Feels a bit lazy i think, ripping wholesale from kamen rider OOOZ with that

The changes I can see is one thing the clones got a rainbow duel scarf all of gotchard chemmie forms didn't have that before

ops somehow double posted

They also have rainbow colored compound eyes instead of orange ones, but still kind of repetitive.

for a power that is suppose to be apex of alchemy the whole rainbow clones feels so boring

I agree but the thing is I can't think of anything else they could do with the other Chemies for this form, Super Gotchard used the Level Number 10 Chemies, Fire Gotchard gave previous forms a power boost, Iron Gotchard focused on one Chemy being powered-up and using other Chemies as attacks, and Platina Gotchard used two powered-up Chemies and harnessed Chemies and focused them on certain body parts to fight. I think they could've evolved the Chemies being focused to certain body parts thing to the point of having body attachments based on Chemies, similar to the BIRTH claws or Valvarad Customs. There could be a sword arm for Apparebushido, A set of wings for Hawkstar and so on. Having the idea of the malgams forcing multiple Chemies together, but purified through Rainbow Gotchard.

Well they could do what the show is about alchemy, maybe unlike Platina which simple combines the powers of the chemmies into parts of the body

Rainbow could enhance their effects and mix them. Like mix hopper,liner apple and skate into one granting new effects


Like Rainbow is badly injured and he uses rainbow to mix multiple chemmies to heal himself. Now this effect would a once per combat thing

See that's the thing though, Rainbow Gotchard isn't like the apex of alchemy. It's a form created via the wish for a bright future for everyone. It's a form that's able to wash away the darkness of malice within Chemy and even breathe life back into those that had been withered. Like this form is Houtaro through and through and Gotcha Brothers (official name the prod blog gave lol) is likely him getting to fight alongside his Chemy friends once all 101 are collected which is super fitting.

The sudden burst of him utilizing alchemy in the form is likely the form boosting his power output while he himself puts his experience as a chef to use in manifesting that ability.

and that's another reason why I hate this rainbow gotchard form

It has zero meaning with the idea of alchemy. The point of a final form its suppose be the climax of all the themes of kamen rider season its in

Geats final form was the apex of his god powers and fox themeing

Saber(even I hate it) brought together the once divided knights and wrote a new story

Revice human and demno stand together in union as one and are equal

Zero one creating new technology to surpass the zero one gear

and the other seasons as well

Rainbow fits no where in what its themes are about and it doesn't help how the form is so gaudy and watching the ep of rainbow gotchard its clear the suit actor is trying as little move around in the suit, in fear of tearing the sides and shoulder pads

Rainbow is a bad final form and shouldn't be the final form platina makes far more sense as a final form.

Also Foruze which I love did the Gotchard friendship and bright future theme BETTER

As Fourze was about space and friendship creating a better future, hell in lore the MC becomes a teacher in order to brighten the new gen of kids lives THAT IS BEYOND PERFECT and its part of its theme

I do agree that it isn't great. It feels like Nijigon was almost pulled out of nowhere and it kinda is weird that every other form has been a variation of SteamHopper and now the pattern is broken. I think its cool that the form represents his friendship with the Chemies, but the thing is we didn't see a lot of friendship with the chemies, we saw a few like Hopper1, Saboneedle, Apparebushido, Wrestler G, Golddash, and a few more. But there were not that many that we saw making the resolution feel not as impactful.

I'm fine with the idea of friendship with the chemies but that's not the theme of gotchard


The themes are Alchemy and Cards and yet we don't get much in terms of alchemy

Rather we get magic disguise as alchemy to be honest feels like the show runners don't know what alchemy is

The only times we seen alchemy really used is like what four five times the main being the goggles used to make the attachment piece


Also as you saw Hotro never was friends with every chemies he was friends with a select few the two X ones that's it. Then we got the weird ass dragon who just comes out of left field

Whats the meaning behind him he's the reason why Hotro can use alchemy why, why is he the reason what makes him that special when alchemy isn't special

but somehow HIS ALCHEMY IS THE MOST SPECIAL

Gotchard is a mess of a story and like I said IT IS just the writers tossing darts at board blindly to see what sticks.

We got three very different style of writers and one of them is brand new and the other barely done much

Overall Gotchard is like messy stew it has no real identity, rather its a mimic trying to be everything
