Why the Kamen Rider Legend Special is weird (Kamen Rider Gotchard)

[@TotallyWorkingg]

I also just love that legend doesn't just become the rider but his power amps the powers of the older forms

[@reggielacey2235]

Yets hes weaker then the main rider therefore weaker then zio and decade

[@RhythmOSauce]

I find it funny how the Legend Driver parallels the Decade Driver as instead of of putting the card down and the card going to the side. The Legend Driver does the reverse process and inserts it from the side to pop it up vertically

[@user-ir1xo9jp8w]

It's really interesting that the Legend special is actually Junsei Motojima (Hotarou)'s first ever role for Kamen Rider. So, this is him at his newest in acting /AT ALL/ since he has absolutely zero experience before this. I absolutely love Hotarou and Kaguya's dynamic though. I'm going off of vague feelings, but I get the sense that Kaguya likes Hotarou in the sense that he's technically only friend. He's revered by the people around him (mostly Butler), but Hotarou's innocence sees way past his 'gorgeousness' and sees Kaguya as a person. Which was why he looked so sad when he suddenly disappeared and then resolves to find Hotarou again. It's also interesting that it was a KZbin special that fix the small plot element that the Gotchardriver can't handle a lot of energy and forcibly removes Hotarou out of the transformation as seen with KuugaFaiz and BatKingRobo. Kaguya apparently fixed that issue.

[@Zeromaru42]

Honestly just Kaguya's dynamic makes me hope Legend comes back more often. It's nice to have a Decade Styled Character that's not straight up Decade and is actively really fun to watch again. Plus he's a Decade Styled Character with a badass suit that goes really far over the top.

[@AshXXMayftw]

@@Zeromaru42 A possible spoiler, but in the newest Gotchard poster he can be seen farther in the background. So, there's a strong possibility he'll return.

[@beastwave9308]

There's a leak of Legend, his new gun/henshin belt and new form.

[@michaelrhett4958]

Wait, this was Hotaro’s actor’s first time filming for Hotaro?

[@ahmesfabinfaizal3692]

​@@michaelrhett4958 yeah man I am confused too, like what's wrong with that sentence.

[@priorraptor7024]

my favorite quote on thee special is "To be a hero, is to arrive late"

[@zeroknight1311]

What I find interesting is that the useage of stuff from Zi-O almosts creates a connection between the Villian Faction Hundred and the season of Zi-O. Since there were a lot of unanswered questions regarding where a lot of the stuff in Zi-O came from. As the Kasshines and the Dai Mazines always seem to be seperate from Ohma Zi-O. Since the destruction of Sougo's first Ziku Driver actually deactives the Kasshine that was sent to kill Geiz. And the Dai Mazines were implied to have been reprogrammed by Ohma Zi-O who took control of them.

[@secondaegis9190]

Imagine if Reiwa's 10 year anniversary just gets hijacked by Zi-O, like Decade did for his season. Then we can make a joke episode with Revice, where everyone is in their Zi-O form, fighting a Zi-O inspired enemy

[@EdenElectorate]

Hundred in 2068 "fuck me ig, why the fuck we even trying"

[@starforcenetwork]

I just wanna see him meet Decade and they'll fight, not sure how Tsukasa feels about seeing a whole different Rider using some of his looks and powers. Hopefully a crossover special happens somehow

[@Epickilla07]

also legend's name hougo quartz is a reference to zi o as well, with zi o's name being sougo, and the quartz is from the name of the theme song for zi o's "Over Quartzer".

[@BlazingKhioneus]

also quartz is an element used in clocks to keep the time properly.

[@Reptalica]

Fun fact:KR decade voiced in his home.And he recorded all of it and upload it in his YT channel.

[@karetsu2992]

Legend special really felt for me like self-insert fanfic with budget

[@BlazingKhioneus]

The whole "all these riders begged me to make them gorgeous and take their powers" really makes me hope we get him sorta going mad now that century is defeated and going manifest destiny on the riderverse to make it all gorgeous. That may also be me hoping he does something truly interesting.

[@TotallyWorkingg]

Legend proves having a brash rude attitude doesn't always equal terrible person. Just to the point and no sugar coating

[@Big-Image]

I'm gonna be honest, I'd definitely watch a standalone season of Kamen Rider Legend!

