It Just Bugs Me: The lack of Yuuka vs. Flan

[Recon 5]

So these two are normally portrayed as invincible powerhouses on their own and have been shown steamrolling over almost everyone else at one point or another. However, I find it curious that I haven't been able to find a single picture of them fighting each other (interestingly,pairing pics are also surprisingly rare). Is there some sort of unspoken rule against that?

Note that there are probably other vs. pairings that I haven't noticed the absence of yet but Yuuka vs. Flan is the most obvious in the divide-by-zero sense.

[Helix ⑨]

Yuuka = flower = likes sun
Flan = Vamp = hates sun

COMMON SENSE! It's like searching for a fat person at the olympics, it just won't happen.

For further references, see Gensokyo Logic.

[Recon 5]

Yuuka = flower = likes sun
Flan = Vamp = hates sun

Yuuka vs. Remi is a bit more common (read: existent) though.

(booru, etc.)

[Helix ⑨]

If we apply the rule that there is no logic in gensokyo, the only possible reason could be: Nobody bothered to draw it.

[OkashiiKisei]

They never drew a Yuuka vs Flan pic 'cuz letting those two fight each other would tear the fabric of reality into itty, bitty pieces.

It'd be close, but my money's on Yuuka. She does have the ultimate magic, according to Kioh Gyoku. Stole it from Makai.

Uh... this isn't a discussion on the outcome of such a fight, but simply about the reasons (divide-by-zero aside) that it hasn't been depicted yet despite being possibly the most epic matchup conceivable. I can't think of any explanation myself that goes beyond 'it just hasn't been done, is all'.

[Helix ⑨]

They were too busy drawing yukkuris and nudes of sanae.

Yes, yes, I know. It's quite strange. Pixiv and Danbooru don't have anything to say on the matter.

[Cadmas]

Good artists don't seem to have much imagination. Just the same old pairings.

[Drake]

NSFW.

[Naut]

x = vs nowadays

No complaints, however.

[CK Crash]

I'm pretty sure there's a fight between them in Mima's RiG fanfic, not sure if that counts though.

I wonder myself what Kioh Gyoku ultimate magic was supposed to be, it is so vague.

Flan can break shit by just closing her palms, if she was insane, the world would have ended, and Yuka would not even have a chance. I think...
unless the ultimate magic can cancel her power.

[Naut]

if [insert almost any Touhou character here] was insane, the world would have ended

Fixed that for you bro

Let's not turn this in to a power level discussion :V

Yeah, almost any character could get the world at it's knees if she learned/trained/is in the mood for using their power in a world threatening way. Well, almost every character. Lily doesn't really stand much of a chance to rule the word with her power, and there are many characters like that. So it's not really every Touhou character.

[Reddyne]

I didn't know Yuuka was fighting her addiction to European desserts.

[Sen]

Come Okashii! With Shinki and Yuuka combined, GENSOKYO, NAY, THE WORLD WILL CRUMBLE BEFORE US!

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Alice★f]

NSFW.

Hit the nail right on the head.

I'm just guessing that's it's not readily thought of.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

thing is what exactly is Yuka's extend of power?

in what I read about her profile, it equals to = the manipulation of nature.

[Bias Bus]

We really don't know what Yuuka's Ultimate Magic is, while we DO know that Flandre's power is to break shit in an instant. So far, there's not much going for Yuuka except crazy power and her enigmatic trump card. I want to say Flandre's got this, but I also don't want to count out Yuuka simply because of a variable that should have been explained ages ago :/

This.

Spoiler:

No, I'm not just saying this to be an ass. It's true and everyone knows it.

[Patorikku]

No power in Gensokyo is limited because we of the "real world" believe in limits to bloody well everything. While we're on the reversal subject, we also believe just about anything will give us cancer, so no noticeable causes of cancer in Gensokyo either... Hey, let's all move to Gensokyo!  :V

Really, in a fight between just about any character in Touhou, the danmaku rules would come into play, and then the fight would play out by who dodges the best, and end just as any Touhou game would, with tea parties and proof of one character's dodging/danmaku-spewing skills. If they fought with their real powers, then say goodbye to Gensokyo unless one of the higher-ups with a lot of power notices and cares.

[Kuma]

You know what bugs ME?
Wriggle :V

where Touhou is concerned that is.

This. I imagine the spell card rules were partially designed to prevent a MAD scenario when two unreasonably badass youkai meet. Instead of simultaneously murdering each other, they play magic paintball, then have tea.

[Sabino]

I'll pretend I never heard that artists and imagination theory...

Anyhow, I'd say its just difficult to put two characters with very little relevance together.
Yes both of them being at the most feared Touhou list, I'd admit is true, but its just like how we don't see
anything fighting between characters like:
Yuyuko and Utsuho, Kaguya and Yuugi, Tenshi and Kanako, Iku and Ran ... etc. (Unless it was a parody of something)

Additionally, Yuuka probably won't resort to violence as long as it doesn't get past her line of competence or her flower garden (Or she really wanted to bully somebody but that can be done without violence).
... However, for the same reasons, I do see some heartwarming pictures of Yuuka and Flan.

[Chainsaw Guitar]

You know what bugs me? the lack Alice x Meiling. :ohdear:

[OkashiiKisei]

You know what bugs me? the lack Alice x Meiling. :ohdear:

Since when have they ever had a connection?

[Merp]

Dunno about yuuka vs flan but there's a doujin with a bit of yuuka+yukari vs remi and some Kaguya/mokou vs flandre by tohonifun.
