Sagume Kishin (稀神サグメ Kishin Sagume) is a Lunarian and Goddess.
General Information
Sagume appeared as the Stage 4 midboss and Boss in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.
Abilities
- Reversing a situation with her words
When she speaks about a particular situation or event, that situation will eventually proceed to reverse itself, through whatever means possible. If she speaks about an attempt to achieve a goal, it will fail in some way. If she speaks about something bad occurring, it will be resolved in some way. Due to this, she tends to not speak too much and always chooses her words carefully. Note that it is the situation or the event she talks about that will be reversed in some manner; it is not that the opposite of what she says must occur.
In Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, Sagume had thought of a backup plan to move the Lunar Capital to Gensokyo in case Junko's actions eventually forced the Lunarians to leave their temporary refuge in the Dream World. However, when the player shows up to take care of Junko, Sagume realizes her opportunity to help save the Lunar Capital. By talking to the player about their plan to invade Gensokyo, her ability ensures that the plan will not come to fruition. By doing so, Sagume bets on the likelihood that the reason they will not end up relocating to Gensokyo is because the player will in fact save the Lunar Capital. By talking to the player directly, she forced the situation to reverse around them.
- Occult Balls
Using her powers, Sagume created a secret occult ball. It had the power to change the world by using people's words, and merely being near it would cause false rumors, such as urban legends, to materialize. Although it was just insurance, the plan was to use it to materialize the Lunar Capital in Gensokyo by spreading rumors about NASA hiding the truth about what they saw on the Moon. This also caused numerous lesser urban legends to materialize, starting the events of Urban Legend in Limbo. It is currently in possession of Marisa Kirisame.[1]
Species
Other than being a lunarian, Sagume can "tentatively" be classified as a divine spirit, but it is said that her true nature isn't that of a god, an oni, or a departed soul. She is also considered a type of amanojaku.[2]
Background Information
Name
Her last name, Kishin (稀神), means "rare god". It differs from kishin (鬼神), which means "oni god" and the Kijin in Seija Kijin (鬼人), which means "oni human" and forms a part of her and Seija's species, amanojaku.[3]
Origin
Sagume may be based in part on Ame-no-Sagume (天探女), who is thought to be the basis of amanojaku folklore.
Design
Sagume has short, light grey hair, red eyes, and a single wing on her back. The back of her hair has a braid, seen in Forbidden Scrollery. She wears a purple dress, the bottom of which is cut into an arrow pattern, with a red microphone bowtie, a tan jacket, and brown shoes.

Additional Information
- In most of her spell card and non-spell card attacks, she makes a lot of use of the flying yin-yangs, a mysterious stage enemy that re-occurs in the Touhou Project, as well as being primarily the only enemy of her stage.
- Even though she has a "defeated" sprite in the game's code, it is never used; after battle, she still uses the "undamaged" sprites used earlier on.

Stage 4 Boss - The Goddess who Invites Unfortunate Slips of the Tongue Sagume Kishin Species: Lunarian A resident of the Moon. She doesn't usually talk much, but this is a result of her ability. Should she try to accomplish something, it will end in failure, To avoid the encroachment of impurity from Junko's attack, the sages of the Moon froze the Lunar Capital. However, they certainly couldn't stay cooped up in the Dream World forever. Thus, the sages proposed the "Lunar Capital Transfer Plan" as insurance. The "Lunar Capital Transfer Plan" was to purify Gensokyo and build a new capital there. She thought that the spread of a particular urban legend in Gensokyo would make a good shortcut. When the urban legends began to materialize, she simply had to wait That famous urban legend was the "Apollo Project Coverup Theory." ...however, this plan was no more than insurance. It was then that one of Gensokyo's humans arrived. I'll place my bet on this human, she thought. |
