The rogue HumaGear Horobi betrays Aruto to retrieve special information, while Fuwa investigates another secret within MetsobuJinrai.net...

This isn't supposed to be Jin?

okay...so I just watched the raws with little to no understanding of Japanese...but looks like Metsubojinrai are pretty chill now with Aruto despite being enemies, except for Ikazuchi though I feel the show will bring back Saburo to soften him up.
Gai is so powerless now with Naki hacking his stuff and him unable to beat anybody. I can seem getting desperate and forcing the Ark to make something Naki cannot hack...like maybe Ark-Zero. Either he transforms or he kidnaps Izu to transform to spite Aruto. Ark will then discard MBJR as they were just its tools leading to a seven rider team-up maybe? xD on another note....looks like a clipshow next week...ONORE COVID19!!! |

Feels a little off that last time Horobi pulled out his finisher, it very nearly ended Fuwa's life. Here, it just results in Gai doing his same 'get up and walk away all bruised and mad' routine. I would at least accepted his mooks having to carry away his unconscious body!
It's kind of weird how Horobi goes on about how ZAIA is gonna go extinct. It makes it sound like he was planning on ending Gai on the spot, but I guess Naki having full control of all their technology achieves the same effect... Every fight scene in this episode was exceptionally great. They clearly had a lot of CG budget to spare, especially for Metal Cluster Hopper's, well, metal clusters.

I just realised that there’s been no updates to the OP since Jin returned. Seems weird, given that half of it is massively outdated at this point.

All that build up on what is in Fuwa's lost memories when it turned out to be he's just a normal everyday boring guy with a weird sense of humor. And Naki outed his sense of humor to Yua. Fuwa's never going to hear the end of it....

I suppose, Horobi not killing Gai or any of his men is just a bit of extra cruelty. After all, Gai's promise to handle it before the day was done is now invalid. Plus the fact that Naki can just bypass anything Gai sets up. Sometimes humiliation is worse than death and while I'm sure Horobi wants Gai gone, knocking him down further by invalidating all his inventions is something I can get behind.
I do also like Horobi's sort of "modus operandi" when it comes to fighting. With weaker opponents he's fine, stronger opponents are what catch him off guard usually. But there's a noticeable portion where he does a lot better, no matter the opponent, if they're caught off guard. Horobi fighting Thouser for the first time manages to get him to a draw by catching him off guard during his fight with Vulcan. Launching a surprise attack in the previous episode with Aruto allowed him to get the upperhand despite the usage of Shining. It was also why Fuwa did so terribly in their first confrontation back in Episode 8, Fuwa's mind was too clouded by anger so Horobi was able to control the fight with ease. And thus this helped during the second phase of the fight against Gai once he was so flustered. Overall though this episode was pretty nice in the other areas, I'm always a fan of more Naki and getting to see Naki and Fuwa interact briefly was great. As was Naki performing a joke in the most stoic manner while also just tossing a perfectly good futon on the ground. Not gonna lie though whenever they had the red eyes I immediately got Naruto flashbacks. Oh and before I forget! That opening scene with Aruto chasing Jin by using Metal Cluster's nanomachines as platforms was genius! I really loved that they're still willing to get creative with Metal Cluster despite toning it down earlier. |
