And here we are on the debut for Climax Form. I hate it.

Not Climax Form itself, just the way it’s debut is handled. Mostly because it fails to tick any of the boxes I have for a good form debut.

Used to beat a monster giving the hero a hard time in battle: The Imagin wasn’t giving them a hard time. He only got away because Ryo got distracted mid-fight.

The monster has previously shrugged off everything thrown at it: Ryo never got to use anything on it, because, as said before, it kept getting away before a winner could be decided.

Debuts against a stronger opponent than previous ones: There is no way Bloodsucker is stronger than the previous opponents Den-O has faced, especially since all 4 versions of Den-O wiped out his buddies in Gaoh’s army with ease. If he was somehow more powerful than all of hem put together, than Gaoh wouldn’t have sent him to cause a distraction.

The hero has been on an emotional journey to receive it: Ryotaro almost losing the Imagin isn’t an emotional journey, it’s another Saturday on the Den-Liner.

Oh, and separate from the list, there is no logical reason their remains should’ve turned into a magic phone.

Heck, I basically realised while seeing this for the first time that it’s the same issue I have with OOO. He gets new combos that are supposed to be more powerful, but we never see just how powerful they are because the bad guys are the same old ones he’s been beating just fine without power-ups. The only one that clearly felt like a powerful was PuToTyra, with its “kill Greeed dead” ability… which was only used twice and might not have even been worth being there.
