Given the alchemy theme, I wonder if there's a way to transmute iron into platinum that they're trying to represent here

Might be superficial though. Hymeno needs someone who sparkles on both the outside and the inside. Preferably someone who lives on her planet and in her universe, since long distance relationships are difficult enough already.

I guess Iron Gotchard really did have Cast Off

Platinum Gotchard reminds me of Doras.

How much do we know about metallurgy?

Who's to bet Houtaro might become either a Malgam or possibly a Chemy?

My bets for as a Malgam, Houtaro would have a killed Hopper1 turn him into one, when he has deep malice within. His love for Chemies is strong, he'll end up turning into one to take revenge on the alchemists who hurt them.

Hotaro's already technically become a Malgam.

The production site states that Iron Gotchard is closer to Malgam than Rider, the only reason Iron Gotchard is even considered a Rider at this point is because Hotaro has no true malice within him. His bond with Steamliner is also noted as to why Iron Gotchard is still a Rider technically too.

TbH, I wouldn't be surprised if Houtaro IS a chemy. Like, we know there are 101 chemies. We know all 100 (10 of each Lvl for Each of the 10 Classes). Houtaro as a child had been in the Ouroboros Realm, he had been protected by Rinne's dad, just like the other chemies. He lacks malice, which humans inherently have but chemies lack. He is able to communicate with them, and so many more things. I'm Calling it now, Houtaro is the 101st chemy.

That actually sounds cool, good theory! :thumb:

But we already know Chemy #101 is that Cross-Z Dragon-looking guy.

Platinum Gotchard design looks final form worthy...why do they keep going so hard on the Super form designs.

Although I prefer Saber and Geats final forms over there super forms both in terms of design and abilities

What if *dramatic pause* Hotaro goes Kamen Rider Saikou on us? :lolol

Shot in the dark, Hopper 1-on-1 is created in the process of turning CrossHopper back into Hopper1.

huh? Who? Where? did I miss sth?

So like, Hopper1 and Steamliner somehow become a humanoid body for Gotchard and then Dragon-Houtarou attaches to the Driver? Sounds like Chemistry! I think there's more chance of #101 being Dragon-Rinne though, since she's the 9 to Houtarou's 1.

You sure did.

It also has a trick or two of its own:

Wonder what colors would be fitting for Valvarad's Custom Ups?

• Orochishovel: Orange
• Angecopter: Blue
• Maddaioh: Violet/Purple?
• Spikefairy: ?
• Skeborosol: ?
• Rescuezombie: ?
• MarinePire: ?
• Mackradash: ?
• Linertail: ?
• UFOfighter: ?

I can't tell if red should go to Skeborosol or Rescuezombie

Similarly, I bet Tokyuuliner will show up when Steamliner returns to normal.

Ah yes, the unconfirmed leak xD It reminds me more of a kangaroo tbh, and look at that guy again. It literally has Houtaros Glasses that he turned into the Gotchaigniter. Perhaps this is Houtaro's true form. xD

A crazy school spin-off in honor of the release of the first half of the show on Blu-ray:

For some reason, I have a strong association with the Birth special in honor of OOO’s anniversary. I love such things for their lightness, recklessness and the opportunity to watch actors in new roles.

If you have a Rider in a high school setting, have some fun with it!

I just love the Kinpachi Sensei and GTO references. :lolol

I hope we get a miniseries involving the other (Wild) forms, now that we have concept art for all the Gotchard forms, except for powerups

Wonder who?d be a match for Kaixa?

• G3 + Garren
• Knight + Specter
• Ibuki + Brave
• Gatack + Blades
• Zeronos + Vulcan
• IXA + Beast
• Accel + Birth
• Meteor + Cross-Z
• Baron + Mach
• Diend + Geiz
• Live + Evil
• Tycoon + Kekera

I'd imagine Kaixa will be used for a Malgam fusion?

As for dark riders I'd bet?.

• Another Agito + Leangle
• Ouja/Ryuga + Dark Ghost
• Kabuki + Genm
• Dark Kabuto + Calibur
• Nega Den-O + Ark-Zero or Ark-One
• Dark Kiva + Wiseman or Sorcerer
• Dark Decade + Ohma Zi-O
• Bujin Gaim, Yami Gaim or Jam + Dark Drive or Gold Drive

There's also Orga, Eternal, Evol, Vail, Daimon & XGeats.

I think we can narrow it down. If I recall correctly, Faiz matches with Kuuga. If Kaixa card makes the same sound in the gotchardriver...

And what of the dark riders?

Leangle isnt a dark rider, they were mind controlled

im wondering if houtaro is going to temporary die before he becomes rainbow gotchard? since the dragon chemy is the strongest and dragons themselves come from dreams and not to mention he's fused with steamliner and pretty soon hopper 1, i think him being in the afterlife and with steamliner and hopper 1 will be there too will create the last strongest chemy dragon and will resurrect him.

That's what I want to know too! I miss the hero dying and brought back in final form!

With the next episode Preview, Dread goes to Type 2 with Daioni.
With this, I’ve noticed that his forms use cards associated with the main Three Riders.
Steamliner is the base of the main form which is one of Gotchard’s main cards.
Unicon is one of Majade’s cards, while Daioni is used by Valvarad.
Wonder if his final form will be from a card unrelated to anyone else.

It seems Dread is staying as the main villain rider, so i think he's got two more forms left

The next one will be the three combined and the last one, will most likely be some kind of golden like form

given the connection between gold and Legend...
We might end up having more than one villainous rider.

maybe, but not sure how Legend would fit in, he's mostly going to appear for maybe 2 to 4 eps and peace out in the some vain as Daybreak did

im guessing im getting the feeling that legend is just going to be doing his own battles without anyone, since even by poster he's not fighting with the other riders and i think there's going to be fillers with the main cast out of the suit.

feels like kingohger/donbrothers type of writing which i dont mind since it's been battle heavy with main cast.

Looking at Wind’s suit, I saw the feet and it looks like they are from either Rogue or Vice.

I'm just waiting to see if the rumors about the mass-produced Alchemy Drivers happens.

the closest we seem to have is the AlchemisDriver

Takaya Aoyagi of Jugglus Juggler fame confirmed as a guest character for episode 28 of Gotchard! His last appearance in Kamen Rider was episodes 18 and 19 of Kamen Rider Drive. Also, Kiyotaka Taguchi will be directing the episode.

If the rumors of Lachesis getting her own "Rusher" like Valvarad's are true, what would be a fitting type for her? Anything but a vehicle.

Would plants fit her since her Malgam days?
