Wily Beast and Weakest Creature (mentioned) Touhou Gouyoku Ibun (Main Antagonist and final boss)

Yuuma Toutetsu (饕餮 尤魔 Toutetsu Yuuma) is the leader of the Gouyoku Alliance under which the eagle spirits serve. She is briefly mentioned by Saki Kurokoma in the Extra stage of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature before making a proper appearance as the main antagonist and final boss of Touhou Gouyoku Ibun.

General Information

Personality

She is clever, calculating, and avoids pointless conflict by nature. She exhausts all the other organizations within the Animal Realm because they feel her methods to be dishonest and cowardly, but her underlings adore that sort of thing from their "way-too-reliable boss with nearly-invincible power." And as per her ability, the things she eats can influence her personality, so it may vary from time to time.

Abilities

Capable of absorbing anything

She's able to swallow whole and devour absolutely anything, whether its body is physical, spiritual, organic or inorganic. On top of that, by swallowing something, she's able to comprehend it and turn it into her own power. The things she eats are also said to influence her personality.

Character Basis

Origin

Yuuma is a taotie, a creature in Chinese mythology known for their extreme gluttony.

Name

Her full name is Yuuma Toutetsu (饕餮 尤魔).

Her given name, Yuuma (尤魔), is written with characters meaning "outstanding" and "devil". The character yuu (尤) is likely derived from Chiyou (蚩尤, Shiyuu), an ancient Chinese tribal leader theorized to be the basis of Taotie symbolism.

Her surname, Toutetsu (饕餮), is the Japanese name of a Chinese creature called the Taotie. This follows the pattern established by Yachie Kicchou and Saki Kurokoma, who are also named after the creatures they are based on.

Design

Yuuma has white hair and red sheep horns with blue ribbons tied around them. She has red eyes with horizontal pupils and pointy ears decorated with silver earrings. Her teeth appear to be notably sharp.

She wears a teal dress with red half-attached arm sleeves. The skirt is decorated with a meander pattern, alongside a couple of eye patterns. She carries around a large spork.

Appearances

Touhou Gouyoku Ibun

The final boss of the game. Most of the other characters were unable to beat her, either due to Yuuma absorbing their attacks or being talked out of actually dealing with her, but Okina manipulated Flandre Scarlet into fighting her and she used her ability to destroy anything to beat her, as Flandre's ability couldn't be absorbed nor could Yuuma talk her out of fighting her due to Flandre's childish nature. As a result, Flandre is the only character who can progress to Yuuma's final phase.

Relationships

Yachie Kicchou

Given they are leaders of opposing factions in the Animal Realm, they are antagonistic of each other. However, considering that both of their factions teamed up during the events of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, their relationship might not be as terrible as it seemed.

Saki Kurokoma

They are opposing leader in the Animal Realm, therefore they are enemies.

Undefeated Matriarch of the Gouyoku Alliance Yuuma Toutetsu Species: Taotie Ability: Capable of absorbing anything A divine beast with the form of a lamb. Both greedy and a massive eater, she's able to swallow whole and devour absolutely anything, whether its body is physical, spiritual, organic or inorganic. On top of that, by swallowing something, she's able to comprehend it and turn it into her own power. The things she eats are also said to influence her personality. She's the chairwoman of the Gouyoku Alliance, an organization in the Animal Realm. Rather than banding together to do anything eye-catching, the Gouyoku Alliance sits back to take a broad view of events, and plots to steal everything without lifting a finger when the time is ripe. Their motto is "when a snipe and clam argue, the fisherman catches both." The other organizations are exhausted by her, saying that she loves dishonest and cowardly methods, but her underlings adore her as "a way-too-reliable boss with nearly-invincible power." She herself isn't particularly attached to the idea of having underlings, and seems to prefer doing everything on her own. Perhaps inspired by their boss's attitude, many members of the Gouyoku Alliance tend to act separately and of their own accord. Despite appearances, she's actually clever, calculating, and avoids pointless conflict by nature. Upon determining that an enemy isn't one to bow in the face of threats, the Alliance studies whether they can be recruited. If they determine that recruitment will also go over poorly, they attempt to forge a mutually beneficial relationship, if only in appearances. If even that seems to be difficult, they choose to retreat quickly. From the perspective of the Animal Realm-- a survival-of-the-fittest world where might makes absolute right-- they're a particularly abnormal organization. For the Gouyoku Alliance, choosing all-out war is truly the absolute last resort. This time around, she took advantage of the commotion involving the beast spirits to set her sights on the Former Hell of Blood Pools, where she planned to obtain every drop of desire from both the Animal Realm and the surface world. However, her plan was leaked to the humans up above by the hidden god living on the surface, and she was obliterated by an assassin trained in anti-Taotie combat. After regenerating, she gave up on monopolizing the petroleum deposit, and forged a mutually-beneficial relationship with the hidden god.
