Oh geez, now he's just straight up publicly advocating for a violent vigilante uprising using the weapons he sells...

I'm not going to try doing a particularly full review of this one. I kind of have a lot to say, but I'm getting the feeling half of it would be banging on about the same things I already have on like three separate occasions already. These setup episodes of Zero-One keep catching me in a bad mood, so it's probably better to just wait for next week and actually have a complete plot to talk about. For now, have some quick, largely neutral bullet points:

- Fuwa is a Showa Rider! No wonder I love him so much! This really rubs in what a shame it is we don't get Net Movies anymore, because that would be the perfect venue for a parody recreation of Hongou strapped to an operating table, which is something I need to see now. Just imagine the ridiculous faces Fuwa's actor could make struggling against the chains! "Once we complete the brainwashing, you will become a loyal member of MetsubouJinrai.net." "Shut up! I make my own rules!" *Gorilla noises*.

- Speaking of my favorite Riders in the show, it's good to know Horobi studied at the Char Aznable school of fighting opponents with superior technology. Remember kids, it doesn't matter how powerful their weapons are if you don't get hit! Let that be a lesson to anyone still obsessing over "power levels" or whatever.

- Man, it must been real embarrassing for Aruto to have his HumaGear ambassador flip out and start raving about how humanity deserves to go extinct on live television. Like, I don't think it's possible for that to have gone any more completely backwards than it did? It's almost sort of impressive.
