The more I think about it, the more I would’ve liked it if Aruto gets a completely new HumaGear secretary at the end. Not even manufactured, he just sits in this office; a new HumaGear comes in and takes place next to him.

"Who are you?"
"The presidential aide. Every president requires one."

And as he hesitates, wants to send it out because of fear and grief, he accepts this turn of fate to have a new HumaGear that can learn from him and that he can share his life with.

That would’ve been ok. Building a copy of your dead friend to give into your trauma really isn't. But yes, Izu needs to be back for future movies/crossovers yada yada so of course they brought her back…

I'm currently evidently butthurt but yes - I loved watching Zero-One. It was very good; I doubt the ending will have a lasting negative impact on me.
