Oh no, Geryon turned the logo gold

That effet on Minato is so bad lol

It's like he's shooting honey everywhere. Spanner, how many women must die for you??

Is that the sponsor thing? Feels like a spoiler but okay

Klotho!

Mom, don't go outside in the gold rain. Oh, she knew this whole time, but she was okay with it... until now? Seems like they wanted the Aunt May knew the whole time, but didn't understand how to write her reaction except to act like a worried mom. Oh, she is okay with it. Good moment, we don't get enough of Houtarou with his mom since she's the only real connection to the real world (Kajiki, you don't count!)

lol, look at the greenscreening of Klotho holding the cards . Where did she get all these cards? He beat her without even transforming? One less WOrf to go

Oh Fuuga, I guess you're here still. Who are these jobber monsters? They never stop long enough for me to get a good look

lol Lakhesis's veil. Why the purple ribbon?

Oh, she was a doll the whole time! What a twist

You can see how small the green screen room is lol

These poor suit actors in those bulky suits lol. What are the wonder twins carrying around? Can't they shoot magic with their wrist blasters?

Oh hey, it's all the bad guys from b efore. So this guy really is just a dude?

Hahaha, they took out Nijigon so easily

Hahaha, rip Houtarou

What? He just will powered out of the gold? That's ridiculous. Why?? Are we going to get an actual explanation??

Everyone shares the philosopher's stone

Oh Geryon was made of poop this whole time


Wtf why legend?

What is Rinne's ring? That's new, right?

Are the guys at these tables the stunt actors?

What? They made a new Earth??

Well, not to be mean about it, but I wasn't expecting a great ending since the series itself wasn't that great in general. But even as a finale it's kind of disappointing. Klotho was a good death, but the rest of it felt unengaged. We were never going to believe Minato and Kyouka were dead or that the world was permanently gold. But unless I just missed something, the writers just felt like they could rule of cool out of explaining Houtarou's turnaround

A tokusatsu writer's job is to make us care about these two costumed wrestlers beating on each other. Writing and story gives the story stakes. It engages the viewer. Without it, it's just George Lucas playing with CGI at his desk. Without good story or characters, the show is essentially just asking me to enjoy seeing bright lights as it flashes by, and to not think about it during or after

Also, still no explanation on Houtarou's father. Why make that mystery box and not involve it or answer it, despite referencing it several times throughout the series?

viewtopic.php?t=26804
For the final series discussion, I think I'm giong to have to bump it from a 4 down to a 3. I don't think it's a waste of time since there are good moments and characters, but I couldn't really recommend this to anyone based on those scatterd good moments. Ultimately, a waste of potential. Good suits, some interesting characters (that luna rightly points out is stacked on the bad guy side) that doesn't ever really elevate beyond just an okay toku show

For the finale's rating... I feel like I'm a generous rater, if I have even a decent amount of fun, I give it a 4. For this, none of the battles have any emotional stakes. We see Twilight Majade and Silver Valvarad for the second and last time (Oh and Wind too) and they're fighting reanimated bad guys that don't even talk. They don't really do anyhthing good, fightingwise. They kill their enemies and it's time for Houtarou to defeat Geryon. Gotchard uppercutting Geryon in his base form is cool, but I was too distracted by how none of anything going on made sense. The story is terrible, but not insulting like last episode's, there is a lot of effects and fights going on. 3 stars?

[Lunagel]

When I saw Mom talking to the dad photo and we still don't see the face, I literally threw up my hands and yelled "What?!" at the screen.

I'm not sure what exactly else they could have done, because at this point their choices were a) mention but don't resolve b) don't mention, don't resolve or c) unsatisfactory resolve. I of course would have preferred d) DON'T BRING UP CHEKHOV'S DAD IN THE FIRST PLACE

[takenoko]

They can't ever reveal... Houtarou is his own dad. They did a back to the future!

Edit: I totally missed that Gotchard Ultima was a new form, since the only difference is the belt

Is this the first time Houtarou uses the from one thing all things are created spell? To create a new Earth? (I also didn't realize that was what was going on when first watching )

[Connie_Edogawa]

https://x.com/sibata0808/status/1827510392198983707

so, apparently, at some point they just forgot about the dad and decided "....heck with it, we're just not gonna bother."

[Lunagel]

Yeah that tracks

[takenoko]

Doesn't that tweet say they thought about it, and decided not to have him appear because they didn't think it'd be very interesting?

