[SPLIT LIP]

No way Kiwi is a remould or redeco of Ichigo. Their transformations are similar, but entirely different. Plus, they just can't be. Their moulding is entirely different.

The reason Bravo can't work is not the fruit mode verses the armour mode, but the transformation as depicted by the show. It's bullshit. The torso plate literally morphs out of nowhere. Now why would they do that when there's any number of transformation schemes that would've worked and produced the EXACT same look? Cheating would be the only way to solve that, 'cuz there's no way the armour with the spikey chest is facing inward when there's a head in there. It's HAVE to cheat somehow. Not helped that the fruit mode isn't especially large, and Bravo's helmet has massive side spikes and mowhawk.

Basically, you need a spike-ridden head, huge spiked torso plate, and giant mowhawk/spike helmet all occupying the same space at once. It sucks, they obviously had ZERO intention of producing him as a physical figure. He doesn't even have a DX lock or Faceplate out, despite having his own henshin standby noise programmed into the driver. (likely to be used for a later addition) Which is weird, as he is the first to have the rock standby, he is in no way as visually simple and subdued as Kurokage and Guridon, he had a whole two-episode arch revolving around him... it's like he was gonna be a main character, but they changed it. OR he wasn't going to be a main charatcer, but then decided he would before the toyline could be reflected in concert with his show appearance. (afterall, Guridon and Kurokage beat him by an episode, and they don't get toys until next month for Guridon alone)

It's so, so weird what's going on with Bravo. I have no idea what his future holds based on the toyline, yet I have a hard time writing him off because of how unique and prominent he is. My only logical conclusion is that his prominent role is misdirection setting up for him to be killed off/lose his powers and show us "no one is safe" which would be a massive waste, and Gaim as a show REALLY doesn't seem that... dumb.
