Economy, huh?

Who cares about the economa? The Tea Party!

Who regularly holds Tea Parties in good ends? Reimu!

Now, to analyze these numbers with Reimu in mind:

183
642
507

Usually you have the numbers from 1 to 9 in such a square, but this one has the numbers from 0 to 8 instead. The 9 got replaced by a zero, but why is that?
Assuming the 9 represents Cirno, we have to look for an absence of her. Which games do not feature Cirno?
THRtP, SoEW, PoDD, LLS, MS, IamP, IN, MoF, SWR, SA, UFO, DS
We see, all of these games also feature Reimu! Coincidence? I think not.

Going further, as has been noticed, the numbers in each line add up to twelve. However, this does not refer to UFO, oh no! The actual twelveth touhou game was Mountain of Faith! Once again, Reimu is playable in this game! The evidence just keeps piling up, guys! It is totally Reimu!

Komachi.

If I remember correctly, how you lived your life is the currency she gets from you to cross over the river or something. And the magic box doesn't have a 9 in it, the game she debut in.

EDIT:

Economics? As in how all the numbers are perfectly balanced? That and references to both 12 and Mystic Square make me want to say Byakuren. But I don't speak Pescanese so that's the closest I expect I'll get.

Read the clue at least 3 layers beyond what's given.
The answer is Cirno.

1   8   3
6   4   2
5   0   7

You're going three layers beyond what's given. Meaning you subtract by three. Twelve is the answer given in the square.

12 - 3 = 9
Cirno is a (9). As a bonus the magic square also features every number up to 8. 9 is the next number in line.

goddamn people it is not cirno what is wrong with you


Also for anyone curious, the magic square using 1 to 9 contains nine numbers and so is a 3x3 square. The numbers summed together make 45, which divided by 3 makes 15 for each row.

6 1 8
7 5 3
2 9 4

This is said square.

Hieda no Akyu. There are nine numbers, each of which refer to her previous incarnations: Hieda no Are (0), Aichi (1), Ani (2), Ami (3), Ayo (4), Ago (5), Amu (6), Anana (7), Aya (8hurr). The only number not present is for Hieda no Akyu (9durp).

183

Game 1, New Character 8 Symbol 3 -> 矜羯
Game 6, New Character 4 Symbol 2 -> 紅
Game 5, New Character 0 (meaning all preexisting characters' names) -> 博麗 靈夢 霧雨 理沙 魅魔 幽香

羅美魔, read ラメイマ, "rameima"

This is, of course, an anagram of "Amare mi", Italian for "Love me!".

Which person told humanity to love him through loving everyone else? Jesus!

But, in the Latin alphabet, "Jesus" begins with an 'I'!

"I am the strongest!" is a quote from Cirno.

Thus, the correct answer is...

Cirno

goddamn people it is not cirno what is wrong with you
How does it feel to get proven wrong like that?  :smug:

Jeez you guys, the answer is obviously Mai! She's from Mystic Square and an inspiration for Cirno, who we all know is a 9-ball. It's so easy!  :3

Considering that the square was rotated since it was previously asked, I'm guessing it can be assumed that order doesn't matter (much).

... rotated... spun? Only a few people spin, and Ran has nine tails...? No, not likely.

Hm... there's another idea, but I'd have to look up some graphics...
There was something here once. Wonder what...

Alright tried this

Crossed out the odd numbers to get a cross

   8
6 4 2
   0

(0 is neither odd nor even, so therefore it's not crossed out since I said I crossed out odds, not keep in evens)

So therefore

YUMEMI!

Except that zero is an even number (it's divisible by 2)

Based on what I've gathered...

I'm guessing I have to figure out a number pattern from these 3 sets of numbers, which can be either vertically or horizontally, and continue with that pattern to form more numbers. Then the part comes with all the linking numbers with names of touhous.

1   8   3
6   4   2
5   0   7

So we all know every which way and their mother, when you add all this up, it turns into 12. Now, How many characters are the 12th touhou game? 12. Who's the 12th character? Myouren. Why? He was supposed to be the final boss. The FINAL boss. As in, the last character you would have met.

But this could also mean it's Nue. She is technically the 12th character you "meet" in the game. First three being the Playable's, Nazrin Kogasa etc etc. Byakuren is the 10th person you "meet", this is including Unzan. She is the final boss. Now where do you learn about Nue? After beating the whole game on clear. But when do you get Byakurens Profile? After you beat her in any way. Her dead brother, Myouren, is mentioned in there, so technically that makes him the 11th character you meet. Then you meet Nue. It's as simple as that, really.

So basically my answer is Nue, though chances are I'm waaaay off.

Random guessing maths time!

1   8   3
6   4   2
5   0   7

11   18   13
6    4     2
5    0     7

Formula: (1st row number - 2nd row number * nth column)
11 - 6 * 1 = 5
18 - 4 * 2 = 10
13 - 2 * 3 = 7

Looking at the numbers in a Japanese way... Kotohime?

The action of adding ten... Rumia?
