Remember why they said Hikawa couldn't use G3-X? Because people are imperfect and the AI expects the user to make the perfect/optimal moves? Well, it's not because HIKAWA was flawed, it's because HUMANITY is. People just aren't advanced enough to make the optimal flawless moves.

But Shouichi could use the suit with no problems whatsoever, so what does that tell you about him?

Oh, okay! That definitely sews up the "Shouichi as G3-X operator" plot. I don't know that I love the lesson being Mutants Are Better Than People (Sven, don't you think that's true), but, yeah, I can see that being a read on it.

I think I like it better when it's more character-focused, that SHOUICHI was just better than HIKAWA, that he was better equipped to be a part of something than Hikawa was. Shouichi is fluid, accepting. He's Drift Compatible with everyone, a universal donor. Hikawa is clumsy, unyielding. He only knows how to push, he doesn't know how to let go. I don't know, I'm not saying your read is wrong (it's almost definitely more right than mine!), but I just like my read better.