I'm almost at the end of the episode and they talk about Spanner having a new goal in life. In past seasons, this is where they talk about going on a quest to bring back Chase or Ankh or whoever died in the series. But here... they don't tell us what his new goal in life is. And somehow, this is worse than the cliche ending

Edit: Wait, I didn't realize that Kudou said she wants to see Atropos again. That explains the ring though

Edit edit; Did I even mention that Ichinose created another Earth? Why do these series always end in a new Earth being made? It's particularly stupid in this case, because Houtarou's dream is to have Chemys live alongside humanity. Instead of dealing with social issues and whatever related to that, he's put them on a different planet. Like a rules lawyer playing calvinball with their words. Chemys living on a different Earth wasn't the dream at all!

I don't really understand Rinne's comment as she helps Houtarou up. Maybe she likes him now. I dunno

[Mxylv]

Klotho was dead as soon as she confronted Geryon without any riders present, but the effortlessness with which she was beaten wound up feeling kind of hollow. Sure, there’s a poetry to her dying in Houtarou’s arms similar to the other two, but having them fight Geryon together and then having her die would’ve been more emotionally weighty. On a similar note, reviving the Hades kings felt kind of redundant as a way to keep the other riders occupied. Didn’t Valvarad beat Gigist last week?

I actually thought Houtarou willing himself out of the gold was a good scene (granted his hand bones would be broken from a punch like that, though I appreciate one of Geryon’s teeth being bent as befits gold). I’m not sure, however, where Houtarou’s power to reshape reality came from. We never really saw anything like that beforehand from him, so it ended up feeling contrived.

I may as well end on a highlight, which had to be Renge and Sabimaru. The immobilization cannons were a clever way of retroactively turning the seemingly meaningless B plot skit into a Chekhov’s gun. Wish we had more, but what we got of them was wonderful.

[Yaiba]

A lot of things that happened that should hype up the scene and create tension... but just didn't. There's no build up, follow up or explanation to anything. It's like they're checking off a checklist, simply just making sure all those tropes were in there. I'll be generous and say it's ok, but it could be better.

Is this Splatoon? It's such an inefficient way to paint the world gold.

The heartwarming moments with Mom was always nice.

I'm so glad Rinne finally fought with his dad. I wish there were more. The insert song here "Guardian of the Wind" (風の守護者) was sang by Fuuga's actor, Ishimaru Kanji.

Though he just disappeared afterwards. He wasn't there when those four were turned into gold.

I'm glad they found a use for that freezing potion that gave them so much trouble from before, that even the anti-freeze potion will freeze you. On second though... I think they said they were making it to fight Geryon before everyone acts like an idiot and freeze themselves.

The scattered Philosopher's Stone were absorbed by the 100 Chemys. So each's getting 1%. No one is going to get the whole stone now.

So... Houtarou created a whole new planet? And the solution was to just put all the Chemys there so they don't need to live with humans?

Whatever happened to Minato wanting to reform the Alchemy Alliance?

Please don't keep inserting Legend into other people's show.

So many cameos at the end.
- Hopper1's voice actor. Lol she commented on Hotarou's big eyes.
- The show's music composer, Takaki Hiroshi. He's holding the music sheets.
- The opening song artists, BACK-ON and FLOW's members. They were sitting at the tables.

Separate post for the blog because it's looooog.

================
Production blog
https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/gotchard/51/

Thank you everyone who has been reading Kamen Rider WEB blog. This is Producer Minato Yosuke. I usually write the part for the next episode. But I'll write the blog this week as a recap for the year. (It's not like the Assistant Producers forced me to do it by saying "Minato-san, you looked bored.")

This theme of the was "Cheerful and fun!"
However, the battle that concludes the year-long program had to be an intense one, with the fate of the world at stake, to end on a high note.

The main cast members have also left their messages at the end.


Houtarou's family
Houtarou returned to Kitchen Ichinose to tell his mother his secret. At first, there was the idea for this scene to happen in the field. Tamami-san, worried about her child, went looking for Hotarou in the midst of the chaos. The aim was to make the scene feel tense and special by having Tamami, who had not appeared in any scenes other than Kitchen Ichinose, appeared in the location scene. However, Houtarou said in episode 49 that he would definitely tell her. Houtarou would take the responsibility to tell her properly, so the scene was changed back to the usual set.

