The markets are collapsing... The villagers are losing faith... The tengu and youkai have turned elsewhere... The other gods have turned a blind eye...
But, even with everything failing... You'll stay with me, right? You won't leave my side.
Please... don't leave me. Don't take my rainbow from me.
I will never abandon you, Chimata-sama!!
>>49273490 (OP)I think it's sad that the dork jokes or the gay ceo jokes overshadow the tragedy to Chimata's character. She's like Kogasa, only where Kogasa ascended in a sense, Chimata had a fall from grace. She has to put on a facade of egotism when, in reality, she's alone and stuck as a pawn in the schemes of others and is aware of this state yet powerless to stop it. Chimata doesn't even get to have the comfort of friends, the only people who bother to be around her are those who hope to use her powers for a quick buck.
CHIMATAAAAAAAAAA! MAKE ME RICH AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
Why does she have so much huge breasts art?
Why would I abandon her when she is so based?
>>49273490 (OP)Chimata... You only seek me for favours. Have you thought of me when you threw a dinner? Or invite me for coffee? Even when we are related, by your tube-fox-in-law? You didn't want to be involved with me, and now you call me "friend"? You had you villagers, your consumers, your market and thought to be safe, when if you were really a close friend, you wouldn't have to worry about anything? My faith, would be your faith, my strength would be your strength, your market would be a part of mine.
>>49273515Realy? I see the other kami getting much more big boobs art compared to her.
I'm always chasing rainbows...
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain
Chimata-sama...please wait a bit longer...I am coming to see you in Shizuoka where you still are worshipped as Kamu Oichime...and later in your very special market...I'm sorry it's taken so long, Chimata-sama.
I don't respect Chimata and I never will.
>>49275836This. ChimaWHO?
>>49273657why does she get so much art with Keiki is what I'm wondering. Is there a mythological connection or something?
>>49273490 (OP)YOU RUINED MY 401k YOU FUCK
>>49276090No, but it makes sense. Wily Beast and Unconnected Marketeers came out back to back. Chimata-sama is a market goddess and Keiki-sama is a sculptor goddess. Keiki-sama has the additive primary colors, Chimata-sama has the substractive primary colors. Keiki-sama has long hair, Chimata-sama has short hair. They have a lot of contrasting but complementary features. Also, a single artist making good enough horny shipping art of two characters can shift the popular perception, and that might have also happened.
>>49276095lol yeah i'm sure you're the epitome of the well informed investor who gets it
I believe in the free market. I have faith in you, Chimata-sama!
This stupid goddess nearly killed every youkai in Gensokyo and basically she's a fucking retard!
>>49280008Refresh my memory. What did that dork do, again?
>>49280008Reckless woman! No wonder Lord Susanoo left her.
>>49273490 (OP)Rainbow is nothing more than a fool's smile:
Liminal, transient, without aim or point,
Dying under sun's gaze after short while,
Or when heaven's tears rain without stopping.
Same is for markets, for all by men coined:
In the end it all returns to nothing.
>>49280008You don't quite understand. "Mu" which is translated to "nothing" here (admitedly there is no better translation) is more like this state of pure, undifferentiated potential which can become anything. Chimata-sama's aramitama (coarse, wrathful side) returned Gensokyo temporarily closer to a state of pure potential. This made way for a process of renewal, like a forest growing back after a forest fire.
>>49280008>Nearly killed every Youkai in GensokyoNooooo! not the previous Youkai! Who else will murder children without them?
>>49285380Do you advocate for death penalty as well, for some crimes at least? Because youkai can change for the better and with their longer lifespans on average they have more opportunities for such. If youkai don't deserve your mercy and compassion, I don't see how you can extend it to fellow men.
>>49285412That's the thing - they haven't changed.
>>49285542If you see a coin landing tail many times in the row, do you claim that there is no heads to it? After all I'm talking about possibility here. Do you think Eiki would lecture youkai at all, if there was no way for them to change?
Besides, there are examples of youkai changing their behavior in Touhou, so you are coming from some misinformed position.
