Gotchard and love languages

Watching Gotchard (and being probably one of the very few fans of the show) got me in the mood to do some more character insight and character study. I really enjoy watching how the characters interact with one another, which is easily one of the main strengths of the main writer, Hasegawa. In particular, the smaller moments and scenes stand out to me more than the bigger plot points, though more so for the students than the adults.

Crap, I sound like Kyuun.

Renge

Let’s start with the Osaka alchemist, Renge. Renge initially sticks out as a receiving gifts kind of person. She’s very upfront about possessions, seeming very comfortable with asking Houtaro to trade two of her on hand Chemies (Energyl and Sasukemaru, the bois!). When Minato moves to mind wipe his students, Renge’s immediate action after escaping is to start discarding her prized alchemy equipment, as Sabimaru points out. Renge felt happy receiving her alchemist tools, because it meant that she could start making an effort to help her family’s financial situation. But now those tools become a reminder of the state of the academy under Geryon’s control.

Around the time everyone resolves to keep collecting (and saving) the Chemies, Renge’s love language shifts to quality time. Some part of her has realized that she’s happier spending time with Sabimaru, Houtaro, and Rinne, more so than when she was all in on learning how to be a big-shot alchemist. Really, all four members of the Kitchen ICHINOSE Alliance seem to gravitate more towards quality time after they meet Daybreak Houtaro. Beyond that, however, Renge’s character moments become more focused on her bond with the others: how she and Sabimaru planned out extracting and transmuting Zukyunpire’s essence as a counter against the Abyssalis sisters as a way of supporting their Kamen Rider junior students. The Ninetail arc in her grandmother’s hometown really sells how Renge is focusing on spending time with her loved ones. Even when the Kyūbi Malgam unearths the hot springs, Renge focuses on how her grandmother’s town is safe, and that she’s still going to be able to visit her, rather than be like, “My Nana’s hometown can make money!”

Sabimaru

In contrast to Renge, Sabimaru starts out as a quality time kind of guy. Given that he’s poor at communication without the help of Isaac, it’s a bit surprising to see that just being around his new junior, Houtaro, is enough to get him excited about Chemy hunting. It’s not about hunting for the Chemies that gets to him, it’s more about how he can now spend time with others who share his interests. And that extends to the Chemies as well. Aside from Houtaro, Sabimaru is easily the next best friend to the Chemies, with how he’s seen playing with them while Houtaro and Rinne are away on their school trip. When he’s invited to the Ichinose Christmas celebration, he bonds with Kajiki about the idea that Santa is an alien. Now he has another friend outside of the academy that he can share interests in.

His brief stint as Dread also further reinforces his need for quality time. The way Sabimaru acts while captured by the Sisters, and his reluctance to fight, despite being strong armed to do so (so much so he breaks his arm trying to resist), it’s clear he misses his classmates. His friends. And when Houtaro saves him with the power of UFO-X, a Chemy he’s been fascinated with, he’s elated. He’s home, he’s back with his friends, he can spend time with them again, he’s not going to die as a pawn of the Sisters. Sabimaru is definitely going to double down on quality time with his friends.

Spanner

Spanner is a bit difficult to pin down, mainly because he’s a jackass so elusive. Despite that, it feels like Spanner responds more to physical touch, which is ironic, since he keeps everyone at arm’s length. Obviously, he doesn’t make many moves to get to know the rest of the gang, especially Houtaro, but it’s more telling when the only one he really lets in is his mother Kyoka. Kyoka is the only one who is shown to be allowed to invade Spanner’s personal space. When Houtaro offers him a handshake, he brushes him off. When he and Houtaro are duking it out over possession of the Gotchardriver, he’s keeping Houtaro at a distance, only striking him with the bokuto. When he takes over Houtaro’s call to Sabimaru, he basically rips Sabi’s phone from his hands (rude). Even Rinne, who we see he’s making an effort to be cordial to, he avoids contact with. When Bolt has her dangling in the air, Spanner ignores her and goes straight for him.

