Thought I'd give this one another shot before I dropped it.

Any thoughts or opinions would be welcome, otherwise I'll just let the matter drop.

Hi, this is an old one but I'll chime in anyway.

Whether or not she's a Villainous Underdog depends on how powerful she is personally. If there's literally only one thing in existence that can defeat her, it sounds like she's not an underdog. I'm guessing her plan involved Miriam never getting her hands on that sword, which suggets she's more powerful than the hero all around but there's this ONE thing that she's weak to. That doesn't make her an underdog anymore than the appearance of Kryptonite makes Superman an underdog.

Why Bigfoot couldn't explain that to you without being rude about it is a riddle for the ages.

We should call that Bigfoot troper here.

^^ My argument though is that it’s not like Kryptonite at all, because Zangetsu is a samurai whose powers largely come from his sword.

As I argued to Sasquatch, if the villain’s only weakness is a Green Lantern Ring, the very thing that meakes one Green Lantern, and that villain spends the entire story running from him while menacing all the other character that aren't a threat, then that sounds like an underdog to me, personally.
