Magical Glace Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Or what if Remilia made her a vampire? As for her age, ZUN directly stated that "she plays the role of a human maid about 10 to 20 years old"[4] and "perhaps she is a character in her early teens[5], and in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, according to Hieda no Akyuu, "she claims to be in her late teens", but acts with the mannerisms of someone and the level of her ability seems like that of a human that's been living for more than a hundred years. According to a quote from Remilia Scarlet and Sakuya's ending in Imperishable Night (Good Ending #3), Sakuya has been working at the Scarlet Devil Mansion for so long, Remilia doesn't feel it fitting to call her human. With a comment like that, it seems safe enough to assume she has been at the Scarlet Devil Mansion for an extremely long time. ZUN has stated in his e-mails that Sakuya is not her real name and that she is not from Gensokyo. According to her profile in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, her power to control time distanced her from humans, and she eventually gave up trying to be friendly with them. It is unknown how she came to work for the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Mystery and Theory Sakuya Izayoi is a character that holds a few mysteries. These are theories among the fanbase about the Touhou Project that may or may not be true on most cases. This section will concerns a well-known mysteries in relation to Sakuya Izayoi. These are to be noted to only use official material, and a caveat can be suggested to be conjectures on most parts. Hieda no Akyuu states there are several theories regarding Sakuya's origins and/or behaviour (including she is a homunculus, a zombie, or an eccentric).[1] Sakuya's Species In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Sakuya was speculated by Hieda no Akyuu to be a Lunarian as well as having Reimu Hakurei also questioning her humanity in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. However, Sakuya insists and refers to herself as a human extremely often. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states her ability to control time is an ability that humans may be able to possess. Sakuya doesn't seem to react abnormally regarding to either the Lunarians from the Moon or theitself in any official work, nor does any "alien" in regards to Sakuya. For example, Watatsuki no Yorihime doesn't show any recognition of her. Even Eirin Yagokoro's profile from Imperishable Night may be referring to another aspect of Sakuya. ZUN's E-mails has referred to her as human, as do most of her official profiles (that the question of Sakuya's humanity continued to come up in-story means this isn't necessarily definitive proof). In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Hieda no Akyuu sees Sakuya as having an existence outside of human. This may have an indirect relation to this theory. In relation to Kaguya and Sakuya's abilities Kaguya Houraisan's "Ability to manipulating eternity and the instantaneous" and Sakuya's "Ability to manipulating time" have some sort of a resemblance. Compared to how Kaguya can manipulate time locally (manipulation of eternity = slow down, manipulation of the instantaneous = speed up), as opposed to how Sakuya can manipulates time in a broader sense, the ability itself seems to be something that would come from a relative of Kaguya. Akyuu also evaluated her Kaguya's ability, saying that it is "manipulation of time". However, it is still possible to conceive of this as being a coincidence. In relation to Sakuya's eyes been red In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, and possibly Immaterial and Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody's spell cards, there are parts when her eyes become red. In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, it may possibly be due to the scarlet mist incident, but it was inferred that those were to manipulate the eyes of insanity. In Imperishable Night, at the scene where Remilia Scarlet worried that Sakuya might become insane at the time Kaguya cast the light of the true full moon, even when Sakuya looked at the true full moon there did not seem to be any abnormality caused by the full moon. The true full moon grants magic power to youkai and dirties the mind/spirit of humans. In short, there are no species, other than lunarians, that are not influenced by the mysterious power of the moon. Although the leader rabbit Reisen Udongein Inaba possesses red eyes for the sake of her ability of manipulating insanity, regarding Reisen, if Watatsuki no Toyohime and Watatsuki no Yorihime, who have received combat training, were the instructors who taught this ability to manipulate insanity, then for the lunarians to manipulate the eyes of insanity itself would be a characteristic ability, then the question as to why Sakuya possesses red eyes would not come to an end. Despite that, Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame passed through seeing the moon just fine; they've got their own reason however why they don't become insane. In relation to Konohana-Sakuyahime ZUN has said that the contents of Touhou Bougetsushou contained a hint as for the reason why Eirin Yagokoro was surprised at seeing Sakuya. In Cage in Lunatic Runagate, there appeared another character with the same first name, Konohana-Sakuyahime. If Eirin is indeed Yagokoro Omoikane no Kami, or at least related Omoikane, Eirin would know Konohana-Sakuyahime since she is the husband of Ninigi-no-Mikoto, the nephew of Omoikane. Thus, the fact that Sakuya shares the same name as someone familiar like that would be a reason why Eirin would be surprised. Since the two share the same first name though, there's a possibility that Sakuya is based off of Konohana-Sakuyahime or at least in some other way related. In the Kojiki, Konohana-Sakuyahime was written as "木花之佐久夜", where the "夜" corresponds to the "ya", therefore making every part of the name "Sakuya" with a basis in Konohana-Sakuyahime. Furthermore, there were tales related to Konohana-Sakuyahime where she can be seen to be controlling time like Sakuya, like the tale of the one-night pregnancy and the delivery in the middle of fire. Vampire Hunter Sakuya being a vampire hunter is a theory that's the widely accepted by Akyuu), based on the fact that her silver knives are the same kind used to slay vampires and other demons. Silver is one of the prime weaknesses of vampires. The theory that was said by Akyuu claims that long ago, a young vampire hunter was training herself, defeating smaller demons in an unknown location, but never had the chance to fight a vampire. Confident in her abilities, she decided to set out on a journey to slay vampires and ended up at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. There she saw Remilia Scarlet, who was surprisingly strong, and Remilia easily defeated her. However, Remilia wanted the girl's power for herself, so she spared her life and gave her a new name, which also gave her a completely opposite fate: Sakuya Izayoi. Sakuya then became the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion before it was moved to Gensokyo. This may also have some relation to her species theory.
