Vlam looks fine but I think I have the same problem with this as I do the base Gavv design, in that I think it's trying too hard to look "cool" rather than leaning into the inherent silliness of the food concept.

Wait, Valen's new Gochizo is called 'Chocold'. That's just as hilarious as the 'Hanselnuts to Gretel' we got back in Saber.

Also, Dark Valen totally should've had his white chocolate replaced with dark chocolate. just sayin'.

Now that I look at the full suit...it's not too bad. My only caveat is the eyes. I still do not like the visor shape, it really sells the idea that the suit is trying way too hard to look cool.

Valen?s evil costume switch apparently consisted of him taking a black marker to his old costume.

im seriously not understanding the writing for vram like granute lage 9 is already powerful in his granute form, why does he need a rider form?

here would have been a great twist from this episode that sachika gets kidnapped by granutes forces to wear the driver on her and becomes evil and fights the riders instead of some random enemy that we have no clue of what he is.

the writing for this series feels like they are just throwing things out there without putting it together, i dont understand why hanto is so weak in his base rider form like i would think he would just be as powerful as gavv but it feels like he's alot weaker than gavv.

To sell toys.

Hope Vlam goes from bad rider to good rider. Since he's pure Granute he'll be aware of Gavv's hybrid physiology.

Even help him through his situations.

So are those Gochizos that Vlam possesses alive or artificial?

If they’re artificial, would be nice for Gavv to make new versions of them out of real pudding & jelly for him to eat and bring to life for Lage 9 as a means of bringing out the good in him to their side.
