I know Kenzaki was exhausted every time he used Blade King.

I mean I wouldn't understand why Gaim would stay in Orange Arms when Jinba forms are supposedly just as fast as Ichigo Arms and we also have Jinba Cherry that can move at fast speeds.

It really wouldn't surprise me if the Genesis Drivers are more exhausting to use, but you also have to remember that the fights against Baron (in Lemon Energy, no less) and Gaim, then Gaim/Deemushu/Baron are pretty much his first extended bouts of intensive close-range combat; prior to gaining the Zangetsu Shin powerset he avoided hand-to-hand like the plague as Budou Arms emphasized mid- to long-range combat, and even Kiwi emphasizes rapid, get-in-get-out strikes. He's simply not an endurance fighter like Kaito or Kouta.

As for Kouta's constant usage of Orange and Jinba- he's the opposite of Kaito. He always tries to use the minimal amount of force necessary in a fight. However, there's really no excuse to use the Jinba forms when they'll get a job done better than Orange- like when Takatora had him go and pursue Deemushu while he held off Sid. Jinba Cherry would've been a MUCH better choice, unless they're implying that Cherry's speed isn't really sustainable for long-term usage and better used for short, rapid gains.
