It's possible that Dark Treats are being used to subjugate the lower-class Granutes under the control of Stomach Inc. through their addictive qualities. You can't question the rule of your rulers if they're feeding you food that causes severe withdrawal symptoms after all. If this theory ends up being correct or close to the truth, then there's some real Promised Neverland stuff going on here.

My theory has not been entirely proven or disproven, and there seems to be some differences to what I was guessing, but I called it; the Dark Treats are part of Stomach Inc's ploy to take over/influence Granute society from the shadows. I had a feeling those things were illegal; human farms would've been a thing if they were.

Would be interesting if Gavv teams up with Granute law enforcement or something llike that in the future, but I digress.

And hot dang, Shouma's father is messed up. Dude controlled Shouma and his mother because he 'loves' them. I don't think I've seen this kind of family dynamic in Kamen Rider before, and this franchise is no stranger to dysfunctional relationships. Also, it's obviosuly not gonna be said outright due to this being a kid's show, but this episode pretty much confirms that Shouma was born from rape.
