Of course, Saito launching his attack, and also taking steps to ensure Yu could be defended both from Shikama Doji, and his own army. That is some excellent planning indeed from Saito! Which means Yu is even more pivotal to whatever the end plans are.

As for this Michaela trait, that might not be Saito's jurisdiction. It is presumably important but maybe Saito does not know the full extent of it hence why those having it have kind of been left to the side. Though he has delayed Urd Geales perhaps this other second progenitor will be the one to make use of the Michaela trait. The story could lead to pitting Yu against Mika if leverage is needed against Shikama Doji, but that's just speculation.

With Sika Madu's goal, always the possibility it has been lost to him with his current state, and that he is just out to attack anything.
