Touhou Procreation

[Anonymous No.]

Why does the gensoukyo gene pool consist mainly of females?

I assume when villagers die they get reincarnated into cute 2hu's but it just so happens you get youkai like youmu who aren't pure bred so there has too be at least one person brave enough to procreate with a youkai

So my headcanon is human blood is just way too weak when mixed with youkai blood so that's why its near impossible to produce any male youkai right?

>>38530563
Anon, ZUN does Touhou for the money. I don't understand how anyone can think that's not the case. It's not like he sells his games for 15 USD each if he was simply making the games for himself. If ZUN knows it'll be controversial to add a malr character in a game series that primarily has had an all female cast for decades he won't do it. He lets his fanbase make fangames using his IP because it gets his series more popular, hence earning him more money. He even wants his characters added to Smash Bros for god sake. He allowed a company to make gacha game of his IP despite having said that he dislikes gacha games. He allowed cave to use his IP. It's clear where he wants his series to be heading.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38530717
While it ZUN has gotten more cynical in his handling of touhou over the years he still is nowhere near the average fuckhead in the industry he resides.
It could be said that the last game he made solely for himself was 08, as it had been intended to be the last touhou project game for at least a few years, and he expected that he would end up working in some company or other as a wagie. Well, luckily for him and for us, EoSD PCB and IN were huge successes at comiket and he decided to take making touhou more seriously.
I would mark this as the point that he started making games in the hopes of sustaining himself through the revenue, with PoFV being the first in this line, tho that was a somewhat hastily put together game meant for comiket.
MoF onwards the games change in nature, with the plots being more cause and effect based, than just characters fucking around and moving on whims.
At the same time we also see the first printworks with Bougetsushou, Bohemian and Perfect Memento. These works mark the establishment of a more thought out lore.
After that the next "big" step into cynisism would be 16, which carries the feel of "ugh, i guess ive got to make a game" and the approval of the gacha games, there are multiple ones.
As for some of the points you make
> It's not like he sells his games for 15 USD each if he was simply making the games for himself.
First, improve your grammatical structure and cohesion, but from what i gather you mean that if he really made these games for himself he wouldn't sell them. And while i do believe that he hasnt made the games exclusively for himself since at least PoFV, its ridiculous to criticize someone for selling a work they make. There is nothing wrong with making money off your works, art for purely arts sake doesn't put food on the table. Additionally back in the day the games where distributed physically, so there was a base cost for the disks.
>If ZUN knows it'll be controversial to add a malr character in a game series that primarily has had an all female cast for decades he won't do it.
It wouldn't be controversial, it would be atypical. The reasons as to why ZUN sticks to female characters are two as far as I can tell, 1 he likes drawing girls and 2 they are more popular, at least outside the fujo demographic. And as to character popularity, or more importantly, exploitation of said popularity, it doesnt matter much. Lets be honest here, ZUN could've released only male characters after IN and the merchandise sales wouldnt change much. The characters from 06 07 and 08 are so overwhelmingly popular that there wouldnt be much loss without the rest.
>He lets his fanbase make fangames using his IP because it gets his series more popular, hence earning him more money.
This point is outright retarded, what should he do? Act like nintendo and send the kneebreakers whenever someone dares to make a fangame based of his doujin series???
>He even wants his characters added to Smash Bros for god sake
Of all the things you mentioned this is the most serious, as involvement with smash shit would inevitably poison the franchise, lead to stricter control over fan content and herd more normalfags in
And one last point for the gacha stuff. Before I mentioned it as a step into the direction of cynisism, with ZUN approving of something he isn't a fan off because of the money involved. However its possible that he didn't want to set a double standard, by allowing people to make monetised touhou games, but not permitting the gacha guys from making ones because he personally doesn't like gacha. It would be silly in the same way that it would be silly to prevent someone from making a platformer if he disliked platformers.
There are lots of non gacha touhou games that are monetised, and all monetised touhou games have to be passed by ZUN for approval, with a set of rules that must be followed to be accepted.

There's plenty of males, human and youkai in Gensokyo. They're just not relevant to incidents and danmaku battles since those are for girls as ZUN said in his interview for EoSD IIRC.
You could view 2hu as a mahou shoujo series, girls at the forefront and men just exist as NPC's save for ones important to the lore of a relevant character or worldbuilding.

Anon isn't talking about anything Kasen said or thought. In fact Kasen didn't understand the claim, which implies that it's possibly not even correct. Reimu says that youkai nowadays are not youkai in the original sense, but Kasen (an ancient youkai) is genuinely confused by the concept, and the final chapter of the series shows that when Kasen was young she looked exactly the same.
With full context, it feels like these pages are suggesting more simply that youkai are not scary enough, and have become very complacent--not suggesting that youkai have changed physically, per se. If anything Reimu's words imply they have the same form as always.

Sakuya is the only human that might attack you. I doubt she would do anything towards you though before she cuts you into shreds, that would be improper.

Magicians meanwhile might abduct you if you are a shota I can't get over the fact that's actually canon or use you as a human sacrifice. Probably not Marisa or Alice though.

