I'm waiting for subs to make a proper judgment but man this was beautiful.
I can already hear some people being like "Come on, this is what twisted him so much? Some childhood trauma over a robot dog?", but, really? That kind of shit is
exactly
what turns children into malicious adults. Constant mental abuse, the feeling of never being good enough, losing the one thing you actually care about.
The scene were little boy Gai packs up the robot dog and closes the box is essentially an Old Yeller-kinda situation, he is forced to end his best friend.
Are we supposed to forgive Gai now? Absolutely not, he's cruel, despicable and evil. His sins aren't washed away, but given one chance he can at least go forward and do the right thing.
For a character that was essentially only created to be Aruto's flipside adversary, and who did nothing but one-up his assholery every week until he finally got what he deserved, I feel like it's perfect to let him open a door towards a better future. For himself and the ones he wronged.
Although I believe it will eventually end with Gai realizing he cannot possibly repent for what he has done, and he will go out either defending against or destroying the Arc he created.
By the way, among the entire great scenes in this episode, robot dog jumping into action and braking like Izu does whenever she comes in hot was adorable. I also like this scene a lot because it makes you really aware how amazing Thouser's suit is. It was always "cool", but you were quickly led to hate it because of who wears it and what he does with it, but Thouser standing before Aruto at the end was so epic.
Lastly, I'm glancing over AI-chan on purpose because I couldn't understand a word she said, but she really has to be the best thing Aruto ever came up with. It helped three characters to find a resolution for themselves within three single episodes. Turns out therapy robots aren’t half-bad of an idea.
