Sure, Smug Gai smirking his way through victories is annoying, but he's supposed to be the smug CEO.
Then we have Jin and Horobi.... They mirror the two humans Yua and Fuwa, one is a tool of Zaia while another is the first of his kind and aims to be truly independent from everything except his own goals and dreams and will.
Very nice juxtaposition.
Really enjoying this. And now we are kicking into the third act, things are starting to get serious.
I actually really was hoping that Aruto starts using other belts, that would have made an
amazing
twist in the KR shows where the main rider kept his belt throughout the show.
I agree with all your points. The arc itself was only 13 episodes (17-29), and while a good chunk of important stuff was happening outside the competition, the competition itself was a good framing device to build up Gai and Aruto's rivalry. Sure it was episodic, but I'd argue it was similarly episodic to the Metsuboujinrai arc (1-16).
EDIT: This arc's goal was to build up the Hiden-Amatsu feud and Gai's a pretty good archetype. Corrupt CEOs are almost a staple in hero shows (I think), and I'm happy they're doing it here.
What else were they gonna do? Have time travel or aliens pop up? Another Humagear uprising so soon after the Metsuboujinrai arc?
Back to Gai...
He's meant to be unlikable because he's the, as you said, the darkness to Aruto's light. Aruto may not be a good CEO, but he's got a lot of heart (business smarts might come up in the next arc, though, maybe?).
Every time he's on screen, with that callous grin on his face.... I want to dump juice on his outfit. Gallons of grape juice. Just to inconvenience him.
We have anywhere between 16 and 20 episodes left in this show, and I'd say that's enough for a final arc. Three act structure and all that.
Very excited for what happens next.
Also, I'd also liked it if Aruto used something like an AIMS Shotriser if only Hiden's CEO can use the Hiden Zero-One Driver.
I'm not sure how they're going to explain how Aruto can use it, but I'm sure they didn't explicitly state it shuts down for anyone but the CEO... so it's probably the exception (being the "only belt of its kind" against all the mass-produced belts) not the rule.
