Kasen's arm opening move when fighting Reimu is try to punch her in the face with so much force she craters the ground and blows Reimu away with the aftershock. She then throws stone pillars at Reimu which definitely look like they could have hurt Reimu with how they hit the ground with Reimu managing to dodge them barely leaving her short of breath. And during the fight Reimu was trying to run away and trying to figure out how to escape. Finally Reimu goal in the fight wasn't to beat Kasen's oni self in a danmaku match but to reseal her arm with Kasen's arm goal being to avoid that fate.
Reimu literally teleported herself into hell on accident while asleep/Kasen (real) teleporting her, not having eaten anything and was sick basically and had to fight Kasen's arm as a result.
Regardless, who decides on if an attack would hurt her or not? You? Reimu got point blank blasted by Utsuho and made a big ass crater and tanked that, just by the feats shown it would not be beyond Reimu's capabilities to take something like that.
Reimu is only tossed around and not actually hurt at all in that fight, and she kind of just uses the skeleton pile as a way to build up energy.
Also, like, are you using Kasen being an issue as a thing against Reimu here? You do know that not only is Kasen a very strong Oni, but she's also one of Gensokyo's three sages, right?
Kasen literally wanted Reimu to seal her anyway, and basically just spooked her till Tenshi revealed Kasen's plan to get the arm sealed away while Reimu herself was literally unharmed.
(Reimu instantly proceeded to beat the arm when she had the fragment of the blade that Kasen was specifically weak to anyway.)
So, patently just wrong here, Kasen (real) and Reimu herself had no intention of killing anyone, only the Arm did and Reimu dealt with that just by dodging as she always did.

As Reimu fight with Utsuho the battle is never called a spell card duel only described as fight. Ustuho opening move in the fight was to crash in the ground causing a explosion the destroyed the nearby houses. Utsuho the drops a mini sun on the town below them destroying it even more. Utsuho also during the fight does not seem to try to dodge any of Reimu's danmaku just knocking them aside. She even flies up to Reimu and smacks her so hard she is launched to the ground and makes a small crater. And to end the fight Utsuho tries to drop this on Reimu.
Utsuho being absolutely destructive is a specific character trait, people comment on it, Reimu absolutely started that as a danmaku fight AND she was specifically following Yukari's plan instead of doing what she wanted.
If she was serious on taking Utsuho and co down instead of just trying to attract attention, she'd just pop Fantasy Nature and proceed to win, but clearly Yukari didnt want that so they could attract Mizuchi for whatever reason. (Also, Reimu obviously also doesn't want to kill anyone there, and even Utsuho is just extremely emptyheaded, not evil.)
Reimu's mental state is pivotal in her using her ability to the fullest, we've known this forever, Kasen's manga even lays it out where Reimu immediately ruins her good fortune due to her greed literally effecting it.
Even if she could use it against Utsuho she isn't really in her flow, and I guarantee if she tries to use it against Mizuchi here, Mizuchi would just reveal some of their past to throw her off before she can even enter it.

So even if this suppose to be a spell card duel it is clear that Utsuho has no care for the well being of Reimu or anyone else nearby. Utsuho even manages to knock herself out using that attack. With the attack leaving Reimu lying on the ground bleeding from her cheek. Surrounded by a barrier Yukari made to protect her. And as I said earlier Aya and Marisa who were watching from the sidelines thought Reimu most likely died in the attack. Even before it was launched Marisa was not confident Reimu would be fine taking a attack like that.
Utsuho knocked herself out cause shes a bird brain and uses too much power, she's visibly unharmed otherwise and basically just smudged and partly out of energy cause big boom.
Reimu not doing well can be as easy as her not trusting Yukari's plan much and thus she isn't 'going with the flow', which is a prerequisite for her to do insane shit like walk across a river without getting wet because fish went under her feet every step through 'luck'.

If it her attacks are outside of reality then they can't hurt Gojo for the same reason Gojo can't hurt her when she is using Fantasy Nature.
First of all, no, you don't get to decide that.
We know Reimu can be super ultra intangible in Fantasy Nature and also just attack people, every time she uses the thing we can see that, and Marisa herself notes Reimu can do it too.

Reimu becomes completely impossible to touch. She enters a visible "invisible man" state.
It's her ultimate secret technique, apparently, but it looks like she just closes her eyes while the danmaku fires itself towards the enemy automatically.
By the way, this wasn't even a Spell Card at first, but I gameified it by giving it a proper Spell Card name. Otherwise, there'd be no way to win.
This is the one single Spell Card that can only be used via the innate ability Reimu was born with. Hence the name "tensei (lit. innate from birth)".
So no, she'd be absolutely untouchable to Gojo while also firing attacks at him, whether those specific attacks hit him doesn't really matter though.
She doesnt need Fantasy Nature, she can just use a spell card like Duplex Barrier which literally turns space inside out and Reimu herself does have boundary powers.
Grimoire of Marisa said:
A Spell Card with a mysterious power that turns space inside-out. I'm jealous.
I indirectly asked Reimu about it, but it was pointless. Apparently, a barrier is a boundary line between things, and having two barriers on top of each other is equivalent to a world with no boundaries. If you can find the gaps in space that are hiding just about everywhere, you'll be able to set up a duplex barrier.
In other words, she's bad at explaining things.
Her being magnitudes faster makes it easier.
Reimu herself is also just an inherently weird individual who reality kind of just bends around, Sanae herself literally calls her unbound by space.
When shes in the flow of sorts, attacks literally swerve to miss her on their own and her 'intuition' is basically objective. Also, Reimu is stupidly good at barrier techniques and is capable of rapidly dismantling even extremely complex ones with ease. It is not impossible she could just do this to Infinity, provided it counts as a Barrier in Touhou rules atleast.
If anyone could just lmao Infinity on accident, its Reimu. Gojo is her inferior in literally every category besides H2H skill and regeneration anyway.
