야쿠모 유카리(八雲 紫)는 환상향의 경계를 관장하는 요괴로, 야쿠모 란을 식신으로 부리고 있다. 그녀는 "스키마 요괴"(すきま妖怪)[1]라고도 불리나, 유카리는 1인 1종족 요괴이기 때문에 여기서 말하는 "스키마 요괴"란 요괴 종족을 지칭하는 것이 아니다.[2] 유카리는 환상향의 사정을 가장 잘 파악하는 듯한 모습을 보이며, 현장에 직접 뛰어들기보다는 상황을 조작하는 방식으로 목표를 달성한다.
기본 정보
유카리는 동방요요몽의 판타즘 스테이지의 보스로 식신 란과 함께 등장했고, 이후의 게임에서도 몇 차례 등장했다. 동방영야초에서는 하쿠레이 레이무와 한 조를 이루어 플레이어 캐릭터로, 동방지령전에서는 레이무를 지원하는 역할로 등장하며, 각종 대전게임에서도 플레이어 캐릭터로 등장했지만, 동방심기루에서는 스테이지 배경 인물로서 등장했다. 또한, 동방문화첩 ~ Shoot the Bullet에서는 엑스트라 스테이지의 촬영 대상으로 등장했고, 탄막 아마노자쿠에서는 마지막 날에 등장했다.
유카리는 환상향의 요괴 중 가장 오래 산 편이고, 힘도 최강에 속하며, 현명한 요괴로 칭송된다.[3][4]. 유카리는 하쿠레이 대결계를 제안하여 지금의 환상향을 만드는 데 직접적으로 관여했다. 유카리는 자력으로 대결계를 넘어 바깥 세계로 갈 수 있는 거의 유일한 요괴로 묘사되지만, 후타츠이와 마미조 등 일부 예외도 존재한다.
성격
유카리는 전형적인 요괴다운 성격을 가진 요괴로 그려진다. 주로 잠만 자는 것으로 시간을 보내며 쾌락을 위해 사는 듯한 모습을 보일 때가 많다. 비록 환상향에 자주 나타나지는 않지만 환상향에서 가장 강한 요괴들을 포함해 환상향의 하쿠레이 대결계나 바깥 세계와 관계가 있는 사람들을 잘 알고 있다. 그녀 자신도 환상향에서 가장 강한 요괴들 중 하나로 그려지는데, 적을 상대할 때 바로 한방에 보내는 것을 원치 않고 봐주거나 장난치는 식으로 상대하는 것으로 시작할 때가 많다. 환상향의 지휘권을 쥐기에 적합한 그녀는 환상향에서 일어나고 있는 모든 일들에 대해 알고 있으며, 환상향에 무슨 일이 생기면 남들까지 일에 끌어들이려 하면서도 끝을 보려 한다. 예를 들어 동방비상천에서는, 천계의 진의를 파악하고 나서부터 히나나위 텐시를 적대한다.
유카리의 지능은 초인적으로, 특히 수학에 능하다. 동방문화첩 ~ Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red에서, 야쿠모 란은 유카리의 지적 수준은 자신마저 이해할 수 없을 정도로, 무간지옥의 깊이나 북두칠성이 북극성을 집어삼키는 데 걸리는 시간을 계산할 수 있을 정도라고 말한다.
직접 이변 해결에 나서는 성격이 아닌 그녀는 주로 남들이 그 이변을 해결할 수 있도록 뒤에서 조종하는 역할로 그려질 때가 많다. 하지만 정말로 상황에 직접 개입할 필요가 있다고 느낄 때면 그녀 자신도 직접 이변 해결에 참여한다. 이렇게 직접 이변 해결에 나설 때도 그녀는 자신의 목표나 속마음이 무엇인지 남들이 전혀 알 수 없게 하며, 남들에게 자신이 원하는 게 무엇인지 알려줄 때도 오히려 이해하지 못하는 경우가 더 많다. 때문에 환상향의 다른 인물들 사이에 그녀는 변덕쟁이, 거짓말쟁이에다가 속내를 알 수 없는 요괴로 알려지게 됐고, 많은 인물들은 그녀를 좋지 않게 여긴다. 하지만 무슨 연유에서인지 그녀는 자신에 대한 악평들을 부인하지 않으며, 자신이 선의에서 하는 모든 일들은 감추려고 애쓰는 모습도 보인다. 예컨대, 동방삼월정 ~ Strange and Bright Nature Deity 에서는 하쿠레이 신사에 기부했으면서도 이를 감추려는 모습이 보인다. 이는 동방맹월초 ~ Cage in Lunatic Runagate의 결말부에서 드러난 것처럼 그녀가 요괴로서 모두에게 공포감의 대상으로 남길 원하기 때문으로 보인다.
