Also, while Kuuga does form changing in a superb and outstanding way, I want to break a lance for Kiva here: His form changes are tied to actual characters he interacts with. Yes, the way they turn into weapons is kind of goofy, but I like how they formed a bond with Wataru, and how it all tied into the past.

This all comes together very nicely in the scene where they help Wataru to control the Zanbat Sword.

It feels weird, I like Kuuga much more than Kiva overall, but I guess I’m rooting for the underdog here.

I will be honest, I have not seen Kiva. It is nice to have the form changes tied to characters and character progression. However going beyond suits, Kiva's weapons I think are also lamer. What is it, dagger, gun, and hammer? All in the Kiva lots of detail style, bleh. But like I said before I am biased towards Kuuga in a big way

Kuuga's Rising forms only show up for like 30 seconds or whatever the time limit is sadly. So aside from outside merchandise like figuarts and the like, not a lot of opportunity to see them.
