One of the great things about Rider to begin with is how most seasons are standalone stories that are all allowed to do their own thing and be wildly different from the last, and having the objective of each be having to deal with some edgy Evol Black Hole wannabe would quickly diminish that. Aruto's angst over his dead secretary is not capable of carrying a story for long.

Not only that, but Aruto was the one person in the whole show who never had any malice. After he lost his company, lost the Humagears, he never turned to anger. Now that he’s full of malice Ark is essentially validated as even the purest, most idealistic human can turn to hate. Him possessing Aruto is almost gloating about this fact.

Ironic that one of my beefs with Aruto is that he's mostly basic in terms of personality, as in the all goody two shoes hero, and now he's the new form of the personification of evil. I wonder if it was intentional on how he doesn't have much of a personality except pure good since his worldview passes on to the other characters in the show and change because of him. If the show did have the balls to kill him off in the end, then I'd be fitting. His grandpa died leaving a legacy, and now the same for Aruto leaving a lasting legacy behind.

I'm just happy that the final stretch of episodes excites me this much. Nothing against the last few past shows, Build and Ex-Aid had great final episodes, but you know where it would shift to eventually. They set up a final bad guy, the good guys fight him. Arguably that's the same thing happening here, but the main Rider actually becoming the last enemy to face himself is so cool.
By the way - if it gets to aggravating and you guys feel like sitting down and relax after all of this is over; I know a good place... ... I don’t think possession is at work here, at least I don't hope it is. Possession means they can eventually write it off as "Ark used Aruto in his weakest moment" so the majority of the blame shifts to the Ark again. From what I've understood in this episode, Ark can never truly die because as malice exists within humans another one will be born. Doesn’t even have to be an AI, could also be a human with a belt. Just the concept of a malicious being threatening the world means "Ark" will be reborn. So that's what why we saw Horobi "becoming" Ark at the beginning, that was the most likely scenario of a new Ark being created. And that's what I hope is happening here, Aruto is on the verge of becoming the next being to be called Ark. I like this more because he might succumb to it fully or with the help of his friends work himself out of this mess, and I think that’ better than Fuwa and the gang pulling Ark-One's mask off, Scooby-Doo style, and being like "It was the Ark all along!". |

If I recall I believe Sho Hayami got his flowers already, so the Ark we've seen since the President's Specials is probably permanently gone at this point. He is now a predecessor to this new Ark.
It not that it's Ark manipulating Aruto, Ark died in the satellite. But his legacy, his title will be passed on so long as there's malice. More so it's Azu pulling the strings, but mostly to crown someone new with the title of "Ark" by coming to Aruto in his weakest moment. Cause like, you all saw that grin, how he grabbed for it without much coercing from Azu. This was his choice even if he likely wasn't in the right mental state. |

if aruto dies, that's just extreme poor writing because his death justifies nothing more than it was just about his revenge for izu and horobi and ark wins plus everything aruto has worked up for this whole season and just throws it away.
im confident he will come out if it, he just has to believe in his dream and himself, he can make things happen and rebuild izu because he was zero-two progrise key that has izu's data and use asu to bring her back. it would a dumb cop out if they killed aruto. |

In that way, Horobi created the worst possible enemy. He created a new Ark for humanity's malice. But the original Ark's malice and hatred for humanity was only fueled by data. The concepts of negative human emotions meant nothing to him other than they needed to be destroyed. Now Aruto is the Ark. Filled with true malice. True hatred. Everything the Ark thought it was is now true in Aruto. He's not possessed. He simply has taken the mantle of the Ark to get revenge for Izu. |

That's the most important part of this. People keep saying it's just the Ark possessing Aruto, but it's not. As you say, the Ark is gone. Destroyed along with the satellite. Aruto is filled with grief and hatred and loss. He believed in Horobi. He literally took a bullet for Horobi when he had faced off against Thouser. Imagine having that near unwavering belief that all the Humagears are worth saving, even if it means sacrificing yourself for them, but then the one you tried to help the most? He kills the one closest to you. Not only that, but kills someone innocent in cold blood because she believed that Horobi was more than hatred for humanity.

In term of malice, we expect gai to become arc 0 since thouser essentially is the polar opposite to 01 so 02 vs arc0. Now, we're introducing to last minute power house charscter like new CEO or zaia perhaps he's the CEO of zaia international . Clever way out azu in. Thought she was one off for Clip show .5 series .
