1 | "Youth-Ful Trans-Formation" "Sei Shun Hen Shin" (青・春・変・身) | Kazuki Nakashima | September 4, 2011 |
The new school year begins at Amanogawa High School as Kengo Utahoshi encounters a strange delinquent who chides him for throwing a girl's love letter into the river. Later, at Ms. Sarina Sonoda's homeroom class while he using a Burgermeal Foodroid to analyze strange energy readings, Kengo encounters the delinquent as he introduces himself to the class as the new transfer student Gentaro Kisaragi. Despite his scary appearance, Gentaro is a nice guy as he recognizes his childhood friend Yuki Jojima, greeting each other with a special handshake, before giving the soaked letter to Kengo with intentions of being Kengo's friend. Refusing to accept Gentaro's offers of friendship, Kengo walks out of class, much to Ms. Sonoda's dismay. Tracking down Kengo, Gentaro arrives at the cafeteria where he meets JK while making enemies out of the head cheerleader Miu Kazashiro and her boyfriend Shun Daimonji, the captain of the American football team. Gentaro proceeds to defend himself from the football team before he is forced to let himself be Shun's tackle dummy when Yuki is captured. However, a monster appears from out of nowhere and attacks the group. The football team runs for it as Gentaro fights the monster, but he is seemingly knocked out. Kengo arrives to even the odds in an exo-suit called the Powerdizer, and Yuki identifies the monster as the Orion Zodiarts. Physically strained from using the suit, Kengo is unable to pursue the escaping monster. After putting the Powerdizer away, Kengo and Yuki enter a concealed locker that transports them to the Rabbit Hatch lunar base, with Kengo intending to use the Fourze Driver. However, the two discover that they were followed by Gentaro who takes the Fourze Driver, instead, while elsewhere the Orion Zodiarts resumes his attack on the school. With Kengo unable to chase him due to his health, Yuki finds Gentaro as he faces the Orion Zodiarts and directs him to transform into Fourze. Fourze and the Zodiarts begin fighting in the men's locker room before Fourze uses the Rocket Module to force the Orion Zodiarts off campus. Gentaro begins to get used to the abilities of Fourze, with Kengo's directions in using the different Astroswitches, before he uses a combination of the Rocket and Drill Switches to initiate the Rocket Drill Kick Limit Break, defeating the Orion Zodiarts. However, the victory falls short when Kengo arrives in the Powerdizer once more with the intent to take the Fourze Driver back from Gentaro by force. Elsewhere, a mysterious man with red eyes is upset that Fourze is in his school as he is joined by a trio of Zodiarts.[1] | |||
2 | "Space Is Amaz-Ing" "U Chū Jō Tō" (宇・宙・上・等) | Kazuki Nakashima | September 11, 2011 |
Becoming Fourze to save the school, Gentaro seemingly defeats the Orion Zodiarts. However, he is attacked by Kengo in the Powerdizer before Yuki gets them to stop fighting. Taking the Fourze Driver from Gentaro, seeing him while explaining what Zodiarts are, Kengo informs him that he failed to turn off the Zodiarts Switch that is used by a Switcher, a person who becomes a Zodiarts. Kengo takes his leave to track the Switcher down as Gentaro vows to find the Switcher. But as the trio take their leave, a mysterious figure picks up the Orion Switch and returns it to its Switcher. The next day, after a few misadventures of searching the campus for the Switcher, including fighting a group of delinquent students, Gentaro goes into the Rabbit Hatch to find something for a lead and accidentally opens a blast shield, moved by the sight of the Earth. After informing him that they are on the moon, Yuki and Gentaro don space suits to do a lunar walk. Yuki takes Gentaro to what remains of an OSTO lunar base that was destroyed seventeen years ago in the theft of the Zodiarts Switches, and the explosion took the life of Kengo's father. Finding Kengo as he is practicing on the Machine Massigler motorcycle, Gentaro tells him what he saw and offers to aid Kengo to the best of his abilities. By then, Gentaro gets a call about the monster's location at the campus stadium. With Yuki, he arrives at the stadium to find the caller, first-year goth girl Tomoko Nozama. However, Tomoko reveals that she has only traced a death threat posted to the school's website to the IP address of the man behind the Orion Zodiarts: Toshiya Miura. Gentaro finds Miura just as he is about to kill Shun, revealing that he is tired of being the football team's lackey and wants to play in a game. Gentaro tries to persuade him not to use the Orion Switch, but Shun pushes Miura over the edge, leading him to activate the Zodiarts Switch after it transforms into its Last One form. His mind transferred into the body of the Orion Zodiarts as he begins his attack. With the girls taking Shun to safely, Kengo arrives and gives Gentaro the Fourze Driver to