In Project ARMS season 1 episode 19 titled "Snark Hunt," the plot thickens as we get closer to discovering who the true villain behind the White Knights' organization is. Ryo Takatsuki and his friends find themselves in a bit of a bind as they face off against a new enemy who is unlike anyone they have ever faced before.
The episode begins with Keith White, the Chairman of Egrigori, delivering a speech to his subordinates about the importance of finding the true identity of the Snark - the mysterious figure behind all the chaos they have been experiencing. Keith believes that the Snark is someone who is very close to them, and he orders his team to redouble their efforts in capturing him.
Meanwhile, Ryo and his friends are still reeling from their encounter with the ARMS terrorist group, the Marrow. They are also worried about the fact that they have no concrete evidence to link the White Knights to the Marrow's activities. As they discuss their next course of action, they are suddenly attacked by a new ARMS monster who possesses the ability to move at super speed. It is later revealed that this is the work of a new White Knight agent, Sidewinder, who is on a mission to capture Ryo and his friends.
The two sides clash in a fierce battle, with Ryo and his friends struggling to keep up with Sidewinder's blinding speed. However, the tables turn when Ryo manages to use his ARMS ability to predict Sidewinder's movements and land a powerful blow. Sidewinder is knocked unconscious, and the group decides to take him back to their base for questioning.
Back at their base, the group interrogates Sidewinder, trying to find out what he knows about the White Knights and the Snark. Their questioning is cut short when they receive a distress signal from their friend Katsumi, who has been kidnapped by the Marrow. Ryo and the gang rush off to rescue her, leaving Sidewinder behind.
As they travel to the Marrow's hideout, Ryo and the others find themselves ambushed by a group of heavily armed ARMS monsters. It seems that the Marrow has no intentions of letting them get away with Katsumi without a fight.
The ensuing battle is intense, with both sides unleashing their most powerful attacks. However, Ryo and his friends are able to defeat the monsters and rescue Katsumi. With the Marrow defeated, the group returns to their base, exhausted but relieved.
As they catch their breath, Ryo receives a phone call from a mysterious figure who claims to know the true identity of the Snark. The figure offers to meet with Ryo and reveal everything he knows, but Ryo is hesitant to trust him. Nevertheless, he decides to go, and the episode ends with Ryo setting out to meet this mysterious informant.
"Snark Hunt" is an action-packed episode that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. With new enemies and unexpected twists, this episode sets the stage for an even more exciting conclusion to season 1 of Project ARMS.
