The Beginning of the END? Kamen Rider Gotchard Episode 46 review

[@Ashurman666]

One thing that bugged me about this episode was the restriction they put on Nijigon's power, like he can't use it unless all the chemies are together. This is dumb for two reasons: 1)it feels like a forced and arbitrary restriction 2)Houtaro never has the entire chemie collection with him since Spanner and Rinne have some themselves

That's trueeee. Though my thoughts on it are kinda hmmmmm... 1) Honestly, I felt this might have been a "lore" planned from the start. Like the memory erasure part, but they lacked the episodes and foresight to execute it properly. 2) trueeee. Then rainbow Gotchard in the most recent episode would be extra weak cuz spanner "defected" lol nya

It's not that. It's if all 100 aren't his allies.

@@BoomyShakes That's not what we're told though. Nijigon literally says" I can't use my powers unless all Chemies are together"

I can see why you think this episode was fast paced, but honestly I’m fine with it only being one episode instead of like 3 whole episodes because then it would drag. The whole entire purpose of this episode is to just showcase the downsides of people getting their memories back and how living in a world with chemys isn’t going to be easy thing to do. The way I see the alchemy association is that they’re supposed be kinda like a toxic government and how they lack critical thinking skills. They get easily manipulated, lack mutual understanding, and just blindly follow rules without thinking for themselves. They are a bunch of cowards and refuse to hold any accountability to protect their precious natural order. So yeah they’re a flawed government system that needs to change.

Well if they are a govt that needs changing, I would kinda expect them to be more of an Arc to fix then leave it as a convenient device nyaaa. Just feels like the vomitted too much lore into the show and run out of time. Abit similar to the issues in Zenkaigers and Donbrothers imo nya

@@tokucatsu I’m sorry but I don’t really think an arc would be enough to fix the problems that are in alchemy association. I feel like this is supposed to be an ongoing thing that can’t be solved in an arc.
