Saburo shows emotional pain and a great fear of being hated or left behind, likely due to his perception of being abandoned in his youth and, subsequently, blaming himself for not being good enough to make his father Genichi stick around. In general, Saburo is shown to be introverted and disconnected from physical reality due to having little to no meaningful contact with others aside from his often guardian Mai Koyanagi. Though he denies it, he yearns for praise, and he eventually begins to pilot Unit 01 to gain the approval and praise of others, having reconnected with his mother and hoping to save his father – in the process coming to terms with his own masculinity and femininity.
