FWIW the move card's use of "不惑" reminded me of that idiom, which at least IMHO (so grain of salt, etc.) has a pragmatic meaning that's more like "you know better than that, so why are you considering it?"...but that's probably just me. Either way it's not like Amata's going to develop a sudden attachment to Zessica (probably), I hope he doesn't become some smug guy floating above the fray.

Spoiler for Episode Set-Up:

I think the power-up was about Amata's fear of being abandoned and said fear leading him astray. If we go for it word for word, its pretty straightforwardly easy to fit it into "The wise man does not let himself be led astray!" as Amata was about to let himself sink into despair of thinking he was about to be abandoned again. (Why he is wrong can be interpreted many ways, since, for example, he has many other friends and its rather short sighted of him to ignore them.)

The issue with the whole set-up though is that the ending reeks of *build them up before the fall*. Amata just gets his resolve mended, his wings take him high... and then he gets shredded. Since Fudo isn't able to read the future...
