Yuyuko Saigyouji (西行寺 幽々子 Saigyouji Yuyuko) is the ghost 'princess' head of Hakugyokurou in the Netherworld. She first appeared as the stage 6 boss in Perfect Cherry Blossom and appeared in several subsequent works as well.

General Information

Unlike many departed spirits, she resembles a living human. She is very cheerful and friendly: Her playful, good-humored personality, otherworldly beauty, and courtesan charm can have a disarming effect. She often makes bizarre and apparently nonsensical remarks and sometimes seems to overlook the obvious, leading to her characterization as an airhead or a ditz. As an instance, in Bougetsushou, she toyed with Youmu as a daily occurrence even with Ran Yakumo present.
However, at other times she will reveal an extremely cunning and perceptive side and will also sometimes display an extraordinary level of knowledge. For instance, in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she was the quickest one to identify the culprit as Tenshi Hinanawi when the incident was in the omen stage (Yukari Yakumo spoke of the dwindling of phantoms as Komachi Onozuka's negligence, but Yuyuko guessed correctly). Additionally, in Ten Desires, she obliquely informed the playable character about the location of the incident regarding the divine spirits. She is also known for her incredible appetite and seems to have a food-related metaphor for any situation: Yuyuko is truly "dead and loving it".

Character Basis

Name

Her surname Saigyouji (西行寺, lit. ""West journey temple"") obviously comes from her motif as a daughter of the famous Japanese poet Saigyō Hōshi (西行 法師) but adding an extra kanji ji () at the end. Her first name Yuyuko (幽々子) actually doesn't have much meaning but can be literally translated to "ghostly child" or "ghost ghost child". The -ko is a common suffix in Japanese that is used in female names which literally means "child". The symbol is used in the Japanese main title of Perfect Cherry Blossom (東方妖). "" is often confused as being a kanji, but it's actually a punctuation mark that indicates to repeat the previous letter, thus her name is equivalent to "幽幽子".

Design

Attention: This section is a stub and it needs expanding with more information related to the section's topic. If you can add to it in any way, please do so. You may improve one (or more) of the following points:
  • Needs to be a normal paragraph
  • Maroon eyes, short wavy pink hair, normally surrounded by several small formless phantoms. Wears a light blue and white kimono with dark blue trim and white designs, and a blue mob cap on the front of which is a hitaikakushi with a red ghost insignia.
  • (Touhou 7) Same as above, except hat has a light blue veil on the back, the designs on her kimono are of flowers, and one of the phantoms around her carries a cherry blossom twig. Generally, this palette is lighter than the rest.
  • (Touhou 8) Same as above, except the floral designs on her dress have been replaced with clouds and moon designs. One of the phantoms now carries a small blue lantern.
  • (Touhou 7.5) Same as above, except designs on kimono are of butterflies and flowers, and the phantoms no longer carry anything. Has a light blue veil on the back of her mob cap.
  • (Touhou 7.5, alternate outfit) Kimono is dark blue with white trim instead of light blue with pink trim. Her hair is brown instead of pink. The ghost insignia on her hat is blue instead of red.
  • (Touhou 10.5) Same as 7.5, except her hair is slightly longer and her veil is more white than blue.
  • (Touhou 10.5, alternate outfit) Same as above, except her kimono is white with blue trim instead of light blue with light pink trim. Her hitaikakushi is blue with a yellow ghost insignia instead of white and red. Her eyes are now golden and her hair is blonde.
  • (Touhou 13) Hair is a paler shade of pink. Her kimono is still a light, pale blue, but the designs on her kimono are of ghosts. The ribbon around her waist, the one going down her kimono, and the bands and lacing on her arms and collar are black instead of white and blue. Wearing a transparent layer underneath. Her mob cap lacks the veil it had in 7, 7.5, and 10.5. Her hitaikakushi's insignia has changed shape. She is wearing black shoes and folded socks, unlike her previous frilly socks.

Story

Perfect Cherry Blossom

During the events of Perfect Cherry Blossom, she made Youmu Konpaku find a way to make the Saigyou Ayakashi bloom to resurrect the corpse buried beneath it, apparently unaware that it was her own body. Forced to abandon her plan due to obstruction by Reimu and the gang, she resigned herself to continuing her existence as a ghost.

Youmu Konpaku

Youmu is Yuyuko's gardener, bodyguard and fencing instructor. Youmu is unquestioningly loyal to her master, though she has a hard time understanding Yuyuko's riddles.

