But I guess if someone's convinced him that youchu are all evil by nature, and he's given them a space where they're allowed to live peacefully... and oh no, now I'm like this is a terrible parallel with Zhao Xinci's SID and Dixingren. /o\

Yeah, I have to say I really really don't want that! /o\

Zhu Jiu and Shen Wei both talk to youchu as if they understand them (though that could be rhetorical, and/or the way people IRL talk to animals).

Maybe youchu are like dogs, and can be trained?

I know, me neither. But it would be a really interesting arc. Maybe if SW had other reason to believe youchu were animalistic...? Or, oh, maybe if youchu were originally animalistic but have recently evolved sentience (super fast evolution aided by dark energy sources/the Hallows)?

Maybe youchu are like dogs, and can be trained?

Maybe! That doesn't quite fit with the way Shen Wei talks to me, imo. If they're just animals, surely the answer is to put them back in their place, not slay them. (If SW's in a hurry, he could freeze or otherwise immobilise them until he has time to deal with them.) But there might be more to it that I'm not seeing.

"Or, oh, maybe if youchu were originally animalistic but have recently evolved sentience (super fast evolution aided by dark energy sources/the Hallows)?"

This is a super cool idea and entirely possible (evolution on this planet is already freaky as it is :D). Doesn't really help with the general suckiness of youchu having no rights, lol, but a really cool idea in itself!

"If they're just animals, surely the answer is to put them back in their place, not slay them. (If SW's in a hurry, he could freeze or otherwise immobilise them until he has time to deal with them.)"

Yeah, ITA!! But then again, if they're not animals, then the answer is to at least give them a trial for breaking the law? There just isn't any case in which slaying them like this is the right thing to do (other than in self-defense). Which obviously doesn't mean that it shouldn't canonically happen at all, someone else could do it, but Shen Wei just really shouldn't be involved in this imo.
