The moral complexity of the pirate faction is explored through Buffalo Crush, whose growing affection for Jun’s family conflicts with his loyalty to Captain Black Hook. During a warehouse confrontation, Buffalo Crush must choose between his "pirate brotherhood" and the humans who treated him with genuine kindness. After a series of betrayals within the pirate crew, Buffalo Crush ultimately allows himself to be sealed by Jun to protect him from a lethal attack. This emotional departure marks the first "Heel-Face Turn" within the antagonist roster, showing that Machinian loyalty is not immutable.
