I did NOT think I was going to be so into them when I started watching but their personality is truly unmatched

"okay, so, our main rider generates these cute little snack food minions every time he eats an actual snack. how do we make it okay that he then has to eat the cute minions to transform or power up?"
"how about we make them CRAVE THE GLORY OF DEATH IN BATTLE"

these lil fucks are SO BLOODTHIRSTY

they WANT shoma to eat them. it is their LIFE'S GOAL to render up their essence to empower him. they're happy to hang out and otherwise assist him in the meantime but every single one of these lil guys is Seeking Valhalla

never 4get the time a chocodan kicked a poppingummy out of the gavv so it could be eaten instead

the gochizo have a little speeder they can load themselves in to fire themselves off gavv's sword into the enemy.
this does no damage but they want to do it so bad anyway.

if gochizos could wield weapons no one would be safe

I LOVE HOW USELESS THE GOCHIZO LAUNCHER IS

THERE'S NO REASON FOR SHOMA TO USE IT, EVER, BUT THEY WANT TO DO IT SO BAD

if a gochizo got its hands on like. a sewing needle. it would be trying to jab that shit into a granute's toe with the fury of a vengeful god.

they're adorable little snacky berserkers.

also good: because of how Gavv works, the battlefield often gets littered with gummy droplets, melted chocolate, etc.

and if you pay attention you can often see the gochizos eating those

the first time he uses the chocolate form, with its chocolate-shooting gun, you can see a little ring of gochizos around the edge of every chocolate splatter, gobbling it up

CONSUME THE FLESH OF YOUR FALLEN BRETHREN, GOCHIZO

IT WILL MAKE YOUR SOULS MORE DELICIOUS AS THE VALENKYRIES CARRY YOU TO SNACKHALLA

they're just so fucking enthusiastic about involving themselves in every POSSIBLE aspect of Gavv's battles

I just love them so much

make a sacrifice-based transformation system okay by leaning extra hard into how fucked up it is as a concept

like yeah! it IS fucked up that Shoma has to consume an apparently-sapient little creature that he himself birthed out of his alien stomach mouth every time he needs to transform or power up! that is a fucked up thing to be happening!!

fortunately the gochizos are all extremely into that

I keep imagining like. what if precure follows this. little fairies who desire nothing more than the brutal destruction of the Baddark Kingdom

god

"the Evilbad Empire is attacking to take the happiness away from people! become a precure and destroy them"

you're taking the bloodthirsty angle, while I'm trying to figure out how precure could manage the sacrificial angle

ever-replenishing army of little fairylings who are basically ammo/fuel for the precures' weapons

"the Meanies Market is flooding the world with bad money that drains people's happiness! you must become a precure and crush them thoroughly and revel in their blood"

maybe if it was a little squad of the same fairies who just like, regenerate every time they're used as powerups. like the fairy's spirit is untouched by the whole process and their bodies are fully expendable

at worst they're annoyed if you spend them on a big attack that misses

but yeah I just. gavv team is really cooking. absolutely unmatched minion sauce.

I cannot wait tomeet the new ones and see them argue amongst each other for the right to glorious battle

also like. surely, at some point, shoma is going to AT LEAST figure out that Valen is using his chocodons

and, since obviously he and Valen are both on the same side 100% with no potential conflicts waiting in the wings, will give the chocodons his blessing to go help Valen whenever he needs them

the chocodons, of course, will need no more than this to sacrifice themselves for Valen every bit as enthusiastically as they do for Shoma

... do you think Hanto's gonna be kinda weirded out by that
