Are final bosses
No spoilers please (spoils in january 8th)
Ok after a bit of investigating on dream type urban legends / folk lore, Doremy's Last Word seems to be Kanashibari; an old urban legend used to expain sleep paralysis as the work of a ghost or yokai. Kanashibari literaly translates to bound in metal thus why she wraps you in chains.
Usually associated with stories of the night hag or other strange creatures since hallucination during sleep paralysis is common.
High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. It's an actual thing.

The urban legend part is that conspiracy theorists believe that it's real purpose is for the US government to find a way to weaponize weather. Basically creating typhoons, tornados, blizzards, global warming, etc as well as having the ability to trigger floods and earthquakes.
The crosses in the background when Tenshi activates the ability is supposed to be the HAARP antenna array.
You are only half right. Jo'on is a pestience god not a riches god. Though pestilence in this case being that of financial assets instead of disease. Basically a god of spending money on crap till you're broke which is why her appearance is gaudy.
Jo'on leads you to financial ruin and Shion makes sure you can't get out of it via misfortune.
Ha! Reimu should be immune to their tricks!
Well, in the way a burn victim is immune to fire, at least.
Honestly it was a toss up between Teke Teke or Kashima Reiko but either way Yukari is more fitting since both urban legends are about a woman getting split in half from a train. Yukari is the only one that can make it appear that the lower half of her body is missing, split people, and throw trains at them.
Girl in the gap would have been the most fitting but Reimu already took that one so this is the next best thing.
Anyway, The only one using another Urban legend is Tenshi, Doremy and Yukari use their own powers, while Jo'on pretty much parodies jotaro punching the hell out of steely dan (Or at least, that's what i think it is)
I'm thinking Jo'on's urban legend is perfect possession, it's just that her last word doesn't really convey it; unless her "possessing" your "possessions" is supposed to be some sort of pun. Similar to how Sumireko's urban legend is doppelgänger but her last word doesn't really convey it.
Actually I'm almost positive it is considering she has the power to switch slave characters with the player in story mode which is not her normal power. Plus the description of the game does say that the incident is from a new urban legend called perfect possetion. The only issue I have is that I can't confirm it with her last word.
Perfect possession btw is a term used for a more advanced stage of being possessed in which a individual willingly allows a spirit or entity to co-inhabit their body permanently and both of them merge to the point where it's indistigusihable to tell either one of them apart. However, I've never heard of anyone referring to it as an urban legend before outside of this game.
Edit: You can't just go by the last word, you also have to go by the occult attack as well. Besides, the synopsis for the game does clearly state that that is what she is using multiple times.
No, it's doppelgänger. It's prettty much confirmed at the end of ULiL and in this game. She just liked to call it seven wonders of the world for some reason before it was revealed; I'm thinking they are doing something similar with Jo'on.
When you use her urban legend in this game she makes a clone of herself that attacks the opponent. In the last game her last word was vague to hide that it was doppelgänger, but now that the secret is out they didn't seem to update her last word animation in this game to reflect it.
Even still 14.5 didnt really show that Sumeriko had the doppelgänger urban legend which made things really confusing.
So the remaing question is, do Jo'on and Shion actually have urban legends or is just perfect possesion.