Incidentally, the rice balls were added to the script by Director Tazaki.
Although it was still the same conversation, the fact that Tamami was waiting with the rice balls conveyed that she had intended to see him off from the beginning, showing the strength of a mother.

By the way... I'm sure you were all wondering about this too, right? Houtarou's father?
I thought about him a lot, but ultimately decided not to have him appear.

The reason was that it was not very interesting to talk about. Maybe one day we'll talk about it, but I'd be happy if you let your imagination run wild in the time being.


Klotho
In the script, only the visions of Atropos and Lachesis appeared, then Klotho smiled and closed her eyes. That's it. On set, Klotho's actress, Miyahara-san, told the director she wanted to touch their hands at the end. So the scene of them holding hands at the end was done. Of the three sisters, Klotho had the most unfortunate role. However, thanks to Miyahara Kanon's loving performance, I think Clotho was finally able to understand happiness in the end.

Kamen Rider Gotchard is not only the story of Hotarou and the other alchemists, but also the story of the Three Dark Sisters, homunculus born from alchemy. I believe that in the end, they too became "alchemists" who keep moving forward.


The new Earth
The new Earth was created by Houtarou using the Dread Troopers and the Golden Ray as materials. As Houtarou said, Geryon's Golden Ray was not perfect. It didn't transform the substance into gold, it was just coating them with gold plating. That's why Houtarou could move. If you peeled off the plating, you could use the extracted substance to create the new Earth.

The twist might be disappointing, but this was something that has happened in real alchemy too. The attempt to make gold appeared to be successful, but in fact it was just a coating. In other words, it was a failure. But the coating itself gives rise to new uses.

There is value in failure. That's how it is. The newly born Gatchadriver was one example.


Gotchard Ultima
Using the Gatchdriver created by Houtarou, instead of the one entrusted to him by Fuuga, Hopper1 and SteamLiner transformed into a form that responded to Houtarou's feelings through multiple transmutations of humans and Chemys. This is the so-called final episode limited form.

When I consulted with Bandai about making this plot, they suggested to try using the Gatchadriver (Daybreak ver.), which is currently available for preorder. So this is how this came about.

And since the story ends in this form, there can only be one insert song to conclude it. The song selection of was suggested by Ida-san from Avex.
"Rising Fighter"!!!

In the Chemy lined up, new CG Chemys had been added. They were created by students from Tokyo Communication Art College as part of an industry-academia collaboration project.


The citizens
Among the general public, there was also Tacchan and the group of thugs.

Tacchan, who tried to condemn the alchemist, and the thugs who tried to steal the Chemys, all ended up fighting together when the alchemist saved their lives. But isn't that what adults were like? Or maybe that's what humans were like?

I've often said something along the lines of "Adults are no good. Young people who don't know anything are the strongest". But in the end, this world is desperately created by those no-good adults. That's why the world is always changing, and there are good things and bad things. Geryon hates such unstable people and the world itself.


Ending and Cameos
Kitchen Ichinose had reopened and there were familiar faces as customers!

Takagi Hiroshi, composer of "Kamen Rider Gotchard". His character setting was also a musician, and the music sheet he's holding has the main theme song from Gotchard written on it.

KENJI03 and TEEDA from BACK-ON, who sing the theme song "CHEMY×STORY".
KOHSHI, KEIGO, TAKE, GOT'S, and IWASAKI from FLOW.
They played the public who had completely cooled down about the Chemy situation and were just chatting

And in green clothes, who looked surprised at Houtarou, was voice actress Fukuen Misato, well known for voicing Hopper1.

The absurd event of the world turning to gold actually happened, but it disappeared in an instant due to Houtarou's alchemy (without any human or property damage). The people were left with only a reality with no evidence. They were unable to accept a reality that was so far removed from common sense, so some kind of logical cover story was developed, and alchemy was treated as an occult.

I don't think we can say that this kind of thing doesn't happen in our reality.

Hello everyone! I'm Matsumoto Reiyo, who plays Kudou Rinne.

Thank you so much for watching Kamen Rider Gotchard for the past year!
It's been a long year, but it's also been a very short one. There were a lot of difficult things and things I didn't understand. I was worried about whether I could make it through the year, but thanks to everyone's warm support, I was able to keep going. Thank you so much!! It's been a very dense year.

I'm Abe Otsu, who played Ichou Renge!

First of all, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who supported me over the past year! Thank you so much!!

