Whoops, been busy and almost forgot! It's Episode 30!

-Aruto and Jin, now that's a fun dynamic to check up on, considering Aruto kickstarted this new stage of Jin's! I think it's a great one dynamic to look on, since I think they're the more idealistic members of their respective groups?

-I think I asked a question awhile back. "What will happen when one group-Humans and Humagears-outgrows the other?" I think this a solid answer to that question: if the human soicety rejects the Humagears, their existence as a product to heighten the human quality of life being denied, then why not let the remaining Humagears themselves decide what they want to do for themselves? Even if the answer is a simple "I want to keep doing the same thing I always have!", isn't that better than forcibly shutting down something that has sentience?

-........Not saying what it is of course, but I'm making a personal note that there's a line in particular that I want to look back on later.

-Aruto starting from stratch after the Job Arc is one of my favorite story beats in 01? Like, besides the actual battles themselves, the Job arc also served to give light to the role of CEO and what it entails, through Aruto and Gai. (like any ol ep of 01 gives a spotlight to the Career of the Week, just spread out) Gai is technically the "best CEO" here: his company is massively successful due to his guidance, and he does everything he can to protect and polish the company's image, and they're growing and popular as a result. But...A career bulit off a throne of exploitation, lies and manipluation is not anyone should strive for, even if you end up becoming a multi-billionaire? (And while they're probably far less..Blantantly Evil than ZAIA, I imagine the seat Aruto inherited from Korenosuke as its own set of not-so-pleasant baggage!) It's honestly for the best to cast all that aside a start from scratch, becoming a President that truly matches the dreams and ideals Aruto wants to reach?

-The number is never exactly mentioned, but I wonder how many Humagears are in circulation if Aruto can cleanly wrap all their data around him?
