>Anon, anon. I know you're proud of your little theory inside your head about how Reimu works, and it'd be very pretty and poetic if it was the case, but the events of the series contradict the way you claim it works.
But it doesn't. You know what, I'll storyboard it for you later, since you can't seem to follow.

So why does fish put themselves in her feet when she walked without care? Why did Kasen cheer her on to make her lose? Why is Reimu's description in many entries describe her great luck and intuition? Why does the ultimate conclusion to her ability lead her to closing your eyes and doing... nothing?
"Asspulls"?

>That does not address what I said at all.
But it does. Your expecting grand displays on Reimu's part 24/7.
>Hindsight? What? Anon I'm saying the manga shows that what you're talking about wasn't as serious as it looked because shortly afterwards it turns it into a comedic situation, a bait and switch.
Except, once more, you're thinking with hindsight. You're thinking in terms of a reader and know that Marisa's unhurt and scot-free. How would Reimu know that, and even if she does, how would you know her immediate thought?
>I'm not sure if you remember but Reimu's energy had been sapped to the point where she was accepting death, and when she tried to fire danmaku, it did fuck all.
What? That's not what happened. She literally fires danmaku in page 20 of Chapter 49.
>Except, again, you claimed that her putting effort into things causes her to fail when the only time she puts effort into something in WaHH she succeeds, the manga implies that contrary to what you said, her get rich quick schemes were not hard effort at all.
OKAY. Here is where I storyboard it for you, so why you think your examples somehow contradict mine can get squished. Let's bash it, once again.
1. Reimu is naturally good at almost everything
2. Except the things she cares for
3. Money is something she greatly cares for, and thinks of a lot
4. Unlike most scenarios, she cannot get money by simply being lazy
5. She cannot use her godlike luck to get money no matter what because of her personality
6. She has to use effort in order to get money
7.Since she is spoiled by her luck, she doesn't use effort 90% of the time
8. She doesn't use that much effort in her schemes
9. She doesn't get money
10. Only when she either a "normal person's" amount of effort or told by others to do does she succeed

Now, how does your one scenario contradict Reimu's thing... at all?
"b-but you said effort is"
I have said multiple times that caring is what matters. The effort she puts is simply a conclusion to the luck she is given, and not the cause.

>You also ignored me bringing up SSiB and Limbo as further proof of your theory being wrong. Furthermore, it was actually wrong of me to say she doesn't enjoy fights, she just thinks incidents are annoying more often than not. She's absolutely giddy when she curbstomps Marisa in CoLA knowing she has a food reward waiting for her for example.
Because they're not very good examples at all. Reimu in her "floating" case is her in her, basically, "ultimate form". Just because she cares for something doesn't automatically mean she'll lose in a fight or she'll lose her power, it just means it's not in her peak power. It just means she won't just close her eyes and automatically beat you.
Hell, we don't even if she lost that fight against Byakuren that Kasen cheered Reimu for. She might've even won that. Reimu's naturally strong regardless and doesn't need her 100% all the time, whether she knows it or not.
And in terms of the SSiB Yorihime example... you think that's an example? lmao
The whole point of the sisters is that Yorihime is Reimu but better, and Toyohime is Yukari but better. Reimu's strong, but she's not the strongest in all of Touhou. She can close her eyes and not give a shit nonstop and she's not gonna beat Hecatia in a straight fight.
>effort
shut up about effort