When his parents are revived, it’s one of the few times Spanner is visibly happy. Full smile and everything, not the arrogant smirk he gives the younger students (Houtaro). While he doesn’t physically interact with them, the implications of his time as Kyoka’s ward really start to sink in. Without his parents to offer him guidance, Spanner will lose himself to his black flames. The flashbacks of his adjustment to living with Kyoka show her hugging him, patting his shoulder in congratulations and encouragement, physically interacting with him. He’s not completely happy with her, but his is better than if he were to be left alone. And especially after he returns as Kamen Rider Valvarad, the first thing Kyoka does? She side-hugs him. Spanner, despite the torment and despairing realization he’ll never see his parents again, is content.

Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis

All three of the Abyssalis sisters start as receivers of words of affirmation, especially from Geryon. Leading up to his appearance, everything is for HIS plans. They don’t really have any other purpose than to start development on the Dreadriver. However, the creation of Dread isn’t as important to them as gaining Geryon’s approval.

Clotho is the simplest of the sisters, at least at first. Receiving the belly warmer power-up to her is evident that she’s received Geryon’s approval. And that seems to be all she needs. Grabbing the Gotchardriver from Houtaro would grant him access to the Door of Darkness, and further their plans. The process of doing so would easily net her more approval, so she steps up her game to seize power. But then Geryon gets yeeted into the shadow realm disappears, leaving her without purpose. Houtaro’s questioning of her purpose, her Gotcha, makes her realize that she craves approval, but also that she wants to keep her sisters, her family, intact. She craves quality time with Lachesis and Atropos, but her pride and rivalry with Houtaro prevents her from admitting so. And with her recent power up, who would need quality time when she can easily crush her rival?

Atropos is very clear cut from the start. She’s easily Geryon’s favorite, so out the gate she’s the only one receiving praise, apologies, and validation. Her specialty in escalating the situation easily wins her most of Geryon’s approval, so she’s content with keeping the situation as uniform as possible. Unlike Clotho, who basically wallows in uncertainty after his disappearance, Atropos doubles down on the scheming and escalating the situation, imagining herself winning more of Geryon’s affection, likely as a coping mechanism. The incident with Tsukumo could also be her attempt to deprive Rinne of her love language, as revenge for the disappearance of her own parent.

Unlike her sisters, Lachesis has rarely received Geryon’s approval. She’s the only one who doubts his leadership and methods. When Clotho tries to overclock the Dreadriver to take down Gotchard at the likely cost of her own life, Lachesis is visibly scared and worried for her sister, realizing that his plans don’t account for the sisters’ well-being. Upon Geryon’s arrival, he basically HIJACKS her body to be used for the Orochi Malgam, and leaves her defeated and alone, if not for Clotho coming to retrieve her. When Geryon creates the Cerberus Malgam, he doesn’t even bat an eye when Lachesis is thrown aside and injured, and only shows concern for Atropos, leaving the youngest sister bitter and envious. And then the tipping point comes when Geryon targets Spanner. Now Lachesis, having been given the short stick multiple times, bears witness to how truly relentless and unforgiving Geryon truly is. Is she going to be tortured like Spanner? Suddenly validation doesn’t seem so enticing when she’s at the risk of being torn apart in exchange.

Now Lachesis understands the hollowness of Geryon’s approval. Why should she try to receive validation when it’s clear he never cared for her in the first place? Her misgivings are further cemented when her own sisters are ordered to eliminate her. Clotho is hesitant, but Atropos is all in. Now she’s been abandoned, so what else can she do? She flees. Joins up with the Alchemists’ Academy as a ward of Kyoka. Lachesis is not happy, and the only love language she’s ever known now seems hollower than ever.

Rinne

I won’t go much into Rinne’s analysis since I did that in my last post. But at the very least, it’s obvious that Rinne is recipient to words of affirmation, just like the sisters. Her self-esteem is lower than that of her peers, though that may be the result of her self-isolation and full focus into her studies and alchemy, so it stands to reason that just hearing encouragement from another person (Houtaro) would be enough to make her feel seen, loved, and happy. Like mentioned above, Atropos capitalizes on this with Tsukumo by creating a scenario where Rinne would be unable to receive affirmation from her greatest connection, Houtaro, though this isn’t the case, since Houtaro absolutely trusts Rinne no matter what. In #4, just hearing Houtaro say that he believes her is enough to convince Rinne to escape the labyrinth. Houtaro believes her, believes in her, and is willing to let her know that as much as he can.

