The offhand mention in this one of Emperor Form being Kiva's true form and the mention last time that he woke up basically because Wataru wanted that power are ~maybe~ all you really need? At the very least, I definitely agree Tatsulot is keeping with Kiva's trends when it comes to writing the merch in, but man, for some reason, I've become way more generous towards those over time.

Honestly, it’s something I find really endearing about Kiva. Castle Doran starts shaking and Jairo’s all “Oh, that’s just Tatsulot acting up” like that makes any sense to the audience. My second favorite part of Zi-O’s Kiva tribute is that it brings back the “Wait, what is this and where did it come from?” “Meh.” new merch introduction that is just 100% Kiva.
