It's a super fine line, to be sure, but I think there's a process of Tendou seeing the negative consequences of his manipulations in this episode. While I feel pretty confident he's working Renge to get the Hyper Zecter, he seems genuinely worried about how dangerous that final act is for her. Like, she believed in him enough to fall off the roof of a building! That's probably going to cause him to recalibrate what he's tricking people into. The third act in this episode is kind of literalized by Tendou using the Hyper Zecter to undo his deadly mistakes. There's never really a huge confession of guilt, because - Tendou, but there's a need to atone that says he knows he screwed up a little.

Yaguruma basically trolls Kageyama by acting like there's hope for them, before immediately turning it around, which explains why he walks off cackling like a maniac after saying it. (And he walks towards a literal light, no less; talk about mixed messages!).

Just an innocent mistake on the subbers' part, as a result mishearing what was being said – the scene's heavy rain not exactly making the audio easier to pick out – but it seemed worth correcting with how invested you are in Yaguruma's current downward spiral.

Anything that helps me separate Yaguruma's Nonsense from his Bullshit, I will gladly accept. Thank you! The end of that line was definitely a bit of a noodle-scratcher, but I just chalked it up to maybe something about Yaguruma's recent developments that hadn't yet been dramatized. Or it's just him reaching for something profound and ending on If Hallmark Cards Had A Screamo Section, which is so on-point for this show that I didn't assume there was a translation error. No flaws with Yaguruma!
