I should really work on a youkai physiology page at this rate. Or maybe not, text walls are funny. Anyways, the other thread is in bump hell so I'll make what should be a slightly less controversial one.
Resistance Modification and further Empowerment from these scans. Youkai can basically change whatever they do or don’t resist on a whim, as shown by how Suika is stated to be harmed by beans here, but is eating them just fine here, combined with her statement of "just as there are times when beans are poisonous to us, there are times when they're not". However, letting certain things affect them (such as beans for oni) would allow them to assure their existence and increase their power and influence. The first ability is a bit weird though, so idk if it'd qualify for anything else.
Passive Self-Perception Manipulation, as time flows much more slowly for them. It’s very unlikely that this is referring to their longevity, as there’s no indication that that would affect your perception of time, and is somewhat contradicted by how even longer-lived individuals like Hourai immortals or lunarians don’t seem to have an altered sense of time. Additionally, Yukari is speaking about youkai in general here, which would include even recently created youkai such as tsukumogami. rest in piss speed equalized Touhou MUs lmao
This would also be a solid piece of evidence for Acausality (Type 4), as having a distinctly different flow of time is generally considered a qualification for type 4 acausality. Furthermore, youkai exist within Gensokyo, which also has a different flow of time, and is built upon different laws. This would technically grant acausality to all Gensokyo denizens. Also, Gensokyo in this context refers to everything encompassed by the Hakurei Barrier, which extends past the Lunar Capital, so this acausality should apply to all youkai regardless of location.
There are numerous other examples of Touhou characters being unaffected by alterations to time and causality:
-Can act normally in Eientei, which has a frozen flow of time and history and exists outside of time and history (history being a system of causality in Touhou).
-Can act normally in Avici and Higan, which have frozen flows of time.
-Unaffected by Keine reversing time. Since Keine's ability is specifically that of altering history, you could argue that she's reversing causality here as well.
-Unaffected by Keine erasing the human village from history.
