It seems the yontengus’ creators made them innocents to make people like Julie hesitate to destroy them, or to torture them emotionally for having to do it. Like current bad actors hide their operations within hospitals and schools.
I wonder how each faction ages ago got a yontengu at the same time without collaborating on their creation. Either they did collaborate and then took their positions like a big game of Battling Tops, or some alien arms dealer provided the yontengus as weapons to each side in the war. That would explain why the yontengus seem designed for the cultures of Earth, if they were introduced on Earth first and reused on this planet.
Maybe they brought yontengu seeds along 😉
From what I’ve read, land-based cultures warred and fought, but not the way industrial growth cultures do. It was much more ritual and game-like and if, for example, land was seized from another, the land itself was respected and the winner assumed the responsibilities to the land the other nation had upheld. To contrast that to industrial growth cultures (so-called civilizations), since their emergence wars have been about absolute eradication of previous land-based existence and the enslavement of the peoples and the land, with extraction, extraction extraction in mind.
A lot to think about and consider in this story, one cannot choose straightly a side or a position…
