For Sakura it is more a liability in how Daruma was for Atsuko
Although, she believes that she should see them as allies rather than take her under her wings, Team Hinabe has that respect in which they'll fight for Sakura. However, I wonder where Gekioko can stand with two of their group(s) being defeated. Although I predict that the three (Zakoboss Tsurishi and KY) will get used how Kurobara and Shirogiku were sent in.
Although the Otabe and Sakura fight will be epic. However, I do think Sakura will learn to not cock back the arm to defeat Otabe (for how this story goes

) and the surprise attack of Gekioko
