My radiant lord, Houou Kaguya Quartz — also known as Legend — used the Aurora Curtain to summon Kamen Rider Gotchard!
Will my lord be able to save the world from Hundred, while making Gotchard gorgeous?
Now, it's gorgeous time!
With Hundred moving in to make another attack on Houou's world, Houou makes it his duty to make Houtaro "gorgeous". Meanwhile, Houtaro is put off by Houou's uppity attitude, but then he learns of a shocking revelation to why the rich Kamen Rider is like that.
Tropes
- Mythology Gag:
- Kaguya namedrops Saber and Geats as fellow stylish Riders.
- The four Legend Rider cards Gotchard uses are Double, OOO, Fourze, and Build. All four Riders used Drivers with multiple slots for Transformation Trinkets.
- Kajiki digs up an urban myth about a genius with an IQ of 600 being kidnapped, which is actually the backstory of the original Kamen Rider.
- The Reveal: Kaguya's resemblance to Decade in his Rider system isn't a coincidence; Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade saved him from a Kasshine invasion as a child, and he was inspired to become a hero in his image. Additionally, while this makes Kaguya's backstory a bit mucky in the present (since Tsukasa has a white Decadriver even though the Kasshines have never traveled any farther back than 2018), there is one pre-existing work that this could align with without further complicating things: Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer.
- Sequel Hook: The episode ends with the defeated Boss of Hundred swearing that he will return, and Kaguya hinting that he and Houtarou will meet again one day.
- Stealth Sequel: This episode implies the series is a Distant Sequel to Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer, as Kaguya designed Legend from a memory of Decade saving him as a child during an invasion that most closely resembles that film's events.