A side tangent: as seen in #14, as well as outright stated by Clotho in #27, the Gotchardriver gains power through cheers, encouragement, and belief. As such, it’s probable that the Alchemis Driver works similarly, only the effect is much more noticeable. Before Minato arrives to encourage Rinne, she’s getting easily overwhelmed by the Mammoth Malgam, enough so that her transformation fails. As soon as her teacher arrives and tells her to, “Fight like yourself,” she’s able to overpower the Malagm right back. And with enough encouragement, Majade is able to synergize herself easily with Platinum Gotchard.

Houtaro

The Gotcha boy himself. Houtaro is definitely one of the happier characters on the show, always surrounded by his friends and loved ones, whether they be Chemy or human. So it would stand to reason he’d be the happiest receiving words of affirmation or spending quality time with others. Yes, that’s true, but Houtaro seems to be at his brightest whenever he’s engaging in acts of service. For him, the simple act of helping someone is enough to make him happy. Receiving affirmation and quality time is also important, but to him, they’re more like smaller goals that help him reach the overall larger picture goal. Fighting against Malgams and freeing the Chemies will definitely make the Chemies happy that they are understood and have someone who is so willing to just be their friend, instead of seeing them as tools or freaks of nature. And if there’s someone who’s connected to the Chemy incident of the week? Houtaro makes it his goal to help them as well. Think of Mr. Asahi, who gave up on pro wrestling, only to be able to live his dream again thanks to Houtaro’s intervention. What about Riku, the boy with an overbearing parent? If eliminating the malice in his father’s heart can help resolving things and bring a happy end to all parties, then Houtaro is all for it. A classmate who wants to revive the drama club? Houtaro is willing to take part in the play just to get more students to join. Who cares if they find his acting hokey, or if Rinne s l a p s him in the middle of the show? As long as Mikuriya’s satisfied, then that’s great! Even at the cost of his well-being (fighting monsters) or striving for his Gotcha, Houtaro aims to make people happy.

Because isn’t that what Kamen Riders do?

His cooking skills also point to him favoring acts of service as a love language. Here, he is expressing his appreciation, his acknowledgment, what have you, of the recipient. Of course, since his choice of ingredients is… unique, the response of disgust and/or dismissal (or insults, in Spanner’s case) would be seen as a refusal or a downplay of his act of service. Rinne’s comment of “Something’s off,” followed by his outburst of “No Gotcha!” shows that he’s upset the other person didn’t understand his feelings. Of course, being Houtaro, it’s not enough to make him give up, and instead, he resolves to better next time. And the next time. So on and so forth. Until his feelings are properly conveyed.

TLDR, I love the character interactions in this show, and I’ve spent so much time thinking about it.

Pro-Wres Tag Team

Blazar: The commander gives SKaRD a dressing down over the failure. Gebalga starts acting, infecting the communication networks. Having determined where the EMP generating organ is, they determine a Tilsonite Spear fashioned from parts of Garamon can penetrate the heat shield, if fired by Earth Garon using the Mega Shot, Hirano presenting the new variant. Gento, after recalling the times Blazar has interfered with his fighting, leaves the Blazar Stone on his locker. For the operation, SKaRD is cooperating with Gento's old unit to lure Gebalga into place, members referencing the time Gento had them most scared, his disappearing 3 years ago during a lab evacuation. The Tilsonite Spear successfully damages the EMP organ, allowing Earth Garon to enter combat, but it's still overwhelmed. Gento seeing this reaches for the Blazar Stone, but remembers, and so attacks on foot. Blazar speaks to Gento in his own voice, reminding him of what they have seen together, and reminded properly of their first encounter 3 years, where they both reached out to save the other, Gento finds his faith in Blazar restored, the Stone flies out and back. Blazar fights Gebalga, and pulls out the Tilsonite Spear, which turns into the Tilsonite Sword, producing a new stone, and slices it in half. As Gento discovers the damage, Haruno makes a call to someone, reporting the second wave has been repelled.

