Aika really didn't plan or device anything. She simply heard the future from Hakaze, which has the result that she desires.
To Aika, she knows that future is guaranteed if she is dead. So, why not? Instead to choose life and bet on a new uncertain future, why not choose something that is already set in the stone? After all, she values her duty over other things in her life. I won't say she made the best choice, but the choice is certainly consistent to her character. |

The current chain of events caused by her death has caused the Core to be revealed. It is not certain for sure this would have come to pass if she lived. Should she have tried some other path? Maybe...but would it have worked is much less certain. Quote:
The other course of action may not even result in the chance to fight the Genesis Tree

The reason why the infighting between Hakaze and the rest of the clan stopped is because Yoshino and Mahiro's intervention gave both sides time to figure out the truth with their own devices. Between fighting by herself or with very few allies and fighting with two intelligent boys and the entire Kusaribe clan on her side, I think it should be obvious which one gives the world better odds. |

Basically let's see if Mari Okada messes up the last 2 episodes or not. At times like this I wish they didn't use episode 13 for a recap.

Seriously - in the fight against the Tree of Genesis, the key piece is the Mage of Exodus. Everyone else is a sideshow. So it's a choice between Hanemura and Aika. I say we take the one with guts. Besides, most of the Kusaribe acted against the Tree before they even learned of Aika's existence. So at worst? They lose Hakaze. A loss which would be more than compensated for by having Aika on board. |

Even Mahiro right now thinks Hanemura is more than capable of fighting against the Tree of Genesis Quote:
The main point of Aika's sacrifice though, is that her death guarantees the appearance of the Tree of Genesis' core. Aika knows that destroying the core is the only way to defeat the Tree, but unless it is revealed we don't know if she could be capable of eradicating the Tree of Genesis even if she is as powerful as she is. There could be alternatives that might have worked but the quickest way which guarantees the core's appearance is through her death and that's why she decided that was the best plan.

I don't know why you would think humans are simple enough to believe everything without proof. You're also not giving Hakaze enough credit, considering she is the one who awakened all the Exodus Tree fruits so the Mage of Exodus can use his/her full power. Do you honestly think this is a solo effort after everything the characters have experienced? I don't think Aika would like having Mahiro or Yoshino's children die either. |

We don't really know how things could play with Hakaze as a threat although Aika could win against her in a fight. Hakaze was a very proud person and only the tragedies and love changed her. Quote:

I thought the main reason Aika did what she did was in order to secure Yoshino's and Mahiro's survival. If she survived, there is no guarantee of their survival, since the Tree of Genesis might find a way to kill them. At least with the current path, they have survived. I thought that was the underlying, most important reason for her.

2- It doesn't matter. The Kusaribe magic is unusable near the tree, the government weapons just feed it (not that they have the government's cooperation now), and Aika's strong enough to just punch through whatever blockade the world powers put in her way. The Kusaribe and Evangeline's friends may be useful for the secondary objective of killing the tree without human bloodshed, but that's about it. That's why I said the real choice was between Hanemura and Aika. Whatever allies they each would have don't count. Quote:
