Tsurara's Mom... LOL

Best Mom ever? LOL

Yes... Tsurara... go steal Rikuo's lips, you know you have the hawts for it already, LOL.



BTW... I wonder who's the Father (for Tsurara)... heh....

[DrkTempest]

Then again, Tsurara left her mom alone with one of her human rivals.

Kana better not show signs of liking Rikuo... better keep a poker face girl XD

[greensoulreaper]

Wow, chapter 205 has got the most pleasant surprise I've seen in a while.

[Kata.]

Setsura: "So... you are my daughter's love rival, eh?"
Kana: "...Eh? Eh?"
Setsura: "As a mother! To support my only child! To finally fulfill my 400-year-long desire!! I must froze you to death right here, right now!"
Kana: "Kyaaaaaah!!"

Something like that?

I really like Setsura's design character. How should I say.... She looks.... cold and cruel like the winter itself.

And more brush style-drawing from Shiibashi-sensei!! Seriously, it's one of the factor why I follow this manga and never watch the anime.

May Tsurara steal Rikuo first kiss

Since Yokai are born from a story
If we refer to Yuki Onna legend
Yuki Onna in the legend have a human husband
Maybe, just maybe, most Yuki Onna will follow the legend
They will try to find a human husband first
Tsurara Father might be a human, if Her mother follow Yuki Onna Legend.

LegendS. This is especially important to mention when talking about Yuki Onna's because no other youkai (besides maybe Kappa) has so many different legends.

Doubt Tsurara's father is a human tough. Seems that NuraMago strongly follows the rule that having a human parent means you are a Hanyuu (part-youkai).

[greensoulreaper]

But then again, we know that in the Nura no Mago universe, Yokai could be born in different ways than natural living things, (such as through storytelling), so it's possible that Tsurara could have been "created" by Setsura alone...who said there had to be a father? Now as for how, I have no idea. It's not like Shiibashi told us everything about each of those types of Yokai he's introduced so far. There's a lot we still don't know.

Plus, we've only seen one other Yuki Onna (Reira) who isn't Setsura & Tsurara. Maybe they're a female only yokai species or something....just throwing out some possibilities, lol.

Doubt there can be a male Snow Woman (Yuki Onna) tough ^__^;
Yuki Onna's male child would be some other type of Ice Youkai or have father's type I guess, but obviously not a Yuki Onna as they are a female only species.

lol oh yeah, of course, "yuki onna" meaning snow woman, hehe, forgot. However, I actually tried googling "yuki otoko" and got nothing pertaining to old Japanese legends about snowmen.

[manga2x]

Since following Legends is a natural thing for Youkai
Perhaps Yuki Onna is a special case
Their Female will children will turn into a Yuki onna

It isn't written in the legend though
I have been trying to find more story about Yuki Onna children, but found nothing
There are no story mentioning whether their children will become a Yuki Onna or not

I think they have some other name... Yuki Warashi was mentioned once in the Manga but I can't say I know what that is... one person on MH mentioned Fuji Shogun as well

It isn't written in the legend though

There are no story mentioning whether their children will become a Yuki Onna or not

Here are some of Yuki Onna reproduction myths I know of:
- a Yuki Onna having a happy human family with a human (who until very late had no idea his wife was a Yuki Onna... fun story)
- a Yuki Onna raping her human male victim (this is where freezing abilities come in handy...) and the child is a Yuki Onna
- a Yuki Onna is born when a Yuki Onna dies
- a Yuki Onna taking her victim's sperm after killing him
- a Yuki Onna abducting human girls and turning them into Yuki Onna's

And these are just stuff I heard of and I doubt I heard even 5% of Yuki Onna legends. There are very few reproduction methods that didn't end up in Yuki Onna legends. Thats what you get when Yuki Onna are being immensely popular throughout entire Japan for centuries.

So many version.
I guess people do change the story to their liking

I read Yuki Onna story in Lafcadio Hearn Kwaidan and watched Youtube Yuki Onna story
The one i know is the first point that you mentioned
Where They live together happily until the very end of the story

Taken from Lafcadio Hearn Kwaidan book

Spoiler

O-Yuki proved a very good daughter-in-law. When Minokichi's mother came
to die,--some five years later,--her last words were words of affection
and praise for the wife of her son. And O-Yuki bore Minokichi ten
children, boys and girls,--handsome children all of them, and very fair
of skin.

