They took a yukkuri who, even though pretty stupid, wanted to let others take it easy, and turned her into a vicious yukkuri with a superiority complex who delights in killing those less fortunate than her! :O
Then mister Human tortures the Yukkuris with a soopah torture machine device that prevents death or numbness. Then Mister says that its to make them the GOD OF YUKKURIS
Ihateyukkuris said: Cause you know Yukkuris are stupid and ignorant. So yeah who is with me?
But he doesn't. We know from the last few pages that Little Marisa goes on to be sold to a kind Miss who lets her sleep in a warm bed and hugs her when she cries.

AND THEN MISS TURNS SO UNEAJY THAT SHE TORTURES THE GOLD BADGEDN YUKKURI AND THEN ENJOY THERE CRYS OF AGONY
and then after that miss goes like "fuck this this is getting boring" and then send em to a dark cave with there eyes ripped out. and they were given a huge dose of hourai elixer and they live forever blind.
There's no justice here, seems to be what people are saying. A little yukkuri with a miserable life that wanted to make everyone happy was taken in, made into a merciless tool that would destroy anything and everything in her position that she struggled through, to become the plaything of a human that might not even keep her. Hell, she could end up back at square one in an instant.
This isn't efficient yukkuri training. I can see what the people are doing here but it's harsh, uncaring, and defeats the purpose. They aren't making good yukkuri pets, they're making toys out of creatures with free wills. Toys that regularly get thrown out, abused, and will live in terror that if they go against their training, more hurt-hurt will come around or their wonderful miss or mister won't love them anymore.
If you're open-minded enough - or care about yukkuri in general enough - to look at it from their standpoint, none of this seems right at all.

Not a lot of that to be had here. It's just depressing to read these stories where creatures that want to live and be happy are destroyed because they were born a certain way, or because they happened to exist in front of the wrong person at the wrong time. Some of them are scum and deserve punishment, absolutely, and no, they aren't real nor are they living creatures, just animated food items. But they are sentient enough to have dreams, love, and suffer, and that's all they seem to do. Some of them suffer the wrath of the darkest and most inhumane of humans and yukkuri, and all they've ever done is just be born.
If it was with people instead of yukkuri, I think there would be a lot more discussions about the morality of yukkuri abuse and what kind of society the commonly depicted yukkuri-ridden world became.
Whether it's niceheads being beaten for nothing or shitheads getting their just desserts, all the stories are cold, cruel, and promote the suffering of other living creatures for things they can't always help. And it's depressing.

Except marisa wasn't. The "Kind Miss" was one of the shelter workers. She didn't (couldn't?) keep the koyukkuri in the end.
A yukkuri that actually displays altruistic behavior is deemed a candidate for badged pet training, yet the training to become a badged pet includes what seems like a reinforcing of the worst aspects of the yukkuri ego.
It seems like the only reason they'd look for qualities of 'goodness' in a candidate is that it simply means they can warp it to suit their own ends.
Makes me feel vindicated because it proved my displeasure with Komarisa to be right, Marisa's blind and idiotic "well meaningness" didn't lead to any good, so her changing to scum is as much as saying "the stupid idiot that got someone killed/body broken by accident now became a hitman".

I had this big ass essay about Yukkuris being an imbalanced and badly done magical construct probably being a reason for people in the yukkuri world to be like that (as in, they really don't know what to do with them, so some ignore them, some abyuse them, some love them, but in the bigger scheme humanity doesn't have a solid stance on them so "anything is valid" legal and social wise.) and since, outside of secret havens that don't give a fuck about muggles, there is no magic user that could fix them properly.
But I decided to can it and instead use a explanation that makes more sense.
Zelretch did it...He either created yukkuris or modified them...that prismatic bastard...

Yeah there are plotholes over the story, but its to be expected when its been so long

Zeltretch? pardon me, but who is this? The creator of the yukkuri? And the more I get into yukkuris, the more I realize that if they DID exist, I would round them up and destroy them all because they're so, well, "broken". It's like their purpose is meaningless and they seem like a meme that should have died and..... *rereads JIE's comments from everywhere* so that's what you were trying to say.... You don't hate them because they're annoying talking heads, you dislike them because they were a joke that went out of hand, right?

It's actually a Nasu Fandom Joke, Zelretch is some powerful wizard capable of "True Magic" (god like reality hoping stuff compared to average magic) the guy is memetically portrayed as a troll that would go far just to make jokes, reason why I joke about him making or modifying yukkuris just to troll us.
Psycho2112 said: You don't hate them because they're annoying talking heads, you dislike them because they were a joke that went out of hand, right?
Heh kinda close, first of All, I don't hate them in general, as you may had seen, I had my time of liking them and such, I just hate the majority of them that are basically smug snakes or obnoxious idiots, I hate those, and usually in fiction, unlike what a civilized gentleman does in real life, it's easy to answer to smugsnakes and obnoxious idiots with ultra violence.
If they were fanonically a joke that went out of hand I would probably be extra dissapointed at them, and whoever thought it would be funny, since I clearly don't see the joke...
They took a yukkuri who, even though pretty stupid, wanted to let others take it easy, and turned her into a vicious yukkuri with a superiority complex who delights in killing those less fortunate than her! :O
How does this make you feel? :O
So the yukkuri finally becomes a mirror of humanity's worst traits and intents. Fabulous.
Bullshit, true badge Yu's are easy Yukkuris, those bastards are nothing but superiority complex scums!!!!!!
Shitty trainer only making more fake badge yukkuris!!!!!!!!
Uneasy, uneasy, uneasy!!!!!!
Finally, in the last test, Little Marisa killed a dirty, ribbon-less little Reimu who was greeting her.
Little Reimu's pleading only fueled Little Marisa's limitless hatred. Under Little Marisa's repeated blows, Little Reimu was finally reduced into a pile of dirty bean paste.
"Trash yukkuri that can't take it easy, GO DWIE EAJYYYYYYYYYY!"The two groups of yukkuris in the pet store started to cause Little Marisa to feel as if her standing had changed.
Those dirty yukkuris with no accessories received daily beatings from the pet store workers and were mocked by the badged yukkuris.
At first, Little Marisa didn't understand. But afterwards she knew that they were "trash" that couldn't take it easy, and they should be ostracized. Gradually, Little Marisa's attitude towards them changed from sympathy to hatred.Even though the suffering didn't change much for the better, the difference was that those very easy badged yukkuris began to treat Little Marisa better every day.
Whenever Little Marisa received punishment, these yukkuris would tenderly gather around Little Marisa and comfort her with rub rub. They would praise Little Marisa as a "well behaved and very easy child.""Very good!" Now that the testing was over, Mister Trainer smiled--a rare sight to see. "Little Marisa, it's been hard, but from today onward, your suffering ends! Your happy and easy yu-life is waiting for you. After this, it's up to you to behave!"
So saying, he pinned a shining golden badge on Little Marisa's hat.
"You need to remember what you were taught during training, or else all the privileges you receive will be taken away!" Mister Trainer warned.
Little Marisa had finally become the Gold Badge pet yukkuri she dreamed of being.
