It's 9/9/09 today, and that means it's Yuyuko Saigyouji day!

I know most people are gonna be like "The hell are you talking about?", but just stay with me on this one. The Sega Dreamcast was released on 9/9/99, and today is 9/9/09. Also, the symbol on Yuyuko's hat looks like the Sega Dreamcast symbol, so since it's 9/9/9 again, it's Yuyuko day! lol. I know it's a stretch, but just go with it.

This is a day to praise Yuyuko Saigyouji, and celebrate her miracles... oh wait, wrong character (I know no one is gonna get that joke). Anyway, Yuyuko is very unique compared to most characters. She has unique abilities, and a sad story about how her life ended. Yuyuko has the unique ability to cause death in living people, and can use the power on anyone of her choosing. Her power is ironically what drove her to suicide.

The souls she invites to death are taken to Hakugyokurou, a netherworld for the "formerly living" instead of being taken to Heaven or Hell. When she died, her body was used to seal the tree, Saigyaou Ayakashi, to stop it from killing innocent humans. Humans also fear Yuyuko for her power, and general fear of the supernatural. Yuyuko is also known for her incredible appetite and seems to have a food-related metaphor for any situation.

So yeah, I was just bored and thought I should spread awareness of this literally once in a lifetime holiday. lol. Yuyuko is a really interesting chracter when you look into some of the more detailed info about her, and the pre-death stuff about her. Also, this is my favorite picture of her.

Anyway, enjoy the holiday everyone, becuase this is the only time any of us will get to see it.
