That said, think Kitaoka actually grew a heart and thus became weaker?
Spoiler
Note that he hasn't been using Final Vent when fighting alongside Shinji and Ren(Using his Shoot Vent instead).
And that he actually shoved back his deck into his coat when he knew that Asakura is not in any condition to fight?

Of all riders, I have to say I sort of enjoy Kitaoka's character development the most.
