New Gotchard toy rumor this time guys, and this time it's that Gotchard's cards will apparently be sold via booster packs (see image for more details).

On the one hand, cheaper gimmick items sound pretty cool, and a lot of cards in a pack (like Deckard did for most of the toyline) makes a lot more value than say, getting only one Vistamp or two Weapon/Legend Rider buckles.

On the other hand, while this is probably legitimate it sounds like they are going for a Trading Card game-esque approach with the cards, but A) the cards do not have any info on the card itself to be a piece in a Trading card game , so I am not sure how that could work, and B) I am pretty sure that any and all cards leaked so far how been confirmed to directly tie to forms (supposedly) that will appear in-show (no attack cards have been leaked so far). Unless there are a variety of attack cards or potentially a lot of forms that will only appear as concept art, it would be odd to sell even say, 10 cards in a pack, let alone blind-packed cards that might mean that a Japanese child really wanting cards to a particular form would potentially only get one card for said form. It would make sense to blind pack them for Gashapon releases though, as that is random anyways, but it sounds like the leaker is speaking about the DX Line.

If this rumor is true, it at least fits in with the rumored gacha aspect of the show. It's pretty funny that the name of the show, and our main rider, could be describing the gimmick. I don't think that has been done before?

… W/Double.

Well that one just describes that there will be a pair of gaia memories for the driver, not accounting single-memory driver like kamen rider joker or kamen rider skull. Perhaps OOO fits better as it tells us that the main rider will use 3 O-shaped thingies for the driver to henshin.

Perhaps I should've worded that a bit better. Yes, Double does describe the gimmick, but if Gotchard stands for gacha + card, that is literally what the toys are, according to this latest rumor.

Maybe instead of gimmick I should have said "henshin trinkets".

Fine then,

Point taken, though it's not as if the show and the rider are called "Kamen Rider Medals". There's of course the angle that the trinkets are called "O Medals", but that's a bit of a chicken and egg situation.

"O-shaped thingies" and "medals" are not the same terms at all. I've never seen a coin or medal described as an "O."

Hibiki means rhythm, and that's used for the finishers.
