She spins a fraggin galaxy with a wind tech of hers. 😐

EDIT: Wait, if you're just talking about durability...she can just use a Vengeance Slip to deflect any of his attacks.

Does she really spin a galaxy, or does she spin a galaxy in the same way Sephiroth destroys a solar system?

As for the three times thing, speed feats of her?

Galaxy Spinning: (beginning of the vid)
YouTube videoI still laugh whenever I see that galaxy spinning. haermm

Can't recall any proper speed feats, but she has good reaction and movement feats.

2:15 onwards. Continue watching till 4:00 to see her lightning brush technique in action. She later gains the ability to create and call down actual lightning bolts.

O_o;'

Do I have to highlight everything wrong with using wind to spin a galaxy?

Why is the galaxy so close? 😐

Spinning an actual galaxy like that would cause some big time celestial destruction.

Like I said, her brush makes her a reality warper. She can create plants/trees/flowers/bridges/wood/thunderbolts/stars/etc. or move lightning/drain large pools of water/slow down time with just a stroke of her Celestial Brush. This is all done when she isn't even at full strength.

She's vastly underused on KMC, and likely vastly under-rated as well.

PS: Your line of thinking is why I laugh every time I see the galaxy spinning due to her Wind technique. haermm

It's composed of stars, so the galaxy is light-years away.

It spinning the moment Amaterasu uses Galestorm is likely a side-effect of Amaterasu's reality warping? 313

Then... Why not just affect the water directly? >_> Why is spinning stars easier? @_@

What mythology is she from again?

Gonna do some research later. 😐

Japanese, I believe.

/Captain obvious

Was looking moar for actual stories, but can work with that.

In fact I believe I own a book on Japanese myth.

srug

I think the entrance to that particular place can only be located by spinning that galaxy.

EDIT: Scream, I recommend this game for you. You like OoT, and this one sort of follows the same vein I think. At the very least, it was influenced by LoZ.
Not to mention, the game looks absolutely gorgeous.

The actual Amaterasu is from Shinto Mythology, but this Amaterasu is vastly different from Shinto Amaterasu. (Tsukuyomi, Susano'o & Amaterasu are three sibling gods in Shinto Mythology...names sound familiar?)

Spinning that galaxy is very imprecise. I don't see her able to use that efficiently in combat.

I'm going to read a book I own on Japanese mythology for some elaborations of the workings of the cosmos for research on this thread.

Because I apparently have nothing better to do. 😐

You will find nothing that help you understand the process in that video. This Amaterasu is such a huge deviation from its original that only the fact that she is a female God of the same origin is their similarity.

There has been no display of such power in the mythology.

She could just BFR her opponent with it?

She still has a myriad of other tools to use in combat.

I think the creators of this game have stated that Amaterasu is genderless. Not entirely sure though.

Though yes, the entire game contains references to Shinto Mythology, but it is still vasty different from Shinto Mythology. Tsukiyomi and Susano'o are Amaterasu's siblings in Shinto mythos, yet in Okami, the former is a sword powered by the moon, while the latter is a human, albeit a powerful one.
