It wasn't only about that unintentional spoiling though. It's also about how there's not only 1, but 2 violations at once, others (anyone on this site, not only you) can perceive that. of which if not sugarcoated it can be probably not pretty (but deserved), for the evaluation of me. And that I seem to be the only one that can commit violation in these talks (not limited to that spoiling), while others seem to almost never do that.

Yeah, another irony in these 2 parters about how a machine can display more empathy and understanding than a human, who is just all ambitious and cruel. It's also technically a lesson about how a person's happiness comes in many form, not just all the riches and luxuries Arayashiki has, in how due to how generally people want a big house, it must extend to Oshiirou (the billionaire) too. Better knowing someone better rather than just project the "fixed" brand of happiness to them. I have to say though, unlike the match in ep. 17-18, to me Arayashiki's redemption is kinda forced, just suddenly appreciating his old small slum after spending all his time degrading it without any conflicted feelings and being the main drive of himself and also his clients, and thus apologizing on that.

But, for the talk between these 2 episodes, are there some contradicting there? The first part talked about how Sumida's competency (which also involves empathy and understanding for the client) can potentially make Arayashiki lose his job, and then, the talk is about Aruto is unfit for ruthless capitalism? Other than how it can be a bad idea for automation to replace humans (again Reiwa First Generation Korenosuke, where do humans get their income if they won't work?), doesn't it show that between Sumida and Arayashiki, the good one gets ahead in this case? While Arayashiki can hope for getting huge profit for his client, he still didn't get it, as Oshiirou chose Sumida. Though technically Gai won here (more like Gai possibly rigging the game as he started it), Sumire's good methods is enough for Gai to put a pressure on Arayashiki that it can gain actual sales.

And speaking about business, while there are many real cases of corruption, and Gai displaying the worst form of it, it seems that subtlety is overlooked in this kind of talk (and many stuff too not only this), about businesses. like it seems that some view running a business (or specifically gaining profit) as inherently evil and wrong or that someone is bad if they have a business. There are plain business (including if the result isn't fully satisfying), and there are corrupt business practices. Perhaps not all business should be lumped with the corrupt one nor that all corrupt business can be justified as "just business". But CMIIW.
