Everyone still hates her though.

After her shill movies are done its a return to the status quo.

Why would anyone hate her?

-The hate was always exaggerated/forced by a loud portion of people.
-People grow up, tastes develop, new fans think differently.
-She and her route are actually getting proper exposure after so long, which can impact perception of them.

Most people hadn't actually read HF in the 00s. They just read shitty summaries written by Rinfags that tended to conflate her with the shadow and pretend Dark Sakura was all about trying to destroy the world, then shitposted based on those.

Is it, though?

Holy fucking shit. I want to bang Sakura so goddamn bad. I can't stand it anymore. Every time I read Fate/Stay Night I get a massive erection. I've seen literally every rule 34 post there is of her online. My dreams are nothing but constant fucking sex with Sakura. I'm sick of waking up every morning with six nuts in my boxers and knowing that those are nuts that should've been busted inside of Sakura's tight kouhai pussy. God I wish I was Shirou because I fucking know for a fact that Sakura drains his balls daily. I want her to suck all of my humanity out and ride me to death. Anyways, do you guys relate to this?

I must confess: I judged, criticized, and dismissed Sakura as a character before reading her story in the VN. Now having read the VN, as a dedicated Saber fan, and having considered Sakura previously to be the "worst girl", I can tell you that Sakura is a much better character in the limelight than out of it. If Saber didn't get killed off early on she would have stolen the spotlight like she tends to do, so in a way I think having her removed from the story allows Sakura to actually shine. Out of the three girls Sakura is easily the most human of them. Now and forever I will always love and cherish my King. But I still must say:

I'm sorry Sakurafags.
I misjudged you and your heroine.
Sakura is not the worst girl.
It was I who was the filthy secondary.

Because in the beginning we all flocked to FSN because of the VN or DEEN, where she was unlikable or irrelevant respectively. Then, newfags entered the series with Zero where she had sex with worms for over a decade. That was the turning point, as there are surprisingly many people who liked used up moldy garbage used goods. With ufotable now all of the VN's context is gone and she's just the heroine of a generic action anime so all the newnewfags flock to her.

Kek don't really like Sakura but even I realized how messed up she was portrayed. Wasn't their even a "joke" shinji forcing herself on her scene? What a bitch. At least you guys got Sudou a massive sakurafag for the movies.

People finally started to notice that Rin isn't a very good person. Once that happened the waifuwars lost some of their intensity.

>taking carnival phantasm this seriously
Lol

Because of the influx of newfags. Most haven't read the VN so they see the fanction tier movies or just hear about her being a rape victim and feel instant pity for her. Most who read the VN more of than not hate her or at least have her as the least favorite of the trio.

>muh newfags

>t. Rinfag seething that the movies confirmed what Sakurafags have been saying about HF in the VN all along
Only newfags trying to fit in hate on Sakura, and that's been true since the beginning.

But my opinion of Sakura did a 180 after I actually read the VN, as it did for a lot of people. HF was the last route after so much hype and build-up in Fate and UBW and so a lot of people just never bothered to read it. She isn't liked now because it's "the cool thing to do" like you are making out to be.

Speak for yourself fag. Reading the VN made me like her more than Rin who was my previous second best.

Why?

Why do people generally hate shy and submissive girls like Hinata/orihime/Sakura? Also what is it about tsunderes that make them so popular?

the pooey one

The community grew and most Fatefags are actually secondaries now that met Sakura after meeting her various clones and only experienced her personally through watered down versions. I've always liked her though.

What kind of bizarro world do you live in? Only tsunderefags hate hajideres.

Tsunderes are popular because of self-loathing faggots who want a girl to humiliate them

I never hated her. Hell, she was the first Type Moon girl I fapped to

Sakura is as hated now as she ever was, here at least. All thats changed is that over the years the Sakurafanbase has simply gathered some loud; dedicated faggots who defend her

normalfags all like Sakura, so she has a lot more fans now

Pretty sure Sakura haters are the ones who are loud and dedicated to shitposting if anything.

Im sure you'd love to think that, but no.

The normalfag choice is Rin, though. They love her shallow stronk womyn personality.

I agree she's the second most popular choice for normalfags

The irony is palpable.

Rin is literally worst girl though.

Saber and Sakura actually have a route for themselves. UBW is Archer's route and Rin has very little character growth throughout every route except HF where she is at arguably the best or her character.

Attached: Screenshot_2019-03-03-01-21-56.png (1440x2880, 558K)

Because FGO utterly dominates the Fate franchise and your average fan is just interested in another pair of big tits. Of which there are many Sakuras in ample supply.

It took me awhile to get around to HF, I read Fate and UBW 10 years ago and am rereading all of them right now.

>fgo
No one is talking about FGO faggot.

Gachashits need not reply
In fact, go kill yourself for embarrassing the franchise more than apocrypha ever could

It's funny because it's common knowledge that Sakurafags have always been primaries by definition. Sakura haters are the ones known for shitposting while blatantly not having read the VN. Take "wormslut", for one. She gets dewormed, and she stays faithful to Shirou unlike Rin, so nobody who's actually read the VN would call her that.

Back then Type-Moon was among the niche VN circles many of which were hardcore otaku now it is semi-mainstream with tons of casuals. However no matter how much time passes it won't stop Rinfags and Sakurafags from being obnoxious little shits going at each other's throats.

Why would you say this when you couldn't even possibly be a Sakurafag before reading the VN before? It makes no sense.

>embarrassing the franchise
I don't think any gachashit is needed for that.

You know that's not true, user. Insults don't work that way.

OP is asking why Sakura hate has (allegedly) mellowed out this decade compared to the previous decade, and a few fans said reading the VN made a difference.

Heard of fate, didnt get into it until last year. Started with the VN. Played through the routes, expected myself to be a rinfag. Found fate kinda boring but it picked up when shirou entered the basement, saber was aight. UBW was ok, enjoyed the music. Started HF thinking "Sakura is probably going to be a boring girl next door heroine". HER FIRST CG and I already loved her, and then the route was just a roller coaster after that.

