I'm not knocking it, it's definitely my own personal thing, but I must admit I'm getting a little burnt out from all the references and callbacks to other riders. We're at a point in the 40-year-old franchise where you can't do anything without it being a reference to something else. The lore is just that deep.
Pirate > has a hook on a hand > lets make it about Riderman. Does someone in the show drive a stylized car? make it a tribute to Drive! Its alright for anniversary seasons, but again, we're at a point where every year is a 5 or 10 or 15 year anniversary for something else and it must be referenced. Anyway, I love trains so I'm excited but I hope they don't over do the Den-O references.

To be fair, Blazar seems to be quite aloof so far. But back to the riders, if Gotchard is similar to Blade in that he's sort of built from pieces from 4 previous shows, then he should be followed by a Reiwa version of Hibiki to fill the desire for originality.

So are Gotchard's forms supposed to reference other Riders?

No, not really. I mean I wouldn’t call steam hopper a reference since so many riders have had the grasshopper motif that it’s just sorta intrinsically tied to the franchise itself & appareskebo is just a samurai, it’d be a stretch to call it a Gaim reference.
