[OptionZero]

Smile winning the contest because she, as a Humagear, understood the meaning of home better than Arayashiki, is a nice continuation of the theme that humagears are more than machines

however

i have a big issue with what happens after a human using the Raid Riser belt is defeated . . . nothing. Here, Aruto hits Arayashiki's shark beast with a Shining Hopper finisher that would kill a mutated humagear and . . . Arayashiki doesn't die. He doesn't even seem really hurt

If humans that are corrupted can be redeemed with zero harm, that really lowers the stakes in those fights

plus, it would really raise some issues for Aruto if he had to face the fact that finishing the Raid Riser beast would actually harm a human
