Supana has a vision of his own demise, and becomes engulfed by the black flames!

Lachesis asks Spanner why he doesn't just have his Valvaradriver repaired by Kyouka. Spanner answers @ 01:27 that since the Valvaradriver was based on Houtarou's Gotchar Igniter, he can't be his true self and reach his true potential.

In the scene @ 01:38, by using his portion of the Philosopher's Stone inside his body to transmute a bottle of unknown red liquid, Glion creates a clone of Nijigon RCC called Eldragon RCC. He says that he now possesses a replacement of Nijigon's 1% portion of the Stone. Does this mean that Gigist is also able to create a replacement of Nijigon's 1% portion? When does Glion possess this ability? Does he possess this ability only after he absorbed Gaelya's 33%/2 portion or before it, right after he absorbed Germain's 33% portion? Don't know! And, if Glion, now a member of the Unholy Trinity, is able to create a replacement of Nijigon's 1% portion, then does it mean that the Nijigon egg itself (which contains 1% portion of the Philosopher's Stone) was created by the Unholy Trinity? Don't know! Messing up with the internal rules/logic until the very last episode will only make your story convoluted and confuse your viewers.

Rinne is about to henshin @ 03:55, and then she's just realized that her Ring's power is depleted and prevents from transforming. Why is only her Ring that's often depleted during crucial moments? Why aren't Houtarou's, Spanner's, and Minato's Rings depleted and need to be recharged as well? Don't know! This could be another sign that Rinne being a Rider was very likely never planned during the pre-production phase. The conflict between alchemists and Muggles is nice, but it should've been done since a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, not during the last 5 episodes. I think this is another aspect where the memory manipulation spell is the most detrimental to the story. Sawa and her dad, Kajiki, and Seina appear out of nowhere to defend Houtarou et al. Your defenders appear at the crime scene right at the moment when your detractors are attacking you. How convenient! Tacchan the Occult Hunter also appears out of nowhere several moments later to add fuel to the fire. Another convenience! Haha.

Gigist is still attempting to sway Spanner to his side. He mentions Spanner's inability to transform and is trying to spice up his offer by saying that Spanner will have the greatest power if Spanner follows him. Spanner, of course, refuses Gigist's offer and chooses to transform into Valvarad, and is defeated quickly several minutes later.

Houtarou et al manage to hide from the angry Muggles. Houtarou then heads to his mom's shop, and finds Glion already waiting for him there. Glion tells Houtarou that his obsession with gold is because gold will beautifully shine forever. Glion thinks that humans' ephemeral existence is nothing compared to gold's eternal beauty. Glion thinks that humans' lives are pointless and wasted on pointless, foolish things that fade away quickly. Glion mentions @ 08:23 that one paltry, insignificant life has vanished. As Houtarou gets angrier at him, Houtarou's mom arrives and interrupts their argument. Whose life that Glion is referring to? My hypothesis is that it's Houtarou's dad's. Houtarou's dad could've been another victim of Glion's past crimes.

Gigist says @ 11:21 that the homunculi's dreams are fake, phony things. The angry Clotho transforms into KR Dread Type 1, attacks him, and gets teleported to a place that looks like a beach. Spanner transforms into Valvarad and tries to fight Gigist again, and gets defeated quickly again. Gigist says @ 12:28 that he's disappointed in Spanner, then engulfs and burns Spanner in his black flame. While being burnt, Spanner is having the usual internal monologue, and finally finds the resolve to use his black flame power to defeat Gigist. He draws the inspirations from his parents, Kyouka, and even Houtarou to transmute the black flame into his own silver flame and uses it to upgrade his Valvaradriver, reforge the Daiohni and Madwheel RCC's, and transforms into KR Valvarad Kurogane. As expected, KR Valvarad Kurogane manages to defeat Gigist. Like I hypothesized last week here, the black flame power doesn't return to Gigist, but it's transmuted into a white/silver flame power by Spanner. What's stupid here is that Gigist actually upgrades Spanner's black flame power when he burns Spanner with his black flame. Gigist actually transfers his black flame power to Spanner when he burns Spanner. I've been asking myself why Gigist is so fixated on Spanner. Now the answer is clear: Because he needs to burn Spanner with his black flame, which means upgrading Spanner's black flame power and giving a final form to KR Valvarad. So, Gigist is ultimately also defeated by his own stupidity. Yep, all 3 members of the Unholy Trinity (Germain, Gaelya, Gigist) have been defeated by their own God-level stupidity. Glion will very likely meet a similar fate in the final episode next week. I'm curious as to what kind of stupid mistake he'll make. I think it'll have something to do with his inability to understand the power of friendship. The Door of Darkness should be rightly called the Door of Dumbness. Congratulations!

