I can't really understand your post, but I assume you're asking if she's still got a right eye. And according to the manga version, the answer is YES!!!

No, I meant that her face looked much leaner than it usually used to.

(Questions like 'how could Ranka have known what Sheryl felt?' should be directed at Yoshino and Kawamori, though I assume it was due to the whole 'fold space' thing.)

Btw, are you sure Sheryl was fighting against dying? Because that's most definitely not what I got out of what she said and did in episode 24. She didn't want to die, sure, but I don't think she had her heart set on fighting against it.
But then you have to consider why Sheryl gave up, because she was dying and there was no cure (as far as Sheryl knew). It seemed more like by episode 25 Sheryl had accepted the fact that she was dying rather than simply giving up. There is no use in fighting something that cannot be fought, remember all of the doctors she had ever visited up to this point told her the same thing, they could merely prolong her life for a few months, but she was still gonna die. She was given no options.

There is also the fact that you have consider how Sheryl acted when she was acting, its not the behavior of someone who wants to die., but has none the less accepted that fact.

The point also still stands slapping someone who is going to die, and knows it doesn't help matters. You're not slapping any sense into them, because let's be serious here, how can you talk someone out of dying from a terminal illness of which there is no cure (as far as they know)? The scene was just badly handled. It doesn't change that they are dying, and will still be dying from said illness even after you slap them. It just makes you like a total idiot to the people around you.

Its very different from the scene when Sheryl, a terminally ill girl, slapped Ranka, a perfectly healthy girl whose heart was broken because she made an assumption that Alto, the boy she liked confessed to her, in a scripted flight show, and was giving up because of it. No matter which way you look at it, dying of a terminal illness and accepting the fact that your life is about to end>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ad infinity giving up because because the boy you like and think is confessing to you in a scripted flight show, is hugging another girl. Its stupid and its another example of Ranka's immaturity in the series itself.

Yeah, I know the comic is a different version and probably isn't canonical, but I still maintain that she DIDN'T lose her right eye, which was the big question looming over the final episode.

I really didn't try to say that she looked much leaner because of her eye. Actually, since that scene of Nanase awakening was put in for the DVD's, it might be the effect of the artist drawing that short scene... I noted quite clearly that all those little additions had a similar graphical style.

I totally agree with you. Nanase, as you say, has two eyes still intact at the end of the series, which (again, as you say) just increases her awesomeness.

Well, that's if you forget her third eye at the back of her head.

I stand corrected. Sheryl's the Queen...but Nanase's the Ultra-Queen.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Is that title determined by bust size? Also, Sheryl is no mere queen, but The Empress.

ALL HAIL THE EMPRESS SHERYL!

Burn the banana!
Kill the Vajra!
Purge the green!

I figured as much. But since you think Nanase is the best character ever, I'll forgive you.

Just don't let it happen again.
