Gai is just Elon Musk and if you insult him his stans pop out of the walls to remind you you're just jealous that he's eternally 24, that's how he gets away with all of this.

But yeah, episode was pretty good (as usual)! Was Naki's development a little rushed? Maybe, but when they can realise that being a tool faster than an actual person (Hi Yua) is bad and Gai ain't worth listening to, I'm all for it. Especially since they seem to be going more Jin's way that Horobi. What is Horobi up to these days? Napping in the base or something, who knows. Also, that scene with the shadow in the base - top direction.

Yua I continue to like, but more as a case of "Hmm, she's interesting" than having ever done anything likeable. Especially since, this episode, she seems to have fully resigned herself to working with ZAIA, coming up with the big "Use the old Upgrade plan"... and Gai still isn't happy. Probably because it didn't work, but still. Her motivation seems to be "ZAIA already owns me, may as well put my energy into that and hope things get better"... and she's just about realising that part c of that is never going to happen. Gai will never give her the "Good job Yua" she craves, and her Horseshoe Crab friends have even less personality than the Hell Bro's, so they're never going to go drinking with her. Maybe once upon a time she thought ZAIA had a point, but now, she's only doing it because what other options does she have? As if Fuwa's going to accept her after all she's done to him in the name of our copyrghted lord ZAIA enterprises! (Predictions for what will happen next week - that.)

Actual Humagear plot of the epsode was good, good episode.
