Kamen Rider Gavv Episode 28 Production Blog

took a break to focus on enjoying the collective unconscious update… now i’m back baby (i think)

TOKU TRANSLATION MASTERPOST HERE

translated from this website

Looking at the Next Episode

Hanto has successfully powered up. His and Shoma’s smiles can be seen again, and their story has reached a conclusion. A new chapter begins in episode 29. Episodes 29 and 30 are directed by Satoshi Morota. Is everyone playing basketball together? What’s good if you play together with the “Hapipare” team? We decided on basketball because it’s Shoji’s specialty! Higo of the Dachou Club is the guest for this episode. This is a “Hapipare” job episode that seems fun as soon as you see it, but since it’s Kamen Rider, it doesn’t end there.

A new power appears on the enemy side as well. Surprisingly, Jiip reappears alongside the president of the Granute world and his daughter. Suddenly the scale of the conflict is much larger— the president’s here! Speaking of, Lango had said to Siita and Jiip that “you’ll be marrying into wealthy families as intermediaries with the Stomach family” (in episode 11).

As a new power structure has appeared, this arc is also about the Stomach family. Everyone in it is a unique and talented actor. They had a big impact even when they didn’t get much screen time, but Sawayama can appear in the show from now on. Please look forward to it! And, of course, Shoma and the others won’t lose either. Friendship and power-ups. There will be many happenings from here on out. Don’t miss the spring episodes of “Gavv”!

The Episode in Short

Hanto’s specialist researcher, Suga, transformed into Kamen Rider Bake in episode 27. The second half of the “soulful Sugihara arc” was a critical moment for both Hanto and Yusuke Hino!

His relationship with Suga has finally come to an end. And not only the relationship between Suga and Hanto, but also the one between Shoma and Hanto, who have been distancing themselves from each other for quite some time, briefly settles here. I think this episode serves as a big milestone in “Gavv’s” story.

The audio commentary with Hino and Asanuma currently streaming on TTFC (Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club) is also a must-see! Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club is here -> https://tokusatsu-fc.jp/

Chocolate Frappe Ties a Bond

Like the name he gave of “Soulful Sugihara Arc”, you can see Hino put his entire soul into episode 28. There were tons of retakes of the scene where he fell into hopelessness and despair because he felt responsible for Shioya’s death, and even while receiving a barrage of criticism, he stayed determined in his acting.

Great job, Hino!

This scene had Shoma and Hanto pour their hearts out for the first time in a long time. Since the Tasaki episodes, right? The scene was specifically filmed in a very important location where their feelings intersect. (The brilliance of the surface of the water, like in the OP’s lyrics, is also great!)

I think Hanto has been confident up to now, but in this scene, Hanto shows his weakness for the first time and Shoma seems to cheer him up.

The chocolate frappe used in this scene happens to be the “Chocolixir” offered by GODIVA! Both Komura and the director experienced GODIVA’s Chocolixir beforehand, and came up with what Shoma would think according with that.

Even before filming, we had plenty of detailed briefing sessions with GODIVA while preparing for it. We thank them for their cooperation! The cast members also seemed to find it very delicious, especially given the fact that it was still warm outside at the time!

Grandpa Dente is the one who takes action to save the unwell Hanto. Within the room (cave) that Sachika dramatically transformed, he strives to remodel Rakia’s belt.

Dente is working hard! (But the Gochizo is unfinished)

Kamen Riders use belts, and Bake is a Kamen Rider! [TN: this was a transition to another topic and i couldn’t make it work very well, sorry] Hanto finally makes his bike debut after a long time as a Kamen Rider. Hino happily took on this challenge of a bike-driving scene which he’d longed to do!

You’ve got to have motorcycles in Kamen Rider!

The Mad Scientist’s Hidden Side

Asanuma’s eerie-yet-fascinating performance in episode 27 gave viewers a strong impression and became a hot topic. His character, Suga, had many moments in this episode as well!

Throw cane aside -> Remove glasses -> Take out a Gochizo -> Bite -> Snap fingers -> Transform His amazing transformation sequence contains a sequence of many actions to do while saying his lines!

The way Suga says “Transform” is very uninterested, so this episode was also injected full of Suga’s essence.

The hidden room of Suga’s laboratory is reflected alongside Brahms’ classical music. Components of a child’s room that are out-of-place in a facility for cultivating Bitter Gavvs produce an ominous atmosphere with how much they stand out.

What is the relation between the state of this room and Suga’s ideal of “creating the ultimate lifeform”? Well, actually, prior to filming, Komura handed a note to Asanuma that provided information on Suga. The contents of that note are unclear, but Asanuma gave his performance in this episode with them in mind.

Birth of the Frappe Custom

“Gavv” has many sober action scenes, but this episode was especially full of it. They also received action training beforehand, but Chinen and Hino persevered through the flesh-and-blood fight against Bake under the guidance of Action Director Fujita on the set as well.

In this episode, Kaji, who plays the part of Valen’s actor, also served as a stunt double in the fight scene. Here’s the Hino and Kaji duo— they’re close in age and get along well! LOL

The name of the new Gochizo which Shoma creates and gives to Hanto is “Frappeis”. They’re twins, split into the cream part on top and the chocolate shake part on the bottom.

And many people were probably surprised by this part…

Th—they talked?!

Yes, this Gochizo talks. And they’re noisier than I expected (Laugh).

The one eye on the top is the older brother, and the bigger guy on the bottom is the younger brother. We started from the idea that they’re two people, therefore they should be brothers, but then Director Sugihara had an idea to have the older brother lead the younger one along while speaking in Kansas dialect, and for the younger brother to act a little more like the older one!

Hiroki Shimowada provides the voice for Frappeis. At the auditions to determine Frappeis’ voice actor, we noticed that the range of his voice was very noteworthy. He voices the two brothers very skillfully. He didn’t have any written lines in the script for his voice-overs, so he created the jokester brothers with nothing but ad-libs. (Laugh)

The one to transform with the power of this new Gochizo is Kamen Rider Valen Frappe Custom. This gorgeous design uses Valen’s red color in new places, and incorporates the gold from the crest on Frappeis all over the body. An important point is the drinking straw stuck in the back! This episode packs together both coolness and the delicious components of snacks!

Smoke from dry ice was used in the transformation shot, and it shows the nice-and-cold feeling of the freshly-made Frappe.

Frappe’s frozen attacks are also super cool, but Valen’s rough-and-tumble action remains! He’s strong enough to send the formidable opponent of Bake flying in one hit! And then there’s Valen’s trademark “drop-kick”!!! The gunfight inside the library was also an incredibly impressive scene of gun-Rider-on-gun-Rider action!

Here is Sugihara’s direction seen in the shot of the final blow that defeats Bake. Hanto’s action-comic-esque performance and Director Sugihara’s anime-like direction is truly incredible…!

By the way, Hanto’s last line to Suga, “Bye, man,” was a line that the director and Hino came up with together during voiceover recording. He’s a horrible enemy, but this line shows that Hanto has many thoughts for Suga, who gave him his powers.

In the last scene of episode 28, the habitual offender Nyelv appears once again. “Leave the rest to me”— He’s definitely got something bad planned!!! (Laugh)

This filming day was Asanuma’s final day on the show! He didn’t receive flowers but instead a toy (the ValenBuster) (Laugh)

An Added Bonus

Sugihara’s birthday was celebrated during this Sugihara episode. As a surprise, he received a paper written and drawn on by Chinen, Hino, Shoji, and Miyabe. It gives words of thanks to Director Sugihara, who is sometimes strict towards the cast but closer to them than anyone else.
