User blog comment:AquilaeAltair/OnS Theories. Nineteenth Theory - Shinoa's feelings. Something Shikama Doji, the devil himself cannot manipulate./@comment-2602:304:4D9C:6299:4030:228:72EA:EBA7-20190420134913/@comment-36009152-20190519235847

I agree, Montell Riles (me) ! Shinoa has demonstrated throughout her early childhood that she possesses the inner power to constrain her demon. Even though Shikama Doji has tapped into her inner feelings and got what he wanted so far, the resolve is still there and can come back into effect. No reason why she cannot just slam the door shut again XD

Then as you say there is also backup from not just Yu, but Shinoa’s own squad and other comrades. Kimizuki remembers his sister when Kiseki-o tried to use her in an illusion to gain control. Yoichi remembered his and that gave him the motivation to not stay hidden, rather fight against foes. Yu always remembered the real Mika, and then focused solely on getting power not for revenge but getting him back.

The ties to close ones can and do overcome the worst of demonic possession. Shinoa has multiple people in mind who she would want to protect, not to mention extra being aware of what happened to Mahiru, that and Mahiru-no-Yo may come through for Shinoa.

She may need bucket loads of luck as well considering it is Shikama Doji, but got to believe it will be all good for Shinoa!
