You cant just clash with another oponent just by taking turns(first i strike then you strike). Keshin were created to feel THE POWER.Keshin armed was great idea but if we can build body armors, why cant we build karma swords? Souls are lame, but the ideea of a force scorching inside isn,t bad .I would have tied up Fran as a 3rd stage children (she IS afterall the strongest being, kynda godlike). And why a Dream match-like series look bad? It's more how they were used than anything else. They basically made anyone who didn't have them irrelevant and their power felt super arbitrary. Keshin Armed, though. They looked really, REALLY silly. I can't think of an armed character that didn't look ridiculous, which is a problem, because Keshin looked and felt awesome. Armed seemed almost like a step backwards, despite how cool of an idea it was. As far as swords go, though, what point would they serve? It's still Soccer. Swords would only support the notion that Fran (and by extension, Baddap and the antagonist of season 2) pointed out. Hissatsu work because, generally, they aren't intended to hurt (even if they do) since, at the very least, it would lead to a red card or forfeiting.

I like souls as an aura. Less so when they actually become animals. If souls had simply been an aura and they expanded on that aspect, that could have been pretty awesome, but the soul hissatsu were basically just them turning into animals and doing what that soul does...it lacked the punch of a hissatsu and wasn't really all that exciting (which is why I vastly perfer the beginning of Galaxy to the post-FFIV2 portion)

As for Fran, I think her story worked on its own. And whether she's the strongest...well, she only uses one move in the movie, and apart from the characters having been tired, they didn't use Keshin or even Mixi-Max against her. Plus, the person who used the GK hissatsu was...Tenma. I mean, her powers are pretty grand, but her being "godlike" isn't really supported by anything in the movie.
