Plot
editHoutaro Ichinose is a student at Furasu High School who one day discovers the Alchemist Academy, a secret school for alchemists, beneath the school. Alchemist Fuga Kudo gives him the GotcharDriver, which gives him the power to transform into Kamen Rider Gotchard, and entrusts him with retrieving the Chemies. These artificial lifeforms were released a decade ago and can fuse with humans to become humanoid monsters called Malgams.
Fuga's daughter Rinne, a student at the Academy who transforms into Kamen Rider Majade, assists him in his task. He is also assisted by Supana Kurogane, a graduate of the Academy who transforms into Kamen Rider Valvarad. He was given the same task, but initially sees the Chemies as tools and serves as a rival to Houtaro, who wants to befriend them. They are opposed by the Three Dark Sisters: Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis, who intend to use the Chemies for their master, Glion, while creating Kamen Rider Dread systems to counter the Riders. It is later revealed that Fuga's betrayal was due to his discovery of a conspiracy within the Alchemist Union related to Glion's plans. When Glion finally carries out his plan to destroy the world, the Riders are aided by the time-traveling Kamen Rider Gotchard Daybreak, who is revealed to be an alternate version of Houtaro from a future where Glion succeeded in his plan to turn the world into gold. The Riders defeat Glion, who is devoured by the same monster he tried to summon for the sake of his plans.
After Glion's death, the Dark Sisters are joined by Gigist, one of the "Dark Kings" and the creator of the first two Chemies. Ho-Oh Kaguya Quartz briefly reunites with Houtaro from his world to fight Hundred under Kamen Rider Legend when they invade Houtaro's world. To counter Gigist, Houtaro unlocks the true power of the 101st Chemy, Nijigon, which was hidden inside the GotcharDriver to transform into his ultimate form, Rainbow Gotchard. Germain and Gaelijah, two other Dark Kings, also appear and intend to claim a piece of the Philosopher's Stone, the ultimate alchemic artifact, which is contained within Nijigon. The Dark Sisters take advantage of the confrontation between the Dark Kings and the Riders to revive Glion, who was devoured by Germain, by having him emerge from Germain's body and take it over and obtain his powers. Gaelijah and Gigist are destroyed by Rinne and Supana respectively and their powers are also absorbed by Glion, who uses them to transform into Kamen Rider Eldo and to turn the entire world into gold. Houtaro unlocks the true power of his alchemy and uses it to defeat Glion for good and restore the world, while creating a replica of Earth where the Chemies can live in peace.
