Yukari's Gap

[Anonymous No.]

What is the significance of how Yukari's gap looks? Is she and her power actually based off some mythical monster?

What is up with all the creepy eyes in her gap? Something that looks like that is Hellsing and I think also in a part of Evangelion.

[Arcueid Brunestud !ARCIkc4cG6 No.]

A theory has been bandied about on /jp/ before about the eye symbols in Yukari's gaps.

Apparently, it is deeply ingrained in the human consciousness to be wary or afraid of many eyes in the darkness. While humanity evolved, protohumans and early humans found that seeing a lot of eyes in the dark of night usually meant that there were a lot of apex predators around, and death would very likely follow in short order.

So the motif of eyes in darkness evokes fear, panic, the fight-or-flight responses, that sort of thing, in humans today.

This insinuates a lot of interesting things about Yukari's gaps.

Could she have made them to look so, to discourage people from entering them? Or to wage psychological warfare on humans? Or does it indicate that Yukari preys upon humans? Or is it just a style meant to impress?

[Arcueid Brunestud !ARCIkc4cG6 No.]

If so, then why would she drop people into them as a practical joke, or let members of her household play with them?

Does she really have that little regard for one's personal safety? Or is the hellish dimension just scary-LOOKING, as opposed to being dangerously scary?

I like to think that Yukari is like Kogasa, in which the busty blonde woman you see is actually a projection, and with her abilities that projection becomes corporeal, but in the end the gaps themselves are Yukari's true form. She's everywhere and anywhere and nowhere at once.

As for why there are so many eyes in those gaps, >>4605512 sounds pretty plausible. Or it could just be that all those eyes are Yukari's, every single one of them, and she watches you as you're plunged into them.

It also explains how Ran and Chen can traverse safely through them or be used as a practical joke while still being lethal in a hostile territory.

[Anonymous No.]

The eyes aren't even useful for spying since she relies on ravens for that.

[Anonymous No.]

Perhaps there is something in Japanese psychology or philosophy that signifies the existence of gaps?

I recall us once bringing up the God of the gaps theory but it was never panned out at the time. Calling Yukari the inhuman manifestation of humanity's cynical disposition to the vanishing role of a superstition and a supernatural being in exchange for a world of mundanity and scientific explanation makes a great deal of sense. She was one of the mothers of the Great Hakurei Border that is said to separate fantasy and common sense. Ironically, if Touhou really is a "clap if you believe in fairies" kind of world it is suggested to be, then that means Yukari is a kind of anti-existence youkai. This is where the theory becomes a bit of an unnecessary mindscrew.

It's probably best to just assume she is the inhuman manifestation of the act of spiriting away, like her original title dictates, and much like Rumia is a manifestation of darkness and fairies a manifestation of Nature aspects. She DID manage to spirit away a whole region of Japan and continues to hide it under everyone's noses.

Well, the basis for it is the idea that it's stated she's killed Kaguya. However, Kaguya has also killed her. On the other hand, Mokou is primarily a soloist, whereas Kaguya has, at the least, the bunnies and Eirin not fighting her hardest.

Now, a few people argued that since it takes more firepower to actually *kill* Kaguya, that might argue that she's stronger, there are two easy explanations for why Mokou would die between every spellcard.

1.) She's entirely attack focused. No defense. She knows she'll come back anyway, why defend?

2.) Self-terminates to heal the injuries she's taken. Again, it's not like she'll die when she's killed.

The first might argue that Mokou has less raw power, but the second simply gives the idea that she has a more pragmatic view on fighting. Either one works though, as the first one can also simply be that Mokou learned to fight after she became immortal... so why bother to learn to defend?

So, since she manages to occasionally get through and off Kaguya- for all the good it does- in spite of the fact that she 'dies' much more easily, Mokou is either more skilled or more powerful than Kaguya.

Based on one of her spell cards looks like Laplace's demon. But that's a tenuous conjecture. Look at Chado's Ran VS Yukari for a good interpretation. Her Gap is powered by some god demon, and she has a bit of the power of Laplace i.e predicting attacks by putting them into a complex equation based on previous attacks, present position etc

[NukuAnon !KkQuCBjG6M No.]

I believe she has control over whatever the hell she has in the gap. because she is the mightiest Youkai in Gensyoko and would probably outpower all of the ...things... in the gap, it also helps that she controls where to open/close slits in the gap so she can redirect anything anywhere. (I would love to see her use a shotgun, no one would be able to stand against her)

IF, there are creatures in the gap I would think that they are fairly weak alone, but can outpower anyone in vast numbers, I can see youkari throwing someone into the gap and ordering everything to rip apart whoever she threw in, the person would only last like 2-30 seconds(the strongest opponent being able to last a hefty amount of time, but you can't over power a tsunami that has an endless energy and inexhaustible mass supply.

There are Youkai outside Gensokyo. The lunar people, vampires and even Parsee is Persian (or hinted to be), and it isn't odd for Youkai to either leave gensokyo or stumble in (like the oni)

reading through your arguements I would like to point out that Rinnosuke is always bringing in items from the outside world. In ALL doujins with him, I'm pretty certain it's canon, that regardless of being in doujin or not, but overall belief, that Rinnosuke can leave to and fro anytime he needs supplies for his shop.

I'm also pretty sure that Yukari can gap outside of gensyoko anytime she wants to pull a prank on humans, you know, like making kids believe in the boogy-man by gapping into their closets and what not. i'm pretty sure that's how most similar stories would come about(other then the kid being absolutely batshit insane with hallucinations.) Youkai just pulling pranks on humans.

Just throwing this out, Yukari bring stuff for him and he's only been outside once but he had his eyes closed and some unseen person said "You do not belong here" but yeah you're right, doujins have truth in them by their very nature. It wouldn't be a doujin if everything new then that'd be an original work of art.

one doujin doesn't make it canon(hell neither do many) but it's pretty widely accepted that Rinnosuke can leave when he wants to, whenever he's trying to acquire goods for the shop. it's been in Sanae doujins, Eintei doujins, Marisa doujins and even Reimu doujins, that Rinnosuke can acquire stuff from the outside world every so often.

It's canon that: barrier has weakened and it's much easier to cross it now, humans from the outside world sometimes accidentaly cross it, at least some youkai hunt in the outside world, new youkai often arrive in Gensokyo from the outside, gods and vampires exist in the outside world.

And I'm most likely forgetting something.

Two groups of youkai (are lunarians youkai?) living behind barriers does not mean a barrier is essential for youkai life. It certainly helps, but there is no indication that its necessary.

If we are taking PM as a the literal word from God, it's in the monologue that seems to explain the relationship between humans and yokai, as well as the Outside world and Gensokyo in better detail.
