Weetaru.
I appreciate that Decade went with Kiva for its second AU. There are a lot of younger viewers who wouldn't be familiar with Kuuga, but bringing back the show that was on last month is a good way to really highlight the fact that this isn't your very slightly younger self's Kiva. It was a smart decision.
I like the take on Weetaru (sticking with it and looking forward to seven more portmanteaus to join him and the Yusuke one I'll be dusting off soon enough). He's basically a cross between Wataru and Taiga, which is a new but recognizable spin on Kiva. There are two broad approaches that Decade takes to its worlds and I always prefer the ones that feel like they tie into the original series' plot or themes. We'll definitely be seeing some cases where the homage feels like it was written by someone who'd never watched the show they were paying tribute to.
On the other hand, Kiva's FFR is probably the most random of them all. I get that not every Rider has something associated with them that could be an alternate configuration of an action figure, but "Kiva = bow and arrow?" feels incredibly random.

I love how all of the un-transformations were shot to make it look like that wasn't a full-sized adult the entire time.
