| “ | Saori, I wanted you to suffer as much as I did. Because I thought that was fair. But at the same time, you probably wanted to be saved as much as I did. You would also want to be happy. As much as I hoped. Saori, I know the reason why you are obsessed with Atsuko. Even if you deceived countless people and drove them into despair, if you could save someone in the end, there was such a wish that your miserable life of suffering could be saved by that too. that's it I know. Because Seia-chan was like that too. Yeah, so, Arius Squad, I'll pray for you. As much as I wanted my pain to go away, I want your pain to go away. As much as I longed for a second chance... … I hope you have a chance next time. As much as I longed to be forgiven, so I will forgive you. I think that's a better ending than <fair>. | „ |

What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
- Mika, fitting the theme of Trinity that is angels and etiquette, is an innocent teenager who happens to be one of Trinity's student council presidents. Like most Trinity students, Mika hates Gehenna Academy, Trinity's opposing school, which sources from the long past. However, her hatred is just that, an emotion with no actual backing or reason, not to mention, given how many students in Trinity, like Hasumi, harbor this hatred, it's likely possible she thought this was the norm. Unfortunately, this got the best of her and led to her decision to cooperate with Trinity's exiled branch, Arius Branch School, to attempt a coup and cancel the ongoing Eden Treaty, a peace treaty between Trinity and Gehenna.
- It was revealed that Mika actually originally intended to reconciliate with Arius since they used to be a part of Trinity, but her opinion was undermined by the other Tea Party members due to her lack of understanding of its pros and cons, since Mika isn't exactly politically adept. However, her reconciliation plans were manipulated by Arius' student council at that time, Beatrice.
- Her plans for reconciliation would luckily be carried on by Nagisa and Trinity in Volume 6.
- While the admirable standards of Blue Archive are pretty high, she still manages stand out due to her selfless actions, subverting all of her corrupting qualities, and as of now, having less resources.
- Though her plans of reconciling with Arius involved having to take down her friends Seia Yurizono and Nagisa Kirifuji, the other student council presidents, she was upfront about not actually wanting to kill them. However, hearing news that her friend Seia was supposedly killed by Arius, she tried to rationalize the situation by continuing to take control of Trinity, as she believed she couldn't go back.
- Upon realizing that Seia was alive, she canceled her rebellion plan and chose to surrender and go into prison. When interrogated by people, especially by Hanako Urawa, one of the frontline witnesses of Mika's coup attempt, Mika insisted everything was simply derived from her irrational hatred towards Gehenna, including her attempt to eliminate her childhood friend Nagisa, despite all the evidences provided by Hanako that stated Mika was being impulsive.
- While in prison, members of the Pater faction staged another coup and released Mika so they could begin Gehenna's extermination, just like Mika wanted. However, despite the perfect opportunity to wipe Gehenna off the map, she said she "didn't feel like it", which caused the Pater Faction members to beat her up. Though she could easily overpower them, she chose to lay low.
- When she soon realized (after a direct confrontation) that both she and Saori weren't that different from each other, in the sense that both only wished for happiness but couldn't receive it since they believed they were villains. She would subvert every ounce of hatred and vengeance she had.
- She would help Saori, who was on the run trying to rescue her friend Atsuko Hakari, who was captured and about to be sacrificed by Beatrice. However, Beatrice (who was watching their presences the whole time) summoned her "Mimesis" army of the Saint Justina Council. Mika chose to sacrifice herself by leading the army away alone while the Arius Squad went ahead to save their friend.
- While leading the Saint Justina Council army away, Mika found an old gramophone. Somehow, the gramophone started playing "Kyrie Eleison", or a song of forgiveness. she sang the song and prayed for Saori and the Arius Squad, forgave them and was willing to sacrifice her life for them. Thankfully, she was rescued by Sensei.
- During an Emergency School Representative Meeting that occurred on the Final Volume, Mika happened to be in the same room as Gehenna's student council president, Makoto Hanuma, who was being naturally rude to Mika and all present Trinity members. while she admit throwing a chair, she calmed herself down after being told not to do it by Seia.
- Not to mention, it was justifiable and understandable, as Makoto is just as guilty as she was in Volume 3 and rarely gets punished for her actions.
- During the Final Volume, she would rescue Koharu Shimoe, who was surrounded by Mimesis while trying to protect other students. Mika, despite her current reputation as a "witch" by other Trinity students, she chose to rescue her anyway, even if it meant she was going to be ridiculed by those around her.
- In one of her Relationship Stories, her school swimsuit was torn apart by other students who despised her. Though she nearly lashed out at them, she managed to take a hold of herself before hurting them and voluntarily sent herself to detention.
- All in all, despite her initial incapability to think things through and impulsiveness leading to her downfall, along with being easily manipulated by others, allowing people like Beatrice to use her emotions to wreak havoc, she deeply regretted her actions and she chose to persevere because she believed couldn't go back to her old student life after being labeled a murderer, and while her remorse and guilt is barely sufficient to make up for her past evil deeds. After being given a second chance, she made attempts to repair and improve herself, so she doesn't become a nuisance to others, even willingly taking punishments.
- In Serenade Promenade, she hesitantly takes action against the Remedial Knights and the Sisterhood when it was rumored that they plan on overthrowing the Tea Party. Only nearly doing so because of the pressure Nagisa was putting on her. And while she nearly did, it can't because consider her fault since Nagisa was ordering her to do so. Not to mention, she was mostly confused.
- And even when everything got cleared up, she didn't harbor any anger on Nagisa and instead told her that they should both leave as it was for the best and plans to have a little talk with her. Further showcasing how much she has grown and not let her impulsiveness get the best of her.
- In The Promise of The Summer Sky, unlike Ichika and Hasumi who were determined to attack the students of their school's worst enemy, Gehenna, Mika would always keep them in check rather than joining them. This was all in an effort give her friends, Nagisa and Seia, a great vacation. And once again shows how much she has grown as a character.
Trivia[]
- Given that Mika is one of the incarnations of Archangel Michael, she is the only Pure Good version of Archangel Michael.
- Ironically enough, Archangel Michael has two Pure Evil verisons. Also, Mika has a completely opposite personality than those two. (Especially when comparing her to Michael from the Lucifer drama version, Mika's pure goodness is even more evident.) and she is only version of Villainous Archangel Michael to be Pure Good while the vast other Villainous Archangel Michael's are Pure Evil.
- During the Final Volume, scenes from the "Bad Timeline" was revealed, where Sensei was incapable to intervene with the things happening in the world, which led to the deaths of many, including the intervention of Seia's death caused by Mika's coup. This caused Mika to genuinely went uncontrollably insane and going on a bloody rampage. Thankfully, it was successfully subverted in this timeline, meaning Mika didn't have to undergo that unfortunate experience.
- She and Aris are the only Blue Archive characters to be Pure Good.
- She is one of the few rare Pure Goods to be Faux Affably Evil and a villain by choice before redeeming.
