The final episode of “Kamen Rider Gatchard” (broadcast on TV Asahi) aired on Sunday, August 25, 2024. This work is the latest work that depicts the aftermath of the TV series.
Additionally, teaser visuals, special trailers, and theme song information have been released.
The title of the newly released work is “GRADUATIONS.” Kamen Rider Rainbow Gatchard (center), Kamen Rider Twilight Majeed (back right), and Kamen Rider Valbarad Kurogane (back left) are standing side by side in front of the gates of Furasu High School, where cherry blossom petals are fluttering about and a graduation ceremony sign is placed, giving the impression of “graduation.”
The copy reads “Graduation, and towards each individual’s tomorrow,” creating an emotional visual that sets it apart from previous V-Cinema Next works.
The trailer begins with the touching words of Minato-sensei, “Congratulations on your graduation, everyone,” as only the sound of a bell rings, revealing that it is graduation day.
As the main character, Ichinose Houtarou, narrates, “Once you graduate, it all feels like it goes by in the blink of an eye,” the video shows the happy expressions of his friends, Spanner, Kyouka, Renge, and Sabimaru, while ending with a meaningful line from Kudou Rinne, who has fought alongside him, saying in a serious tone, “There’s something I need to tell you, Ichinose… Actually…”
What did Rinne want to tell Houtarou? And what is the meaning behind the last S in the title “GRADUATIONS”? Please look forward to the reveal in the future.
Following the TV series, BACK-ON will be in charge of the theme song for this film, adding a touch of glamour to the story of Gatchard’s final graduation.