allow him to become Fourze again. As Shun takes his leave, saying that he will pretend that he has seen nothing, Fourze holds the Orion Zodiarts at bay with the Machine Massigler as Kengo uses his Burgermeal Foodroid to analyze it to find the Orion Switch. Once he discovers its location on the monster's body, Kengo tells Gentaro that he will have to get rid of the Zodiarts, but he can only do it in safe location: up in the air. He turns the Powerdizer into its Tower Mode, firing a series of missiles at the Orion Zodiarts to get it airborne so Fourze can hit it with the Massigler as it blasts off into the upper atmosphere. Fourze hits the Orion Zodiarts with the Rocket Drill Space Kick, destroying the creature safely, leaving only the Zodiarts Switch behind. After using the Parachute Switch to get a soft landing, Fourze switches off the Zodiarts Switch, causing it to disappear, and gains Miura's friendship. As they are about to get Miura medical attention, Tomoko calls Fourze a "Kamen Rider", showing the others footage of numerous heroes with that title on an urban legend website. Gentaro is inspired to set up the Kamen Rider Club, a club that fights off the Zodiarts and aims to befriend the legendary Kamen Riders. Being made one of the club's first members, Kengo gets second thoughts of making Gentaro the Fourze Driver's user.[2] | |||
3 | "Queen E-Lec-Tion" "Jo Ō Sen Kyo" (女・王・選・挙) | Kazuki Nakashima | September 18, 2011 |
After Gentaro fails in controlling the Hopping Switch, the newest Astroswitch Kengo has managed to create, he and Yuki head off to class together when he sees a group of students making a commotion. Yuki tells him that it is almost the annual Queen Festival, a talent show and speech contest that determines who is the head of the female student body, and a contest that Miu always wins. When Miu arrives, accepting gifts from the other students, Gentaro approaches her, seeking her friendship. She turns him down until he makes a bet with her; if she loses the Queen Festival this year, she will have to be his friend. Miu agrees on the condition that if she wins, he will have to transfer out of AGHS. With the plan in motion, Gentaro goes out looking for information on someone who can win, forced into fighting the delinquents again before being pointed towards JK. After JK formally introduces himself, he begrudgingly accepts Gentaro's friendship as his price upon seeing the unconscious delinquents. With JK's help, Gentaro tries to convince fellow student Reiko Hirota to enter the contest, until "Don't Enter the Queen Festival" (クイーンフェスには出るな Kuīn Fesu ni wa Deru na) appear on a blackboard behind them and Reiko is attacked by an unseen force. Gentaro gets her out of the room before he transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze, revealing the culprit to be the Chameleon Zodiarts, empowered by the sign of Chamaeleon. Before he can fight, another Zodiarts appears, allowing the Chamaelon Zodiarts to escape. As Kamen Rider Fourze takes the fight with the mysterious Zodiarts outside, Kengo arrives to tell JK to keep his mouth shut about what he has just seen. Outside, Kamen Rider Fourze is being easily beaten by the mysterious Zodiarts, which Kengo realizes is the one linked to the Scorpius sign and it is much more powerful than the others, and tells Gentaro to use the Astroswitches to beat him. Gentaro picks the Hopping Switch, and still cannot control it, allowing the Zodiarts to take his leave. Though Kengo attempts to take Hopping Switch away from him for its uselessness, Gentaro refuses to give it up as he tells Kengo that everything has a use. When he goes to find Reiko, she tells him she will not enter, as Miu comes by on a jog. Gentaro realizes he only has one option left: Yuki. He catches up with her at the JAXA center after school with Kengo's help, although Kengo's only reason for Yuki to enter the contest is to find the Zodiarts, and they get her to do it. At Miu's house, her sidekicks Tamae Sakuma and Jun Shigeno are enjoying the various gifts Miu has been given, but Miu destroys them and throws them into the trash bin, showing her distaste in the other students, Gentaro in particular for his ideals. The next day, everyone gathers in the auditorium to watch the Queen Festival talent portion. Yuki puts on a performance based on the mission of the Hayabusa satellite, resulting in jeers from everyone in the audience except for Tomoko. Gentaro tries to cheer her up backstage, but Miu puts her down as she takes the stage with her sidekicks to a cheering audience, all the while a video compilation plays. At the end of the performance, Tamae suddenly begins to act like she is being choked and she runs off stage. Kengo and Gentaro realize that the Chameleon Zodiarts must be attacking, again, and Gentaro claps together two erasers to reveal the Chameleon Zodiarts in a cloud of chalk dust. The Zodiarts attacks Miu before running outside, with Gentaro on its tail and transforming into Kamen Rider Fourze. Although the Chameleon Zodiarts has the upperhand throughout most of the fight, Kamen Rider Fourze uses the Hopping Switch successfully to turn the tides, before he executes a Rocket Drill Kick on the Zodiarts. However, it escapes before he can land the kick. Back in the auditorium, Miu pleads to let the performance continue until the video feed turns on, showing her actions in regards to the gifts from yesterday. With everyone angry that she does not appreciate them, Miu stands on stage speechless, being yelled at by everyone as Kamen Rider Fourze returns from the fight.[3] | |||
