Plot

Hotaro Ichinose is a student at Furasu High School. One day, he discovers a secret school for alchemists in training called the Alchemy Academy beneath the school’s premises and meets alchemist Fuga Kudo, who entrusts him with the Gotchard Driver, allowing him to transform into Kamen Rider Gotchard.

He tasks Hotaro with recollecting the Chemy, artificial lifeforms created using Alchemy that were released in the wild 10 years ago and, if left unchecked, can transform into monsters called Malgam after being corrupted by human malice.

Assisting Hotaro in his task to retrieve the Chemy is Fuga’s daughter Rinne, a student at the Alchemy Academy. Spana Kurogane, a graduate from the academy who views the Chemy as nothing more than tools and transforms into the warrior Valvarad, was also tasked with retrieving the Chemy and is a rival to Hotaro, who wants to befriend them.

They are opposed by the Three Dark Sisters: Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis, who intend to use the Chemy for their own purposes.
