For the conclusion of Supana's arc, it doesn't seem to focus much on his view of Chemies, but on how much he has warmed up to Lachesis. Unless this indirectly solves it by having him put faith in Houtaro, with him being more accepting of his allies, or that the black flame he talks about that brings misery to his parents and Kyoka also extends to Chemies.

Gigist has always tried to mold Supana, and though he was at first surprised by how destroyed he is, he's still proud of what Supana has achieved through Valvarad Kurogane. So Gigist still gets what he wants at death. Valvarad Kurogane seems to display more raw power compared to Rainbow Gotchard and Majade Twilight, and the scanning vision and the arm cannon are Iron Man homage.

Glion is cruel enough to have fake love for Atropos, but now the series wasted Lachesis by using her death just as another cruelty display for him. Though there wouldn't be enough episodes to display Lachesis continuing her human life, tbh. I wonder if Supana would be like Gou to try bringing Lachesis back after the series ends (the opposite that the dying one in Drive is the purple mechanical Rider). Clotho directs her anger at the actually deserving one in Gigist, albeit obviously to show how outclassed she is.

After Gotchard getting praise for no Rider villains (albeit Glion did turn as one temporarily), turns out Glion's becoming one too. El Dorado is also a Chemy, the dark version of Nijigon like Rainbow Dark Dragon to Rainbow Dragon in Yugioh GX. Dunno if this'd mean El Dorado would be the only Chemy Houtaro treats differently.

Houtaro did get some crushing moments before, but now this should be the most emotionally crushing, that his vow to give place for Chemies got openly rejected by the public, albeit there's some resistance in Kajiki, Seina, Sawa, and her father, but it only happened at the penultimate episode for the series. The hate is similar to Gaim's Beat Riders too where the Kamen Rider circle is accused as unleashing monsters.

For more assuring part, this trio demise at the finale reminds me of something Bima related, though perhaps you haven't watched it.

I generally like the direction this show has taken, but I think maybe it was rushed a little, likely due to Legendsiders content taking up 3 episodes after Houtarou's and Clotho's teamup. Gigist's finale has nothing to do with the Chemies he supposedly cares so much about, so he's the most sensible of the original 3 Dark Kings, but the least consistent in his motivation.

Both Gigist and Supana, after the latter's crusade against Chemies before.
