It's not working for me tbh
The only one I even remotely care about is Julian.
Undoubtedly Sakura can't be saved. Literally she doesn't really exist anymore, just as a ghoul.
Shirou mercy-killing her is her best option. Unfortunate as it is.
This newest chapter plays up the Julian-Shirou parallels (Julian is very unselfish, can't comprehend that someone might like him, survived a disaster by luck and feels like he doesn't deserve it), so a Shirou vs Julian rematch feels more likely now. And there's gotta be a meeting between Shirou and Sakura, because Shirou is the only character Sakura has any real connection to. Tanaka is a puzzle piece that needs to be used, too. I'm excited to see how this all works out.
Wouldn't that apply to Angelica and Beatrice too?
Now that I've caught up... same thing.
I mean, I don't hate them so much anymore, but by now the old Type-Moon 'Look, we first set these characters up as insufferable over the top evil, dog kicking creeps, but now we want you feel for them. Feel bad for theeeeeem because idealiiiiiiiiists!!" switcheroo is getting stale and smelly of rancid fish. I'm literally just counting the time until the Crypters who are right now giddy over how genocidal they are going to be in their Lostbelts to come out with their own sob story on how tragic they are and how much they want to save everyone by first killing everyone, making rape faces, and insulting everyone opposing them because they are vermin or something.
You should just cut your losses and go for the Sakura in Illya's universe, Shirou. It's not like she has a chance with Blandirou anyway.Quote:

I really doubt Shirou is fighting again. His role is over, it's magical girl time now, they're saving Sakura.
This is a magical girl series. No one’s getting a happy ending.
We haven't seen a Sakura from Illyaverse yet, have we? Unless she appeared in filler.
Honestly, I kind of just want Shirou to book it to Ilya's world if this one can't be saved.
Sakura in Ilyaverse appeared in an extra chapter, she's happy like everyone in Ilyaverse since its good end universe
Miyuverse Sakura will probably be saved, since Beatrice being saved proves that the themes of Mahou are still in play here and Ilya will save everyone. Ilya has to clean up everyone's mess here.
Beatrice is dying (again) though, unless I missed something reading the latest chapter. I don't see Sakuralot lasting for anything more than another "tearful farewell" scene, if that.
And yeah, I guess I must've missed Illyaverse Sakura appearing in the manga. Which sidechapter was it? I'm pretty sure there were a few missing when I got through the series the first time.
please be true ( the comical shaningans with miyuverse Sakura in the movie extra material have me hopes that she could be saved , also, and how the theme of Illya savin everyine is being played lately. )
About Illyaverse sakura, yeah, she seemed normal and just appeared that one time , and illyaverse is the happy universe, but Rin had some strong reaction when she heared miyuverse Sakura story, like "this is the alternate verion of someone she cares for", but maybe it was just a wink to main FSN
Sakura is of course still Rin's sister in Ilyaverse, they even hint that in Miyuverse when Shirou tells his backstory, but I assume Zouken died early on in Ilyaverse when someone shut down the grail war ritual big time. Zouken doesn't have anything to live for if the grail is dead, if he was even still alive in the first place in that world. Which leaves Sakura as mostly normal life as a Matou maybe.
My personal bet is just that Kiritsugu took care of Zouken, the grail, and maybe Tokiomi ten years ago. That's probably the only way that world could stay a good end.
