It may be Wataru's show, but the Saga hype sure isn't stopping, as 34 marks the first use of his own personal insert theme,
Roots of the King
... which is kinda sung by Wataru, but you know what I mean.
Following in the footsteps of Destiny's Play and Individual-System, Saga gets a single to himself that's no less cool. Really, I might even argue it's way cooler? Not to say I necessarily like it way more, or anything, but just, Saga is a guy who thinks he's the best, and his song wants you to know it. The egotistical lyrics put even Nago to shame, with basically every other line being about how much Taiga has earned his dark privilege (literally just by being born), and how much more important and just plain
better
he is than you because of it. It's got some massive bad boy energy, with a suitably edgy sound, and
I kinda can't get enough of it.
Throwing out the word "favorite" as much as I'd like to with Kiva's songs is going to make it clear how little that word means, but yeah, there you go. This one is another favorite for me.
Sort of on the subject of Saga as well, I mentioned how the suit is a clear counterpart to Kiva, and that got me to consciously realize for the first time that's it's specifically a counterpart to
Kiva Form
, with the top-heavy armor and relatively plain legs. (Oh, and Kiva's base form is literally called "Kiva Form", by the way, which I will never not love.) I guess most of why I want to mention this is because that random thought allowed me to put together something I found moderately interesting about Emperor Form's fighting style. As I very briefly touched on earlier in the thread, Kiva Form tended to be more about
punching
dudes, but reflecting the much more balanced armor layout, Emperor's fights often place a huge emphasis on him
kicking
monsters, which can be seen both in its debut, and in this episode. Sort of a neat way to differentiate them, if weirdly specific. (Maybe it's because Takaiwa finally
could
move his legs a lot easier again with the Emperor suit...?)
