I don't think I ever beat Mamizou, I didn't like how 13 played so I went back to the others fast. The super meter charged extremely slowly and if you made a mistake you had to spend ages re-building with power ups in that game. I don't know if it was he new circular health bars playing tricks on me but everything felt really spongey.
8, 10, 11 and 12 were the only ones I made it a point to beat extra with every character/shot formation. Most of the others I beat extra once or twice then stuck to the main game.

As for most difficult, when I was playing, people used to say Koishi was the most difficult one but I was pretty good at that. Meanwhile Nue has Undefined Darkness which I was always messing up. Raiko had that thing where she shakes the screen so you can't see, doesn't seem fair. I never fought Hecatia but I see most people saying she's the most difficult one.

13 definitely had a weirder system than many of the others. The two bomb per life system actually reduces your amount of outs and you get very little lives with TD's system too, only like 3 or 4. That's what makes Mamizou so hard since you only get 2 extra lives max, the least of all the Extras. And yeah, it does feel spongey too since I think everyone is just weaker in TD.
Outside of the last few attacks Nue was pretty easy to me. The first time I had to beat her twice because my game crashed after beating her the first time. You get a ton of resources if you abuse DDC's life system which makes Raiko more manageable. I actually think Sukuna's attacks are harder than Raiko's. Hecatia is cheesable with Reisen but she's really hard otherwise.

Ironically, despite being Phantasm, a level above the others, Yukari was actually on the easier end for me too.
