I am not gonna wake you up

Do you think she likes it being a Jiang shi?

>>17809520
I don't think she thinks much at all.

Cheongsam Yoshika a cuddly cute!

>"But there are times that lead us to believe that she seems to have some memories from when she was still alive.

From Yoshika's SoPM. I don't know man, the fact that she have memories of her past self means she still have a soul. I pity her honestly.

Necromancy is a crime beyond forgiveness. Seiga must die.

>>17810081
To be fair, Seiga never killed Yoshika. A dead body is nothing more than an object.

>>17807720
In my opinion her dialogue honestly has some of the funniest jokes in the franchise.

>>17810125
Except it's not. Read >>17810070 again.

>>17810238
Eastern necromancy is crime beyond forgiveness.

>>17810238
People don't recite poetry while staring at nothing when they are alive. Maybe it's just a leftover brain function from her rotten brain, kind of like muscle memories. The SoPM clearly said she died, meaning her soul has already been departed from her body.

I want to hug this jiangshi.

>>17810081
you're welcome to try, loser

If I took that talisman off would she die?

>>17811984
It would be extremly painful

>>17810310
Oh yeah, I'm sure there's some scientific reason for this undead monster of legend to behave like she did when she was alive. Definitely.
Yoshika died, soul left. Seiga raised her, soul came back, partially or not. Denied reincarnation, denied peace, always barely conscious in the limbo between life and death. An abomination by all accounts.
Seiga must die.

>>17811296
Someday.

>>17812460
That artist draws great bras.

>>17812460
So you take that "the soul has left but Seiga somehow manage to call back the soul from the netherworld" rather than "it's a leftover brain function"?

>>17812574
Yeah, more or less. Maybe not Seiga actively taking it back, but some bit of Yoshika self is clearly still in her.

>>17812587
Bullshit, saying it's a leftover brain function sounds way more plausible than Seiga actually managed to take a soul from the netherworld. Seiga just revive the corpse's neural system, that's all.

>clearly still in her
Yeah, sure. I'm sure Yoshika stare at nothing and recite poetry during her spare times. If you do the same thing multiple times for a long period of time, your body will start to do it unconsciously. The actions are imbedded in your brain. So it's no wonder she shows that kind of actions when her neural system is revived.

>>17812532
Ummm, what bras?

>>17812624
What is so implausible about a necromancer messing around with the souls of the dead? Why are you trying to attach a scientific explanation to the behavior of a fucking magical zombie?

>>17812650
What about you? Why is it taking back a soul all the way from the afterworld is more plausible than my explanation? Yoshika doesn't show an ounce of herself other than reciting some poetry, which can be argue as a leftover brain function. She's not capable of showing any kind of emotion nor engaging in normal human conversation without the paper, so why say she still have a soul?

>>17812812
Because a scientific explanation for a magical monster is fucking stupid, that's why.
Stop me if you've heard this one. Some magical fiction setting. A character's cornered by the zombified remains of their friend or lover or something like that. All seems lost as it closes in for the kill, but at the last second it stops and stares into their eyes. They hesitantly ask "...anon? Is that you?" or something like that, and the zombie's decayed expression takes on a sad quality or it moans mournfully. There's a sad, emotional moment.
NOW. Imagine that, but then some guy in a lab coat walks up and goes "Oh no, that's just leftover brain impulses. Still some stray sparks or whatever. Anon's dead as shit." Maybe even gets out a whiteboard for some visual aids. That's this.
Yes, it's plausible, but it's also really dumb. A necromancer doing necromancer things is both plausible AND isn't dumb, plus it actually fits the setting, so that's what I'll stick with.

>>17812870
Fine, do we have something better than Yoshika mindlessly reciting poetry while staring at nothing? Preferably any action that express some type of emotion? I know I'm stupid for giving scientific explanation for a fictional scenario, but that's only because "emotionlessly reciting poetry" doesn't mean she still have a soul, unless she recites it with tears in her eyes, then that would be something.

>>17812945
No, no, I'm not saying you're stupid, just that this idea is. Sorry.

No, nothing besides the poetry recital. The paragraph that mentions that action, quoted bellow, seems to imply it's not just her body glitching out, but nothing hard.
>But there are times that lead us to believe that she seems to have some memories from when she was still alive. When the charm is removed and she is freed from the wicked hermit's control, it seems that she will revert back to her old behaviors. One time, she was reciting poetry while staring at nothing with the whole cemetery covered in a carpet of fallen leaves. It was a little horrifying.

What IS pretty solid evidence against her brain still doing shit is that Yoshika's anti-decomposition spell doesn't work on her brain for some reason. Assuming Yoshika the jiang shi is the same as Yoshika the poet, then she's been dead and decaying since 880 AD. That brain's long gone.

This is good thread so far

>>17810081
Necrophilia is a crime beyond forgiveness

>>17812982
>880 AD
Nah, the anti-decomposition spell, though not perfectly, still work on her brain, otherwise her brain would decompose long before the TD incident. Having a rotten brain is different from having no brain at all. Albeit it's rotten, there's still some functions it can perform(talking, moving, ect). Since Yoshika never did any emotional stuff, I still hold she have no soul.

>>17813032
>A jiang shi controlled by a wicked hermit. Jiang shi usually do not last long as they are corpses. However, she does not rot due to an anti-decomposition spell placed on her (*1).
>1: Except her brain.

>>17814417
That must be one hell of a brain to still exist for 1100 years, am I right?

>>17814501
That is doesn't exist anymore is exactly what I'm saying.

>>17814515
She have a rotten brain, not completely brainless.

>>17814527
I don't do looping arguments, friend.

>>17814537
I hate repeating myself either. You do know SoPM is written by Akyuu, the same person who said Mokou is from a family of ninja assassins?

>>17814545
Yeah, yeah, every print work is wrong.

>but her brain is like a forgotten age of computers. It is very easy to kite her around.
I'm saying if the print works written by either Aya or Akyuu contradict with an factual canon source(Yoshika's official profile for example), then it's wrong.

>>17814614
Fair enough.

>It is very easy to kite her around.
That's adorable.

Akyuu is a somewhat unreliable narrator.

Big zombie tits. Good for paizuri in the summer.

If I pull her talisman off, will she die?

>>17816353
Question was already asked, you plank!

>>17815927
what's even written there?

Depends on the situation.

>>17818488
Cute. I want to put her on the table and pat her head before going to sleep.

I want to hop with the cute zombie!

>>17815977

You can trust her. She's not a bad Jiang Shi.
