she what

oh yeah

and totally cool with it

Diviner: "I promise I won't hurt any humans"
Reimu: "I can guarantee that that is the case"

monsters hunting humans in a sustainable fashion is fine, it's part of how the system works; humans realizing they can just quit being human and breaking the system in half is not

while the rules of the game are sometimes not what they seem to be, the penalty for breaking them is VERY real

She can honestly say she's never killed a human though

he stopped being a human

so he stopped having human rights

maybe i just misunderstood the scene but i always wondered what this situation meant for humans who become youkai. youkai magicians (like alice and byakuren) does reimu not care abt punishing them bc the process is so much more laborious than what this shmuck did. or was she just feeling particularly pissy abt this guy.

he's not a cute girl

alice wasn't from the human vilage

Nor was Byakuren

the problem isn't any human becoming a youkai, it's members of the human vilage becoming youkai

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Reimu makes so many good faces in this sequence

It's completely impersonal

i always thought she was talking abt humans around gensokyo in general which. if most of them live in the human village that scans--

ok that makes more sense

The human village is a distinct area with borders

and youkai are under strict orders to not fuck with it

so if the youkai start coming from inside the human village

the whole system breaks down

tangent but

akyuu in the cutaway drawing shit on kosuzu's face while she's unconscious

she looks like she's really concentrating

she just bonks him on the head, in half

oh, I guess this means that Fumi needs to die?

well, get on that,

Fumi had clearly moved out of the village long ago.

by rejecting her arranged marriage, she stepped out of the cycles of the human village and became a member of the society of monsters long before she became a yokai.

I don't think it works like that

Anzu turns around and vaporizes Fumi with her bells immediately

it had to be done

I love the whole "surely you don't want to resort to needless killing" stunt and Reimu just being like eh, nah,

She's totally cool with killing

her job title has the word "exterminator" in it