Attached: wWRFaIh.jpg (980x1280, 206K)

New fans aren't obsessed with muh purity so we don't really care about that and focus on the fact that she is the most interesting and developed character in the story.

Those same people generally said they didn't like Sakura before that, so they weren't Sakurafags before getting to the VN. The way you wrote it makes it look like people who were already Sakurafags took a long time to read the VN, I'm just talking about that.

More exposure, simple as that.

The VN made me dislike her far more than the anime. If anything the new ufotable adaptation is the only thing making me feel some kind of sympathy for her

Hated the VN for killing off Saber instead of letting us save her. Fuck that

I always figured they were popular because it allowed mistreated weirdos to justify their mistreatment at the hands of whamen

That or at least it makes it easier for people without strong social skills to understand things

I like tsunderes because of the thrill of the hunt. Girls who are always deredere are too easy. You have to completely break a girl and make her yours.

I think they stopped competing some time ago. It's Sakurafags vs Saberfags these days.

Except Saber's beauty was so great that Shirou, who's used to seeing the already beautiful Rin, was entranced by it.

They found the error in their ways.

Can confirm. I abhor Sakura because of what happened to Saber in HF.

Shirou's canonically retarded, let's not use him as points of reference

That was sabers fault for being so depressed and suicidal every waking moment of the day

I used to hate her, but then I read a doujin where she was made into a living toilet and she was so cute that my heart melted.

All three fate heroines suck, and Shirou sucks too. It's a miracle they carried the franchise with those four morons.

It’s not Sakura’s fault that Saber got eaten by Angra Mainyu.

Only a Britbong could be so mentally deranged

Why?

Why are Saber and Sakura so much sexier when they’re evil?

Because there was no way to save Saber. You had to kill her to save Sakura.
And as someone who liked UBW, the entire HF storyline rubbed me the wrong way.

I don't know why this would bother you, you barely spend any time with Saber in HF before she gets BLACKED. There is no logical reason why Shirou would prioritize Saber over Sakura in HF.

The player has already spent two whole routes with Saber though.

Sakura was always evil, or at least crazy. Whenever Sakura asked Shirou "What if I turn out to be a bad girl?" early in the route, I wanted to scream at Shirou that that's a huge red flag and to drop the crazy BPD bitch.

It's not about Shirou's preferences. It's about mine. That's why I dislike HF, and by extension Sakura, to begin with.

Is it always the samd guy who says this? Recently there's this user who really hates Sakura because Shirou killed Saber for some reason.

The Shinjuku campaign came out not too long ago in NA, so Salter x Jalter vying for your attention propelled her back to top tier in terms of popularity.

The CCC campaign was right after that, we had BB, Melt, and Lip make their debut but it looks like Melt made the biggest impact among the NA fans (mostly due to the FGO CCC story).

But I would say Saber is still far ahead, although I don't have (nor would I know where to find) numbers.

I dunno. It is really hard to get into UBW, because as the person who was watching with me said, they spend too much time talking and the scenes pass so slowly and with very little of the action that the opening promises early on. So I do agree with its position on your list but the DEEN anime had a good start and the characters are more "alive", or so to say, even if the animation aged badly

Are you implying Mike wasn't loud?

You don't have to hate Sakura to like other characters more. I felt really bad for Sakura after HF for all the shit she had to live with, but she's so one dimensional and submissive throughout the VN that other characters with lofty goals and dreams striving to accomplish impossible feats just kinda outclass her. Also, it was kinda hard to see Shirou give up on his ideal and sacrifice so many people including himself just for one girl born into unfortunate circumstances. I mean, I get that EMIYA hated his choices and just wished he could give up, but UBW Shirou worked so hard to surpass him that you just have to root for him, even if you know that all that awaits is eternal suffering.

Sakura has worms and a has little too much sex with her boytoy while Rin has sex with old men for gems and has a defenseless anus but

Saber, the one who seems to be called a slut the least, literally comes from an era where

-sexual congress for reasons other than procreation was a sin
-oral sex was sodomy, a crime
-premarital sex would get you imprisoned
-fornicating with non-christians would get you castrated
-homosexuality would literally get you literally executed

Yet the so-called ROYALTY commits every medieval sex crime with a japanese teen and a japanese chick within a week of being in Fuyuki?

Sakura is not one dimensional, and she really isn't submissive either but her situation made her made her meeker, and she was basically forced into not doing much by her situation. Not being able to do things because it could start a rampage and you want to avoid that is not being submissive.

As mentioned by other anons, her route and her role in it was never adapted properly. So those that didn't know of it thought she was boring compared to Rin and Saber, and those that knew a little about it but never played Heaven's Feel thought she was a villain and a slut.

I'm happy that she's finally getting the recognition (and quality hentai fanart) she deserves. Even if she gets back to being hated afterwards, she'll always remain my favorite Fate heroine and one of my first childhood boners since I played her route when younger. I loved to fap to her and found the rain scene so romantic. I'm happy with how it was adapted in the movie, and the extra scenes just add more nuance to Sakura's stubborn character.

>Actually the line "let us melt together" in the I Beg You song sounds so fitting for Dark Sakura

Explain this

She has plenty of personality. In fact, she has one of the most complicated and multifaceted personalities in the entire VN.