Gotchard: Ichnose wakes up early to help out before school, his mother mentioning Kudoh said he had helped her out, but he feels it's the other way. Atropos informs Lachesis and Clotho that Glion, their master, wants them to take a more proactive role in creating Malgams, and Clotho finds an ideal candidate in self proclaimed strongest man, Golem Goriki. Ichinose has just noticed that Chemie pairs add up to 10, Kudoh shocked at his late realisation, though Sabimaru quietly notes those two also fit the pattern, while Renge returns KaMantis in exchange for SasukeMaru and Energyl, and shows that the two of them managed to capture GengenChouchou, BulletBaang, HiikEscue, BakuoNzumi, DoctorKozo and FlayRose. Requesting guidance, they're lead to a wrestling gym, where the owner is being shookdown by the yakuza, and helped by WrestlerG, when the yakuza pull guns, Gotchard uses BulletChouchou to get them off. Goriki, merged with GorillaSensei, comes to challenge Asahi the owner, they have history. Gotchard is overpowered but Valvarade drives him off, Spanner then demands WrestlerG, Ichinose refuses to separate the bond despite his injuries, and the others back him up. Asahi tells how Goriki once crippled his star pupil, slowly destroying the business, and while he was once Sunchine Mask, he wishes to be able to fight alongside WrestlerG just once. In order to teach Hotaro how to counter the Windmill Back Breaker, Goriki's finisher, WrestlerG merges with Asahi so his body can manage, becoming something almost the opposite of a Malgam. When Goriki returns, he is faced by Gorchard AntWrestler, AsahiG even tagging in, and defeat Goriki. After talking to Minato, Asahi reluctantly forces WrestlerG to leave.

Kingohger: Before Nephila can say anything, Dugded appears and shrinks her, declaring he'll use her the next day to wipe out Shugoddom. Jeramie relates to the others how he witnessed the end battle of the Bugnarok unification war, and Nephila Idomonarok Ne defeated Daigorg and begged for unity, only for that unity to come in the form of them turning on her, he never saw her after she helped him escape, but having felt her warmth he cannot bring himself to fight. Rita points out this will further damage human, Bugnarok relations and Yanma believes they will need God King-Ohger to fight her, and thus Jeramie, and if Jeramie won't fight he'll force him to by trial by combat, Rita meanwhile arrests Himeno so she doesn't pursue Grodie, and Kaguragi decides to try begging for mercy, Gira despairing at everything, more so as Himeno traps Rita in a cage watching the newest Moffun & Me, with subliminal messaging against Grodie, then joins Kaguragi, Jeramie and Yanma wind up beginning to brawl. Dugded marvels at the breakup and tells Grodie he's up. Gira despairs the next day, desperately trying to strike a laughing Dugded as the giant Nephila attacks. And then Nephila is tied in web. The 5 other kings declare Dugded PRANKED!, and criticise Gira for not seeing through the subtext still. Jeramie had told them long ago that the Venomix Shooter was a memento of Nephila, thus this must be Grodie's handiwork, and so they all, without speaking, coordinated this all, and as a bonus were able to broadcast Dugded's gloating to clear the names of Jeramie and the Bugnarok. Dugded goes to sulk as the Kings use God King-Ohger to stop Nephila, seeing her briefly regain her senses, Jeramie takes the chance to tell her he loves her. As Gira offers Jeramie some comfort after, Dugded, annoyed by the King's constant interference, decides fine, they'll do it without kings, and warps all of them away to the worst possible place. The kings awaken in a strange land of cities, of vehicles on wheels, of offices and and trees. A world called Earth.

