Spoiler:
It's not over for Suzuka yet if you look closely at the last page. She's on that giant flower thing from the game when you get all the SGs.
True, but I don't think Foxtail gonna follow the same mechanic with real body inside the big one in a wall from the game.
I mean, in the game it just act as a stage to have another fight and dialogue, so now we what, gonna see another round of Caster x Saber now with Spinal Coaster on background?
Also as I recall it was Kiara who teaches us how to get inside it, not even sure how Hakuno gonna deal with it here.
Maybe BB can help?.. Well, having Hakuno (or Kazu?) dive in and having dialogue with Suzuka would be nice, but I keeping my hopes low.
Wait, I just realized, if Hakuno cannot get in, we gonna miss lewd Suzuka's CG. Now this is true crime against reader, Takenoko!

Here's the translation of the latest chapter. Not much actual text this time, but it's not needed for a moment as heartbreaking as this. With all the SGs gathered, we're really in the end phase now, since I doubt we're going to get another Sentinel after Suzuka at this point. All that's left is to face Suzuka one last time, and then it's on to the final boss battle. The anticipation is building nicely!

Thanks for the translation, as expected Suzuka has a different 3rd SG from her EoR debut. Also predicting for the future that Kazu & Suzuka will finally confront each other on their feelings with Hakuno and/or Tamamo's help.
Thanks for the translation!
Damn, that moment at the end when Suzuka wanted Kazu to call her by her name was harsh.

Stay tuned for next chapter, Suzuka Gozen's SG for more of her backstory.
Thank you all for bringing us this new charter, AleisterSwole for the Raws, EDreamer for the Translation, and TheSkipRow for the Typeset.
I think she is still alive in the flower door.
I have yet to play CCC so I could be wrong but it looks to me that the flower door is just beyond the stairs that were just unlocked and not a mental landscape. So I think OnesFleetingGlory is right and we could have Hakuno, Tamamo, and Kazu see Suzuka again as well as get some more back story. I agree with EDreamer that Tama will face Suzuka one more time if for no other reason then to show Tamamos NP as I think saving it for the last boss battle wouldn't give it a chance to truly shine. After the fight I think they should think about heading back to the school building to check on their friends and have others rest, like Violet and BB. I still think before the last battle Kazu and Suzuka will face Lizz, the old "you go on and leave this one to me" trope, since Ch 58.5 hints that Kazuradrop planed to make her a cornerstone of an area. This could give Kazu and Suzuka a sliver of a good ending with him calling her by her name.
The stairs were unlocked but not the "flower door". This thing itself is the greatest barrier. If we go by how it's done in the game, you need to get inside it and meet the "main body". Yes, the Sentinels you met in the game is more like spiritron projections based on their SG, when you beat them they return to main body inside this flower on the wall. The mental landscape here serves as arena for final fight vs the "real" version.
Except, as I said, I don't think we gonna follow the same mechanic in manga and meet somehow different Suzuka inside. In this case she likely will be just herself, the same person as what we just seen. That's the reason why I don't expect another fight - does she looks like she's in mental state for another round?
What I expect is something similar to what happened with Hakuno and Caster in chapters 69.5 - 70, where he got inside stone statue of Tamamo and could see her past as well as interact with her. It would serve as nice way to show Suzuka's past and having a dialogue. Now as to who gonna get inside, unlike CCC where it's just Hakuno and his servant, in this case we kinda need to have Kazu too, because JK likely wont even speak with anyone else. There's even more reason to have him explain himself to her - Kazu is basically already ally of Caster against Kazuradrop. But by himself he's pretty powerless, which means they need to bring Saber back and help him protect his sister. You know how "yesterday rivals join to face common enemy", also pretty default trope... Anyway, this is all of course just my copium for having Suzuka relevant in story again, but this is the direction I see the story can develop.
It would be decent after the shellacking both mentally and physically she got and maybe, just maybe actually give Kazu more of something in this narrative.
Because man, that was a pretty weak way to go out otherwise, like bro, at least say her name.
I could see this happen. If they do enter Suzuka door they will need Kazu and we may get some back story like Tama, though the end will probably have less energy LOL, but I think seeing her past will some how make Kazu want to help her battle Caster one last time, probably not to the death this time though, or at least lead to a battle to decide who will take point on Kazuradrop, though I can easily be wrong. My main reason I think there is one more battle before Kazuradrop is because of Tamamos NP. If she saves it for Kazuradrop I think it will just seem pointless as Kazuradrop will probably laugh it off. I think it should to be used against an establish fighter and skill so we can understand how powerful it is and why Kazuradrop brushing it aside is a big deal.

Did that happen in the stay night part of the story? Thinking about it in the animes I can't recall Shirou calling her anything but Saber even after learning her true name. I was thinking of a way the story given that Kazu and Suzuka lost could still end positively for them. Away they could give Kazu and Suzuka a happy ending I think is to have Hakunou save his sister after they beat Kazuradrop. In the game CCC the Sakura route it had them sent to earth somehow, I don't know how it worked, so maybe they can use the same trick to save her. This could have Kazu talk to his sister in a dream to say goodbye and end with her asking who Suzu is and Kazu call her by name maybe add more sweetness with him say Suzu was his girlfriend as they fade.
