Looking at the Next Episode

2024 was tied off with a crab-filled Christmas… I hope you enjoyed “Gavv”.

Episodes 17 and 18 will be directed by Takayuki Shibasaki. A big focus for the director was the unprecedented transformation scene and its action! There are many two-episode arcs that rush to the big part in the latter episode, but he goes full-throttle starting in the first half… in snack terms, it’s a full dessert course. A new Kamen Rider appears, and has a pudding design in many places. The slightly enemy-like eyes are attractive.

Kohei Shoji plays this character, who is filled with many mysteries. When I asked him, “There isn’t much information written in the script, so won’t it be difficult to act? Should we add more details?”, he gave the reassuring words, “There’s no need for that at all”, without hesitation. Just as you’d expect from an experience tokusatsu actor. With this character who has some kind of motive, the story will start to go in a different direction from now on. Please look forward to it.

(The tagline for the poster reads, “The world needs a bitter push.”)

A new visual for the next arc has also been revealed. While there are interesting developments happening here, the root of Shoma and Hanto’s conflict still has not been resolved. Serial drama components are also an important part of “Gavv”, so even though we’ll reminisce with reruns of episodes you might have missed during the week of New Year’s, please look forward to the next episode. 2025 will be exciting for “Gavv” as well.

The Episode In Short

Thank you for watching Episode 16. It was an episode just before Christmas, broadcast on December 22nd!

Satoshi Morota directed it, continuing from the previous episode. This time again, he carefully and subtly captured the inner workings of Shoma and Hanto’s minds.

Settling things in a battle with Kani!

While making this Christmas episode, we imitated “The Gift of the Magi”, which the scriptwriter Nobuhiro Mouri suggested.

“The Gift of the Magi” is a famous work in the programs of Christmas plays, and we showed the disagreements and bonds between these two people using the Buche de Noël Gochizo as a key item.

Their disagreements were also depicted in episodes 11 and 12, but Shoma and Hanto’s relationship will change as the story of “Gavv” progresses.

Is this a result of the Magi’s challenge…?!?! (no idea what this means)

At the end of last episode, Hanto was captured by Granute Rojo (also known as Kani), and this time Shoma intentionally gets caught by Kani in order to find Hanto and save him.

And Kani disturbs them by sidestepping again. You think he’d release their bonds, but he’s an unfair liar Granute. But it’s hard to dislike him because (??)…

The battle with Kani, who first appeared in episode 13, finally comes to an end. No one would have guessed a blue crab would survive for 4 episodes…

Yosuke Kishi, playing the role of Kani, was all-in this episode! He put in fun crab ad-libs at a crazy pace during his performance and voice-overs, and brought forth the shape of a never-before-seen Granute.

Being a veteran of Toei tokusatsu works, he gave lots of friendly advice, especially to Hidekazu Chinen who he had many scenes with, and he was very good at taking care of him! Thank you very much, Kishi!

Double Cake Revenge!

On that note, Gavv and Valen clash with Kani! The two of them struggle against the crab’s hard shell. Kani’s not just talk— he really is strong!

In the midst of that, Gavv’s Buche de Noël Gochizo comes to Valen!

Valen uses the power of Buche de Noël, which carried Shoma’s feelings, and transforms!

How was the transformation sequence with the tasty-looking chocolate Buche de Noël?

He looks more like a lumberjack than Gavv’s Buche de Noël form did! The face’s shape slightly resembles a reindeer, and it’s a new form for Valen that goes perfectly with Christmas!

The power of cake also pierces through Rojo’s tough shell!

And continuing from last episode, the weird whip soldiers also appear! This time, they block him with teamwork similar to coordinated gymnastics! There were many exciting things from action director Fujita this time.

Finished with a double-cake blow!

It was an action scene that made me want to eat perfect cake for Christmas. (I don’t even know what I’m talking about.)

The Jellyfish’s Hunt in the Human Realm

Last episode, Lage9 came to the human realm as an employee. His tentacles produce a poison that causes happiness in people. As a Granute who targets humans, he steadily gathers Human Presses with his excellent ability.

It’s an innocuous-looking topic title, but what he’s doing is pretty foul…

This time, Lage9 comes to a movie theater. After the courthouse, the next closed area where humans gather that he chose was a movie theater.

