Wasn't that because the suit was easier to move around in?

Watched a few more episodes of Blade, man this show uses a lot of bad green screen effects :lol

I have to say I'm really enjoying it so far though. The way it's set up works much better for me than starting things from the beginning, it's shakes things up and makes it a much less predictable show. I LOVE all these snow battles too, it definitely gives the show it's own unique feel.

Watched 2-3 of Ryuki. I'm really digging it so far. Definitely makes me want to add to my small Ryuki collection.

Plus, he kicks an enemy so many times, he not only renders them imobile, but he BEATS A GIANT "T" ONTO THEIR BODY.

A giant Piston shaped T!

Trial is one of the best secondary rider upgrades, power is meaningless when you are being hit thousands of times in a couple of seconds.


I love Trial, it's awesome.

That seems to be the case, but still I'm not a big fan of it.

Yes they designed the Kiva suit without keeping in mind that an actual human being must be able to perform stunts in it.
Takaiwa complained early on that the chains and the armor were too heavy for him so they designed Emperor to be lighter and used it for the rest of the series.

Thinking about Blade (still need to watch it) makes me wish we'd get an actual medieval season, one that doesn't take place in a modern setting. It'd be really interesting.

Midievil European or Fuedal Japan?

Watch the Hibiki movie, it's exactly what you're talking about.
