Kiva has all the dressing of an awesome series. So i am probably gonna keep watching to figure it out.

I find that casting Koji Seto as the innocent, introverted Wataru really highlights the duality of the character -- which makes more sense when you get deeper into the series.

I got the sense that Kiva is a part of Wataru that he actively represses -- and that repressed, savage side of his personality takes over whenever he henshins.

That's possible.

But I feel like there should be at least a hint. He's literally a different person. Like, you can't fool me.

Say what you will about the overall quality of Kamen Rider Kiva (I'm personally a fan -- though I recognize its myriad flaws), but Wataru has one of the most effective character arcs of any KR series I've watched. He's a very different guy by the end of the series.

This makes me want to watch.

Ryuki is a DEEPLY flawed series, with the core aspect of the show a broken concept.... yet I hold it in high regard because of Ryuki's character.