능력 및 힘
유카리는 환상향의 요괴들 중 최강급에 속한다. 이부키 스이카나 호시구마 유기 등 일부 요괴가 유카리와 비슷한 수준으로 여겨진다. 유카리는 와타츠키노 토요히메가 자신보다 더 강력하다며, 직접 대면하는 것을 꺼려한다.
유카리의 신체 능력은 요괴 수준이다. 일반적인 요괴의 힘이 구체적으로 어느 정도까지 강한지는 알려지지 않았지만, 대개 신체 능력이 매우 뛰어나므로 유카리의 힘도 인간보다 훨씬 강하다고 가늠할 수 있다. 유카리의 신체 능력을 보여주는 사례로는 다음이 있다.
- 동방향림당 제12화에서는 모리치카 린노스케가 온 힘을 다해 내려친 나무망치를 한 손으로 간단히 막아냈다.
- 동방비상천칙에서, 홍 메이링의 승리 대사 중 유카리를 쳤을 때의 느낌이 이상해, 마치 옷 속에 무언가를 껴입은 것 같다고 말하는 것이 있다.
동방췌몽상에서, 유카리의 승리 대사 중 자신은 약점이 없다거나, 쏘기, 베기, 찌르기, 치기, 죽이기 모두 자신에게는 소용없다고 말하는 것이 있다.[5] 동방구문사기 ~ Perfect Memento in Strict Sense에서는 유카리의 능력이 요괴가 가진 능력 중에서도 가장 위험한 능력이라고 서술한다. 동방영야초의 인물 설정에서도 유카리의 능력이 "원한다면 간단히 환상향을 부수는 것도 가능한 정도"[6]라고 쓰여 있고, 설명서에는 "능력의 위험성과 강력함을 짐작할 수 없다"고 쓰여 있다.[7]
By mostly moving around in gaps, one would usually not see her as doing much physical labour at all, and according to Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, since she ends up in blurting out herself such sayings like "to do mountain climbing at such an age", there is the image that she is like an indoors-type youkai, but in the end, she is still a youkai.
- 경계를 다루는 정도의 능력
유카리는 이 능력으로 경계가 있는 모든 존재를 다룰 수 있다. 60년마다 보라빛의 향기를 내는 꽃에서는 독백을 통해 자신의 능력으로 환상향이나 바깥 세계, 이승과 저승, 인간과 요괴, 밤과 낮을 비롯한 온갖 것들의 경계를 다룰 수 있다고 설명한다. [8] 유카리는 흔히 이 능력을 통해 공간의 "틈새"(すきま 스키마)를 만들어 이동통로로 쓰거나 틈새 위에 앉기도 한다. By manipulating borders in space and creating a chasm, she is able to link together separate places. According to this, she's able to show up in unexpected places from time to time, but the aforementioned suspiciousness has been refined. Although this gap is a kind of sub-space, within Yukari's gap, one can see a lot of eyes. These eyes are a manifestation of what one can say is the image of "how desires are swirling around" that Yukari sees in the outside world. The description of Yukari's Magic Eye "Laplace's Demon" spell card implies that Yukari can see using the eyes, as well. Also, although sign posts and other flotsam also drift about, these things also come from Yukari's image of "things that have come to be of no use in the outside world".
Other than that, since there is a boundary on the water surface so to speak, as there is definitely a distinction between water and atmosphere, and since there is the boundary called the horizon that separates the sky from the earth, as was said, she can freely manipulate the boundary of all existent things at will. According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it seems that not only are physical boundaries, but also the general idea of boundaries are also able to be manipulated, and it seems like she would be able to manipulate the boundary between dreams and reality and open up holes for people to enter into dreams. Yukari is also capable of seeing (and seeing through) boundaries that are normally invisible; when the Human Village was displaced from history by Keine Kamishirasawa, Yukari was still able to see it.[9].
