Houtarou is a high school student in search of his own "Gotcha" (something unique to him). However, he is still in a daze, unable to even decide on a career path. His classmate Rinne looks down on him.

Then, Houtarou meets a grasshopper. "I don't know what it is, but when I'm with you, I feel a stirring in my heart..." Then, Steamliner suddenly appears and takes Houtarou to another space. In the other space, a mysterious man entrusts Houtarou with a Driver, saying it is his hope for the future. Then an enemy attacks!

The target is Houtarou's Driver. Houtarou loads the card into the Driver! He transforms into Kamen Rider Gotchard..!

"There's something I'd like to ask of you, Ichinose."

Houtaro is asked by Rinne, who has a thoughtful look on her face, to confide in him about a certain problem of hers. Just what exactly is on her mind?

Then the two are dispatched to the appearance of a new Level 10, X-Rex. Houtaro and Rinne attempt to tame it but encounter a little girl instead...

Houtaro and Rinne are disappointed in a world where not only the Alchemy Academy, but also their teacher Minato does not exist. The Moon Malgam then appears in front of the two and mocks Rinne where it takes her into the shadows.

"What should I do to become stronger and defeat the Moon Malgam?", asks a worried Houtaro.

Gotchard Daybreak then replies. "I will transport you to the past."

Just what is in Houtaro's past? What should he do there?

"Kudo! Fight like you are!"

With the advice of Minato, Houtaro and Rinne manage to escape their predicament, but Rinne's feelings and the future of the "Romeo and Juliet" production become uncertain.

Furthermore, Atropos appears with a new Malgam. Houtaro and Rinne transform into Riders, but Majade strikes them with a powerful blow...!

Houtaro and others show Kyoka the completely white Skebows. They want to somehow regenerate Skebows! Houtaro and the others look at it as if praying, and Kyoka...!?

Hopper1 sets off alone on a journey to find "something" to cheer up Houtaro. Meanwhile, Gigist has taken Antrooper from Houtaro and turned it into a Malgam. The Malgam attacks people, and Houtaro and the others...!?