>>49285412>Do you advocate for death penalty as well, for some crimes at least? I don't advocate for the death penalty because with very few expections it's very hard to 100% proof anything. However, in that regard I am also pragmatic. I do not condome somebody who kills a tiger that got too close to their home even if one cannot prove it was 100% going to attack.
>Because youkai can change for the better and with their longer lifespansOkay, anon, try telling a grieving mother who just lost her son to a youkai attack how they might change. As for change, fucking when? Not when the time of myth ended and Kanako unified Japan. Not when Minamoto slaughtered most Youkai big wigs. Not when the Meijin era nearly drove them extinct. Not in modern Gensokyo when villagers are livestock and outsiders are playthings to be hunted and tormented for kicks. How many more chances do youkai need, according to you? How many more do you think they deserve?
>>49285668>Do you think Eiki would lecture youkai at all, Eiki literally lectures Youkai for not murdering people. If a youkai renounced violence, she would lecture them for that.
>>49285775>I do not condome somebody who kills a tiger that got too close to their home even if one cannot prove it was 100% going to attack.Neither tiger has the mental capacity comparable to youkai nor the situation discussed was an act of self-defense. I'm far from saying that you cannot exterminate youkai under any circumstances. But the situation presented is not heat-of-moment, deed-based extermination, but indiscriminate wiping out of youkai. I don't see why you are even bringing this up, beside padding text.
>Okay, anon, try telling a grieving mother who just lost her son to a youkai attack how they might change.This is irrelevant, the justice is not dependent on grievances of injured party and even more not dependent on grievances of people related to it. I hope you understand that giving out harsher punishment just because victim cried more is nowhere close to what justice is.
>As for change, fucking when? Not when the time of myth ended and Kanako unified Japan. Not when Minamoto slaughtered most Youkai big wigs. Not when the Meijin era nearly drove them extinct. Not in modern Gensokyo when villagers are livestock and outsiders are playthings to be hunted and tormented for kicks.We have a very limited view into how exactly youkai within Touhou acted prior to separation via Hakurei Barrier, so I wouldn't be so confident with such accusations. And if you want to fall back onto folklore, than both treating youkai as dangerous murderers without merit and their lack of change over time is not not tenable proposition.
There is a more legitimate argument that those changes that I spoke of, that we see within Touhou, are mostly of little importance, but that is something far different and it's hard to predict from this if there is any limit to the severity of changes.
>How many more chances do youkai need, according to you? How many more do you think they deserve?Seventy-seven. And one more, just to be safe.
>>49285781Once again, I'm talking about possibility for change. What Eiki says is the proper conduct for youkai is a separate matter from the fact, that without possibility for change at all, the lecture would be pointless. Therefore, just like youkai can change according to Yama's advice, there is nothing stopping them from changing according to more conventionally humane ways.
>>49282366I didn't know that. So rather than reducing things to a null state she's refreshing the potential by breaking Gensokyo's stagnancy. Wouldn't that make her more ontologically opposed to the whole status quo thing?
Tenkyuu.
>>49273490 (OP)Chimata is my favorite god, if I were to go to bat for any local diety in gensokyo it'd be her. Its a respect thing ig, she's just cool af
>>49287610Chimata-sama would be very happy to hear that and then later try asking Mike what do words like "fr" and "ig" mean.
>>49287560Not really. A force opposed to status quo eventually becomes part of the new status quo, in one way or another.
>>49288653Mike would tell her what frigging is and Chima would turn redder than her dress!
>>49291104>friggingI thought "fr" stands for "for real". Huh.
It is not yet time to return to nothing.
>>49291099>A force opposed to status quo eventually becomes part of the new status quo, in one way or another.There is an exception...
>>49291133Not like anyone used it unironically anyways so don't sweat it
>>49295277Imagine being Chimata's husband and having to wash her silly dress properly.
>>49297297So true anon!!!
>>49298133Not really, she's part of Gensokyo now too, isn't she? Hasn't been seen for a good while either.
>>49298161I feel like imagining being her husband would be blasphemous since I am not a kami myself.
Chimata-sama... it's going down...
>>49301532I think the only thing going down is your standards of behaviour in the presence of a goddess.
