"It must be because of the mecha, the one he's piloting now is a custom-modified version, completely on a different level from the standard-type mecha he used to pilot, and its weaponry is much more formidable."
"How many gold stars does Ji have now?"
"Forty-eight, he has defeated three Imperial Mechas."
"What about the ones he injured? Seriously, aren't those counted for him?"
"Ji would never ask for that, I know him well. If he wanted gold stars, he would have had more than he has now. He wouldn't choose to injure rather than destroy. What he wants is to save time, to ensure the lives of the rest of our mecha warriors, and to restore all of the observational eyes as soon as possible."
"Yes, Ji wouldn't ask for that. So..."
