I've been meaning to get to these calc evaluated for a couple of months now. Foul Detective Satori (a manga written by ZUN) has shown some decent feats for several characters that might be relevant for future CRTs. Thing is, I can't do calcs to save my life. I'll provide material from FDS as well as page and chapter sources, any and all help is greatly appreciated. Links to the sourced images will also be provided via M*ngaDex for translated chapters, and Comic-Walker for raw scans of the newest chapter as of creating this post. Without further ado, some of the feats in sequence;

Okuu blows up part of the Ancient City

In Chapter 37, Reimu ventures down into Old Hell to hunt Mizuchi and stop her once and for all. During her battle with the local youkai, she causes enough chaos to draw Okuu's attention and they both duke it out. This causes some collateral damage in the form of throwing a sun, as seen here:

Geyser Center explodes

In Chapter 38, the Geyser Center explodes as a result of Reimu and Okuu's battle. It turns out Mizuchi was on the surface the whole time, unbenownst to Reimu who's now fighting Okuu. We see several scans of the erupting geyser and the region surrounding it in the same chapter.

Edit: It's also worth noting the explosion was large enough to cause a Gensokyo-wide earthquake and throw flaming meteors down to Genbu Ravine, both of which caused some major structural damage. Scans on that soon.

Okuu sends Reimu cratering into the ground

In Chapter 39, Reimu and Okuu continue to fight and fly to the surface during their duel. Reimu gets knocked down into a crater from one of Okuu's blows, pretty straightforward.

Okuu creates a massive sun in Gensokyo's sky

Note that these are fresh scans from the newly released Chapter 40, which isn't translated yet. The important thing to note is that Reimu and Okuu's fight ends after this attack.

Unrelated but a bit related, I remember once, like 6 months or a year ago that I saw a video pitting a bunch of retro 8-bit characters against each other. I think it was Mario, Link, Castlevania guy and uhhh MegaMan I think. He only used feats from their 8-bits era.

Anyways, Mario stomped hard because the guy from the video calculated Mario tanking those angry suns that are around the size of Mario to be... City level. A sun that small being city level??? Like, it's literally around the size of Mario, smaller than him, pretty sure, shouldn't that just be like uh... Car level? Either way I found the calc inflated, but Mario is more goated than those 3 guys so I wasn't salty for more than a day.

So what I am getting into, isn't there a way to calculate how much energy is needed to create a small star around the small size of Utsuho's stars? Like, there's a way to calculate the size of small black holes and they're like uhhh planet to star level if I remember well. I wonder how strong Utsuho's star creation calc is compared to Mario's angry suns? I mean, her size puts them to shame, they're like, the size of a tornado. That's a pretty big. Utsuho looks like a toy car in comparison to the size of her stars. That's pretty big. Now that I think about it, if creating a star the size of Mario's angry suns is city level then Utsuho's stars should be way higher. I retract my previous statement.
 
Updating the OP in several hours. More material on Geyser Center's explosion size and the Gensokyo-wide earthquake that precedes it.

Will this result in Reimu directly getting scaling from Utsuho or vice versa or not?
Seeing Reimu get pushed back and weakened is pretty rare. Okuu is likely to receive reinforced AP justifications from this.

As for Reimu, not sure yet. She’s fighting a Mizuchi-possessed Okuu in the coming chapters right after being weakened from her fight with Okuu, and we’re not entirely sure what that will entail yet in terms of a battle. It’ll be interesting for sure though. The manga is still ongoing after all.

Beyond that, I think there’s already enough merit to Reimu being a high tier if it wasn’t plainly obvious already. Solving incidents across 19+ games is pretty noteworthy when she has wins from Yukari, Junko, Lunarians, and several gods under her belt.
