I'm being facetious, I have no idea.

I would like to know why Rider's Bloodfort affected Sakura, though. It seems really bizarre given Rider's intentions and the fact that she would disappear without Sakura (so even for Shinji, killing Sakura is dumb).
Sakura realized what was going on and felt guilty because it's technically her fault so she sent herself into a coma like she did in HF that one time she attacked Shirou with shadows.

The questions that people will ask are not mostly going to be about the blue-ray, and nor is Nasu expecting them to be.
You seem oddly confident about that.

Remember, this is the anime that still refuses to call Gil anything but "blond Servant". It's not operating under the assumption that everyone has already read the route or even that everyone has seen Zero.

I still want to know what happens to Sakura post-Fate and UBW (which is actually a relevant question here, assuming the anime doesn't answer it). Whether he'll respond to that is another matter, though....
It's not really relevant to the blu-ray release of the first half of UBW, no.

I got bored by rin and turned off the episode.
I've been told that whenever Sakura comes onscreen you make noises that sound like Zouken's death moans. Jack was creeped out.

And I'm not bitter about it at all!

In the original, she thinks "I wish he wasn't here" because she knows he'll tell Shirou, and Shirou will end up breaking even more as a result. It's much more Shirou-centric.
See, I don't think that's the reason though. "Oh no, Senpai!" was the reason she was actively struggling at first, but the trigger for the shadow was rather the darker "nobody ever lets me be happy, I hate the whole world" thought train that came after she gave up.

Spoiler for Hiden:
Also looking at both versions, I'd disagree with Mike's assessment of Sakura's motivations in that scene. She wasn't thinking "well I have to kill my brother or Senpai will kill him and get sad". What happened was she gave up resisting and started thinking about how nobody would let her have her happiness and how she cursed the world for "hating her so much", and she finally just thinks "fuck it, I wish he wasn't here". THEN the shadow kicks in. This is the same in both versions.

So really she had no concrete motive in either version, it was just her going "this sucks, FML" and her shadow taking over from there. You can't even really call it intentional.

Mike, if you'd actually played it you'd know that Shinji threatening to "tell Shirou" doesn't even happen in the RN version (either in that scene or the earlier ones). You're criticizing something you haven't actually looked at (I remember you making this same criticism of this scene before either of us even had access to RN).

Personally I think the RN version of HF is a lot less awkward/tasteless so I'd recommend the non-H version! but what do I know, people have different tastes

I thought you said you were doing a thing with the H scenes removed but with the rest of the RN censorship removed. Some people might want to remove the H scenes, that doesn't mean they want Sakura's character totally mangled by shitty censorship....

Using the description "H-free version" for the full RN thing is misleading, and will con people into reading the shitty censored version that totally fucks up Sakura's backstory and characterisation, and they have no way of even knowing that there is a better version there.
Love you too, Mike!
