This is the scene I was talking about earlier that I consider to basically be Kiva in a nutshell. I've mentioned a few times now, in this thread and others, that Kiva is a show that refuses to explain things and this episodes climax has what is, to me, to the ultimate example. This is the episode where Shoodoran shows up. Shoodoran is a smaller version of Castle Doran that has a windmill on top of it and can mount on to the full size version. It just shows up suddenly out of nowhere with absolutely no explanation of what it is or where it came from and after this it is never seen again. Not in the series. Not in the movie. Not in the HBV. Never.

I'm not sure if that counts as a spoiler. If so, my apologies.

This is what Kiva does, though. It just throws things into the show and then never bothers to explain anything about them. It is easily the most consistently frustrating aspect of the show for me.