The movie that played here was actually the movie created in “Yodonna 3”, “The Next-door Girlfriend”. As you can see, in the scene with the actor Kiramei Blue’s character Shigure Oshikiri (played by Atomu Mizuishi), fairly passionate romantic developments were happening.

It was a randomly and unintentionally chosen scene, but it might be miraculously related to “Gift of the Magi”? That’s the situation, so those interested should definitely check it out on TTFC (Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club)

Shoji is seeing his former costar Mizuishi’s passionately romantic movie in an unexpected place… (Laughs).

Lage9 gets the Dark Snacks that he wanted, but he doesn’t seem to have any interest in them. What is he hiding? It makes you curious about what his true goal is…!

Lage9 is introduced as a “hat-wearing man”, and the said hat that he wears was chosen for the strange coolness of hiding his eyes.

Even so, it’s an outfit that Shoji can only wear with his 188 cm of height (Laughs).

The events that Lage9 creates will definitely have an impact on Shoma and his friends in the future, and there are definitely interesting things that will happen with the new completed belt, but at least the issue of defeating Granute Rojo has been safely settled!

Even though Shoma and Hanto still have bad feelings about each other… it’s still brought to a close with a fun Christmas party.

Did you enjoy the time spent with cake and crabs this Christmas?

The next episode of Kamen Rider Gavv will broadcast on Sunday, January 5th.

You might think the lack of an episode over break is disappointing, but it’s been decided that every episode will be available for free on TVer, Abema, and TV Asahi during the New Year holidays!

If you haven’t seen every episode of Gavv up to now, please enjoy it at your own pace this week!

Kamen Rider Gavv Episode 15 Production Notes

taken from this website

toku translation masterpost here

Looking at the Next Epiosde

This next episode episode will be once again written by Nobuhiro Mouri and directed by Satoshi Morota. It seems like Kani didn’t know about CaKing Form’s strength… the cake festival in the month of Christmas continues. Did you see a new Buche de Noël form in the trailer?! Everyone, which Christmas cake will you go with this year? I wrote this for last episode as well, but Yosuke Kishi and Mouri worked together in “Uchu Sentai Kyuranger”. He’ll be even more active next episode, so look forward to Kani!

Now, this has been going a looong time in “Gavv”. When Hanto screamed that “I won’t ever forgive the Granutes!!” in episode 12 (the episode where they discovered each other’s identities), the moment of Shoma tugging at the hem of his clothes was impactful. It was specifically stated in the script as well.

“Shoma: ‘(My chest hurts…)’ (secretly pulls at the hem of his jacket in order to hide the mouth on his stomach.)”

Director Kazuya Kamihoriuchi filmed it in a striking way. It’s my favorite shot (Laughs). How long will he keep this secret…

With the child of a human and a Granute, Shoma, and the human Hanto, adding the new Granute character Lage9 will create some interesting things. Big things are slowly starting to happen, so please look forward to ���Gavv” getting more exciting for the rest of the year and next year.

(Written by Naomi Takebe)

The Episode in Short

Thank you for watching episode 15. It’ll be Christmas in ten days, and the mood in the city is reaching its peak!

We were filming it at a hot time of year where it wasn’t even close to Christmas… (Laughs) but even though we said, “It’s so far ahead…”, the days flew by.

A Brown Reindeer, Suddenly

We thought Valen’s Buche de Noël form looks like a reindeer with antlers (referencing the images from next episode’s preview), so we implemented a reindeer Hanto.

…Please stop looking so empty.

Please also stop mincing the meat (Laughs). [???]

To see different facial expressions, go to the TV Asahi cast blog, Gavv Log!

Here are some excited cuties.

Like the characters in “Gift of the Magi” who gave each other their sentiments and feelings, Shoma, wanting to give something really important to someone, gifts Hanto a Bushel Gochizo.

But it isn’t really the right time to give that, and his Magi Challenge continues.

A Lively Blue Crab

When we discuss outside policies and PR, there were many conversations about how many episodes we’d broadcast. When you hear an episode number, you usually remember that episode as “the one where a certain form appeared” or “the one with this main character”, but for episode 15, it’s already commonly thought of as “Oh… the crab”.

Around this point, Kani is walking freely—no, side-to-side—a little more than usual. Is this how it should be? This episode’s script was written by Nobuhiro Mouri, who was the main writer for “Kyuranger” which Yosuke Kishi appeared in.