Youki Konpaku

Youki is Youmu's predecessor, who taught Youmu all that she knows. He also knew the full story of Yuyuko's connection to the Saigyou Ayakashi even after Yuyuko herself had forgotten. Yuyuko found him harder to rely on than Youmu.

Yukari Yakumo

Yuyuko has been friends with Yukari since before her death, and is one of the few people who can see through her plans.

Additional Information

Yuyuko's different color palettes from Touhou Hisoutensoku. The 2nd one corresponds to her second color palette in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, while the 3rd one corresponds to her Immaterial and Missing Power palette.

Fandom

  • Following Imperishable Night, Yuyuko became famous as a "hungry ghost" due to several "gluttonous" lines uttered during her scenario. She is often depicted in doujinshi as having an immense appetite and/or attempting to eat other characters, most notably Mystia and Youmu's ghost-half.
  • The symbol on Yuyuko's hitaikakushi resembles the Sega Dreamcast logo. Many fanworks make fun of this.
    • As of Ten Desires, it has changed however.
  • She is sometimes depicted in fan-works as having had brown or black hair when she was alive. This is because her Perfect Memento in Strict Sense entry mentions that she is said to have lighter hair color and skin tone since her death.
  • As soon as she appeared as a first boss, people started making comments that she has become 町人A (Chounin A) or "Merchant A," a typical designation in battles against small-fry enemies in RPG games, like "Merchant A," "Merchant B," etc.
  • It is never stated exactly how she committed suicide but some fan works often show her committing suicide with a knife (this is shown in the flash video True Blossom).
    • While generally not seen in fan works due to the difficulty of depicting it, another common fan theory is that Yuyuko used her ability to invoke death on herself.
      • Going along with the above, sometimes the Saigyou Ayakashi's trunk is sometimes shown in the aftermath as being stained in the blood spatter of said suicide
  • Some fanart depicts Yukari Yakumo as having been present when Yuyuko commited suicide, or right after she did. In some cases, Yukari is then shown grieving.
  • Most derivative works do not depict the phantoms around her, probably because it is bothersome to depict. However, since they have always been depicted in print works such as Silent Sinner in Blue, they are probably 100% necessary.
    • Some derivative works depict Yuyuko as having two "myons", presumably as being the phantoms, although there is a difference.
  • Various fanworks have the giant fan seen in some of Yuyuko's PCB spell cards appear as a sign of her readying to maim someone, often someone who made her angry (not an easy feat given her easygoing personality). Sometimes this is parodied by having her require wires or frameworks to hold up the fan, which are prone to collapsing.
  • Because the symbol doesn't exist in the proper Chinese language, her name is usually written as 西行寺幽幽子 in the Chinese community.

Official Profiles

Perfect Cherry Blossom - キャラ設定.txt
Yuyuko Saigyouji PCB  ○幽冥楼閣の亡霊少女

  西行寺 幽々子(さいぎょうじ・ゆゆこ)

  ラスボス、伝統ある西行寺家のお嬢様、今は亡霊の姫である。
  主に死を操る程度の能力を持つ。

  その昔、幻想郷には一人の歌聖が居た。歌聖は自然を愛し死ぬまで旅してまわったという。自分の死期を悟ると、己の願い通り最も見事な桜の木の下で永遠の眠りについた。

  それ以来その桜はますます見事に咲き誇り、多くの人を魅了し、多くの人が永遠の眠りについた。そうした死の魅力を持つ桜は、いつしか妖力を持つようになっていたのだ。


  それから千年余り経った。

  西行寺家にはいわく付きの妖怪桜「西行妖(さいぎょうあやかし)」がある。この桜は、幽々子がここに来てから、どんな春になっても、開花する事は無かったのだ。

  ある日、幽々子はいつもの様に書見を楽しんでいると、書架から古い記録を発見した。それには、何時の物とも分らぬ記述で、

    「富士見の娘、西行妖満開の時、幽
    明境を分かつ(死んだという事)、
    その魂、白玉楼中で安らむ様、
    西行妖の花を封印しこれを持って結
    界とする。願うなら、二度と苦しみ
    を味わうことの無い様、永久に転生
    することを忘れ・・・」


