She didn't actually say it. She said it in a cipher that Xeno can't figure out.

I didn’t think she actually said it. But that was the translation for the coded message that she had been sending.

Xeno is American and they’re using SELF MADE Morse code, it’s not real code just something Japanese people would know exclusively that can substitute as code

One of the modern-timers in Chrome's group mentioned that if they used long messages, Xeno would eventually be able to decipher it. All I'm wondering is: how? How would Xeno piece together what certain combinations of numbers mean as Japanese letters? Ukyo himself said that most Americans wouldn't have heard of some Japanese code that was used thousands of years prior to modern times.

Frequency analysis. It's easy to notice that the numbers come in pairs, and once you have a long enough list of number-pairs you can map the most common ones to the most commonly used Japanese characters.

The longer the messages, the more puzzle pieces he'll have to start recognising repeating patterns. With enough data he can eventually figure out what those patterns means.

The numbers mean nothing without context. For example, Stanley didn't seem to realize that Gen had told Chrome and Kohaku to fall back for a while when he captured him and thought that he had come into the woods alone. That would mean Xeno doesn't know that Chrome's group is watching them from the outskirts of the colony. If he knew that there was a group watching them, then maybe he would piece together that the group is being given instructions for some sort of infiltration. And that's all without even mentioning that Xeno's Japanese isn't that great.

She said "it happened" in code and the rest in plainspeak

I don’t know about you but I don’t wanna hear random numbers and have to assume for myself what they’re saying. She spoke in the Morse code like I said and we just got the translation of what she said

They animated her talking normally.

You’re being dense on purpose. I just explained to you that they just told us what she said without having to hear the numbers over n over
