No, it is useless. Because I sincerely doubt those powers were made up when Jinba was design. Urobuchi probably came up with them himself to justify jinba's colour change. He's probably still being told to use that suit to keep the jinba figure selling.

Except the flags are actually cool looking. They're the same idea as a cape. Functionally dubious, but they add something to flow in the wind and make the suit look heroic.

Gaim makes it very easy to take the flags seriously. They're basically batons withe fabric. Hardly absurd. Jinba's just really puffy. It's not even the jinba armour itself, it's the fact that the rest of the suit is the normal form-fitting, low-armoured shape. Kachidoki would have the same problem, except the skirt armour fixes that problem and fills out the rest of the shape.

Ooh look, someone telling someone on the internet to calm down.

Never seen that before. How exactly do you tell if someone's not calm from text that's not all caps or littered with exclamations or anything? I'm actually watching Spider-man while I type this.

A Machine Setting he has to scratch that turntable thing at least twice just to turn it on, as opposed to yes, pulling back a fake bowstring once.

As Option Zero has said, and I have too, it's still faster than Kachidoki on foot, because like you said Kachi is a Tank, while being powerful enough to withstand more damage than his normal forms. You just saying its useless and using a "possible" excuse that Urobuchi made up the extra powers isn't proof, until Toei states otherwise like they did with Baron's new form. Still useful against Sid, was a nice bit of "take that" against Marika, and shows he willing to still talk, but isn't at the "Ubermensch" mode he seems to be in whenever he's in Kachidoki (destory Scaler system, wrecking Sid's Watermelons, basically taunting Marika). What was stupid is that he used neither when he got ambushed by Sid in this episode, but that's typical rider foolishness (unless it's Blade, he abused King form because it was a plot point).

The Flags looking cool is a rather subjective point. Sure, I like the looks of the flags too, as a pretty little decoration to his suit, but I don't seem to have this hatred for Jinba you do despite liking the look of the flags. This isn't Halo though, so as funny as it was to see Kurokages beaten with them, Kouta should just stick to using the gun/musou blade combo as his main melee weapon in that form. I can't take any fight seriously if he's pulling those out. There, I'm acting subjective too. Them being "batons" against guys with spears makes it sound more silly, even with the DJ gun as his main.

And besides, Jinba isn't lopsided like the actual energy riders, which is an instant bonus.
