Who is the strongest 2hu?

ZUN could be the strongest for creating all of these powerful beings with his mind and giving them to the world to enjoy. He made a lot of us happy, which gives him power and he puts great effort into everything.

@Dreamleaf Ok, just having 3 seperate bodies is 1 thing. That doesn't really mean shes stronger then the Watatsuki Sisters 
Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. From what I understand ZUNs comment was directly a response in terms of her strength and why Reimu/co was able to fight with her at all, so him saying she's more powerful than anyone in the lunar capital does seem to explicitly say she'd be stronger than them unless I'm missing something?

 
It's kind of tricky... Regarding Reimu and the gang get beaten up by the lunarians like Yorihime and Toyohime, but yet struggles at Junko, that was defeated by the protags, Yukari, that was stated by the fandom as the powerful character was retreating against Toyohime at that bamboo forest. For my opinion, if there's no limitation (No spell card rules) the tier would be:

1. Yukari Yakumo, the boundary sage

Of course, if it's not the normal Yukari, she could easily banish the youkais in Gensokyo with ease, not counting the lunarian of course. And coould kill someone in instant via boundary of life and death, yukari is comparable to Hecatia; Or eve superior

2. Sagume Kishin, the word amanojaku

Yes, without Yukari's power of boundary between Silence and noise, Sagume is unstoppable. She turn lies into reality that would make the world fall into chaos just by saying; And, did I mention that she was the one making the urban legend incident far before she was introduced in LoLK?

3. Reimu Hakurei, the heroine of the story

Well-Well, the Wakimiko has became the third place's winner. She was superior in youkai exterminating and handling, her power to float out of reality is strong too, and she extremely intangible in that state, so with the majority of Youkai at Gensokyo,She could just make a total massacre out of it

4. Watatsuki sisters, the lunar, perfect deities of the palace

They could summon god with ease, and could wipe all 'Impurities' known as Gensokyo, and could just destroy the great hakurei barrier via the powers of the gods

5. Remilia Scarlet, the scarlet devil

With the power of manipulating fate, Remilia's power was actually out of imagination, she could foreseen her own fate too.

6. Sakuya Izayoi, The chief of the SDM's maid

Manipulating timelines is one of the strongest powers of manipulating time, her past and present skill was a spot on too, and her changeling magic would sure shock her opponent as shocked as they can, could just vanish Gensokyo's timeline of creation easily

7. Junko, the pure fury

Refining the impurities by removing it was a great deal, pure Oxygen could just kill you and purifying the universe means nullifying it, leaving a void opens for eternity, the impurities of the attack everyone uses could just nullified via the power purification

8. Suika Ibuki, the embodiment of dreams and pandemonium

Her mist form is intangible and her density manipulation is uncomparable. Plus, she could make minds more 'sparse' and destroyed the moon once

9. Hecatia Lapislazuli, The deity of hells

3 Bodies, a deity of the world's hell, and stated by ZUN itself as the strongest. But, her potetial threat would maybe going to break the Hakurei barrier, and destroys the moon

10. Keine Kamishirasawa, The teacher of the historians

As you could see from her power, Keine's power is to eat (Possibly means destroy/ just simply hide) history, her varieties of history ranges from the Hieda clan's history to gensokyo's history. But her power was still weak; Hieda clan's history wa the Hieda's and out from her control

Yep, you could disagree with me, this is just my opinion

Honestly about previous post i think its lacking:
Saigyouji Yuyuko - Actually as far i know she also possess power to instantly take someone life but she comes to that ability with caution (if im wrong please correct me)

Kaguya Houraisan - Well like Fujiwara no Mokou she is theoretically immortal but thats not the main thing you listed Sakuya because her time manipulation ability right? Then Kaguya is able to "control" eternity so it can be said she can theoretically completely stop it what makes her at least comparable to Sakuya in this case

Eirin Yagokoro - This one is kinda tricky but... She is smartest person in entire Gensokyo and maybe even not only in Gensokyo (we cant really confirm it because of her enigmatic nature and being surrounded by many mysteries) but as we may know intelligence = power (at least in most cases) (its possible she is also immortal)

Okina Matara - No one should be surprised here because we have one of the sages of Gensokyo here with power at least comparable to Yukari besides "Backdoor" ability she also can manipulate life and mental energy

And Eiki Shiki Yamaxanadu - Yes she is a Yama so she is able to judge peoples that are already dead but she wouldnt be Yama if she wouldnt be really powerful so we probably dont know what she is capable to do


All of these are just my opinions what should be added/replaced with something on post above

Have a good day!


