Immaterial and Missing Power/Story/Yuyuko's Script

Yuyuko beats Reimu

Yuyuko	前から思ってたんだけど…… 貴方って幽霊の素質があるわよね。	I've been thinking... you have the makings of a good ghost.^[1]

Yuyuko beats Marisa

Yuyuko	前から思ってたんだけど…… 貴方って長生きしそうに無いわね。	I've been thinking... you don't seem to have a very long lifespan.

Yuyuko beats Sakuya

Yuyuko	前から思ってたんだけど…… 貴方って意地悪な姑になりそうね。	I've been thinking... you're probably going to become a mean aunt.

Yuyuko beats Alice

Yuyuko	前から思ってたんだけど…… 貴方ってガリバーみたいね。	I've been thinking... you're like Gulliver.^[2]

Yuyuko beats Patchouli

Yuyuko	前から思ってたんだけど…… 貴方って松竹梅で言ったらアサガオみたいね。	I've been thinking... you're like a morning glory.^[3]

Yuyuko beats Youmu

Yuyuko	あら妖夢じゃない。庭の掃除は終ったのかしら？	Oh my, if it isn't Youmu. Have you finished sweeping the grounds?

Yuyuko	紫ってさぁ。最近丸くなってない？頭の辺り。	Hey, Yukari... Have you had a couple screws loose in your head lately?^[5]

Yuyuko beats Suika

Yuyuko	前から思ってたんだけど…… 貴方って地味よね	I've been thinking... you're quite plain.

Yuyuko beats someone

Yuyuko	あ～、今の全然駄目だわ。もう一度再戦しましょう？	Ah~, that was horrible. Another round?
Yuyuko	そんな地に足が付かない闘い方じゃあ…… まだまだね。	It'll... take a while before you can fight with your feet off the ground.^[7]
Yuyuko	幽霊って、何で幽霊って言うのか知ってる？ ……そう。	You know why they call ghosts ghosts? ...Right.

Notes

↑ When we read this dialogue after another phrase — "fight with your feet off the ground" — and Reimu's ability "Capable of flying in the air", Yuyuko is technically snobbing Reimu to point out that she and her way of battle isn't well-grounded to see that her legs are in the air.
↑ You must remember Gulliver in country of Lilliput, Alice standing in legion of dolls.
↑ The name of morning glory's petal is "you" (曜), which consists of the names of Seven Luminaries or Patchouli's magic.
↑ The European umbrella was once called bat umbrella (蝙蝠傘, koumori-gasa). And of course Yuyuko should be remembering in her mind that Remilia can transform herself into a cloud of bats and she never goes out without parasol.
↑ Double meanings: Yukari's lookings get fat, and her personality gets mild.
↑ A pun of Suika and Suica, the smart card on train lines around Japanese capital city.
↑ There is a Japanese idiom "to be grounded" "firmly realistic"; lit."get one's legs on the ground" (地に足のついた, chi ni ashi no tsuita). And it is a wordplay related to Japanese common sense of ghosts, they have no legs and floats above the ground.
