Sekibanki (赤蛮奇) is a rokurokubi living undercover as a human in the Human Village.

General Information

Sekianki is a Rokurokubi that dwells in the Human Village in disguise as a human. Sekibanki is the Stage 2 Mid-Boss and Boss in Double Dealing Character.

Character Design

Origin

Although she's referred to as a rokurokubi in-game, Sekibanki has a few different inspirations. In Japanese folklore, a rokurokubi is a youkai that can stretch its neck to great extents. There's also a type of youkai called a nukekubi, which can remove its head completely. Although it may seem like Sekibanki is based exclusively on the nukekubi, she still does have the elongated neck of a rokurokubi (best seen in her spell card Neck Sign "Close-Eye Shot"). ZUN also uses the term 'Dullahan' as a translation or close approximation of her species' name in English.

Name

Sekibanki (赤蛮奇) is spelled with the characters for "red", "barbarian", and "anomaly". The characters are read using their on'yomi, or Chinese readings, unlike with most Touhou Project characters. The second character, ban (), is likely taken from hitouban (飛頭蛮), which is a Chinese youkai equivalent to the rokurokubi.

Design

Sekibanki has red hair and eyes. She wears a blue bow with red trimmings and a red and blue capelet that covers part of her face. She also wears a black and red long sleeved shirt, as well as a dark red skirt and red and black boots. When she's defeated, her portrait with a slash in her skirt show that she wears a white undershirt.

Impossible Spell Card

Presumably from hearing or seeing a wanted sign about the mischief-making amanojaku Seija Kijin, Sekibanki appears to be one of the many youkai that tries to capture her. She uses spell cards that are considered impossible to dodge.

Additional Information

  • In folklore, nukekubi are said to have symbols on their neck where the head detaches, revealing their identity - which may explain Sekibanki's choice to wear a capelet to cover her neck.

Fandom

  • When Double Dealing Character was first announced, due to only seeing a small screenshot of Sekibanki where there was one of Sakuya Izayoi's knives next to her, some fans mistakenly speculated that she was either holding a large hammer or a sword.
  • After the demo was released, she has been the subject of two main jokes: one being her head getting used like a ball and another having her head be a Yukkuri.
  • Sekibanki is also compared to Nadia Fortune, Mami Tomoe and Celty, from Skullgirls, Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Durarara!!, respectively due to obvious circumstances.

Species: Rokurokubi
Ability: Ability to make her head fly

A youkai who lives in the Human Village, taking the guise of a human.
Her ability to make her head fly is convenient in various ways.

Her personality is slightly prideful, and she's recalcitrant towards both humans and youkai.
It seems she takes a somewhat cynical view of things.

The previous summer, the religious leaders had been causing riots in the Human Village.
While the humans and youkai had been rising up, though, she was living quietly by herself,
viewing the fads in a negative light.

However, this time, she went berserk for some reason.

She was affected by the Miracle Mallet's magic power, became ferocious,
and was punished by Reimu and company.

She's behaving herself once again by now.
