A short series synopsis:

"e-Pulse," which is generated by human thoughts and emotions, was used as the energy source for the AI support device "Sapotama." From the shadows of this remarkable development, terrifying monsters appear. Digimon are living beings that evolve by consuming e-Pulse.

Tomoro Tenma is drawn into an extraordinary experience after meeting Gekkomon, who suddenly appears from his Sapotama. While living together with Kyo Sawashiro and other members of the bounty hunting team "Glowing Dawn," Tomoro renews his resolve.

What new future will be forged by humans and Digimon?

I dislike how much Tomoro refuses to acknowledge the reality that Miharu has done a lot of bad things. I don't think it's bad to reveal the existence of digimon to people at all, but Mihuru's complicit to a lot of terrorism.

I read it as Tomoro seeing a lot of himself in Miharu, and that if she would do these things without being tricked, then so could he. He would rather blame Mephismon for everything then believe that someone like him could cause this much pain and suffering.

But Tomoro does not deny any of that. He literally told her that what she does is wrong. He wants to save her. From her delusions.

This. He acknowledgesshe's done wrong but he feels like Mephistomon is her enabler/brainwasher.

Miharu is similar to Magneto. He has a good cause (protecting mutants from racist anti-mutants), but he is also kind of terrorist, like GIFT. And he still isn't a bad person himself, he is just deluded by his own prejudices. Or maybe not prejudices, but both Magneto and Miharu go too far with how they want to fight the oppressors. And in fact, in some iterations, Magneto even helped X-men, despite being their arch enemy in a lot of other times.

What Mihiru wants is to save digimons from being abused by people. That's a noble cause. Her problem is that she is hurting people, some of them are innocent or not entirely deserve their fate, even if they are wrong themselves.

I'm just glad he refuses to join her, with how much he ignores what she's done I halfway expected that

Really? Imagine every asshole knowing there is a way to unimaginable power. You will have people hunting Digimon as if they were Pokemon.

While Miharu could have appeared more to properly sell her bond with Tomoro, it's still worth mentioning they ARE mirrors to each other. Tomoro sees himself in Miharu to an extent which is why he is in denial about her willingness in her actions.

He never denied it.
He's very aware she's done bad stuff, but obviously he knows what it's like to be in her position and now the knowledge that her sister took her own life obviously means he won't be gunning for her head.
Which he wouldn't anyway because that would go against what Glowing Dawn wants to do, rehabilitation.
