An adorable chibi Narankura that Naomi (thebigblackdevil5 on DA) made for me as part of an art trade back in 2021, I just forgot to post it on here. <3

I love the outfit she gave Sakura especially, it suits her so well~

Finished kissu for @strawberry-metal has arrived!!

I liked the sketchy lines, so I didn’t do smooth lineart. I figured with the sketchy lines I could go for a more frosty look in the end in terms of colors and further editing.

I hope you like it Sha!!

At what point did Narancia realize his feelings for Sakura are genuine romantic love, as opposed to a strong crush/infatuation?

Very quickly actually! Before the Death Loops, the Bucciarati squad helped care for her while she was overcharged from her magic to the point she could barely even move. Through caring for her, this is probably the point where he realized he was in love with her and it wasn't just a simple crush. He even went as far as to find her favorite flowers, Irises, for her to help cheer her up even when they were out of season, literally looking everywhere for some. The next day after getting the flowers, they went on their first date~

Other than Diavolo himself, what enemies were the most likely to trigger Narancia's yandere side in each time-loop?

Diavolo was the big bad and the one that Sakura was most involved with, so the other enemies weren't so big of a threat to her specifically and more so Bucciarati's team themselves more than anything. However, there were some street thugs that tried to get the jump on the witch when she was in an exhausted, and shocked state after one of the resets, to which she was rescued by a very angry Nara.

Another instance was a misunderstanding with Risotto. Anytime Sakura resets, she will appear close to her destination, which was Bucciarati's squad. One time when she did this, she ended up in the sky due to them being in a plane, and plummeted down to the ocean. This was in the beginning of the loops, so she wasn't used to this magic yet and it quickly drained her, and she used this consecutively, and ended up fainting on the spot. Risotto was nearby and fished her out. After he got her to cough out the water in her lungs and regain consciousness, he escorted her to a hotel before turning invisible and leaving, to then go find Doppio. Narancia was watching them, and barged in through the door with knife in hand but was too late. Sakura explained to him what really happened and he calmed down. He originally thought he was trying to coarse her into...*cough* well you know. But that wasn't the case at all. This is the only reset that Risotto isn't killed by Narancia in.

If Sakura were more involved outside of trying to save their lives, the groups that the boss sends after the squad after the betrayal would be the ones most likely to bring out his yan side.

What was, or at least would be, Narancia's most extreme reaction in any of the time loops in which Sakura dies? What would be his reaction to someone else outright trying to make any kind of move on her?

Sakura's powers were transfered to Narancia the moment she died as she already performed a ritual on him for the transfer of powers should she ever die. It was a last ditch effort should she die in the loops, of which she does, a total of three times to be exact. (She does regret this though as she feels like she forced the warlock life on him, even if Narancia tries to reassure her that she didn't and he's fine with this.) The first time he had a complete meltdown, he recongnized her the moment he saw her, as he again, retained memories from the loops. Upon her death he gained her powers and was officially now a warlock. He was going to give up then and there...but he rememered the sigil she would always create to go back in time. So...he did this, and went back to save her and warn her of what's going to happen to her. This is the part of the Death Loops where we shift from Sakura's perspective to Narancia's.

As for the reaction on trying to make a move on her... he will try to control himself the first time and tell the initiater that she's already in a relationship with him. Should they continue, he will warn them one more time in a more angry tone and tell them to back tf off and leave her alone. Still continuing? Wow... guess words won't work then and only his fists or knife will.
