I think it's supposed to enhance his abilities but between the low budget and the fact he is fighting power houses anyway the form seems kinda useless and is really a waste of the best costume in the series so far. And the blue form is just awful through and through.

The only form and finisher I've enjoyed thoroughly so far has been Green, I hope there are more like Green on the way.

I banish thee to hell. it's not awful, it's just comparatively plain, but I like it. I like the Pegasus forms too, but the problem with those is he's limited to using them for such a short period, he chou henshins into one and has to end the fight in seconds or else he loses - which is great from a storytelling perspective, but not great from a perspective of wanting to see the form more.

Red is enhanced strength. It's the most balanced form, and yes, since he's fighting beings of enhanced strength it's not obvious. If I recall, it becomes more apparent that he's significantly stronger with Rising Mighty.

I haven't watched Kuuga for a couple weeks now, I just got to the first Rising upgrade, Rising Titan, which is a superior deco to Titan, also I rather like the Gourongi enemy and the rules for the game she's following. But mostly I liked the way the upgrade in power was teased for a few episodes, present, but a slow build until BAM! Super stronger now.
