Meh. It never stopped them before; in the anime Leliel, Iruel, and Armisael 
can't be harmed by conventional means, but they beat THEM.  

Yep.
 

 Hey, are the Eva's going to travel to the GOOs, like they did with 

Ithaqua?  

They would almost have to. Most of these guys aren't exactly the moblest 
beings in creation; they can cross the light-years at FTL speeds, but once 
they get here they seem to be utterly incapable of moving around. 
 

They're just lazy.

 Because, as you may know, some of these Great Old Ones aren't found near 
 Japan.  Yig and Tsathoggua are buried under North America in K'n-Yan and 
 N'kai.  Yig's tomb in K'n-Yan is supposed to be under Oklahoma.  

Y'golonac's 

Actually, I beleive Oklahoma is where they initially found Atlach-Nacha. 
Remember the very first scene in COAEG 1, the part with the gratuitous Mythos 
author cameos?

Hai.
 

Plus keep in mind that SOMETHING has to be down in LCL Plant Main Line Number 
Three, strapped to an Elder Sign, giving up the LCL.

Unless they're using Shoggoths or Ubbo-Sathla....

That would be telling.
  

 Lastly (in this section at least), while Cthulhu is really cool and all, I 
 think that you really ought to place him before Nyarlathotep.  While he's 
 got a lot of name recognition, his power level much less than 
 Nyarlathotep's.  The biggest threat should come last.

Noooottttttt neccessarily....... 'Tep will be in his human form, remember; 
when he's human, Nyarlathotep's power is scaled wayyyyyyyyyy back, almost all 
the way to normal human levels. His only exceptional attribute then is his 
magic, and considering the books they've read, Fuyutsuki, Gendo, and Ritsuko 
would have no trouble countering him. Not that it'll likely come to that, 
but.......

Just a quick list of deaths of Nylarathotep's human form in CoC
games I have run:
   
Dynamite down his pants (I'm not kidding)
Run over by a madman driving a Bronco 4x4
Blown up by a Congregationalist minister with a bundle of grenades and
dynamite
Shot from 300 yards with an elephant gun
Accidentally killed by a monster he summoned
