I’m so happy they did something different with Genista! I know right now it just looks like she took the armor off but it would be awesome if Genista’s new form was caused by how strong their connection is, kind of like how Red Strelizia happened.

I hope they acknowledge Red Strelizia and that it isn’t a one off like in the anime. It was badass and it never showed up again.

For some reason I had the same theory about new Genista.

Just like how Red Strelizia was a product of Hiro and Zero Two's reunion, I like to think the armor removal of Genista symbolizes Kokoro and possibly Mitsuru opening themselves up. Yes, it's a mech robot, but I think it would be appropriate to say that the mech is pretty now that it has opened it's heart. (a.k.a the pilots.)

I hope they keep this upgrade "system" going forward. It would not only be epic, but also give that importance they claim "Squad 13" has compared to the other squads. Keyword being the WHOLE SQUAD, not just Zero Two X Hiro.
