The only thing lit up is the traffic light Yukari is sitting on, and it's not plugged into anything, so I'm inclined to suspect the obvious.

Huh? No.

And as far as the ZUNverse is concerned, the whole spellcard system was made to balance youkai and humans, so that no one would totally overpower the other, as losing one would destroy both.

Losing one would "destroy both" because losing the shrine maiden is Bad (TM).

More importantly, the Youkai didn't want to be hunted to death by humans, and vice versa, so it was in the interests of both to make peace.

I'd think the humans have more to fear than the youkai.

The Youkai created Gensokyo *as a haven for Youkai* because the Youkai were being hunted to death by humans.

I thought it was because the concept of youkai were being rejected by outsiders.

Whatever. Either one pretty much works.

>> No.3397241

>>3397224

Though one should probably note that the Youkai in Gensokyo are stronger than the average Youkai, since weaker Youkai were more likely to be killed off by humans.

And of course, we hear more about the stronger ones than the weaker ones.

And the strongest ones, like Yukari, who *could* wipe Japan off the map, are definitely not worried about humans anyways.

>> No.3397244

Youkai have more to fear actually.

They have to watch out for other youkai, gods, AND humans, while humans merely need worry about Youkai.

Even 1000 years ago, youkai were still turning to a human for hope. I guess all the strong youkai didn't give a damn about the weak ones.

At least humans keep the overpopulation of Earth in check somehow.
Imagine what would happen if all the Africans wouldn't kill themselves? Frightening, isn't it?

>>3397244
I don't see it like that. The average youkai seems so much stronger than the average human, and youkai seem to be so much more plentiful...

It seems like a good thing for humans that they're on okay terms (it could be a whole lot worse) with youkai.

>> No.3397272

>>3397263

That's because it was intentionally set up that way.

The Youkai get a world to themselves where they don't have to worry about much of anything. In return, they don't attack humans.

Can't happen. It should be obvious by now since she doesn't age, but Reimu is the physical avatar of the Hakurei Barrier itself, much like Kogasa is the physical avatar of the umbrella she carries.

As long as Gensokyo exists, Reimu will exist to protect it.

Is that canon?

It's interesting and all, but I need to know.

No, but there's nothing in canon that outright contradicts it either. The theory fits, at least.

>> No.3397300

The pact was made between humans and Youkai. There was something about dragons being present at the time of the creation of the border, but it was the result of a human-Youkai agreement.

Chen's breast size depends on how much she's obeying Ran, who is obeying Yukari. They cannot be larger than Yukari's breasts.
