Explaining why I chose these characters out of the hundreds that exist... now!!


Utsuho Reiuzi as a Red Lantern: Of all the characters in the series/franchise, I can't really pinpoint anyone that would let their own rage consume them. Unless it was Yamame, but that's just taking mild frustration and blowing it out of proportion. Also, nuclear power = nuclear-level rage. Meh. As for the whole "energy channeled from mouth spewing" thing... ah, don't ask. She'd probably just cough up ashes, anyways.

Rin "Orin" Kaenbyou as Agent Orange: She appears as a mid-boss THREE times and as the boss of Stage 5 for SA. The first reason is because she wants to see if you can really handle calming her friend down. The second reason is solely to collect your corpse. As a kasha (demonic wheelbarrow that collects corpses and whisks them off to Hell), this might be expected behavior.

Nue Houjuu as a Yellow Lantern/Sinestro Corp member: Her ability is described, basically, as "hiding her true form." Now, I would have chosen Kogasa because her whole purpose in life is scaring people; I think she states at one point that she thrives on the fear of humans, and is disappointed that neither of the three heroines she faces are scared of her. However, Nue can use her powers to, perhaps, manifest one's fears or show off her ghastly Lovecraftian true form.

Marisa Kirisame as a Green Lantern: While Marisa IS a thief, later games don't focus as much on her thieving shenanigans and Flanderization doesn't take place when it comes to that. Usually. She's not only one of the most straightforward characters in the series, she also does have a lot of willpower if you look at her background: of the playable human characters in the series, Reimu has natural talent and the power of the gods and boundaries, and doesn't need to practice much; Sakuya is described as a "perfect elegant maid" and is known for efficiency; Sanae is for the most part in the same rut as Reimu; so it leaves Marisa. She studies very hard on her spells and has to learn them the hard way, and can't even fly without her broomstick. This all pays off as she has a lot of raw power, and improves every day.

Nitori Kawashiro as a Blue Lantern: Gensokyo is for the most part a happy place and many have some amount of hope in their hearts. But Nitori probably has the most, being so optimistic and whatnot. Especially in SA, she isn't very cynical or serious like Alice or Patchouli (whoops typo, lol), and she's one of those characters you just can't see being anything BUT a good guy.

Byakuren Hijiri as an Indigo Tribe member: When Byakuren began hunting youkai but secretly saved them from danger in order to preserve her own powers, she had learned about the troubles that the youkai faced, and all the discrimination they received. Eventually, Byakuren sought for equality amongst humans and youkai, not only gaining popularity amongst both eastern and western fans alike for her peaceful ideals, but even so far as to be nicknamed Youkai Jesus in the west (she was even sealed underground for "their sins"). Ichirin, Murasa, and Shou all talk about how kind she is, and what she does for the greater good. I think that's proof enough for me.

Alice Margatroid as a Star Sapphire: This is kind of taking fanon and blowing it out of proportion, but of the romantic connotations in the series, MAlice seems to be the most likely to be canon. There really doesn't seem to be other candidates, or it could just be fanon making Alice's "love" for Marisa that much more on a shiny pedestal.

Youmu Konpaku as a Black Lantern: I actually had to think a bit on whether to use her or Yuyuko. While Yuyuko is indeed dead, and her corpse may be risen in order to join the ranks, well... Yukari wouldn't ever let that happen since the poor girl's corpse is needed to seal away a demonic cherry blossom tree for all eternity. Youmu is something of a walking half-corpse, but... ah, it's too complicated!!

Orin or Cirno would be adequate choices of Green Lanterns. Marisa would be an Orange Lantern (And steal Larfleeze's many precious things). And Hina would probably be a Blue Lantern.

Alice? As Star Sapphire? LOL, she's one of the coldest persons in Touhou. Alice's "love" or whatever is all fanon.

Mokou would have been the perfect red lantern. Her eternal rage towards Kaguya is near limitless, an immortal hate.

Should update Konpaku with Yoshika.

Rest are fine I guess.

And Fujiwara no Mokou as a Red Lantern. She really hate Kaguya Houraisan. Because when kaguya as the moon princess, humiliated mokou's father by turning down his marriage proposal after he failed her trial of the Impossible Requests. So mokou wants revenge and retribution to kaguya. She Will struggle with kaguya in hate and rage. Foevermore.

I think sanae kochiya as a Blue Lantern. She has power to cause miracles to occur. and that needs Hope. and will too.

That's very true! If I make a remake of this meme, I'll definitely use Sanae as a Blue Lantern.

White Lantern wasn't in the original meme. So, um, go ask the original guy who made it!

I think Mokou should be the Red Lantern. She's been holding a grudge against Kaguya for years! They even kill each other daily plus, she had fiery powers too.

Anyway, I still like this!

Red Lanterns aren't fire so much as it's... plasma. I think. Plus, the rivalry's died down more or less.

Ok, now I get why Utsuho is the Red Lantern because of her nuclear fusion powers. Now what makes me wonder is why people debate over Byakuren's hair color but not Utsuho's hair color. It's just lighting that made Byakuren's hair look purple-ish.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

gardenia-penn In reply to TornadoGleam [2010-09-08 15:05:18 +0000 UTC]

Because it's more or less canon that Okuu's hair color is black. The slight coloring you see in this pic is a) the result of tasofro art, and b) me messing with Photoshop.

Byakuren is more iffy because of the scroll over her head and whether or not it gives the glow that gives Byakuren her signature hair color(s).

Marisa also could have been a Violet Lantern. LOVE Sign: Master Spark, after all.

True, but it would be harder to find someone who has Willpower. For me, at least.

Also, for black Lantern, you could use Mima.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

gardenia-penn In reply to SagashiIndustries [2010-02-17 02:32:19 +0000 UTC]

Well, in the canonical sense, Mima is dead. But the thing about a Black Lantern is that there has to be a corpse to rise, and so far as we know, Mima has none.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SagashiIndustries In reply to gardenia-penn [2010-02-17 02:39:27 +0000 UTC]

Plus there's that fan theory that Mima is one and the same as Marisa. Maybe Youki Konpaku, Youmu's father?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

gardenia-penn In reply to SagashiIndustries [2010-02-17 03:31:57 +0000 UTC]

I've never heard of that theory.

I'd bring in Youki, but I decided on Youmu instead. Blah.

SagashiIndustries In reply to gardenia-penn [2010-02-27 19:12:14 +0000 UTC]

Also, Reimu could have been an Agent Orange. I don't see Marisa or Sakuya looting Mayohiga, after all.

gardenia-penn In reply to SagashiIndustries [2010-02-28 05:22:43 +0000 UTC]

But that was a one-time thing, and she wasn't very persistent about it like how Orin was for Reimu's/Marisa's corpse.

SagashiIndustries In reply to gardenia-penn [2010-02-28 11:57:17 +0000 UTC]

She is actually pretty greedy, though. And of the two main characters, Marisa's probably the better person.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

gardenia-penn In reply to SagashiIndustries [2010-03-02 16:28:11 +0000 UTC]

But the thing about the greed in the case of an Orange Lantern is that it's persistant. When Marisa steals books from, say, Patchouli, she tells her that she'll "have them back when I die." An Orange Lantern does not know of the meaning "return" or "borrow", and Orin does not want to "return" Reimu's/Marisa's corpse. When it's hers, it's hers.

You've read about the Lanterns, right?

Hmm. In any case, read up about the Lanterns on Wikipedia if you want more info.

The Touhou character "Star Sapphire". She could fill that role just because of her name.