This past year seemed long but also short, but I met irreplaceable friends and had a valuable experience that is the greatest joy of being an actor.

I am so honored to have made such great friends, had so many experiences with such a top-notch staff, and had such a precious time in my life. It's all thanks to all of you who support me. Thank you for your continued support.

I have a dream of becoming the number one movie actor in Japan. So I would be so happy if those of you who already know me would continue to support me in the future.

Gotchard is immortal!!

I hope you will continue to support me!! Thank you so much for the past year!


Minato / Kumaki Rikuto
Thank you very much for watching the final episode.

I have very complicated emotions, like being happy and sad that this day has come, but I believe from the bottom of my heart that we have been able to have the best finale possible. It is all thanks to everyone who has supported Gotchard over the past year. Thank you for an irreplaceable year.

I am proud to have had the opportunity to encounter a work that will become a lifelong treasure, and will continue to work hard as an actor. I will also give it my all at FLT, so I hope everyone who comes will enjoy it to the fullest as well!!

Once again, thank you so much for supporting Gotchard over the past year!!!


Kajiki Ryou / Kabe Amon
Thank you for staying with us until the final episode.

How have you enjoyed Kamen Rider Gotchard over the past year? The cast and staff came together and put a lot of sweat and tears into creating this series so that we could provide everyone with a fun time every Sunday morning. I am so happy that everyone loves the character Kajiki. It was a wonderful experience that is truly rewarding as an actor.

The story of Gotchard continues in the Final Stage. If there are support, maybe there will be a new spin-off... . . ? ? ?

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the cast and staff, and to all the fans who have supported us. Until then, let's meet again on a Sunday morning someday.

This was Kabe Amon, who played Kajiki Ryou.


Edami Kyouka / Fukuda Saki
Thank you for watching the final episode.
Thank you so much for all of your support!
We've received a lot of your voices!
And those voices have really supported us!
We look forward to seeing you in the final stage.


Atropos / Okita Itono
Thank you for watching Kamen Rider Gotchard for the past year!
I was very happy that so many people supported the Dark Sisters, even though they were the enemy.
I was nervous at first, but the staff and cast were all so kind to me and it was a fun year. I hope to act with everyone again someday. Once again, thank you so much for the past year!


Klotho / Miyahara Kanon
Thank you for watching Kamen Rider Gotchard for the past year!
I was truly happy to be able to play as Klotho for a whole year, one of the Dark Sisters. I really love the Dark Sisters. Thank you for loving Kamen Rider Gotchard and for giving me such a wonderful role. It gave me so much strength knowing that everyone watched every week and gave me their feedback and support.

The series has ended, but I hope that it will live on in your hearts forever. I will continue to work hard, looking forward to meeting you all again someday! Please continue to support me!


Lakhesis / Sakamaki Alisa
Kamen Rider Gotchard, the final episode! Thank you for watching.

It was a great honor to be able to act as Lachesis with such wonderful friends for a year and create Gotchard. And above all, it was fun!!! Everyone involved was so loving. Gotchard was such a wonderful work.

I love La-ke-chan too!!!

I hope to see you all again somewhere

The main story of Gotchard has already ended, but it will live on in all of your hearts! In us too☺

Let's enjoy the final tour too!! Please come and see our beautiful finale in person! Until we meet again!


Geryon / Kamakari Kenta
Thank you so much for your support of Kamen Rider Gotchard for the past year.

First of all, I'm sorry for all the unpleasant things I've done to you... (laughs)

Geryon was a really rewarding role. At first, I was being pushed around by Geryon, but I started to hear his voice, and before I knew it, I took his hand and faced Houtarou and the others. I'll never forget transforming with the belt in my hand.

And I was able to make deep friendships with wonderful friends. I'm really grateful to all the staff who always wrapped me in warm love despite their busy schedules every day.
More than anything, this work has grown greatly because everyone watched it and entered the world of Gotchard with us.

Although Geryon's ambitions were not fulfilled, this wonderful encounter is a completely beautiful chemistry!

I'd like to treat the poor girls, the three sisters, to a delicious meal (laughs)

And lastly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for "Stain in gold"!


Ichinose Tamami / Minamino Yoko
Thank you to everyone who watched, the cast, and the staff for the past year.
Watching over the growth of Houtarou and his friends with the same warmth as the character was a comfortable and precious experience for me. I would have liked to have gone into it a little more, but that said, see you again soon.


