Are you going to take responsibility, Keine?

Oh don't worry about it, she cannot get pregnant.

So what is it then? Beer belly?

Pillow. A good prank to freak someone out.

I find it hilarious that the previous pic Mokou is a busty cheerleader

Does the elixir sterilize you? I see no reason why she shouldn't be able to get pregnant.

Depends how you interpret Hourai, but for some people, it keeps her body exactly the way it was when she drank it.
Of course, it's a bit hard to explain how her hair coloured white if her body is supposed to never change.
I'll say it's stress.

What the above said.

I've seen a few interpretations of immortality showing that after, living for a certain amount of time (usually longer than any average human was supposed to live), you sorta just...run out of eggs to be fertilized and thus remain sterile for the rest of your days.

Studies have already shown that after only a few decades, women are noticeably more likely to have children with birth defects arising from harmful mutations. Mokou has been around for centuries.

Those women age normally, though.

The Elixir has to correct for any genetic damage in real-time. Otherwise, Mokou's and Kaguya's bodies would be cancer-riddled masses with all the transcription errors. So if somatic mutations are corrected instantly, it stands to reason gametes enjoy the same treatment, for perfect fertility.

This is a complex discussion. Someone should ask ZUN.

I just can't believe someone is talking about Mokou's eggs of all things.

Welcome to Danbooru.

Actually, there were a few doujins that involved Mokou eggs of the much larger variety... (A play on the notion that she is a phoenix.)

And actually, ZUN does tend to talk about these sorts of strange, esoteric things in his spellcard descriptions or the canon books, so it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility that he might say something on the topic.

He approves of the ridiculous love the characters get.

Then all the more reason to ask him about this.

Given that women in real life have a finite number of eggs, that's entirely plausible.

Just some info forwhat it's worth, he, he...

I'm quoting from http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/27866

I know from other sources it is correct,and it was easier than typing it out myself...

"A baby girl is born with egg cells (oocytes) in her ovaries. Between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, the ovaries of a female fetus contain 6 to 7 million oocytes. Most of the oocytes gradually waste away, leaving about 1 to 2 million present at birth. None develop after birth. At puberty, only about 300,000 more than enough for a lifetime of fertility remain. Only a small percentage of oocytes mature into eggs. The many thousands of oocytes that do not mature degenerate. Degeneration progresses more rapidly in the 10 to 15 years before menopause. All are gone by menopause.

Only about 400 eggs are released during a woman's reproductive life, usually one during each menstrual cycle. Until released, an egg remains dormant in its follicle suspended in the middle of a cell division. Thus, the egg is one of the longest-lived cells in the body. Because a dormant egg cannot perform the usual cellular repair processes, the opportunity for damage increases as a woman ages. A chromosomal or genetic abnormality is thus more likely when a woman conceives a baby later in life.
