I mean, Gavv has a much smaller cast than a typical Reiwa series period. This feels like a deliberate throwback to the early Heisei shows where the casts were much smaller and focused. The advanced shooting schedule has also been a net gain in my opinion. There's more care placed into the action, and the best part is that there's no sign of a bullshit retool as a response to low toy sales.

I personally saw the heart issue with Vram Jelly Custom being a weakness to the form's powers, kind of like how most of Gavv's forms have a weakness.

The problem is with the point that we're at, I don't think it would make sense for Lizel to be the final villain nor would it make sense for her to have a brand new belt. And it would also not make sense to add another new half granute half human. I would say maybe Lizel but if not, don't force someone to be a Rider if it wont work for the story, no matter their gender.

It'd be a small miracle but I'm pulling for the Final Boss to not be a Kamen Rider they pull out of nowhere.

Lizel only just showed up and she's alright so far. So that meant due to Siita's death early on, we only had Sachika and Glotta for a while with the latter... kinda just not making many meaningful appearances throughout most of the show until recently. I'm interested in seeing where Glotta goes but like...

Just like her big brother!

The lack of female presence in the show, especially when compared to Gotchard (love it or hate it, that somehow had a more balanced ratio of male to female cast members) and the lack of a female Rider after all these years, I'd definitely push it as a point against this show despite it's mostly solid consistency.

Kind of ironic considering the head writer is a woman, though I'm not sure that necessarily correlates to anything.

Would it be nice if the boy Hajime made a return as he runs away from home due to his parents badmouthing about Shoma & his heroics?

Be nice if Rakia interacted with him about Shoma's situation, even reuniting with Shoma.

Can't imagine his mom would think of going on a witchhunt on Shoma, Hanto & Rakia and getting Hapipare to find her son, thinking they'll harm him. But Sachika would refuse her help as she knows her friends aren't the bad guys, but Stomach Inc. are.

Ooo, good observation.

All I can think is that filming and post-production, like the editing/assembly of the opening sequence would've been different steps taking place at different times. The material that was filmed would've reflected the show's creators' ideas for how the series would progress very early on, and the pieces the opening production team had to work with would've been based on what had been filmed. If the opening was the first thing that got filmed, Rakia might not yet have been cast at that point.

Regardless, the idea that the first half of the opening reflects only early ideas could explain why some of the things the short-term things the opening sequence implies came to pass (Hanto becoming a Rider and developing a good relationship with Shouma and Sachika) while other long-term elements haven't (Sachika potentially as a Rider and a regular progression of the Stomach family dying, etc.)

Do you all see Gavv based off of Fenrir or Garmr as the Stomach siblings are based off of Norse creatures

• Lango: Fafnir
• Glotta: Kraken
• Nyelv: possibly Jormungandr
• Jiip: Hati
• Siita: Skoll

I think if Gavv's design even has an animal inspiration (which it might or it might just be a coincidence), a rabbit would fit better than a wolf. The toed shoes also look like rabbit paws, the crests on his head in Poppin Gummy and especially Over/Master forms look more like rabbit ears than wolf ears, and it fits better with both Shoma's sweet personality and his "bouncy" fighting style.

Gavv's animal motif is a kangaroo; the Gavv being a "pouch" that Shouma gets his minions from.

Jormungandr or Nidhoggr. Both are an possibility right now.

Funny, because Kangol Sport announced limited edition Gavv-themed bags in Japan this year, and one with Faiz before that in 2024.