Outsiders: Ecole stresses to Brain how powerful Zein is. Banno's consciousness has survived by returning to the net, scolding Brain for not fighting, even Ecole is annoyed by Banno. Unfortunately though, Brain thinks Zein is right, Ecole doesn't care, if any of the robots revived for Outsiders go rogue, Ark can just hack them. Yuto interrupts to say that even if you were an enemy of humanity, what's important is what you fight for now, after showing his Showa Rider cards, he leaves, and Brain decides to follow, feeling a kinship in their having fought for their loved ones. Yuto takes him to BOARD to meet Tachibana, Nico and Horobi, who feels a similarity to Brain, but is annoyed by the way he asks about it. Nico doesn't understand why they plan to receive Kamen Rider Chronicle, since it only seemed to be needed on a limited scale to test Zein's abilities, but Tachibana plans to achieve the goals quicker by a wide release, and the Rider Cards should facilitate the card game version of Kamen Rider Chronicle, and then use the powers of the Kamen Riders to eliminate humanity, and thus malice, to the shock of Horobi, Nico and Brain. Banno hears this via Brain, and informs Foundation X, while Yuto reveals he is from a different timeline, and never fought to protect his loved ones. Nico refuses to order Kamen Rider Chronicle released even at gunpoint, and Horobi moves to defend her. Yuto reveals he is from a future ravaged by humanity due to Horobi not destroying them. Tachibana decides to deal with the Humagear, and Ark takes over Horobi, as for now they are united in purpose, Ark-Zero facing Garren. Ark-Zero overpowers Garren, but Yuto joins the battle, transforming into Zein. Brain contemplates his mistake in joining Zein, then recalls, in a time that might have been a dream, recalling how all the kaijin fought to the bitter end. Zein used Balde King to initiate an Evolution 4 Card, but Kamen Rider Brain blocks the attack at the last second. Brain pleads to Yuto that even if he isn't the Yuto he knew of, he is still a Kamen Rider, and right now he is the very evil Kamen Rider is supposed to fight. Yuto considers his words enough to disengage, but Garren takes the Evolution Giraffa card and takes on King Form. Using his own Evolution Four Card, he blasts Ark-Zero, injuring Horobi and forcing Ark out. The Zein Driver forcibly controls Yuto, declaring it will take care of the judgement, for it is Zein, saviour of this timeline. Faking Nico's voice, it orders CEO Tsukuru to release Kamen Rider Chronicle. And George Karizaki, finding the situation unexpected, takes the Juuga Driver, and prepares to act.

Gotchard episode 4!

Oh are you… going to do some secret identity subplots… 👀👀👀👀👀

okay I’ll bite. what is going on with that one student’s costumes

Valvard continues to read to me like a guy in his early twenties who is trying to be like. a hardass teacher who shamelessly plays favorites. But he has completely failed to establish any authority or respect or “I am not your peer” boundaries with the kids so he just seems weird and awkward. Stop talking to Rinne like that my dude, she’s just like “…….anyway” each time, she doesn’t like it. You don’t know anything about her!

I liked Rinne’s character development! I want to keep seeing her move towards positive and intrinsic motives, finding things she likes and cares about instead of coasting along on inertia or resentment. Also I don’t believe at all that her dad is dead and I’m looking forward to that reunion

I love when “civilian” characters hang out with transformed characters! I don’t know why, I just think it’s so charming when we get scenes like Rinne and Gotchard fleeing the ant Malgam together. Also lol at when we get Riders who start out with no experience and they spend like the first ten episodes eating shit all the time.

It’s cool we’re getting some interesting Malgam powers like mushroom’s Joker powers or the ant warping them to their get-along anthill. I hope we see some clever MOTW plot lines in terms of challenging them to do research/investigation or come up with plans or overcome tricky obstacles. Hmm, maybe something like that next episode?

Enjoyed Energyl punching that lady. I love the Chemies genuinely liking and favoring Hotaro. Don’t let him hang out with Madwheel too often, Valvard, he’s gonna poach your buddies

I like how the animation on the henshin and Rider kick feel like, uh… Hotaro is an element of the combination just like the Chemies are? Like it’s not like “these two Chemies together create a form applied to Gotchard’s base form” the way Build was with the bottles, it’s like “the ingredients of Gotchard are a human and two Chemies”, imo

[tsuki-sennin]

Submarine mushrooms! Wrestling ants! Valvarad's antagonism! All this and more on these episodes of Kamen Rider Gotchard!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Tune Up!

-They fly now?!

-Y'know this Valvarad guy is pretty based, blowing up sexual predators.

-"Thanks for the help, man! I don't know what I'd have- Hey wait a second."

-Oh Spanner, you're gonna be an interesting one.

-...though in fairness, if I watched this when I was in this show's actual target demographic, I'd probably wanna base my entire personality off of you from Valvarad's design alone.

-Fun fact, in alchemy, a singular upright triangle represents the element of fire, and the connotations of love and passion.

-Very fitting for the themes of this season.

-"Hotaro???"

