Not much to translate, but it's glorious. I always get the chills whenever I see her utter this phrase.
Also, I wish she has something like this in HM. I love it when artists make the scroll wrap/float around her when she enters super mode. "BYAKUREN INSTAAALL!" <-GG fan Besides, if waving the scroll is enough for instant chanting, wouldn't it be more efficient to just have it wrapped around her arms and legs so she can chant while punching and kicking?

It's like Marisa's broomstick... Should be all for the looks!

actually her scroll is a semi-intellegent magical item she crafted in Maki, it can cast the spells she's written on it by itself, so she's literally a muscle wizard.

Unlimited skill use + no declaration for Namu-install would've been an awesome spellcard.

I know. My point is that it would take less effort to cast it. Though to be fair, she's not supposed to have it yet since this is before she went to Makai. Unless we think that she already has it and only upgraded it with materials from Makai to make it sentient. That makes more sense since it means she cast the spell manually here. It also means that she started recording the spells in it from before she was sealed, lest that means she did it while being sealed, which is awesome too.
Anyway, with or without the scroll or the superhuman spell, I find it hard to believe that these people managed to seal Byakuren. Sure, she won't kill, so she must've just incapacitated them one by one. That probably hindered her, which may have been the reason, but I still doubt it. I have some theory, but it's probably quite silly. I think the one that had a hand in Byakuren's sealing is none other than
Yukari.
Now, now, I know it's ridiculous but hear me out for a while. It came to my mind after reading a certain doujin, which made me ponder about the possibility of
Yukari and Byakuren being friends/acquaintances.
Here's how I think it goes: After the death of Yuyuko, Yukari started to think more of the humans and then she heard the rumors about Byakuren and she watched over her ever since. Interested in her, a human, ideals of coexistence between Youkai and Humans. However, since Yukari thought it was impossible for Byakuren to achieve that at the time and knew that the humans were coming for her, she decided to confront her and warned her about it. However, even though Yukari tried to convince Byakuren that she'll just end up hurting herself and both the humans and youkai, she kept strong to her ideals and truly believes that one day, it'll come true no matter how long it takes. Yukari was moved by her words and emotions and thought to herself that with her power, it might actually be possible. But since it'll take some more time, Yukari then proceeded to attack her so she could be sealed, to spare her from suffering even more. She then left Byakuren and the other crews immobilized to be sealed by the humans.
Since then, Yukari started working on the preparation to make Gensokyo become as it is now. From starting the first Genso-Lunar War to keep the youkai from expanding their territory and made them stay in Gensokyo, enacting the Youkai Expansion Project and created the border between illusion and reality around it, proposed the creation of the Great Barrier, and finally the Spellcard rules. And she did it, in some way.
I just thought that all of those happened in a suspiciously close timeline, and I felt like adding a reason for Yukari to make Gensokyo, along with the fact that Gensokyo conveniently fits with Byakuren's ideals. They're never shown interacting yet in the games, so who knows what kind of relationship they have.
Also, it seems that there's more to the name "Gensoukyou" other than "fantasy", if you take into account TH4, "Touhou Gensoukyou ~ Lotus Land Story". Maybe a foreshadowing from ZUN?
But yeah, they are my top 2 favorites, so I'm probably just making things up. Don't mind me then. You thought I love HijiMiko? No, no, no

I doubt Yukari would be genuinely kind with anyone except Yuyuko. She maybe kind with Reimu, but mostly pity because cannon, Reimu very rarely got donation despite having beat up youkais, solving accidents and protect humans. She maybe kind with Ran because she is a competent and diligent servant, chen because she is Ran's shikigami and is a kid.I don't think she is genuinely care about anyone's sake except Yuyuko's. Now I'm tempted to ship YukaByaku, despite Byakuren being a Buddhist nun. I know that Japan allows Buddhist priests to get marry but since I was raised in Vietnam, which not allow that and many even see it as a sin, I am seriously conflicted