It's shown that Yukari can also control the boundaries and bend them to her will as seen in Immaterial and Missing Power when she adjusted the sky by manipulating the border between the daylight and moonlight to unite the day and the night.[10] According to Marisa Kirisame, Yukari can even control the boundary between "a danmaku for play and a danmaku for battle".[11]
There are limits to the kinds of places Yukari can connect with her gaps; she required multiple trips to reach Heaven in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, while in Silent Sinner in Blue she could only create a gap to the Moon under highly specific circumstances (and had to travel much of the distance to the Lunar Capital on foot). She is, however, capable of travelling between Gensokyo and the Outside World. Yukari can create gaps through which only she can pass, or through which anything can pass.[12]
Ultimately, since existence of anything consists of having a boundary, for anything to lose its boundary is a very big thing, as it would then not be able to have its own individual existence. As the rules that govern boundaries would govern this, it is said that to make a new boundary is to create a new existence, and to destroy a boundary is to negate an existence. Hieda no Akyuu evaluated this ability, saying "there is not any sort of defence method nor countermeasure, a power comparable to the power of gods". However, Yukari is capable of sensing and repairing damage to the Great Hakurei Barrier, and is widely believed to have aided in its construction (Yuyuko Saigyouji states that Yukari could not have done so herself). To add to all this, Hieda no Akyuu writes that "manipulation of boundaries" is theoretically a godlike power which would allow Yukari to create or destroy anything, but that all the stories about it are impossible to confirm.[3]
능력의 용례:
- 진실과 거짓의 경계를 건드리고 호수에 비친 달을 통해 달에 침략했다. (환상월면전쟁소동, 동방맹월초 ~ Silent Sinner in Blue)
- 환상향 주변에 환상과 실체의 경계를 만들어 요괴들이 환상향에 모이도록 했다. (요괴확장계획)
- 명계와 현계의 경계가 옅어진 것을 유유코의 부탁으로 수리하기로 했다. (동방요요몽)
- 환상향의 결계가 느슨해져 바깥 세계에 떨어진 모리치카 린노스케를 환상향으로 돌려 보냈다. (동방향림당 ~ Curiosities of Lotus Asia)
- Many of her Spell Cards allude to various circumstances involving boundary manipulation, such as: Barrier "Balance of Motion and Stillness", Barrier "Mesh of Light and Darkness", "Boundary of Humans and Youkai", between many others.
- Onmyoudou
Yukari is skilled in Onmyoudou, the Taoism-derived arts of traditional Japanese court wizards, and specialises in spells which create and manipulate barriers (presumably due to overlap with her innate abilities). Yukari has been able to teach some of her spells to Reimu Hakurei, whose own techniques have similar roots.
Yukari also displays great aptitude with shikigami, binding a powerful kitsune and numerous lesser servants at once. As Shikigami are strongest when following orders, Yukari must also be skilled at giving the correct orders to fully maximize her shikigamis' potential. In an interview with Aya Shameimaru, Ran Yakumo states that despite sleeping most of the time, Yukari is capable of giving orders no one else would think up the instant she opens her mouth, and Yukari uses complex equations to increase Ran's power indefinitely (This manner of using shikigami is likely one of the reasons Yukari views computers and shikigami as one and the same).
배경 설정
동방구문사기 ~ Perfect Memento in Strict Sense에 의하면, 1,200년 전에 편찬된 환상향연기 아이치 저의 요괴록에도 유카리와 같은 요괴가 등장했지만, 당시에는 "야쿠모 유카리"라 불리지 않았다.[3]. It is believed she chose this name for herself, the name "Yukari" signifying that she was a youkai of boundaries, and the name "Yakumo" from a poem about creating a great fenced mansion where one can live a peaceful life in seclusion, and a strong fortress to keep the gods trapped inside.[13] This land would be Gensokyo.
사이교우 아야카시
Over a thousand years ago, Yukari met and became friends with a human girl named Yuyuko Saigyouji. Over time, Yuyuko was driven to suicide out of despair over her ability to control death. After Yuyuko died, her body was used to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi, a youkai tree which drained the lives of too many humans, by an unknown individual who hoped Yuyuko would never have to suffer and experience pain again. The seal was created as the boundary between life and death. Yukari continued to be friends with Yuyuko's ghost, although Yuyuko gradually forgot who she had been and why she had died[14].
It is not stated who sealed the Saigyou Ayakashi. It was someone who held Yuyuko very dear, judging by the record ("My wish... is that she will never again reincarnate, and never again suffer pain..."). Yuyuko's profile describes the hypothetical breaking of the seal as "breaching the boundary". The boundary sealing the Saigyou Ayakashi is apparently the boundary between life and death, as this is what the BGM that plays during the Saigyou Ayakashi's reflowering represents. Boundary of Life and Death is one of Yukari's spell cards. This possibly implies it was Yukari who sealed the Saigyou Ayakashi. Yukari's profile reveals she knew all along that Yuyuko's body was sealing it, and gives a clear motive, as the tree was killing too many humans. As another possible indication, The Grimoire of Marisa brings up the butterfly dream regarding Yuyuko's spell card during the Saigyou Ayakashi's reflowering, which is a theme associated with Yukari.
