The conclusion to this two-parter was appropriately grim and dramatic, letting the treachery and shifting fortunes leak in from the in-universe TV show designed to Humagears to Japanese adults. (I really? man, I really wish this show had even a little leaned into joking about trying to work in more Hiden product placement, or showing off the Q2 merch at the expense of the story. Wasted opportunity!) Good guys are caught in the crossfire, the best intentions trap our heroes, and everything turns to shit while the bad guys celebrate their victories.

Now there's the result of Assassin-chan's adaptation, Dodo Magia CUSTOM. compared to previous version of him, now the CUSTOM version has additional armor that makes it immune to the Attache Shotgun (that defeated its previous form), as homing missile launchers on the shoulders, smoke bomb launchers on the forearms, and machine guns mounted in the chest, which are supplied by magazines on its back. All of that, is why the heroes didn't successfully beat Assassin-chan here. Otherwise, regarding how Assassin before turned into Owada's disciple, Horobi turned that around to make Assassin-chan think that his graduation from learning to Owada is targeting him as next victim, so now Assassin-chan got some twisted view regarding mentor and disciple.

It?s the old Garbage In, Garbage Out thing, where any system is going to break down (BREAK DOWN) if all you feed it is bad data. If Oowada looks at Enji as a machine that?ll never be a real actor, that?s all Oowada?s going to get out of him. But if Oowada approaches the relationship with generosity and patience, with the goal of improving Enji, then they can both benefit from the partnership. It?s asking Oowada to see the collaborative aspects of acting, and telescoping that out to a human/Humagear future.

Before Aruto is deemed as taking too much backseat (not wrong), but of course, it being two parter means there'd be Aruto's time later. Before they're really wanting to focus on Assassin-chan. As usual, Aruto had to going out of the limb to explain Humagear's potential. Of which, it's the rewarding one for Aruto that Owada considered Aruto's points and actually finds some relation to Aruto's Humagear's experience, as often it'd be someone being dragged into lengthy debates with many people only wanting to make a point of their own, and have no interest to open up their mind to hear other opinions, though they pretend to be willing to hear other's views. Which can make it pointless and thus, Aruto can be suggested to stop acting like the Deneb to Yuto's Humagears (please get along with Humagears.. for their positive effects) instead.

And once more, this shows about how Humagears are like humans in how, both of them didn't start out good, but they work up and/or guided to become good, and Enji not being that good yet should be treated like struggling human actors (if they're tolerant) instead of just a machine. Though are actors should be the capable ready? Which'd mean Enji should be sent into actor schools or something. Perhaps what I missed in this was that I'd like for Owada to get to know the true nature of Assassin-chan, not only in how he's a villain, but also about how the actor he praised before was also a robot, thus giving him a proof of robot's capabilities.

He?s warm and confident as he tells Aruto that he should really consider selling his company to Gai, since Gai is currently in the process of immolating Hiden Intelligence. It?s a threat that Aruto never considered, and it?s one he?s even less prepared to confront than the one he?s already doing a shit job at containing. This is an episode that?s nothing but Ls for our heroes, the end, roll credits.

Previously, you criticized Horobi by also bringing up Kuroto, yeah it'd be too fast, the actual guy to compare is here, though it's quite obvious as he's also a corrupt CEO. But which Dan?? Kuroto or Masamune? Both are Dans and, they're like father like son... or you refer to both? But of course this'd be another challenge for Aruto. As a Humagear, he'd have to deal with maintaining public trust to them, malevolent faction trying to hack them and risking that trust, and getting into problem with the authorities like AIMS, and as a President, other than jealous co-workers, with Jun staging another coup in this episode, there'd be actual corrupt companies that'd resort to any means to get more profit and/or take down their competitors, and what I said there, would be something much more important than it sounds.
