It might be related to anko847. The gesu youmu in both stories could be the very same yukkuri.

3906 is interesting.
It's the genre that challenged yukkuri logic and the human doesn't need to lay a finger at all.

The yukkuri saw with their own eyes that human make vegetables grow from barren land through hard work everyday. When they saw the vegetables, they want it but dare not to lay a finger.
Yukkuri always think vegetables grow on their own, so it's everybody's. But the vegetables grown by human (not by itself) is that human's property. Even scums can't justify what they want to do.

Yukkuri feel easy thinking that they're on the side of justice, or as the victim (that's familiar. I think I saw that often in news and gossip shows). If they take the vegetables grown by human through hard work, they'll be uneasy bad guys.

Looking for someone else to blame, civil war breaks between generations. Their Dosu snaps off seeing the massacre and decided to kill them all.

Thanks for that recommendation, Salem.

There were two that made use of Naruto's Edo Tensei, used by an Orin and her Anon owner.

1st one had her revive a few strays. Like a Chen who loved a Patchouli. Later they revived a clan leader, who saw the potential, and halved the clan so that the rest could be undying. Then they tried to abuse that, only to discover that Orin is able to control them totally, and were doomed to perpetual destruction in a river.

2nd one had the pair revive a Dosu and a few other yukkuris, and the revivees were made to betray their clan and destroy it, for the usual yukkuri actions.

I just read the summary in the wiki, thanks for your hard work Salem, the story was interesting and satisfactory.

Probably the best aspect is that it's raw Karma kicking in, as you said, the human didn't lay a finger on them at all, their own destruction up to the Dosu's demise is product of their attitude, delusion, denial and their ow nactions.

3958 is also... well, unique in format.
31 short stories packed into one. Of course all is really short, but it reminds me of old horror mistery TV show containing several short stories into one.
I've just reached story 10, but some might pass as Twilight Zone story for yukkuri audience. 10th sounds like boring TV debate though.

One of the story had yukkuri Yoshika (only say "do~n't co~me clo~se~r") and yukkuri Seiga.

Unlike the hermit Seiga, yukkuri Seiga don't make zombies. They seems to enjoy death smell from yukkuri corpse and specialized in corpse restoration; something like the specialists who do cosmetic clean up to human corpse before the requiem ceremony so they don't look dead like a Frankenstein monster (especially victim of accident or mark from surgery and autopsy).
Seiga pick up corpse of dead yukkuri. For example, the skin of yukkuri sucked dry by Remirya will be filled with soil and lined up in her nest. All of them looks like new, but is dead.
But Seiga don't kill yukkuri, they're only scavengers for more corpse to add to their collection.

Not much different from the Touhou version :D

Finished reading another one.

3811, about an isolated yukkuri clan who came in contact with two human from the city who came for camping.
Only one yukkuri dies challenging human, and it's purely accident. But it does give a lesson about why not to bring modern civilization into contact with isolated tribes.
The humans only stayed for one day (and returned the next morning) but in one week, the whole clan has completely self-destructed.

BTW, there's one with interesting title. Armoured Udonge 2.
Size is 41kb, TLDR for me ^^;

Yukkuri taxidermist! Do the new yukkuris based on touhou have any special characteristics on these ankos?

By read you mean the summaries? the translations? or the original japanese ones?

Salem

Anyone else in this site read the anko stories from the Japanese site regularly ?
