New content in the first Zero-One recap episode




Aruto's consciousness is suddenly taken to Zea, and meets a glitching Izu there, with an overlay of long haired Izu from the opening. She is talking in an oddly casual way (and then overcompensates and goes full samurai speech). Apparently she lost her data about Zero-One and wants Aruto to recap the events to help her remember it.


After this, it's a full clip show with audio commentary. Notably though, fake Izu has all data about Metsuboujinrai, which kind of annoys Aruto at a certain point (You remember them but nothing about me?!). In spite of that, not even fake Izu knows how Jin returned. She also has Gai's data already too, and didn't want Aruto to go on about him, but he eventually interests her enough to go on with it.

The very last scene though goes back to Aruto, but this time the background around him is suddenly revealed to be Ark, not Zea, and Ark-Zero is there with him rather than fake Izu.

I thought it was pretty good for what it was. Aruto's commentary alongside "Izu" was generally fun enough and there were a couple of plot points hinted at. Of course, that's considering the current circumstances. Still, I've watched worse recap episodes.
