The dead children and suicide aspects of the porcupine grongi arc you're referring to never felt forced to be mature and edgy. They were there to progress the story. The always optimistic and happy hero was affected by those horrible events and he raged with power when he finally was able to get his hands on the killer. The rage and power gave us a foreshadowing of Ultimate form, presenting the plot point of wether Kuuga's power was good or evil.

Except that is the only time in fifty episodes Godai reacts, and after that, they never bring it up again. Maybe MAYBE the gratuitous grimness of it all could have worked, but with an avatar into the world like Godai, a character with no arc or growth, it felt as stomach churning pessimistic as it did utterly soulless.
