Where did Sagark come from? Is he part of the Kivat Bloodline?

A fundamentally flawed show, with some great concepts that are sadly underused. That's Kiva in a nutshell.

Kiva loved to introduce things and never use them: the fake fuestles, powered ixer, shodoran, buroon booster, even the other forms of Kiva fall on that train.

Sagarc is well... a Sagarc, one of the thirteen Demon Races, not like that was ever explained in the show, out of the 13, the Fangire are the most numerous.

They go way out of their way to portray Wataru as a mousy, quiet shut in with no real aggression, but Kiva's fighting style is wild and unrestrained. It never gave me the feeling that Wataru was in the suit until Emperor form showed up.

Oh, and Wataru's son and Kivat Bat the 4th were so that they could use the original Kiva suit in the finale.

Kiva was brutal and rarely speaked, Wataru was shy and always stuttered, he looked frail. Emperor and Wataru did feel closer though.

That ending, crazy but at that point I honestly didn't care much.

Of the ending I liked seeing Kouhei Takeda again and seeing New Kiva, leads me to beleive that at some point Dark also had a base Kiva form, and that it's natural for the Kiva suit to evolve.

Those stunning visuals. The original Wake Up! kick, Gururu/Bashaa/Dogga's finishers.. Used once and then forgotten. That really disappointed me.

Emperor man, frigging Emperor stealing the spotlight.