 
Saigyouji Yuyuko - Actually as far i know she also possess power to instantly take someone life but she comes to that ability with caution (if im wrong please correct me)
If I remember correctly Yuyuko's ability is to "invite people to death" - meaning she can instantly kill someone and turn them into a ghost of the nether realm, but only if they agree to it. I'm not sure about it though. Even if that's false it's still pretty cool headcannon.

Yup you may be right with it and i agree its still cool

 
And also, Cirno would be at the 11th position for beating a sage, she could potentially defeat the lunarian because of her impurity that would make the go insane, as stated at LoLK:

"The impurities of the earth has corrupted you, and driving you insane" Reisen's scenario, LoLK (I forgot who said this, Doremy?)

For the best physical attack, I guess it'll going to be Yuugi

For the instant kill, Yuyuko

For the Reality breaker, Yukari, Remilia, Sagume, and ZUN (lol)

For the Magical power, Toyo & Yorihime would be great

 
But , through out the series Reimu (and Marisa) defeats almost everyone as we play them . So doesn't that make them the strongest ?

Theoretically yes but actually from what i know few of fights wasnt "for real"
Like im almost sure Eirin was holding back in IN
or Yuuka fight which was something like "warmup" or just some fun to her
Possibly same with PCB Phantasm stage Yukari
Okina where we needed to fight her 2 times
Possibly same with Hecatia (stated by ZUN as Strongest)

Also from what i remember ZUN stated that Watatsuki Sisters wont be added to game because they are too strong and player is supposed to be able to win fight in game/clear it and that would be impossible against this duo (if im not wrong there was manga or something  like that where Watatsuki Sisters fought Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya and Remilia at once and won without slightest problem)

Haha, I'm pointing out lore again instead of actually contributing to this discussion, but I've read this manga so I can actually say for sure what happens. Firstly, only Yorihime was fighting, not Toyohime, and she fought against Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya and Remilia one at a time, not together. However, she did beat them all in a row without much difficulty - but it was a spell card battle, so since they were following spell card rules it's not really possible to gauge any of their powers based on it.

Not saying Watatsukis aren't busted though. Yorihime can summon gods to use their powers, and Toyohime has a fan that can create a wind that would purify the entire bamboo forest in one go. And ZUN is of course right in saying that the player would not be able to beat them in a game, since Yorihime won those spell card battles so easily.

I don't really try to think about who the strongest character is. As far as I'm concerned Hecatia is the most powerful overall as said by ZUN, and Yukari is probably the most powerful within Gensokyo, if not the most influential.

 
(Update: the old list needed a huge revision after i dove into depth of some other stuff.)

1. Tier (High Hyperversal,Possibly Low Outerversal) Hecatia, stated to be the strongest character in touhou. Self-explanetory. However gods in touhou are not bound by ANY concepts this includes the concept of dimensions thus they are above most structures a normal verse would follow. They have a higher existence thus making them more powerful. 

2.Watatsuki Sisters (High Hyperversal) - the Watatsuki sisters ARE stronger than Yukari. Yukari herself said no one on Earth can beat the Lunarians (which is why she didn't even try to fight Toyohime):
“The Lunarians possess highly advanced technology, unyielding stamina and abilities that are far outmatch those of youkai. The ones living on Earth can never beat those on the moon, especially in the lunar capital.”

...and ZUN confirmed it in an interview, so she wasn't just lying:
"My thought is that the Lunar Capital is where the highest, noblest gods live. [...] Because of that, as far as anyone from Gensokyo goes, the Watatsuki sisters are truly untouchable as a necessary measure." https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Symposium_of_Post-mysticism/Interview

And it makes sense because Yorihime basically has the same ability as Yukari (via summoning the god of boundaries) in addition to also having the powers of the other 8 million gods, unlimited stamina and no life/death border. Toyohime's ability isn't clearly explained but it's implied to be some kind of probability manipulation so that's probably why Yukari can't beat her either.

