why didn’t Natsuko draw Mighty Greatsword Luke to begin with?
Natsuko drew the Luke she’s drawn all her life. Throughout the show she’s been drawing existing animations. In the dark she comes to accept that drawing that Luke isn’t enough. In the end, with the emotional support of QJ, she realizes that she should draw her own Luke, the one she’s come to know and fall in love with. It’s her coming to terms with her feelings towards Luke, which is emphasized by what she says after she draws him. Or so I say. A line from Natsuko about what sparked the change would’ve been better than listening to QJ moan. Really anything probably would’ve been better than listening to QJ moan. “I know, I should’ve drawn him shirtless!”, whatever, anything else, please.
I was hoping that Natsuko would take more agency over a new ending for Tale Of Perishing after this point.
I was definitely hoping to see Natsuko draw an entire new in-canon ending for Horobiku Monogatari. Do a complete revision! That’s literally the title of the show!

I like your interpretation of the events, that makes more sense now.
