Well, all I have to say in regard to the church lady at the end... that was anti-climatic.
She really thought she was a bad ass, and everyone in the region agreed with that assessment.
But... she just ticked off an even bigger bad ass than she was.
And, yeah, I can agree in being pissed about Mia getting killed that way by Noriko.
Noriko, who wants to apologize to Junpei and make amends... just got even further into his shit list.
