KR Zero-One 16 released

[PurpleHat]

So....what was the point of having Izu hit by Jin if she just got fixed in the next episode? I understand it can be used as a character building moment for Aruto & Izu, but it frankly wasn't needed. Their relationship is already established so it didn't need to happen. Only thing I can see is if it at some point leads to a delayed Izu hacking by Jin.

I love me some Yaiba, but come on! Why are you sticking with ZAIA when you know your heart lies with Hiden Intelligence/A.I.M.S.???

This better not be some "I got rejected by Hiden Intelligence in the past and I'm in my feelings so I'm going to screw Hiden in the future. Also, monies." For the moment it feels as though Gai wants to sully the Hiden name so he can take it over and get mad rich by selling anti AI tech, and that's rather lame. I'd rather it be him being full anti AI and manipulating MestubouJinrai.Net to show the world the perils of relying on AI.

Could you guys switch to 810p TVRips until TTFC changes their 2-pass encoding method that they’ve been doing since last 2/3 weeks?

It's so bothering that the video are always in low quality even in HD, especially during the high speed motion fighting scene.

Yeah, I have to second this request. As someone who first advocated for the TTFC rips, they've been great up until now. But whatever it is Toei has started doing, they're notably worse than they used to be.

I have a theory that while Zaia is the antagonist of this next arc, the ark will probably be back.

Jin being the final boss of this part was kind of lame considering that Zero One and Horobi never faced off, but given he’s still alive I imagine they’ll do something cool with him.

[DeMatgic]

So a Reddit thread brought up a few points in regards to Horobi: Has he already passed singularity, considering he was following the Ark's will up to the very "end"? And does he know that the Ark's will was more or less fabricated by a human? It's these kind of things that makes you think, especially since we aren't getting a new episode until next week.

I would imagine Horobi didn't reach singularity, especially if you contrast him with Jin. Jin always questioned things, even if he went along with them in the end. He was more willing to show empathy towards others and it was obvious he was learning as the first arc progressed. Horobi, on the other hand, was pretty bland all things considered. Everything was done as the Ark willed it, not once questioning or showing emotion. If we compare Horobi to other Humagear's who did reach singularity/showed signs of it, they all show some type of human emotion towards their craft while Horobi doesn't.

It's possible Horobi reached singularity and chose to align himself with the Ark's wishes and never swayed, but I think it's more likely he hasn't.

[Catastrophe]

I imagine that the Arc doesn’t know at this point that it was a tool either.

[takenoko]

Personally, Horobi has never seemed like he had any sentience to me. He literally only ever followed orders and didn't seem to understand anything in any way more than a machine would. Heck, Jin had more emotions than Horobi ever did.

[DeMatgic]

It's just weird that he hasn't become sentient since he seems to be one of- if not the- oldest Humagears as he helped instigate the Daybreak incident, and yet several newer models approached it first including Jin and Izu.

And I have doubts that Ark doesn't know since it made the progrise keys for Gai to take.

[resop2]

I think that Hirobi is a special case of humageers since he either ripped his own ears off or had them ripped off.

[PurpleHat]

It's hard to say what causes singularity, since the show doesn't explain it very well. We're aware of the signs when one is approaching singularity, but the actual cause I don't believe has been mentioned yet. I do think cutting off the ear pieces does help stave it off, as we've seen it be part of how a Humagear learns. Perhaps we could say it is the part of them that engages with cognitive learning, so a Humagear who isn't able to do so will be more or less, a robot.

That said, does Jin have his ears cut off or are they a different model? I know Horobi and Jin have different "ears", so do they function differently?

16 Episodes at the moment, plots and twists fills up the screen.
Let me guess, ZAIA want to take over Hiden Technology, in order to further world domination/destruction, to what cost?
In a real world, tech companies (The big ones) try to swallow the smaller players, so they are out of the equation, as it becomes impossible to compete in a volatile market.
Take the example of the recent audacious bid from Fuji-Xerox to HP Shareholders for an aggressive bid to buy the computer, Printer and IT related services it offers; can Fuji-Xerox win?
The same could be applied to the KR Zero-One scenario, however, as this is a fiction series, (and Toei does not have a clue how to develop a solid plot), because the series is aimed to "children", it will probably come up with unrealistic portrayal of how a corporate world works!
To me "the Ark" is probably a computer with its own instruction set, programmed to destroy all human life, does ZAIA president wants to rule over a world with robots?
At this point, with this speculation, it would be outlandish, a series the viewers will lose interest watching a crap story.
There is so much to ask for a good series.
To all TV-Nihon crew I wish you a Happy New Year 2020, same for all members who post their thoughts that makes this forum grow more and more!

Didn't Krim create the Roidmudes???

He did, but by the end of Drive before he went underground (episode 47) he came to this realization and told this to Shinnosuke due to Banno's initial corruption, or something around those lines. If I remember correctly, that's why he buried all of Drive's stuff. Watching this episode made me think about that series and that message.

Also, Happy New Year to you guys as well! Glad to spend see down another decade.

Krim Steinbelt did not developed the Roidmudes, it was Banno, Thought the Roidmudes and the Humagears are almost similar in concept, the only difference in KR Zero-One is that these Androids mostly serve humans, MetsubouJinrai.net intend to corrupt these androids to carry out human race annihilation from the face of earth.
Now the series focus to another direction, ZAIA president Gai Amatsu, plans world domination, at the same time uses the A.I.M.S agent as pawns for his evil plans.
There is no much info gathered, so the series may go up and down, lest wait what happens when the series resume probably this Sunday.
