Kiva's finishers were awesome, and terribly under-utilised.

While fruit armour and weapons are cool, and the story really mind blasting, the finishers have been somewhat inconsistent and bland for me. Nothing really creative other than adding fruity projections to the typical slash, shoot and kick stuff.

Also, while this is really a matter of personal taste, I find it annoying that 'squash', 'au lait' and 'sparking' don't correspond to similar categories of finishers for every rider. E.g. I would have liked it if 'squash' corresponds to a rider kick or body-based attack, and 'au lait' a weapon based attack. Baron's squash and au lait are also too similar. However, I think stabbing the ground for a banana power wave is incredulously cool for some reason. And Baron's sengoku 'sparking' has been my favourite finisher of the series thus far.

That, and 'soiya!'.
