I am okay with this, because it shows that the impact Gentarou's example has made on the kids at Amanogawa High. Yukina deciding that the grand gesture of taking the Fourze Driver from Gentarou was worth it despite the imminent and verifiable danger it puts him in due to the gesture being colossally short-sighted is kind of exactly the sort of thing Gentarou would do five years later! Maybe because of this!!!

I think Yukina shows in 34 that she genuinely cares about Gentarou, but her obsession with him led to her prioritizing her version of what would make him happy over what would actually make him happy. She wasn't forcing him to be her boyfriend, she was trying to force him to have fun with her in the hopes he'd be her boyfriend, which maybe isn't much better (it's still kind of controlling and manipulative) but it feels slightly better than 33, and I'll take it.
