*Starting from episode 17, the opening utilizes the collaborative version of CHEMY×STORY feat. FLOW. Many changes have also been made to the visuals to reflect the events that will occur in the series:
**The opening narration has been altered to include the 3 main Kamen Riders. 
**At the beginning, the scene where the Chemy is being created is shortened, followed by Kamen Rider Gotchard, Kamen Rider Majade and Kamen Rider Valvarad gathering around with Gotchard as they prepare to dash with an explosion happening in the background. It swapped out the original scene featuring the Chemies and Houtaro.
**The scene of Houtaro riding Golddash has been altered to now pulse accordingly to the beat of the intro with some scenes of him riding slightly moved around.
**With the scene of Minato passing the Furasu High School students' while erasing their memories, it now features a new scene of him at a low angle, showing his betrayal.
**The scene of everyone showing their Alchemist Rings, it now features Rinne's orange ring.
**With the scene featuring The Three Dark Sisters, it now shows them being encased inside Glion's yellow Rubik's cube. Each twist of the cube shows the face each sister, until it connects to Glion, which he takes the cube.
**After Glion's scene, three colored arrows cut into the screen with it being colored purple, cyan, and orange followed by a newly filmed scenes of Supana and Rinne's transformation scene being placed next to houtaro with all 3 shouting "Henshin!".
**The scene of Valvarad fighting Lachesis has now been replaced by Kamen Rider Majade fighting with Kamen Rider Dread.
**The scene of Gotchard and Rinne fighting Clotho has been now replaced by Kamen Rider Valvarad fighting with Kamen Rider Dread.
**Fire Gotchard is now added to the Ride Chemy Cards flipping scene, notably, Kamen Rider Fire Gotchard Daybreak quickly appearing after Fire Gotchard's reveal, foreshadowing his true identity.
**The short battle clip during the chorus now features flashbacks of some of the important moments that Houtaro has experienced, before cutting into Kamen Rider Gotchard Daybreak fighting Kamen Rider Dread.
**The next scene of Valvarad fighting all Three Dark Sisters in an abandoned power plant has been changed into Super Gotchard UFOX and XRex's fighting scenes.
**Originally Rinne was smiling during the scene of the second Ride Chemy Cards flipped to her, and is now swapped her school uniform into her Alchemist Uniform, now she directly transforms into Kamen Rider Majade. Supana also now transform into Kamen Rider Valvarad instead of Valvarad, showing his transition into a Kamen Rider.
**In the end, the scene where Gotchard is riding Golddash is now replaced by the 3 main Kamen Riders' running into the camera, most prominently featuring Gotchard at the center with his Vector Eye's lighting up.