She's a shy unconfident girl with immense amounts of self-hatred and bitterness due to her horrible situation, and yet she also has a fierce determination to endure it all, as well as being really kind-hearted and selfless. She's usually introverted and keeps to herself, but develops to become a lot more energetic and playful before the start of the story due to the influence of Taiga. That said, she's still very modest in comparison to the more generic action heroine personalities of Saber and Rin, and treasures daily life over risky goals. Unlike them, Sakura prefers to lie low and stay out of trouble, but for better or worse, Rin is the one person who brings out Sakura's inner competitiveness, as she simultaneously looks up to and loathes her big sister. Sakura has a bad habit of blaming herself for the faults of others and putting their happiness over her own, but simultaneously, if she's offered hope and happiness, she won't allow anyone to get in the way of it no matter what, as the two things she won't stand for are having the rug pulled out from under her and losing those she cares for. If she's somehow angered, Sakura's rage is cold and calculating, to the point of almost seeming gentle despite its ruthlessness. Even when not angry, Sakura sometimes displays gentle snark and teasing, similar to Tohsaka, but done in a more kind-hearted way.

And that's far from all there is to her.

What's wrong with doormats? Literally what's wrong with having a submissive wife who loves you unconditionally?

>I read Fate and UBW 10 years ago and am rereading all of them right now.

What are your thoughts?

I Beg You is about someone wanting to be loved and desired, even if that love comes in the form of pity. That's why the song's lyrics start with "Give me sympathy, give me sorrow. Look down on me, tell me I'm pathetic. Kick me around with the toe of your boot if you please". That's what she has wanted out of Shirou and others because she doesn't think of herself as worthy of love so she can only accept it if it comes twisted in a way she can comprehend.

But as the lyrics progress (and she starts going crazy from Angra Manyu), her desires start to manifest more strongly. That's why she mentions things like: "Let us devour all the unsightly masses" as the song picks up in intensity. As she shows the extent to which she hates others for having ignored her plight and rejected her. For failing to save her just like Kariya. Sakura knows the worst human beings are capable of because she has only dealt with people like Shinji and Zouken so she has a more cynical view of the world.

I bet if Sakura was given the choice, she would deem mankind not worthy of saving and would doom them.

Then my favorite part "Let us melt into one. Let us fill our mouths with hate and love, all mixed together; inside this chaotic, oh so sweet pot". By that point she no longer knows what she wants, as either emotion is good for her and she's just hungry. Angra Manyu has taken over, not to control her but to amplify her desires: "You're to be with me...I just want to beloved"

Overall I'd say it's a great song that depicts Sakura falling to madness and despair. And it's beautiful and sad, just like Heaven's Feel.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But if all her personality, desires and thoughts revolve around being a housewife and her love, then she's no different from the one dimensional dense harem protagonists. She may make a great gf or wife, but that also makes her a shitty character in a story.

That's also why the saying that "most great characters would be people we can't stand being nearby in real life" exists.

Same here. She just got such a lewd body, and her submissive housewife - sex crazed traits make her a perfect wife. She was also one of my first faps, and I was lucky enough to play her route when young.

Before that, my only experience with Fate was through Deen''s adaptation and I found her nice but boring. I'm so glad I got to play Heaven's Feel.

So funny how most of the Sakurafags experiences with her are so similar. I also started to love her from the scene where Shirou wakes up to see her first thing in the morning.

Rain scene solidified my love for her. What was your favorite scene, anons?

Attached: t01b03510b2d73734cf.png (964x602, 712K)

Even in the original rape scene on the novel, she mentions how she would just stay immobile like a dead fish until he finished. She survived by shutting down her emotions.

Her only loving sex she did was with Shirou.

I love how insane and deranged she is. I bet she would be one of us if she was real.

Rin also feels entranced by Saber. I think Saber in particular got something special which is what boosts her charisma rank.

Did anons read her diary in HA?
Did you enjoy the consequences of your actions?

But Sakura has plenty of personality, hell, if all her wishes revolved around Shirou she wouldn't go to morning archery practice and miss spending time with him because of that. Good job ignoring the post that describes some of her personality.

Everyone has a massive hardon for Saber in the VN. Men, women, servants, magi, everyone.

Emiya "screaming" is glorious

That scream was amazing and also earned because holy shit Sakura smiling from just outside the door was terrifying.

Sakura was best girl in HA and the rider and sakura threesome is probably the hottest scene in the entire VN

Over 80% of newfagfatefags never read the VN, ergo the only exposure to Sakura is either nothing or the worm washed version. People used to hate Sakura because only way to get into Fate was the fucking VN

Newfags dont hate Sakura because theyre secondaries

I'm partial to the bath with Saber myself, but that's some good taste you got there.

I played the VN, and while I didn't hate her, I didn't find her all that interesting, either. I just liked Saber and Rin better as characters, is all.

I like saber and sakura the most, rin is fine but I am not a fan of her, I dont hate her though.
Most hardcore rinfags on the other side are fucking cancer

I actually went into the VN expecting to love Sakura, because I spoiled HF for myself a bit and couldn't bear to not read the thing. I ended up loving her and HF way more than I expected though.

My favourite scene is either the rain scene or the scene right after Shirou decides not to stab her, they even played sorrow during that. The scene where she's introduced is really well done, everything from the colour scheme to the music gives a cozy feeling.

I think we should all get along. Even though I'm not particularly attached to Sakura, I don't mind her character, she doesn't bother me. If someone likes her the most, then that's quite alright, I can kinda see why, it's just that she's not my cup of tea.

Her body may very well be the lewdest of the three girls, though. She just look like she's made for being bred.

But Sakura not acting is the goal in that route. She needed to stay put until Shirou and Rin found a way to save her. The moment she takes action and goes to face Shinji and Zouken herself, is the moment everything goes to shit.

I'm not complaining about Sakura. I'm mentioning OTHER one dimensional characters that live only for their loved ones. In reply to this:

>What's wrong with doormats? Literally what's wrong with having a submissive wife who loves you unconditionally?

