Not only did kamen rider got hard create rainbow got hard, and debut it at the start of June, but the episode that debuted it ALSO had an amazing message about going out into the world and believing in a brighter vdutire despite how many scary and hurtful things might be out there. FUCK I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!

The Rainbow Fever. I love how it seems to be a more brightly-colored SteamHopper Fever.

have you seen the reveal for kamen rider gavv yet? i've fallen in love with him, he looks so great. not to mention that he doesn't have an overt animal motif this time, i've been missing having a non-animal themed main rider since zi-o. and it's just funny trying to see people guess what animal he could possibly be (i've seen rabbit, cat, jackal, and kangaroo so far).

YEAH he's so purple and shiny! 💜🧡💜 I love candy themes/aesthetic and I'm SO jazzed to see a whole series based around that; really looking forward to the trailer/press conference in like. a month. :') though I had assumed he was supposed to be reminiscent of a...cutely-rounded gummy beetle or something, because Rider? they look more like horns than ears to me at least!

oh my god I REALLY need to catch up on Gotchard

ichinose hotaro is using rainbow breath to turn the freaking chemies gay. hes putting it in their water

[narashikari]

Hot take: Nijigon is a better friend and powerful than Fox Jesus

(Like, literally, it helped avert a potential Darth Tanuki arc repeat and resurrected the dead Chemmies the day it was born, how can Ace top that)

Kamen Rider Gotchard Heads Into Its Final Season and The Summer Movie With Two New Visuals

Kamen Rider Gotchard Heads Into Its Final Season and The Summer Movie With Two New Visuals #仮面ライダーガッチャードデイブレイク #ガッチャード #Gotchard #KamenRider #Entertainment #Tokusatsu #Television #仮面ライダーシリーズ #DAIGO

We’re getting closer to the end as The Dark King Gigist has finally made his move in the upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Gotchard, but the newest visual for the final season showcases a brand-new form and teases what’s to come in the upcoming Summer Movie. The recent episode finished off the Legend Edition arc that incorporated several story elements from the two-episode web series, Kamen Rider…

Skebows, Apparebushido, Mechanichani and Golddash are fighting as their Gotchako alongside Houtarou! This is the true power of Rainbow Gotchard! I love it. Even if we've seen this gimmick before with Fourze Cosmicstates and Gaim Kiwami Arms.

Rider Theory Time

-Nijigon/Rainbow Gotchard will have the ability to return color to/revive "Dead" Chemys. A Light of Hope to become the antithesis of Gigist's Stygian Abyssal Darkness.

And Gigist is prolly gonna be betrayed/absorbed by Atropos. Like, when he more or less mocked her desire to see Geryon revived? That was not a "Oh, okay." look. That was a "Okay. Watch your back, buddy." look.

gotchard... kinda got away from itself in the end there, unfortunately.

far too many plates to spin by the end and not enough time to properly resolve them all, especially twilight majade and valvarad kurogane's debuts which could've been so much more effective had they at least been two-parters. i think it's easy to single out the legend arc as where things started to go wrong, but i'd disagree. a month-long detour isn't not disruptive, but we had about 15 episodes afterwards to tie everything together, and other shows have done more with less. in hindsight i think gigist's initial death and the introduction of the other two kings were more trouble than they were worth. i was interested to see where it went at the time, but in the end they were pretty much glorified mooks. not worth it

and you know, given that agito was a point of inspiration for the season, i wonder if things would've gone smoother had they taken a page out of that book and gone for an extended epilogue after rainbow's debut. i joked about a version where tacchan was the "true" final boss, but honestly? i think something like that could've benefited the themes the show was going for. make the whole endgame about alchemists and chemies being exposed instead of just the final few episodes, and what hotaro and the gang have to do to truly bring the two worlds together. you'd still have room for the stuff that mostly worked (sabi and kajiki's resolutions, hotaro vs spanner, etc.) without trying to constantly one-up what you did before (there's no beating hotaro's magic egg prison!)

still, despite any disappointments i might have, it's hard not to come away from that final scene with a full heart and a smile on your face. one last "hoppah!" to cure all ailments.

and at the end of the day, that's my main takeaway from gotchard. i loved this show, flaws and all. i loved spending time with these characters. i loved all the silly little creatures and the awful cgi forms and the massive tonal whiplashes and ms inoue's twisted mind and spanner's STUPID ass catchphrase. i may have been a bit hyperbolic in my comparisons to early phase 2 heisei seasons, but this show really did bring me back to that feeling i got when i first started watching kamen rider with shows like fourze and wizard, and it'll always be special to me because of it <3

and the good news is, with gotchard season 2 airing now, they'll have plenty of time t— [holds a finger up to my earpiece] im sorry? [...] oh... i see... [...] [grimacing] you said two Vs?
