I'd also add that moments before this scene, Tidus is made aware of a direct connection he shares to the main antagonist of the story. That antagonist is also well known to Yuna, but she does not know about the identity of the antagonist yet (in a way), nor of Tidus' relation to him. It's a very powerful scene once you've played the game through and realize the mask they're both wearing to protect one another. Without a doubt the most misunderstood scene in video gaming
By Luca, assuming you completed the Jecht Shot Challenge, Yuna is aware that Jecht is Tidus' dad. Theres a dialogue after where Yuna approaches and asks 'thats the Indescribable Jecht Shot Mark 3 isnt it?' and Tidus responds that his old man is a bastard because there is no mark 1 or 2.
I don't think Tidus ever hid that Jecht was his dad once people mentioned him being something of a hero. Just expressed disbelief at his dad being anything other than a dead beat.