Kudou Fuuga / Ishimaru Kanji
To the cast and staff of Kamen Rider Gotchard, thank you for your work this year. I was happy to be working with you. And most of all, thank you to everyone who enjoyed the show. I would like to express my sincere gratitude.

I am from the generation for whom the original Kamen Rider was a hero. I was glued to the TV every week. Now I have been offered the opportunity to appear in "Kamen Rider." When I heard about it, I was surprised and overwhelmed. I was also given the character name Kamen Rider Wind and became a rider, as a father-daughter rider with my daughter Rinne. I was even able to sing the character song, so there is no greater honor than this. I would like to secretly whisper this to my childhood self. I'm sure he would have been delighted with sparkling eyes.

More than half a century has passed since the original "Kamen Rider," and what impressed me most this time was the theme. Aiming for a world where artificial lifeforms Chemys and humans can coexist.
What a fitting theme for today's world, where diversity is so important. As a viewer, I empathized with Hourataro's feelings, especially in the episodes where I didn't appear.

Once again, thanks to all the staff and cast for your hard work! Thank you so much to everyone who watched and purchased toys and Chemy Cards! I would be happy if this program could make everyone's lives even a little more enjoyable.

Gatcha!


Houou Kaguya Quartz / Nagata Seiichiro
Gorgeous!

Thank you for your support of Kamen Rider Gotchard over the past year!!! They were all gorgeously fun days!!!

When I first met Hourtaro he still wasn't gorgeous enough...but he has a much muscular face now.
They have experienced a lot over the past year and have become much more gorgeous. Each and every one of them truly shone brightly. They had a shine that no other jewel could match. It reminded me once again that everyone is a shining gem. I was able to see something wonderful. It was an honor.

Kaguya-sama must also polish his shine even more. The journey has only just begun. May Kaguya-sama's legend continue to be engraved in your eyes. And I ask for your continued support for them.

Farewell! Gorgeous!!

Original Japanese Text

仮面ライダーWEBをご覧の皆さま、お世話になっております。東映の湊です！！
いつもは「次回のガッチャどころ」を書いている私ですが、
今回は1年間の総括として、富良洲高校掲示板まで担当させていただきます。
（AP達から「湊さん、暇ですよね？」などと押し付けられたわけではありません。たぶん）

この番組は「明るく！楽しく！」をテーマにお届けして参りました。
ただ、それでもやはり一年間に渡る番組の最後を締めくくる戦いは、
世界の命運を掛けた鬼気迫るものでなくてはどうにも格好がつかないというもの。

最後にはメインキャスト一同より、応援してくださった皆さまへのメッセージもいただいておりますので、ごゆっくりお付き合いいただけますと幸いです。

===========
宝太郎はずっと母に言いそびれていたことを伝えにキッチンいちのせに戻ります。
このシーン、実はプロット段階では珠美役の南野陽子さんをロケにお呼びする案もありました。
ドレットルーパーで騒然とする街の中、我が子を心配してきた珠美に宝太郎が偶然出会い……というような。
その狙いとしては、これまでキッチンいちのせ以外に出演シーンが無かった珠美がロケシーンに出演することで、緊張感・特別感のあるシーンとすることでした。
しかし、４９話で「後でちゃんと話すから」と宣言した宝太郎ならば必ずいちのせにやってきて話しをするでしょう。ということでいつも通りセットでのお芝居に変更されたのですが……

ちなみに、このシーンで珠美が宝太郎に渡す"おにぎり"は田﨑監督のアイデアで台本に追加されたものです。
同じ会話でも、珠美が"おにぎりを用意して待っている"ことで、最初から送り出すつもりだったことが伝わり、母の強さを感じるシーンに。

ちなみに……皆さんはこれも気になってましたよね？きっと。

宝太郎の父親。

彼に関しては色々と考えたのですが、結論としては登場させないことにしました。
この理由に関しては語ってもあまり面白くないので、辞めておきます。

いつか語る日が来るかもしれませんが、ぜひ皆さんで想像を膨らませていただけますと幸いです。

===========
台本上では
アトロポスとラケシスの幻影が現れる。
笑顔で、目を閉じるクロトー。
だけになっています。
宮原さんが現場で「最後に手を触れたいです」と監督に伝え、最後の手を重ねるシーンが生まれました。

