Is this Rinne's suit? If so, she's got style!

I believe the text confirms this is indeed Rinne.


Great looking suit. Honestly, the female Riders of the Reiwa Era have all had great style.

I love how she has heels.

I was about to say, that's exactly what I'm getting at here, and I'm all for it!

The suit looks great, maybe a little similar to some previous female Riders (primarily Jeanne), but I still love how it looks!

Official tweets for Majade are out. They do state her as the first female secondary rider.

That's a great suit and an official recognized first secondary female Rider is huge.

Here's more info on the belt for those curious:

https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2189860/

It's an attachment to the Gotchardriver, not a standalone belt, but it comes with a ring that the toy can read.

Includes cards too, the ones making up the transformation seem to be "Unicon" and "The Sun", which makes sense looking at the suit.

In my adaptations, she isn't the first female secondary. Gatack is.

I'm glad to see Rinne become a Rider, especially becoming the official secondary. Reiwa has been doing a pretty good job of having more prominent female Riders than Heisei. The only complaint I have is that I do wish Bandai could make the attachment a regular retail release rather than P-Bandai, but I suppose she did make out better than Tycoon with his ID core only being a campaign item. It looks like she'll be using the Cosmic and Fantastic cards, so hopefully she'll have more than one form.

I love the design, the colors all work off each other really well. I like the emphasis on the Alchemist Ring being what activates the stuff on the driver, her whole thing up till now is has been about her alchemy abilities, so the ring being prominent hopefully implies she doesn't just forget she has that skill set just cuz now she can more safely punch a Malgam in the face.

I also dig how all our riders (so far) this season have been designated "Riders" cuz they wear scarves. That's how you know Valvarad isn't one yet :lol

They oddly don't show it off it, but the Alchemist attachment does come with a lvl 1 and 9 RCC, so she should have a second form in the works.

I called it! :D

So, unlike the rumor, turns out Rinne doesn't use Ninetail to henshin and she uses 2 cards like Gotchard. I can totally see the motif from Unicon in there, while Sun is more abstract. Cool to see our first Cosmic and Fantastic cards as well, excluding Repli variants. Not sure about the name Majade though, as the "jade" part implies a green-blue color, but she's orange and white instead. Hmm, what could it mean?

Narratively, I'm confused why she uses the GotcharDriver with an attachment. I recall the GotcharDriver is supposed to be an extremely unique and important item, which is why the Dark Sisters want it so badly. Now there's 2?! Curious how they explain this. Definitely glad that Rinne is our confirmed upcoming Secondary Rider though, not that cliche edgy Spanner. Rinne was promoted as an equal protagonist to Houtarou, so she deserves this.

Majade as a suit looks really nice, and I love the look of the Cosmic and Fantastic cards, they really stand out while maintaining the Chemy style.

Shame that Majade had to be given to the worst character in the show. Really any other character at this point would have been a lot better pick, as every time Rinne is on screen she is a soggy old mop in terms of personality.

Really hope we get to see all of the Fantastic/Cosmic combos for Gotchard in concept art if not in-show.

Speaking of Gotchard forms, there is supposedly an upcoming form that I thought was supposed to utilize Unicon as well as include Unicon as a DX card release. Maybe a different version of Unicon will be included?

I saw people debating constantly online whether she should be counted as the Secondary or a Tertiary but not only is she the official Secondary she's the first female Secondary!

Does anyone have an idea what Majade's name means?

Also apparently she debuts in the Winter Movie?

She did in the collab film yesterday, though I'm not sure whether it was an actual debut story-wise, or whether she merely transformed. It means that the proper debut could be in the series in the next 1 or 2 episodes, at the very latest in episode 18 on January 7th. So, she could be the New Year's Rider, like Woz was.

Rinne transforming with a Gotchardriver also creates several questions:
- Does it mean that the Gotchardriver is not a one-of-a-kind item that can't be replicated? Does it mean the AU is finally able to copy the Gotchardriver? The Alchemis Unit is definitely made by the AU, so this hypothesis is highly possible. If so, ten Spanner could be another user of Gotchardriver as well.
- Or does it mean that there has been another copy of the Gotchardriver (created by whoever the creator was) that has never been exposed all this time? And somehow Rinne and or the AU will acquire it in the next several episodes. It's still unknown who Fuga stole the Gotchardriver from. If this is true, then this could create more mysteries surrounding the Gotchardriver.
- Or does it mean that Houtarou will somehow be injured or unable to transform and lend the Gotchardriver to Rinne? I doubt it, but if true, then this could be an homage to the original Kamen Rider series when Takeshi Hongo was replaced by Hayato Ichimonji for several episodes because Hiroshi Fujioka was injured during a bike stunt.

