For every soul she sends to hell, Shikieiki judges herself two eternities of suffering. This is why she continues to judge; it makes her miserable.

Minoriko’s bust size is directly proportional to the yield of the year’s harvest, so a bountiful harvest means a bountiful bosom, and vice versa.

Sakuya Is not Lunarian; In Silent Sinner in Blue and Cage in Lunatic Runagate, she is not worried about anyone on the moon recognizing her. Rather, she is a descendant or embodiment of the Goddess Konohana-Sakuya (due to their shared name), sent to watch over gensokyo. This could also somewhat explain her Time/Space powers, and When Eirin recognized Sakuya in Imperishable night, It could be that Sakuya inherited Immortality from konohana-sakuya, and Eirin and Sakuya, in their thousands of years alive, crossed paths at some point.

Most of the Yokai’s had a human lover, but since Yokai’s tend to age slower than humans, their human lovers die first than them

The youkai of Gensokyo actually look like their original, monsterous forms to ordinary humans to terrify them.
Only humans with special abilities and fellow youkai see them with human-like charactersitics.

I personally think that Tewi has a bit of a southern accent. I have no idea why but it seems to fit. However I think we can mostly agree that Yamame would no doubt be a southern belle.

Futo has very stiff fingers. Because she uses her fingers a lot for her feng-shui manipulation, her power is dampered by their stiffness. She plays the piano and recorder to exercise them.

Yamame’s extra legs are hidden underneath her clothes. It’s why her dress looks so poofy.
