On second thought, introducing a Gary Stu is not that bad. It's the blatant asspulls that made me chuckle several times. A Gary Stu is already quite a logic-breaking character, and the writer also added several asspulls? Great, Mr. Uchida! :V It's a good recipe for a total mess of a story.
I don't necessarily mind a Mary Sue if they're the protagonist, like Tendo or Tsukasa, where the story focuses on them and gives me reason to care. According to Minato the producer, Kaguya is supposed to function as a "cultural exchange" for Houtarou. That premise is fine, but it confounds me why Toei are giving special treatment to this tacky golden poser, instead of paying attention to Majade and Valvarad who actually deserve it. They could've done something simple like Shinobi and Quiz in Zi-O.

I'm talking about the parallel world trope in Gotchard that suddenly appeared. There was nothing in the story prior to episode 32 that hinted about it, except the KR Legend spin-off which viewers thought was just another non-canon side contents. There's nothing in the story that can justify its existence.
Well, canon generally relies on linear causality, which doesn't apply to Tsukasa and Ryoutarou, both for different reasons. Tsukasa's perception of canon is whatever world he's passing through at the time, where he gains new abilities as required of his role in that world. Ryoutarou's perception of canon is every timeline he's ever lived in, as being a singularity point means he remembers everything anyway.
Houtarou vaguely remembering the events of the Legend special reminds me of how Tsukasa's photos always come out blurry, which is the irony that Tsukasa's hobby also happens to be the only thing that he admits he sucks at doing. Houtarou doesn't belong to that world, so his memory of it is like those photos. We can also see that Shinji, a regular human, at least has short-term memory of non-canon experience, which is enough to punch Odin.

Since 2009.
Congrats on your 200th post anyway.
