ChocoGummy scenario ft the Gochizou

The Gochizou are tired of ChocoGummy's shit- they've been pining for each other while also somehow flirting like teenagers, working together like they've been doing it for ages and occasionally bickering like an old married couple. So they decide to hatch a hare-brained scheme to get the two together. And it works, somehow without either being aware it was the Gochizous who set them up.

They end up regretting it because Shouma and Hanto just end up doing all of the above even more, but cranked up to 11, without the pining and being an actual lovey-dovey couple with more PDA and domestic bliss. And ofc they have sex regularly, much to the Gochizou's dismay, especially when Shouma is on top (let's just say Hanto didn't even mind having to replace some bits of furniture here and there).

lookin' good, Paisan!

Animage December 2024 Issue Kamen Rider Gavv ft. Hino Yusuke Interview (translation below)

Publication: November 9, 2024

Letting his fighting spirit "melt" into his bullets

Even within the Kamen Rider series, which has enjoyed a history spanning over half a century, there are only a few who have been chosen to become a Kamen Rider with as much tragic resolve weighing on their shoulders as Karakida Hanto. Hanto's mother was kidnapped by a Granute when he was a child, and while investigating the Granutes, his mentor, Shioya Soji, loses his life. In order to avenge Shioya's death, he decided to accept the offer to undergo a life threatening remodification surgery from Suga Kenzo, someone who's researching a method to exterminate the Granutes. The result of his suffering is that he obtained the power to transform into Kamen Rider Valen.

Sometimes, he guesses a Granutes true identity based on the slightest bit of evidence, other times, he shows his kindness in order to support a girl who's chasing her dreams, and at other times, he shows his playful side by instinctively posing when the cameras are pointed at him……Being able to calmly consider the situation and remain open to one's emotions like that may be what's needed to confront the "monsters" that prey on people's happiness.

Although allies like Suga are currently present, Hanto's still pursuing information about the Granutes on his own. Will he be able to reach the enemy responsible for taking his mother from him? We hope you'll watch as Kamen Rider Valen's battle intensifies. _

-This also expands the range of Hanto's feeling-

"Since his first transformation in episode 6, Hanto's also been active as a Kamen Rider."

Hino: After the first transformation episode, I received heartfelt messages from tons of people, such as, "I'm looking forward to seeing what Valen will do going forward." I was also impressed by the response to the sequence of events leading up to the transformation, with comments like, "They're depicting a setting similar to a Showa Rider in a Reiwa Rider."

"It was a very unrefined first transformation scene."

Hino: It was my first transformation, and I was just trying to keep up with the flow of the performance, so I acted with conflicting feelings. I think it was because of the way Director Morota Satoshi said, "Let's make it this kind of taste," and created it on the spot that a sense of liveliness was born. This is one of my personal favorite scenes, as since I started this job, I've been working hard and doing my best, and I felt as though it connected me and Hanto.

"The avant garde exchange with Kamen Rider Gavv in episode 7 was also funny. He calls himself Valen, a name he associates with Valentine (laughs)."

Hino: That scene was fun to act out (laughs). I got into it as best as I could imagine, and the "In the end, the concept is still chocolate….." scene was given the OK with just one take. Still, I had a hard time at first deciding on which of the emotions from my previous performances to keep consistent. For everyone watching, a week has passed, but Hanto's just fought his mentor's enemy out of revenge, and he's still physically damaged. However, Sugi-san (Director Sugihara) told me to go all out, and since I myself like comedic scenes, I didn't hold back.

"Is there anything memorable from filming the transformation scene?"

Hino: For the fixed transformation pose from the second time onwards, I couldn't close the lever of the gun (Valen Buster) fully, or the Gochizou would pop out when I swung it downwards too aggressively, so I had to do alot of retakes until I got used to it (laughs). I remember having to work at it until I could make cool gestures and movements like a Kamen Rider. One of the Directors gave me some advice about the transformation, and it really struck me. It was, "It's a privilege for the chosen ones to be able to say "Henshin," and the word transformation must convey how the character is feeling as they fight." So, every time I transform, I'm conscious of how to convey my emotions in that moment.

"Once again, please tell us your impression of Hanto."

Hino: Hanto became lonely after losing his mother, met his mentor when he was acting like a delinquent, became his apprentice, and is looking for monsters in his work as a writer. He's someone who's had many experiences that I haven't had. I was conscious of this past before we started filming, and I thought that he was nothing like me. But as I talked with Screenwriter Komura Junko-san and Sugi-san, it was almost like Hanto came to me. While respecting what was different between me and him, I began to draw from my own clumsiness and roughness in order to become closer to Hanto.

"Considering he has a passionate side, and a serious backbone despite being silly, Hanto seems to have a wide range."

Hino: That's right. Shouma's pure and Sachika's a gyaru, but I think there are situations and relationships that are created by each and every one of Hanto's "faces." I'm challenging myself to widen my range, and not settle for, "This is just how Hanto is."

