I can understand his hatred towards the Reimu, but I would have thought he would have treasured the ko as it is Marisa's last mark on the world instead of abusing it aswell although it really didn't have anything to do with the parent Marisa's death.
That is all coming from just Konakona's summary so I could be wrong.

I have similiar thoughts. I can understand anon's loathing for the Reimu, although I have to question anon's judgement(why is he letting his yukkuri bumble around the city without supervision? Did they sneak out or what?), but killing the child of his beloved pet seems ... unnecessary.
You 2 have to consider that maybe the komarisa IS annoying looking and bothersome, but the artist was too nice in his way to represent them, like that comic of kiriraita about the reimu in the puddle and the overdramatization of her parents acting like if it were a river or something. After all just because it's your beloved pet's Koyukkuri, that doesn't mean you may like it, if it's a shithead, a scum yukkuri or annoying you may pretty much don't care that it's your pet's kid.
And from what the story says, Marisa was the only reason he bear with them, maybe this whole deal was pretty much against his will and he bear with it just to please his pet, but now that the pet is gone, and the "2 uninvited guests" remain. . .
All this, beyond if the Reimu and Ko were good or not.
Anko0054 was inspired by this picture, not the other way around. There are some differences between the two, like in the picture, it says Marisa was run over by a car, while in the anko story, it says Marisa was run over by a bicycle. And the picture says Reimu will probably never be able to hop again, while the anko has Reimu chasing after the RC car, hopping faster than she ever has in her life, with no mention of her feet still being damaged.

...Hm, interesting--in the latter two, the text is taken verbatim from the anko (they even mention a bicycle, not a car killing Marisa). So I guess first m1 drew this, then Shokuhatsu-aki wrote the story, then m1 drew more illustrations for Shokuhatsu-aki's story.
Her mamumamu was destroyed.
With a box cutter, it was thoroughly sliced up until it was beyond recovery.
"It's your fault for seducing my Marisa with that ugly mamumamu."
Reimu's chopped-up mamumamu was a mix of skin and bean paste. She would never be able to make babies again.Her throat was destroyed.
Chili peppers were mixed into the food she munch-muched. She desperately tried to throw it up, but the spicy compounds she had swallowed burned out her throat.
"It was that grating voice that caused Marisa to be hit by a car, wasn't it."
Reimu was now unable to speak or sing to her child.And it fell onto Reimu."If it weren't for you...!" Mister said to Reimu and the little yukkuri.
Mister had loved Marisa--so much so that you could say he doted on her. That's why he took in the stray Reimu that Marisa liked, and when their child was born, no matter how much food costs increased, he didn't ever frown.
"Only Marisa ended up dying"--that's what he couldn't accept. From the bottom of his heart, the question was repeated over and over--"Why? Why Marisa?" The sadness and doubt at this outrageous misfortune that welled up inside him--it all turned to hate.And then
Marisa-------was squashed by a car.Her feet were destroyed.
The hot water from the knocked-over kettle spread across the floor. In protecting her child, Reimu's feet ended up being turned into a crumbling mess.
"Marisa will never hop again, so why should you be able to hop around?"
Hopping had been her only remaining way of amusing her child, but with her ruined bottom, no doubt she would never hop freely again.Three yukkuris had gone out for a walk, but only two yukkuris and a child's cries returned home.No one had done anything wrong--it was an unhappy accident. Both Marisa and Reimu accepted that. They didn't resent anyone. In a tearful but strong voice, Reimu said, "Reimu and little one will always take it easy together for Marisa...!" Half her body painfully gone, beloved Marisa gently smiled at Reimu and passed away.Reimu found a cute dandelion blooming in the town. Dandelions were very easy, beautiful flowers that she used to love when she was a stray. She told her beloved Marisa and her precious child Marisa of those memories, and together, the happy family admired the little flower blooming across the street. The three enjoyed the smell of the sunshine. When they had finally awakened from their nap and were about to go home, Reimu's mate Marisa smiled and promised to go get her that dandelion.
