Transformation Belt DX Gotcha Driver

The fifth 2023 Rider film, "Masked Rider Gatchard," tells the story of the "Ride Chemie Card," which seals 101 artificial life forms called "Chemies" created through alchemy. The main character transforms into Masked Rider Gatchard by using the transformation belt "Gatchard Driver" to gatch (combine) two "Ride Chemie Cards".

Product Features
Select two cards and use the Transformation Belt to transform into Kamen Rider Gotchard!

The "Transformation Belt DX GUTCHARDRIVER" is an item that allows you to enjoy transforming into Masked Rider GUTCHARD by clanking the two "Ride Chemie Trekkers" cards together.
The user selects two cards that go well together from more than 100 types of "Ride Chemie Trekkers" and clanks them together with the transformation belt.