(This pose looks like he’s doing a different morph…!)

With a “lucky!” (although that’s the wrong person’s line) stroke of fate, Kani was delivered with excellent freshness in this season of even more liveliness.

Director Morota had him get in the water instead of falling.

Kishi, in the role of Kani, is truly good at communicating. He gave many pieces of advice to Hidekazu Chinen!

Well! Until now, when Shoma asked a Granute the phrase “What’ll it be? Give up the Dark Snacks? Or be defeated by me?” before killing them, all of them chose the first option, but what is Shoma supposed to do if they actually do announce that they’re giving them up right then and there?

…This was a much talked-about subject among the producer team in the early stages, and Kani carries this important role.

Shoma feels that if they really won’t harm humans, maybe he shouldn’t kill them… but Hanto ruthlessly disregards that, saying it’s no excuse to trust a Granute!

In the end, that announcement was just Kani putting on an act to lure Gavv into trusting him… (Between singing and acting, Kani has many talents outside of collecting Human Presses!)

Behind you, Shoma!!

Jeebh’s agents appearing was also Kani’s plan.

Kani uses a pincer attack with his former boss.

Unsurprised, Hanto goes to deal with Rojo. The transformation with Hanto jumping onto Rojo, which Yusuke Hino practiced many times beforehand, is a noteworthy moment. From the moment he transforms, it’s full-throttle Valen-like action!

However, he’s defeated by Rojo, who sends out a secret finisher attack where he repetitively walks side-to-side and then slams into him head-on with the charged power.

Shoma exposed Hanto to danger because of his naïveté… how will this go next time?!

A Black Messenger Descends

With the modification procedure Nyelv gave him, the Granute Lage9 gains the power to mimic humans. He has the usual metal fittings on his waist.

He descends into the human realm through “door space”, which appears for the first time in a while. Kohei Shoji, previously appearing in voice only, now appears in person as well. He’s grown even more since he began on Kiramager. It’s amazing!

But this guy seems a little… dull?!

Even though he acted humbly in front of Lango and Nyelv, he seems to completely abandon this front in the human realm. I think he’s tired because he was hoping to be assigned to HQ… (Laughs)

This is not a scene where “the teacher addresses the student skipping on the rooftop rather than giving up on them, and one word resounds…!”.

Lage9 has a unique way to gather Human Presses. He pierces his feelers into his targets, injecting a poison that temporarily raises their level of happiness, and easily gets the Presses all in one go.

He needs a closed space since he’s snatching a lot of humans at once, and Director Morota suggested that “in order to make it easy to understand that he makes them happy, we should have it be a place that’s not originally fun”, so we selected a courtroom filled with tension for his first hunting ground.

Collecting lots of Human Presses with minimal effort! He’s reforming the Stomach Company’s worker practices!!

Lage9 can silently accomplish his work since the Kamen Riders are busy fighting Kani. This was Lango’s calculation. As you’d expect from the command of the Stomach family’s eldest son.

However, he might not know what’s going on to the extent that his younger brother Nyelv does.

He has a puzzled expression when he eats pudding with Suga (Laughs)… Takizawa and Nyelv are very much like the second son. I say this often.

The sense of freedom with coming to the human realm and picking up Gochizos and chatting with Suga stands out, but having perfected every skill useful for collecting Dark Snack spice, he is without a doubt brilliant.

Dente, Nyelv, Suga… programs usually just have one scientist character, but “Gavv” has several. What will they create next time? You can’t take your eyes off of the scientists’ greatest achievement!

Someone should really make a Kyuranger MAD with this song XD

[asknarashikari]

So I completely forgot that this existed...

Can we talk about Yosuke Kishi's singing voice for a hot minute?

Ah, those days of yore when we were all just slightly going mad from quarantine... WHY ARE WE STILL IN THIS GODDAMNED PANDEMIC 3 YEARS LATER

I just love how chaotic everyone is lol... especially Taiki Yamazaki and Takumi Kizu XD Also Mama-san Sakurako Okubo just doing her makeup the whole time lmao

[8bitstrawberrycake]

can i just take a minute to admire shosuke kakihara's mobile wallpaper

[red-tsuiker]

I didn't realize until now that I need a spin-off about these three's dynamics and what would it probably be like. Would Shosuke acted like a stereotypical overprotective older brother?
