of a scene at something that got under her skin, isn't it? xD
While I agree with you that Yukari may have been ahead of Okina in the dissing part of the rap battle, (which is kind of appropriate, given that youkai exist to antagonize,) I personally I feel that Okina got more points in regards to the bragging parts of it: The more you know about Matarajin, the more you realize how brilliant Okina's first verse is... The brags sound generic to the unknowing ear, but that's almost a necessity to keep Okina in character with her position as a Secret God: Even in the games themselves you only get a bit of information about who Okina really is, and most of it is really subtle (on the level that the biggest clues are stuff like Spell Card names and the kanji that make up her name).
We need more rap battle please xD Kasen being a 3rd sage probably chilling while watching the 2 duke it out xD
Who wins?
You decide !
Okina
I cant keep up with the new characters touhou makes
I always have a favourite line in your songs. This time its 01:45
But it rly was a close call with 02:02
Looking back on this vid, I am now finding it more and more amusing Okina's similarities with Yukari, considering her suspicious and strange involvement with the recent sidegames
2:14
Make Gensokyo Great Again!
Best rap in history! I love it
Out of all the duets you and Lori did, this must be the only one where the character whose theme the song is was voiced by Lori, which also makes it the biggest spotlight you gave Lori in a song until now. There's no better example for her talent than this one.
Okina has been proven and is generally agreed to be stronger than Yukari. Just saying desc.
But Yukari literally can't be killed and can just erase anything she wants from existence by manipulating it's border of existing and not existing she can literally erase all of existence if she wanted to but that would technically erase her because she is what defines existence
And where was it mentioned or agreed?
Thats why people Who are interested in the lore hate these Power comparisons because they are so vague. We dont even know the Limits of some chars or how some abilitys work.