Eldragon then comes to pickup Gigist's portion of the Philosopher's Stone. Eldragon is then chased by Houtarou et al, and is finally caught by Lachesis. Aaaannnddd... A 1000% typical Yuuyaism 101 asspull happens: Lachesis is shot in the back @ 18:33, by Glion who appears out of nowhere. How come Glion, an adult man of that height, in an eye-catching black and gold attire, appears out of nowhere in a close proximity in the middle of an open yard without being noticed by anyone? Has he been there all along or does he simply arrive via teleportation? DON'T KNOW! This laughably, hilariously bad asspull is essentially identical to the one in episode 48 last week when Gigist appeared out of nowhere to snatch 50% of Gaelya' portion from Glion. I understand if this asspull was written by Hiroki Uchida, but this episode was written by Keiichi Hasegawa. Very unfortunate. Another weird thing in this scene is Clotho has magically returned to the crime scene @ 18:39 after having been teleported to a beach by Gigist previously @ 11:51. Funny!

In her dying breath, Lachesis is finally telling Spanner that what she wants to do as a human is being in love with him. Now this is how you write a dying scene. This scene is much better than Lachesis' memory reversal process in episode 45 which was only told via infodump, not shown on screen via a flashback scene. At least, Lachesis' dying scene can be a good antidote to the previous asspull scene.

Glion reveals his endgame by showing off his new Eldoradriver, a retooled version of Dreadriver. By using the Eldragon RCC, he transforms into KR Eldo, which looks like an alternate version of KR Dorado who appeared in Gotchard's summer film 3 weeks ago. He then unveils Minato who is about to be completely turned into a golden statue. What's Glion gonna do to Minato? Is he gonna transmute Minato's alchemy power into the giant Dread Troopers as shown in the preview?

I've just realized that there's a stupid thing in the whole Philosopher's Stone arc: Why doesn't Houtarou/Nijigon absorb Gigist's portion in this episode, or Gaelya's portion in episode 48 last week? Isn't it much better if Houtarou/Nijigon absorb Gigist's/Gaelya's portions, rather than letting them fall into Glion's hands? Why do Houtarou/Nijigon let those portions fall into Glion's hands? Is it simply because the plot needs it to happen to create the plot in episode 50/final? DON'T KNOW!

Next week:

Glion's endgame is in full force. The Dread Troopers will be turned into giant kaiju troopers? The Unholy Trinity will be revived? All 101 Chemies will appear on screen all at once? The only thing that will stop Glion's endgame must be the power of friendship between Houtarou and the Chemies. And what about the Repli Chemies? Doesn't Clotho, the current owner of the Dreadriver, still possess several copies of Repli CC's?

And, yep, like what I've been hypothesizing since several weeks ago, the whole convoluted mystery regarding Houtarou's dad will be resolved in episode 50/final. Is Houtarou's dad alive? Is he really travelling the world? Is he missing? Is he dead? Is he the Alchemist of Dawn? Is he Minato? Is he Fuga? Is he Glion? Is he one of Glion's victims? Is he Gigist? Is he Nijigon? Is he Kajiki? Is he Houtarou's mom? Is he Houtarou himself? DON'T KNOW! I think it's one of the worst examples of untied up loose end I've seen in creative writing. I've always wondered who the heck was the writer who had the idea of obscuring Houtarou's dad's face/identity/whereabouts as a plot point, yet has never had the time to actually develop it. It's already 49(!) episodes, and the mystery surrounding Houtarou's dad is still virtually untouched and undeveloped. The one who resolves it is definitely the one who wrote it in the first place. I think I've found the answer: Hiroki Uchida. Maybe I'm just too stupid and slow-thinking to be a "sophisticated" writer like Hiroki Uchida or Yuuya Takahashi, but I'm not sure how anyone can resolve that. I'm bracing myself for the ultimate, cheapest, laziest "Gotcha!" moment in this story that will appear in the final episode. I'm kinda nervous, but at least I'm prepared. Haha.

