Since when Kamen Rider Gotchard has become an anniversary show? Since KR Legend appeared, apparently. It's just a bad narrative move.

The problem with KR Gotchard is that the side content (KR Legend spin-off) is infecting the main storyline. And the bigger problem is that KR Gotchard's main storyline is not only infected by KR Legend, but also by the crappiest of the crappiest of the crappiest side contents: KR Outsiders.

Main content should be left as main content. Side content should be left as side content. Canon stories should be left as canon stories. Non-canon stories should be left as non-canon stories. Regular series should be left as regular series. Anniversary series should be left as anniversary series. Abruptly transforming a regular series into an anniversary series just to advertise a new toy is one of the weirdest decisions I've ever seen in TV production.

Let's hope that this Legend "arc" is just a 2-parter filler episodes that began in episode 32 and ends in episode 33. If it continues for several more episodes, then Gotchard's story is definitely screwed up by the producers/writers themselves.



You came to a thread about the newest series to trash it and curse at it without elaborating your reasoning. You even trashed other people who were talking about the newest series. You must be a Geats/Yuuya cultist.

WOW lol I did not “trash and curse at it” are you high? I said you guys have nerves of steel to make it through this muddle of a series, which most fandom agrees it is. Sorry if you don’t like my opinions, kinda funny to me.
I stand by my statement and do not have to explain to anyone why I dislike a kids show.
And the show sucks so bad they are struggling to keep interest afloat

Well thanks for calling me a TROOPER and all, but nevertheless, if you quit after Episode 5, then why do you even bother posting in these threads to talk trash about a show you're not qualified to judge? You defend your opinion by saying most of the fandom agrees that it sucks, which means you're on a bandwagon, while the rest of us are using critical thinking to decide whether or not Gotchard is worth our time. Feels like you're just wasting yours.

I'll admit it: Gotchard is probably the most I've consistently enjoyed a Kamen Rider show since at least the back half of Saber. It's not like the second coming of W or something, in terms of quality, but I'm having a lot more fun with it than I ever did with Revice or Geats.

I said that because your comments on Gotchard so far have provided no positive impact on the betterment of this series. Your comments are merely a way for you to channel your cynicism. You look like you're treating Gotchard as your emotional punching bag. If being seen by people as a cynic is your style, then it's your choice. If I were you, I'd rather be be seen as someone who contribute something useful for the betterment of my favorite toku franchise.

Person A: "Hey, B! You suck!"
Person B: "Okay."
Person A: "You suck, B!"
Person B: "Fine."
Person A: "Hey, B! You know what? You totally suck!"
Person B: "Alright. Have a nice day."
Person A: "You just suck, B!"
Person B: "Why?"
Person A: "I have no reason to tell you why! You just suck, B!"
Person B: "Ummm... Okay."
Person A: "You suck, B! And you'll always suck!"
Person B: "Ummm... Can you please tell me why I suck and point at what I'm doing wrong? Can you please tell me how I can improve myself?"
Person A: "I have no obligation to tell you why! Because you're no one to me! I just want to say that you totally, completely suck, B! B stands for Boooooo!!!"
Person B: "???"

If you said that you only watched until episode 5, then how could you conclude that your opinion 28 weeks ago still hold any water today? If your excuse for not explaining your opinions was because Gotchard is just a kids' show that didn't deserve your further attention nor deeper thoughts, then why did you even bother to post several times in Gotchard's threads in the first place? Why do you even watch toku (and probably also collect toku figures/toys) in the first place? Very weird reasoning. "I'm not good at elaborating my thoughts" or "I don't have time to type lengthy comments" are much better excuses.

My being able to watch Gotchard means I have the nerve of steel? Maybe you're right, because watching every single episode of the series (and side contents!) of Ghost, Build, Zero-One, Revice and (God forbid) Geats have granted me the nerve of diamond, haha.

Crossover/multiverse time (haven't watched Outsiders yet), albeit there's some progression in main story like Lachesis' deal.

The main focus is the fight for Legend Kamen Riser, Kaguya's superweapon, which is being hunted by the Hundreds, led by Alpha. Alpha's appearance reminds me of Woz due to the hair and multiverse theme. The Hundred's Kasshin army appears tougher than the usual mooks, although they don't perform any better

Lachesis and the other Dark Sisters are homunculi, similar to Malice Dolls. The others, particularly Kyoka, wish to turn Lachesis into a human, to give her hopes and dreams, using a creepy-sounding approach to check every part of her. This also reminds me of Daishinji checking on Yuri.

Though if making her human is meant to tame Lachesis and turn them good, human traits aren't always good, something like hurting, killing, or violating are also being human even if horrific one. Being good isn't about which species, but about good actions, homunculi rights can be advocated like Chemies. For now Lachesis still looks down on goodness like Rinne's vow to help Atropos.

It's expected that despite Clotho's hostility, Houtaro consistently helped and showed concern for her, as traditional heroes, which main Riders usually are, would strive to help anyone. He also tried to reach out to her. Houtaro's clearly less refined in fighting compared to Clotho, although he can at least dodge, and his arm seems fine when Clotho kicks it at the end.

Clotho cannot handle the power of Dread Type 3 like the human Geryon could, while Lachesis speculates that their lack of humanity is a limit to their personal development as well. Kyoka therefore enthusiastically volunteers to, uh, examine Lachesis' body, in order to find a way to turn the Dark Sisters human. Kudos to Rinne (haha, get it?), since even after the recent attempt to ruin her life once more, she still wants to help Atropos. If only Atropos can be convinced to see the error of her ways, then the Dark Sisters can finally be reunited and not have to live in fear or loneliness all the time. Even Spanner seems pretty supportive of this plan, despite his protest from before about trusting the Dark Sisters.

If you're into this as well as giving a benefit of the doubt for Hijiri's older brother (which I disagree) then what differentiates villains' harming (including Clotho above for kicking Houtaro's arm) to something like Tacchan breaking up with Yua? That he doesn't deserve a second chance where you'd think otherwise for the Dark Sisters? Where regarding consequences, if their opponents are too lenient on the villains it'd make them free from consequences and doesn't actually give justice/fairness that they pretty much get away scot free (moreso if they redeemed) and are being 'spoiled' for still receiving all help and love without having to make an effort to rightfully earn it.

Tatchan's apology to Yua was totally insincere and showed that he had no respect for her. He dumped her when he got bored and then expected her to take him back just by asking politely, like, no way, that dude needed a reality check. Yua doesn't owe him anything anymore and his only hope now is that he can learn to treat his next gf better. Furthermore, this is the same guy who put pressure on Manabe to change his dinosaur story in the X-Rex arc, so he's not exactly a nice person.

The Dark Sisters actually have redeeming qualities. Lachesis being the most obvious example, since she helped the Kitchen Ichinose Alliance to get in to Ouroboros World to confront Geryon in Episode 27 and she continues to be an asset to Kyoka's research and in combat as the new Valvarad. Even Clotho's kick can be considered a sign of rival respect, since Houtarou is strong enough to take it and Clotho talks more highly of Houtarou in a future interaction with Gigist. Like you said, Atropos is the most callous of the three, but I'll believe in Rinne's judgment that she can also be made to see the error of her ways.

I'd think regardless if the apology is sincere many people think they still don't deserve a second chance because no matter how much they've changed or try to make up for it the damage is already done and they have to live up with it rather than getting a slap on the wrist. So sincere or insincere, to many it's no different, the main thing is how the misdeed is never undone.
