Along with the complicated setup like feigning being corrupted with Ark to make sure that the fight is done to the death so Aruto can be "independent". Why making yourself dead in the process? Kids would rather have their parents around right even if they're already an adult. Another showing of Soreo having poor grasp of being a parent here. This is an alter(ed)nate timeline, but dunno if Soreo would pull BS like this?

I'm also left wondering what happened to the Aruto of this timeline, since a) Headphones Dad didn't get blown up to leave him a double-orphan this time; and b) the AIMS crew knows exactly who he is, so he must still be around in the present? (As a criminal/fugitive, based on every Humagear trying to hunt him down.) So, like, what was Headphones Dad doing with his human son during a global purge of humanity for an entire decade? Please stop doing alternate timelines if you aren't going to put any effort into it, Kamen Rider!
