Same reason he always starts out as Orange Arms when fighting the Energy Riders; it's his base form-ish.

Yes, but he went straight from Orange to Cherry in the forest, didn't he? Lemon didn't get used until the Zangetsu fight.

But he doesn't always.

And last time he went into Kinba Cherry, it was straight to Cherry. No Lemon.

There's literally no in-show reason for him to not use Cherry. Even from a toy-perspective, we've seen so much of Lemon, but Cherry is new and shows what Jinba does.

Oh, and probably more discussion for next week, but translating Kachidoki to Triumphant is hella cool. TRIUMPHANT ARMS. Triumphant needs to be used more in this language I think.

I don't know, maybe the trade-off for Cherry's speed is a loss of power? Rider shows rarely do a good job of clearly defining what a form's full abilities are.

Or that. There is also that.

Hmm, good enough point about Cherry in Jungle Zone Act 2. I guess I should have mentioned that whole base form thing being in better relation to the big fight at the end.

Yeah, but not this one. They would've SAID something. Kouta would've reacted.

Not really.

Hey Locke, as an action buff, you ever see "The Raid: Redemption?"

*Well in my opinion.

And HELL YEAH! Dredd was better, but The Raid was pretty damn glorious all the same.

Although I can't wait for the Hammer Girl in part two, you seen this fan film?

I'd say Dredd had betetr story, Raid had better action.

I mean God damn, that machette hallway fight. I've never even heard of using a door like that.

That's fan made? Was pretty cool.

Yeah, I saw a bit of the train scene and it was nuts. Too bad I'll probably never see it until it hits video release.

I never got a chance to see the Raid on the big screen, Dredd I did. Seeing those slowmo sequences in 3D on giant ass screen was just glorious.

Yeah that fan film had better action than the whole of Gaim. I love it when his balls fall out as she pulls out the hammer.