"You're thinking, "If this isn't Hanto, then this is," right?"

Hino: Yes. If I perform as Hanto, then I become Hanto, or to put it another way, it's my job to create Hanto, and I consider it rewarding.

"In episode 9, the most recent episode, we got a glimpse of Hanto's more mature side in a scene with Kirari."

Hino: I wanted to express Hanto's clumsy yet passionate attitude toward children in the scene where he consults with Kirari-chan in a friendly and helpful manner. In the scene before that, when the safety buzzer is set off, he's mistaken for a suspicious person even though he didn't mean it that way, which is typical of Hanto (laughs). I think it's a funny scene that shows off Hanto's cuteness.

-We hope that Hanto will be rewarded one day-

"What are your impressions of Kaji Kotaro-san, the Suit Actor who plays Valen?"

Hino: I feel that Kaji-san has a passionate kindness within him, and that he's pulling me along. Valen's actions are also broken down into a fighting style that's typical of Hanto, and I realized that we were creating one role together. We sometimes talk over a few drinks, and in a positive way, we have friendly competition, where we can say what we want to say to each other.

"What do you find important when doing post recording?"

Hino: Hanto has a wide range of expressions, but when he transforms into Valen, he's fighting a Granute, so I'm aware that he's in a state of hostility and wanting revenge. I try to avoid feeling strangely calm, I always act with the feeling that I'm risking my life.

"Maybe it's like you're switching over into battle mode."

Hino: That might be it. When I speak as Hanto, I go back to my natural self, so I think that this is fine.

"How's the atmosphere on set?"

Hino: Hide has a strong sense of responsibility as the main character, and thanks to his leadership, we were able to communicate with each other from the very beginning, and as filming progressed, the vibes between Shouma, Sachika, and Hanto were established. Hide and Miyabecchi tease me in a nice way, so I think we've established an equal relationship. In regards to Hide, I've always played younger brother characters, so I was alittle nervous that "the younger generation has appeared" (laughs), but he has a pure, brotherly cuteness to him that naturally makes me want to spoil him.

"Speaking of Hanto, we think the presence of his mentor, Shioya Soji, who was mentioned earlier, is significant."

Hino: Komatsu Toshimasa-san's performance gave me goosebumps…..! It's natural, subtle, convincing, yet very unconstrained. I feel a sense of respect for him and thought that I'd like to do a performance like that in the future. He's someone I truly want to call "mentor," and I think it was thanks to Komatsu-san that I was able to cry real tears in the scenes where Hanto cries thinking about his mentor.

"Now that Shioya's passed away, his interactions with Suga Kenzo at his lab are striking."

Hino: Suga's making a mess out of Hanto's life (laughs), but the scenes with Suga are also interesting to perform. The very beginning of the show is focused on Shouma and Sachika, and Hanto and Suga, but it was a valuable experience for me to be able to perform one on one with Asanuma Shintaro-san, as I learned alot from him. I'd seen some of the anime that Asanuma-san was in, but when I looked up his appearances, I was shocked and thought, "He was in this one too?!" I'm happy that we communicate with each other on set, talking about all sorts of things, from matters relating to personal life and acting.

"He's a reliable senior who's the complete opposite of Suga."

Hino: That's true (laughs). I think the gap between him and his role is interesting. I'm working together with him with alot of respect.

"Do you have a favorite anime?"

Hino: Most recently, I like "The Dangers in My Heart." Once I became an adult, I stopped watching romance series like that out of embarrassment, but when I watched The Dangers in My Heart for the first time in awhile, it made my heart skip a beat! I'd say that it gives off a sense of purity that only a middle school student can have, and injects you with emotions that we can't get in the real world….it's a really good series. I myself used to play soccer, so I watched alot of sports anime and manga such as "Haikyu!!," "Ace of Diamond," "SLAM DUNK," and "Major." Those are what got me addicted to watching real sports like the NBA.

"If you had to pick an anime that you especially like, what would it be?"

Hino: I love Kyoto Animation's "Beyond the Boundary," and not only have I seen the main TV series, but I've also watched the movie more than 10 times! I was in middle school at the time, and I used to imitate Kanbara Akihito, the main character who's obsessed with glasses, and say, "Pretty girls with glasses are nice, huh?" (laughs). I was so absorbed in it, that I even established a glasses research club at school using my authority as the student council president.

"Isn't that an abuse of power? (laughs)."

Hino: Of course, but it was an unofficial club, okay? (laughs). Now, I'll often watch live action movies and TV dramas in order to study acting, but before I became an actor, I was exposed to various works to the extent that I had a modest interest in them.

"In the future, are there any situations you'd like to perform as Hanto?"

