Original: Sakura, Sakura ~ Japanize Dream...

[kaibutsushidousha]

I remember there was bit of discussion about how Kazuradrop got "whitewashed" in fgo by making her wanting a perfect dad thing, and there some who argued that she's kid Sakura who yearned for parental figure(father figure specifically), and that fate as a whole is a franchise based on empathy to even incredibly fucked up people(tho dunno if Columbus or Zuoken counts). What do you think personally?

I already mentioned in the Satsuki post that I think Kazuradrop is more spoiler-tagged than whitewashed (the event does not portray her as a good person even when her actions are far less extreme than they were in Foxtail), but as a general statement, characters behaving differently when engaging with different people in different situations is a good thing.

[nulltune]

i'm Naut a gamer and they're changing it for the remake but honestly fate/extra's gameplay is really fitting for hakuno's character! it's all about finding out who your opponent is, understanding them and predicting their patterns based on that and countering it. i think this is why fate extra materials say she has "amazing detective skills and inference ability" – specifically about the how she figures out the heroic spirits' identities but i think this should fit too. though on the other hand, i imagine she'd be stuck if there's not enough information to analyse.

for my portrayal, i want this trait of hers to rlly play into part with how she interacts with others too >:3c she's a good judge of character (though very idealistic and prone to giving others a chance or the benefit of the doubt) but takes her time to get more information and get to know them. from that, she can get a better understanding of just what is needed by the situation/person and fulfill that.

i feel like you already see this in canon too! she's pretty good at figuring out people and how they'd react, and filling in the blanks from what she knows about them.

AND PLSS THEYRE SO FUNNY SVSNAVXJ

+ this dialogue option where you have to convince jinako to help you out and the correct option has hakuno appealing to jinako's,, tastes (🗿)

SO you'll usually see things like her going with the flow and doing things based on what the others want/need rather than herself, mostly because she doesn't know what she wants herself and is trying to figure out this way.

it's important because foxtail makes it a point that your choices is what shapes who you are. hakuno even admits to "going with the flow" and "following what everyone says" in and has her important turning point when she chooses her own path. good character development!! which i think can be best exemplified in this dialogue option from true route:

where the right answer isn't solely doing what hakuno thinks sakura wants, but also taking what hakuno herself thinks into consideration. it seems like a small thing but it's such good development for my girl /sobs

i alao wanna mention how hakuno highly introspective (though to the point of overthinking actually) and can easily understand parts of others that they don't explicitly show or tell or even admit to themselves. and how her best dynamics are the ones that also explore her character and taps into her emotions and feelings and how it relates to the other! like julius for example:

Just like Julius, the protagonist worked their way up from the bottom. So when they met the protagonist could immediately and clearly see through Julius, and this pissed Julius off to no end.

it's not just hakuno understands that julius is weak, but it's how hakuno understands what it's like to be weak. she understands what's it like to be deemed inferior and useless, and to try your hardest to prove yourself. not just an observation of the other person as a character and making informed guesses based on that, which is how i think hakuno navigates her usual interactions; but with a connection with them as a person that would also require hakuno to consider her own self and how she relates to the other person, which is great development for her!

so basically- not just understanding others intellectually, but truly understanding them from the heart,, 🥹

it's not to say that having something in common is required to have a bond though, ofc! the point is that it's necessary for hakuno consider herself too. as more of a character who interacts with the world and others rather than a self-insert who's just viewing things as an audience surrogate y'know </3

like this moment, where hakuno doesn't just pick up on bb acting different, but has her own thoughts and feelings about it (even if she doesn't really understand it):

[bloodsoakedsakura]

There's a spoiler for Foxtail in your lines. Apparently eating BB and the Sakura Five caused you to overload and made you self-destruct.

"So I've been told."

"Either way, that sounds about right..."

