Yesssss, because cramming in all the character motivation and backstory for a character with as much plot relevance as Sakura in the last couple seconds, without giving a chance to let the reader properly establish two flying fucks properly over the course of the manga was kojima level storytelling, a masterpiece, and wasn't blindsiding at all or for shock value.
This is why traditional story telling is tried and true.
What's next? Want to justify Chainsaw Man's approach to storytelling? That introducing interesting characters just to kill them off with little to no development isn't jarring, leaving you detached and apathetic to any other character other than 4 people in a cast 5 times that size?
