Story arc

History

Sakura is the late daughter of Joachim and Juli Mizrahi. MOMO is modeled after her. She suffered from a Central Nervous System Disorder, which was believed to be connected to an unusual wave pulse within the U.M.N. Because of this she was unable to speak. The neural pathways recognizing the real world had been severed, making her unable to express herself. Juli had her treated at the Yuriev Institute, and her treatment was connected with the U.R.T.V. U.M.N. link training. Dmitri Yuriev believed that contact with the anti-U-DO waveforms within the U.R.T.V.s would be beneficial for her.

During one of these experiments, Rubedo, Albedo, and Nigredo dove into the subconscious domain and appeared in the closet of Sakura's bedroom. When they fall out of the closet she notices them. She is surprised, but also very happy that they are able to directly interact with her. After returning to the real world, Rubedo tells Juli that he was able to interact with her, and she asks him to tell him the things she says. In the real world, Juli taught Sakura how to play the piano and Rubedo witnessed the two of them together. Returning to the Subconscious Domain, Rubedo was able to speak with her further. Sakura was aware of her father creating MOMO, who was intended to be directly linked to Sakura so Sakura would be able to interact with her parents in the real world. The two talk further about the fact that Rubedo was developed as a weapon and doesn't have traditional parents. Sakura asks Rubedo to watch over her mother and MOMO, whom she considers to be her little sister. Rubedo says yes and she kisses him on the cheek. Sakura then died in the Subconscious Domain, sacrificing herself do save Albedo.

Episode II

When Jr. heads to the Space-Time Anomaly, visions appear to him of Albedo attacking Sakura, done in order to enrage him. She transforms into MOMO. She appears again later as Jr. is about to enter Red Dragon mode, telling him not to be afraid. After Jr. kills Albedo, Sakura appears to him again as he cries over his brother's death. She tells him to get up, that there are people waiting for him and to remember the promise he made her, to protect her "sister".

Episode III

Sakura Mizrahi

The girl upon whom MOMO was modeled.

The daughter of Joachim Mizrahi and Juli, upon whom MOMO was modeled.

Suffering from a congenital brain defect, she was unable to speak or communicate her feelings in the real world. While staying at the Yuriev Institute for treatment, she met Rubedo, who was in the middle of anti-U-DO training.

After showing Rubedo and Albedo a meaning to their lives beyond that of weapons fated to eventually disappear, she entrusted to them her younger sister who would later be born—a new consciousness named MOMO—and passed away.

Central Nervous System Disorder

A disorder afflicting Sakura.

An affliction where the circuitry that perceives the outside world and demonstrates one's inner feelings is fragmented, making one unable to express emotion or speak.

Thanks to the prevalence of the U.M.N., memories are now able to be shared as data; by overraeacting to the emotions and memories recorded there, one losses the ability to express one's own feelings.

Sakura suffered from this disease since birth, but it has also been known to develop spontaneously following excessive U.M.N. access.

It is certainty no exaggeration to say that the true consciousness of the victims of this disorder are floating through the cleft between the real world and imaginary space, that is, within the U.M.N.
