So, this episode is fine, a bit too fight heavy for my tastes, but still enjoyable. Speaking of fights, continuing from last episode, Ark beats down Aruto and Jin and then proceeds to possess Jin, so things are not going well for the heroes. We then see Yua talking to Ai-chan and just like Fuwa somehow manages to feel better in a few hours, which seems pretty unrealistic, I don't believe that a few hours of therapy can just make you better instantly, you'd think it would take multiple weeks, but I guess they can't give too much time to these subplots when they have to rush because of Covid, but I'd appreciate at least a bit more thought on it.

We cut to Gai and he suggests that the day the Raidrisers go on sale, that they'll have the ZAIAspecs lose control on purpose to get people to buy a Raidriser, and this is just something I can't even begin to describe in how it makes me feel, I know that Gai is technically a villain, but he's actually suggesting that many people die just so he can get more money, which is just, no, don't do that, that is such a horrible idea, what about poor people who can't afford Raidrisers, but might've gotten a ZAIAspec as a gift, are they just going to all die? He even says that letting people die is justifiable for the success of the Raidrisers, I completely forgot this was a thing that happened, I thought last episode's suggestion of putting the Raidrisers on sale was bad enough, but this, this is just terrible, I can hardly defend any of Gai's actions, you can't redeem murdering a bunch of people, simply to get more money, that's very clearly a crime, I'm going to move on, but I can't justify this.

Luckily, the other two (I can't remember their names) also think that this is a horrible idea, even going to Aruto to get Shesta up and running so that they can collect all of Gai's criminal acts and get him taken out from his position. Gai sees Naki, who now has a Forceriser of their own, and it's a Japanese Wolf, which looks really good, it's a really nice suit design in my opinion. we then get a rather long fight between MetsubouJinrai and A.I.M.S, as well as Gai and all the Raidriser fodder, of course, they're all beaten badly, and then Aruto shows up to meet the same fate, basically accomplishing nothing for anyone. This is a fine episode, way too much fighting for my taste, but it was still alright, though next episode does introduce my favorite character from Zero-One (which you might guess from my User Title), but this episode is just okay.
