Character

YuugenMagan

YuugenMagan is the first being that Reimu Hakurei encounters in Makai during Highly Responsive to Prayers after passing through the gate to Makai. Like other bosses in the game, there is little to no information regarding this enemy. YuuganMagan is a hovering set of five independently-moving eyes, connected by an electric-like force and surrounded by strange markings. At the center lies what appears to be an outline or projection of a character in a kimono. This being seems to be the source or controller of the eyes. The evil eye is a widespread concept among many cultures with the common focal point being that a malevolent stare or look can act as a curse. In Japanese, the most common term for evil eye is 邪視 (jashi). The Judaic angel of death, Sariel, is associated with evil eyes and is said to be able to ward them off. Due to the appearance of Sariel in the game and Makai itself containing numerous references to Abrahamic imagery, YuugenMagan is most likely based off of the Jewish concept of evil eyes.
