Further justifications for Reimu's Weapon Control (Touhou Project)

[Shmooply]

i somehow found this before i found the source of fantasy nature allowing reimu to float out of reality my sanity weakens
Many Touhou ability additions CRTs ago, Reimu got Weapon Control due to her having a move in the fighting games where she throws her gohei and it does a lil' spin move on the ground.

Weapon Control (Can make her gohei spin on its own as an attack)

However, this evidence feels rather weak, and there's more to it than this. In the same clips we can see her gohei fly to her when it's far away from her hands, and there's also some text in the omake for Double Dealing Character that states that the gohei can chase enemies on its own.

毎度お馴染みの巫女さん。博麗神社の巫女さん。

　　お祓い棒と読んでいるが正式名称は大幣（おおぬさ）。
　　勝手に敵をお祓いに行くが、若干追尾速度に難があるので敵の近くま
　　で持っていって投げつけてやる方が良い。

　　なんかお祓い棒に使われているようで釈然としないが……

The all-too-familiar shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine.

Her weapon's called a purification rod, but its formal name is the oonusa.
It chases enemies on its own to purify them, but since its homing speed is somewhat bad,
she has more success carrying it up to the enemies and then throwing it.

Somehow, it doesn't seem to be very satisfactory as a purification rod.

Just some nice extra proof for her Weapon Control.

This is actually a side effect of the Miracle Mallet (as explained here, and here, and here once again), and similar things were happening to Marisa's Mini-Hakkero and Sakuya's knives. However, just so this thread isn't a total bust, Reimu can make her ofuda stop in midair and redirect themselves towards her opponent.

Reimu can float away from anything and everything that exists (the translation says "all sorts of things", but IN's translation is infamously wack, and iirc there was a CRT a long time ago agreeing that it was more accurately "everything that exists" [or something along those lines]).

I may be stupid.

Just gonna add this to her profile along with the Grimoire of Marisa stuff, since for some reason Intangibility and some of her other important abilities don't have scans.
