I think Miko is interested in taking over Gensoukyou, though? Just not immediately
She's interested in gaining a fair bit of influence over gensokyo, but she doesn't seem interested in taking it over, unless i'm missing some canonical material that says such an thing. I mean, if she really wanted to take over gensokyo, all she would need to do is wait for Reimu to go to sleep, have Seiga sneak into the shrine, have Yoshika bit her and turn her into a zombie. Bam, now reimu is her slave, but she hasn't done that, infact she thinks that Seiga might cause problems down the line eventually due to her bad behavior! Clearly she isn't that interested in taking over Gensokyo. That and she wouldn't use the spell card system, but she does. If anything she's probably more interested in just making the humans in genosokyo stronger, which isn't unreasonable as humans only have one small village to call home.

Also your forgetting that the time that Miko lived in was a terrible time for Japan, there was mass violence, rape, racism, misogyny, slavery, ect. Of course Miko doesn't have any regret for what she did, what she did was probably a good thing for japan.

I don't think holding Miko accountable for starting a religious war and making a mockery of her religion is at all unreasonable.
I can understand if your talking about she did back in the past. But there was no religious war in gensokyo. Just an religious slap fight, which byakuren is just as responsible for starting.

Why would Byakuren even consider trusting Miko?
I didn't say she should, i was simply pointing out that her motives for fighting miko were rather smug and selfish. Even if Miko is an "supervillain" that doesn't change the fact that she broke her own religions rules. And even then she still should have at least asked her what she was doing.

Also she helped Miko fight Hata no Kokoro. You'd think she'd understand miko better after that, but no, she didn't.

Also every one of you is forgetting that Miko was the first person to actually realize the danger that the occult balls were posing to gensokyo and try to take care of them for good instead of just hiding them somewhere and hoping that they'll go away. She's no saint, but that doesn't mean that she can't do some good things for gensokyo. Or that she's an supervillain 24/7.

I kinda figure the fairies would be the Orks, and the Lunarians to be the Eldar, but then who would be the Tau, The Tyranids, The Necrons, and Chaos?
Tau are Tengu. I was thinking the Tyranids would be the Fairies instead of the Orks, and the Oni would be them instead. But now i'm not sure. Don't know for the Necrons. And Chaos would be anyone who's an religious rival to Reimu, so Miko, Byakuren, Kanako, and probably any magician as well (Who isn't marisa.), also any youkai that doesn't fall in the above. Like Remilia (If she isn't an Dark Eldar/Lunarian).

Kanako = Tzeentch Suwako = Slaanesh Junko = Khorne Medicine Melancholy = Nurgle

Yukari would be Abaddon, but not an total failure, But then again she'd probably be more like Nagash in this AU. Not the undead part, i mean the "Wants to become a Chaos God" part.

Ah shit, i forgot that we decided that Miko would be the God Empress of Mankind. So nevermind on that. But i still stand by everything else. And Mala would be Sejia because fuck you GW he exists.

edit:Now that i think about it, Ran would better a better suit for Abaddon then Yukari, who would be Horus. And Seiga would be an good Callidus Temple Asassin. Youmu probably being an Culexus Temple one.

FINAL EDIT: And it would be the Adeptus Ares or something like that instead of Astartes. Because its full of Women instead of Men. Get it? (Mokou as an space marine, imagine that.)

In SOPM, Miko has expressed desire to take control over the human village. Though it is not like eternal rule, she intents to elevate human's status in Gensokyo under her influence, and then wait until someone is able to overthrow her, after which she retreats somewhere to try to become a Celestial.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

Well, there's sympathy, and then there's saying, "She's right and I would support her in real life." I don't think sympathizing is bad.

"Intend to rule until overthrown" is functionally identical to "Intend to rule eternally"

Well, clearly she doesn't have any problem with being overthrown. Which is odd. Also you guys are forgetting that she's actually rather nice to her enemy's (compared to how they treat her, anyways).

Not to mention she did help solve the U Li L incident. That's gotta count for something.

Well, so was Mamizou and Kasen since they were trying to deal with Sumireko. Everyone else was too busy swallowed by their balls.

Correction: Her and Mamizou and Kasen were the only sensible ones there.

Byakuren isn't that bad, at least she isn't as hypocritical as Big Boss from the MGS games.............O_O.

Miko is very friendly and perhaps charming. She's great.

I tried finding a Touhou/40K crossover pic using Toyosatomimi no Miko as the God-Emperor of Mankind but Danbooru has failed me.

WHAT

...that genuinely surprised me! surprised I was prepared to immediately receive like 10 links to Miko-Emperor pics that were already made like 6 years ago. That's normally what happens when I post what I thought was an original idea tongue

But there was no religious war in gensokyo. Just an religious slap fight

Haha! evil grin[tup] I shall hereby adopt that name for that Incident. The Religious Slap Fight. Perfect.

I meant how both characters are similar in that they both are hypocritical and selfish.

With how Miko is, I believe she legit thinks being ruled by her is a good thing. Which might be true. I'm not really familiar with Japanese history, but if the people liked Prince Shoutoku enough to deitify him, surely his rule wasn't all that bad.

Which kind of supports what Miko thinks of herself. She knows she is a capable ruler, and she's not afraid to show it off. And look, in So PM she decided that the Human Village doesn't need a leader, and backed off quickly (but still would totally take that offer). So it's not like she's a power hungry overlord, she just wants the best for humanity (which includes being ruled by her).

Miko is, in part, a friendlier version of Eirin, I think. In that they are both incredibly smart, and know it, and have a habit of being condescending to lesser intellects, which in their eyes is everyone else.

Miko is incredibly respectful to Kasen, enough to make her uncomfortable. I think that's interesting.

#133147: May 5th 2016 at 7:45:51 AM

[up] Indeed! And a great scene it is. Miko treats Kasen like a celebrity guru!

(...which everyone should, btw. Cause Kasen knows where it's at. Nitori also immediately went to Kasen when there was trouble with an animal, which I liked a lot. Good on you, people of Gensokyo, that you respectfully turn to the old-and-experienced experts with superpowers! Instead of bein' like most people in, for example, the Marvel Universe...)

Kasen's good at being a fraud, though. Then again, the hermits in Gensokyo are rather terrible overall, so she comes out as decent comparatively. Then there's Reimu...
