The Armor of Leda is a colossal giant robot that belongs to the legendary warrior Leda, who foretold Yoko's arrival. It can transform into a ship called the Wings of Leda, providing both mobility and firepower. Yoko and Yoni use it to travel to Zell's fortress and engage in the final battle.

While imprisoned by Zell, Yoko is put to sleep and dreams she is living a happy life with the young man she loves. The illusion is a trap designed to keep her passive so she cannot interfere with the portal machine. The dream represents the fantasy life she has been escaping into rather than facing reality.

Foreshadowing: Zell tells Yoko she came to this world because she wanted to escape her own, directly connecting to her motivation for escaping reality.
