Huh. I just made it to the introduction of Metal Cluster Hopper & I think I finally figured out what Gai was doing.
By then, we know that Gai was responsible for turning the Ark against Humans & wanted to take down Hidden Intelligence, we just didn't know why at that point in the series. When he made Metal Cluster Hopper, the intention was to make the Zero-One Driver inoperable by Aruto by scaring him out of using it, so Aruto would never figure out what Gai had done with the Ark & possibly swing public favor against Zaia, or lay all the blame for what the Humagear had done this far on him. There is a scene where Gai & Yaiba are making it where he literally says as much out loud. I don't know if we missed it before, or it was translated awkwardly by the fan subs & went right over our heads, but I think all of that stuff makes sense, now.
Interesting theory. Too bad Gai ended up a joke of a villain in the long run.
We're going to be finishing the series tonight and watching the movie either Tues or Wed.
Then it'll be the post-movie stuff that I downloaded the fansubs for.
