I hate the Blade suit. All 4 Riders have cool gauntlets though.

Why do you hate it? What's wrong with it?

The best way I can describe is the suits in Blade are clean. There's nothing distracting, just smooth lines and awesome. Especially Blade himself. Need me a figuart of him so bad.

Could I ask why?

I'll agree. A nice design aesthetic that is kept wonderfully simple.

Which is a concept that seems lost now. I love Fourze, it will always remain dear to my heart, but when you start clamping on random modules and States it becomes to busy. The same could be said for OOO. Another good design but far to random. Wizard's design is a simple one, but I wish the face had a little more detail. But then I love an insect Rider.

I had my way every Rider would be an Insect Rider.

I'm not a big fan of his chest plate or his shoulderpads, and I think his helmet looks weird. Maybe it would look better if he didn't have the bug eyes, and I guess I should take back my statement of hating it, since I like is gauntlets and his boots (except for the steel toes). I just don't really like the helmet designs in Blade.

The helmet is the best part, though.

Eh...maybe if it didn't have the bug eyes. Maybe when I get aroud to watching Blade, it'll grow on me the same way Fourze and Den-O Sword Form (and Climax Form) have.

Speaking of which...here's what I'm thinking to watch after Kiva:

I'll go in order from there and watch:
Decade
Double
OOO

Then after those:
Kabuto
Ryuki
Hibiki
Blade
Kuuga
Agito
Faiz

My personal favorite is Kivara, but yes Blade's is great.

To each his own. I love the steel like chest plate (It even has pseudo rivets!) with the spade on the stomach. The helmet is different, but that's because he's a beetle that's not a kabutomushi, so his head ends in the straight horn rather than the split one.

Then again, I just really love Blade.

As for Wizard, he has a somewhat simplistic design, but I find his to be more bland. He uses a lot of one primary color (Red, blue, green, yellow) and just slathers it across his chest.

I wouldn't call Kivala a favorite of mine, but I did enjoy that they kept the Kiva aesthetic rather faithfully.
