I'm just happy that the final stretch of episodes excites me this much. Nothing against the last few past shows, Build and Ex-Aid had great final episodes, but you know where it would shift to eventually. They set up a final bad guy, the good guys fight him. Arguably that's the same thing happening here, but the main Rider actually becoming the last enemy to face himself is so cool.

By the way - if it gets to aggravating and you guys feel like sitting down and relax after all of this is over; I know a good place...

Possession means they can eventually write it off as "Ark used Aruto in his weakest moment" so the majority of the blame shifts to the Ark again.

From what I've understood in this episode, Ark can never truly die because as malice exists within humans another one will be born. Doesn’t even have to be an AI, could also be a human with a belt. Just the concept of a malicious being threatening the world means "Ark" will be reborn.

So that's what why we saw Horobi "becoming" Ark at the beginning, that was the most likely scenario of a new Ark being created.

And that's what I hope is happening here, Aruto is on the verge of becoming the next being to be called Ark. I like this more because he might succumb to it fully or with the help of his friends work himself out of this mess, and I think that’ better than Fuwa and the gang pulling Ark-One's mask off, Scooby-Doo style, and being like "It was the Ark all along!".