[narukaminigga]

finished heaven’s feel. honestly i have nothing to say beyond it’s drawn out and in a good way, i mean. it’s the ‘bad ending’ of fate where nothing particularly is gained or lost; everyone’s desperation (besides sakura) is on full display as their ideals give way to angra mainyu’s malevolence. but i really liked it and i’m glad i read it last. i have to finish fate extra ccc foxtail now.

[luckythereviewer]

Not just Tamamo, Nameless, Gil, and Sakura and BB all got shafted Post CCC going into Extella. We already talked about how things with Tamamo, poor Nameless/EMIYA feels like he's only being dragged into the EX series at this point because he was in the original and we have to keep him around, even with how badly CCC Hakuno treats Nameless.

Then you have the Gil route where they finally made Gil a proper character and, as an unintended side effect, created the ship I would consider the one that has the most vocal minority surrounding it.

And then you have Sakura and BB thanks to CCC and the CCC Route Ending where you have BB die, get brought back in SERAPHIX in FGO, only to have her be assimilated by a Servant BB who has little to no recollection of Hakuno whatsoever and is basically the Nero Bride, Void Shiki, and 3rd Ascension Arc for BB and then we have the CCC Route ending where Hakuno and Sakura escape the Moon Cell and that plotline gets dropped and basically forgotten about.

And lets not get into Rin and Rani both being set up as partners for Hakuno in Extra and CCC starting off with both of those options only to basically do nothing for the rest of the game and them being left behind in the transition from Extra to Extella.

Point is: Hakuno ended up having a lot of ships created thanks to Extra and CCC and all the options Nasu created, likely throwing everything at the wall and seeing what stuck, and once he got settled on HakuNero around FGO and Extella being made, it was too late as all the other ships had been recognized, to an extend *Cough* Nameless *cough* Gil *Cough* Rin and Rani *cough cough*, enough that Nasu couldn't just drop all of them for HakuNero and has been trying to slowly make the remaining prominent ships be written off as no longer relevant i.e. Tamamo moving onto Ritsuka in FGO (or at least trying to as the HakuTamamo shippers are very stubborn about letting go, especially thanks to Foxtail being HakuTamamo focus but I can see that manga leading to basically giving an out for that ship) and SERAPHIX where you had Lip, Melt, and BB move on from Hakuno to Ritsuka and I guess Nasu deciding to leave Hakuno and Sakura from the CCC Route to just chill out in their own timeline to be happy together and never further elaborate on those two.

Which leads to Extra Record and the question of are we going to be back to square one with Hakuno having a lot of characters that are putting up clear shipping flags like it was in Extra or are we going to have those flags be reserved for Nero? Because it feels like if we are going to reestablish the EXverse as a whole (I'm under the belief that we aren't getting another Extella game, or if we do it'll be a remake, and record will basically be a reboot for the EXseries) and, if that's the case, it's important that Nasu actually clarifies the HakuNero ship being the main one early on as to prevent what happened with Extra and CCC from repeating itself.

I should also say that despite some of my annoyances, i do feel sympathetic to Tamamo fans.

I mean, in the original Extra, Tama was in every way as valid a choice as Nero. And unlike Nero, Tama is clear from the get go she wants to wed Haku. That just begs shipping them. She just seems like cute mikon waifu with perhaps a darker side, but who doesn't have one in Fate?

Then CCC comes out, and Nero marries Haku instead. Ok, well that's still just Nero's route and Tama has a route too, and neither route is more canon than the other right?

Then Extella and ExLink. Nasu comes out and says that Nero is Haku's true servant/lover and that Nero marriage end is canon for all intents and purposes. TamaHaku isn't resolved though, because that would make a fan backlash and we don't want that. Better to keep Tama fans engaged and clinging to hope. So instead, Tama is relegated to a possessive and toxic foil, doomed to lose to Nero in what she wants most.

