Oh my wow that would be the most dreadful thing if it really does come to pass that Shikama Doji merges permanently, and a particularly drastic turn around after the good news with others coming back from the brink, such as Yoichi when he was possessed. Here we are thinking everything will be fine, then bam the awful scenario could come to pass! XD

Just as melancholic for Shinoa to go her own way at the end, open endings or when people come apart don't make for the happiest endings but some people don't mind them, so hey. Still, glad it feels great to at least get these possible situations out in the open to get to handles with.

Would absolutely want Shinoa to stay with the squad and those who care about her. The thing is, with Yu unconscious, everyone separated, Shinoa really does need to get it together.

In a fight with Shikama Doji in control, yes she has many advantages and she could win, but no way would she want to win and do anything serious to Yu. The most twisted battle imaginable really, Yu enraged by a seraph and Shinoa a puppet, two close people used as vassals by stronger powers to hurt one another. Pretty much, another part of a headcanon I'll update after the story comes to the end, is that even if Shikama leaves Shinoa's body, somehow I think she'll retain some of the abilities Shikama had. And that's why I think she'll take a trip to explore and see how she can help the world; somehow I believe Yu will survive along many humans; Kureto will be recognized as a hero for defending humans and personally, I think there will be a timeskip between the humans and Shinoa.

I hope for a happy ending but who knows
