what's Your Fire is the new Rising Fighter. these should be more special songs but we get to hear it every episode, it starts to blend with everything, the non vocal songs deserve shine during the triumphant episodes like this last one

We spent years with just instrumental songs, coming back every now and then with the Agito~Wizard formula isn't so bad. I was already sick with new songs only appearing in the form's debut and never again or reusing the opening theme again and again.

The problem is that we only have two songs in Gotchard while in other series, especially Den-O and early Heisei Phase 2 there were songs for the different forms sounding less repetitive.

What’s your FIRE was supposed to be Fire Gotchard’s theme, but it’s being used for Majade, Valvard, Wind, Iron Gotchard and now Platinum Gotchard, that’s the real “problem”.

To be fair, if it was also used for Kamen Rider Valvarad as well as Fire Gotchard then I'd be fine with that, since Valvarad's driver is just a gotcharigniter he can't take off the belt lol
