He appears here solely because Ginga?s titular character (and also it?s main antagonist) share a VA with Kivat.

I don't think that I got he was an Ultraman reference? I thought maybe they just shared a name. So thanks for clearing that up!

I think it's also that, like, Kiva is The Horny Show. Even if you don't like it as a tone, you can't really do a Kiva tribute and not have a main cast member get all hornt up.

She's really great! There's some great physicality to her character, even before she henshins into Another Kiva. She stops a car with her foot!

It?s not even a close contest, she is streets ahead of all the others, even Amane.

It's amazing to me that Yuko is so compelling and fleshed-out in one episode, but Another Zi-O had four episodes and I can't even remember that kid's name. Some real night-and-day stuff when it comes to building out a short-run adversary.
