[FreshToku]

It's good for me that you brought up the action in Kiva, because its something that I've thought about too! I really liked the fight scenes in the earlier episodes, specifically the way Kiva fought and moved himself. He fought in what I thought was a distinctly brutal, monstrous manner that still lend itself to elegant and graceful movements, fitting for a vampire, you know? And the Arms Monsters form changes each had their own style which I think still fit that idea.

The action is considerably less exciting once Emperor Form debuted, in my opinion. First off, I really don't have much opinion on the suit itself. It's just alright? I'm glad its no longer killing the suit actor, at least. But more importantly is the way it fights. So like the obvious visual storytelling I can tell they were going with is that this more 'regal' and 'refined' version of Kiva would fight in a more controlled, sophisticated way and less like the wild wrestling monster he was before. Problem for me is, that just translated to him fighting like 95% of other toku characters, and dropping what made Kiva's style unique in the first place.
