thanks,
ya'll are far more eloquent and exacting than I am. But you've both summed up my feelings better. ..and I was cranky earlier I think. Lol. I enjoy these discussions though. And sometimes people point out things I may not have noticed that puts an episode in a different light for me. But yeah I'm a bit bored with Zero-One at the moment. Tired of seeing the tires spinning in place, and tired of Thouser Rider whupping Our Heros butt. |

So yeah Zero One isn't that bad. |

Its part of the writing. Bad guy seems too much to handle, a lot of soul-searching and training and questing to get the next upgrade to level the playing field. |
But I don't think Aruto is soul searching now. He's just reacting. This should be good storyline to build up Izu's character but She's not doing it either. It's just everyone reacting to events.
|
yeah it's not like I didn't see Build, Cross Dragon and Grease get their butts handed to them repeatedly, but they always learned something and came back stronger pretty quickly.
Aruto is just getting his butt repeatedly kicked, and it's the Humagears that seem to be learning something. |
While I agree that this arc is lagging in plot development, I do think it's doing interesting things for Aruto as a character. He's always been very positive and idealistic, some would say naive, but the harsh truth is that a CEO's job is not to be a good person, it's to make money and uphold their company's image, which often means being selfish, cynical and manipulative.
I'd been wondering since day one whether Aruto would ever have to face that reality, and how he'd handle it if he did. And the conflict with Gai, who represents all the villainous qualities needed to be a "perfect" CEO, is a great way to bring that issue to the forefront. And if it was just a wealthy corporation on the line, I wouldn't care much because the obvious answer is that Aruto should choose being a good person over money and power. But since the future of Hiden also determines the future of Humagears, that raises the stakes and puts Aruto in a tough spot where he has to choose between his ideals and his responsibilities. |
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this arc is a bit lackluster. Nothing's truly happening in terms of plot and these last few episodes just felt the same.

The current arc feels very similar to the early episodes were Aruto goes around and meets HumaGear employed in different fields to me. Which is what people take issue with I guess. |
