To me, this is a passing of the torch fight since Horobi's suit actor was Seiji Takaiwa, the suit actor for almost all main Heisei Riders, while Zero-One's suit actor was Yuya Nawata who has so far been two main Reiwa Riders
Yea. That was the behind the scenes intention of this battle. It was planned from the start Horobi and Aruto would fight each other in the final episode.
I interprate it as something around "learning by yourself". You know how AI learns something by giving commands in response to something. They used here the word "realize" that they learned, not by another's input, but by their own experiences, reaching a "conclusion".
Zero one honestly seemed like the one rider whose cause is pointless. Trying to convince humans to allow machines to replace our every day lives doesn’t sound like a world I want to live in.
@@555kaiz 02 is an actual different form with its own ability to predict different outcomes of reality. Realizing is just a buffed Rising meant to be able to keep up with Ark Scorpion
Abilitywise 02 is about prediction upon prediction at fractions of a second while Realizing is the peak of normal 01 performance. Storywise, 02 is superior to Ark Scorpion and could've wrecked Horobi entirely, but destroying him would've kicked off likely the civil war between humans and gears considering how strained things had gotten by this point. Realizing had just enough power to break Ark off of Horobi and free him from its malicious influence, meaning both he and Aruto could work towards a much more benevolent future.