  と書かれていた。
  幽々子は、西行妖の封印を解き、花を満開にすることが出来れば何者かが復活すると考え、興味本位で春度を集めることにした。

  本来、冥界に存在するものは殆ど霊体である。その為彼女は、冥界の西行妖の下に眠るとされる亡骸に疑問と興味を持ち、それでその封印を解こうと考えた。彼女は普段、人や妖怪を死に誘う事しか出来ない。その彼女が初めて死者を復活させようとしているのである。


  庭師の妖夢の懸命の努力により西行妖以外の桜は満開になっていて、西行妖も花が開きかけていた。あと一押しというところで、元々狭い幻想郷の春はほぼ尽きてしまう。

  そこに、僅かの春を持った人間が訪れるとは誰も予想してなかった。

  そして、残りの春を手に入れるために闘うこととなる。



  しかし幽々子は、普段の生活に安らみ過ぎた為か、はたまた、記録が余りに古い文献だった為か、文中にあった亡くなった娘というのが、自分の事だということに、最後まで気付かなかったのである。

  元々、幽々子は死霊を操る程度の人間だった。それがいつしか、死に誘う程度の能力を持つ様になり、簡単に人を死に追いやる事が出来るようになっていった。彼女はその自分の能力を疎い自尽した。

  亡霊になってからは、生前の事等すっかり忘れ、それはもう死に誘う事を楽しむようになっていたのだから世話も無い。

  幽 々子が転生も消滅もせずに楼中に留まっているのも、西行妖の封印があるためである。この結界が解けたとたん、止まっていた時間は止め処なく流れることにな り、それは、再び幽々子の死に繋がる。自分を復活させることも白玉楼にいる自分の消滅にも繋がる為、復活は寸前で失敗するのは当然である。

  やはり幽々子は死を操ることしか出来ないのだ。

  唯一そのことを知る先代魂魄妖忌は、半分人間という性質上ゆっくり年を取り、妖夢に幽々子の事を伝えたつもりで消えた。

  何時までも幽々子は、冥界のお姫様として、死に絶えた西行寺家のお嬢様として暮すのである。

    幽々子が西行妖の開花を見ることは、決して無い。

Bourei girl in the Netherworld Tower

Yuyuko Saigyouji

Final boss, formerly the mistress of old Saigyouji clan, currently the bourei princess.
Mainly she possesses the ability to manipulate death.

Long ago, there was a divinely talented poet in Gensokyo. He loved nature and spent most of his time traveling. When he became aware that the hour of his death drew near, he chose to begin his eternal rest under the most beautiful cherry tree he could find..

That cherry tree has grown even more beautiful since then, charming many people into resting in peace beneath its blossoms. The tree with the mortuary charm developed the powers of a youkai after a while.

A thousand years have passed.

In the garden of the Saigyouji clan, there exists a youkai cherry blossom with a story behind it; it is called the Saigyou Ayakashi. For as long as Yuyuko had been there, this cherry tree has never bloomed, even in spring.

One day, while browsing through the library as usual, Yuyuko found an old record. It looked so old that it was practically ageless; within it, the following was written...

"The girl who bears witness to death, at the time of the Saigyou Ayakashi's full bloom, shall be bound by mortality. So that her soul may rest in peace within Hakugyokurou, I will seal the cherry blossoms, and make it the barrier. My wish... is that she will never again reincarnate, and never again suffer pain..."

Yuyuko had read that breaking the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi, making it bloom fully, would cause a certain someone to be resurrected; she started gathering spring's essence out of curiosity.

Basically, almost everything in the netherworld exists as spirit bodies. It is for that reason that she wondered about the corpse lying under the Saigyou Ayakashi with great interest, going as far as to consider breaking the seal. Her ability only enables her invite people to their death. Bringing life to something already dead would be a first.

Thanks to an all-out effort put forth by Youmu, the gardener, every cherry blossom bloomed perfectly; every cherry blossom except for the Saigyou Ayakashi, which still bordered on blooming. By that point, Gensokyo's spring had almost been completely drained.

No one would have imagined that a living human, bearing a tiny drop of spring, would visit.

A battle for that last remaining bit of spring ensued...


Perhaps it was because of her carefree afterlife, or maybe the record had aged beyond recognition, but Yuyuko ultimately failed to realize that the girl who was written about in the record... was herself.

In the beginning, Yuyuko only possessed the ability to manipulate departed souls. Unconsciously, that power grew stronger, that eventually she possessed the ability to invite others to death. Terrified by her own ability, she committed suicide.

After becoming a bourei, she thoroughly forgot everything about the time she was alive, and started to enjoy being able to invoke death.