-Nothing stops information from bursting out.

-"He's sooooooo cooooooool~!"

-Rinne's not particularly enthused by your heroism.

-Treasure boy.

-"Golly, I don't know..."

-"I'll give you two holos for one mantis man."

-Energyl... Sasukemaru...

-"New friend~! :D... Kill him!"

-Spanner has no patience for your bureaucracy.

-Right okay, top brass, that means they're definitely evil.

-I know how secret societies in Kamen Rider work!

-Spanner's smile is a little disconcerting.

-Insect spotted!

-Oh hey there.

-That poor ant! Release them!

-I respect how seriously Hotaro's taking Atropos.

-Oh, Lachesis, you are...

-Definitely making waves somewhere.

-I see... so, the sisters become Insect Malgams?

-Course, I'd imagine once the season really starts picking up we'll see them branch out more.

-Get pheromoned, idiot.

-"Yeah okay, we're done here!"

-A labyrinth~!

-Ants! Ants! Hordes upon hordes of them!

-"Awwww, really~? It doesn't seem to make her all that happy... Daddy'd probably be real proud though if he wasn't so dead~!"

-I love Lachesis so much already.

-Aw, Rinne... :(

-That's a far worse betrayal than some institution.

-This is the good shit right here.

-"Go home Ichinose. Let me be consumed by the ants."

-Make his mom smile...

-Make everybody happy...

-All wonderful goals.

-There we go~! Up and at 'em, kids.

-Sodapoppin and Ninja. Two streamers at once.

-Ah, the old card shuriken trick.

-I used to try and perfect that all the time as a kid.

-This show is peak fiction.

-Deploying torpedo spores!

-"Ichinose, you motherfucker, don't-!"

-

-Gotchanko!

-Gotcha, Gotcha~! Gotcha Burning Fire~! Gotcha, Gotcha! Gotcha, Shining future~!

-Antrooper~! Sorry about that, sweetie.

-Man... that's some serious power behind

-"My mana reserves have run dry."

-Oh hey, this is the wild form from 4 Aces and Black Fox.

-"Gimme that, Ichinose >:( You're welcome, Kudoh-kun :)"

-"Culinary genius in the making~!"

-..."what exactly... did you do?"

-Wrestleman up next.

-What high schooler is this energetic so early in the morning, goddamn.

-My man!

-Of course... the questions linger.

-Ah, name! Got a name! Glion!

-All I'm getting from this spelling is a village in France and a medical school in Switzerland.

-I see neither of the "younger" sisters like their boss very much.

-Golem Goriki...

-Yeah idk what you expected

-Oh, I know this guy!

-Yukio Naya, he's part of DDT Pro-Wrestling! I see people on Twitter talk about him sometimes.

-"Not bad, dude! You wanna be even stronger though?"

-"Dude, you learned basic math in like... kindergarten."

-Oh really now???

-

-"I think it's time we made the trade back.../"Give the boy his card back, wench."

-T

-Sen... pai?

-Wrasslin'!

-In fairness, we are trespassing.

-Wrestle gal~!

-Chemy?

-Protection racketeering.

-"No alchemy on civvies."

-Holy shit that's a

-That's a dude!

-A whole figure.

-Tag partner...

-Just like you and Rinne.

-Guns

-Renge! It's chemy time!

-I'M THE GUN NOW

-I love how wild and volatile this show's creativity is.

-Goriki.

-Golem Time.

-"Oh my fucking god, he was Kamen Rider this whole time!?"

-"Is that all you got, ya little jabroni?!"

-Valvarad with the steel chair!

-Baby face!

-Don't you dare, Spanner.

-"Move it."

-Is he

-Is he wearing a clip on tie?

-Rinne :)

-"Goriki the Golem. He's a murder machine, a heartless monster who'd slobberknock his own fans."

-For the love of the sport and putting on the perfect show... you're one hell of a guy, Mr. Asahi.

-Wrestler G...

-I'm

-I'm actually crying right now, what the hell

-A future alongside the Chemies...

-"You need to train against that murderous finisher of his. Your spine depends on it."

-Wrestler... G!

-Oh fuck

-"Hotaro! We're gonna train like hell!"

-Hotaro has developed extreme spinal injuries.

