Oops, sorry. Put it into qoutes now, spoilers didn't want to work.

Really, all you need do is upload the images to Tinychat or Imgur - like you did - and then use the image tag, or link to them if they're too big.

Sir Amat: I actually did the Tinypic upload for him once I noticed that he was hotlinking directly to TF's website.

Here's my translation.

Almighty Taoist who governs the universe
Toyosatomimi no Miko


Hope is disappearing from humans' hearts.
Thinking about this, Miko decided to become hope herself, and save the world.
To this end, first she must be defeat those in the same trade who stand in her way, and win over people?s hearts.
So, Miko has come to visit the oldest religious institution in Gensokyo.


Special Ability: The Divinely Appointed Stateswoman
[NOTE: 天職, literally "heaven-given occupation", first used to refer to the duty of the Japanese emperor, later became the standard translation of the Protestant concept of "calling".]

Absorb the audience's desires when gaining popularity.
After absorbing a large amount of desires, all attacks will be enhanced.
On the other hand, the gathered desires will be released upon losing popularity.
Lose too many desires, and your attacks will be weaker than normal.
You must pay even more attention to the audience than everyone else.



Last Word: Suppression by the commands of Sovereign
[NOTE: referencing the 3rd article of Shoutoku's Constitution, Do not fail to obey the commands of your Sovereign]

Pouring all her hermit power and the popularity gathered from the audience into her shaku ritual baton [NOTE: typo in the original text], turning it into a huge sword of light to strike at the battlefield.
The attack is restricted to the middle of the field, bu the sword of light can't be grazed or guarded. Any opponent within its range will be overwhelmed.



Summary of blog:

She's the embodiment of the Taoist type, specializing in lasers and beams.
Like a turret, she's strong against opponents on the same altitude, and have trouble dealing with those aren't.

The increase and decrease of popularity is recorded by her unique parameter, at a certain level triggering her strengthened state or weakened state, at which point the color of her cape will change, so you can know her state without looking at her gauge.

Has specials that automatically increase her popularity, and skills that consume her internal charge.

The special in the screenshot is "Seventeen Lines of Lasers". She cuts open space with her sword, and lasers come out of the rift.
At reduced popularity, there will be less than 17 lasers.

The gaijin 4koma is a universal language, right?

For as long as that meme has been around, I can't say I'm surprised it's made its way to Japan. Still made me shout-laugh to see it here, though.

While the four guys in the photos are IGN editors, this meme actually originated on 2ch.

It is interesting how it isn't exactly Gaijin 4koma, though. The second image resembles it; the first, not so much. It's clear what it's referencing, though.

There are quite a few possibilities. It's a late (15 century and later) Chinese-style structure, built with stone rather than wood, making it look like a mausoleum (because in ancient China generally only tombs are built with all stone). Netherworld, Higan, Senkai and somehow previously unrevealed structure in Gensokyo are all possibilities.

Also take notice of the hermit-looking old men in the middle of the stage.

Now that two Taoists have been revealed, we can probably expect Sanae (Moriya Shrine stage, most likely) and either Kanako or Suwako (Wind God's Lake stage?); and with them, most of the MoF cast as background characters.

I think we can safely rule out the likes of Rumia, Yuuka, and the Watas. I mean come on now.

That'll bring us to 5 characters announced, of about 9 or 10 at the rate Tasofro is going.  So... who are the 4-5 wild cards?

Someone seems to have identified the building in the back as Seitenkyuu, a famous Taoist temple in Saitama.

I've seen that Aya before.


But it has been posted on Twitter a a long time ago

Was never able to found the full image of her.

The shop probably thought that image was official or something.  :V

Miko looks great, I'd like to play her but I guess it's pretty clear which side I'll take.
Also, well played Tasofro. They really have good sense of humor. At this rate, I'm more excited to see the references that they'll put rather than the character themselves, unless Kanako is confirmed. Now that would be great.

And somebody who's less lazy than me should photoshop some Gurren Lagann glasses onto Miko, what with the cape and all.
Not my work.

More observation from my friends:

-Youmu is feeding Yuyuko rice balls.

-The Tojiko behind Futo is too large to be a background character, but doesn't seem like either character is summoning her for an attack. She might be there as a curse/status ailment, similar to Zappa's curses from Guilty Gear.

I really like the new character designs.

Byakuren looks more like a monk with the traditional rice hat, prayer beads around her neck and the six-ring staff (shakujo). Since all of the three can be seen as items related to Buddhism.

While Miko looks more like someone important... well, the cape really adds to her "greatness" and can be seen as an item that represents power.

Sweetness and love~ ♥

I'm not a big fan of her cape. I liked the gradient color in her design. Now there's all this purple. The in game sprite is also disappointing. That cape is red, a color that isn't even in her design.

It is said to change colors, depending on Miko's popularity.
