Gotta go with Kouta here.


For starters, I'm thinking from the perspective of the average citizen here. If you were told that, out of a population of 7 billion people, only 1/7th of those people would be allowed to survive, you wouldn't think your odds are that good. Secondly, if Project ARK exists to allow the strongest humans alive, who does Yggdrasil consider 'strong'? I mean, even as a member of the audience, I don't know what the standard for that is, and I'd be worried if someone like Kaito had a say in who's strong and who's weak. Yggdrasil can basically choose to kill off whoever doesn't fit their standards and we don't even KNOW what those standards are. No offense, but this desire to create the 'master race' is all too familiar. And can I really trust the side that is so willing to pull the trigger on the vast majority of the world without remorse? I mean, you have Sid the shady, sociopathic lock dealer, Yoko, the one who follows orders and asks no questions and Ryoma, a guy who seems to be utterly lacking in emotion. Can you truly say this trio has exhausted all possible outcomes?

Even if Kouta doesn't quite have a plan yet, I can at least trust a guy like him to find an alternative that doesn't involve mass genocide, solely because of his passion for protecting humanity, a passion that I can't see in any of the four Energy Riders, save for Takatora, who's probably going to be betrayed by the other 3 anyway.
