You know shit is about to go down when they omit the opening, but this time they saved the title card till the end as well.

Lots of great development for Fuwa, we learn the truth behind the chip in his head (somewhat called it! It was Naki's), why he was able to turn into Assault Wolf and why he inadvertently helped Metsuboujinrai with distributing the Raid Risers and breaking Horobi out. This gives Fuwa a lot of doubt and mental anguish, naturally, but he decides to pursue his dreams and break free of the control imposed upon him by both ZAIA and Metsuboujinrai. It's such a strong character moment and extremely heroic and the words he says to Yua are also really badass too.

But the highlight of this goddamned episode was the fight scene. Rampage Vulcan looks amazing and HOLY HELL is it badass! The choroegraphy and effects-work this episode were on another level! I honestly haven't seen a form debut this effective on all levels - story, visuals, choreography, emotional beats - since maybe Black Hazard in Build. This was impactful both literally and figuratively and the beat-down he gave both Thouser and Valkyrie was highly satisfying.

The guys doing the effects this season are running on all cylinders. That transformation was absolutely phenomenal and the finishers utilizing a mix of different Progrise Abilities was pure spectacle.

The ending does not bode well for Aruto or the Humagears, I hate Gai with a passion but him winning over Hiden Enterprise will push the story in a really exciting new direction I feel.

It feels like Zero-One is just getting started!

Honestly looking back they could of skip the 5v5 and make it a 1:1 with the public after raider outbreak and political sc as well as metal cluster can appeared around spring. I feel like jin hirobi fuwa was sideline most of the time and eps16-28 there wasn't a whole lot of growth for them. But then we might head for too early of an endgame like build and gaim, which led to padding episodes for time. Unless a new 3rd party appear via arc or something else. Wasnt the dad or grandfather coming back one way or another via backup Ai or they faked their deaths. It could be the exaid Dan and build katsuragi twits again if they repeat the trope.
