That hasn't stopped the many stories of yukkuri dying from powerful odors, drowning, suffocation, and any other lung required deaths.

And the story continued and ended without them so yes they're dead.

"powerful odors" could just be the negative smell. The sour/ripe smell, the same strange stench that comes from their poo-poo and pee-pee. It's possible it's a bacterial thing.

Drowning? They dissolve.

Suffocation? Still don't understand that one, but usually if they suffocate, they die from something else.

I haven't hovered around the forums very much.

Glucose can drastically variate from brittle to rock-like. Friend of mine is a baker. He told me this stuff.

And no, Baron's been MIA.

Are we certain that they're dead?

Dissolving aside, yukkuri can't technically drown. They don't breathe. Seems like a quick method to get rid of them.

Still, it's a shame if they are, and both Reimus are disappointed in themselves (or at least the one).

I didn't realize how nice it can be to have niceheads get a good ending once in a while.

That's because in the vast majority of stories, the niceheads die when the story ends.

I'm pretty sure if the Marisa survived, it'd figure out how to move. Remember, technically their entire epidermis has the capacity to be manipulated on a base level. Bodied yukkuri have no bones (which makes it odd that they can STAND UP-RIGHT). All the Marisa has to do is learn how to use it's former neck area to slide along the ground.

You know my story by now. I was eventually going to get into how yukkuri could stand up-right with a skeleton structure. Their skeletal structure was gonna be, basically, glucose. Hardened glucose.

Consider the fact that hardened glucose can be about as hard as cement.

I think the interesting thing is how uninterested the two Reimus appear to be about the two mini-bodied yukkuri babies. Possibly because of how horrible their parents were to them.

Then that motherly instinct kicks in.

So it was really one giant story?

I'm curious to see what was going on. Seems like this takes place over multiple generations in a single house.

Srsly, we get it. Abyuse. xD I'm enjoying the foreground. The two surviving Reimus become surrogate mothers to the two bodied yus.

Oh, don't act like this surprises you. If it wasn't the seagull that stole the hat, I'm sure there'd be some other reason Marisa would still be in the water. Probably wouldn't have been able to climb in, or if she actually got in, the seagulls would have just pecked her to death.

You lost me, here.

"Don't go into the mister sea, it's poisonous!"

"You killed my little one! I'm gonna smash you good!" and probably land in the water instead, or knock the otter underwater and die anyway.

Seriously, how can you have something seem smart at first, then -really stupid- two pages later?

Probably thinks she's an egg.

I'd have to say, this is easily one of the cutest pics I've seen posted here in a while.

No, this is a Zelda reference. ;P

I would think the helium would have seeped out before then and the ko would have slowly lowered back to Earth. :3

M1 isn't exactly known for good ends, unless this is just a one-shot deal.

Time will tell.

They're likely going to eat it later.

It always amazes me to see yukkuri as being so helpless. Other creatures would have found a way down within the first 10 minutes of being put up there.

They'd smash upon impact with the concrete.

Ha ha ha ha die serve you right. Ha ha ha

Because they were hiding in the shade on a really hot day and Mr. Mohawk was sweating?

I love this. There just seem to be people going around with mohawks (often in full biker gear, too) brutalizing any yukkuri they come across and this is considered completely normal by everyone.

Makes me scratch my head. Always the dude with the mohawk. Soon as you see him, you know some yukkuri about to be abyused.

I find it strange they'd keep the bodied yukkuri in cages. I'd probably have them working around the shop, getting them used to household life. A person isn't gonna buy a bodied yukkuri to keep as a pet.

Zombie yus are an interesting idea, but what stops them from overwhelming the normal population?

That's been the mystery of all this, to me at least. What happens if one bites a human? Do they get the Seiga curse too?
