Her approach hasn?t changed. She still sees herself as someone who should be invincible, missing the whole point.

Her strength and power aren?t wielded with purpose or aim, they are wielded to not be weak. And that hasn?t changed, at least to me. That is why I feel this episode?s moral utterly contradicts itself. If she really understood her problem, she wouldn?t have said that.

I guess we just have different reads on what Sakura's doing at the end of the episode? I think Sakura's arrival at the end of Episode 12 is diametrically opposed to her arrival at the end of Episode 11: now she's been humbled, and she isn't here to defeat some adversary or prove her worth. She's here because she wants to help, and she knows what it's like to feel powerless; just like the woman she looked up to who needs her power to rescue her from a villain.

I feel like the moral is clear and compelling? To me, at least?
