IMO this just make everything underwhelming because there are no risk
I don't know who to blame the writer, the parents who always protest if the show is too dark or because nowandays everything is super sensitive

The alternatives are worse. If Aruto hadn't worried and just attacked the Raider, then that would've raised the question of "how did he know a human would survive?" especially since all the Humagears died when their monster forms were destroyed, and the same people who're calling him stupid now would be calling him reckless.

And if he'd been right to worry, and the flower guy had died from Thouser's finisher, then they'd have had to find a non-lethal way to take down all the future Raiders (or just let Thouser kill them), which would get old really fast and the writers would probably hand-wave it away after a bit by having Zero-One's finishers modified to be non-lethal... somehow. Which would then raise the question of why he hadn't been using non-lethal finishers from the start.

Having Aruto worry about the flower guy's safety but ultimately be proven wrong was the best way to let him be true to his character and the events up until now without bogging down the future story.
