I assume you feel that way because like, everyone in Zero-One has some good dynamic movement when it comes to them in general, so they're able to pull off really fun stunt-like finishers compared to other Riders.

I think the problem for me is that, with the weapon attacks, the movement is the same every time, it's just a different CGI explosion. Like, every ax attack looks like every other ax attack, but sometimes it's a blue light show instead of a red light show. With a non-weapon finisher, there's a huge variety of physicality to them, a lot of it situational.

If Aruto attacks, Gai could simply claim that Aruto tried to murder him to salvage his waning reputation, and then Aruto would go to jail and Gai would won by default.

Yeah, the whole point of Thouser's attack on a duly-deputized agent of the state is that he's trying to destroy evidence that would negatively impact his reputation. The whole fight is happening in a totally deniable way. I don't think anyone's worried about secret identities at this point.