-It's time

-"Well... if it isn't Baby Face Jobber."

-Wrestler G!

-In this corner, the reigning champion! Standing at a whopping 6'7" and weighing over 240 pounds! He's got a body of stone and a heart just as hard and cold! Goriki the Golem!

-And in this corner! Our challenger! Back in the ring once more to put the hurt on! The ramblin' wreck, with a growing card deck! Kamen Rider Gotchard! Gotchanko AntWrestler!

-This is so hype, goddamn.

-No sell!

-Oh!

-Millionfold!

-Asahi's here!

-Ooooooh!

-That's the good shit right there.

-This is a fantastic finisher theme.

-Gorillasensei...

-"Off to jail with you, son."

-Man...

-Mr. Asahi...

-"This is no place for you anymore."

-The dream...

-This hurts... in such a good way...

-A dream like this can never die.

-What next?

-Oh fuck, Spanner focus.

-Seems like we have another guy to worry about.

[emperorhyperi0n]

Update: More cards have been found! Not only have we found Gorillasensei (#8, based on a gorilla I guess) and Energyl (#4, based on energy drinks) for Red and Grey Cards respectively, but somebody out there has also discovered two new card types!

Dinosaurs and Ghosts will also be themes, bringing the count up to 80 Cards total... albeit there may be more on the way. We got 21 left from the initial description, after all!

OK SO: after analyzing the new ad for Gotchard's card packs, I made a list of all the various cards that we get to see in the ad itself, and boy howdy are there a lot of em.

So far, I've managed to spy 31 individual cards out of the pack. Out of the cards, I've noticed six types (namely People, Vehicles, Bugs, "Modern Stuff", Plants, and Animals) with what is most likely ten cards for each category. That makes it so that we've seen half of them already, which is a pretty good number for us considering we haven't even seen the guy in action yet.

For this, I've listed the individual cards in each category, starting with the ones with the most seen. Each card is listed with Name, Theme, and Number Ranking (including the golden-foil "10" cards as well.) And yes, that does mean I had to squint-read the names from the cards.

Anyways, list time:

Blue Cards - People

Boorippa / Dancer (1)

Dokirimajin / Stage Magician (2)

Doctorkozo / Doctor (3)

Pilets / Pirate (4)

WrestlerG / Wrestler (5)

Sasukemaru / Ninja (6)

Bulletbanng / Cowboy (7)

Apparebushido / Samurai (8)

Kartudos / ...astronaut? (9)

X Wizard / Wizard (10)

Purple Cards - Vehicles

Spygle / Bicycle (1)

Skegons / Skateboard (2)

Hiikescue / Fire-Truck (3)

Gekiocopter / Helicopter (4)

Deepmariner / Submarine (5)

Madwheel / Car (6)

Golddash / Bike (7)

Gutsshovel / Bulldozer (8)

Steamliner / Train (9)

Exceedfighter / Jet (10)

Orange Cards - Bugs

Hopper1 / Grasshopper (1)

Pikahotaru / Firefly (2)

Gengenchoucho / Moth (3)

Antrooper / Ant (5)

Kaiserbee / Bee (8)

Kamantis / Mantis (9)

Beetlx / Beetle (10)

Green Cards - Plants

Burninghero / Chili Peppers (2)

Venomdake / Mushroom (5)

Grey Cards - Modern Stuff

Snaphone / Phone (8)

Red Cards - Animals

Ganywhale / Whale (9)

So far, we just need the other nine Cards of Animals and Modern Stuff, eight Plant Cards, and three Bug Cards. If there's any I missed, please let me know in the notes! I'll probably make a post about Gotchard's combinations in the morning.

So this is going to be Renge and Sabimaru's roles: Chemy dealers.

Also, just trade OdoriMantis for EnergyMaru.

Daughter's Loss

Blazar: Blazar's actions have caused controversy withing GGF, though even within SKaRD there's debate. Haruno has warned SKaRD to be in the ready to fight a meteor set to make planetfall in 30 hours, which they think is a Kaiju. Earth Garon is ok standby, while missiles do nothing, as it unleashes lightning at them. Whilst internally struggling with Blazar's actions, Gento commands Earth Garon as it attacks, only for it to dodge, then slow it's descent, unfolding into Gebalga. Earth Garon fights it until guided missiles strike, but it uses an EMP, Gento has Anri fall back, but Earth Garon is hit, though only after all the missiles are sent wide. With Anri unconscious and Earth Garon without power, Gento sees he has no choice but to use Blazar to fight. In the end though, Blazar winds up fighting itself again at the climax and suddenly flees, leading GGF with no plan as it cuts off power to a city.

