Being the newest member of the Flower Division wasn稚 exactly easy for the naive newcomer. Sakura had to overcome her inexperience and prove herself to her comrades in order to gain acceptance within the group. In the end, however, she proved herself a loyal friend and worthy asset of the Flower Division- both on the stage, and on the battlefield. Operating her Koubu was one of her most difficult challenges. Her inability to control the mecha, combined with her enormous spiritual power, led to some chaotic incidents whenever she attempted to operate the Spirit Armor. But at this, too, she managed to overcome adversity and rise to the challenge as a proficient pilot.
