probably one of the only instances I would be happy if the "MC plot armor" applies on illya here, cause she's gone through so much that she deserve to "be included in the happy ending" in her own story, she's already getting shafted by not having her own route in stay night and heaven's feel adaptation just straight up removed her most important scene, come on now, don't be mean to my girl hereAh yes..... another Type-Moon bingo card "MC Plot Armor" is checked.
If Illya is rewritten by the world that she never exists. So who insert memory about Illya to Beatrice and suddenly everyone remembers her ? Is it because of 2nd magic interference ?
also, yes, like beatrice mention herself, her memory is riddled because of mjolnir, and because of how that thing works that thunder emitting from beatrice's body after getting hit by fragarach is supposed to be her memory, and when the thunder comes back her memory also came with itI mean, at least you can say there was some sort of foreshadowing as it was mentioned during Illya's fight with Beatrice that her memory leaks out in the form of the thunder she releases in the sky (also the reason why Illya and the readers were able to see Beatrice's backstory with Julian), so it makes some sense that the if the thunder comes back to her, some memory also comes back.
As of how convincing this is (I don't think it's as obvious as Shirou handing Kuro the origin bullet), and whether this was Hiroyama's original intention when he thought about how everybody would remember Illya, or did he envision a slower development, that would be somewhat debatable.
(PS: As of "MC Plot Armor"... There seems to have been an unwritten convention in the world of visual novels that the protagonist shall not die, which I absolutely hate, but I guess this was just how it was, unfortunately.)
