I feel like I'm going way off topic... What am I arguing foooor.
This is inaccurate. We don't even know if Eirin is immortal or not. There is no canon proof on this part.
Already addressed. Btw, I thought everyone already took her immortality for granted.
Does not contradict with canon. They do have a ritual cleaning in which you can clean impurities. Lunarians used to be humans from earth. They would have "tainted" the moon ages ago if there was not a way to cleanse themselves and others.
I've got curious about this.
A single "impure" bullet from Reimu's Omagatsumi could ruin the moon ("let it go, and you'll bring death to the Moon", "if you don't smash the bullets one by one, the moon will become the same as earth"). If Toyohime could just "cleanse" such impurity, why would she go to the length of threatening Reimu's life to stop it (which, would also "taint" the Moon, I presume)?
Kaguya does not care enough to destroy the bamboo. It isn't like being stuck hurts her.
"I can't get out by myself", she says.
That said, let's not forget that it isn't that she isn't physically fit, it is that she is psychologically lazy. She can easily do a stretch that is impossible for even fit people, but can barely touch her knees with her hands.
Huh?
She clearly couldn't stretch nor do push ups. I don't know how being "psycologycally lazy" would stop her from doing those.
Everyone has a soul, souls don't have a particular size, but the body has a particular size. If souls can freely create a size, then anyone, not just Kaguya can be of any size they want. What the Hourai Elixir does is causes the soul to become invincible. It doesn't actually change a soul's state.
I should've cited the entire quote.
"Immortality is like casting away the physical body.
It is for one's true self to become merely the soul, and to be able to produce new a new flesh from that.
Souls don't have a particular size, so they can freely create another body wherever they like. "
Even if Mokou wasn't blowing her up lately, the "create another body wherever they like" covers my reasoning.
What about the weaponry in Kourindou? Guns is not something that is out of place. Those are probably weapons that imaginative designers tried to do, but failed, because of impraticality and thus it fell into fantasy lands.
Quite the wildcard argument you pulled there.
This is false. Reisen cannot give orders to Tewi. Eirin never gave Reisen the authority to do this. However, Reisen takes it upon herself to order Tewi, even though she isn't supposed to. Her thinking is probably on the lines of since she is Eirin apprentice and she believes Eirin is the boss, then she would have authority over the rabbits. This is untrue and we know this from canon, not just from Inaba of Earth/Moon.
If you check other canon sources, like Cage in Lunatic Runagate, Eirin does not order Tewi around. When Eirin first met Tewi, they made an agreement, not that Eirin was Tewi's boss. The relationship between Eirin and Tewi are of equals, not of a superior and a subject. Eirin does not actually have authority to order the rabbits around, only Tewi can do that.

Ok, I take that back. Sorry.
But I still don't understand what your reasoning is. Most things that happens to her (even when brought by people outside of Eientei) has nothing to do with the rabbits, even if they had, the fact is that she's still a buttmonkey.
As I have already mentioned, Reisen deserves a lot of this. Refer to that link to see why.
You're implying that Eirin is taking revenge for the rabbits, the ones that she doesn't care and even experiments on?
Still, doesn't diminishes the fact that she's a sadist. Even if it's just on Reisen.
Anyway, you're just giving more examples of discrepancies, since Reisen is the only one that treat the rabbits well in Inaba. Talking about rabbits, aren't they supposed to be "little girls"? Shape changing isn't out of question since they're youkai, but still, you'd expect them to protest when being painted and sold, played around like balls, used as futon-warmer, used as fish bait, used as Mokou-bait, or being freaking kidnapped by Toyohime.
Mokou may have a fued with her, but for Kaguya, it is just fun and games. This is verified in Cage in Lunatic Runagate.
I don't see anything ignored, you may want to check out Cage in Lunatic Runagate if you are seeing some differences in characterization.
I know the Mokou episode from Lunatic Runagate.
Actually, Mokou moved on, but Kaguya is still on it, apparently going herself as well (Always trying to kill me... Always sending assassins... She KNOWS that I'll never die!). Then when they meet, Mokou's the one that wants to fight, but Kaguya tried to "avoid" it. Ok then, let's move on... food fight! Hooray. Way to ruin the gruesome Mokou and somewhat sadistic Kaguya ZUN created.
It doesn't matter how many times I read Lunatic Runagate, Silent Sinner in Blue and beat IN (after all, Kaguya
is my favourite character... I can't get enough of her), I just won't see her being unrefined, lazy, childish and silly (all typical moe traits... ahem) like in the Inabas. Because, well......
she was not. Until now, of course.
May ZUN protect my waifu so she can be perfect as I want (
)
That is an argument made by how Eirin could be immortal. However, there is no conclusive proof that it is the case.
The ghost team ending can just be them bantering, like they usually do.
You realize that if we use this kind of approach to everything important said by the characters, we can pretty much create whatever canon pleases us, right? You deserve another Moko-tan stare.
Btw, ZUN must've been drunk when he gave that interview. His view on SWR and Tenshi was completely... uh... inaccurate, to say the least.
