And the screenwriter will know what stupid things will be forgiven him, and for which he will be scolded.

This. Finally, someone said it. Truer words have never been spoken. Takahashi's decided to create a hyper-bloated, hyper-contrived story in Geats by putting as much random things into the internal logic of the story, whether by plot twists (or rather, asspulls), multiple instances of violation of internal logic, ad-hoc logic, idiot plots, blatant instances of manipulation, and other methods of contrivance and writing cheats available under the sun, and see how much he can get away with it. Takahashi's goal with Geats is to be remembered as the writer who create a story with the highest degree of plot contrivance.

I'm 1000% convinced that Takahashi can't tell the difference between a complex plot and a contrived plot. He probably thinks that a contrived story is a complex story. 49 episodes later he's proved to be very wrong, and his absurdly hyper-bloated, hyper-contrived story bites him in the hand. You can't complicate the internal logic of a story without it getting more and more absurd. Geats is what happened when the writers are drunk with their own bullshit.

His #1 priority is creating an absurdly hyper-bloated, hyper-contrived, hyper-manipulated plot, without regard to logical consistency, reasoning, or good ole common sense.

I've seen many fans get very nervous about the ending of Geats. Like what happened to Revice, fans can't help but think of the worst and the most absurd ending for Geats. So far, all signs point to you as the one who will have the last word.

I also thought that. I thought Revice was the peak of bad writing. Then Geats came along and Takahashi has proved me wrong. Geats has constantly proved that it has managed to exceed Revice's pure absurdity. I couldn't believe there will exist a Kamen Rider story worse than Revice, let alone right after it! If Revice is 10/100 from writing standpoint, then Geats is 9/100. Geats and Revice are the worst entries in the history of Kamen Rider. The most cynical part in me hopes that Gotchard will turn out to be as bad as Geats and Revice so that Kamen Rider fans may as well get a hat trick of three worst series in a row.

Oh, and Sueru is Gifu v2.0.

I'd like to pose several possibilities of manipulation that Takahashi will probably use in episode 48, 49, or V-Cinext episodes:
- Like I previously stated, Samas is intentionally kept as a loose end by Takahashi. She'll conveniently appear on episode 48 or 49 to backstab Sueru and take his Zillion Driver, like what she did to Niram, and then become the final villain of the series.
- Samas will be let loose, even after episode 49, and she'll become the main villain or side villain of V-Cinext episodes.
- Sueru will be revealed as Ace's doppelganger.
- Sueru will be revealed as Ace's dad.
- Or the combination of two previous points: Sueru will be revealed as Ace's dad who has an identical face as his.
- Girori is rumored to reappear on episode 48 or 49. He'll probably be the one who backstab Sueru, take his Zillion Driver, and become the final villain of the series. Samas will be let loose to become the villain of V-Cinext episodes.
- Black Tsumuri will backstab Sueru, take his Zillion Driver, become a new Rider and the final villain of the series. Or Sueru will simply give her a new Driver and or new Raise Buckle. Because, why not? Never let an absurd story go to waste.
- Geats IX will defeat Sueru. Then, as a last-ditch effort, Sueru will absorb Black Tsumuri and manage to overwhelm Geats IX. Then White Tsumuri will sacrifice herself (due to episode 48 is titled "Creation X: Tsumuri's Requiem!"), and through the power of friendship, manage to combine the happiness of all humans and Jyamato in the virtual worlds into a final-episode-exclusive Raise Buckle that is more powerful than Geats IX, and then Geats will use it to defeat Sueru once and for all.
- The scene where White Tsumuri's pointing her gun at Ace is a red herring. She's probably Black Tsumuri who disguises herself as the White one. Takahashi is desperate to incorporate a provocative scene in OP into the actual story, like what he did in Zero-One.
- The story will end on episode 48, and episode 49 will be an epilogue episode where Ace as God (with capital G) creates a new world (completely separated from the real world/Sueru's world) where humans and Jyamato live harmoniously. Or, Ace will create a whole new world as a habitat for Jyamato. Gotchard will probably make a cameo in this episode.
- And so on. You can put anything absurd into Geats because the premise of the story itself is absurdly absurd in the first place.