One day, Yuyuko requested that Yukari use her power to repair the border between the Netherworld and Gensokyo. Yukari sleepily set off to do so. She had known Yuyuko's plan to make the Saigyou Ayakashi bloom could never succeed, but was too busy sleeping to say or do anything about it, or to put the border back to normal after everything was finished, which put her on a collision course with the heroines of Perfect Cherry Blossom.
월면전쟁
Also over a thousand years ago, the youkai now named Yukari Yakumo[15] organized an army of youkai and led them in an invasion of the Moon, of which Yuyuko was also present for[16][15]. Publicly, Yukari states the invasion was to take the Lunarians' source of power, an infinite energy source which let them play all day.[17]
However, the youkai were subsequently routed by the Lunarians, who possessed superior technology and magic, and forced to retreat to Earth. While Yukari claims she organized the invasion out of desire for that power, her true purpose may be that she did it to teach the youkai a lesson about starting wars of conquest; namely, that it was a bad idea, as since that time, no youkai have attempted to expand their territory beyond Gensokyo[3]
환상향의 결계
Since then, Yukari has had numerous roles in managing Gensokyo and the youkai. She authored a system of constellations for the youkai[18]. She enacted the Youkai Expansion Project 500 years ago by creating a border between illusion and reality around Gensokyo. She was one of several youkai who suggested the creation of the Great Hakurei Barrier 120 years ago and presumably was one of several that contributed to its creation.[3][19]
The Gensokyo Record in Perfect Cherry Blossom's prologue says that the original Gensokyo boundary (presumably the first "boundary between inside and outside" mentioned in Yukari's Perfect Memento in Strict Sense article) was created by priests, but ZUN said in his e-mails that the Gensokyo Record is not reliable, and that only the long lived youkai knows the true history of Gensokyo. Hieda no Akyuu firmly believes Yukari was involved and Curiosities of Lotus Asia Chapter 26's prologue states that Yukari being its actual creator is an ongoing rumor. According to Rinnosuke, Yukari's power is what separates Gensokyo from the outside world.
흡혈귀 이변
Regarding the vampire incident in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it is not stated who were the powerful youkai that defeated the vampire, who signed the contract with the vampire, or who was the one who wrote the original draft of the Spell Card rules that came afterwards (as it was also written on youkai contract paper, Hieda no Akyuu feels it wasn't the Shrine Maiden). However, the colophon at the end reveals that Yukari is the author of a work called "Vampire Pact". This possibly implies her involvement in at least one of these things (if not all three) in the fact that Yukari may've had been involved in the deal with the devil (presumably Remilia Scarlet).
On the related note to the contract, it's explicitly stated in her Perfect Cherry Blossom profile that she's the one responsible for outsiders ending up in Gensokyo, where most of them get devoured by youkai. Her involvement is made even more explicit in Chapter 14 of Wild and Horned Hermit, where Yukari reveals to Kasen Ibaraki that having the zashiki-warashi sent to the outside world takes precedence above keeping them in Gensokyo, and then cryptically comments, "Gensokyo's getting the food to fill the stomachs of all of its youkai from somewhere." This could further extend to an article on Symposium of Post-mysticism, where there were human bones near a well, but no human of Gensokyo was missing and Yukari made no reference to the outside world humans, calling it a "misunderstanding"; the bones later on disappeared.
Underground Agreement
She made a deal with certain youkai to allow them to have their own realm underground in Former Hell if they pacified the evil spirits there[20]. For a while, Yukari took it upon herself to make regular check-ups on various aspects of Gensokyo such as the Human Village or the barrier, but eventually took on Ran Yakumo as a shikigami and left such tasks to her.[21]

동방문화첩에서는 유카리가 자신의 식신인 야쿠모 란을 파라솔로 매질하는 것을 샤메이마루 아야가 보고 동물학대라고 말한다. 유카리는 란을 훈육하는 중이었다고 대답하며 란은 식신이기 때문에 더 이상 짐승이나 동물이 아니라고 대답한다. 유카리는 분분마루 신문이 형편없다고 말하고 아야도 식신으로 만들어 주겠다고 하자, 아야는 이를 거절한다.
