So the reason Kiva used its final form so much, especially in lieu of the base form; is because said base form was constructed in such a way that it was causing back and neck issues for the suit actor, and hence they used the Final Form as an excuse to not use the base.

I know this, and yet it's still so funny to see it laid out like this

Did they ever fix that suit issue for Decade and the succeeding Crossover Movies?

And it makes me wonder. If the Kiva forms aren't heavy, is Emperor Form still going to debut early? Because during that time it was reserved for super forms.

Maybe DoGaBaki will be used frequently as a proper super form until Wataru properly obtains Emperor Form.

DoGaBaki often gets treated as Kiva's equivalent to a 'super' form, which is kinda funny to me because in-series it was a one-off special thing that was clearly just playing around with what the Form Change toy could do. It's as notable as most HBV forms.

DoGaBaki did appear in Episode 18 of Kiva and I heard the reason why this suit doesn’t get use a lot because DoGaBaki’s suit was so heavy that it almost killed Seiji Takaiwa.

Yeah, episode 18; a one-off

Tbh, it's Kiva, does it need a reason to only be used once and then never again? Just add it to the pile.