Page 8...no love for Chimata-sama?
Chimata-sama...I'll buy up the Tengu sovereign bonds..! Everything will be fine!
>>49305289Such enchanting eyes!
It's not yet time to return to nothing.
>>49273490 (OP)Where do I buy Chimata coin ticker $CHIM?
I assure you, Chimata-sama had nothing to do with 4chan returning to nothing for a while.
Wait, we're back? We did it! We returned from nothing!
>>49280008Sheโs basically doing Reimuโs job
>>49328276The time of miracles is not over!
she's cute
you convinced me anon
>>49331210She's more than just cute though!
>>49273490 (OP)Imagine taking advantage of Chimata's depressive and clingy state during a market crash to coerce her into sex. Imagine Chinata clinging to you and crying about how she's scared you will leave her.
>>49333783Imagine Chimata-sama returning your manhood to nothing!
>>49342975That artist sure likes shipping those two.
>>49345777Very lucky number too, but that bunny thing is more a fertility goddess thing, isn't it?
Do a big stretch for her!

>>49291099That only suggests there's never a status quo in the first place.
>>49365381There is, but it' not unchanging. Nothing in life is.
Did everyone forget her because the demo for Touhou 20 got released?
>>49285412>Do you advocate for death penalty as wellYes. It's more humane than a life sentence.
I won't let Chimata-sama return to Nothing yet!
Page 10? Really now? No love for Chimata-sama?
It really is just me, isn't it, left here as her champion...
>>49386731Lurking in the shadows you'll find many Chima-tan fans.
But posting on the 4 doesn't appeal anymore after what was exposed
>>49387332But she needs us here...
Chimata-sama...even if it's just me left...I'll be coming to visit you soon, Chimata-sama..! Please wait for me warmly!!
Chimata-sama!! I will not give up!!!
Maybe this will bring the customers backโฆ
>>49396981Why does she like sticking her finger into the air?
>>49397066Her signature pose where she does that is invoking the dollar sign.
a pose that signifies Power.
>>49396981the shirt looks really good on Chimata
>>49397066As above, so below.
>>49400403Looks good on pretty much everyone.
>>49404019Shouldn't her shirt say something like Welcome Moriya?
>>49405294Probably. Or Welcome (frog face) frog.
>>49405406Why is Wriggle so upset with being given a shirt with the insect kanji on it? Isn't she a proud insect youkai?
>>49285412I have no idea why youโre defending murdering innocent people so avidly, nor do i want to enter into grimfaggotry discussion, but iโll humor you. Yes, i support death penalty, in fact, as soon as someone murders someone innocent, they should be killed. The only chance they get is before they get killed. If theyโre found out and still havenโt changed, they die. Seems pretty fair to me.
>>49405294It should say Miracle Fruits
I think she really might be Kamuo Ichihime!
The billion yen question is, which came first: ZUN's idea of Chimata Tenkyuu, or the cancelled first Shizuoka Reitaisai? I'm very much leaning towards the latter, as UM was released only in 2021... Well, they were about to hold a very special market right on Ichihime-sama's home turf...no wonder she wanted in.
We must imagine Chimata-sama happy.
>>49297297Winners stay behind
I want to see her Chimatas!
>>49446608We must imagine Chimata-sama happy!
>>49424534>second wife of Susanoo-no-MikotoSomeone willingly fucked Chimata?
>>49450156Why is that so surprising to you.
>>49273490 (OP)Im doing a drawing of you for june 4th, give me some time.
>>49461646Nothing good will come from disrespecting a market goddess.
>>49464207My thoughts are that someone really wants to experience the Sacred Energy eXchange with Chimata-sama.
>>49464207I think I'd laugh too much at the idea of Chimata being turned on being called mommy. And then she'd start pouting. I want to make her happy but she just doesn't have that mommy energy...
>>49466823I certainly would. Sheโs cute af.
How would Chimata confess her love to (you)?
>>49472541As a goddess, she expresses her love to her worshippers whenever they pray to her with a sincere heart. It just might not be the kind of love you'd expect though.