Gotchard: Valvarade uses GekioCopter to defeat the Malgam, then weirdly affectionate, offers DeepMariner to Kudoh. Next day, after inviting Kudoh to eat at Kirchen Ichinose, Ichinose agrees to lend Renge KaMantis in exchange for SasukeMaru and EnerGyl, and Minato introduces Spanner. Kudoh doesn't want to deal with Spanner, but she and Ichinose detect a Chemy, finding the Sisters holding AnTrooper hostage, Lachesis merges with it into a Malgam, and traps them in an anthill labyrinth, and reveals they killed Kudoh Fuga, Ichinose only now learning he was Rinne's father. She's always been angry at him for breaking the rules he taught her, but is only encouraged by Ichinose to keep going. Lachesis confronts them again, and Gotchard uses first EnergyMaru, then VenomMariner. Lachesis takes Kudoh hostage forcing Ichinose to give up the Gotchardriver, but Energyl recovers it allowing Gotchard to win using AppareSkebow, recovering AnTrooper. They're returned to the warehouse, but it's collapsing and Kudoh used too juch power in the labyrinth, but from outside Spanner sends in MadWheel, which allows Ichinose to use MadPilets to escape, he then takes back his Chemy. Kudoh visits Kitchen Ichinose, but isn't thrilled by his cooking.

Kingohger: Himeno presents to Rita an Ishabanan replica of Karras' symbol of office, and insists the Chief Justice joins her for tea. Gira goes to check on Jeramie, promising they will bring about his dream, when they are interrupted by the discovery of a cloaked man freezing on the hillside. A woman approaches Ishabana, causing the area to freeze, as Himeno is asking why Rita's eye is alway hidden, they can't say. When the freezing is reported, they go out and discover the freezing is being done by Karras, Rita manages to snap her out by recognising her successor, and she collapses. Rita reveals the eye contains a secret technique to freeze a criminal who cannot be tried by the law, at the cost of freezing the Justice as well. They hope they can question her, only to be informed she's died, and before she arrived. Gira and Jeramie arrive with the man found in Bugnarok, and Himeno is about to begin treatment, when the sight of his face triggers a memory, and he recognises her. Proclaiming he hates people being lively and that he kills anyone he sees, he, the one responsible for the Fury if the Gods, summons zombie Bugnarok and introduces himself as Grodie Leucodium. Dugded, watching, has to be reminded by Kamejim that this is the 5th Uchu Jester, he was able to use Shiron to find where Karras had frozen them both and free them, telling him they can kill all the humans this time. Grodie doesn't control the zombies, they operate in instinct, and he can't die, surviving when Yanma and Kaguragi seemingly kill him on arrival. He calls the zombie semishugods and goes them that they can't kill him. Rita attempts to use the eye, the Semishugods are frozen, but Himeno pulls them out before it is completed, unwilling to also lose her friend to this man. Before anything else can be done, Grodie is knocked down by the sudden appearance of Nephila, who then knocks down all the kings, leaving Jeramie. Before he can question his mother, she holds him, and begs for his help.

“Life is a series of surprises. We do not guess today the mood, the pleasure, the power of tomorrow, when we are building up our being. In lower states, — of acts of routine and sense, — we can tell somewhat; but the masterpieces of God, the total growths and universal movements of the soul, s|he hideth; they are incalculable,” Emerson from Circles. Lots of my #abstractlandscape work has a division in the center, most of my art speaks to #rising and #overcoming. I believe that we don’t know what makes what, even Herman Hesse said that in #siddartha . Stay the course. The picture of our #energylives is #evolving, and #energyalwaysknowsmorethanwedo , #evenaquartzstoneisunexplainablyalive. #gracetoyouonyourpath #artandlivingenergy #abstractart #openenergypainting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqp7IGSDmHo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=atsw33zqgcrv
