Well, damn. Was kind of hoping it was the samurai/wraith/yokai/whatever being forced to work at the shrine as penance like @Kyrozen suggested in post #5851458, but I guess this shows that it really is the original miko. May have won, but she really got chewed up in the process then.
It was a bit of a long shot with the hair/ribbon being the same, but one could have hoped.
I'd say any fight like that you can walk away from is a win... but with those bandages and the glowing red eye, I'm not sure she got out with her life, let alone her limbs. Almost looks like she got bisected at the waist. And yet, she still won. I kind of wish we had actually seen that fight, it must have been truly epic.
I'm sure I speak for a lot of us when I say, I hope we can see Mamiko turn back to normal eventually. How is she going to protect others from monsters if she herself is a monster now?

She won't turn back to normal. The pun is complete now. She is a mummy and a miko. A Mummyko. Mamiko.