[@WanderingRonin509]

Straight up I found legends 2 episodes to be more interesting then gotchard I feel if legends story and bad guys were explored properly and not just given the whole 2 episodes treatment this would be an amazing rider season or at least a longer spin off series heck decade returning as a mentor like character to legend would be awesome too

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

I don’t remember a CSM 3.0 being announced, but who knows. Maybe once legend shows up in the show, proper.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

Well, he has shown up, and we haven’t gotten anything regarding a CSM 3.0.

[@anthonythomas305]

Gorgeous review Thomas. It was a very cool special for Legend

[@DanishHadi-xn6mq]

What A Gorgeous Review By The Legendary Thomasjujube

[@XrossHazard]

I like how Legend subtle implies that he's from the Over Quartzer movie world

[@justinmontana3710]

While the specials were undeniably set-up fodder, i think they did just enough to be fun in their own right. At this point i'm mostly curious about Legend and the Legend Chemy's are going to work in show, especially if it means we might get to see more of Gotchard's legend forms

[@Flamne]

Another interesting Zi-O reference because he doesn't have enough, Is the lion mane like thing on his face is a kanji, It's a tweet or facebook post that pointed it out Also Quartz, That's obvious

[@mxtt_ism5063]

I just wish there was more episodes... 😭😥

[@dwaynewilson8919]

The driver looks like beast driver on decade driver and the ring can also be related to wizard if they decide to do a wizard tie in like kyoryuger in kingohger.

[@wargegeson8063]

I’m intrigued on how legend will become a main character in Gotchard, but I think he will have a similar role to kamen rider demons or perhaps similar to the dad from revice since the kamen rider Vail was a prequel to the show and the dad became a rider again in like I think 2 episodes and a movie

[@Noobnormality]

My problem with Legend doesn't even have to do with the special itself. Now i absolutely ADORE the main idea behind Legend, it basically takes Decade's, or rather every Toku anniversary season ever of bringing back past riders as its main gimmick, and amping it up in ways i never thought are possible. I just wished this was an anniversary season. I get that Rider seasons tend to do this nowadays, but the fact that Legend is separate character with his OWN special and role just makes him feel like an Anomaly in Gotchard, especially since I don't think Gotchard is celebrating anything. Edit: Also, for the character arc thing, i think it's a two-way development arc. Houtaro did change how Kaguya feels about him, but it was actually Butler who changed the way Houtaro feels about Kaguya, as well as the whole "he fights by being gorgeous" thing which fits in with Gotchard learning how to be a proper Kamen Rider.

[@monkeywrench1290]

Both belts use chemy cards so it explains many things Edit:why is legend's voice so satifyingly relaxing?is it just me?

[@exiaedges]

While it's not officially confirmed that Kamen Rider Legend will have a crossover with Twokaiser, Legend's actor have posted a photo with Twokaiser's actor with the hashtag Kamen Rider Legend and Twokaiser, and Twokaiser's actor retweeted and like Legend's actor's post, it is safe to say that both actors want the crossover to happen. As for Toei approving the crossover, they said during Saber and Zenkaiger's airing that they won't be doing Rider and Sentai crossover for awhile as in Taisen movies and decide save to it for special milestone. V-Cinema style crossover is highly unlikely; however, TTFC web crossover on the other hand is possible, and Legend, himself, acts like part of a five year milestone that started with Decade, following with Fifteen, and Zi-O which they make the exception and let it happen.

[@priorraptor7024]

there is a rumor that legend will going to have another special, but it's with decade

[@Zeromaru42]

Honestly after this special I'd be perfectly on board with him joining the Main Cast as a Tertiary Rider but I think he's probably best off as his own thing to be treated like a spiritual Successor to Decade. I think if they brought him back too early and gave him Gorgeous Legend would kinda go the way of Grand Zi-O. Really cool on the first appearance and a couple of times afterwards but would have to be nerfed so ridiculously hard by the plot that he'd only really get to be at full power maybe once or twice in a Movie or Special because it'd be too broken otherwise. If the suit is any bit as ridiculous as the Leaks I don't want it to face the fate Grand Zi-O did, or worse. Anyone remember when Complete 21 showed up and was rightfully Yamcha'd by Ohma Zi-O? Well imagine that but with a design that's actually kinda cool.