>>49474228Praying to Chimata! Include lots of compliments in her pray! Say she's very pretty! Say I love how cool she is! Overload the prayer with compliments and adoration! Chimata!
>>49475430Are you trying to lovebomb a goddess..?
>>49476667Considering how Chimata has been neglected for so long and the closest things in Gensokyo she has to "friends" are just charlatans wanting to use her in a get rich quick scheme, I think Chimata deserves to have a bunch of love. I know how that loneliness feels so she's a very relatable Touhou.
>>49476677That's very sweet of you and I hope you won't have to be lonely in the future.
Chimata deserves to be happy and loved

WAAH! I told myself to somehow translate the afterword page later but I forgot, until checking out this thread.
TL anon didn't translate this page and I didn't ask him to do so and I can't really blame him for not wanting to go along my personal autism. So since I am an EOP-hack I used gemini pro to translate the text, can someone check it for mistakes?
>>49280008Sauce?
>>49512354Very twisted form of worship and messy too.
Lesbian goddess even wears the pride flag openly! Gensokyo is so accepting!
>>49533730I think the verdict is actually "stay".
>>49538679My wife is so strong!
Chimata-sama...it was such a delight to visit your shrine in Shizuoka. It was beatiful and well-maintained. I was very anxious if I would be able to receive the Kamuo Ichihime ofuda, but I did without problems. I am thankful to you for inspiring me to exceed myself and to go to places I never even dreamt of going.
Chimata-sama...I won't let your thread return to nothing yet, not when there are people who are finally starting to find the faith in you!
Putting Chimata back where she belongs!!!
Chimata must adapt to modernity to survive!
>>49546618No! She belongs on the top of the catalog! I want her thread to bump NOW!!!
>>49546657But Chimata is already a modern and trendy Goddess!
>>49551802Hehโฆ trendy in more ways than one I see!
I still don't respect Chimata.
>>49551837I don't like tatoos.
>>49551837Keep your fetish on the /v/ thread, please.
>>49552818I hope that one day you will find the respect she deserves.
Fuck Chimata and her Chimacoin.
>>49579833that's a bit harsh
This thread is 2 months old.
>>49586046And? If threads giving faith to Tenkyuu-sama arenโt up, then the free market ceases to function. Simple as.
>>49586046Let's not discuss a sensitive topic such as age in front of the kami.
>>49595418Why it is sensitive topic? For kami, as spiritual beings, shouldn't one's spirit be more important than how many winters such kami has witnessed? And Chimata is mature, but not old in spirit!
Keeping the economy going can be very exhausting...
>>49595418Chimata is HOW old again? And she still acts like she does? Maybe she should be more like Keiki and act her age...
I'd say, next to Sakuya, Chimata is probably the most misinterpreted Touhou character in the entire series.
>>49586046Good things, like brewing sake, takes time.
>>49607505I'll have you know she is a young and eternally young kami, one of the last generations to appear in Kojiki before it just becomes about imperial ancestors.
>>49608752>one of the last generations to appear in Kojiki before it just becomes about imperial ancestors.Auntie Chimata, that's pretty old...
>>49609027My dear anonymous worshipper, capitalism has been around for a very long time, and bartering has been around for even longer than that. Trade needs me to exist, lest items never truly be given new ownership.
>>49608075Misinterpreted or misunderstood?
>>49609027That's very young for a kami like her!
>>49610070If you really think about it, all of existence is kind of a process of exchange.
>>49614743>That's very young for a kami like her!And the T-Rex is young for a dinosaur...
Bullying Chimata is so much fun.
>>49622532The messy hair just does it for me...
non-consensual sex with Chimata
>>49628850Non-consensual? But I would consent to sex with Chimata! I know she's bought me and probably wants to roleplay as some sinister powerful goddess like Okina... But I just love her too much!
Chimata I always imagined as skinnyfat.
One thing I have noticed in Japan is that there are all kinds of small businesses and markets everywhere. Especially these covered shopping arcades with small shops are extremely common. The idea of something so important to daily life in Japan disappearing because of net retail and COVID must have been distressing. Well, of course UM was about Reitaisai specificaly, but still...