- 동방구문사기 ~ Perfect Memento in Strict Sense
Yukari edited Perfect Memento in Strict Sense and was one of its major sources, according to Memorizable Gensokyo, yet did not confirm her involvement in the above events. One common thread regarding them seems to be that they primarily benefited humans, not youkai (the vampire contract even went so overboard towards protecting humans that youkai complained to the shrine maiden). In addition to this, she has her own in-universe article that provides encyclopaedic information about her.
- 동방맹월초
Ran Yakumo tells Remilia Scarlet in Silent Sinner in Blue chapter 3 that Yukari invaded the moon to procure its secret of power to improve the youkai quality of life. This is probably the official reason Yukari gave all youkai for the war, as otherwise, Remilia could confirm Ran was lying just by asking around. However, privately, in Cage in Lunatic Runagate Chapter 5, Yukari reveals to Ran that she knew it was impossible for the beings of Earth to ever win a direct confrontation against the Lunarians. It is never stated when Yukari made this realization, so it is possible she knew this even before the first Genso-Lunar War. In addition, The last chapter of Cage in Lunatic Runagate has the line, "While it was Yukari who led the invasion that had convincingly failed more than one thousand years ago,". The word "convincingly" could imply it was staged. If this was the case, then presumably the outcome where youkai decided to stop expanding beyond Gensokyo was Yukari's true intent.
- 동방자가선 ~ Wild and Horned Hermit
<요약문>
- 동방구문구수 ~ Symposium of Post-mysticism
Back in 1984, Aya Shameimaru reports that during Gensokyo's winter, children were finding skeletal remains of a human while playing around a dried-up well, to which it ended up that the well was declared to be off-limits. Apparently, a tsurube-otoshi youkai (presumably Kisume) came out of well saying "So is THIS the body you dropped down here?" and threw the bones at them. There were no-one missing, so for who the bones belong to is a mystery.
The bones disappeared while no-one was looking during preparations to bury it in Muenzuka. This rolled onto a case whether there was any sort of incident or not, along with the identity of the previous owner of the bones. Yukari though it was by the youkai from the Underworld and that they wanted to scare the humans since their powers come from the negative energy of humans, but it may've been a simple misunderstanding. There was a non-intervention agreement pact made between the underworld youkai and the surface, so the situation could become complicated.
The incident was settled as silver birch branches have been mistaken for bones, to which no ominous occurrences had happened at the Human Village. At a later date, it was confirmed that the dried-up well was filled in with dirt; who did this is unknown.
바깥 세계와의 연관성
관계
Using her gap to travel accross Gensokyo, despite sleeping a lot, Yukari has encountered many youkai and humans in the Touhou Project. By many residents of Gensokyo, she is commonly referred to as the "Gap Youkai" when she's involved in a conversation.
레이무와 마리사
Yukari has always had a close tie to the Hakurei Shrine maidens, as one meaning of her name is she controls the Shrine Maidens of Gensokyo. Reimu Hakurei, along with Marisa Kirisame, first met Yukari when she asked her to repair the border between the Netherworld and Gensokyo in Perfect Cherry Blossom. However, Yukari indicated she is already familiar with Reimu and Marisa to an unspecified extent. With Marisa, it resulted in Yukari playing a prank on her by keeping her up way past bedtime.
As a friend, she often visits Reimu at the Hakurei Shrine and often drops by Marisa's house randomly, to which in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense Marisa complains that Yukari never uses the door. Yukari steals food from Reimu in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, stays at Reimu's shrine for at least a month into the winter in Curiosities of Lotus Asia, and is among several characters when Reimu complains about youkai visitors to her shrine in Wild and Horned Hermit. She sometimes visits to discuss philosophical matters like in Seasonal Dream Vision, or Strange and Bright Nature Deity where she gave Reimu out-of-season taro roots from the outside world, asking her to think about their meaning.
As an employer, she's given Reimu several missions in Subterranean Animism, Imperishable Night and Silent Sinner in Blue. An offhand comment in the first stage of Imperishable Night shows she compensated Reimu for it.
As a mentor, she is often teaching Reimu not just about Gensokyo (she does that a lot, too, shown several times in Oriental Sacred Place) but also how to do her job as Shrine Maiden. She shows up when Reimu purposefully damages the barrier in Curiosities of Lotus Asia to tell her not to do that, reminds Reimu of her youkai-crushing duties in Imperishable Night's extra, and makes Reimu train hard to prepare for Silent Sinner in Blue (Curiosities of Lotus Asia states the latter is rare for her). The latter included Yukari attacking Reimu at unannounced times.