The reason Yuyuko can neither reincarnate nor vanish is because of the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi. Once the boundary is breached, the time that was frozen will continue to flow, resulting in her death again. Reviving the corpse will destroy Yuyuko's bourei, so it's no wonder that the near-success of the revival ended in inevitable failure.

After all, Yuyuko is not able to manipulate anything but death.

The only person who knew the whole story, Youki Konpaku, grew slowly older due to the nature of half-humans, and disappeared with the belief that Youmu could inherit the truth about Yuyuko.

For all time, Yuyuko will remain as the princess of Netherworld and mistress of long-dead Saigyouji clan.

She shall never bear witness to the blooming of the Saigyou Ayakashi.

   性格は何を考えているのか判らなく、かなり困った行動を取る。真面目な性格の妖夢は、このお嬢様に振り回されっぱなしである。でも実は幻想郷の外のこの国を心から愛する愛国者である。

   生前も没後も体術の心得は余り無く、亡霊らしくふわふわしている。
  動きも全体的にしなやかに動き、曲線が多い。何を考えているのか判らないつかみ所が無い攻撃は、気が付いたらいつの間にかやられていると感じてしまう。


The Bourei of Flawless Immaculate Beauty
Saigyouji Yuyuko

Species: Bourei
Location: Hakugyokurou in the Netherworld
Ability: Manipulating death

A cheerful bourei maiden who won't go to Heaven and lives in the Netherworld. She can't remember when she died, because she's been dead for a long time. The reason why she can't rest in peace is that she must have left her regret in the human world.

She's so carefree that she often acts tricky. Because of this, the straightforward Youmu is always troubled by this princess. But to tell the truth, she loves this nation outside of Gensokyo from the bottom of her heart.

She's not good at physical attacks before and after death. Like other bourei, she's always floating. She moves smoothly like a curve. You'll find yourself being defeated all of a sudden since her attack is too mysterious.

*Dreaming Bourei, Yuyuko Saigyouji

She exists in the netherworld as a bourei maiden.
She can manipulate death, and she has been existing as a bourei since ancient times.
It is said that experiencing death in Gensokyo is strangely cheerful in many cases.
And she is also a cheerful bourei, too.
Moreover, she may occasionally utter reckless words and act spontaneously, may be actually cunning and may be really stupid.
When she passed away, she may have forgotten one important thing.

Her favorite weapon is the Phantom Butterflies. She uses it as an indiscriminate attack, because she doesn't consider the situation at hand at all.

Notes
She teams up with Youmu Konpaku in this title.
Normal speed only applies when she is used as a solo character.
Her missile's wide shot is easy to use, it can attack in almost all angles, if an enemy doesn't appear from behind.
However, it's inferior in destructive power. If you want something stronger, let's consider changing to Youmu.
Recommended for players who don't consider at all.

Yuyuko is a bourei princess who lives in the Netherworld. Like typical bourei, she is quite the opposite of what humans call "down-to-earth", and her whims distract Youmu all the time. Unlike typical bourei, her form has legs and feet.

She is a bourei—the form of humans after death. There is no doubt that Yuyuko "lives" a whimsical life, but she doesn't unleash her ability lightly, so neither humans nor youkai have a reason to attack her. Still, many beings across the land fear her within their hearts.

1st stage boss - Bourei who is not swayed


Yuyuko Saigyouji

Species: Bourei
Ability: Manipulating death

Yuyuko is a bourei princess who lives in the Netherworld, and is Youmu's mistress. She doesn't have too much of an interest in divine spirits, but the direction in which the divine spirits are headed intrigued her a little. This direction was Myouren Temple, a temple that was just recently constructed. It was a place for those who want to meditate to suppress their inner desires, but for divine spirits, which are the essence of desires, to congregate there... It surely didn't seem like the conduct of a typical temple.

And it happened when she was thinking about that.

Some humans were intruding her properties to investigate about divine spirits. After seeing them, she was relaxed that there was no need for her to do anything, and decided to continue with her flower viewing.

Flavor Text

How many times has she seen this cherry blossom flowering since she died?
She got bored by the time she counted nine, and thought to stop there at one digit.
But then she regretted that she should have at least tried to count up to somewhere around 9999, and now counts a random number every year, as if to make up for the past she hadn't counted.
"Youmu, that will be the 5,873rd cherry blossom flowering by this year. Isn't it beautiful?"
"Don't you think that's exaggerating too much, Lady Yuyuko?"
