'ight, let's do it. Was just waiting for some other people to comment, since I don't like replying right after myself on forums or taking up more reading space than necessarily. Just to let people know, I don't really hate any of these forms, but I do like some more than others. Again, from least to most (not including KungFu Ramen, since it's a HBV form, but just to let you know, it's immediately 11th if I did)-

(10) Master Gavv: In a vacuum, I would think Master Gavv is a cool form. The color palette is interesting, I like the shapes of the armor, and I do appreciate the sleekness. Unfortunately, being the final form to a food-themed Rider, and supposedly having a candy/snack jar theme, really disappoints me. And being a form that combines the powers and weapons of previous forms, it really doesn't convey that like other forms do (Blade King, Decade Complete, Fourze Cosmic States, Gaim Kiwami Arms, Drive Type Tridoron, Ghost Grateful Damashii, Build Genius, and GrandZi-O). If it were just a direct upgrade to Gavv PoppinGummy like Zero-Two is to Zero-One, fine, but if it's the "all in one" form, huge disappointment.

(9) Bushel:I really love how they did the yule log armor, and giving him yule log horns is a stroke of genius. Downside is that since the gauntlets are repainted from PunkJack Monster, we're probably not gonna see PunkJack come back ever in a special. I mean, at least until they repaint it back. He doesn't use this form for long, so it's nothing to really to write about.

(8) Over Gavv: While still having the same sort of disappointment I have over Master Gavv, I do like that its torso, shoulder, gauntlets, and boots all change the silhouette of Gavv significantly more than Master Gavv does. And I generally like the more armored forms anyways.

(7) PoppinGummy: It's a good base form, and helps establish the season's candy/snack motif early on, thanks to its opaque and soft armor. I like the type of shoulder armor PoppinGummy uses.

(6) Chocodan: I really like the chocolate square armor with the melted chocolate poncho, very nice aesthetic choice. It's kind of a shame that Chocodan doesn't actually get, like, a full cowboy hat, it's just Gavv's chocolate face having the shape of one. Still love it, though, I wish we got more cowboy-styled Riders and/or forms.

(5) FuwaMallow: I love the soft white marshmallow armor, and that he has mitts rather than gloves here. It's a fun form to watch, since this is one of the few forms where he makes full use of the physical onomatopoeias that appear.

(4) Gurucan: The heavy pink lollipop armor is so, so great. And it being the bulky form is a plus. I also kind of find it unintentionally hilarious how this form is the only form where Gavv's body changes. All of the other forms are still slim, whereas Gurucan is a big man, a big big man.

(3) ZakuZakuChips: My favorite of the base forms. I love the potato chip armor, and how it's layered. Also the ridged chip eyes are great, and I love the ZakuZakuChipSlashers. Not to mention that some of the most creative fight scenes involve ZakuZakuChips (the finisher breaking the blades to create flying shards that attack before regenerating them, when Gavv threw one of the swords at Chooul, and when it breaks, he kicks it against the wall and regenerates the blade right in Chooul was backed into it, and against Ochiru, where they finally use the robot arms of the Gochizo holder, which grabs the handle of the dropped sword, allowing Gavv to use the one he still has in his hand as a distraction for Ochiru, and use the other in a quickdraw slash). I swear to god, if they actually make the ZakuZakuChips SHF that was on display last year at the TN event, I will get him no matter what.

(2) CaKing: An incredibly regal form, I love how he has a crown made out of cake and whipped cream, the cake shoulder armor, and the chest armor. The GavvWhippir is a great weapon, too, love that it's a fusion of a cake icing piper, a cake itself, and a rapier. And the fact that he can summon the Whipped Soldiers is a great ability, and whenever they're used, we get some really fun fights.

(1) BlizzardSorbet: I know that BlizzardSorbei's debut left more to be desired by some people, I still really, really enjoyed it regardless. I really love how they incorporate the ice cream cones as shoulder armor, the waffle cone patterning on his armor and waistcoat, the color palette, and the waffle cone horns are so good. And I like that this form runs on a timer that'll melt his form off if the temperature around isn't cold enough. Also, I can't believe that this form confirms that yes, Gavv does have a mouth that he can open in this form, since he needs to lick his hand in order to use his ice breath. Honestly, I really wish that this or CaKing were the final form instead. Over/Master Gavv feels like one of those two-form powerups like Build RabbitRabbit/TankTank, Saber Primitive (Elemental) Dragon, (Jack) Revice, and Geats Boost MKII/LaserBoost.