三姉妹の中で、最も損な役回りをしてきたクロトー。
しかし、愛情を持って最後まで演じ切った宮原華音さんによって、クロトーも最後に幸せを理解することができたのではないかと思います。

『仮面ライダーガッチャード』は、宝太郎たち錬金術師の話であると同時に、錬金術によって生まれたホムンクルス、冥黒の三姉妹の話でもありました。
それはこの最終３話が物語っています。
彼女たちもまた最後には「前に進み続ける者=錬金術師」となったのだと思います。

===========
そんな宝太郎が世界中に広がる巨大ドレットルーパーと、黄金化光線を素材として錬成したのがもう一つの地球です。

宝太郎も言っておりましたが、グリオンの黄金化光線は決して完璧ではなかったのです。
物質を変性させたのではなく、
金メッキでコーティングしていただけ

だから宝太郎も動けるし、メッキを剥がせば取り出した物質を使って地球を錬成することもできるのです。

肩透かしとも言えるオチですが、これは現実の錬金術でも起こったことです。

金を作ろうとする試みは成功したかに見えて、実はコーティングしていただけ。つまり失敗。
でも、そのコーティングそのものから新しい使い方が生まれる。

失敗にこそ価値がある。というわけです。
新しく生まれたガッチャードライバーもその一つ。

===========
九堂風雅から託されたベルトではなく、宝太郎が錬成したガッチャードライバーを使い、宝太郎の想いに呼応したホッパー１とスチームライナーが人とケミーの多重錬成によって変化した姿。
いわゆる最終話限定フォームです。

というドラマをやるに当たってバンダイさんに相談したところ、
「現在好評予約受付中のガッチャードライバー（デイブレイクver.）を使ってみてはいかがでしょう！？」
と逆にご提案いただいたのが今回の経緯。

そして、この姿で決着を付けるということは決着を付ける挿入歌は一つしか無いでしょう。
『Rising Fighter』!!!
この曲セレクトもエイベックス飯田さんからの提案によるもの。
ありがとうございます！

このずらりと並んだケミーたちもありがとうございます案件。
東京コミュニケーションアート専門学校の学生さんたちが産学連携プロジェクトとして作っていただいたCGケミーが新たに追加されています。
改めてありがとうございました。

営業を再開したキッチンいちのせにどこかで見た顔のお客さん達が！笑

===========
一般人達の中に紛れてなんとあのたっちゃんと悪人集団も！
錬金術師を断罪しようとしていたあのたっちゃんも、ケミーを奪って悪事を働こうとしていた悪人たちも、いざ錬金術師に命の危機を助けられたらあっさり一緒に戦っちゃったりして。
でも、大人なんて、そんなモノじゃないでしょうか。

というか、それが人間なのかもしれません。
私は今作に関して度々「大人はダメです。何も知らない若者こそ最強です」という趣旨のことを語ってきたのですが、
結局、この世界はそのダメな大人が必死になって作っているんですよね。

だから世界は常に変わり続けているし、良い事もあれば悪い事もある。
これから変えていくことだってできるわけですしね。
でも、そんな揺れ動く不安定な人間や、世界そのものが大嫌いなのがグリオン様です。

===========
左の写真より、
『仮面ライダーガッチャード』作曲の高木洋さん！
主題歌『CHEMY×STORY』を歌うBACK-ONのKENJI03さん、TEEDAさん！
同じくFLOWのKOHSHIさん、KEIGOさん、TAKEさん、GOT'Sさん、IWASAKIさん！
そして右の写真右手で緑の洋服で宝太郎に驚いているのが
ホッパー１の声でお馴染み、声優の福圓美里さん！
ちなみに高木さんは本当に音楽家という設定で、手に持った譜面にはガッチャードのメイン劇伴が書かれています。

一応、裏設定的には世界黄金化という、荒唐無稽なことが事実として起こり、宝太郎の錬金術によって瞬く間にそれが消失してしまう（しかも人的、物損的被害は無し）という何の証拠も残らない現実だけが残った人々は余りにも常識から離れた現実を受け入れられず、何かしらの論理立ったカバーストーリーが展開され、錬金術はオカルトとして処理されたという設定です。
あれだけ騒ぎになっていたケミーや錬金術の話題も証拠となるケミーが新地球へ行ってしまったので一緒に風化してしまったんですね。
こういうこと、我々の現実にも無いとは言えないんじゃないでしょうか

