I was reading a bit of PMiSS and i got a few doubts about Yuuka's powers.....
Quotes from her Memento's page:
"The ability to manipulate flowers is something to the extent being able to make flowers bloom, shift the face of sunflowers towards the sun, or make withered flowers bloom again."
"Completely unrelated to her abilities, she uses her umbrella and scatters flower petals to perform graceful attacks."
1) I guess this is more for those who can translate the original japanese but: what does "able to make flowers bloom" EXACTLY mean? That she can make already existing flower buds open up, or that she can make flowers grow from the ground?
2) Despite Akyuu's claim that it's unrelated, i doubt that Yuuka goes around with her pockets full of petals and, WHILE PERFORMING AN ATTACK, toss them in the air....
Does this mean that her "manipulation of flowers" allow her to create petals in the air?
Personally, up until know i believed that she can actually make flowers grow anywhere (NORMAL flowers, not those lovecraftian flower-monsters that many fanartist seems to like >_>) and can create petals from nothing.....
After all Akyuu herself admit that she is more like a force of nature than a normal youkai, and even mere fairies can create at will the element they represent (ie. Cirno).
3) I remember that in one of the PC-98 games there was an ending where Yuuka acquire the "ultimate magic", and that not even ZUN had any idea what that means.
Is that ending considered the canon one? (although the PC-98 games aren't much canon to begin with
)
