Oh, I liked this episode when it aired, but as it went on in my head for long and a couple of rewatches, I kind of despise it now.

The hospital scene hurts me inside because of how it was handled. Fuwa learns that he doesn't have a very special life up until he was brainwashed and turned into an AIMs soldier, so in a logical sense that must mean Fuwa has to be worried about the people he's left behind, his friends, his family!

Yeah, uh, no. They used this scene for Yua and Naki to to actually MOCK him. That... angers me on a level I cannot explain with words!

Next one is a 50/50 deal. I love Horobi and Thouser's fight, it was Gai at his absolute best and he was surrounded by Battle Raiders which are a very cool team, mind you. I also really like the context behind it, it's one of the few times Gai steps up to the plate to clean up the mess he started, Metsuboujinrai. I.. Don't see what's wrong with that, he's actually going out of his way to clean up his mess!

This is Thouser at one of his bests, he beats Horobi by utilizing the fact that he has more powers than him, overwhelming him with just how much he can dish out so Horobi's learning wouldn't be able to keep up with him.

But then.. Aruto protects Horobi? And Gai gets interrupted by Naki to allow Horobi to get a shot in beating him? This sours Aruto for me, allowing a robo-terrorist to live just because daddy issues, I get it that he also had a humagear dad, but it just doesn't hit me right. He protects Horobi and lets him get away, disallowing Gai from cleaning his mess, but also allowing Horobi the pieces he needs for his master plan of bringing back the Ark.

And no, that line at the end "Maybe Aruto will be the one to change the Humagears' future" or something I forgot, you cannot convince me for Horobi with that. All I saw here was that Gai was denied of making things right for once.