I like when they fucked. Seeing sakura go absolutely braindead from the orgasms after an entire lifetime of a torture was pretty hot. Shirou started fucking like a maniac at one point too. Seeing them both slowly become obsessed with each other at the cost of being isolated from everyone else was kino.
True love ain’t like in the fairy tales. It’s all consuming and incredibly addictive and dangerous

This. Carnival Phantasm also makes a joke about her Charisma rank when she works as a waitress. I think it's just a natural part of her being Saber. And it seems to work across dimensions too given how many Saberfags are out there.

I wonder, what did she do to them?

Oh yeah I forgot the stab scene. I actually missed the introspection Sakura had in that scene because it couldn't be narrated in the movie.

But the way she mentions "I broke him" in such a sorrowful tone made me tear up when reading the novel.

Overall I'd say the movie adapted the emotions very well nonetheless.

Oh, sorry, I guess I didn't understand or I just kept thinking of Sakura because it's what sparked the reply chain. I think I actually agree with you then.

>implying I still don't hate worm-slut

>procreation
Dude she's barren, don't bully her.

That's what I love about her scenes too. She feels the most human of the heroines. She gets dirty, she bleeds, she gets scared. She even complains about her gaining weight in Heaven's Feel Normal End. Fuck, I need to play her route again.

It's cool. I'm a Sakurafag too so can't really complain about her. She's so beautiful and fun.

And to top it all off, she is just boring. I get you like girls with big tits, fair enough. But doesn't change that she is a weak bitch that goes on a school shooter type rampage as soon as she gets a bit of power.

Whatever it was, it sounded like a fate worse than death.

Nice try, but the only ones who hate her are secondaries (or more recently, tertiaries) who only read summaries of the route.

>She even complains about her gaining weight in Heaven's Feel Normal End

Thank god that her extra weight all ends up in her boobs. At least according to Taiga.

I mean, I dont hate rinfags for being rinfags. I hate the ones that need feel treatened if someone prefers other girl and need to spam wormslut and call sakura or other girls shit to try and prove something. Of course I have seen many decent rinfags, but there is a loud portion of her fanbase that is fucking aids. Not only on Yea Forums (in fact I think Yea Forums is one of the most decent places) I remember someone here posted one autist in one I beg you song that made like 20 fucking comments in that video calling sakura a slut that should get raped and killed (while saying rin is best girl, so that user wasnt assuming and it was a rinfag). You dont usually see that from saberfags or sakurafags, specially out of Yea Forums. Though to be fair the levels of autism of people like that reach are genuinely amusing.

But yeah, I agree with you, the problem is that toxic people exist and will never dissapear

>lets her uncle die
She’s literally chained to the wall as he dies, secondary.

>in one I beg you youtube comment section*

>she lets her uncle die who tries to save her
>lets her "brother" rape her continually
>mope constantly but with a smile

What part of she got a magical crest inside her that can kill her anytime her grandpa chooses you didn't get? If she tries to save Kariya, Zouken can kill her or kill him slowly and make her watch. If she tries to stop Shinji she gets a beating and then reconditioning with the worms.

If she breaks down and her will falters, then her mind gets destroyed and Angra Manyu takes control of her body. The only way she had to survive was to endure and remain calm as much as possible.

Though I'll give it to you, yeah I like girls with big tits.

Yeah, her route is amazing. I like Saber though, and before Heaven's Feel I was a heavy Shirou x Saber shipper.

I was undecided about Rin, but I admit I started to dislike her a little in Heaven's Feel when her solution to the "Sakura problem" is to kill her without remorse, and the fact that she actually goes through with it if you let her in the Mind of Steel ending.

Attached: 27-HF09-20a-39.jpg (800x600, 152K)

I sort of feel like she didn't act like herself in HF, as unpopular of an opinion that is. It wasn't like her to go 100% mage; she could never do that, especially not to her sister.

Yeah, I missed the scene too, and I liked that at least they added her tearing up after Shirou leaves, even thought you'd have to read the scene to underatand why. Lost buttwrfly was a pretty great adaptation, I'm glad they're making good use of the runtime they gave themselves by rushing Presage flower a bit.

Yeah, Shirou knew that Rin really wanted to save Sakura. She acted cold towards Sakura, but it was obvious she was trying to hard to act like a true magus.

Reason of Why Saber Never be Heroine

Attached: Shiro Saber 12123.jpg (960x679, 89K)

There's a scene I will never forget. It's when Sakura has already deteriorated a lot and she lost her sense of taste. She tries to cook for everyone and kicks anyone that tries to help out of the kitchen, and you just hear her break many dishes and take forever to make a meal, something completely unusual. When she finished it it looked good but tasted horribly, which gave you an even deeper realization of how much she had deteriorated right after giving you some hope.

It felt so human to see her try to do something she would usually do quite easily to try and fight off the thought of herself deteriorating and lie to herself, and it was also deeply haunting because everyone will lose their skills to a degree someday. It's fascinating to me how tidbits like this flesh out characters so much.

It's quite shocking I thought I disagreed with you before, you have impeccable taste.

I disliked how she just got a pat in the back for her good intentions, especially because she kept telling Sakura she'd have to kill her if she didn't fuck off to bed. If she had been less extreme in her ways I wouldn't care, but it made me dislike Rin a bit.

>I liked that at least they added her tearing up after Shirou leaves, even thought you'd have to read the scene to understand why.
That's what I wondered. I understand the emotions because I played the novel but dunno if newfags with little experience in the Fate universe would get the meaning behind it.

I had some guys at the movie theater wonder when Saber would come back because they thought she would be the main heroine. They were quite surprised when she got blacked instead and didn't get saved by Shirou. They also got annoying with "don't do drug kids" jokes during the Go Go scene. Loved their faces when they realized Sakura had been eating people the entire time though.

I think you're confusing Love with Lust user

I think lust isn't as pervasive as obsession. When someone only cares about another person to the point he becomes dependent on the other one. It's destructive too and something lust can't compare to.

Also, lust can be satisfied and you get your fill. After which the body releases hormones to recover. But obsession and addiction don't have enough with just a little.

