It's possible that as Reimu faced her ancestors failings, apologised meaningfully and treated Mizuchi as a person after defeating her that she's legitimately calming down.
All those years of anger had an outlet and she's ready to move on with her unlife.
I wonder if that means she will become a different spirit type or just an unvengeful spirit.

Tojiko used to be a vengeful spirit, and now she's just a ghost; Mizuchi could go the same way.
It's pretty obvious that Sekibanki is possessed here, right?
Naturally we never got more dialogue of her until just now, but TH14 Sekibanki and this chapter's Sekibanki seem like two completely different people, even if we ignore what's drawn and look at just her dialogue here.
Unless this is how ZUN always wanted her to act and never got it across in the game back then.

Imagine if Mizuchi sealed all her wickedness and stored them on her legs. The evil Mizuchi's legs now walks around possessing people. Once they find the legs, she can merge into the true Mizuchi and we get a boss fight.
Oh wait, wrong manga.

She was under the influence of the Miracle Mallet in DDC, along with the other youkai you fight at the start of that game.
Fair point. It is hard to take her dialogue at face value, however her profile also said:
"Her personality is slightly prideful, and she's recalcitrant towards both humans and youkai.
It seems she takes a somewhat cynical view of things."
Specifically using "プライド" for "prideful" but the japanese also like using the word in lieu of "self-worth" or "dignity", though here it might be literal. Then "打ち解けない" which is the negative form of "becoming unreserved/to lower one's guard/to open up".
And cynical is straight forward: "斜に構えて".
So I always took her as a kind of a kuudere, so it was odd seeing her act this way.
Guess we'll see soon!
I forgot about her, it seems likely then.

What if Tojiko is a special case in that she also has the shikaisen resurrection thing going on?
So once her grudge is gone, she technically is still anchored to the world through the shikaisen? That explains why she hasn't disappeared and moved on.

Nah, the whole reason Tojiko became a vengeful spirit was cuz her shikaisen was sabotaged (replaced with a perishable object) and when it succumbed to the passage of time it took her with it, iirc.
Inb4 the entire arc is Mizuchi continuing her revenge not by attacking Reimu directly but by ruining the Hakurei's image in the eyes of the villagers, just like the Hakurei did to her own. She intentionally split her essence (which also divided her psyche) to have the naughty one cause more chaos, which would force Reimu to keep one of them on a short leash, which makes her entire shrine sus to Gensokyo.
If this continues, Mizuchi's revenge is well in hand. She can just sit on her ass and be cute with Shinmyoumaru and win.