[@Tasty_Tango45]

@@Zeromaru42yea I wasn’t on board with that rumor before, but after seeing the special it would be sick if they found a way to work him into the main show that wasn’t confusing.

[@Zeromaru42]

@@Tasty_Tango45 I'd love for him to just show up pulling a Woz like halfway through one of the next arcs then show off Gorgeous at around the Super Form Debut. That way if they have to write him off later like they probably will due to Anniversary forms being inherently a little broken, they can fall back on just giving him a V Cinema explaining what he's doing and been doing in that time frame. Sort of like Snipe's Mini Series and subsequent Another Ending. I'd rather see them do that than either Nerf Gorgeous Legend on Grand Zi-O levels or make him exclusive to the specials which is kind of a disservice to the design.

[@HenshinFanatic]

​@@Zeromaru42 still waiting on more of Kamen Rider Outsiders.

[@Tasty_Tango45]

I really liked this special! I hope Kaguya joins the main cast.

[@tonyle7492]

Yeah it’d be a bit of a waste if the suit and cards to be only own for two episodes lol

[@kuraihikari5785]

We definitely need more episodes; felt like the story kind of stopped just as it got started. I mean, I’m still not really into Gotchard as a character so Legend was more interesting to me, but we still don’t really get to see what his whole deal is. I’m sure he’ll show back up in the show at some point, but it feels like they introduced him way too early if we were only going to get a little taste then just have to wait for the rest of it.

[@WammyHonkai-ld1ju]

Legend will definitely return. Its like Kamen Rider Falchion

[@nenshoufox]

Kaguya:”Wait for me Hotarou. I’m coming for you!” Dang dude. Calm down. At least let him make you dinner first!

[@brentocsan8657]

I hope we get Kamen rider Decade and Kamen rider Legend crossover like the Gokaiger and TwoKaiser crossover

[@pierrekhiemtu]

i... did not know that the dimension barrier thing was called "Aurora Curtain" LOL

[@alfianfawzi2064]

HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR FR 😆😂🤣 I'll be frank with you man, when Kamen Rider Legend is revealed to be a new guy, I was so happy that I've just got a new addition for my Kamen Rider dream team, and he's basically a Decade fanboy. Not to mention, 2023 is the year where we have Legend, a Kamen Rider based on Decade with Ride Chemy Cards, and Zein, a Kamen Rider who uses his own Rider Cards with a similar design to Decade's cards. And they also debuted exactly 5 years after Zi-O ended. This certainly proves that the in-universe concept of Decade is eternal, that even when he's not around that much these days, there are others that took his rein. Who knows if there would be more of this in the future. 😆 That being said, this makes Legend as a non-mainstream legacy gimmick Rider besides Zein and Fifteen (I wish he would appear again, especially for Gaim's 10th Anniversary project as a good guy). I also noticed that Legend combines all aspects of the mainstream legacy Riders: - Decade: the base design and usage of cards, not to mention Rider form changes and summons - Zi-O: overall gold and regal aesthetics - Revice: addition of animal theme, being a lion Chemy in this case

[@monsunoguy19]

I never really liked the Gotchardriver- so when I heard there would be a belt that just uses one card I was sold before I even knew the motif. Theeeen I saw the Legendriver, didn't like how much it looked like the Beast Driver, but I got over it. My Legendriver is now waiting for me at home.

[@gomamon8439]

We already know multiple dimensions and timelines exist in Kamen Rider. I'm assuming Legend is linked to Decade and Zi-o as well as the "possible" future that was shown in Gotchard. So I'm assuming Legend got Gotchard's card from possible future Hotaro. We already know the Gotchard timeline has shifted.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

Kaguya is a literal definition of the phrase “the hero always shows up late”

[@meric12131415]

My favourite part about legends driver is the fact it say chimy ride and it's voiced by Mark ota which is even more impressive 😁

[@QuyenDang-u8z]

the reason for the lack of plot depht is because legend supposed to debut in got hard in the first place. But after some planning they decided to debut him in a spin off first then put him in the series later on because of the motif

[@thomasjujube]

Do you have a source for that or is it made up
