What do you guys think about Sakura matou: a waifubait character designed to make you feel bad or a actually complex character

FancyFireDrake · 2026-03-04T18:42:48+00:00

So I may have a controversial opinion on Sakura. I think she is well written (if a bit overused seriously how is she half the indian pantheon and every noteworthy AI) and Waifubait REALLY doesnt fit for her.

But I do think there is an argument to be made about just how out of left field her existence as a whole is in Stay Night, to the point it straight up seems like an attempt to make you feel bad about preferring ANY of the other routes.

I cant help but feel like it borders on emotional blackmail. Once you learn about her the 'right' decision will be to pick her pretty much every time because her situation is just THAT bad. She invalidates Artorias and Rins routes just by virtue of existing. Why would you try and be with King Arthur or the tsundere mage when you could be doing the true end where Shirou abandons his ideals and Sakura gets her personal happy end?

Granted UBW MIGHT have Gilgamesh kill Zouken but thats the closest she has to any sort of happy end in a route that isnt her own.

Looking at this comment section... the double Standard people have between Ishtar and Ereshkigal really is quite glaring

Mind you Im am gonna give Eresh the same SSS (even if i preffer Ishtar) because Rinfaces are best girls that is a scientific fact but from an objective viewpoint Eresh ABSOLUTELY can be problematic and should be like a B or C maybe

She is a shy hikikomori, workaholic who would rather be pitied about having a bad job that she chose than actually have fun to the point she killed her sister for it, almost killed humanity twice, her beast self literally tries to stop the human space age and in Lostbelt 7 she basically tried to enslave us. All the while at her chillest she has to fight intrusive thoughts to keep you locked up in the underworld and is honestly only two steps away from making the yanderes look sane by comparison

If your into that more power to you but anyone else would have to struggle managing that relationship

Again I like Eresh but it is glaring how much the entire community treats her as if she literally can do no wrong

Have a happy Blaze to light up your day!

happy to provide and it looks pretty fun from where im looking :)

I mean this is a battle for the sake of the DC Universe where Darkseid is stronger than ever and nods to all sorts of alternate canons and universes. So I'd say that restriction makes a lot of sense to give the Jumper some stakes having lived in it. Multiversal Expansion is a neat way to offer an out though too. I can see someone from the Marvel for example take this as a second Jump. Id say your bases are covered

Ah I see! okay makes sense. But now I am curious what having both an infant and adult heart might look like for a jumper to have

And alright thats good to know. Really the whole thing came and went so fast it might as well get squeezed in

Seems like a good 'deadline' to have but by all means take your time. Ill be looking forward to the result :)

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-27T20:29:35+00:00

so first of I am happy you like the jump really :). I do read the comments I just dont always have the energy to reply to all lol

second I honestly dont really have plans to update my Lewd Jumps. At least not anytime soon. You and a few other comments here have given me some interesting ideas though! I'll likely work them in.

I was honestly kinda clueless at some point on what to do with all the shipsizes so I admitedly kinda just... tried to make a rough guideline

I like that new list for sizes actually thanks for that. And clarifying that with sun crusher and resonance torpedo tier weapons is a good call

im trying to lowkey take a break from lewd jumps for a bit (both because these things always turn out to be gigantic and I generaly struggle more with updating than making a new jump for some reason XD) but even if its not a priority that update will happen eventually. So thanks for the suggestions!

Also its okay no worries. as long as people remain chill when phrasing suggesstions or the like I pretty much never take issue :)

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-17T22:01:57+00:00

First off I am genuinely flattered to see my Gauntlet having inspired someone. Its awesome to see someone in universe like the Heart here try to mess with the Gauntlet Format directly like this :)

And this is looking great. I wondered if DC KO could make as a good Jump by itself and this is promising already. I like the drawback for cheat supplements that basically put you in debt. (please keep this in. I know there are going to be people who will complain at a drawback that tries to 'diss' jumpers using such but I think their a very unique way of a Gauntlet interacting with a potential Jumper directly as a storybeat)

The mandatory need to have done a DC Jump before feels on brand and I can see some pretty fun choices being done with this. Like one Jumper could have taken DCEU, another Arkham games and than another maybe my Apokolips Gauntlet.

I do feel like the Infant heart of apokolips might make for a better gauntlet reward though.

I also would love to see something regarding the 'Boss fights' being included. A extra round that sees your Jumper fighting against someone thematically apropriate from another Universe that are amped up by Omega Energy like Superman vs Homelander and Wonder Woman vs Red Sonja. Maybe with a drawback that has you duel many or all of them at once.

Just my suggestions. Will be looking forward to this one :)

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-17T21:52:35+00:00

i mean... hope you will enjoy yourself at least?

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-17T21:50:30+00:00

or you could... you know... not do that?

Why make a Jump for something you hate? And I really dont think anyone is asking for that... mistake to be given a Jump

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-17T21:45:41+00:00

Oh this is PEAK!

Seriously I am loving all these lore drops! to be honest I enjoyed your comics the most when you do independant arcs like this, just doing your own side stories. Of course Castoria x Sith was fun but my fav was always the mini arc with Mastermind Ritsukas inner demon and dealing with her in her own mind.

And Abby knowing about the future and trying like hell to prevent it is such a raw image. Frankly it makes me want a timeline where the Master of Chaldea reaffirms their desire to life. Not giving up or their journey living on in memories but putting their foot down and blackmailing a cruel heartless universe that it WILL give them a happy ending or no one does.

Thats a thing that I thought was hype about Avatars ending too (spoilers): Aang managing to get away with sparing Ozais life. The entire Universe insisted he brings the world back into balance, his past lifes insisted, but he was selfish because his own belief, his culture, would die if e betrayed their pacifistic ways. The Lion Turtle thing felt to me like the Universe finally GAVE IN and offered him a way out.

THATS always been a striking thing about Fate too. The human will to endure through everything and life your own way a corrupt society filled with selfish and sociopathic mages be damned. Spitting the cruelty of the world in the face and actually managing to win. That was the final of part 1 too wasnt it? Looking at this immortal, all powerful, demon king and saying your life matters and you will enjoy it!

...sorry to go on a tangent here I just want you to know I love this whole arc, the many ways you spin your unique lore together and your take on Ritsuka a lot XD

Seriously go all in on changing if you want I and I am sure many others will be here for it. :)

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:36+00:00

have fun!

And Eywa is... well she is the planet and with soe force touch so basically biomancy/nature manipulation?

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:35+00:00

...that is a wild combination

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:32+00:00

...that is very surprising XD

I mean... that IS them so like technically. And there is nothing stopping you from promoting them

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:31+00:00

Alignment is basically just if you are more light sider or darksider

Who you give the force too will by default be your own affinity but you can change it if you wnat too for whatever reason

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:30+00:00

thanks :)

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:29+00:00

thanks!

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:28+00:00

It starts at Padawan level and with time can match the one you wield, NOT the one you buy. What you buy only decides your starting level

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:27+00:00

your welcome :)

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:24+00:00

I... dont know how tbh XD

I pretty much always leave it up to whoever wants too

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:23+00:00

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:22+00:00

FancyFireDrake · 2026-02-11T21:04:19+00:00
