ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY FREE

This should be impossible for an immortal who has taken the Elixir. ■Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth contains a contradiction when Eirin becomes sick.

■Eirin is one of the few characters that revive (along with Yuyuko, Kaguya, Tenshi and Suwako) after being defeated the first time.

Yuyuko is taken back, claiming it makes Eirin a 'natural enemy.' Along with Kaguya and Fujiwara no Mokou, she is among the few immune to Yuyuko's power of death. The gist of the conversation is that she has taken medicine prepared through Kaguya's power and therefore can never become a resident of the Netherworld. ■The Ghost Team's ending in Imperishable Night reveals that Eirin herself has consumed the Hourai Elixir (lost in translation, especially due to not being stated directly). Choosing to follow her princess in eternal exile, she would have had to take the Hourai Elixir. Eirin would not have the benefit of her Lunarian lifespan on Earth. Just as Reimu can negate it by introducing the tainted life of her home planet, the benefits are only in effect so long as the inhabitants stay in the lunar capital. Escaping such impurities is why the the capital on the moon was created in the first place.

ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY FREE

■Lunarians have very long lifespans, but only by remaining free of impurity such as life on Earth. Only four people are confirmed to have ever drunk it: Chang'e, Kaguya, Fujiwara no Mokou and Eirin herself. Since this elixir is forbidden, and only Eirin is known to be capable of manufacturing it-and even then only with the help of Kaguya-it is understandably rare. It's no wonder why this medicine is forbidden even to the mysterious lunarians. This medicine indeed makes one truly invincible, and forced to live out their existence forever. This, along with Yuyuko's and Yukari's scenario in Imperishable Night, makes it seem that the Hourai Elixir itself isn't a power that keeps one immortal, but makes one an existence completely independent of even the concept of reality, thus making one not subject to the bounds of life, death, or even manipulation, although the pain of injuries can still be felt. In her confrontation with Mokou, Alice points out that the soul is made invincible. Because she made the Hourai Elixir the true elixir of immortality, she probably also made it irreversible, making its effects perfectly permanent. The ingredients of the Hourai Elixir are known only by Eirin Yagokoro, whose name points her out to be the 'Mind of God', an omniscient being. (nourishment such as food, water, or sleep does not impact their bodies at all), This makes them completely indestructible, and it extends to their mental and spiritual states just as much as their physical state, as shown with Mokou, Kaguya, and Eirin who are all shown living a carefree life free of mental exhaustion even after 1300 years. Drinkers become an existence completely independent of even the concept of reality, thus making one not subject to the bounds of life, death, or even manipulation. The third taste makes one completely immortal to the truest sense. The second taste cures all imperfections, granting perfect physiology and makes them incapable of becoming ill. According to Fujiwara no Mokou, the first taste of the medicine makes the drinker incapable of growing up or aging. The Hourai Elixir is permanent, their immortality is irreversible and cannot be copied or interfered with, they will always be restored to pinnacle condition. Complete destruction results in immediate and complete restoration. Every injury shall cease critical injuries will be healed in a matter of days. This includes the natural process of aging, they need no sustenance such as food, water, air, warmth or sleep to stay alive. Due to the nature of the Hourai Elixir drinkers are also incapable of contracting any form of disease or illness. They will recover within a few hours if they take a non-fatal blow. No matter whether they are beheaded, incinerated or has taken any other form of damage, they will always revive without exception. The Hourai Elixir is a forbidden elixir that was created by Eirin Yagokoro using Kaguya Houraisan's power over eternity.ĭrinkers gain the inability to die, allowing their bodies to receive an indefinite amount of punishment.
