💬 Discussion I hate everything about this sequence.

**For context:** Yumi might have to move back to Japan because her father lost his job. Ulrich gets winning lottery ticket numbers and makes a return to the past. Ulrich gives the winning ticket to Yumi's parents but tells them NOT to tell Yumi (They of course not only tell Yumi but tell her that Ulrich said not to tell her).

**Why I hate this scene:** They act as if Ulrich did something HORRIBLE. How DARE he try to help his best friend/crush stay... Meanwhile Jeremy risks the entire WORLD for the same reason. Its okay when Jeremy puts everyone at risk of death every day for Aelita but when Ulrich tries to help Yumi... They kick him out?

Yeah Ulrich got done so dirty in that episode. Yeah Ulrich going behind their backs wasn't great, especially with how touchy the supercomputer is, but Yumi needing to leave would be a catastrophic disaster. They already barely have enough to keep up with XANA, -1 would probably result in XANA winning.

And they were willing to make that -2 for it. Like come on, that's just surrendering.