Do you think Shirou and Sakura's relationship is destructive?

Attached: M4_11TnSIcxfQVi5MAYYMK4QrIyoh5fh2fAe6Q7_OKE.png (960x274, 294K)

Yeah but now I gotta listen to the sparks liner ost.

Based on what we see in the true end, I think their relationship isn't destructive, since they had each other during their lowest points and that gave them strength to keep going, which eventually worked out for them.

Sakura needed someone to love her and being removed from her abusive life for a long time to heal. Shirou found a more natural and realistic way to quell his seigi no mikata tendencies due to falling in love with someone he was incredibly close with already, and her situation. This is more or less why I think their romance helped them through their tough situations, and thus ultimately wasn't destructive to either of them. In the true end you can even see Sakura isn't jealous at all when Shirou blushes at Rin; she's more secure with herself and less dependent on Shirou.

I'm so glad Sudou directed this. I assume he gave Aimer some direction with the lyrics.

But in the end Shirou had to give up his ideals and passions for Sakura. Would limiting himself like that make him happy?

And what do you think were Sakura's goals after Heaven's Feel? Would she try to get a normal life with Shirou, accompany him in his dream to become a hero or even go to the mage association with Rin? She was a huge source of mana and extremely powerful with a materialized servant. They could easily get a top stop in the association with proper training.

>Loved their faces when they realized Sakura had been eating people the entire time though.
Heh. I had to settle for the camrip because the place I live in is a piece of shit in Europe.

The tear thing might actually be pretty bad for people without context, because I assume the most natural thing to think would be that Sakura shed a tear because Shirou tried to kill her, not because she's sad she's broken him and all that. I liked it better that way though, so I don't really care what those people take from that scene, plus her shedding a tear is a short enough scene, so anime-onlys might just not make anything from that.

>Do you think Shirou and Sakura's relationship is destructive?
Not exactly. But I do believe shirou's feelings for her might not be as pure as her feelings for him. I mean the Reason he fell for her is because she's "beautiful"( a physical attribute). He didn't fall for her kindness, her loyalty or passion. Maybe I sound paranoid but I'm simply tired of the " She's so beautiful, I'm in love!" Trope. Can't boys fall for anything other than beauty?

Also the reason this ship is so popular is because of Sakura's sex appeal. If she was an ugly fatso, would you still care about her?

I wonder. Could Sakura have fallen for someone else that showed her kindness? Or was the jumping scene when Shirou was younger the trigger to make her love him?

I think Shirou only liked her looks but didn't really love her. I think he started to love her the moment she showed she was in trouble, as it triggers his white knight boner hard. He's a weird case, because he didn't leave his ideal for Saber or Rin, but did so for Sakura.

Damn I'm sorry about that man. It sucks that anime is still a commodity in many places. Streaming helped alleviate it a little but still not enough. I had the luck of watching it twice.

It had more people than I expected since anime still doesn't gather much interest in my country. But it saddened me that many were confused about what it was about.

Pressage Flower confused many because they only knew of Saber and not much.

>But in the end Shirou had to give up his ideals and passions for Sakura. Would limiting himself like that make him happy?
Rather than limiting himself for Sakura, she made him realize what he's not willing to give up in pursuing his ideal. It already showed in UBW with Taiga, where he wasn't willing to let her die, but in HF it appeared in a way he couldn't escape from that. The way I see it, HF just made Shirou realize and accept his human limitations in pursuing his ideal. He still wants to help others, as shown by the night recon he and Rin do towards the end of the route, but he'll prioritize those he loves.

The way I see it, he weighed Sakura against his ideals and chose what he preferred, showing the limitations he has in following his ideal.

Sakura was the Fuyuki city magi overseer after HF right? You could go anywhere with that, but given how bad her life was before, maybe she'll live a comfy life for a while before thinking about what else she wants to do. I think Sakura might decide either way eventually.

>But in the end Shirou had to give up his ideals and passions for Sakura. Would limiting himself like that make him happy?
It's not a sacrifice if you expect something else in return. He gave up his ideals because he wanted Sakura. She became more important to him than his ideals. This isn't sacrifice, it's a simple human ideology of trashing away less important things. So no, he "sacrificed" nothing

>Could Sakura have fallen for someone else that showed her kindness?
Of course. She fell for him because he was the typical 'nice guy' harem protagonist. This pairing relies on some very cliché romance tropes

The romance is better handled in the movies, the original novel was pretty bad with this, but realta nua makes it slightly better. Removing so much sexuality made Shirou less of a horndog, but you'd have to read the original at least once.
>Can't boys fall for anything other than beauty?
This always annoys me too, only reason it's acceptable for me in HF is that they already had a very intimate dynamic beforehand, so the strong emotional bond was already there. Their romance is predicated on the trope of realizing how pretty/hot your close female friend is, and how that makes you see her as a potential partner, rather than family.
>I think Shirou only liked her looks but didn't really love her. I think he started to love her the moment she showed she was in trouble, as it triggers his white knight boner hard
That's actually not the case because they added a monologue from Shirou in day 8 where he's basically admitting he loves her.

>It had more people than I expected since anime still doesn't gather much interest in my country.
At least it made the theater more money so it's more likely you'll get Spring song.

Some people are watching this without watching UBW so it's confusing for them. I didn't think presage flower was confusing otherwise, but maybe because I read the VN. My biggest complaint would be how it feels more like scenes stitched together, but I doubt this would make it more confusing. Maybe some other people are not familiar with the concept of routes, so watching UBW makes it harder for them..

>Trope.
>Can't boys fall for anything other than beauty?
Yikes!

>Their romance is predicated on the trope of realizing how pretty/hot your close female friend is, and how that makes you see her as a potential partner, rather than family
Why is this so popular though? Even NaruHina capitalized on it. Naruto should have fallen for her way back in the Pain saga. This "realization" shit makes for a shitty love story

Oof, that's some powerful dark Sakura art. I feel it.

