Yep! Makes sense to me now.
I'm a fan of the restrained physicality of Bassha Form. It's a pretty standard Rider With A Gun thing, the cool and efficient hunter, but something about it coming up after Kiva's base form (wide arms evoking wings, tiny quick steps) and Garulu Form (loping strides, low base) makes it feel just as inhuman as the other forms. More great suit acting by Takaiwa, and some clever storyline placement by Inoue!

There's for sure some contrivance (a lot of the mechanics of how the Sheep and Spider coordinate things are left to the viewer's imagination; I guess that theme park has been completely abandoned for 22 years, not counting Den-O's exposition scene?), but I'm probably not going to be down on Kiva as a series for any Coincidental plots, since the entire design of it is to rhyme the two timelines. Things echoing one another, two instruments playing the same tune... that's, like, the
approach
of the show. If things get a little inelegant in order to eventually deliver a hell of an emotional scene, I'm not going to feel overly put out.

Yeah, I don't think you have to worry about Wataru,
who is an incredibly sweet boy
, losing his empathy for others. It's not a zero-sum thing. He can find a deeper connection with Megumi
and
find a deeper connection to humanity. (Or, at the very least, find a way of putting into words something he's felt for a while.) It's kind of a main thing in this story!

I don't think I labeled them as bad? Pretty sure I just voiced my preference. Folks are free to enjoy different kinds of fight scenes! We all process art differently!
