Can someone help me out on this one, is the mina chan that died the original mina chan or the one they found buying juice?

What a weirdly abrupt ending. It's like the editor went on vacation for a couple months, the author went off the rails to do their robot free will/determinism/ethics of treating robots like people bit and then when the editor came back they were all "the hell is this? Wrap it up now."

it's the one they found buying juice.

the original is still the one holding on to Takuma to stop him from rushing in to help. Their hair styles were a bit different and I think the other one (Satsuki) had a different default expression on her face.

Thanks it has been a while since I read and IIRC they were switching with each other sometimes so got me confused

Man, can we just go back to cute husband and wife shenanigans like before? The direction of this manga has lost focus so hard the last few arcs, it's like the author has turned to political preaching over random subjects rather than cute robot waifu like it was at the start.

That and introducing every single possible variation of focus, ghosts, aliens, and so on.

I know it all was sad and all, but that last page really drives that the biggest problem for her is that she lost her replacement. She wanted Satsuki to be there when she did more dangerous stunts and now she's gonna need to adjust for that
I think that was the point. Satsuki knew that even if she and Mina are the same model, putting aside upgrades, she could never replace her, and she knew Takuma would never replace her previous owner/master.

With this sacrifice, Mina won't have a way out to act recklessly, even if it was for Takuma's sake, Satsuki would finally feel needed for the first time in a long while, and she could be in the same position as her previous owner's in after that.

Whats the point of the replacement
mostly to more directly build into the worries the Mina-chan from our protagonist has about her usefulness and how dispensable she is.

originally she wanted to have Satsuki be there in case she ever had an irreparable damage to her systems for one reason or another, but Satsuki still wanted to have her own place and purpose besides waiting to replace someone else.

the thing that kinda puzzles me right now is ... what is the bigger picture here? if all the rich girl robots are made to be their own existences, and also to have safeguards so that if they are tampered with they can alert about the possible activities they might be forced to commit...

is the guy who made those robots purposefully spying and sabotaging organizations that wish to harm human-robot relationships, specifically by using ones in the image of his ill daughter for that?

I guess the current purpose of making them must've changed to some extent, if he isn't using them to provide memories to his daughter (or at least not using all of them for that purpose), but it is weird that in order to protect the world he's trying to accomplish, he's using them in particular.

I was also going to argue a bit about only having them send a notice of terrorist intentions when the acts are being commited...but I guess they can't really pull that up for restrictions on their communication systems? I could understand some ethical concerns about the information that is transmitted, taking into account their autonomy in human relationship (until it involves commiting harm to other humans), but still. The fact that the best safeguard for a tampered robot is hoping other robots detect the risk signal it sends and proceed to plan in order to mitigate the damage is...optimistic.

Mostly since the only robots we see responding to it are robots without a purpose at that moment. Which would imply that, to some extent, if they don't obtain a purpose again, they're kind of "robot violence preventers" from that point on, until they end up destroyed during that duty. And that it is expected that at least some amount of robots end like that, basically as victims to continually build up pro-robot sentiment by helping establish that only robots tampered by a malicious human would damage others, while untampered robots would gladly sacrifice themselves to protect human life. A morbid thought.