Then, to top all that out, Grand Order goes ahead and perserves the sanctity of NeroHaku by creating Nero Bride (with a character bio that once again asserts NeroHaku marriage as canon). Meanwhile, what does Tama do? Slowly but surely jump ship to Ritsu. Again reminding us that Nasu values NeroHaku while Tamamo and TamaHaku is red meat to throw to those still clinging to the early days of the original Extra.

Like, seriously, it's rough. Tama got shafted hard. It shows just how disjointed the result is when the fans want one thing and the writer wants another.

The Meeting (A Sakura x Malora Story ))

Authors note: My take on how Sakura and Malora first met, it’s not perfect but I tried my best and like I said it’s not perfect but I had fun with it none the less also some background on Sakura herself. Since I redid her whole origins and gave it some more concreteness.

The estate was fairly large, having few places to hide but no one paid much mind to the chocobo stables. A miqote sat among the horse birds watching her fellow free company members bustle about on their usual business. She liked it that way no one ever paid her much mind to often caught up in their own endeavors. “Where is that new girl..” a thought randomly came to the miqote as her ears twitched sensing something behind her but putting it to the back of her mind assuming one of the chocobos was just making a noise. There was a new member that had recently joined... the others were polite with their words but their eyes betrayed them. Their eyes showed signs of distrust and weariness and the stranger, the new girl seemed about as out casted as the miqote felt. “This is a odd place to hang out, don’t you think? You know I hear Miqote’s senses are sensitive..” A voice trailed from behind the miqote who sat hugging her knees, a hyur’s face dipped down in front of the miqote staring at her with pale sky blue eyes. “I prefer it here! and didn’t anyone teach you its rude to sneak up on someone!” pale red slits glared at the white haired hyur woman who stifled a giggle as she stood straight and skipped over in front of the cat woman that was clearly unamused with her. “Well yes but you looked lonely..” her voice seemed apologetic it made the cat’s ears lower almost in shame, least one could only assume. “Just forget it... what did you want anyways?” she mumbled before looking up to see a hand held out to her “Like I said you looked lonely, Malora, Malora Lyra, and you are?” there was a moment silence as the miqote hugged her knees closer as if to hide behind them, or they were a wall that separated her from Malora and her extended hand of what one could only assume was friendship. “Sakura... Sakura Foxtail” she finally said in a light tone, staring at the hand as if it was some foreign gesture or trick. “People usually aren’t nice me” she added before letting her knees go, as her legs straightened out she gently but cautiously took Mal’s hand, helping herself up with the hyur’s help. “Don’t think we’re friends!” she quickly added in a hiss which was only accompanied by the humans laughter. “Of course not.” there was a hint of sarcasm but the miqote hid her smile by letting her raven black hair fall over her face. Sakura led a pretty solitude life, she was a loner that was taken in by this estates company but the life here had never been easy she always felt alone, no one made any efforts to show her anything that dispelled the loneliness but this stranger... was different not that it made Sakura happy, or rather it did but also pissed her off. It made her feel conflicted she was so use to being alone and not bothered and people always went away in the end. No. To let this person in now would risk them to leave later, right? “It’s getting late, I should go!” Sakura exclaimed realizing she still had Mal’s hand and let it go stumbling clumsily away from Malora and into the medium sized house which sat on the free companies estate. Sakura had no room of her own or a home so she usually slept in the chocobo stables. After some time passed and Malora was out of sight the miqote snuck back outside and into the stables curling up by a beautiful blue chocobo. “Hi sweetie” she whispered in answer to the gentle “KWEH!” which was followed by a gentle peck on Sakura’s ears followed by a genuine giggle of happiness. Sakura cuddled into the feathers, a wing covering her like a blanket as she drifted off to sleep. They had been together for so long, if she had one friend only it was this chocobo. Malora had not been wrong her senses use to be sensitive but she’d grown use to conditions like this since her early childhood. Such example was dust from the many books her mother had owned. The next morning Sakura woke to two blue eyes staring at her and a smile, Mal was petting Azura the chocobo “Shes a really sweet chocobo, I found her protecting you like a newborn, hehe you must be close to her?” there was no answer but Sakura’s face was red as a tomato, did this girl not give up? “She’s very special..” is all Sakura muttered before escaping Azura’s wings and standing brushing off her fur, ears and tail. “She normally doesn’t