Sort of. He just argues with them mostly. He isn't fighting to stop them, or even inform people about what's actually going on. He just stands there with a thumb up his ass going "Durrr Yggadrasill is bad cause they lied, gave us a game for research, and came up with a plan to stop our world be destroyed." Is genocide a good thing? No it isn't. But it's better then walking around acting all sour because adult businessmen are acting like adult businessmen who have though about every option possible, and while the end result isn't ideal, it's better then nothing.

Kouta cannot play an active role in stopping Helheim because the events are greater than him at this current point in time. Not being able to do something doesn't rule you out from protesting an evil plan. Besides, even now, Yggdrasil has other options, it's just these options might end up saving less people than their current plan.

Kouta also realizes that Yggdrasil is capable of saving humanity, but he can't trust them to do so. That's why he lets them do their work when it involves saving the city (like in the recent episode) but disrupts them when he sees the potential for evil (like trying to destroy the Scalar system).

I don't get why Kouta is being blamed when he's doing whatever he can given the circumstances. He fights off Invess, protects the city where he can. Being a 20 year old who is effectively alone on this crusade, that's pretty darn impressive..

Yeah, he shows this through Takatora's character, which I actually appreciate. Takatora represents the side of Yggdrasil that actually wants to protect humanity.
