Pomp and Circumstance: Lightning Strike Purple EyeDogga Hammer!!
Continued from
last week, Miyake continues to advance in trapping Kengo for his rock star dream. Having discovered Miyake's true identity, Wataru vows to protect his friend by taking on the Rhinoceros Fangire despite his defeat last week. When he is overpowered by the Fangire again, Kiva summons his Dogga form to match the brute force of his foe.
Back in 1986, Otoya starts to suffer the painful side effects of the defective Ixa system. Despite that, he tries to hide his pain from Yuri, who demands the Ixa system to be returned. At the same time, Giro wants that stolen possession of his back as well. In the fight between the two this week, the Ixa system seems to be malfunctioning (again), and Otoya is forced out of the suit. Worse, Basshaa comes to Garulu's aid, double teaming on Otoya. To be continued next week...
We finally get to see Kiva's Dogga form. ^^ It's quite obvious why the writers put the Dogga form to come out last. In this form, Kiva not only receives the Dogga Hammer, new armors are also being added to his forearms. Both his shoulder armors are changed, together with the one on his chest. In short, the Dogga form gives Kiva the most changes in comparison to Garulu and Basshaa, which makes his
Henshin much more exciting to watch in my opinion.
Then again, the action we get to see from this new form this week is disappointingly limited :(
On the other hand, Keisuke is back. XD And a new weapon for Ixa is revealed as well: the Powered IXAA (name from
Wikipedia) vehicle (?). How it's going to be used is undisclosed at the moment.
