[Xtreme RX]

This dialogue is great:

Fuwa: "So you all just bow down to the will of the Ark? Pathetic."

Horobi: "Aren't you the same?"

And then the confused Fuwa tries to make sense of it by figuring that Horobi meant his job working for AIMS and by proxy, ZAIA. But we all know what Horobi actually meant. It's pretty obvious at this point. Something happened to Fuwa, presumably when he used the Assault Trigger. The clues are all there: him getting used to its side effects, his migraines when seeing the hooded figure and the disappearance of the hooded figure after he confronted them in the warehouse. I hope we find out what exactly happened soon and I feel like we will with Jin supposedly returning next episode and Horobi escaping.

The rest of the episode was great and felt like a proper plot episode. I loved seeing all the Humagear from the first arc of the show return and a great explanation for how Aruto gains control of Metal Cluster Hopper form. When was the last time we got an episode making a new weapon relevant to the story? Enji Matsuda fooling Gai was awesome and the fight at the end was incredibly cathartic. Aruto kicking Gai's ass legitimately was a highlight of the show so far.
