Well, the second panel mentions "Yukkuri Capsaicin" so it looks like some sort of capsaicin-based soil additive, which causes the plants to take up the capsaicin, which it's been established causes a very severe reaction in yukkuri. Of course, this picture brings up a few thoughts on my part:
1. I don't think capsaicin can be incorporated like that.
2. I have no idea why it would cause the komarisa's priapism.
3. Those plants look a bit like tomatoes, which brings up the question of whether yukkuri are vulnerable to the toxins present in tomato greens (which are quite toxic).
You're probably right about the fact that capsaicin can't be used like that- maybe it's actually some sort of sprinker that sprays it over the crops, that's washed off when the farmer harvests them? Or maybe it's some sort of fictional derivative, created by the author for the purpose of this strip. I guess we really need a full translation.
Logically, seeing as things such as spicy foods create extreme reactions in yukkuri, they'd probably be very, very vulnerable to toxins in tomato plants. With people, eating a very spicy food is gonna make your eyes water and it'll be pretty uncomfortable- but you won't be throwing up your guts and having a spasm unless you're allergic. Tomato plants, however, have much more dramatic effects such as "serious gastrointestinal distress"... which is far worse.
Except that's treating yukkuri like any other animal; how many other animals can eat garbage and turn it into bean paste? When I think about it, I think they might not be vulnerable to it; the reactions they have to food seem to be more taste-based than anything. If it tastes bad enough, the yukkuri vomits, and vomiting is potentially life threatening to any yukkuri, especially ko's; however if the yukkuri is used to it, the shock is not there and they don't vomit.
Going via the taste based route as well, they'd probably treat tomato plants similar to grass or weeds; something that's not tasty and a very resort, like in post #6 Actually, the toxins would probably make the plant more bitter than grass, having an effect on the taste even if the actual poison itself doesn't harm them. It probably wouldn't have the dramatic effects of chilli, but would still be a food to be avoided except when there's no alternative.
Trying to look at yukkuris seriously and (kind of) scientifically itself is a pretty lol-worthy pursuit as how many other animals are sentient buns with processed fillings? There's also the fact that it's completely up to the people who create the material as to where it all goes, and a lot of time the stuff they do is illogical and goes against stuff that's been discussed. But it's damn good fun.
Woah this is like the Spicy Cousin of that "So Sweet it Ruins Yu's buds forever" Formula of my story "The Sweet Taste of Punishment", but, while the sweet formula is used indirectly through the munch ball, this spicy one is applied directly to what you expect the yu's to eat. I think it would work better in a similar fashion than the Munch Ball, but you may need to hide the spicyness.
YUPIIII! [Reimu's] mamumamu hurrrrdz!EEeeEe! [Marisa's] penipeni feels like it's tearing apart, zeee!pblrtpblrtAaAH!AaAAaaAABesides that, if they get pregnant, since they are unable to make proper bean paste,
malformed [babies] are born.
Even if they're normal, they die in infancy from throwing up bean paste and the like.
With this, the next generation cannot be born!The first stage is "perceiving all foods as tasting spicy"!
Even sweet-sweets seem spicy! (The reason is that inside their bodies, the food turns into something like chili miso instead of bean paste.)
Due to this, juvenile through adult yukkuris are unable to consume adequate food and starve to death...
Even if they force themselves to eat, they will be looked upon unfavorably and be called uneasy by the other yukkuris. In the end, unable to take it easy, they will dry up, crumble to pieces, and die. (The vital functions of yukkuris who are unable to take it easy shut down.)And finally, yukkuris unable to abstain from mating will refresh!
Now the genitals that have been in contact with the altered paste have stopped functioning! In other words--
It makes them unable to refresh.
However, the only the penipeni is still able to eject paste, and with this, the damage spreads even wider!
How about it? Interested parties, please [try it]!Ee! Ee! Ee!ere ereBuhi--Wrrryyy ij bishder gake jo hwoootch!?Wanched... eadjy... mo...Yu... yu...If you have a vegetable patch, surely you've suffered this at least once!
--VEGETABLE THEFT BY STRAY YUKKURIS--
It wouldn't be too bad if it were only theft, but sometimes they pull plants out by the roots, leaving you unable to grow any more from them.
Apparently they think, "Mister vegetables grow by themselves!", so unless you completely eradicate the clan, no matter how much you exterminate them, your losses won't decrease!
It seems there are even circumstances in which they cause children to get hurt!crackcrackleWanted to... take it... easy... more...Gehhhh!pblrt
pblrtblorghYUUUU!! BABYYYYY!Can you tell!? The extreme spiciness is making the family throw up bean paste! Was it too much for the premature baby? She's turning blue and a large quantity of bean paste is gushing from her anyaru!
What's that? "It only kills premature babies... This can't completely eradicate a clan," you say?
No worries! This compound has a profound effect on yukkuris' paste-organs! With that, it's possible to make the clan crumble and fall!That's why we've developed--!
--"Yukkuri Capsaicin"!
It doesn't actually contain capsaicin, it's a product that contains a spicy compound just for yukkuris!
Scatter it and let your plants suck it up! (On rainy days, stick it in the ground as shown at left!)
When yukkuris eat the vegetables that grow afterwards...MUNCH-MUNCHA NEW PRODUCT TO DETER STRAY YUKKURIS!
