Having obtained all the Philosopher's Stones, Glion (Kenta Kamakari) summons the Dreatrooper army. After turning Minato (Rikuto Kumaki) and Kyoka (Saki Fukuda) into gold, he begins forging the Eldorado.

Houtarou (Junsei Motoshima) declares his unwavering determination to his worried mother, Tamami (Yoko Minamino), stating that he must fight to create a future where humans and Chemies can live together. Understanding Houtarou's resolve, Tamami encourages him with powerful words to keep pushing forward until the end.

Houtarou heads to the final battleground with Rinne (Reiyo Matsumoto), Spanner (Yasunari Fujibayashi), and Renge (Oto Abe), along with Sabimaru (Rikiya Tomizono). Once transformed into Riders, they face off against the massive Dreatrooper army.

Gotchard entrusts the battle against the Dreatroopers to Majade and others and heads towards the golden cube where Glion is located. Despite a tough fight, with the three Dark Kings and Majade struggling, Wind joins the battle, helping them regain momentum.

Inside the cube, Houtarou encounters Clotho (Kanon Miyahara), who had previously fought Glion and was defeated. With Clotho slowly vanishing, Houtarou receives her wishes and transforms into Rainbow Gotchard. Glion also transforms into Eld to confront him.

As Gotchard fights alongside the Gotcha Brothers, Nijigon is turned to gold, causing the Gotcha Brothers to revert into cards. Additionally, Cross Hopper and Tenliner are turned to gold, forcing them to de-transform.

Eld enlarges a massive number of Dreatroopers using the golden Nijigon. As Houtarou, Rinne, and all the others turn to gold, Eld completes the Eldorado and revels in his victory.

However, Houtarou, carrying the wishes of Rinne, Spanner, and everyone else, slowly approaches Eld despite being turned to gold. Breaking through the golden shell, Houtarou delivers a powerful strike, declaring, "I will never give up! Because I'm Kamen Rider Gotchard!" He then forges a new Gotchard Driver, transforming into the new Gotchard Ultimate Steam Hopper.

Even Eld, shocked by Ultimate Gotchard's power, attempts to counterattack, but after a fierce Rider Kick, Gotchard, backed by the Chemies, toasts to victory. Glion de-transforms and vanishes.

With peace restored, the new Earth forged by Houtarou in his battle with Glion becomes the Chemies' habitat. Will humans be able to live on this new Earth as well? Houtarou and his team begin investigating with smiles, taking a significant step towards a world where humans and Chemies coexist.

Finally, 'Kamen Rider Gotchard' concludes with a grand finale in its last episode. Fans took to social media, commenting, "I never expected them to forge a new Earth," and "Thank you for the most 'Gotcha' year ever!"
