If only the Bat Cowboy Orphnoch had been voiced by Takeshi Kimura, doing a Western American accident, my head would've exploded.

He shows her that she doesn't need to hide herself from him. Just like when he accepted the truth about Takumi, he knows that he kind and generous Yuka he loves is still the same person. They finally found out each other's identities and there's nothing stopping them from being together now. The love between a human and an Orphenoch is proof that these 2 species can co-exist peacefully and prosperously. It's a perfect time for this to happen when the war between both species is starting to escalate.

Accepting people is pretty much Keitaro's superpower? I think that's why when he was scared of Takumi, it felt especially brutal. Keitaro cares for everyone. He wants the whole world to be happy! If that dude can't care about your comfort, things are in bad shape.

Anyway, yes, Keitaro and Yuka, it's an incredibly lovely scene. I love the small gesture of it, how he doesn't do a whole Yuka Is Yuka speech or whatever. He just stands there for a second, hugs her, holds her, and it's a cut to Open Your Eyes For The Next Faiz.

This episode was sad and solemn, but it made me so happy.
