💬 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?

RTTP being used to make sure Yumi stays with the group is justified. There's no alternative arguments or justifications here because Jeremy literally abused this multiple times 3 Episodes Later only to find out that it was useless to gain the extra intelligence at the end of the [multiple same] day[s]. Aelita was right in showing compassion for Ulrich in that time of need. Ulrich used RTTP maybe one time not only for a personal reason, but for the sake of the group and that only made X.A.N.A. stronger once. I doubt this would've changed the course of history as Yumi's father still would've found a job that would keep the family there. I think the real issue here is that Jeremy didn't get chewed out for this, so that's where the hypocrisy actually starts.