一ノ瀬宝太郎/仮面ライダーガッチャード：本島純政
一ノ瀬宝太郎役を務めさせていただきました、本島純政です！
仮面ライダーガッチャードを最後までご覧いただき、ありがとうございました！
ガッチャードが終わってしまったんだと思うとすごく寂しいです。
ガッチャードロスが激しくて、現場に戻りたい気持ちでいっぱいです笑

1年間、仮面ライダーガッチャードの応援本当にありがとうございました。
まず！沢山嫌な事をしてごめんなさい、、、（笑）
グリオン様は本当にやり甲斐溢れる役でした。
はじめは自分もグリオン様に振り回されながら、でも彼の声がどんどん聞こえ、いつしか手を取り宝太郎達と向き合ってきました。
ベルトを手に変身出来た事は忘れません。
そして素晴らしい仲間と深い友情が出来ました。
毎日ハードスケジュールの中、いつもあたたかい愛で包んでくださったスタッフの皆様に本当に感謝いたします。
何より皆さまが見てくださり、ガッチャードの世界に一緒に入ってくださる事でこの作品は大きく育まれました。
グリオン様の野望は果たせなかったですが、この素晴らしい出会いは完全に美しきケミストリーです！
可哀想な娘達三姉妹には美味しいご飯をご馳走したいと思います（笑）
それでは最後に「金色に染まれ」　心からありがとうございました！

九堂風雅/仮面ライダーウインド：石丸幹二
「仮面ライダー ガッチャード」キャスト＆スタッフの皆さん、一年の完走お疲れ様でした。ご一緒できて、幸せでした。何より、放送を楽しんでくださった皆さん、ありがとうございました。心より御礼申し上げます。
私は、“初代“の仮面ライダーがヒーローだった世代です。毎週、テレビにかじりついていたものでした。
その私が「仮面ライダー」に出演できることになったのです。お話をいただいた時は、驚きと共に大感激。しかも、仮面ライダーウインドという字名を与えられ、ライダーになれた！娘りんねと共に親子ライダーとして。
さらに、キャラクターソングまで歌えたのですから、こんな名誉なことはありません。
子供時代の私に、こっそり耳打ちしてやりたいですね。
きっと、目をキラキラさせて喜んだことと思います。
初代から半世紀以上が経った「仮面ライダー」に関わり、今回、非常に感銘を受けたのは、そのテーマ性です。
人工生命体『ケミー』と人間が共存できる世界を目指す。
多様性が求められる現代に、なんと相応しいテーマでしょう。
自分の出番のない放送回は特に、宝太郎のそんな思いに一視聴者として共感して観ていました。
改めて、スタッフ、キャストの皆さん、お疲れ様でした！
ご視聴いただいた皆さま、玩具を、ケミーカードを購入いただいた皆さま、本当にありがとうございました！
この番組が皆さまの人生を少しでも楽しいものに、できていたら幸せです。

ガッチャ！

鳳桜・カグヤ・クォーツ/仮面ライダーレジェンド：永田聖一朗
ゴージャス！
仮面ライダーガッチャード1年間応援ありがとう！！！
ゴージャスに楽しい日々だった！！
初めて宝太郎に会った時はまだまだゴージャスが足りなかったが…たくましい顔つきになったものだ。
彼らはこの一年で様々な事を経験しかなりゴージャスになった。
1人1人が本当に輝いていた。
どの宝石にも変え難い輝きだった。誰しも輝く宝石なんだと、改めて気づかせて貰った。
素晴らしきものを見ることができた。光栄だ。
カグヤ様ももっと輝きを磨かなければな。
旅はまだ始まったばかり。
これからもカグヤ様の伝説をその眼に刻め。
そしてこれからの彼らの応援もよろしく頼む。
さらばだ！ゴージャス！！

>The scattered Philosopher's Stone were absorbed by the 100 Chemys. So each's getting 1%. No one is going to get the whole stone now.

so if Nijigon, the 101st Chemy has 1%, then all the other Chemys are getting slightly under 1% each? Unless dark Nijigon really did replace the missing 1%, then they each get exactly 1% each

>Whatever happened to Minato wanting to reform the Alchemy Alliance?

Let's be honest, I laughed when the sponsor said "Minato and Kyouka are gold, the fate of the world rests on the young alchemists". That's always been the case, Minato and Kyouka have never done anything except be around

So many cameos at the end.
- Hopper1's voice actor. Lol she commented on Hotarou's big eyes.
- The show's music composer, Takaki Hiroshi. He's holding the music sheets.
- The opening song artists, BACK-ON and FLOW's members. They were sitting at the tables.