I agree, and the reason it's like this, at least in HF, might just be that Sakura is the childhood friend, and Shirou has to fall for one of the girls in each route. The romance would be better if it could just start with both already dating, for example, if we're just talking about HF. The romance in this route shines especially when they're apart and you can see that they're both obsessed with each other. It just gets better all around once they sart dating.

He appreciated her as a friend, her physical attributes however made him start thinking of her more as a lover though. But he loved her platonically before then anyways.

I prefer that he’s honest about it though, saber x shirou is sweet but it’s far too idealized. As a teenage boy, love and lust are very interconnected. They say you can’t properly distinguish the two until you’re at least in your mid twenties after all.

>Most hardcore rinfags on the other side are fucking cancer

Why do hardcore rinfags hate Sakura so much?

They’re tsundere for sakurafags

Rin is literally the polar opposite of sakura in every way. She’s a virgin with a nearly spotless record, she doesn’t have much in the way of baggage, she’s aggressive and dominant, body type is opposite, and she’s independent and strong. They’re both equally good characters however, Sakura’s depth as a character lies under the surface whereas Rin is mostly in your face. Not many people are willing to give Sakura the chance, and on the other side sakurafags can be turned off immediately from Rin’s somewhat grating attitude.

Am I weird if my favourite Eva girl is Asuka, while my favourite fate girl is Sakura?

more people finally beat her route in FSN and actually see that it has the best story.

No

>physical attributes however made him start thinking of her more as a lover though
I hate this. Out of all the good things about her, he fell for her "beauty".

>But he loved her platonically before then anyways.
Why is platonic love not treated as romantic love? The only difference between a friend and a girlfriend is that you fuck the latter. The problem with Japanese media is they depict sex as something Sacred while that's not the case in the postmodern world. Casual sex is a thing today so it's really hard to say that Sex = Love. It's really hard to believe that Shirou loves Sakura when all he thinks about is fucking her

>It's really hard to believe that Shirou loves Sakura when all he thinks about is fucking her
He would not have gone through the lengths he did in HA to save her if he just thought of her as an onahole. This a dumb point and Shirou’s actions speak for themself.

I think its an inferiority complex, if people like sakura they feel treatened for some reason
Sakura was the least popular heroine for years (since the deen fate adaptation if I am correct) and most sakurafags gave zero fucks. If you mention that rin is currently less popular than sakura a bunch of rinfags will either try to deny it or get triggered as fuck blaming "the sakurashilling of heaven's feel and gachashit" when rin was way more popular than sakura because sakura is literally irrelevant in all the routes animated while rin got a movie and a series of her route, and was pretty prevalent in the deen fate anime, and also got "shilled" on the extra anime (though to be fair I shouldn't even count that shitshow because I doubt people give a fuck about it, but I guess that doesn't count for them, just the tings that "shill" sakura.
You can find some examples of those people at the beginning of this thread.

They are insecure for some reason

>He would not have gone through the lengths he did in HA to save her if he just thought of her as an onahole.
Sakura gives him sex. He likes it. Therefore he protects her. It's as simple as that. He would never do all those things for her had she not given him the pussy

But they didn't even fuck before he decided he preferred her over his ideals. While kinda average in getting to them dating, the VN does a good job at showing how close they are, Shirou loved Sakura platonically from day 1, but she wasn't someone he'd date before, because he saw her as family.

>Shirou loved Sakura platonically from day 1
If he loved her since the get-go, was there a need for the sexual tension? Do we really need all the sex and fan service?

I hate to inform you, but it’s an eroge. That’s kind of the point.
Many western movies also feature sex and love as a plot point anyways. I don’t know what you’re complaining about.

Also Realta Nua exists which offers a completely platonic perspective. The story doesn’t really change all that much at its core

>Many western movies also feature sex and love as a plot point anyways
I'm just tired of all the sex.

She's a fucking King. How is she supposed to act? What makes Saber charming is her trying to pull back her chivalrous nature and try to be more human/womanly to people/Shirou. She tries to do this because of how much suffering this seeming lack of humanity had caused her before.

This is a case of Show, Don't Tell. We don't feel the same attachment because we don't experience that time with Sakura that Shirou does. Maybe it could have been solved with flashbacks to their past conversations but would make the route longer than it already is.

I think for the same reason bad boy fantasy is popular. You know in reality he'll fuck and dump but in fantasy he will turn out to be a silent brooding type with a soft spot inside.

Same with friend romance. In reality friendzone isn't desirable but in fantasy you get a chance.

Nasu didn't care about the sex scenes. He planned to skip them but was forced by his editor because visual novels without sex were obscure hobbies that didn't sell much. Dark times indeed. So he had to get someone to write them for him (it's also why the writing quality differs so much from the main story).

but nasu was shoehorning sex scenes into his works as far back as tsukihime

Just read realta nua after reading the orignial. The first 2 sex scenes are swapped by the vampirism, but in the first one, once Sakura is done drinking blood she has a nice conversation with Shirou, and just that made the scene better. I think HF is at it's best with RN, as long as you keep in mind Sakura's true backstory, and read the 3rd actual H-scene because it's great.

I love Dark Sakura and I think she is still quite pure despite her darkness. Why do I like dark things? Why do I like red? Am I worse than Kirei?

You said he started to love her once her issues appeared, which is in day 9. I said there's evidence he loved her before, in day 8, so that can't be the reason.

>This is a case of Show, Don't Tell
That's the main issue here. You can have several scenarios describing how the girl fell for the boy. But to make the boy to fall for her, she must be charming

Most of Yea Forums hasn't read Heaven's Feel now

This, I think Saber is the best as a character and as a waifu but Sakura is very good

Rin is a way weaker version of Aoko all around there is not much to say about her sure there is the magus/ordinary life dilemna but it was so forgetable until HF, so many scenes could have been good for her like the one when Kotomine reveal to her that he killed her dad but it felt rushed.

