Very cool. Given that there are 9 forms, and Gotchard is clearly obsessed with 10, the 10th will be a power-up.
As for the two costumes shown: the red one is prettier, but also... more banal? In the trailer, he seemed to me a couple of times either Fourze or Drive. But everything needs to be seen in motion. |

Slightly off topic, but it struck me that the scenes in the dark in Shin Kamen Rider were worse than in Faiz. I hope this is a shortcoming of Anno's directing, and not of the current era.

Imo my point still stands that these seem to be the most distinct full basic form changes we've had in a long time, if not ever (I do think it's clever that they seem to be recontextuilizing what the fire is for different forms, this time it resembles the monster body for the skateboard card) Anyways, even with all that stuff getting kept between forms I'd say a good 91% of rhe armour is different between the two forms we've seen so far, and that's wild compared to what we see in other shows (and tbh I think it's better to have a few key details stay to keep the chatacter recognizable between forms, the arrow eyes and scarf will mean the audience will always be able to recognize him as gotchard no matter how much they change the forms) I still think the only "recent" (it's 6 years old omg) rider series to maybe have such drastically different armour between base forms is build, but I still think mix-and-match riders are kind of their own beast where things are just handled differently, so I think it's a bit of an apples and oranges there |

Taka from Kotetsu Toys Japan Secret Base has already shared his impressions of Geats' film, including Gotchard's debut:
Summing up what I've heard: 1) Hotaro is similar in personality to a mixture of Gentaro and Sougo (I guessed it!); 2) Alchemy is an important part of his personality (here Sh Ranger guessed); 3) In character and fighting style, he is also similar to Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist (Henshinzero assumed it); 4) Although Geats uses the Gotchard card, in the actual movie the new rider will only face Keilow. So in the crossover, he and Ace will get to know each other from scratch. Last edited by Mesnick; 07-28-2023 at 08:13 AM.. |

Some notes about the Gotchard Scene from the Geats movie, pieced together from a few different sources
Quote:
Gotchard enters the scene in the form of a talking cgi pirate ship
Gotchard arrives where Keilow (old man owl rider from Geats) and some Jamato are. Gotchard thinks Keilow is the enemy at first and nearly beats him up instead of the Jamato, until his Hopper explained that it wants to save Keilow. So Gotchard transforms into STEAM HOPPER to fight the Jamato. The Hopper Chemy comes out of their card to fight alongside Gotchard. There's a fight and, then the cameo scene ends. General notes: - Gotchard sounds like a young man - Gotchard mentions an "ojiisan" ("old man") at one point [The provided description makes it unclear if this is referencing Keilow or an upcoming chatacter from Gotchard] - Gotchard posseses alchemy powers, such as turning the floor into water, and turning metal into vines that trap enemies - Gotchard's steam kick releases steam before doing an instant flash kick - Gotchard gives Keilow a blank card - Gotchard's personality resembles Gentarou (Fourze) and Sougo (Zi-O) - Gotchard's fighting style evokes Full Metal Alchemist (Specifically Edward) - They say they can't let the Hopper Chemy near "bad people" - Hopper Chemy says its own name "hopper" like it's a pokemon [Varius discriptions make it seem like it can communicate in some way as well so unclear if it can also talk normally or not] Last edited by TheJaz; 07-28-2023 at 09:43 AM.. |

Looks like Gotchard will turn out to be a "Pokemon" catcher rider. I wonder how many of the Chemys will be active off the map?

AppareSkateboard looks like Don Momotarou. Yo, Nippon ichi!

Looks like I was wrong about white cards being consumables, as I wouldn't recommend anybody eating their smartphones. They're hard and the batteries contain poisonous chemicals. So, I guess white cards are more like basic inventory stuff in general, right? Like stuff people carry around, in contrast to purple vehicles which carry people around. Quote:
I think it would've been cool if each card had 2 different half-faces, but then people would have to actively think about which side of the GotcharDriver they need to insert it, so I guess I can understand why Toei opted for a simpler gimmick.

GX was written by Junki Takegami, who many may know for writing: Megaranger, GoGo-V, Gaoranver, and Go-Onger He was also a recurring writer on Tiga-Dyna-Gaia [TDG] era Ultraman, with a lot of great episodes under his belt. He also head wrote "Ultraman Neos" which Elemental Hero Neos is named after in GX fun fact (Also Chazz Priceton's Japanese name is pronounced Jun Manjome which is also possibly an ultra reference to the main character of Ultra Q.... also named Jun Manjome lol) So would have been fun to see the toku writer who made a card game anime with toku references, write a toku with card game references Still I'm excited to see Hasagawa and Hiroki's take on the series for Gotchard Last edited by TheJaz; 07-28-2023 at 12:25 PM.. |

I think limiting the form options makes sense in the context of the show's lore. In chemistry, and therefore in alchemy, not all substances, when mixed, give new ones, and something useful is rarely obtained at all. Plus, already from the point of view of the plot, after getting a super-form, the basic options quickly become unnecessary, otherwise at least there is a chance to see them all. Besides, I still hope Gotchard tries to combine the wrong cards and we end up with a creepy deformed rider. |