"From a quantum point of view, possible events will absolutely always happen. This is because in the quantum world, everything is decided by probability, but it's impossible to capture that probability with exact precision. As long as an unrealized event has a non-zero probability, no matter how low it is, it will occur at some point. Since the universe is built on quantum phenomena, it's not all that unusual that living things from Earth should find their way to the moon. After all, that's how even we came to live on the moon."
"Right away I understood Lady Yagokoro's lesson, and now I am one of the very few who have ever had the ability to bind together Earth and the moon, who have the power to go back and forth between them at will" https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Cage_in_Lunatic_Runagate/Third_Chapter [ Credits to ViridianBlue on Youtube for this info ]

3.  Yukari time (High Hyperversal) - I'm going to use the explanation I usually use on youtube.

(In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, yukari is stated to be easily able to undermine everything in reality and her ability is defined as one that allows both creation and destruction https://imgur.com/a/PGDEqIC and can freely manipulate every existence http://tasofro.net/touhou155/manual/chara18.html#top . Additionally she can control all boundaries and remove all boundaries https://imgur.com/a/0M8RuPA which would include the boundary of red-white which represents the beginning of all things that being existence and nothingness itself https://imgur.com/a/h09SR0X . This is important due to the fact that Touhou follows brane cosmology https://imgur.com/a/UU7ueDj and string theory https://imgur.com/a/6ciIQBq . And seeing as to which the branes fall under string theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brane , this should justify string theory existing more since no other related theories other than string theory was noticed, alongside the fact that Renko was the one who noticed these phenonemons https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Dr._Latency's_Freak_Report/Story ).
Further more, the string thereoy that exist in touhou is Hilbert Space 
Enjoy.

In Changeability of Strange Dreams, https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Changeability_of_Strange_Dream/Story

Outside World is said  by Merry that it follows String Theory https://imgur.com/a/PUB5g

But then, Yukari is implied to have manipulated the Boundary of Wave and Particles in Netherworld (but it's still sort of related to Gensokyo as it being separated by just a Boundary of Death and Alive isn't enough to separate the particles). https://imgur.com/a/22fP7

Manipulating that proved the existence of wave-particle duality. As the Boundary is the duality of Wave and Particles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave–particle_duality

If my interpretation is right,such duality shouldn't exist in String Theory as the presence of Wave and Particles contradicts the existence of strings.And It would correlate to Wave function as all the information about a particle is encoded in its wave functions

In Dr Latency's Freak Report, https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Dr._Latency's_Freak_Report/Story

Shits get interesting here.Really interesting.

Gensokyo is referred as an another brane world dominated by different types of particles. https://imgur.com/a/AKMOL

It being stated as a brane world evidences it being a 4D structure and all the way up to infinite dimensional.

"The central idea is that the visible, three-dimensional universe is restricted to a brane inside a higher-dimensional space, called the "bulk" (also known as "hyperspace"). If the additional dimensions are compact, then the observed universe contains the extra dimensions, and then no reference to the bulk is appropriate. In the bulk model, at least some of the extra dimensions are extensive (possibly infinite)" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brane_cosmology

Schrödinger's cat is stated to be applied to Gensokyo as stated by Merry https://imgur.com/a/K4Ksu

"Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935.It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanicsapplied to everyday objects. The scenario presents a cat that may be simultaneously both alive and dead, a state known as a quantum superposition" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger's_cat

Schrödinger's Cat proved that the Wave Functions are in a superposition state.

"In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse is said to occur when a wave function—initially in a superposition of several eigenstates—appears to reduce to a single eigenstate (by "observation"). "

"Calculations of quantum decoherence predict apparent wave function collapse when a superposition forms between the quantum system's states and the environment's states. Significantly, the combined wave function of the system and environment continue to obey the Schrödinger equation." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function_collapse

"According to the superposition principle of quantum mechanics, wave functions can be added together and multiplied by complex numbers to form new wave functions and form a Hilbert space" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

Wave functions of Gensokyo are in a state of superposition which is a infinite Dimensional Hilbert Space.

Moreover, Gensokyo is directly referred as a Quantum World https://imgur.com/a/0vcop

"In the quantum world, things get really, truly wrong. Here we have spaces of infinite dimensions, by necessity. Spaces of possibilities" https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/539kdb/life-in-infinite-dimensions

So infinite-D Gensokyo is a thing now?

No Common sense https://imgur.com/a/c8P2y

Oh my.

What theory does the Outside World follows again? https://imgur.com/a/PUB5g

Oh my.

What's the definition of Gensokyo again?