Probably a good idea. The only other youkai that seems somewhat trustworthy is Wriggle. Mostly because she wants humans and insects to get along.

>>38617344
I would say it's less that you have to take it with a grain of salt and more that you should think about if she can lie about it and would lie about it.

For instance, she COULD very well lie about Rumia eating people. Unless she's personally asked her, she only has vague rumors to go on. And if she did personally ask her, it's pretty likely Rumia told her to embellish her threat level. Granted, I do think Rumia is the type of Youkai that eats people. But it is still possible for Akyuu to eat people.

The other two though are a bit harder to justify in the same way. Youkai would have little reason to embellish their threat towards outsiders considering they don't read Akyuu's writing. And her conclusion regarding Wriggle, while a guess, doesn't seem like something she would have a reason to lie about.

You are looking too much into this. Akyuu is meant to provide us insight into Gensokyo and its residents. There is no reason to assume it is not true, it does not really contradict anything we already know.
>>38597323
Evolution of how youkai had been percieved in Japan is a subject on its own. Touhou focuses mostly on classic period, Asuka, Nara, Heian. Well, mostly Heian I'd say. Youkai depictions from that time are faceless, scary entities that erase you from existence if you speak to them or pass their house. If a youkai from that time plays games with you, the best solution is to leave the house, never come back, warn others and ask everyone around if it could be an angry onryou.
Buddhism influence changed that, and many youkai became metaphors for being lost on your path. By the time Gensokyo gets established, even by most traditional standards, youkai became much, much more humane entities. So what if some prey on humans? They have emotions, relationships, hobbies, they are way more human than they used to. Some walk the streets of the human village with little to no cover.The fact Rumia or Nemuno are scary predators hunting lost souls does not change the fact kappas run entertainment for humans and Eientei sells medicine.

Youkai are by their very nature highly emotional and selfish creatures. If something makes them feel good, like sex, they will most likely go out of their way to seek it regardless of any practical applications.

>>38643257
Also this. Granted, for most of them it's less that they feed on fear and more that they need fear to survive. But I imagine that other emotions do sometimes suffice, since not all Youkai exists just because they are feared.

>patchy being a known notable exception
Patchouli isn't notable because magicians are basically just humans that can use magic naturally. They aren't any different beyond that, both human and non human types only have a natural human lifespan until they learn how to sustain themselves with magic. Byakuren is the notable exception because she can make herself strong. The typical even fully ageless youkai mage is just as strong as they look.

>aren't they genuinely stronger than the average human? at least the vast majority
Depending on what you call youkai, the majority are ghosts and fairies which are weaker than humans. As far as power goes as a concept, power isn't necessarily physical. Medicine's poisons are dangerous enough to affect other youkai, but she still has a doll body, nothing an axe can't handle. The majority after that are probably beast youkai which would likely be physically stronger than humans, but honestly like the humans that get mentioned are exceptional humans, most of the youkai that get mentioned are exceptional youkai. The rest are young child youkai (like Rumai) who are stupid and probably not so much stronger than a human, if at all considering ZUN likes to say how they're stupid small fry. Akyuu is basically the only one saying they're generally physically stronger anyway and even then she's being wishy washy about it with Rumia. Honestly, if youkai are shaped by belief, spending too much time thinking of them as cute humanoids alone would weaken them physically, which I suppose is why Akyuu theorized that Rumia hides herself to hide her appearance. People are scared of darkness not little girls. Tengu, oni, and kappa at least have histories of being a strong species by nature to keep them powerful. Generically "youkai" could just be a girl with a really long neck who is barely different from a human except that she's really chuuni looking. Even then, if they're stronger than an average human, you just bring more humans. Even Akyuu who says youkai are stronger than a human says
>The countermeasure would be to not walk alone at night. This is not just limited to this youkai, but is the most basic form of protection against other youkai.

If nothing else, that Marisa is a normal human and that Cirno is a fairy, who is by default weaker than humans even if she is really strong, are able to become strong enough to easily defeat youkai on the level of Rumia implies a slightly above average human should be able acheive the level of overpowering her. And hell, you don't even have to overpower her, just trap her and have some strong/magical cuffs/chains/cords. An oni could break them but probably not a random youkai.

>>38656569
This is actually a pretty good analysis. I do want to add though that a lot of Youkai seem to have natural weapons. Both Chen and Mystia for instance could probably do some serious damage with their nails.

[Anonymous No.]

How strong are Youkai against modern weapons anyway? I know they are basically immune to physical damage for the most part, but they are also mentioned as having a weakness to fire. A handgun and a motolov cocktail should seemingly allow you to take out your average Youkai.

[Anonymous No.]

>>38656661
Youkai aren't strong against weapons, youkai are durable. Even if you hack them apart, they heal up. You could blow fat holes in them with a shotgun and they'd heal up. Hell, there's that recent game that proved even Flandre using her power to destroy them doesn't actually kill youkai. (provided the youkai might be a spirit? already.)

