Something to note about Dark Valen’s debut.

I dunno about ya’ll but I found myself eyeballing Valen’s potential Dark Form to debut in the next episode this week. Mainly I’ve been looking at the dark spots on his suit.

At first I thought that was a really odd choice in design because it’s basically his default Valen Rider suit with just this oddly placed pixelated splash of brown on the white chocolate areas. Nothing remarkable or special especially compared to Shouma's upcoming Blizzard Sorbet form.

Like I said, I pegged this as a strange choice to depict Dark Valen …until the realization hit me like a brick.

Here me out.

What if… as a sign of Hanto slowly being corrupted and succumbing to the effects of the Chocold, it will be represented by the white chocolate parts of his suit turning dark brown bit by bit.

So the more Hanto uses the Chocold Gochizo to transform, the bigger the Chocold splotches on his white chocolate bits is going to spread until they become fully dark brown.

This is interesting since, you can almost say that the white bits of Valen’s suit are symbolic of Hanto’s connection and relationship with Shouma.

After all, it was Shouma who gifted Valen his Chocodon Gochizos so he can keep transforming. Nevermind that the Sugar Doctor originally stole one of the Gochizos. My point is that Valen’s main Chocodon Gochizo’s are white.

They, more or less, represent his bond with Shouma and Hanto’s purity as a Rider.

But with the introduction of Chocold, Valen’s friendship with Gavv is going to become tainted.

So the more Hanto uses the Chocolds, the more stained the whites of his rider suit are going to become and thus, the more tainted his relationship with Shouma is probably going to become as a result of it as well. Until eventually, there will no more white in Valen’s suit. No more purity. No more friendship with Shouma even.

Just a bitter lone hero, if you can even still call him that, fueled by revenge.

I feel like Hanto will probably arrive at the last Chocold from the stash that the Sugar Doctor gave him and it’ll be a case where either:

Hanto becomes addicted to the power of the Chocold and keeps going back to the Suga Doctor for a “fix” since the Chocold powers, while powerful, are only temporary compared to Chocodon.

Or

Hanto will use the same original stash of Chocold --- at first he’ll only use them sparingly until his desperation gets the better of him and he just starts using them more and more, no longer bothering to accept anymore Chocodons from Shouma as he’ll refuse them entirely to use Chocolds instead.

So Chocold vs Chocodons will be another tool to represent Hanto’s tug o war alliance with Shouma and the Sugar Doctor.

And the more he leans towards Chocold, the more corrupted Hanto will become and the more the Sugar Doctor will have an influential hold on Hanto.

I think, the more Hanto begins to rely on the Chocold, the more distant he'll become of Shouma to the point that he’ll probably cut him off and go solo, only depending on himself and…his Sugar Daddy “drug dealer”, of course.

But that’s my hunch. Just another food for thought from me.

You should be careful being this touchy-feely with each other

Bonus good ending:

[washipink]

Every week, Shouma will be like, "I've never had cake before..." and then we'll see the saddest childhood flashback of him being kicked like a little puppy dog and having to eat gruel

and then back in the present, he goes, "So I've always wanted to try one :D"
