Emperor form was introduced so early for real life reasons called the base form was too heavy and almost killed the suit actor, so odds are it was never meant to show up in this episode in the original version

Also tied into that is that the core idea of Emperor form is being extremely lightweight and easy to do stunts in but it comes at the cost of literally the entirety of Kiva’s arsenal being abandoned except for the base Kiva form like I’m pretty sure due to Emperor form being able to kill the soul of a fangire we’ll never see castle Doron ever again same with the bike
