Yeah, it's been confirmed that the True Ending is A: canon, and B: set a year after the events of the show. I believe one of the cast members corroborated Miura's statement on Twitter, or something.
It boggles my mind to see that Western fans are still finding it hard to accept that the film is canon, when fans in Japan have no such hang ups.

I think it's because they've been vague and haven't really said anything until the release about it, that's why fans have been confused and are still confused.

That being said, True Ending makes sense now, a lot of sense, Gemdeus is advertised as the big bad guy they have to beat in that movie, so why should the Gemdeus in this series last more than an episode, why should he be more than just a tease?

It also explains why they constantly keep coming up with ways for Masamune to stay relevant. And finally True Ending doesn't necessarily mean Good Ending like I know a lot of people were saying on my Twitter. If they wanted to say something like that they would say, Ending B or Good End, instead True Ending. Which I'm amazed I didn't think about till now, is basically the extended secret ending you get for doing something or paying.

In this case, think of Asura's Wrath and how it's actual True Ending was locked behind DLC.

oh goodie. A last-minute toy...the Kiriya/Kuroto sound in that gashat is awesome!
and Taiga becomes the next Cronus.

I wonder how they gonna beat Masamune. Looks like main trio seems to have a bit of trouble.

Cronus isn't supposed to be a villain though.

Episode was great. I loved how Kiriya and Kuroto worked together. Next week will be interesting with Taiga. Does this mean he's the true Cronus since he's good? Is this Toei's cheap excuse for an upgrade from Snipe's Lv. 50?

I'm not ready for Ex-Aid to end... :(

I really curious to Taiga as Cronus and his power. Maybe Taiga as Cronus didn't have time manipulation abilities but I think Taiga as Cronus will be immune to Masamune's time manipulation abilities......

Who know if Taiga as Cronus has hidden ability via Critical Strike slot....

At the very least, it looks like he can summon all the Gashacon weapons.

I caught with Ex-Aid and man am I loving this show even more. I love seeing Lazer vs Genm. Also Ex-Aid and Para-DX together is amazing. =)

I really want he can use two different weapon like Gashacon Magnum with Gashanon Sword.

Hmm...in episode 43, two Kamen Rider Chronicle Gashat used by Taiga in his Gamer Driver. Since Taiga as Cronus using Gamer Driver, I think he can use other Gashat and access other form. Example: Cronus Combat Chronicle Gamer, Cronus Sport Chronicle Gamer, Cronus Robot Chronicle Gamer, etc..
