Holy fuck they wrote Ult so well in this episode. The façade he always wears was completely strewn apart and defiled, exposing who he truly is -- who he tries his hardest to hide: a skittish kid who just doesn't want to be hurt or weak anymore.

Of course, I can imagine he's been in some pretty high risk battles before, but he was practically thrust into this one when a realization hits him: he *doesn't* know how this is going to turn out. And there *is* a possibility that they could all very well *die*. That fact clearly terrifies him.

Despite his itch to battle, I don't think he's the kind of kid to throw himself into something he knows is dangerous like this. It's for this reason that he's so terrified. Like that shit must have been even mildly traumatizing for him. The anime has been leading up to this moment, building up on his side plot of wanting to be in a high stakes battle...only for it to be much more than nor him or the viewers ever expected.

The reason he wasn't in sync with Roy as he usually is was because Roy is conditioned to this -- he's had his fair share of incredibly dangerous battles. Ult has not -- at least not to the same degree as Roy.

Aand that's why I think someone should give this kid a hug already. But those are my two cents or whatever.

Yo. Name's Ult -- or Uruto! I'm an experienced trainer from Kalos, traveling and training with my partner Sableye. I post random things and thoughts, and my ask box is always open. This intro is a work in progress since I'm too tired to finish it right now.
