World Rider Kiva

The Kivat-Bat the 3rd from the World of Kiva is the third generation of the Kivat-Bat Family. He formed a partnership with Wataru to give him the power of Kiva, attaching to the Kivat Belt to allow his human partner to transform and use other abilities through the Fuestles.

Personality[]

Kivat is a cheerful, friendly, and overall talkative character that serves as Wataru's partner, having known him since his pre-adolescent years[1]. Feeling concern at Wataru's shyness, Kivat often encourages him to socialize with others, doing so akin to a father-figure.

Somewhat humorously, Kivat mentioned his liking of Megumi Aso for her resemblance to Amedeo Modigliani's masterpieces, particularly the man's works of long-necked women, stating that he preferred them for their easiness to suck blood from.

He often gets annoyed by things such as the Taro's constant interruptions during the openings of Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva: Climax Cop or Tatsulot's usual antics.

Powers and Abilities[]

Like his father, Kivat-bat the 3rd possesses Demon Imperial Powers like the Active Force (アクティブフォース, Akutibu Fōsu) which he can infuse into others by biting with his Active Fangs (アクティブファング, Akutibu Fangu). Doing so to summons the Kivat Belt where he is then placed upon for the transformation into Kiva. As Kiva's transformation gear, Kivat blows on Fuestles to summon his arsenal, giving him the means to change into an alternate form. When doing so, Kivat's eye color changes depending on the form assumed.

Able to maintain Kiva's transformation from afar, Kivat is capable of assisting him at mid-battle when needed, often doing so when Kiva is at a disadvantage.

Aside from being Kiva's power source, Kivat possesses a secret technique called Kivat Cutter (キバットカッター, Kibatto Kattā), a powerful cutting move used through his Lucifer Gold adorned Kivat Wings (キバットウイング, Kibatto Uingu).

Anatomy[]

Kivat-Bat the 3rd is composed of the following parts:

  • Demon Imperial Stone (魔皇石, Maōseki) - A green stone on his forehead. It is a family jewel that has been passed down across generations of Kivat-Bats. According to Kivat-Bat the 3rd, it is a memento of his grandfather.
  • Kivat Scope (キバットスコープ, Kibatto Sukōpu) - The eyes. While it is usually red, it will change color when under the influence of surrounding forces (for example, it will turn green in Kiva's Bassha Form). The eyes actually have poor eyesight, and Kivat usually perceives his surrounding by using his ears.
  • Active Fang (アクティブファング, Akutibu Fangu) - The teeth. When Kiva is bitten, demonic power enters the body via the Active Fangs, enabling transformation. In addition, it can chew a weapon to infuse it with power, allowing Kiva to deal deathblows.
  • Kivat Mouth (キバットマウス, Kibatto Mausu) - The jaws. It is extremely strong, and has a "chin power" on 1 ton. The sense of taste is extremely developed, turning Kivat into some sort of gourmet. As a result, Kivat is an expert in gastronomy, even though he has not yet eaten multiple types of food.
  • Kivat Persona (キバット・ペルソナ, Kibatto Perusona) - The golden mask on the face, it is a family heirloom passed down across generations of Kivat-Bats. It is cast of Lucifer Gold (ルシファーゴールド, Rushifā Gōrudo), a magical metal that boasts enough strength to repel magnum bullets.
  • Kivat Sonar (キバットソナー, Kibatto Sonā) - The ears. It emits supersonic waves, allowing Kivat to perceive his surroundings, as well as communicate with Kiva from a long distance. It can obtain information from 50km away.
  • Kivat Claws (キバットクロー, Kibatto Kurō) - The feet. It has a grip strength of 500 kg. The Kivat Claws are used to perch on the Kibuckle's Power Roost.
  • Kivat Wings (キバットウイング, Kibatto Uingu) - The wings. When fully deployed, they allow Kivat to fly up to 70km/hr. They are decorated with Lucifer Gold.
  • Wing Claws (ウイングクロー, Uingu Kurō) - The metal claws on the tips of the Kivat Wings. They are made of the same Lucifer Metal (ルシファーメタル, Rushifā Metaru) that Kiva's armor is composed of, and are extremely sharp, making them ideal piercing weapons when swooping at opponents.

Video Game Appearances[]

Kamen Rider Battride War[]

Kivat-Bat the 3rd appears as a navigator in the video game Kamen Rider Battride War.

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Kivat-Bat the 3rd is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita (杉田 智和, Sugita Tomokazu).

Appearance[]

Kivat is a yellow and black Kivat with large red eyes. He is distinguished amongst others of his race possessing two family heirlooms, the green Demon Imperial Stone (魔皇石, Maōseki) on his forehead and the Kivat Persona (キバットペルソナ, Kibatto Perusona) on his face. His wings are ornated with Lucifer Gold.

Notes[]

  • In the novel reimagination of the TV series, Kivat, along with Bassha and Dogga, does not exist in the story, as Kiva is Wataru's Fangire form here.
  • A deleted scene in Kamen Rider Kiva reveals that Kivat-Bat the 3rd knew of Wataru's origin as a half-Fangire from the very beginning, which he intentionally kept a secret to protect Wataru from grief.
  • Kivat's catchphrase, "Let's go, Kiva!" (キバっていくぜえ!, Kibatte iku zē!) is a pun on how "Kiva" resembles the Japanese word for "strain" (気張る, Kibaru). Using this kanji instead, the phrase would instead mean "I'm going all out!" (気張っていくぜえ) while still having the same pronunciation.
