That's actually fairly common for Shou's characterization. Shou's major contribution to the plotline, aside from being the strongest of Byakuren's followers, is to lose the pagoda, and send Nazrin in after it. In fact, for Nazrin's power to have a purpose, it pretty much requires that Shou frequently lose things she needs so Nazrin can be sent in after it. Hence, dojikko Shou.

Of course, how flanderized it will get remains to be seen... Yuyuko was a brilliant strategist who just made a long series of food-related metaphors in a row because she liked being inscrutable, and that somehow turned into "Black Hole Yuyuko, Eater of Worlds".

Well, there's the fact that most of us didn't really get the "inscrutable strategist" part and instead saw her talk about eating everything for her ENTIRE IN storyline.

Yuyuko also spends the entirity of IaMP talking about her "new tea", which is something that makes utterly no sense to the player or anyone else besides Yukari and (at least to some extent) Remilia, who enjoys putting on a mask, herself.

Yuyuko knew what was going on with Suika the whole time, but couldn't fight Suika when she was just a mist, so she needed to get Yukari, who's "tea's scent doesn't fade" because she can put a boundary on it, and contain the scent/mist down into regular person form. She just talked about tea to be purposefully obtuse, especially because she just plain enjoys confusing the hell out of Youmu.

....I really pity poor Youmu now. And the rest of the Servant Brigade, for that matter. I think we know the REAL reason Youki isn't at Hakugyokurou anymore.

I think this entire chapter is referencing Super Robot Wars on a whole. Murasa is looking KINDA MINAse Daitetsu there (Point in reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr9zxUXSho8 (Initial image versus 2:21 onwards)

What's really bad is that Yuyuko went around beating up everyone to disturb Suika's manipulations, so that it would force Yukari to come out, starting with Youmu... The conversation can be boiled down to this:

Yuyuko: "Youmu, I'm going out to solve the incident."
Youmu: "Oh, OK, I don't know what's going on, but good luck to you, then."
Yuyuko: "Youmu, you're my bodyguard, right?"
Youmu: "Uh, sorry?... I guess I'm going with you, then?"
Yuyuko: "Don't you know it's your job to prevent others from going out, as well as preventing people from coming in?"
Youmu: "... Then I'm staying here, right?... HEY WAIT! AAAAH! MOMMY, WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME?! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID, BUT I'M SORRY!"
YOUMU DEFEATED
Yuyuko: "Keep up the good work! I'll fight you again when I get back."
Youmu: "*sob* *sob* WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!"

Shou IS Dojikko in almost every fanon. The dojikko-ness even almost canon.