Most Fate fans haven't read the VNs. Worse yet, a chunk of fans basically only know Fate through GO.

The new anime adaptations were more favorable to her than Rin. If we go by VN alone, Rin is far superior.

I'm guessing it had a lot to do with Dark Sakura?

We all know sakura is a titty monster, but what about her butt?

>Only secondaries hate newfags hate Sakura
Okay fag. I guess slaughtering and torturing innocent people for petty shit is just fine then. Or killing innocent priest who saved her life against all odds.

Sakuras a shit, only thing Shinji did wrong was not killing her.

The HF movies have been toning down what a cunt Rin is, though.

>slaughtering and torturing innocent people
>innocent priest
Case in point. Read the VN.

You again with your Kotomine retardation.

By that point he was working in TypeMoon. If you check Fate/Prototype, the tone and ideas were far different from what we got.

And I admit, I enjoyed the original King Arthur but the Gilgamesh Noble Phantasm wasn't as cool as what we got in his modern version.

What would Sakura be like as a waifu/wife? Would a date with her be fun?

Didn't Gil die to some bullshit in fate prototype?

Even Satan isn't worse than kirei

Yeah I think he got drowned because his noble phantasm could cause the Great Flood or some shit. All I remember was that Saber couldn't use his noble phantasm because it was sealed unless there was a great threat to the world. It was also a lot more powerful.

So in a way, Gilgamesh got the ending we saw happen to Rider in Fate.

Wholesome and fun but sterne regarding your children, cause that's how you raise them for the best
Sakura is basically housewife jeanne, without the war and hatred for Anglos

Kinda disappointed they made the masturbation scene so short in the movie, it was wonderfully creepy in the VN.

I hope they go for an alternate true end in Spring Song, the one in the VN with the puppet body was weird and I don't like long-haired Sakura.

Really? I wanted to fap in the movie theater during that scene. I found it delightful because it didn't stop too much on it and made it obvious what Sakura's issue was.

Same with the tongue licking and sex scenes. The fact they don't show all the nitty gritty details makes it more erotic.

WTF user! I OPENED THIS AT WORK AND NOW MY BOSS WANTS ME TO SEE HIM IN HIS OFFICE LATER!!!

It's honestly hilarious how every manga or doujin ever has the phrase "my body is moving on it's own" since like 2010

You want the truth. In the 00's I liked to shit post a lot more. I was a teenager on Yea Forums these things happen. Sakura was my least liked girl, and people always responded. Eventually trashing her became boring and repetitive, so I stopped doing it. She's still the girl I like the least, but I have no real negative feeling towards her. Still will tell you at any point Kohaku is better at the villainous 'evil' heroine role.

Simple, user. Just show him the picture and suck his dick. After he's satisfied he can help you relax all that pent up sexual frustration while you two watch Sakura hentai together.

This but because I want them to expand more on Shirou and Sakura's life after the holy grail war, and maybe even how Sakura felt while waiting and when Shirou returned.They can also kill off Rider, but I don't care much either way

For those that also watch isekai trash. What would you say are the main differences between Sakura and this oni? I've always found them to be similar dere archetypes.

Attached: buus2bombwy21.jpg (720x1040, 86K)

I never felt like the point of Sakura was to be a villain heroine, I see the time she's dark Sakura as the part of the VN where she's allowed to go loose, retaliate against those who hurt her and show how much repressed anger she has accumulated over the years. We get to see other facets of her.

>I hope ufotable doesn't go bankrupt before they finish it

Why is Nasu unironically embarrassed of his older writings (including Stay/Night too) and wants nothing to do with them? He said it in an interview that looking back up on his past works he has no idea how he could have written them with a straight face

His writing from back then seriously needed improvement, there's no mystery in htat, developing good writing ability takes a lot of work and time to cultivate, his actual literary ability now is hopefully leagues above what he had back in 2004

>wearing all black and red and master of corrupted edgy Saber
>not meant to feel villainous
user, even if we don't want to call her the bad guy properly it takes a lot of work to widdle around those aesthetics.

You have a thread

It's certainly odd. I like Tsukihime and KnK a bit better than F/SN, to be frank.

>Why does Shirou love Sakura??
Really? I think the VN takes it as a given that people would understand why a guy who'd love a pretty girl he has a warm, couple-like relationship with. Their relationship isn't something that is born through conflict in the story, it's already setup and needs a confirmation, a push. And HF is about the depths of his feelings for her. There's obviously more to it than her being physically attractive, that just tells us Shirou would have sex with her like any healthy male would if not for x excuse.

Imagine being so autistic that you search every image to see if they post on other boards

I'm more surprised someone who browses fate threads from Yea Forums would post in a thread about a fate game. Truly shocking

This.
I hated Sakura as soon as she wished for Shirou to get hurt so he couldn't leave her.
Psycho bitch.

What I mean is that Kohaku felt like more of a villain because she actually had a plan and carried it out; she was the mastermind behind the bad tings that happened. She was the big bad so to say. In Sakura's case, she's a villain for like 20% of the story, and even while she's supposedly the villain she murders 3 of the villains who actually had bad intentions and their plans were to wreak havoc throughout the whole story. She never felt like more of a villain than Zouken or Kirei.

Fuck, I don't know if I conveyed what I feel properly, but she barely feels like a villain to me despite her position, colour scheme or whatever. I don't feel like she was intended to have a villanous heroine role.

>Fuck, I don't know if I conveyed what I feel properly, but she barely feels like a villain to me despite her position, colour scheme or whatever. I don't feel like she was intended to have a villanous heroine role.

Nasu said that she's a victim.

A lot of writers look back on their old work and wonder what the fuck they were thinking.

Yeah, that's basically her role. I'm just trying to explain why I don't even see her as villain despite kinda being the big bad at the end.

