Oh shit.

>The same reason Yukari doesn't gap a fist-sized stone into an opponent's heart, or Reimu doesn't immediately seal opponents, or wriggle doesn't overrun opponents with tiny, high-poisonous insects. It runs contrary to the spirit of the agreement that Gensokyo operates under. Not only would it shame you and make you and outlaw, it would shame the people you love and serve.

Given this is probably the final spellcroll, I'd be in favor of knifing the incoming clones. I don't think we'll need to hit Juza with all 12 to break her current spellscroll, even if it is tougher than the last two.

If you say so, but let`s make it a spread then.

>Fire a spread pattern at the two duplicates coming towards us, but compensate for the distance they`ll travel on their path while the knives are on their way.
>Be cautious about the other duplicates.

>You send a spread of knive danmkau at the two duplicates coming toward you, and find that they pass right through them. Hmm, it seems they are danmaku effects themselves.
>The two cross in front of you, drawing their blades and striking where you were at the same time, then continue on their prior paths. You note the second pair are both curving toward you from the left and right, looking to catch you from the sides.
