So yeah I will personally agree with anyone who say's that Aruto shouldn't have been Hiden Intelligence's President again. Like I don't know, do a joint partnership between Manufacturing and Intelligence, Fukuzoe giving Aruto the funding via Intelligence so that Manufacturing can get all the Humagear's out to everyone. I feel like that might've been a better solution.

That being said... while I was amused and enjoyed Horobi as a simplistic villain before, I really loved this episode for him. You can tell at the start he's still firm in his belief's about the Ark but he's slowly but surely cracking under the fact that Ark despite being able to easily recover, is not addressing them and is simply auto attacking the infrastructure without them. It's such a good change in motivation, and I love that despite defeating Ark, we've turned what it represents more into an actual concept/ideal.

"So long as human's have evil in their hearts, the Ark can return" and like, that's not a false statement in the slightest! It was thanks to Gai's animosity towards what Hiden was becoming that he filled a satellite full with malicious data. Who's to say someone else won't do something like that or worse again.

Other highlights of the episode to me, Fuwa's laugh being timed with the explosion, the short but sweet moments we get with Naki and Raiden. Some familiar faces in the Humagear's returning, that made me smile, 119nosuke's return in particular. Oh and of course, Ark attempting to retaliate only for Raiden and his bro to beat it to the punch and blow up Satellite Zea which as you described, as seen by Aruto, is not that fancy of an ending for Ark which is fitting.