let anyone find me though..” she glared at the bird that only answered with a happy kweh! as she was petted and pampered. “There a reason you invaded my privacy?” “Its a stable Sakura... kinda public.” she grinned “shut up!” Sakura’s cheeks were now red as a rolanberry. “Are you always this sassy?” “Sometimes, mostly to stubborn cats” Mal let out a giggle before smiling “Our ‘fearless’ leader asked for some fish from the river and I thought we could go together.” In truth Bon had asked Mal to go fishing as well as mining and gathering but Mal just had by luck been passing to hear the snoring kitty and came to investigate but did the details really matter? “Will you leave me alone, if I do?” “Promise a bard’s honor” Mal crossed her heart as she held out her hand... there it was again that feeling of hesitation, why did this human insist on this gesture. It was nice but Sakura would never admit it, not out loud least not yet her pride was something to hold on too. “Fine but in doing so you tell no one of this!” she took the humans hand it was soft and warm, it reminded her of her mother’s hand though the memory quickly faded as she lifted her self let go and dusted herself off quickly. “Lets get this over with..” she muttered at the girl who only stood smiling not once threw off by the cold shoulder, a persistent one she was.They’re fishing destination wasn’t very far just a small river not far from the free company’s estate, Sakura knew it well since she spent a few or more nights fishing it for food never caring for the meals the others would make she preferred fish most chalked it to being a miqote but no one could say she just was a very isolated creature, up till now that is, “Here’s good” Sakura said contently as she sat under a nice shady tree her eyes glued to the hyur who was tying a knot to her hook and trying to set the hook with bait. The knot was poor but it would work and the bait wasn’t ideal but it’d get the job done the one thing wrong was her cast but Sakura said nothing, it was obvious fishing wasn’t this girl’s ideal profession which made sense normally Bon asked herself to do the fishing but since she was hiding/sleeping Mal must of been the unlucky victim, after all Bon was a very lazy person and a lazy leader at that. As Sakura sat mulling over the thoughts in her head she was jolted back to reality from a huge SPALSH and water hitting her face as Mal let out a yell of terror or surprise one and landed in the water. Sakura gazed at the sight still slightly in the shock of being awoken from her deep thinking to see a fish flapping comically on Mal’s head, who was drenched head to toe in ankle deep water. The cat could not help it before she could stop herself she fell on her side laughing loudly at the poor human girl who was glaring, Mal went to throw the fish at Sakura “ITS NOT FUNNY!” but before she could the cat girl was gone “where did she- AH!” the fish fell off Mal’s head and back into the safety of the water as something helped Mal up and took her arm’s from behind. “Silly that’s no way to catch a fish..” the voice was gentle but clearly Sakura’s, another indication was the fact she felt a woman's chest pressed against her back, the intentions were pure this was clear but it was still a odd feeling from someone who acted so cold. “First off you cast like this..” Sakura’s hands glided down Mal’s arms to her hands grasping them gently guiding her each minute along the way of casting up till hooking the fish, this continued a few times before she finally let go. “There you go!” Sakura had a genuine smile, not realizing Mal saw otherwise she’d never allowed it but Mal said nothing just smiled back. “And for the record it was totally funny” she remarked a counter remark to the remark earlier. After getting a few more hauls they sat upon the bank to dry letting the fish sit on a rope in the water to keep them fresh. “So the stables.. why sleep there do you not have any family to stay with?” Mal finally asked sitting with her knees pulled to her chest, her chin resting on them as she hugged her legs, Sakura sitting by her likewise. Sakura thought it over for a moment before deciding to cave in this human deserved something she supposed. “No, least not anymore” she finally exclaimed calmly, though her eyes seemed to glass over as if getting lost in memory. “My mother passed after I was about ten” “My apologies... was she from around here?” Sakura’s head tilted but still rested on her knees as she looked at Malora. “Yes, she was a scholar, she lived in ul'dah but she had a small cottage she sometimes would stay at in Limsa but she originally came from Ala Mhigo” “And your father?” Sakura’s gaze drifted slightly but she continued “Lets see... My father I never truly knew mother always told me he came from the island nation  Thavnair, I never been myself but I’ve seen enough pictures and read enough books to know enough about the place, he was a merchant from what I was told, one eve he was selling elixirs and tonics in ul’dah and met a lovely miqote who stole his heart away and he her’s they never married something about business never allowing them