Going back to how great I think Blade's designs are at conveyance, it's worth pointing out again that Leangle's armor is already gold, implying his raw strength is already on par with the Jack Forms. Of course, winning fights is also a matter of skill...

Inoue actually wrote two more episodes of Blade later on, so it appears your true final encounter with him happened without you realizing it. A misunderstanding, if you will. How appropriate!

It's not quite that underused, but Die definitely shouldn't be expecting everyone to only be using their powerup forms from now on. Although I always thought it was simultaneously neat/weird that the Rouse Absorbers, like the Faiz Accel before them, just are on the Riders' wrists once they get them. Like every figure made of Blade or Garren that doesn't include those is technically very specifically representing the first half of the series.

Also, while we're still on this subject, I definitely side a bit more with Die in this case. I don't dislike Garren's Jack Form, but Blade's is a lot more immediately striking in a good way, I find. I have a real soft spot for it, even though it doesn't seem to have a lot of post-series popularity.

Still really looking forward to the Kiva thread!
