watching now

based on their reaction they definitely saw it.
and seemed a bit frightened?
i can't tell what their reaction meant.

but clearly they care about him enough to sacrifice they hope of a new start to go back to war.

maybe they realized they won't ever be safe with the VIRM still alive.

but as you said they didn't do much to explain a few things that episode.

only one ep left

Much sadness

Oh boy
literally a mecha waifu
hot damn

Now Hiro wants her to himself in another dimension without the distractions from his friends ^^

Of course
If I was Hiro, I'd want the same... KAPPA

pretty sub par episode
considering the rest of the season was so good.

I thought it was pretty good. The fight was cool and how the 9s fought to their death