to settle but that didn’t stop them from having a child. Mother always spoke fondly of my father and told me how one day we’d be a family and perhaps she truly meant it but I never minded it being just the two of us though she was often busy with her studies so I would often find comfort in books and tomes.” Her lips cracked a smile at the mention of books before it faded at the mention of the next part. “I did meet him though at age six.. My father... it was a hot day in the Ul’dah markets and there was a crowd of people I had lost my mother moment’s before in the crowd but curious I peeked through the crowd to see a human man lying in his own blood dead, of course.” her voice held no sadness but perhaps some resentment despite stating before she had not minded her father’s absence but no remorse, her eyes seemed distant and glossier than before. “Living in Ul’dah death wasn’t uncommon assassinations or deaths of gladiators or refugees taken by hunger or sickness you’d see these things.. even if you shouldn’t but this man before me wasn’t just anyone. I noticed his eyes were identical to mine and his features I shared a few.. before I could even react a hand had jerked me away from the sight it had been my mother. She clearly had been crying but she held a brave face for me, even held my face close to her breast and yet I can’t say I was sad... I had never known this man except for maybe a brief touch of my mother’s belly or a touch before I could remember him at all... and despite a few features we shared he looked nothing like me he was normal while I had ears, a tail, and fur... I would of liked to have known him I think..” her eyes became less glossy as sentiment now if only a little filled her voice “But I was never given a chance to so I could ultimately feel nothing...” She let out a sigh as she went on. “We were told by the brass blades it had been a unfortunate armed robbery, they eventually caught and trialed the thief but it was a hollow justice if anything, after my mother locked herself even more so away to her studies, her way of grieving I like to think, not that she neglected me any less she would check up on me more than often perhaps afraid of losing the last thing she had left... and she also gave me something the day of my father’s murder. A blue chocobo with a note tied around it’s neck. In said note was a letter from my father a gift, the chocobo’s name was Azura. Yes the very same you were petting earlier. Shes the only thing I have that was remotely close to the dad I never truly knew. My mother grew ill after I turned ten and passed away, she left everything to me but being so young it was given to the Immortal Flames to look after and myself and Azura were given as wards of the orphanage in Ul’dah.. for a time I was adopted shortly after around age twelve to a wealthy family who treated me like a princess.. not that I cared much for the luxurious life I always preferred my mother’s cottage by the sea as a child personally.” “They didn’t care about your.. appearance?” Mal clearly asked the question cautiously though it was fair answer. “No they were lalafell’s so I suppose they didn’t mind to much of my appearance though it isn’t often you find the wealthy so kind they truly were a rare sight. But yet.. they raised me up till my middle teens then I was sent to the guild of  thaumaturgy” she closed her eyes trying to hide a smile as Mal asked. “Why the mage’s guild?” “I might of set my butler on fire by accident.. just his shoe mind you but it was enough for concern. I personally thought it was funny.” she stiffled a giggle before opening her eyes. “Turns out I had a affinity for the dark arts so to control it I was sent there. And I spent the rest of my childhood there before leaving Ul’dah to  go to Gridania. The lalafells who raised me were kind but I never cared for the luxurious life I imagine they are living their high lifestyle still but I never went back after the incident of my butler and my possessions of my mother are still in Ul’dah mostly books, she left little gil, having mostly been funded by the city state and well that leaves me to now. My only family really is a traitorous horse bird.” she obviously was referring to earlier which made Mal giggle. “I’m sorry to hear that but you’d don’t have to sleep in a stable you know.” She leaned over kissing the miqote’s cheek gently, a kind gesture was all but it made the cat blush none the less. “I have a idea!” Malora jolted up with a eureka expression and gave a childish grin at Sakura. “From now on you will stay with me! AND NO BUTS MISSY!” she leaned forward pointing a finger at the miqote who was about to protest. “Azura can come too, I’m sure Elphie will enjoy company!” Mal winked and stuck her tongue out just a little to the side knowing she had won. “So much for leaving me alone” Sakura thought to herself but her lips betrayed her. She was smiling and for the first time she allowed herself to feel that persistent feeling she’d been feeling since meeting this hyur to flow over her. Perhaps... she had been lonely to long and it was time to have friends that didn’t scream Kweh!

