Well she didn’t think she’d actually sacrifice herself, and kept saying for Mai to wait and don’t leave her.
i disagree, maki's biggest desire was to create a safe place for Mai. and because mai died before maki became strong enough to fight the zenin, mai never got to understand the love maki had for her.
Lol both of you guys are just imposing your own feelings onto the character. Maki cared about her sister, sure, but she's been pretty clear about what her goals are. And it was to take down the zenin because they underestimated and didn't accept her. Has nothing to do with Mai.
So we're not gonna talk about maki not even trying to stop mai from sacrificing herself? Mai's biggest love was for her sister, and Maki's biggest love is for her revenge and ambition.
