Ah yes, Haruto's well-known tendency to listen to strangers about his mission as Wizard. That's the Wizard I remember, now: always taking criticism on board and altering his demeanor and approach accordingly. I can't believe I'd forgotten that! It's a good thing I'm rewatching these movies.

The bit in this movie where Gentarou is in tears because he accidentally caused a computer he was trying to befriend to commit suicide... I can see that not working for some people! It's a very big swing, even for Gentarou. I loved it for its simplicity (Gentarou doesn't want anything bad to happen to his friends, no matter what they are), but it's weird for how little presence XVII has in the actual narrative by this point. Fourze's all big emotions! Like teenagers!
