There was no point. Pure human cruelty. Feeding garbage, alcohol, injuries by fire, accessory abuse. Pretty much every single effective way to torture a yukkuri was used here.
It's one of the earliest ones, kinda help set the standards of alot of the things we take as fact for yukkuri now. Doesn't seem creative, but things like burning the feet, or their accessory, or just seeming food and assuming it's theirs, were kinda new at the time.
this ones has been caugth while it family stealing a vegetable in the fram. so , the farmer , I gueass , he kill it mother and capture this koyukkuri and it sister. then , he send them to this suffering fate here.
you must find a untranslated comic here to read the rest of them.
I just keep visiting here because 1- I love yukkuris, they can be little bastards most of time but still cute 2- I can stand seeing punishment in the right time or stuff for laughs, just those ones with a good yukkuri suffering feels like a stab inside 3- Seeing more than 200 pages here I could see lot's of heart warming images lost in the middle... I still have some hope!
Even if I'm not a fan of abuse (there are exceptions) usually I like endings. The yukkuri dies from torture but I take comfort in the fact that it can't be abused anymore. It can only take it easy forever.
