On the subject of werewolf swords, here's Garulu Form's BGM, which is appropriately feral and hectic sounding.

Kiva's various forms are super cool, by the way. Unabashedly taking a lot of what made Kuuga work so well, but doing their own thing at the same time with Kiva's unique – and extremely busy – design sense. Tying a monster character into them will also seem extremely familiar, but Kiva was pretty careful about making sure the things it copied from Den-O weren't entirely the same. Notably, Wataru isn't getting possessed by anyone, although apparently they do affect his personality, which is why Kiva gets so growly and aggressive here. The idea that Kiva is barely controlling the monster's power with his own was a conscious part of the design, even, which I presume is where the super stylish asymmetry comes from? It's basically like his left arm has a bad case of lycanthropy? The end result is quite up my alley, at any rate.

On the subject of sloppy Kiva writing, though... yeah, something I kind of assumed it'd take a bit longer to get a chance to mention, going back to the discussion about how the show portrays Otoya, is that I recall it feeling quite muddled at points exactly what the show is going for with him? It'll be interesting to see if this kind of thing becomes a recurring issue for you or not.

For the record, I also recall rather liking Megumi, on a more positive note. It's been so long since I've seen the show I couldn't give you a particularly specific answer as to why, but "outstanding chemistry with everyone" certainly matches up with what vague memories I have left. She was a character I remember just being fun to have around, basically? (Also, her little pistol with the wings or whatever? That thing is neat and I like it!)
