Pool description says:
Reaction Faces are "...images or animated gifs of faces that are meant to portray a specific emotion in response to something that has been said or done. They are commonly used in discussion threads in a similar fashion to emoticons..." [Know Your Meme]

Another thing to note, it must be funny as hell.

I for one could see several uses for this image. Mainly as a flabbergasted/"what the hell" reaction to other comments, for example.

What I wanted to know is that how would this warrant the "Reaction Faces" pool, if there's a hint that Youmu's expression here is because something happened then it should be in the pool, but I see no indication of what let Youmu make an expression like this here.
Even if that shouldn't be the case, compared to other posts in the pool her expression doesn't look too exaggerated, which I think should be the main point of the pool.

The point of a reaction face is that it can be used in a fairly wide range of situations. Showing exactly what is surprising Youmu in this instance would severely limit its usefulness in an image board.

This, however, is a good point. This reaction is indeed more subdued than most of the other images in the pool, so I can see where you're coming from. I guess it comes down to personal preference. I think this Youmu's face is expressive enough to make the cut, if only because there are other faces less deserving than this one in the pool already.
