I think she just likes changing her clothes? I could definitely headcanon it as Hana thinking her train outfit is too conspicuous, so she puts on "normal clothes" (including an outfit that would only blend in if they needed to save Jimi Hendrix from an imagination monster from the end of time) when she's running around Tokyo.

That said, I way prefer her train outfit. It's a good look!

At this point in the show, I guess I'd argue with the last line? His affection for Airi is still unhealthy, being that he treats her like a sister when she doesn't even know he exists. There's no reciprocity to their relationship, and that means that Ryutaros' care is more selfish than not. It's him caring for a character in his story, not a real woman with an interior life. He's obsessed with Airi, and even if it's not in a sexual way, it's still not great.

I'd probably put Ryutaros and Urataros neck-and-neck as far as who is the least helpful. Depending on the particular scene, either one of them could be the biggest drawback to Ryotaro's goals. But, Ura has at least some marginal use (investigation, subterfuge) that Ryu lacks. It's a close one, though! Definitely some variables that can change in a heartbeat!
