And even if it doesn't make complete sense in the face of reality or Horobi's own actions, it's Aruto's earnestness that seems to still get through to Horobi like it did with Jin.

Yeah, like... I don't mind Aruto doing something dumb like defending a genocidal terrorist from a deranged plutocrat, but I need there to at least be an acknowledgement from someone within the show that is a real Hail Mary of a move from our main character. If Aruto's gonna be like Dads Are Magic, then I need literally anyone to point out that Horobi is not exactly gunning for Robot Father Of The Year.

Unless I'm misremembering, Aruto brings up that Horobi's the same type of Robot Dad as his own. The show's definitely trying to tie together Horobi's role as parent with Aruto's upbringing.

No, this is basically a publicity stunt because he knows he needs to keep the masses shut up somehow. He could've done this at any time but instead he only reacts to a very bad hacking because he needs to. He's not doing this for anyone, he's just making sure his sales go up. So it's very much a case in which... should you really root for him?

I didn't even see this as a "publicity stunt", so much as Gai being furious about MetsubouJinrai screwing with his company. Gai showing up to their hideout with an army was just for revenge.
