Another great episode, and an end to an arc that I don't exactly have fond memories of, this is one of the best episodes in Zero-One to me. I really like the characters in this one, with Aruto reaffirming that he sees HumaGears as equal to humans, and Jin, who isn't really an enemy anymore as he and Aruto share pretty similar beliefs at this point and him even getting Izu back, even if it was for his own reasons. Gai also tries to delete the data on HumaGears from Zea, but Aruto already has it, which I guess shows that the Taro special was actually a bit plot important if you look at it that way.

Aruto sorta sacrifices himself for Izu but is saved by the data of Mamoru, which is a nice fit, though it does make you wonder how strong those data packs are, since apparently they can stop bullets without breaking. Aruto tries to become Zero-One but is unable to, but at the last second he manages to do it, and at first you think it's from some convoluted reason, but apparently Izu just set up a new business with Aruto as president, which I guess is good enough for Zea. I do like this episode, along with this next arc, and I think this episode is one of the best in the series, though there's still one I like more, but we'll get to that.