"The country-folk thought O-Yuki a wonderful person, by nature different
from themselves. Most of the peasant-women age early; but O-Yuki, even
after having become the mother of ten children, looked as young and
fresh as on the day when she had first come to the village"
One night, after the children had gone to sleep, O-Yuki was sewing by
the light of a paper lamp; and Minokichi, watching her, said:--

"To see you sewing there, with the light on your face, makes me think
of a strange thing that happened when I was a lad of eighteen. I then
saw somebody as beautiful and white as you are now--indeed, she was
very like you."...

Without lifting her eyes from her work, O-Yuki responded:--

"Tell me about her... Where did you see her?"

Then Minokichi told her about the terrible night in the ferryman's
hut,--and about the White Woman that had stooped above him, smiling and
whispering,--and about the silent death of old Mosaku. And he said:--

"Asleep or awake, that was the only time that I saw a being as
beautiful as you. Of course, she was not a human being; and I was
afraid of her,--very much afraid,--but she was so white!... Indeed, I
have never been sure whether it was a dream that I saw, or the Woman of
the Snow."...

O-Yuki flung down her sewing, and arose, and bowed above Minokichi
where he sat, and shrieked into his face:--

"It was I--I--I! Yuki it was! And I told you then that I would kill
you if you ever said one work about it!... But for those children
asleep there, I would kill you this moment! And now you had better take
very, very good care of them; for if ever they have reason to complain
of you, I will treat you as you deserve!"...

Even as she screamed, her voice became thin, like a crying of
wind;--then she melted into a bright white mist that spired to the
roof-beams, and shuddered away through the smoke-hold... Never again
was she seen.

...
So ... 3 leader of demon parade ...
madam fox, Nue, and Rikuo ...

Kyouto demon parade by madam fox...
the number is small but each youkai is POWERFUL ...
and the leader herself is powerful too ...

Hellgate demon parade by Nue ...
the number seems quite vast and powerful too ... the leader also SUPER POWERFUL ...

big gathering of Japan demon parade by Rikuo ... + Yura as an extra Omyouji ...
TONS of youkai, each individual power seems above average but weaker compared enemy individually ...
need good teamwork and extreme fight to win ...

hoping for madam fox to join Rikuo's team ...

[Beelz]

I get the feeling that Haguromo Gitsune will join Rikou but before that she will try speak with Semei ofc this will fail and he will attempt to kill her again but this time Rikou will stop him.

Also i don't know if anybody else felt this way but i could never bring my self to dislike Haguromo Gitsune because she was just doing what anymother would do for their son although she did take it abit too far for me this just reinforced that she was a vary caring parent willing to sacrifice herself for her son... even now after Semei killed her she loves him... Something else i would like to ask you about is what sort of love does Haguromo Gitsune hold for Rikou? The obvious choice is she simply sees Rikou as a younger brother although personally i somehow found my self hoping she wanted to marry Rikou although people have shown mixed opinions on the matter because Hagromo Gitsunes Vessel was Rihans first wife but because where dealing with Yokai i can see anything as a possable outcome.

[Nayrael]

Due to the fact that her vessel was not perfect, she and Yamabuki are now one person it seems (when Kitsune looks at water, we see Yamabuki's reflection). Yamabuki loves Rikuo as her foster son and due to that, 9-tails Kitsune now probably also loves Rikuo as her foster-son.

Edited by Nayrael, 24 June 2012 - 05:42 PM.

[greensoulreaper]

I have a feeling Hagoromo will side with Rikuo, but in the end she'll end up killing herself and Seimei.

[Beelz]

That sounds intresting although it will be sad if she dies again although she will be reborn... i really want to see how Rikou gets along with her

Also it makes sense when put this way... since both Yamabuki and miss fox became one and share the same memories i guess all we can do is wait and see how it all happens.

[DrkTempest]

If nothing else, Kitsune could lift the curse. This would free Rikuo to have children with another Yokai, And if that is the case, Tsurara, who was confident that all she had to do is wait for the death of any human girls to have Rikuo all to herself, may find herself in competition with a lot of Yokai daughters. If you look at the number of villages, families, and clans that have come together under his flag for this battle...there are bound to be a lot of girls.

However, since this is not a rom-com, I doubt any of this will be addressed.

[greensoulreaper]

- a Yuki Onna is born when a Yuki Onna dies

I thought this version might have explained how Tsurara came to be but Setsura's recent appearance debunked this one.
