But yeah, sorry if I wasn't being clear enough there. I was talking about the posture of the Gingamen when they're running, all bent forward with their arms spread wide out. Which looks awesome on film, but is naturally going to throw your center of gravity way off, and probably put a ton of stress on your spine in the process.

My point was that Kiva runs the same way in his base form, and that suit is way more bulky and heavy. (There was even a Decade Net Movie where Takaiwa explicitly said it was heavier than any of his other main Rider suits up to that point.) So if running like that hurt as Ginga Red, it almost certainly hurt more as Kiva.

I've never actually seen a source on the oft-repeated story that Emperor Form was used so frequently and so early to get around the weight problem, but between knowing for a fact the original suit IS heavy, and now finding out this tidbit about Takaiwa's time as Ginga Red, I really don't doubt that it's true.
