Also Yuna, Itsuki, and Fuu's terminals were created after the events of WaSuYu, and although Karin did inherit Gin's terminal, it wasn't upgraded at the same time Sonoko and Mimori's were, and was intended to be used once the new hero team needed support.]]

* Speaking of the Taisha what about the ones who gained instrumentality? They are now basically an abandoned wheat field in the middle of nowhere as far as the world knows outside of the Hero club and Aki-sensei. And unless by some sick ironic joke this is how Utano's dream of replanting the world once the vertex are gone is achieved. They are now essentially at the mercy of nature or some random guy who decides to harvest some perfectly good wheat just lying there not knowing its people. It's unlikely anyone in the hero club outside Yuuna would care to show mercy to basically learn how to take care of a field. And Aki-sensei has enough problems on her plate dealing with the fall of the Taisha.

* Aki-sensei's final fate. She essentially betrayed both her former students and left the Sentinels and humanity in general to die in the hopes of gaining instrumentality only to fail at the end. And as the SoleSurvivor of Taisha she will have the bad luck of getting stuck with the blame of the conspiracy by default. Even if the Hero club forgives her the adults will most likely not. And the Sentinels who already hate Aki-sensei's guts would gleefully lay down vigilante justice on her especially Mebuki who would not miss an opportunity for a CivilWar scenario with Karin. Aki-sensei will be forced to spend the rest of her days in hiding hoping that she won't get caught by people seeking revenge, former students wanting payback now that Taisha has crumbled, or even friends and family of Gin who can now engage in BestServedCold without Taisha's protection.

* It seems strange that Yuna, Fu, and Itsuki's hairs become toned to their theme colors when they transform but Mimori and Karin's hairs only slightly change. That's because [[spoiler:Mimori and Karin have the first hero terminals that were upgraded with the Mankai system, with Mimori's terminal from her time as Sumi and Karin's being originally owned by Gin. This is further evidenced by Sonoko who has her terminal upgraded the same time as Sumi's and also has her hair become slightly darker rather than have a purple hue]].

*** Interestingly, this also extends to when Mimori was [[spoiler:Sumi Washio. The first thing Sumi lost was her ability to walk, which was because the new Hero terminal traded in her bow for a sniper rifle. She wouldn't need to be running around like she used to since the gun requires the user to remain stationed and have precise aim. Now the next thing the Shinju took was her memories up to that point. It may seem strange that the Shinju decided to take one of their two heroes out of commission, but remember that everything after the events of ''WaSuYu'' was set up by the Taisha. Sumi lost her memories so that she could befriend Yuki Yuna and become a hero again without knowing about the Mankai system. Sonoko was powerful enough that she could take out the army of Vertexes on her own (at a heavy cost), so the Shinju decided to keep Sumi active so that she could join another team.]]

** Yuki loses her ability to taste, which is awful for a girl that desperately loves food and comments the most about the taste of the food she eats. However, by giving her this disability, the tree prevents her from having any severe limitations to battle at all. This is important because although Yuki isn't the 'leader', she is the one with the most battle prowess.
** Mimori loses her ability to hear, which for a girl who already can't walk is shown taking special care to listening to music, even more than the future singer in the group. However, as a sniper, not being able to hear might actually be a minor blessing as it will allow fewer distractions to affect her shooting. Also, it is important to note that Mimori is the tactician of the group, and is generally giving hints to take down the Vertex, not receiving hints.
** Fu loses her ability to see in one eye, and while this girl is generally the first to enjoy beauty (check the bridge scene in episode 1, she is clearly enamored) now she is limited to seeing it in only one eye. Think about it though, out of all of the girls, which one would have to deal with sight the least. The sniper would clearly need her eyes, the pugilist would need to see attacks from the side, and the girl who has (essentially) a string trap weapon would need to see three dimensional layouts of the forest. The only one who would not need both eyes is the swordswoman, whose sword can literally change sizes as she sees (no pun intended) fit. She has the weapon with the least amount of optical inspection.
** Itsuki loses her ability to talk, or vocalize at all. This is, of course, a very powerful blow to the team, as the Itsuki had finally decided to start singing in a professional sense. There is an entire 3 episode arc of the anime that deals with this loss, as it is considered the most unfair outcome of the lost senses/abilities.
