I'd assume the name is a cross of gacha and card. Considering The Battle Ganba arcade series exists and got a new installation this year, safe to assume it could play into this if anything.

Personally, I'm really enjoying Geats, and would probably go as far to say that it might be my favorite Reiwa Rider so far. It feels better paced, Ace feels like a nice breath of fresh air from previous protagonists (nothing against them, I personally enjoyed them), and it's just been enjoyable.
I can understand some people not being as big of a fan, and that's fine, I too, hope to see them take a step back and try new ideas. So consider me interested in whatever Gotchard has in store.

Personally, I would like the protagonist to take care of the younger sibling. Of course, Revice was very recent, but I mean they were without parents and the sibling was much younger. If not a preschooler, then at least like Mana in Agito. This will create an interesting contrast with Geats: if one of the shows saved the mother, then the other helps the younger relative. Of course, ideally I wouldn't mind having a father rider, but I don't think Toei would do it.

I also think that rider with a part-time/seasonal would be great for the show's current dynamic, where everyday life just evaporates from the plot before the final battle at the end. But I would also not mind if the action took place entirely in a parallel fantasy dimension, like King-ohgers.
By the way, given that we have a serialized Sentai this year, maybe the rider should become more episodic to counterbalance? |

By the way, plant riders can scare Geats casts, because they can be mistaken for evolved Jamatos. But if Reiva continues the trend of animal protagonists, then I'd like to get a bird this time around.

And just as last year's dinosaur-themed rider didn't really reveal it much, this is where we still need a celebrity rider. By the way, maybe a chard is a misspelled chart?

And taking into account the beginning of the name, all last year's assumptions about the Goths and the Viking rider can be safely "Ctrl + C" / "Ctrl + V" here. I even think Gotchard sounds a bit Scandinavian, or at least like Western European fantasy.

Like other people have mentioned "Gacha" and "Card" seem the most likely. Not entirely sure I like the idea of a gacha gimmick, but it could be fun depending on how they spin it. When I hear gacha and card together, I think about those arcade machines in Japan that have those built-in card dispensing mechanisms so you get something physical out of your money that also gives you gameplay bonuses.

I think we can guess with a relatively high degree of certainty that the new Rider will be Gachapon/Gashapon-themed.
If that's the case, then I imagine a Rider with a Gashapon belt whose form changes are random and out of his control... which could be fun. |
