MF-B: Erm... yukkuri are living creatures as well, so MF-B: killing them is not good...
sfx: random laughter
Boy A: Crushing yukkuri is OK, you know. Girl A: There puffed up faces are ugly, they're dirty, they stink. Boy B: There way of chatter is really annoying. Especially the baby and kyoukkuri. [lit. akayu and koyu]
YS: Everybody calm down! This was a good question now! YS: As you can see yukkuri are manjuu. YS: Since they're not living creatures, nothing crosses against bullying or killing them. sfx: Bodo bodo sfx: Ki-n ko-n
Well, plants are living beings as well (a lot of vegans seem to forget this sometimes. Plants have feelings too, you bloody murderers.)
Maybe muramuraaki meant with living creatures something more along the line of animals.
On the other hand, yukkuri clearly seam to lack DNA and the possibility of evolution. So they don't fit all points defining organisms. (like fire)
- All Reimu/Marisa/Alice/etc. types are identical to each other.(Shell-Marisas might be the result of some marine parasite infestation)
- there is no downside in incestuous procreation
- cross-breeding doesn't result in hybrids or new mixed types. The few hybrid-types are a result of surgery. Yuudoro's Patchy-Reimu hybrid as example, Yuka-Chen unclear.
Also, they don't lack the ability to evolve; it's just that their evolutionary processes are different and unknown (and generally require the presence of narrativium).
Ding-Dong
Since they're not living creatures, it doesn't matter if you bully or kill them.As you can see, Yukkuri are manjuu.Everyone settle down!
This was a good question just now!The way they talk is annoying. Especially the babies and Koyukkuri.Their puffed-up faces are ugly, they're dirty, they stink.It's OK to crush Yukkuri, you know.