S4 #282 - Kazuradrop

[hasarjunadoneanythingwrong]

The irony of the Sakura 5 is that even the devs don't really care about any of them aside for Melt because she's the favorite out of all them. No one likes Lip, KP is just there at times, Violet and Kazuradrop are somewhere and BB is BB.

I’m gonna disagree with this if only bc bb is also wildly popular on her own merit, girl is in imaginary scramble she took over jinako’s grail front (I’m not mad) she popped up at the end of jinako’s interlude (I’m really not mad) I would say she’s at least as popular as meltryllis but honesty probably even more so because she has actual plot significance to fgo.

Kingprotea is a bit of a sleeper hit where she doesn’t get used a lot but from what I’ve seen she also has her fair share of fans, and while passionlip does get a lot of flak for being the most exaggerated of their designs her fans are ALSO very dedicated and she’s still more popular than a lot of other limited 4 stars

As for violet and kazuradrop…kind of hard to be popular/have devs care about you when you got cut out of your introductory game bc of cast bloat, you aren’t in fgo, and so far the only media where you HAVE shown up at all is the foxtail manga. And even then people routinely beg for them to come to fgo!

[300iqprower]

Kazuradrop was one of the first things cut because her personality and role were too similar to nurse Sakura. She was originally just a nice Alter Ego who ran an item shop in the labyrinth. It was Takenoko (he was the Foxtail's author and Suzuka Gozen's artist) who gave her a real personality eventually, made her more interesting. It worked out for the best probably, people actually remember her now that she's a bitch.

So like, did he DESIGN them and/or conceptualize them or just implement them? Need to know how consistent this guy's quality is because my very unqualified opinion as someone who technically hasn't read more than a few chapters of foxtail and hasnt touched anything related to either Extra game is that Suzuka is a top tier character, BB and probably Violet are good characters with good designs, KP is a good character with a tolerable design, people keep assuring me "No really Melt is the best one" with an atrocious design, and Passionlip is literally my most hated* Fate character for all the wrong reasons. Kiryuflake from everything I've seen and know the least about is still clearly and incredibly hateable villain for all the right reasons.

*hate in the sense of I think they're a terrible character for original reasons like design and bad writing, as opposed to something that's a mix of historical revision with those things like what we have with Skadi/Boudica/Zenobia

[bloodsoakedsakura]

There was an Interview for the Foxtail Anniversary. Some fun facts:

Violet is the most humanly complete and undistorted of the Sakura 5

Kazura is the Kindest but most troublesome of the 5 and Nasu got the idea for bug space during a trip in England while drinking tea and watching the bugs and bees.

"The one with hair snakes and a false arm is the most humanly complete. Well, given the rest of us, I suppose that low bar has at least some wiggle room..."

"The rest is fairly accurate however.~"
