That too is bound to result in the deaths of the fragile babies, but that outcome wouldn't involve the possibility of the stalk catching fire. The Пapaдokc is that if the babies die, and the mother remains with its legs burned to uselessness, would it still want to live?
You guys are making yukkuris a bit too intelligent. If its stupid enough to get caught and get its legs burnt, chances are it's not smart enough to do any of the above things you guys said.
Well, most pregnant reimus wouldn't jostle the stalk too much however under circumstances like being chased they would ignore the babies and just run. Like how the guy calling penis vexed the mother enough to make the reimu try and attack the guy until he pointed out her jostling is harmful to the stalk.
So either it was being lazy or tricked into not running away by the catcher using the above mentioned method.
Powergoga: Yukkuri are not fast. Yukkuri take it easy. You wouldn't have to trick even a non-pregnant yukkuri to catch one. It's simply a matter of natural agility that they lack, not necessarily because it's dumb.
>>Yukkuri are not fast. Yukkuri take it easy. You wouldn't have to trick even a non-pregnant yukkuri to catch one. It's simply a matter of natural agility that they lack, not necessarily because it's dumb. Like so many things, this also depends on the artist. In one of DOS's stories, a marisa was fast and/or agile enough to evade Aya Shameimaru.
The solution the yukkuri chose to this problem is burning it's tongue. post #5322
>>In one of DOS's stories, a marisa was fast Yukkuri take after their appearances. Since Marisa is the fastest Touhou character, that would only make sense. Reimu however is the slowest. She's been the slowest ever since Touhou had a second character. She can charge the shit out of special attacks, and has homing bullets, but since YukkuReimu have neither attacks nor bullets they are stuck with the curse of acting leisurely.
That was a highly incorrect statement; it's not Marisa that's the fastest- it's Aya. And even if that's not canon( been a long time since I played Touhou) in almost every fanwork she has been presented as zooming around other characters, even Marisa, while they stand around confused.
Reimu is also not the slowest- that would be Yukarin, or that's the way she's presented in many fanworks, and yukkuris are entirely based on fanworks. In the games Alice never expressed sexual desire towards any characters but in the yukkuri fandom she became a serial rapist.
Marisa's trait is not speed but strength and cockiness, and that became twisted into an aura of evil that was seen in earlier comics.