ngl I COMPLETELY forgot about this plot point right until the scene with Houtarou and Glion in Houtarou's house, I was CERTAIN they'd reveal it then. At this point I don't really care anymore lmao

Well, although the episode followed a predictable path, there were things in it that surprised me. I'll start with purely technical details: KRVK is a chic suit, even despite its one-color design. The swords on the back are a particularly nice part of the design. Also the inscription: "Kurogane" on the driver. A small but very important detail. I'll come back to it when I discuss Spanner. Geryon's costume is also beautiful. Yes, he's a typical evil final boss, but it suits the character and there are a lot of interesting details that make him relatable.
Also, the conflict with civilians continues, despite the victory over Galejah. I wonder if this line will have a place in the huge final battle? It was nice to see more returning actors.
You also need to give credit to Gigist. Unlike other kings, he, if he did not admit that he was wrong, at least justified his defeat. Still, he is the most reasonable of the three.
Geryon decided to remind why he should be the final villain, because he comes to Hotaro’s home, sadistically does not completely turn Minato into a statue and, of course, kills Lachesis. I am sure that this turn of events took many people by surprise, because it seemed that a happy future awaited her. In general, I doubt that even anyone assumed that Clotho would outlive her sisters.
Speaking of Clotho, here she does more and fearlessly rushes at Gigist, but again does not have time. I wonder what role is in store for her in the finale?
Now let's talk about Kurogane. Many believed that their conflict with Hotaro was a conflict between pragmatism and idealism. But this is wrong. They are both idealists and, contrary to Spanner's opinion, he is even more out of touch with reality. Absorbing the power of the 101st Chemies when even Mad Wheel could not control it is not the act of a pragmatist. It’s just that if Hotaro believes in Gotcha, the power of dreams and friendship, as well as the world of people and Chemies, then Spanner believes in himself.
During Geats, someone wrote to me that Ace was a braggart. I then replied that I did not see this trait in him. But in Spanner I see it perfectly. Remember how many times he mentioned his A-rank. Therefore, Spanner cannot accept Houtarou's position despite his many successes.
Because then Valvarad will not fight alongside Gotchard, but under his command. At least in Spanner's eyes. Even the igniter-based driver was burdensome for him, as he expressed in the same episode. That’s why Kurogane always went into conflict, because in every situation it was important for him to defend his opinion. Even if it is wrong, his Kurogane will fight to the end. This is his parallel with Gigist, who believed that he understood the essence of people simply by recognizing their desires. They both put their opinions above those of others, only Gigist did not recognize boundaries at all.
Therefore, to win, Spanner had to accept the only thing in himself that he considered bad and shameful: the Black Flame. And having done this, he received a development that so impressed Gigist. But this is still not enough to defeat Geryon, because everyone in Eldorado shines. And silver is weaker than gold.
P.S. Well, there's less than a week left until the finals. It's time to take out the flask and prepare a review of the entire show.
P.P.S. I also think that this scene discouraged calling Gotchard a light show. At a minimum, this place is somewhere in the twilight.

I still think this role is reserved for Hasegawa's cameo. He was able to play a drunkard and Humagear, so he can also cope with the role of a prodigal dad.

The second to last Gotcha!

I might've stopped posting in threads because I just got busy and fell behind on Gotchard because of many different reasons. So instead of digging through a bunch I'll share my thoughts briefly on the final stretch of episodes.

