Besides that aspect, the rest of this episode is perfectly fine and I do still like it.

I loved this episode, and I'm pretty much completely on the hook for Yua going forward, but I can't deny that this show could've done a better job of illuminating her character before now. Like, all the stuff we learn about her in this episode... it could've shown up any number of times before now? Just have Yua say that she doesn't think dreams are valuable! Or that tools serve more of a purpose than dreams! But it's just a dozen episodes of her acting grumpy and wandering off, which makes it seem like the show hadn't figured out her motivation until this week.
