Even as he was phasing through the paper bombs he was still falling, he needed to teleport in order to escape , and when Konan prevented that , he needed izanagi. This is one of the quirky / seemingly inconsistent parts about kamui. I mean, when he phases out, light still reflects off his body even though he is immaterial. And it seems gravity affects him. Which now means actually he can be affected by almighty pull and almighty push and chibaku tensei. He will need to teleport to escape those for good. But I think it doesn't change anything He's still affected by gravity when his intangibility is activated, because his body is still physically in our dimension. It's only when people try to strike him that they seem to go right through him, since any part of him that would be in contact them automatically phases to the Kamui dimension.

It's different when he entirely warps himself to the Kamui dimension or back; it's a slower process and he's seemingly not affected by either dimension's gravity until he's entirely out of his personal portal.