She seems to be secretly looking after Reimu in other ways, as she sneaks yen donations into the Hakurei Shrine's donation offering box when Reimu isn't looking in chapter 23 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity. Like most characters, Reimu finds Yukari extremely annoying. Yukari doesn't mind, clearly joking "How rude!" or "What a greeting!" to such things. In the case of Seasonal Dream Vision for Marisa, she got angry over Yukari's random visit, but it was because Yukari was curious as to Marisa's thoughts on the matter regarding the flower incident, so presumably many of Yukari's other visits to Marisa are for her own amusement, as well.
식신
란은 유카리의 식신이다. Yukari gave Ran her current name. An interview in 동방문화첩 ~ Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red with Aya Shameimaru implies Ran came to be Yukari's shikigami because of all the power it promised, and is quite satisfied with the result despite losing her freedom. Ran was not born before the Genso-Lunar War, so she must have become Yukari's shikigami sometime after that.
Yukari keeps the relationship on a user-to-shikigami level. This relationship is analogous to a user and its computer in the outside world, and Yukari insists heavily that Ran is not a fox, but is a tool to be used. Yukari's own thoughts and perspective in Chapter Five of Cage in Lunatic Runagate refers to Ran with computer terms, such as programming or debugging. Ran is still more advanced than a computer, so Yukari attempts philosophical discussion with Ran from time to time, but typically gets boring responses involving numbers and calculations. Yukari loves Ran very much, but in terms of how one would love a tool they own.
Ran often "forgets" she is a shikigami, taking matters into her own hands without Yukari's orders. This can't be helped because Yukari sleeps a lot. Yukari will physically discipline Ran when this happens (by whacking her with an umbrella). Using a tool and keeping it in good shape (via discipline) shows love for your shikigami (according to Yukari).
Ran accepts and seems satisfied with this, and also seems to care for her master, attempting to encourage Yukari after the second Genso-Lunar War failed. But she won't disagree that her master is annoying and is often driven to much frustration by Yukari's double-speak and secrecy.
야쿠모 란의 식신으로, 첸은 유카리를 믿고 따른다. 란은 첸을 식신으로 대하지만 유카리는 첸을 식신이면서도 그녀의 애완동물인 것처럼 취급하곤 한다 (예컨대, 동방지령전에서는 자신의 고양이가 어디로 갔나 묻는 대사도 있었다).
란과는 달리 첸은 야쿠모 첸이라고 불리지 않는다.
명계
유카리와 유유코의 관계는 유유코가 천수백년 전 인간으로 살아 있었을 적까지 거슬러 올라가는 것으로 보인다. 유유코가 죽고 망령으로 살아가는 동안에도 유카리와 유유코의 관계는 지속됐다.
동방프로젝트 내 인물들 중에서는 오직 유유코만이 정말로 유카리의 속내를 이해할 수 있는 듯. 유카리 역시 이를 알고 있으며, 가끔 가다 췌몽상이나 비상천 따위의 격투 게임에서의 대사들을 보면 알 수 있듯이 그녀는 유유코가 자신의 생각을 간파하고 있을 것이라 지레짐작하곤 하는 듯하다. 그러나 성격이나 행동상으로는 유유코와 유카리는 상당한 대조를 보이며, 유카리는 가끔 가다 유유코의 돌발적이거나 앞뒤가 안 맞는 듯한 행동에 놀라기도 한다.
유유코와 유카리와의 관계가 유카리의 식신 란에게까지 연장되는 건 아닌 듯한 모양.
요우무는 유유코의 호위 검객이지만 유카리는 가끔 가다 그녀에게 도움을 줄 때도 있는 듯. 예컨대, 동방비상천에서는 이변의 범인을 찾는 데 도움을 주기도 했다.

- ↑ 동방영야초 - Manual: The danger and potency of the power to manipulate boundaries is beyond imagination. It's something that can only be controlled by those who are able to withstand its stress, or some weirdo youkai like Yukari.
- ↑ 60년마다 보라빛의 향기를 내는 꽃 - 유카리: I'm a youkai with the ability to control the boundaries between any and all things. This power allows me to remove the boundary between anything: Gensokyo and the outside world, the worlds of the living and the dead, humans and youkai, even day and night.
- ↑ Imperishable Night Stage 3 - "Hey hey. I do see the humans as usual though. A deception of this level isn't useful at all, is it?"