42-43 (Kamedoon Episodes): Can't remember if I ever talked about them but I'll mention briefly that I thought it was a good Sabimaru focus. The dude actually got to confront his trauma head on and managed to break through it thanks to brotherly love. Real good shit. These episodes did not sell me on Geryons' return at all btw.

Dude's strong at moving characters into different positions and helping their arcs, and the actor's giving it his all, but Geryon himself is missing something that makes me consider him a great villain.

44-45 (Kajiki Episodes): While I know officially we start the endgame in the next set, these two do a good job at setting up a lot of stuff that'll be present for it. Focusing on the idea of memories returning and those suppressed memories being bad by way of Kajiki was a smart play. Something I'll also praise about the endgame in general is bringing back characters from earlier in the show to make scenes hit way harder, so them doing a sequel to the Kyoto stuff was genuinely fun to witness.

Also with this episode and 49's kitbash at the end, UFO-X stocks went up greatly. I always believed in you my funky super form!

46-47 (Spanner vs. Houtaro Episodes): While I wasn't sure of Gaelijah at first, these episodes and the next cemented me as one of my favorite villains of the lot we've gotten. There's something more sadistic to her methods than Gigist, Germain, or even Geryon. The idea she basically stacks plans on top of each other and basically decides "Well you want Chemy and Humans to co-exist? Let's try that right now full force" as her main plan is very underhanded. She basically forces the situation to its worst possible conclusion by rushing it out of the gate.

Meanwhile in regards to Riders who usually end up having some kind of big duel against the Primary fairly late in the game, Spanner's one that works. Helps that he isn't really fully going full villain, rather more suicidal martyr, but Houtaro's having none of that. And I love how that's reflected in their fight.

48 (Majade Twilight Debut): I'll admit, while I could still care less for how weird of a presence/character Fuga is I've come around a bit on Geryon because I do think starting with 44 we got some interesting aspects to him. There's some fascinating stuff about how he's a doll that envied another's daughter, made his own in his image but mainly to have his rival despair when the time is right. It's twisted and I think that gives some good depth.

I can kinda see why they held off on Twilight Majade for so long, because it's basically the form brought out by the conclusion of Rinne's and Atropos' relationship. And it'd probably be a bit weird to have that happen way earlier. That said they could've given Majade like... Black Bahamut, like just retool Wind for her (He really didn't need to exist imo and he really didn't need to last this long only to appear twice).

49 (Valvarad Kurogane): I really dig the idea behind Spanner basically evolving his Black Flames into a new form and using that to manifest a new Driver. I've warmed up on Mr. Worldwide Kitbash, though I'm not entirely sold on the design still. That said, between the Iron Man Repulsors and the Sword Impulse Gundam backpack/dual wielding, it makes for a pretty fun debut fight.

Here is also where I say I wish Gigist was just the final boss because I think he'd work perfectly. But also I just... really like the ending they gave him? In comparison to Germain and Gaelijah who went out kicking and screaming, Gigist legit realizes Spanner evolved the Black Flames further than he could, then congratulates and marks Spanner as his successor before he dies. There's something to be said for a villain who is done with everyone (he yeeted Clotho to a beach just to get her out of the way) but will in turn, give respect and props where they are due if the situation arises.

Also them making unique and additional OST for both the Majade and Valvarad new form debuts really helped make them special.

And so we only have one last Gotchard left. While I have my issues (Geryon being the last boss, Fuga in general, some oddities here and there) I've been enjoying the ride thus far and I can't wait to see how we wrap this all up.

Makes sense that Majade's Final Form would deplete more power than SunUnicon or MoonCerberus, like how BatKingrobo's arc reactor blasts quickly depleted Gotchard's power. Regarding the in-universe reason why it happens to Rinne more often than other members of the Kitchen Ichinose Alliance, I guess Spanner's black/silver flame can be used to recharge and Houtarou may get a passive boost from the 1% Philosopher's Stone. Rinne doesn't have any special circumstances like that, she's just a talented and hardworking alchemist and fighter.

Huh, I only saw Dread Type 2 in this scene though. Pretty sure Clotho's never even used Type 1 before.
