Title: Who do you think would live the longest in Touhou?
Post by: andykhang on October 01, 2016, 10:20:56 AM
Like title. Assuming no one tried to kill each other and live peacefully, who do you think would live to see everyone else die first? My choice would be Star Sapphire, since it would take a loooong time (I'm talking about when all the star die out) for her to disappear.

Yep, pretty sure anyone who qualifies as immortal would likely live the longest.

Since there are things such as a youkai that lived a little too long(past their prime but still looking prime), assume every youkai can extend their lives to a questionable numbers of times.

And fairies are like part of nature, so as long as nature and gensoukyo exist

And yeah every kind of immortals if its peaceful.
And the non livings?

So aside from humans & animals every other native have some way to infinite existence to gensoukyo limit (just need the shinigamis to be komachis)

& houraihax

amirite?

I'd say the hourai immortals. Youkai are long lived, but they still die eventually. Even faster if they're exterminated/humans lose fear in them. Same with Lunarians. Fairies live as long as the thing they embody exists yeah... but eventually all the stars will blink out. Eventually. Whereas, from what we know, even after all the stars go out, and the earth is swallowed by a giant black hole, and the universe implodes on itself, the hourai immortals will still be around.

I am going to be a little different and nominate Miko and Byakuren.

There are a lot of simply immortal characters in Gensokyo, so it would be a tie with at least the hourai immortals.

Yeah, it's most likely that the hourai users will be the most plausible winners in all of this.

If there is not some way they do not know where they can die, of course. (Like, the black hole swallow).

I'm going to go with the Hourai immortals as well, due to the fact that they're literally incapable of dying.

I'm going to be a little different and say the dragon god.

Actually the Touhou series has a lot of immortals besides Mokou and Kaguya...

- Every single fairy, they may die however they ressurect kinda like Mokou when they are killed
- Yukari, Ran, Tenshi, Yuuka
- The 8 Million Gods such as Minoriko and Hina...
- Sanae if she becomes a God through faith
- Komachi, Eiki and Hecatia as well as Junko
- Everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion
Not counting Yuyuko and Youmu of course. Speaking of Youmu her human side may die however she is half ghost so her human half would make her 100% ghost...

You get where i'm going, really Mokou really oughta start making friends because while their immortality has a different nature... they potentialy will live as much as Mokou and Kaguya.

Fairies disappear after the thing they embody disappears. So after all the ice melts, Cirno will cease to exist.
Gods aren't immortal either. They're like youkai- once people lose faith in them, they cease to exist. That's why Kanako went to Gensokyo in the first place- people in the outside world are losing faith in gods, so if she doesn't find some other source of faith she and suwako will disappear.
Eiki and Komachi aren't immortal either. They're essentially like any other god or youkai. Long lived, but they can still die or be killed.
And no one in the SDM is immortal.

Basically, very few characters in touhou can be considered truly unable to die. The only ones I can think of are the hourais and Yuyuko, and I don't think Yuyuko really counts as "immortal" for obvious reasons.

That said, Purvis might actually be right.  The Dragon God is a freaking dragon which, as we know, have brilliant barrettes that make them immortal.

Shit your right. He even eats an Armageddon spell no worries. Change my answer to this.

Immortals are immortals. No contest. Eirin, kaguya and mokou will live the longest, period. I don't know which mortal will live the longest

Basically anyone who had acess to the Hourai Elixer. That means Eirin, Kaguya, Mokou, Chang'e and potentialy Lord Tsukuyomi.
