Nah, that's Aya, Youmu doesn't reach sound breaking speed. . .at least from what I recall, her stuff is CUTTING EVERYTHING. . .except the main touhous powers, but supposedly they are cheaters or something =V (or Youmu fails to realize the spell card battles maybe nerfing her sword a lot.)

........ Somebody with too much time on his hands actually calculated how fast Youmu would have to go in order to live up to the name of her '200 yojana in a flash' spell card. It ended up being something like 1/4th the speed of light. So actually, Youmu is significantly faster than merely 'breaking the sound barrier'.

Kinda Reminds me of a grip I have, we always have fast characters and stuff some even reaching lightspeed but, when we'll have one that warp, slipstreams or something similar? and no, yukari gaps don't count, I want someone so fast it slipstreams or space jumps ala warp going FTL! Dammit Zun! Get Drunk enough to make a character like that!
And that reminds me of a grip that I have, people taking everything in the series way too literally or grasping at straws and interpreting the characters' powers turning them into goofy overpowered god-modders. That alone isn't what gets me though, its the fact people then believe these awkward depictions to be dogma and canon that has me channeling Lewis Black.
That "200 yojana in a flash" spellcard is just an embellished name. She's a full time servant/gardener in a place that probably isn't even that big, so I highly doubt she's ever even traveled 200 yojana let alone measured how fast she could do it.
