Talk:Youmu Konpaku vs Danny Phantom/@comment-31189923-20170131004500

I'm rooting for Youmu on this. They're both half-human, half-phantom, have flight abilities, and long-range attacks. However, Youmu is superior in point-blank range with her swords. Plus, her Roukanken is capable of killing 10 spirits in one stroke. However, in Touhou lore, one cannot actually kill spirits. This contrasts with the lore in Danny Phantom, which says that ghosts are "otherwordly creatures" from the Ghost Zone according to the creator. There are exceptions to this rule, like Desiree and Sydney Poindexter (yes, I read the other wiki for this.) Which may lead to speculations on how effective Danny's weapons are against her. Also, her second sword, Hakurouken, can send ghosts into nirvana (whatever that is.) Not to mention, she has been training all her life with weapons. And I haven't even touched the spellcards yet.

There are weaknesses I can find that may work on Danny's favor. Ironically, she is scared of ghost stories so a trip to the Ghost Zone may freak her out. Another thing is that her human-half and phantom-half are actually separate beings. So Danny may have the ability to possess Youmu (speculation.) Also, she is vulnerable to the Fenton Thermos (Danny is also vulnerable to getting caught on this.) And if allowed, Danny has access to different ghost-catching gadgets.

Lastly, Touhou lore states that Danmaku is more of a "girl's game" so it's possible that the characters present in the actual touhou games may just be holding themselves to not severely injure/kill their opponent. So what happens when Youmu goes no-bars held? Well, speculation or not (even the touhou lore debates this), her Roukanken does say it can kill spirits so....

To put it in a list, in case you still don't understand:

-Youmu's swords beat everything

-She has trained her whole life to fight

-Counter argument: Vulnerable to the Fenton Thermos and other ghost-catching gadgets, can be possessed by Danny, easily scared of ghost stories, Danmaku's damage is only close to tearing clothes

-Danmaku does not really measure one's strength, and may suggest. It's more of a "girl's play-fight" and if they really want to kill, "a ratio of 10:1 bullets wouldn't be necessary." Zun explains.

Any other counter-arguments you may know why Danny Phantom should win? Feel free to response and prove me wrong. I know I'm missing a lot here.