So he wouldn’t get killed by Zouken, speedreader.

To be fair, FGO is pretty cancerous and preys on the lowest common denominator

AM is the big bad, she's an unfortunate victim who was even brainwashed, considering she intended to blow herself up with him.

God Sakura looks so fucking hot in this one.

Yeah I'd say she's more of a victim. It's not like she intended to become the mother of all evils in the world. All the time she tries to resist Zouken and Kirei's plans but in the end it proves too much for her.

I'd say antagonist is more adequate.

I know Angra is the big bad, but she's a villain for some time. I actually don't know whether she was brainwashed. If her hatred was amplified enough, and she thought Tohsaka had "stolen" Shirou from her, I could see her want to blow up the earth.

>God Sakura looks so fucking hot
She always does.

Here's a quote from the VN:
>"You should keep things simple. Like how that shadow isn't Sakura's subconscious. That's what Zouken said, but the shadow is attacking people because that's its nature. Sakura…It's not something she wished for."

Here's a quote from Nasu:
>Sakura is a symbol of loss and betrayal. It was important that people didn't perceive her as a villain, though, because we intended her to be more like a victim or sacrifice.

>It (Normal End) was the only conclusion considered at the time. However, after writing about 2/3 of it, I found that the story itself did not allow such a conclusion. After that, I wrote the original conclusion, and then followed the story and write the happy end. Since this was Shirou's tale of happiness after losing so much, even if Saber and Illya were lost, at least he should let Sakura achieve happiness. And this was the conclusion. Even though Sakura indirectly became a mass murderer, there was no reason to deny her of happiness. I came up with this idea that if one were alive, it was not bad to redeem him/herself while looking forward to happiness. Even though this was hypocrisy, I felt that the story itself strongly demanded this possibility. To be honest, it was the first time that I lost to the story I wrote.

>Nasu: Yes, its plot was created with porn in mind.

>Takeuchi: The image of those worms became too strongly attached to Sakura, and I think we did a pretty mean thing to her. ...We're making "Fate/hollow ataraxia" now, but even in that, there's been talk of how it'll be hard to dispel Sakura's negative image...

>Nasu: Aww, I don't think there's any need to dispel it, though. Isn't it alright for worms to just be part of Sakura?

I'd say antagonist. She goes against Shirou and has her issues with the world but usually she isn't like that. As you mention, Angra amplifies her desires and brings out the worst traits of her.

That is to say, she's still resentful and jealous, but by that point, wouldn't you be?

>That is to say, she's still resentful and jealous, but by that point, wouldn't you be?
I actually think she's an incredible representation of someone who isn't allowed to fulfill their potential and has endured a lot of abuse. People who want to have some moral high ground are full of shit.

True. She could have been in Rin's place as the Tohsaka competitor for the Holy Grail and become a great magus due to her specialty. But instead she gets sent to be tortured as a child and has her circuits eaten by a foreign crest that also weakens her affinity, never learning any magic and being constantly abused and demoralized.

I'm a little curious about what Tohsaka Sakura would have been like. We saw from her route that she got exceptional mental endurance, with a little focus and support I wonder what she could do and how her personality would change. I just can't see her being tsundere like Rin.

Also, would she still fall for Shirou?

Yea Forums is an LGBT free zone

Like the other guy said, basically an ojou that would occasionally tease. You can catch some glimpses of what her personality would've been like in HF, before HA delves into that more.

I don't know if she'd fall for Shirou, but I'm having trouble coming up with a situation that isn't kinda asspully for Sakura to even meet Shirou. Shirou would likely be into her, since she'd be the idol of the school in Rin's stead, but I don't know if she'd start doing archery without the matou influence or Shirou, and they went to different classes.

It's not an LGBT doujin.

(She's an E cup, shirou)

Why are sakurafags so calm and sophisticated compared to R*nfriends?

Taiga comes to approve of all the girls in time, it's just that Sakura's already had her trial by Taiga.

Taiga approves of those with the biggest bosom

Even Shinji eluded to just as much: "No way, how does she keep growing?!"

They'd probably just ohohohoho together if the Apocrypha timeline is an indication.
Kind of funny that Rin loses the battle of dominance while Sakura gets full sister status with Luvia whenever they actually know each other.

It's only realistic for you betas, only we chads could understand what it's like having girls faun over us

*unrealistic

Yeah, I prefer an aggressive bitches who just so happen to be pure blushing virgins lusting only for my loser self-insert's dick. Now that's realistic.

>Before that, my only experience with Fate was through Deen''s adaptation and I found her nice but boring
It's kind of hilarious that DEEN handled Sakura and foreshadowing for Heaven's Feel better than Nasu did. In canon, Medea's

In DEEN's Fate, she just grabs the actual, existing Grail Vessel, who is right there wandering around making Shirou breakfast. Which gives Sakura a role, any kind of role, in a route other than HF, and also foreshadows the massive context-changing information that arrives in HF.

Fuck me, in UBW Gilgamesh kidnaps a Matou ex-Master to turn them into a Grail Vessel, and Rin risks her life to rush in and save them. Imagine how much more sense that sequence would make if he'd just picked a different Matou ex-Master - Sakura's ALREADY a Grail Vessel, and Rin would ABSOLUTELY want to save her.

>dark hair blue eyes sassy sakura
oh no she does things to me

I like Sakura's more smug/sadistic side, and it's crept out more and more often in later material, from Hollow Ataraxia to BB to Carnival.

>Do you think Shirou and Sakura's relationship is destructive?
What parts of Shirou's life AREN'T destructive?

And Taiga doesn't count.

>his ideals
Kiritsugu's ideals. And did those ideals make Kiritsugu happy?

Not that guy but Kerry was a ginormous manchild who would find a way to edge himself into stupidity with any ideals. Even Shirou at the beginning of the VN was more than Kerry ever was.
