Yeah, we have Okina, but what about Hecatia?
Lt Colonel Summers:
ZUN had already said that Hecatia is more powerful than everyone from Gensokyo. That would presumably include Okina who doesn't yet exist in canon when that statement was made.
TrueShadow:
Yep, Hecatia's just a super chill person. Okina, much like Kanako, is a classic god who demands piety, faith, and worship, and to get that she puts out magnificent displays of godly miracles.
Hecatia is something completely different than the other gods we know. She already existed way before humanity, and was already chilling in her Hell. She's one of the leaders of Hell, but it's really just because she's too strong and they don't want to get in her bad side, and she's free to do whatever she wants. She's the landlady for the afterlife, basically.
TresserT:
To elaborate, in AFiEU it was explained that in Hell they just call anyone who's extremely powerful a God or a Goddess. In other words, none of the rules and mechanics that apply to gods as we know them necessarily apply to Hecatia. She's something we've never seen before.
The most we know about Okina is that she played a big part in the creation Gensokyo. Which doesn't help much since Yukari and Spoiler: Kasen did too, and both of their power, Yukari's especially, have been a huge subject of debate. Okina's only real feats are powering up fairies and creating youkai. That's not to say she's weak, just that we hardly have any information on her.
Spoiler: By the way aren't discussions like this forbidden
Drake:
This is less of a powerlevels argument and more talking about who these characters even are, really. No reason to push any brakes unless people actively start trying to argue like idiots about it.
Shizzo:
I'm not too familiar with Greek religion, but aren't Greek goods basically super powerful beings too? Compared to the Touhou Gods we've seen so far, who subside in faith and worship, perhaps Hecatia's described herself as 'basically super powerful' a way to simplify that the greek pantheon works differently?
Sure people erect temples to all sorts of greek gods, but perhaps in the touhou-canon that is more out of respect than an actual necessity.
