Part of why I like Daguva it's because he the antithesis to Godai. Godai throught the show has endured both physical and mental trauma in order to protect people smile. Contrasting that Daguva inflicts pain with his gruesome murders in order to satisfied his own sadistic happiness.

It's also the way the show portrays him for most of the show he's in silhouette always just out of reach. Daguva portrayed like a straight up horror movie monster. The fear that at anytime Daguva shows up at that something neither Kuuga or the Police can handle.


And on that note his murders; his 4 big "fights" before his final fight is always obscured or not fully seen. We see a recording of Daguva revival and proceeding to murder the archelogist in what is essentially a found video horror short. Daguva alone killed 152 other Grongi in Nagano alone in a day. That's terrifying as Kuuga and the Police takes about 2 episode to kill a single Grongi it the power scaling seeing his true strength from just the statistic. (There also the part where Daguva took the blood of the slain Grongi and used it to draw his own symbol on the wall that pretty metal.)



During the battle against the Powered Up Gooma, Godai got his ass beat and Daguva just one shots him like nobody buisness once again showing how powerful Daguva is without stating it. And finally the attack on Daguva on the highway we don't get to see it all that much but what we do is horrifying. Everything on fire cars,civilians and Kuuga himself.The rain making it harder to see as well as the shaky cam. We have this POV shot that made me feel claustrophobic as we see Kuuga Amadam being cracked during the battle. What's worse he's in his Amazing Mighty Form which the previous episode was all about hyping up as incredibly powerful being swept away like nothing.



All the while no music plays and all we hear are Godai painful grunts and Daguva laugther. Throught all of these examples Daguva strength is portrayed by not what we see but rather what we don't. We know how his victim end up but the gruesome details are mostly left out. That allows my imagination to fill in the blanks for me.

Finally... I think the suit looks really cool! The contrasting white against Kuuga Ultimate Black is stunning. White and Gold is just a great color combination to me. The sculpted muscles are fantastic really showing the strength of Daguva. And the Grongi accessories are ornate and very fun to look at!