>A handgun and a motolov cocktail should seemingly allow you to take out your average Youkai.
Depends on what average is. Example, you can't kill fairies at all except by destroying whatever they are based around, even though you could easily take down several fairies barehanded. They just come back to life. According to PMiSS anyway animal youkai are more physical than others and don't regenerate as easily, so you should probably be able to kill them with normal weapons if you do it well enough.

Note that taking them out doesn't mean they're gone forever if they're something more like fortune teller, who Reimu had to burn the book he wrote so someone else wouldn't read it and revive him.(now that I think about it, that's probably an example of what weak to fire means, although I'm not sure where your mention is from) But as for defeating them and escaping, modern weapons would probably work well enough.

The moon people seemed to praise outside world technology and be losing the war when the humans started building a moonbase in the events mentioned before IN started that least to Eirin hiding the moon, so comparatively our tech is good against supernatural people or humans in Touhou are more advanced. On the other hand, I don't think moon rabbits or Lunarians are particularly unkillable physically.

>Youkai aren't strong against weapons, youkai are durable.
That's why I brought up a Molotov cocktail. Since I do remember them being weak against fire. Blow a hole in their brain and then throw a cocktail on them while they are regenerating.

I want to add that in japanese myth, while youkai are powerful, most can be killed in the same ways a human can. Even the powerful Oni such as Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji, which are the basis for Suika and Kasen respectively, where beaten by normal humans and died from a good old head chopping from normal nippon swords, which if you don't know aren't particularly durable.
Youkai are dangerous due to their special abilities and their malicious intents, but even the strongest can be killed with a bit of trickery and occasionally divine aid. For example the party that went to kill Shuten Douji had the help of four local kami, which granted them a special sake that weakened Shuten and also aided in holding him down, and in one rendition of the story Ibaraki already had his arm chopped off by one of the party members, and later was defeated again in a duel by that guy.
Of course, in touhou Suika and Kasen both rematerialized (and well, its likely that Kasen wasnt at the fortress were Suika got decapitated in touhou cannon, as she purposefully cut off and sealed her arm) so its clear that if you dont seal a youkai it will reappear (with the potential necessity for a certain amount of youki derived from belief) but that doesn't matter if you just get attacked by one at random, you kill it and move on.

I'm pretty sure Raikou and hisI was about to write down "her" because Fate Grand Order fucked me up gang is anything but normal. Kintoki alone is basically Japanese Hercules.

>course, in touhou Suika and Kasen both rematerialized
To be fair, Suika seems to have mellowed out considerably and it's possible that like Kasen she lost quite a bit of her power.

How are you supposed to procreate with a concept

I thought about something similar, but a concept allows something to be manifested as anything. Taking James Bond, many people can portray him and while they are portraying him in the movies, they are James Bond. If someone is having sex with him in the movie, they are having sex with James Bond, not the actor playing James Bond. So all you need to do to procreate with a concept is create a situation under which you are able to be in the same situation. If you wish to bang a Touhou, you must have someone play the role of the Touhou while you play the role of yourself. Writing a story, making a manga, or creating a production such as a movie or play are valid. Taking it to the limit, even if you were in a live action movie with a cosplayer and had sex, when you watched it thereafter it would, by virtue of a Touhou girl being just a character concept in an IP, be you as yourself having sex with the desired Touhou. Having someone portray your children would be you successfully procreating with them. You just need to show it to others and it would become part of their legend.

In the Touhou world, just spreading enough rumors of you and your preferred mate having children is probably enough. You might even be able to make use of >>38644396 if you start worshiping something as being the child of your desired goddess and yourself.

You cannot. Technically speaking I don't think a fictional character or a youkai's corporeal manifestation is really a concept either, they still have a physical form and presence while a concept does not. Given the time, skills and ability you can do whatever you please to anything that has a physical form, but you cannot do anything to a concept.
>>38668276
Which is why I'm inclined to disagree with this. Having sex with a body or an actor who is meant to embody a specific character/concept is something, perhaps, but I would not equate it with the concept itself. This is not even to mention that I am more convinced that the average doujin artist is holding a highly intricate puppet show where he plays every role and says every line, shattering his own psyche into multiple pieces in order to "act out" dreams of domination because he is incomprehensibly agitated by the fact that he wants what he can never have.
>You just need to show it to others and it would become part of their legend.
>In the Touhou world, just spreading enough rumors of you and your preferred mate having children is probably enough.
Would this not require a decent amount of people to believe in your story for any changes to actually occur? That does not seem like an easy thing. Even if we grant that this can feasibly happen, who is to say that it isn't a perfect opportunity for the youkai? Grant whatever demented desire the common people have or imagine, and let them enjoy what comes after, good or ill. They would have no one to blame but themselves.

By the time of the present day, everybody and their mother knows an Onis' weakness, so while they can be immensely powerful and dangerous to the unprepared, someone who actually wants to murder one can do so with only marginally more effort then it would take to kill a regular person, hence Oni being treated as a bit of a gray area in the Human Village, being allowed when most other types of Youkai are not.
Likewise, isn't the fact that if their spirits aren't sealed, their bodies will reform also an Oni fact?

Though, I thought Suika was Shuten Douji's daughter?
