A summer movie arc is not that bad compared to this Legend "arc". At least, a summer movie is usually consistent with the internal logic of the series. This Legend "arc", on the other hand, abruptly changed the direction of the show from a regular show to an anniversary show using the pArAlLeL wOrLd trope as a very convenient excuse. Since when Kamen Rider Gotchard has become an anniversary show? Since KR Legend appeared, apparently. It's just a bad narrative move.

The problem with KR Gotchard is that the side content (KR Legend spin-off) is infecting the main storyline. And the bigger problem is that KR Gotchard's main storyline is not only infected by KR Legend, but also by the crappiest of the crappiest of the crappiest side contents: KR Outsiders.

Main content should be left as main content. Side content should be left as side content. Canon stories should be left as canon stories. Non-canon stories should be left as non-canon stories. Regular series should be left as regular series. Anniversary series should be left as anniversary series. Abruptly transforming a regular series into an anniversary series just to advertise a new toy is one of the weirdest decisions I've ever seen in TV production.

Let's hope that this Legend "arc" is just a 2-parter filler episodes that began in episode 32 and ends in episode 33. If it continues for several more episodes, then Gotchard's story is definitely screwed up by the producers/writers themselves.

You came to a thread about the newest series to trash it and curse at it without elaborating your reasoning. You even trashed other people who were talking about the newest series. You must be a Geats/Yuuya cultist.
