I always enjoyed how Aruto's heroism was bound up in the dream of a better future for Humagears. Now he's mad at Horobi for murdering Izu. We have an Evil Aruto (for the aesthetic value of Evil, anyway), but I'm not sure how Aruto wanting to murder Horobi is discussing the same things as Horobi's desire to destroy humanity, or inverting Aruto's previous belief of societal protections for Humagears. It's
hatred
, sure, but not really bigotry or intolerance.

I don't think Horobi and Izu's actions in this instance was idiotic or boring. For Izu, it was easy to argue because she basically had just seen Aruto died again with her own eyes. Of course she wouldn't want to worry and bring Aruto to this mess which could claim the single important person in Izu's life. I hugely criticized the interaction between characters outside their faction a lot. Aruto and Izu, though? They were the two characters with the strongest bond in the series that I would buy Izu didn't consider her own safety and life if it was for Aruto's sake.
Sure! Aruto's grief over Izu;s death is, in isolation, enormously affecting and completely the sort of thing that would make Aruto lose his moral compass. It's just... I wish it hadn't started by fridging Izu. I wish the whole scene where Horobi kills Izu didn't feel so much like a plot machination, a sacrifice built specifically to make Aruto murderously unhinged. Like I mentioned in the episode post, there are elements I like
metaphorically
, and Aruto's turn is one of them. I just don't like how the show chose to get there.

Really super strange!
I thought this was really funny, actually. Horobi puts out a Humagear-wide call for terrorism buddies, and he barely gets enough participants to face Hiden Intelligence's
softball team
. (Go Hiden Figures!) Sounds like Aruto's support of Humagears is paying off!
