Gate of Darkness opened.
Geryon ambition is to turn everything into gold.
Looks ridiculous but, if you look back to Hasegawa been using wordplay of forbidden technique (kinjutsu) with gold (kin), also gold is ultimate goal of alchemy IRL;
What Geryon meant here is absolute domination, to paint world in his color. Hopefully some subs out there notice this because going literal with making everything gold will be weird.
Geryon transform into Dread Type-2 using Steamliner + Daioni.
Renge and Sabimaru do their best to ensure Clotho and Atropos not supporting Geryon.
Love-hate relationship with seasonal movie continues.
After Majade, Platinum Gotchard is made by X-Wizard channeling Lv. 10 Chemies power to create CrossHopper, similar to Star Combination.
Those not going to theater won't understand why X-Wizard and X-Chemies other than UFO, Rex, Gaiard and Dragonalos already befriended Hotaro.
I like that it left impression Iron Gotchard is poor man's work, now fixed by someone who know the job better (X-Wizard).
From writing standpoint, this is the way to obtain upgrade without mastering ancient alchemy without Fuga in five minutes, still using power of friendship too.
Geryon transform into Dread Type-3 using Steamliner + Unicorn + Daioni
Platinum Gotchard appear with Iron Gotchard cast-off; purged Liner rearrange on its body.
Geryon defeated and get eaten by three-eyes demon inside the gate.
Lachesis now siding with Minato, Kyouka and Spanner (senior faction); Clotho still following Atropos who said its not over yet, taking Geryon's gold rubiks now looks like a beating heart. No next episode preview and it difficult to say it doesn't felt rushed, as if saying "Toys arc finally over, only one upgrade left and we still have 22 episodes left."
