Kouta saving the day dressed as Father Christmas? Pure. Epic. Win. I thought the early fights in this show were really clunky, to the point where they were almost crappy, so I'm really glad to see Gaim has found itself in the fighting. They even managed to make the transformation badass with Zangetsu!

Kiwi arms certainly makes Micchy more fun to watch while fight, as about the only cool thing about Grape is the finisher, which is a shame as the suit is gorgeous. Ironically although Kiwi makes Micchy a more fun fighter, I actually think it's one of the shows worst suits. I don't mind the bat helmet thing, but the flappy armour looks bland and unfinished.

Thankfully pretty much everyone else is shaping up nicely. Ornac and Kurokage are really growing on me, I just wish more of their character arc and development was on screen, as they are sorta growing behind the scenes and we only ever really get to see the end results.

Bravo and Kaito more than fill up my quota for cool badasses, and I like how they are very different from one another, but both equally as awesome. I can't decide which one I love more.

Also Kouta is probably my new favourite lead Rider.
