Yeah thats the funny thing about the Grongi. What they are actually saying isnt as important as most (myself included) think when they are watching the show for the first time. Their actions are much more important and tell you alot in those early episodes.

The language is less a way to withhold information and just a stylistic choice to make them seem weird and otherworldly. Even when they learn japanese later on what they are saying wont make much sense.

some of my favorite Kuuga episodes actually involve Titan form, which I will argue is the best and best looking of Kuuga's three forms.

Stronger Episode 11: Ah good to be back to Stronger. I love that the plot is continuing with Titan and the leader of Black Satan realize that the Cyborgs aren't working because they keep losing to Stronger by the end of this episode. Shigeru was awesome again, I loved how he was sick of the monster's shit when the monster was trying to avenge its allies even though they caused so many issues. His denim jacket must be hard because these Black Satan soldiers just get beat down by it so easily it's hilarious. I love the stand off with Stronger and Titan again, the slow build up for it's awesome I can't wait till the final showdown with them. I was worried for Stronger when the Chameleon blinded him but glad it was temporary, and then Stronger proceeded in kicking his butt. I really love the action in this and that there is about 3 fight scenes per episode each with a lot of good action in them. I love Shigeru a lot it looks like a lot of fun next episode. I can't wait for more.

I'm trying to observe what they're doing, but a big problem is that a lot of the Grongi scenes during these early episodes feature them just looking at each other and talking, then one gets intimidated by something and leaves.
There have been more noticeable gestures these past two episodes, but there is a lot of just standing and talking, too. Sometimes the rose one will look at her ring or something, but that's about it.

Got to Kuuga's Titan form. I'm glad he didn't stumble around, confused how to use it. Then again, he already knew it was a sword fighter, so it was a little more straight forward.

Anyway, squid was neat, shooting explosive ink. I also like how that was his weakness, since he needed to superheat it inside his own body before firing.

Beyond that, we learn the location of the main Grongi's base, but they flee.
I'm rather curious about their bracelet and death count thing. I still don't get the point.
Aside, I also enjoy how proactive Ichijou is. He's a really well done protagonist.

Ichijou is great. He lives for his job and to serve the people of his country. He is the kind of character who will never back down even if he doesnt have a power armor that helps him fight the Grongi.

The Grongi are having a contest to see who can rack up the most kills. Whoever wins the game gets to challenger for leadership of the Grongi.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Kuuga has the best police portrayal in all of Kamen Rider. From Ichijou down everybody is proactively trying to get to the bottom of the mystery and help out in anyway possible. This last part becomes especially true near the mid 20s and 30s.

Yeah. Ichijou is probably one of my favorite protagonists in a rider series. Kind of disappointing that he never gets to transform.

As for the spoiler, since I'm currently watching it, I'm afraid of looking at what you said

[XW1n5t0nX]

Which is the spoiler tags appeared. I don't think it would ruin too much of the plot (it is rather obvious even in the Grongi language. Though if you want to figure it out on your own I do suggest avoiding it.