[Sh Ranger]

Sure, why not. I'll make a Gavv Form Ranking as well:

10) Gurucan
9) Over Mode
8) Master Mode
7) Fuwamallow
6) Bushel
5) Poppingummy
4) Blizzardsorbet
3) Chocodan
2) Zakuzakuchips
1) Caking

And yeah, I agree with MKDremare that Caking should've been saved for the Final Form instead.

[Enchilada645]

I feel like "Caking should've been the final form" is going to be the new "Dragonic Knight should've been the final form" in that, they're cool forms but with kind of limited appearances that people just want more of. And while I agree that it's cool, it doesn't really scream Final Form to me. Maybe Super form though, that might fit it better.

Which admittedly, I noticed what I think is Gavv's weak point, in that I think the stronger forms don't get enough play. Caking at least has it better than Sorbet who has like... I think 4 (soon to be 5) appearances to its name so far in the span of the like 9 episodes since it's been introduced? And 1 (soon to be 2 next episode based on context clues) are it melting before it can finish a fight.

Which is a shame because I think Sorbet's like the best suit in Gavv! The way they use the cones for the armoring on it is really cool. Ice powers are always fun to see utilized. But it might be the most underwhelming super form of Reiwa purely for its lack of use in combat and it being disposable/on a time limit.

Speaking of Caking and Sorbet, while I strongly believe that Caking is a nod to Blade King Form, would you agree if I said Sorbet may be a nod to possibly Wizard? Just a random thought I had after reading your post.

Fair, I guess it is a little too much to wish that CaKing or BlizzardSorbet were the final forms. Still disappointed over Over/Master Gavv, though. Definitely on the weaker end of final forms for me. Simple final form(s) just doesn't fit what I expected out of Gavv with how incredibly well each of his forms fuses the candy/snack themes into them.

[Frontier]

It's kind of surreal to have a Final Form debut in the early 30's episode wise again.

Over/Master Gavv feels like one of those two-form powerups like Build RabbitRabbit/TankTank, Saber Primitive (Elemental) Dragon, (Jack) Revice, and Geats Boost MKII/LaserBoost.

I just went ahead and ranked all the forms for all the riders so far. So this list is a bit long, sorry.

22. Gavv ZakuZaku Chips: I don't love this form. I don't hate it though. I don't love the color yellow and I feel like the suit doesn't have enough going on. How it's used in fight scenes is really cool though, and the textured potato eyes and a great idea.

21. Gavv Fuwamallow: The issue I have with this form is similar to the issue I have with ZakuZaku Chips, there is not enough going on in my opinion. Fuwamallow does rank higher because I like the big bulkiness of it, but I definitely prefer ZakuZaku Chips' helmet to Fuwamallow's.

20. Gavv Bushuel: Bushuel is a really cool form in concept and I like the treatment of yule logs as actual logs in the attacks and motif. The thing is, I really don't like the helmet, I get what they were going for but for me it just doesn't work. I much prefer the repaint/remold of this form for the Umaiibo form. I also don't like the chocolate "powder-like" texture on the shoulder pads.

19: Gavv Kung Fu Ramen: I haven't seen the Hyper Battle DVD yet but I like the look of this form, I don't know what it is but I just do lol.

18: Over Gavv: This form feels like it is way too top heavy, I thought this form would be similar in shape to Gavv Gurucan or Gotchard GoldMechanicor. However, it is similar to those forms on the top but has almost nothing going on for the legs. I also don't love the undersuit, especially with the orange on orange. The undersuit looks a lot better on Master Gavv.

17. Valen Doumaru: I don't really know what I don't love about this form but I just don't love it. It's not bad but I don't really like the donut parts of the suit. The donut eyes just look off to me.

16: Gavv Gurucan: The form is really fun but a bit busy. I really like the concept of essentially having melted candy holding a bunch of lollipops on it. The helmet is also really fun, it's just a little bit too much for me.

