Official photos of Nijigon's "Rainbow category" cards from the Ride Chemy Trading Card: Phase 04 page.
https://www.rider-card.com/images/ca...rd/RT4-023.png https://www.rider-card.com/images/ca...rd/RT4-024.png https://www.rider-card.com/images/ca...rd/RT4-025.png The EX label is usually reserved for film/side content-exclusive items, so could this indicate that Nijigon will appear in Gotchard's summer film and grant him a film-exclusive form or extra final form? The leak several months ago also showed it with EX label. Not sure about the egg card with ??? name. It could be a card for his default, embryonic form before hatching and splitting into the other 2 cards. The egg motif is also present in the Alchemys Union's logo. The artwork of the cards may also contain hints of the kanji 王/ou (king). These cards have the new NR (Nijigon Rare) rarity label. I wonder if they also have the C/Common version. |

Those 3 cards aren't part of the new Rainbow (?) category, which I hypothesize is specifically reserved for Nijigon. The insignias on those 3 cards are normal insignias, different from the new Rainbow category. Their level numbers are also still the same.
I think only their artworks are modified to visually match Nijigon's cards, so, if you insert them into the DX Gotchardriver they'll trigger the same sounds. The rarity type of those 3 cards are "Rainbow Rare", while Nijigon's Rainbow category cards are labeled as "Nijigon Rare". As written in the description box in that page, the Rainbow Rare rarity type consists of 22 cards, which probably made up of 10 level X cards, Steamliner, Hopper1, and 10 other cards, which could have an alternate artworks for the level X cards, while the Nijigon Rare consists of 3 cards, which I doubt will be found complete in 1 pack, haha. Gotcha catch 'em all! So, those 3 cards (and other Rainbow Rare cards and other rare cards) are only available as DX toys, not in the story. What baffles me is Bandai's decision to bundle Nijigon's cards with other Phase:04 cards, not with DX Nijigon. Perhaps they wanted to build early momentum/hype, and later will bundle them again with DX Nijigon, as usual. |

Something else that occurred to me is that the 10 main categories range in frequency from low (Animal/Insect) to high (Vehicle/Occult) just like a rainbow would, with Artifact as wild. Of course, that could simply be for visual distinction, but it's worth thinking about anyway. Notice that Valvarad uses the 2 categories with the highest frequency and this shows in his appearance as well. Spanner dresses in violet, while Valvarad is pink.

Considering a lot of the cards in the Phases have been actually utilized in some capacity in the show, I wouldn't be surprised if the Rainbow Rare Variants of Chemies are featured in some way in the show.
Especially considering the non Level Xs in RR correspond to the main forms featured in Q1. Those being the same that got their own Parallel Rares to denote their significance. |

I feel like it's Zero-Two vs. Ark-Zero still but the scans right now are too damn blurry it's hard to freakin' tell who Kaguya Zero-Two is fighting.

Yep. It's official. Kamen Rider Zein will appear in KR Gotchard episode 33. KR Gotchard is finally infected by the Outsiders virus.
https://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/pr/conten...428_07171.html The article says that KR Zein will only appear in-suit and voiced by Toru Okawa. How long will this Legend "arc" last? Only 2 episodes from 32-33? I really hope so, because the longer KR Legend (and KR Zein and other non-canon Riders) exist in the main story, the higher the possibility that the main story is going to be further derailed. So, are the Hundred trio going to be killed in the very next episode? So far, the wind is apparently blowing in the opposite direction, so this Legend "arc" may last longer than 2 episodes. *facepalm |

I think it's possible. Of course, those cards are clearly Gaiard, Dragonalos and X Wizard, but there might be a reason why their texture is the same as Nijigon's right card (from Gotchard's perspective). Remember how Hibiki's Disc Animals have their own Final Forms that match Armed? Maybe Nijigon has the power to grant a Rainbow Rare status buff to other Chemies, by inserting them in place of the right card.

Considering how the scans show little of Zein's involvement it might just be an Outsiders tie-in of sorts where he's just watching menacingly. Especially since I don't think Yuuto's actor is credited?
Unless Zein is the big boss of Hundred in Gotchard's-verse. But we do know that the 3 Hundred Members are part of the "Hundred 4" and that fourth member is likely Ark-One. My guess is now that we're getting into it, Episodes 33 and 34 will be our Legend stuff, maybe 35, depends on how much they fit into the episodes. If only because that's all the May Scans seem to focus on except as everyone needs to remember, Toei only really ever shows the first half of the month (which would be 34 and 35) so there are plenty of surprises. And they're probably showing all this Legend stuff because it's the easiest to show since it's just a lot of old stuff. Personally I'm looking forward to it. It looks like Gotchard is having a lot of fun with what they're picking (I mean Ark-One getting a Malgam-like transformation? That's absolute genius use of a legacy character) to use for this special. Plus depending on how Ark-One Malgam is formed, alongside stuff like Clotho and Lachesis continuing their character work, it's hard to really say Gotchard got derailed or this is filler? Because either Chemy are being collected (which is the main goal of the series remember) or characters are continuing arcs we've seen them on. Though to be totally honest? The way everything's presented and set up? This feels like a classic Power Rangers Team Up in terms of vibes on how this is structured. |
