Most magicians can beat accelerator, just not in the To Aru universe because their magic is indirect and weird and has vectors and shit.

So far ZUN has said Yukari is capable of manipulating boundaries. ZUN has said that 'everything' has a boundaries.
>As you know, everything is built upon the existence of boundaries.
>Thus, the ability to manipulate boundaries is an ability of logical creation and destruction.
>It's said that this ability is not limited to physical space, but also applies to pictures, others' dreams, and even stories.
>In any case, there is not a single defense against or weak point in the ability to manipulate boundaries.
>Among the abilities youkai are known to possess, this is one of the most dangerous, being comparable even to the power of gods.
http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Perfect_Memento:_Yukari_Yakumo

This essentially means Yukari has the ability to manipulate everything. Be it the border between life & death, night & day, past & future, or fantasy & reality. The time, concentration, distance, energy, and resources Yukari needs to manipulate the aforementioned boundaries are mere speculation. However, like most youkai, Yukari is weak against shinto/buddha chants and enchanted items. Meaning, even a 7 year girl could defeat Yukari (assuming she had access to Yukari's krytonite).

If you've read the link posted above it also says Yukari was able to create an entire world. Every event that occurs in the games takes place in a world Yukari created:
>The project refers to a plan designed and implemented by Yukari in order to restore power to the youkai of Gensokyo, who felt pressured by human expansion.
>Until then Gensokyo was merely an isolated mountain place, but she planned to create the boundary between illusion and reality around Gensokyo, thus logically creating a new world.

-Defeated Yuuka, who's said to be one of the strongest youkai.
-Went into Makai and beat up legions of youkai.
-Walked into the Scarlet Devil Mansion and defeated Remilia.

If Accelerator got taught how to exorcise evil spirits (-->youkai), he'd be able to defeat anybody in the Touhouverse. Reimu is just a normal girl in her mid-teens (according to ZUN), and she managed to beat everybody. Touhou fans tend to overlook the youkais' kryptonite to holy attacks.

Yukari didn't "create" a new world just because Akyuu worded it like that. In reality, she separated the Gensokyo from the outside world. It's still the same place and people can go inside/outside as the please.

Had it not been for the mock battles that humans agreed to go along with, the youkai would have went extinct. You don't have to be Accelerator to defeat youkai, all you need is their kryptonite.

You are semi-correct. They might not need Gensokyo to live per se, but they DO need Gensokyo to survive. This was discussed in detail in this >>5507536 thread. I'll give you a short summary. Yukari said the moon is the mother of youkai. The shadows that were created by the moon created fear and the fear created youkai. To deal with the fear, youkai exterminators were brought in. The fear of youkai disappeared and the days of humans believing in magic had faded.

Youkai might be stronger than humans, or as ZUN put it: infinitely stronger, but youkai can NOT defeat youkai exterminators. Keep in mind that humans don't even need to fight youkai in order to defeat them. For instance, forest faeries like Cirno would die instantly if a) humans exorcised the forest or b) stopped believing in the forest. That's just how things work with youkai. Accelerator could exploit their various weaknesses and win with ease.

ZUN said that our human mortality is the result of our impure Earth. A sage who wanted to live forever started a 'pure' civilization on the moon that allowed its inhabitants to live forever (under the condition that they stayed pure) [1].

The sage feared an invasion from the (ever advancing) humans that he left behind on Earth. In order to keep said humans in check, the Lunarians invented youkai -- with the sole purpose of making the Earth more impure [2]. As time went on brave humans were sent out to exterminate youkai resulting in the advent of the Hakurei barrier. As the times changed, Earth was no longer a suitable habitat for lower level youkai. A youkai named Yukari became concerned with the humans' ever advancing influence and decided to create a world for youkai in a region known as Gensokyo [3].

In an attempt to increase the quality of life in Gensokyo, Yukari cooked up a plan to secure the Lunarians' paramount invention that granted them a limitless supply of energy. The plan ended in failure because there weren't enough strong youkai back in those times [4]. Yukari would later go on to breakdown the boundaries between humans and youkai. For reasons yet to be specified [5].

Call it grimdark or "lol powerlevels" if you want, but a Touhou anime with a blend of taking it easy and 'serious' battles would be god tier. And by battles I'm not talking about that uber gay Nanoha battle from the Touhou fanime. Nor am I talking about the nonchalant battles of SSiB. If SSiB was made into an anime it would be a comedy at best.

Unless there's blood, the viewers will never take the battles seriously.

Its might not necessarily be that Akyu is being a terrible scholar by accident. Remember she is in leagues with Keine and Yukari who are trying to keep the fragile balance in Gensyoko. So trying to keep the fear of youkai alive by exaggerating facts might help keeping Gensyoko from collapsing since the weakening or the downright genocide of Youkai would lead to its collapse.

Eirin has killed before, and ZUN said by definition a youkai is only a youkai if they eat humans. If you've read the dialogue in the games, many youkai tell Reimu they want to kill/taste her. If SSiB was more grimdark I might have enjoyed that terrible battle arc it had.

From reading this thread its pretty clear the Akyu is exaggerating a shit load of details, which is kind of obvious since she says so herself. However, Yukari, Remilia, Suika, and some of the more prominent figures in Gensyoko have been shown to be unbelievable powerhouses by other sources of canon.

How can you hide massive army movements on it? Someone would've noticed.

What if someone told misinterpreted Armstrong's walk as a 'human advance', and then that someone told Reisen that 'humans were advancing', causing Reisen to flee? That would make Cutejudge's words correct (as she and her mirror are incapable of lying, I presume) and still sticks to the 'official' story.

This means that most of those rabbits participated in the last war since they know Reisen.
I also believe that they couldn't recruit many new moon rabbits because of the unrest in the moon capital.

Accelerator is just a (silver haired) shonen jump template. We've seen the "ultimate shield" archetype in various shows: Greed (Full Metal Alchemist), Byakuya (Bleach), and Gaara (Naruto). They are an evolution of the immortal/regenerator characters, such as: Piccolo/Cell/Buu (Dragonball Z), Albedo (Xenosaga), and Younger Toguro (YuYu Hakusho).

Yukari is truthfully in a league of her own because her powers and role in the plot are unique. We've seen Suika and Yuuka's powers before but we've never seen a character with the ability to manipulate boundaries. Nor have we ever seen a character with such power/influence playing the role of an anti-hero. Usually when you have characters in Yukari's position they're villains or Gods with egos. At first I assumed PMiSS must have been written by someone else. I never thought ZUN could create such a clever power. Now I will kindly save face by leaving to /a/ for sullying /jp/ with shonen jump speak.

How can Gensokyo be hidden from the outside world? The moon capital is just like Gensokyo.

I don't know if it has been explained, but you know that always the same side of the moon faces Earth. The moon capital could be on the other side (and invisible).
You don't see the sea of Tranquility filled with real water or the peach trees from Earth.

As you know, moon rabbits can communicate with each other over huge distances. Reisen knows what happened in the war because of what other rabbits told her. She keeps contact with them even now.

On average, youkai are physically stronger and smarter than humans but with the correct amount of training a human can exorcise a youkai. In such battles it would not come down to their powers but their brains. If a human catches a youkai in a trap or finds out a way to negate the youkai's existence by exorcising the youkai's origin, the human will be the victor. On the other hand, if a human attempts to fight a youkai without a plan, said human wont stand a chance in direct (hand-to-hand) combat.
