I just find Ai-chan amusing on several levels because seemingly what Fuwa needed the most was a disembodied voice therapist to help him talk through his feelings. Like, I think Aruto just made a possibly incredible technological innovation in technology and artificial intelligence right there, and it's basically a more self-aware and talkative Alexa.

And, I mean, she's voiced by MAO who just can't seem to resist coming back to tokusatsu even after taking off as a voice actor. First Sentai, then Sentai again, then Rider, and eventually Ultraman...like, she's been every major tokusatsu franchise except I guess Garo? But that's less frequent. But anyways it's just always nice to hear her.

It's nice to see where Fuwa gets his sense of humor from and there's a genuine warmth and natural domestic vibe with his family, giving Fuwa some sense of closure, although you really have to wonder if this family has any idea that their oldest son is alive and what he's doing now.

Kamen Rider Ark-Zero! As far as Big Bad Riders go, I feel like Ark as a Rider basically encapsulates everything he has been built up to be...just pure, raw, and hardcore machinery taken to it's most grotesque state, fitting for a being created from an AI bred from malice and concerned only with the annihilation of humanity even if it's at the expense of those who are loyal to it. And in true evil Rider fashion it basically wrecks everybody in its way, even when it seems like they've won.