Ooh, that makes sense. Thanks for that!

[darkmage02]

As expected of a show that fluctuates between the good and the bad, it ended on a whimper.

Just my initial thoughts on the finale, in no particular order.

> Personal fav moment from the episode: Houtaro's scene with his mom. I wish we got more of moments like this that lend heart and realism to this superfluous world.
> They didn't do that great of a job with Khlotos' character that when time comes for her to die, I didn't really feel anything. Poetic death, yes. But I just don't care enough.
> The stakes felt extremely low in this finale. Nothing apart from Khlotos's death will stick anyway.
> Houtaro conjuring a whole new Earth just for the Chemies to exist feels like the biggest deux ex machina this show could've pulled off. How did he elevate from student alchemist level to god alchemist level? We just didn't see enough progression of his alchemist powers throughout the series for this to be even a tad bit believable.
> So is Ultima stronger than Rainbow Gotchard? I"m so confused. Which is Gotchard's final form again?
> Looks like we'll either never find out who Houtaro's father is or we will in future VCinema films.
> Why the mystery with the father tho? Felt like such an asspull with the mystery that has no visible implication on the plot and to never reveal it all the way to the end.
> Boohoo, Valvarad and Majade fight resurrected Abysilis Kings. I would've loved for all 3 Riders to fight Geryon together as they all have a beef with him one way or another. But alas, this is Gotchard's show.
> Of course Majade fumbles and needs Wind to come aid her in service of a cliche father-daughter moment. Can't have a female Rider not needing help, eh?
> Both Rinne & Spanner got so little to do in this finale. Can't say I'm surprised, but disappointing nonetheless.
> I've said it previously but the conflict between Houtaro and Geryon lacks depth other than the typical "main protag vs main antag" schtick. There's just no weight to their fights, and to me it's just a blur of CGI spectacle that got me neither engaged or invested.
> Houtaro beating Geryon with the power of friendship just made me laugh out loud.
> It's nice to see that Kajiki got accepted into the group proper, dude deserves it.
> Eh is Rinne and Houtaro a real couple now? They're holding hands running towards the future.
> What's Spanner's new goal in life? To revive Lachesis? To find true love? Tell us Toei!
> Can't say I hate the ending, as everything more or less happen as expected apart from God Houtaro. It's a story about hope and friendship, and to that extent the finale shows that. It could've treated some of its characters better, and the lack of stakes dampens my overall enjoyment.
> 3/5

> the fact that Tamami was waiting with the rice balls conveyed that she had intended to see him off from the beginning, showing the strength of a mother.

that's a nice detail. probably the best scene for Houtarou in this series

> It didn't transform the substance into gold, it was just coating them with gold plating. That's why Houtarou could move. If you peeled off the plating, you could use the extracted substance to create the new Earth.

Holy shit is that the explanation? /me looks down and thinks

>When I consulted with Bandai about making this plot, they suggested to try using the Gatchadriver (Daybreak ver.), which is currently available for preorder. So this is how this came about.

Oh, so this is the bridge between regular Houtarou and adult Houtarou? That sounds cooler on paper than it actually comes across in the show

>In the Chemy lined up, new CG Chemys had been added. They were created by students from Tokyo Communication Art College as part of an industry-academia collaboration project.

In the scenes where all the Chemys appeared, there were Chemys that never had a real form and only appeared as cards before. Like the Gundam-lookalike RenkingRobo, it's the first time it appeared outside of his card.

[Lunagel]

Outsourcing free labor I see

[resop2]

Instead of sticking the landing, this one fell directly on its face.

We go from monsters causing havoc to Houtarou visiting his mom. Houtarou beats the final boss because it's his show and all he has to do is be determined and he will win even though his win is a 100% unsupported by past events asspull. We have Klotho being inspired by Houtarou's speech some 30 episodes ago even though in that episode she looked like Houtarou was yelling gibberish at her. The other two riders don't get to contribute to the final boss fight because it is not their show. The ending does not support a promotional tie-in card collection game. The final boss goes from being invincible to weak for no particular reason. We had to look at Legend again. Unless a miracle occurs the next Rider will be the most skip-able one in history. Will the next big evil be a dentist?

2/5 episode for me.