Hino: Things like explosions are areas I haven't experienced yet. Falling into water……isn't a challenge I'm actively looking to take on (laughs). Personally, I'm interested in what would happen if Hanto were to experience something like love being directed toward him. Hanto lost his mother, and he's the type to have narrow, but deep relationships with people, so along with friendship and human affection, I think he's hungry for love. What I imagine is that in a peaceful world where he doesn't have to fight against the Granutes, Hanto will most likely develop a longing for family and a desire to overcome the trauma of losing his loved ones.

"Only painful things happen to him, so we hope it all works out for Hanto."

Hino: I really hope so. On the other hand though, there's something appealing about being unrewarded (laughs). While being the spice that enhances the excitement of Kamen Rider Gavv, I hope that Hanto will continue to be loved by everyone, and I too will continue to devote myself to Hanto with love and care every day!

[banqanas]

And i love the wordplay they put in Kaguya's line "... gorgeous gochisou"

As in the ごちそう from [ごちそう]さまでした you say as thanks after eating a meal

a.k.a the name for the little gummies [Gochizou] is from gochisou!

Gavv's cameo in Gotchard final episode!!!

[the-tubort]

Be me, running around the streets of Japan without a single umbrella in sight. I trip onto the ground and I severely damage my knee. Blood is pooling around me and I look up into the sky and worry about the potential infections from the rain water, but before all hope is lost...

Some random Bandai executive appears before me and presents me this umbrella celebrating the deaths of dozens of Gochizou in the name of corporate profits

[maxinator44]

I know this won’t happen but I really hope that they bring back the donut lady from Kamen Rider Wizard and she’s the one who gives Shouma the donuts for the donut gochizous. I just want to see what she’s up to now. Find someone who’ll actually appreciate her donut flavors.

The gochizou are really packaged like candy

*glares at haters* Don't you fucking dare

[narashikari]

Had a distressing ChocoGummy hc... putting under a readmore because of character death implications

Hanto finally realized Shouma was right about Granutes, everything he was telling Hanto about them finally got through to him. And all it took was for him to realize it was the worst day of his life happening.

He'd been fighting a Granute, but had frozen at the worst possible moment. He thought he was a goner... only for Shouma to jump in and take the bullet meant for Hanto.

A fatal hit that Shouma didn't even hesitate to take for him.

By the time Hanto registered what happened, the Granute had fled, and Shouma laid on the ground, suit gone and bleeding out. Hanto managed to crawl to him and cradled his bloodied form in his arms.

Shouma still managed to smile at him. He was just glad Hanto was okay.

Hanto, on the other hand, was beside himself with panic- there was so much blood, the Gavv was ominously sparking, the Gochizous were making distressed noises. And all he could ask was why, why did he do it, why did he risk his life for him when they were enemies.

"Because even now, you're my friend," Shouma replied. "One of my first... the very best." He chuckled weakly. "And the least I could do is save you... and help you in your goal a bit."

Hanto's confusion only lasted a moment until he realized what Shouma meant and horror set in. "No... Shouma, I-"

"At least you have one less Granute to kill, right? At least... I won't be able to hurt you like they all do... anymore..." Shouma went slack in Hanto's arms, his eyes fluttering close.

And no matter how much Hanto begged him and shook him, no matter how much the Gochizous wailed in distress, Shouma didn't wake up. A rainstorm brewed, but not even the loud thunder could drown out Hanto's sobs of despair and grief as he clung to Shouma, apologizing and begging forgiveness and vowing to be better, to do right by him, so please... please...

[writerdragon]

and we now know that the gochizou are willing to kill each other just to get into the gavv faster. and die sooner (via khytal)

I love the Gochizos so much. I know a lot of people in the Gavv fandom are wilding out over the prospect that Shoma is sacrificing them en masse, and Valen/Doctor Suga are doing terrible things to them

but I don't think it gets emphasized enough just how fucking ready these things are to die in battle.

These motherfuckers come out of the womb swinging. They scream if they don't get eaten. Shoma craves sweets, but the Gochizos crave violence. They thirst for the blood of their enemies. They will dive head-first into battle once Shoma suits up and square up along with him. They want to enter Hershey's Valhalla having sacrificed themselves for the cause, and hope to have their names sung by the all the remaining functioning McDonald's ice cream machines.

I'm certain that if they could speak in anything other than adorable squeaks they would be yelling "FATHER, BRING ME CLOSER! I WANT TO KILL!".

[asknarashikari]

Forgive me lord for i have sinned. Seriously though, Would this be like heaven or hell or hell for poppingummy?

Ask Book Jesus for forgiveness, maybe Touma will listen to you lol

...I have no idea what a Gochizou would think of this

[asknarashikari]

Anya picks up a Gochizou and Chemy thinking they are lost toys. As well as speaking to them.

Anya: You'll be safe with Anya til I find your owner, okie dokie.

Everyone's reaction?

I think the Gochizous will just be shocked she understands them (probably read their minds somehow)
