I get that they're rivals, and Ace plays to win, but it's also the reason why I didn't like Ace this time. When we just finished an episode that tried to play Mary off as the backstabber, Ace honestly comes off as much worse.

I agree, they really overdid it. The fact is that they slipped us a protagonist for whom profit comes first and he helps others only when he is sure that this will not prevent him from winning. In fact, this only confirms that Ace needs character development, as he doesn't do the right thing with a swaggering face like Tsukasa. It looks like Gits is actually capable of villainy.
I hope that Keiwa will be able to fix he, although so far everything is going to the opposite.
P.S. In general, Ace is very lucky that he is not in Ryuki. Odin just counted on guys like him.