I think everyone's forgetting that this is labeled the Alchemisdriver and not the Alchemis unit. Drivers in shows are weird compared to the toyline, as Zero One had every attachment to the Zero One Driver act as a completely separate system all together.

There is no 'secondary Gotchard Driver' in terms of the storyline, this is a competely new thing with a competely different system.

It's kind of funny how setting aside Dread we were on track for the usual period in early Phase 2 Heisei where the Secondary gets introduced around the 2nd quarter and after first being teased in the Movie War.

Maybe this new gotcha driver will be created by a one of the cheimes, like this will be a one in a time this happens.

Still wonder what Majade and Valvarad’s names mean?

Gotchard is just “gotcha” and “card”.

Real questions

Fire Gotchard thanks to the GotcharIgniter.

Majade = majestic(?)/magic(?) + jade(?)
Valvarad = valve(?) + apparat (German word for tool/device/apparatus)(?)

And Valvard's official Kamen Rider form?

Several clearer photos of DX Gotchar Igniter:

Valvarad's Rider Form will be fittingly called Kamen Rider Valvarad, haha. I guess my first hypothesis regarding the Gotchardriver here is probably correct. KR Valvarad looks nice, although I prefer a brand new design, rather than an extension of Valvarad's design. Not a fan of Fire Gotchard, though. It seems like the Gotchar Igniter has its own face display that features KR Valvarad's face.

If the DX toys are already shipped this early and KR Majade had appeared in the winter collab film 2 days ago, then Rinne and Spanner will probably debut in the same episode or two consecutive episodes in the next 1 to 3 episodes. Strangely, Bandai's website is still not updated. Dang, this product shipping is so out of the blue. No one saw this coming.

This is kind of giving me Drive vibes where we get a white Secondary and the "rival" becomes a Rider and the official tertiary.

Both of those forms look super nice. I'm glad that Valvarad's basic aesthetic is still the same, just more "Rider-like".

Fire Gotchard is pretty cool. Love the flame design and the engine parts integrated throughout the chest.

Valvarad is stellar. It literally took all the best parts of the regular design and amplified them. Absolutely stoked to see it in-show.

Also something super interesting about Valvarad: He has a unique way of combining cards. It's a little hard to see, but on the box there is an optional form from Gutshovel and Jyamatoorochi (Both Level 8 Cards). I am not 100% certain, but if Machwheel is Level 6, then it seems that he can combine any two of the Vehicle and Occult categories of the same level.

So we already have MachWheel + DaiOni and Gutshovel +Jyamatoorochi, but in theory we could also get:

Spicle + Cairy

Skebows + Berosol

Hiikescue + Sayzombie

Gekiocopter + Angelead

Deepmariner + Zukyumpire

Mackraken + Golddash

Steamliner + Ninetail

Exceedfighter + UFO-X

Pretty cool that he has his own selection of combos. Maybe we'll get some either in-show or at least in art form.

Machwheel is a unique card that has an ex value like legend, you're thinking of MADwheel, valvarad's base form card. Confusing

Yes, very confusing

Visual for the next arc of Gotchard

To coincide, a new version of ChemyxStory will be playing, featuring J-rock band Flow

Now it's clear that Rinne's Rider debut, story-wise, was also 2 days ago in the winter collab film. Time to go to theater. So, she's actually a Christmas Rider, not a New Year Rider, haha. Now it's also clear why DX Gotchar Igniter toys appear in stores without announcement. And Bandai website is still not updated.

The orange Gotchard in the back is a new rider called Gotchard Daybreak, the strongest rider
https://i.imgur.com/DjtsATi.jpg

So I guess Legend gets to join the season proper. VERY interesting.


I'm really liking Gotchard at the moment.

Gotchard Daybreak!

They don't usually do new visual for new arcs (that I've seen) or a new version of the OP!

Is Legend finally going to show up in the main show?

Holy shit daybreak looks so MUCH FUCKING COOLER like holy hell, the color patterns match gotchard theme more. xD

Gotchard Daybreak's driver has red instead of orange:

Flow?
JIBUN WOOOOOOOOOO

Assuming they're gonna make it P-bandai, I might actually be tempted to get this cuz I wasn't initially interested enough to grab the base Gotchard driver

People seemed to be overlooking the fact that we're getting an official English version of ChemyxStory.
