Episode 16(and I guess, by extension, 15) is also a contender for my favorite episode of the season.
Everything about them just comes together so perfectly for me. Especially in regards to one of Zero-One's' biggest themes: That being how the previous generation can often instill hatred and negativity bias into the current one.
Jin being the final boss of the first act is superb. His singularity being reached under a specific circumstance due to the machinations of the Ark is a great angle at turning Jin into a sort of dark mirror to Aruto. Like, the Ark and Horobi literally set Jin up to get the classic hero motivation/power-up of losing a loved one, only it's being done for one of the villains. Both in-universe and meta-wise, I found that to be absolutely brilliant.
But true to form, it's not the blind hatred and despair of Jin that wins the day, but the symbol of peace and unity in Aruto. Shining Assault Hopper serving as both the literal and symbolic union of not just Humans and Humagears, but of Aruto and Fuwa is just icing on the cake.
Absolutely wonderful two-parter that serves as both an end to the first Act and the beginning of the second. Love it.
And yes, I am 1000% prepared to be the Only Second Act of Zero-One Fan. Just as I was the Only First Act of Zi-O Fan.
