Everyone's talking about how their hopes for a Lovecraft character were shattered... but A, we have Ruri, and B, Kiyohime straightup summons Nyarlathotep for her eighth spell. I think that's too much Lovecraft for one game... Also I swear that the intro to this song fits perfectly with Kiyohime's pre-battle dialogue - if you don't skip the entire dialogue then the intro ends right as her battle begins.
She was apparently an ordinary minor Kiyohime yōkai by the name Shizume Tsuchimikado until she consumed/absorbed the soul of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest onmyōji of all time. In the process she also inherited ownership over all his shikigami and eventually rescinded most of their contracts, gaining a lot of their powers in the process (Ruri was one of his shikigami, and the reason she noticed the events of RSS). Her ability is the mastery of onmyōdō, which is the same kind of sorcery Yukari uses.
I absolutely adore this theme~ It feels so mysterious, and the loud trumpets are keeping the ZUN tradition alive, it's quite wonderful. Easily one of the most catchy themes I've heard in a while. Thank you for the upload~ I just subscribed. Please keep up the fine work~
It is mine too! Wanwan is such an interestingc composer and i find his style really recognizable when it comes to Touhou music. While i am not certain if calling him the best Touhou composer after ZUN is correct,he is surely among the best ones. He always finds new harmonic palettes to use and that alone is something i respect him for (The last section of this theme is an example).
Her species seems to simply be listed as "Youkai" in her profile, but the name "Abe no Kiyohime" is a reference to THE Kiyohime (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyohime) (as well as, yes, Abe no Seimei). ....It seems like it's not actually her real name, though. Apparently, her true name is "Shizume Tsuchimikado", though of course she's introduced as "Abe no Kiyohime" in game.
Okay, new info. She became "Abe no Kiyohime" by devouring the soul of "a particularly famous onmyoudou practitioner" (likely Abe no Seimei). In fact, that's why Ruri is so powerful in the Phantasm Stage; because Kiyohime devoured the soul of Ruri's former master, Kiyohime being in close proximity to Ruri is basically the same as Ruri and her former master being in close proximity to each other.
Her design kinda confuses me. Does she have legs or not...? And apparently her hair is long, but it's hard to tell until you see her "declaring spellcard" portrait. I really like her at any rate.
Yeah, you'd think she has legs with the way her skirt looks. Maybe it is a tail. The real Kiyohime's portrait, on her wiki, looks like it has a tail was well, while still having legs... So hard to tell
Okay, onto Kiyohime--I mean Shizume, because this is his true name, I love this woman, seriously I thought that Ruri was my favorite fanmade character to date...THIS ABOMINATION HAS A *REPTILE TAIL*! She also has a skirt that has probably stolen from Kokunai Miko from Nansei series :P Those her spellcards, her theme, it's just second best Wanwan's theme to date if you ask me. Seriously RSS for official Touhou 15!
In the story of Kiyohime, the priest she loved who ran from her hid under a temple's bell, so that's what I drew from that, but I'm interested to hear why the bell has a connection to Mima 030
The only reason it seems strange for me, is that the melody itself is a bit weird for me, heck even in the chorus (?) it's a bit.... weird? Kinda like you are fighting Shizume Tsuchimikado who you are about to defeat, but it's like she has a scheme...

まさに東方風自作曲の中で最高峰の曲。
これを超える曲に出会ったことが無い。サビのメロディアスで感情むき出しの本気感が泣くぐらい好き。永遠に聴いていられる。

Welcome back Mima
kind of calming in the beginning
I'm crying guys. I can't even manage to get past her fucking non-spells.
Why is it so hard.
Why is life so hard.
Sigmundberg White Escape from life and become a pigeon
Iceborn Then I'll leave my channel in your care.
*flies away*
Sigmundberg White Okay boys are you ready for sum good porn shit ?
On second thought can I have my channel back
Sigmundberg White 2 late
Mima + Yachie + Sannyo = Kiyohime
Wow, so far my favorite track from this guy.
Damn, that sure looks like mima
All i can hear is a sad, melancholy and powerful song, like you're the last hope to finish the ''battle'' even if you're in peril....
My favorite touhou fan-made ost!!!!

Also Shizume is a naga, just saying. Or she has a FREAKIN' *REPTILE TAIL*!(Sorry I still cannot believe this)
I see. Never heard of that folklore ! Thanks, it's good to know, I guess.
Also , Doujouji scrolls too.
Delta She is a tsuchimikadou wow that’s a very powerful clan of onmyoji

According to her concept art, she has legs and a tail. Though most of RSS characters looked much better in prototype.
What is this
Cool
1:25〜1:33と2:08〜2:29のところ大好き( 'ω')
Damn, and I was expecting a Chuthlu-based boss, too! But I gotta say, this boss has quite the theme!
We all did...First 1yuko, now this! Ido, you trolls!
That flute melody S2
Okay, onto Kiyohime--I mean Shizume, because this is his true name, I love this woman, seriously I thought that Ruri was my favorite fanmade character to date...THIS ABOMINATION HAS A *REPTILE TAIL*! She also has a skirt that has probably stolen from Kokunai Miko from Nansei series :P

You're right, it's actually Miko's skirt!!!
Oh, I'm sorry, did you mean her pipe?
Wait, where does it say the bell is related to Mima? I need to see this to believe it.
Isn't it only related to the Kiyohime tale in which the priest dies inside a bell ? I really don't see how it's a reference to Mima...
安倍の清姫 Abe-no-kiyoheme
能力:陰陽道を極めた程度の能力
Her survival tho
"Yin Yang Sea Serpent"
Isn't it "Yin-Yang-Shi Serpent" though?
"Shi", in this case, is the Chinese word (or rather letter) for "practitioner".
The romanisation is exactly the same, either way.
I like this theme, but i think the part from 2:09 till 3:30 sounds a bit strange... hmmm :/
the effect used between 2:09 and 3:30 is also used in Himemiko's theme
The only reason it seems strange for me, is that the melody itself is a bit weird for me, heck even in the chorus (?) it's a bit.... weird? Kinda like you are fighting Shizume Tsuchimikado who you are about to defeat, but it's like she has a scheme...
Her Overdrive Mode spellcard....I feel so trolled.....
I expected to see something bigger.
Who the hell illustrated the game? He's awesome!
I thought Mokou non-spells and Yukari's kunais were bitches huh...
So this is Mima 2.0.
