With all the Touhou nerfs recently let's try to give them a small buff. Well one character at least. To start off with let's show the Celestials.
Celestials (Õñ®õ║║ tennin, literally "sky person", "heaven person" or "deva") are former humans, a type of hermit that can be divided in two classes: those who gained immortality and ascended to Heave, and those who attained enlightenment and entered Nirvana; the latter lack physical bodies and must possess others to re-enter the world. An earthly hermit can undergo training to qualify for promotion to celestial, but most celestials are transformed from normal humans on a case-by-case basis.
Celestials aren't exactly angels but are instead formerly humans. Mainly a type of hermit that ascended into what they desire, whether they end up in Niravana or become an angelic being. Of course Tenshi seems more like the type that ended up in heaven because A) she's in heaven and B) not much facts support her being something from Nirvana.
From the looks of it too humans/hermits should be able to turn into Celestials if the criteria is met. It should be relating to the same requirements for asciension such as throwing away earthly desires and becoming stronger. Miko and Byakuren desire immortality, the latter has it more as a side goal and is really less of a focus, and one of the best ways to end up being immortal is to basically become a Celestial.
Yet neither of them are on that level yet despite being Small Country-Level OP Mages. That should mean that celestials are on an equal level if not higher than them. And that includes Tenshi who's still a credible Celestial. So what I'm basically arguing is Small Country Level Troublemaking Tenshi.
It's arguable that they could have chosen not to become celestial but why would Toyosatom-Tosa-Toyota... The Miko that is Byakuren's rival lose that chance? She doesn't seem to have any other goals right now unlike Byakuren. Arguing that Byakuren is too busy is another factor but if she became a Celestial won't her words be more meaningful to humans and youkai?
Considering that other final bosses are on a higher level or similar level, well basically this is also supported by the fact that in canon Tenshi >>> Cirno who's Island level. Using the idea of Stages mean power is silly, but take into account the level of power of the character. It might be a danmaku match but the 'final boss ranking' still accounts for just what a celestial is.
Other Final Bosses
Well maybe considering that final bosses/religious leaders have a level comparable to SmallCountry level feats.
Should be appicable to Scarlet Sisters (Then again they already are), Yuyuko, Mokou, Kaguya, Eirin's low end, Miko and Byakuren (Both already have it).
TLDR
- Hermits and Buddhists want to be immortal so why not become Celestial? Or are they not strong enough?
- Small Country level scaling for final boss-esque characters
Also for an additional note, I feel like this should be added to Eirin's equipment. It's debatable on whether it should be included for the main characters but since they used it... Well open to suggestions. Either way it's a creation of hers that basically makes them temporarily immortal and be capable of seeing the future.
