Oh right, don't think it's been mentioned yet.

But apparently an SFX Artist mentioned that Majade and Valvarad's upgrades are coming soon. So that's fun to potentially wonder about.

I also think I remember hearing rumors that Koichi Sakamoto was returning for Episode 41? Considering 40 will likely start a new director like they usually do, I can see Sakamoto doing 40 to 41. Rumors circling that is there's also going to be a Kamen Rider Girls song and the group'll be making an appearance sometime soon as well?

Curious to see if it'll coincide with the rumored upgrades.

Honestly... it kinda is though.

Remember, 2nd episode of the show was about Houtaro getting a FMA-esque task of making two RCC weigh the same. And Houtaro succeeds by completely ignoring/side-stepping that idea, and just begging the two Chemies involved to change their diets.

I guess one way to look at it is the way how Hotaro's approach is shaking up the existing concepts and conventions of alchemy within the show, hate it or love it, is some next level alchemy, his bond and friendship with the Chemies being just that. Let's not forget, this is the study of turning one thing into another, but that's just my two cents.

You can go read the Production Blogs and see the producers talk about how their intended theme for Gotchard is people's bonds and friendships and that is very much what the Rainbow Gotchard episode is about (Both Rinne's despair and decision to fight are related to her bonds with the other students, Houtarou and Nijigon pulling each other out of the depths to fight as one). Alchemy isn't a theme, its a motif, which Rainbow Gotchard arguably uses for the first time considering Houtarou has been otherwise running purely on Chemies for the entire season.

I hope Kamen Rider Girls come back, first the return of RIDER CHIPS and now Kamen Rider Girls? That's really exciting

First was the return of Beverly, followed by Chips and now KR Girls. Surely Gotchard is going to have one the best soundtracks.

I am betting now that the Kamen Rider Girls song will either be Majade's final form theme or the movie's theme

Is Gotchard Daybreak gonna be the antagonist movie rider or will expect a new movie rider for Gotchard to fight?

There's a rumor that there is a new belt that will be released that will be a repaint of the dread driver with new gold stuff added. I don't know if it is for the movie or the show but if it's for the movie, I'm guessing Geryon will be the movie villain. I highly doubt that Gotchard Daybreak would be the villain because he is a hero and not a villain.

its most likely for the daybreak special
