The mock wedding ceremony between a human and a HumaGear challenged the notion of establishing themselves as a couple! However, Match goes berserk at the wedding and turns into a Magia, just when another Raider suddenly appears as well! Aruto transforms into the forbidden MetalCluster Hopper form to stop the fight, but he is unable to control his new form, and he also goes on a rampage! Gai Amatsu transforms into Kamen Rider Thouser to fight him, but as Zero-One and Thouser are fighting, the HumaGear Enji Matsuda, who played the role of the pastor in the mock wedding ceremony, is suddenly taken over by the power of the Ark emerging from MetalCluster Hopper!


  • All Your Powers Combined: Early on in the episode, Thouser is able to defeat (and send Aruto in a 3 day coma) MetalCluster Hopper by using a finisher powered by every single ability he's stolen, sans Shining Assault Hopper.
  • Androcles' Lion: Izu is able to create the Progrise Hopper Blade from the data of HumaGears that Aruto has helped across the series thus far.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Like before, Gai is utterly trounced by MetalCluster Hopper. Only this time, Aruto is in the driver seat.
  • Didn't See That Coming: Upon witnessing Aruto not only somehow regain control of his body and control the power of MetalCluster Hopper, but the Progrise Hopper Blade giving him the ability to restore a Magia back to normal, well... it's completely understandable that Gai utterly flips his shit, seeing as he never anticipated something like this happening.
  • Fourth-Date Marriage: How the Marriage mini-arc ends. Teruo proposes to Chiharu while on a beach and she accepts. What makes it this trope is that the proposal happens within the three days Aruto was knocked unconscious and in the hospital!
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Thouser activates his Amazing Caucasus Thousand Break, Rushing Cheetah and Lightning Hornet can be seen among the other Progrise Keys he absorbed, confirming that he jacked the former off-screen, and acquired the latter either through the Thousand Break or jacking it later.
  • Healing Shiv: On top of freeing Aruto from the Ark's malevolent influence and allowing the Zero-One Driver to access other Progrise Keys again, the Progrise Hopper Blade also allows Aruto to return any HumaGear that was turned into a Magia back to normal, as demonstrated by his Progrising Strash reverting Enji to his HumaGear appearance instead of destroying him as any other Finisher would.
  • Human Shield: When MetalCluster Hopper was about to deal him a devastating strike with his Progrise Hopper Blade, Thouser tried to shield himself using Magia Enji. Fortunately, the strike returned Enji to normal rather than destroy him.
  • Out of Focus: Despite ending off the arc that started in the previous episode, the main focal characters (Match, Chiharu, and Nikaido) only get a few scenes to tie up loose ends, and the only connection it has with purifying MetalCluster Hopper is Enji Matsuda's involvement in both.
  • The Power of Friendship: The Progrise Hopper Blade is a weaponized version as it was designed from not only the MetalCluster Hopper Progrise Key's combat data, but also the data from all the HumaGear Aruto has helped and saved throughout the series. This becomes instrumental in overriding Aruto's connection to the Ark and returning him back to Zea while allowing him to gain full control over MetalCluster Hopper.
  • Stealth Pun: Given the Progrise Hopper Blade is hybrid sword and Progrise Key, that would make it a Progrise Keyblade.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Aruto gains control of MetalCluster Hopper, achieves his first genuine victory against Thouser, and is now able to restore Magia to normal without destroying them, which in turn gains more contracts for Hiden Intelligence now that there is a measure against HumaGears going berserk.
  • Wham Shot: Isamu discovers that Horobi has escaped A.I.M.S. custody. And the preview shows off what appears to be a red Kamen Rider Jin, implying that either Jin has returned or someone else is adopting the Kamen Rider Jin persona.
    • There's also one part during the montage of Humagears scanning their respective Humagear Progrise keys. Mastuda Enji's key was scanned along with the other Humagears to contribute to the good will to counteract the ARK's Malice. Which was strange because he was hacked by the ARK through it's influence on Zero-One using the MetalCluster key. This was an earlier indication prior to the twist that Enji was faking being hacked the entire time.