幻想郷- Land of Illusion/Fantasy.

Oh my.

What's the Boundary of the Great Hakurei Barrier? Boundary of Fantasy and Reality

.________.

Welp.I guess ZUN put a lot of effort trying to put this in.Gensokyo is a fantasy land which is apparently an infinite-D Hilbert Space as opposed to the Outside World which follows a 10D to 24D String Theory (Depends on the context of the theory).Since it is a fantasy land,it's only logical to defy scientific logic (lol) and guess what,different than the Outside World,it follows a different type of dimensional theory.

4.  Junko- (Complex multiversal to high hyperversal)  Pure mama junko was stated to have fought on par with with the watatsuki sisters prior to the events of LoLK (Touhou 15). Also her ability is described to give birth to the gods as she can purify anything. Junko's purification brings things back to their godly nature
gUDD7Pf.png.5ac5fe605fe2437b2fc88b9a3e61c397.png
 , before they had names, or even bound to any concepts
X3z3ADl.jpg.96ed4a93cb045ce657887092f4d51309.jpg
  so it could be considered an ability to destroy any concepts)

5. Doremy Sweet (High Complex Multiversal)- The Ruler of the dream World. The Dream World is an infinite dimensional world. Holding countless/infinite dreams. These dreams are referred to as otherworlds. Otherworlds in touhou all have their own space time continuum making them seperate universes. Doremy is able to control all dreams and is able to erase them, eat them, and create them. She's also a reality warper as dream manipulation directly affects reality in Touhou. Even though it's vauge it makes a lot of sense as she is regarded as the most dangerous youkai in the dream world. As everyone has a dream counterpart (except the gods and several other exceptions) they are logically below her. 

6. Okina Matara (Complex Multiversal)-  Okina Participated in the creation of Gensokyo

  as stated by Yorihime which is also infinite dimensional https://imgur.com/a/qIEV9. Okina also claimed that she can recreate Gensokyo as a whole https://imgur.com/a/dIGe6 

7. Yoragami Sisters (Shion and Joon) [High complex multiversal] -  Overall Her Perfect Possession was controlling

  and screwing up the whole Dream World as a side effect 
EvV8koB.jpg.94a3b216d0323f0ffc11c4d4a6d883f1.jpg
  

8. Sagume Kishin (Complex Multiversal)  When she speaks about a particular situation or event, that situation will eventually proceed to reverse itself, through whatever means possible. If she speaks about an attempt to achieve a goal, it will fail in some way. If she speaks about something bad occurring, it will be resolved in some way. Due to this, she tends to not speak too much and always chooses her words carefully. Note that it is the situation or the event she talks about that will be reversed in some manner; it is not that the opposite of what she says must occur. 
5hhCcpd.png.d82333823c04a5b0a39b2ee4162175ad.png
 

She's also  Using her powers,  created a secret occult ball. It had the power to change the world by using people's words, and merely being near it would cause false rumors, such as urban legends, to materialize. Although it was just insurance, the plan was to use it to materialize the Lunar Capital in Gensokyo by spreading rumors about NASA hiding the truth about what they saw on the Moon. This also caused numerous lesser urban legends to materialize, starting the events of Urban Legend in Limbo. 
5Xh0aVh.png.8cbe76e7ca5f773d9f98e0b65c394851.png
 

9. Remilia Scarlet (Multi-Universal via fate hax) - Remilia holds the power to manipulate fate. The Future is implied to be not predetermined https://imgur.com/a/gpBBD , meaning that she logically "creates" future as she manipulates fate. Creating future can be said to be altering probabilities 
1L3ox5M.png.1e8bf329f4050153fae7e93ba3b22472.png
 

Her strength of an oni too is tremendous as  Suika an oni whose attack shattered all of Heaven. Remember  she effortlessly shattered the heavens with ease, which are referred to as "paradise", the realm where Amitabha, who is googolplexes larger than the observable universe lives. Amitabha has been calculated to be 3.7107x10^152 universes large. 

10. Sumireko Usami (Complex multiversal) - Remember her yeah I do too. Her nearly breaking the barrier of gensokyo would've practically destroyed gensokyo from existence though she is still quite inexperienced in fighting she can hold her own against peeps like marisa and reimu. 

Anyway hope you enjoyed the new list it took a while to revise it but if you have a disagreement just contact me and i'll see. Thanks and bye!
