It's small thing, but I appreciated that Shining Assault Hopper going all out was actually able to tie with Thouser. Emphasis on tie, because Aruto still needed the mid-season upgrade to finally make up the difference. But it was a good scene for Aruto's pure rage and for Shining Assault Hopper.

Fuwa has really been leaning into being a cop lately, I guess because without Metsuboujinrai and the fact that they're actually fighting humans that's all his job is at this point. But it's nice to see him working with Aruto and working with a Humagear.

And the raw power on display is very effective, especially against Thouser.

"I've come up with a brilliant plan of giving my Archrival a new Progrise Key that will connect him with the Ark and make him rampage! He may be more powerful than me, but I've totally figured out how to make that work to my advantage and there is no way this will come back to bite me in the future!" - Gai, probably.
