I must question the plausibility of Sakura ever being able to master Angra Mainyu. She has nothing close to the willpower or ego of Gil. There is no possible way for her to master it.

Ego, no, certainly not, but I'm not so sure about willpower. Sakura has a lot of willpower.

But, why would Sakura be able to flat out ignore All the Evils of the World? In canon, Gil does it because of his massive ego, but how would Sakura be able to?

Ego, no, certainly not, but I'm not so sure about willpower. Sakura has a lot of willpower.

Agreed on ego but not on willpower. Gil has incredible willpower, and, well, all of us have read FSN. "Willpower" is not what we think of when we think of Sakura (we think of passive, worm training, cooking, etc.). Sure, she has some, but not on Gil's level.

Because she has a lot of willpower, I presume, and a lot of time to do it.

Dude there is a difference between resisting the mental damage of the worms, and "All The Evils Of The World". Ego is also an extremely important factor. It is your sense of self, and no one has anything close to Gil's ego. Anyone else would just get swallowed up in AM.

I would like to respectfully point out that I was asking Lantz. However, I don't think Sakura can flat out ignore Angra Mainyu. It just doesn't make sense. She has some willpower, sure, and a lot of time, sure, but that wouldn't help her much against the combined might of every sin humanity has accumulated.

Ego, no, certainly not, but I'm not so sure about willpower. Sakura has a lot of willpower.

Anyone who thinks it's actually ego that does it for Gil is out of his face. Gil has completely inhuman willpower + 100% self-affirmation in his own existence, so that it cannot be clouded by a billion gazillion curses. So it's more Willpower + nothing being able to sully an existence as absolute as Gil's.

Sakura is insecure and not very confident in herself. She has the willpower to kinda-resist worm rape, but that's more the fact that she's so used to it by that point that it can't faze her that much any more. She'd buckle under from a fully-on AM mental attack faster than you can say "Senpai".

Keep your lies to yourself Brah.

Feel free to believe your own cancerous fanon, just like with 99.9% of the rest of your stuff, I'm just saying you're wrong.

You've misread that quote Mooncake, I was referring to the nasty, entirely false statement that I write bash fiction. She did not shrug it off, she choked it out slowly mastering it.

If she doesn't survive first contact like Gil can, she's dead as shit.

Erm, no, Sakura is just a very strong-willed person. If she wasn't then she would not be able to go against Zouken even expecting to be tortured for it.

Erm, nope. HF demonstrates quite conclusively that this is very definitely false. She resists AM for a long time.

Gil is water, AM is oil. Don't mix.

Sakura is... something that mixes with oil, AM is oil. They can mix, even if there is resistance.

Thus Sakura cannot master AM, AM will master Sakura.

So yeah, Law just murdered the shit out of someone in the center of town in cold blood for no reason other than 'He Wanted To.'

God I wish Gregori could see this.

She resists jack shit. AM is the full 6 billion curses, not the nagging of the Crest Worm + the Shadow making her feverish. AM corrupts Sakura completely in the matter of 2 weeks, at the VERY best on her end.

To give you the HF example, the reason Sakura has to immediately turn Gil into Prana is because his willpower is so great that he'd burst out of her after 5 seconds like the Kool-Aid Man.

AM corrupts Sakura after two weeks of constant fucking with her mind and a lot of other mental pressures. Without that she wouldn't have broken despire the strain.

To claim that Sakura doesn't have a lot of willpower is just utterly idiotic. You clearly do not understand her character one damn bit.

Your arguing that a Sakura still being fucked around with by Zouken would have the willpower to master AM.

Gil is water, AM is oil. Don't mix.

Sakura is... something that mixes with oil, AM is oil. They can mix, even if there is resistance.

Thus Sakura cannot master AM, AM will master Sakura.

Also this.
