I think I’ll just run until things settled down for Aruto and Gai.

With Metal Cluster being real, what else was in the leak that Metal Cluster was first reported in? I think that's where we got Burning Falcon, was there any other future forms involved?

Rampage Vulcan was there too

Is anyone gonna duck out to avoid Aruto being hated and the public turning against him?

Is there any hope for Metal Cluster Hopper to change into good like with FangJoker? Any way for Aruto to get full control of it?

Maybe Izu could examine it and how it can be free of Ark's influence.

since there isn't any announcement for a replace form so far, i have no doubt Aruto will control Metalcluster quite quickly.
Maybe not without consequences. But he can't be rampaging and needing Fuwa to force the belt out for 10 episodes

It might still take a while, he could save it for a last resort while gradually getting closer to full control of it.

If/when he does get it under control, it would be really cool if the controlled version has red eyes like the other Hopper forms, instead of the yellow they changed to.

Judging from episode descriptions I've seen shared around, it's looking like the next couple of episodes are gonna be taming it. Purely cause it's the only thing Aruto can use, apparently Metal Cluster is so bad it just broke the Zero-One Driver to where it can't read any key other than it.

Oh, is that what Gai meant by a "locking" the Zero-One Driver? That's kind of brilliant, especially since they're Progrise Keys.

Also an interesting twist to add to the introduction of a new form, especially one with other serious drawbacks already.