15. Bitter Gavv BakiBaki Stick: From what we've seen, this form does look good, it's just that they did the most they could with using biscuit sticks for a form and it ends up being a bit repetitive. I do really like the Legend-esque helmet though.

14. Bake: I like this suit quite a bit, it truly does feel like the culmination of all of Suga's work with the Valen undersuit and the Bitter Gavv armor. The hardened cookie idea is really creative and adds texture to the look of the suit which I love.

13. Bitter Gavv Breakcookie: All the same things about Bake, except I prefer the Bitter Gavv undersuit. I do wish that at the least the eyes were purple to match the rest of the Bitter Gavv forms and to differentiate this form from Bake more.

12. Gavv Poppin Gummy: This form has a cool texture of having the clear armor. The color gradient of blue, yellow, and purple also works really well. I just really like this form, it's one of my favorite main base forms.

11. Gavv Chocodan: This suit is really cool with its cowboy poncho design. I love how the armor is slowly melting off until it becomes a liquid making the poncho. Also the chocolate cowboy hat is sick.

10. Vram Pudding Custom: This suit is so cool, having all the pudding forming armor and having headphones on the helmet with spoons as the antennae. The black and silver undersuit is also great. I don't really like the colors orange or yellow on suits but I love them on this suit.

9. Valen Chocodon: The chocolate texture on this suit is nice. And I like the wrapper-like red parts. This suit is also just sleek and gives off the brawler/gunslinger vibe.

8. Valen Chocold: All the same things as Chocodon except the black accents help to make the suit a little more varied. I only like this suit a little more than Chocodon.

7. Valen Bushuel: I like this form way more than Gavv's Bushuel form. The shoulder pads, gauntlets, and chest armor work way better on Valen's suit with the chocolate flavor look. The helmet is also cool keeping the theme or representing the yule logs with actual trees lol.

6. Gavv CaKing: This form feels very regal and has the really cool whip powers. The idea of the whip soldiers is really cool too. The strawberry eyes and another nice touch and I love the crown made of icing. The gold and white suit is a nice departure from our typical black and gold Rider suits.

5. Master Gavv: This form is way better than Over Gavv. While it is a bit disappointing that it's just FancyPoppinGummy. The undersuit works a lot better when the main suit's primary color isn't orange. The big feet are a bit off-putting but not nearly as bad as Over Gavv's giant upper half.

4. Valen Frappeis: This form is much more simple than Valen's other forms, but I like it. The chocolate texture on the sides of the suit is really cool and the caramel color undersuit is something we don't normally see. I love how the helmet transitions from the chocolate squares to the frappe. My favorite detail of the suit is the straw coming out of the back shoulder armor. I think that's so cool.

3. Vram Jelly Custom: I love love LOVE male riders with a predominantly pink color scheme. Or even just pink on anything (pink is my favorite color). That being said, this suit is amazing. I love the pink jellies on the arms and the one on the chest. My favorite parts of the suit are the scarf and the mask-like mouth plate. It's so creative and something I haven't seen done on a Rider suit before. I also love how it uses two seperate shades of pink to break up the loads of pink.

2. Gavv Blizzard Sorbei: This form looks so elegant. I love the waffle cones forming the ears and the skirt. I also love the ice cream cones on the suit that form the main parts. The different random streaks of yellow in the ice cream also help it to stand out. PoppinGummy already used purple, blue, and yellow as its color scheme, but Blizzard Sorbei uses these colors (the yellow becomes more peach but still) while making blue more predominant than it is in PoppinGummy. The reuse of colors helps to show that this form is truly an evolution for Gavv.

1. Bitter Gavv Sparking Gummy: This is my favorite form in Gavv as of right now. I already tend to really like suits for dark riders, so I may be a bit biased, that being said, I love this form. The jagged, spiky armor helps to mirror the soft edges of Gavv's forms. The undersuit just looks great and looks like a more aggressive version of Gavv's undersuit. The purple eyes just look great and are more sharp than Gavv's yellow eyes. The red and yellow gradient helps to show the cola gummy motif and the black spots representing carbonation is the cherry on top. I also just love how unique Bitter Gavv's fighting style is, this is one of my favorite suits ever from Gavv.
