still thinking about that part in GX season 3 where Judai says “to save Johan, I would risk everything!” and then has the common shounen sentiment of “I would give anything to save the one I love” turned against him as his remaining friends are killed in front of him one by one and he watches unable to do anything………….. still thinking about it.
We also get the first reference to the virtual world technology here (as well as an actual explanation for why he’s running around in CG hallways like something out of a first person shooter and breaking through firewalls with cartoon dynamite beyond “lol that’s totally just how hacking works”)
