While we're here:

Mio Sakamoto's archetype, Saburō Sakai, was shot through the head by the tail gunner of a US naval bomber during the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942. Blinded in his right eye (which is why Mio was designed with an eyepatch, though she has a happier reason for wearing it) and unable to move the left side of his body, he flew more than 600 miles back to Rabaul, which took five hours, and landed safely with pretty much no fuel left. He then insisted on delivering his after-action report before he would let the doctors at him.

Back in Japan, surgeons pieced his head back together (without anesthetic), and somehow, despite badly straitened wartime conditions and the fairly primitive state of neurosurgery in 1942, managed to get the left side of his body back online (but not his right eye). He was back on not just active duty, but combat operations, by the middle of 1944. He lived to be 84.

All of which may go some way toward explaining why you can't stop Mio Sakamoto, you can only hope to sort of contain her.
