Also a few points I wanted to ask about - Is Yukari really that powerful? Im not a huge touhou fan so havnt read THAT much - but I got the impression Reimu pretty much kicks everyone elses ass but here she seems to be loosing to Yukari - who is a gap youkai yes?, even tho Reimu beats gods up etc? I couldnt find much info on the characters relative strengths.
Yukari and Yuyuko are suppose to be one of the most powerful yokai that have lived over a thousand years and since Yukari has the ability to control boundaries, she can manipulate tons of things.
Sometimes in fan works Yukari is shown to have known previous Hakurei mikos, long before she met Reimu.
So Reimu would certainly have a quite challenge, considering Yukari's experience fighting for so many years.
