It's kind of annoying when people don't actually read the stuff they're quoting.
DnD alignment is not a good way to determine morality.
It's a game mechanic.
I even said that Shinji probably deserves to die in my post.
I am not defending Shinji.
I am saying that the DnD definition of the word Evil in relation to the alignment mechanic does not apply to him.
Look.Sakura is only "unstable" if we don't deal with her problems. And, regardless of what you want, some of us don't like ignoring main characters because they're a potential inconvinience....
She has been raped by worms for ten years.
You can't just snap your fingers and make her problems go away.
That sort of thing requires serious effort over many years and won't just disappear even then.
And you know what's a horrible time to attempt to undo severe mental trauma?
Right in a fucking Grail War.
And the HF route maid it very clear that Sakura only flipped out that much because she suddenly had something to cling to.
Sakura doesn't become more stable by dealing with her issues.
She becomes worse until they are properly addressed and dealt with.
And, as the HF also showed, attempting it during the Grail War ups the body count dramatically.
Right now she's in a stable equilibrium.
She'll just have to soldier through for a couple of weeks more.
All of which can be dealt with, once there aren't any demigods trying to kill us, Gods of Evil trying to destroy the world and Sakura can no longer become said God of Evil's meatpuppet.Even if Zouken does get bumped-off, that still doesn't leave Sakura in a great position. She's still been abused for eleven years, Shirou knows nothing of that and nor does Rin.
