* LaughingMad: Thouser is doing a lot of this. Specifically, after having success into make Zero one unable to do anything making the ''Ark'' take control of him AND made him unable to use any other Progrise keys just as planned, it doesn't helps that Yua filmed everything.

* AllAccordingToPlan: Despite being soundly thrashed by Metal Cluster Hopper, Gai is not bothered, declaring that [=ZAIA=]'s scenario will now move forward at 1000%, indicating that Metal Cluster Hopper will play a large roll in his scheme.

* TheBerserker: Much like [[Series/KamenRiderBuild Build's Hazard form]] and [[Series/KamenRiderOOO OOO's PuToTyra combo]] Zero-One was incapable to control his action and attacked ally and foe alike. [[DownplayedTrope However]], unlike Build mindlessly going berserk, [[FightingFromTheInside Aruto constantly resisted the influence]] [[WeaponWieldsYou from Ark's Metal Cluster Hopper from controlling him completely]] [[Series/KamenRiderDrive much like Drive and Mach's Deadheat form.]]
* ChekhovsGag: Fuwa's tendency to brute force his way through technology comes in handy once more, this time to rip the Zero-One Driver off of Aruto to stop the Metal Cluster Hopper from killing Gai.
* TheCorruption: When Aruto first merges with Metal Cluster Hopper, the usual white space filled with numbers becomes filled with Japanese words that spell out ''hate'', ''war'', ''abuse'', ''evil'' and other negative things that consumes him. This indicates that Ark overriding Zero-One's Rider system and hijacking the suit.
* CurbStompBattle: Zero-One's Metal Cluster Hopper finished off both Dynamiting Lion Raider and Thouser without barely lifting a finger on any of them.
* FightingFromTheInside: Despite Ark actively trying to make Aruto go berserk from the Metal Cluster Hopper Progrise Key's influence, he constantly resisted said influence albeit unsuccessful.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gai created the Metal Cluster Hopper Progrise Key seemingly to take down Zero-One once and for all but never occured to him that will bite him in the ass later on.

** In previous episodes, it was Zero-One' Shining Hopper got defeated by the new arrival of Thouser, in this episode it was '''''Thouser''''' got defeated by Zero-One's Metal Cluster Hopper.

** Gai calls out Masuji/the Dynamiting Lion Raider for abusing his company's ZAIASPEC for malicious purposes. Aruto arrives, and calls ''Gai'' out for having the nerve to say that, being the one who abused the ''Ark'' for his own malicious purposes in the first place

* LaughingMad: Metal Cluster Hopper is doing a lot of this. Specifically, ''Ark'' is doing the laughing, since it's the one running the suit, not Aruto.

** In previous episodes, it was Zero-One' Shinning Hopper got defeated by the new arrival of Thouser, in this episode it was '''''Thouser''''' got defeated by Zero-One's Metal Cluster Hopper.

* {{Irony}}: In previous episodes, it was Zero-One' Shinning Hopper got defeated by the new arrival of Thouser, in this episode it was '''''Thouser''''' got defeated by Zero-One's Metal Cluster Hopper.
** To add to it, the one beating Gai wasn't Aruto, but ''Ark'', the same AI he'd MaddenedIntoMisanthropy.

* InternalReveal: Aruto finally learns that Gai was the one that programmed the Ark with the malice of humans and has been responsible for all the [=HumaGear=] rampages. Needless to say, he's developed a full-on hatred against Gai.

* ChekhovsGag: Fuwa's tendency to brute force his way through technology comes in handy once more, [[spoiler: this time to rip the Zero-One Driver off of Aruto to stop the Metal Cluster Hopper from killing Gai]].
