Why is our new Global Mod so smexy? Just checking in to offer my services. :V
Who was the one who led the mission to help Byakuren?
Well, according to the translation of Shou's bio:
"A few hundred years after Byakuren disappeared, the temple was in great disarray. And so, Byakuren's friends who'd been sealed deep beneath the earth returned.
She didn't want to have any more regrets. She wouldn't run away.
She told Murasa and the others how to lift the seal. She was, after all, a youkai.
She wanted to put all her power into bringing Byakuren back.
"In order to break the seal, we'll need the power of Myouren, Byakuren's brother.
And the only things left are a flying treasury and the floating treasures...
Murasa, let's take the ship and go look for it!""
And from Murasa's:
"A few hundred years passed.
Byakuren, the youkai saviour, had been captured and sealed by humans.
At the same time, anything related to Byakuren was buried deep beneath the earth.
Murasa, too, had been buried deep beneath the earth with the Tobikura.
She never imagined she would be sent flying back above ground by a geyser.
And so, she made a pledge:
"This time, I'll be the one to save Byakuren. Yes, riding the ship that Byakuren created."
So Shou's the one who suggested the idea initially, but Murasa's bio seems to indicate she wanted to do it anyway. So you could consider it being Shou who led, but it was pretty much a combined effort.
(And unrelated note, perusing Shou's bio reveals that Nazrin is originally Bishamonten's helper who was assigned to Shou to keep tabs on her. Interesting.)
Hey Drake, What kind of gear does ZUN use to create music?