4 | "Trans-Formation Se-Cret" "Hen Gen An Yaku" (変・幻・暗・躍) | Kazuki Nakashima | September 25, 2011 |
Watching the events of Miu losing the student body's love unfold, Kamen Rider Fourze realizes the Chameleon Zodiarts planned that turn of events from the beginning as the monster takes its leave. Gentaro arrives back to the auditorium just as Tamae limps back on stage. Gentaro asks Miu if she is okay, but she lashes out at him and leaves. Meanwhile, a smile forms on Tamae's face as she holds a Zodiarts Switch out of sight. The next day, after Yuki worries about her low scoring, Gentaro leaves the classroom out of frustration, and Kengo realizes that the Zodiarts's target is Miu with either of her sidekicks to benefit the most on her loss. But as Yuki points out that both sidekicks were attacked, Kengo leaves class to study what Burgermeal caught on its camera for clues. When Miu heads to her locker, Tamae suggests that she drop out of the contest rather than lose it, to which she lashes out at her for feeling sorry for her. She goes outside to ask Shun to talk with her, as Tamae tells Jun to pick sides after she starts to feel bad for Miu. Kengo heads to the Rabbit Hatch to look over Burgermeal's footage when he sees Gentaro practicing using the Hopping Module outside. He commends Gentaro on how hard he works, which reminds him of Miu. After accosting JK for information, Gentaro finds Miu at the school's bowling alley. Miu thinks he is there to gloat on winning the bet, as she is planning on dropping out of the contest, when Gentaro encourages her not to quit and to give a speech to override the video. However, the Chameleon Zodiarts appears and attacks them until Kengo arrives to reveal that the Zodiarts is actually Tamae. She reveals herself, saying remorsefully that she was only jealous of how Miu had always won and that the Scorpion Zodiarts gave her the Switch so she could win. Miu goes to comfort her when she transforms, again, attacking Miu and leaving her seriously hurt. Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze to chase after her, until the Scorpion Zodiarts intervenes and lets her escape. At a hospital later that night, Yuki suggests that they tell the school to cancel the competition, but Gentaro tells her they cannot. The next day, after taking Shun's bouquet for show and reminding Jun not to outshine her, Tamae prepares for the Queen Festival finals. As the competition begins, the emcee calls on Miu to take the stage, but Tamae says that she has run away, and she will be a better queen than she was by not thinking highly of herself and leaving when things get out of hand. However, Miu arrives and reveals that she only hated the gifts because the students should not work to impress her but work to make themselves better, and the person who makes herself the best is the one fit to be Queen. She and Gentaro shake each other's hands in Gentaro's unique way. The student body applauds her, as Tamae walks off stage to use the Zodiarts Switch once more, even though it has made its Last One announcement. Kengo tries to talk her out of using it, but she activates it and leaves her body behind. She abducts Miu out of the auditorium, and Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze and gives chase. However, he cannot land a punch as the Chameleon Zodiarts uses Miu as a human shield, and then threatens to throw her off of an overpass unless Gentaro ends his transformation. Miu uses the opportunity to taunt Tamae being nothing more than a wannabe, pushing the Zodiarts over the edge when she throws Miu off of the bridge. However, realizing Miu's reason for it, Kamen Rider Fourze has activated the Magichand Module and catches her, before finally destroying the Chameleon Zodiarts with the Rider Rocket Drill Kick and turning off the Zodiarts Switch. As Tamae awakes, Gentaro asks to be her friend until Miu pushes him out of the way and encourages Tamae to work harder if she wants to win next year. Later in the Rabbit Hatch, Yuki is upset that Miu has won for a third year in a row and that she never got to give her speech, when Gentaro comes in with Miu. In order to stay in school, Gentaro has told Miu about the Kamen Rider Club and made her a member. Miu explains that a Queen needs to know all of the school's secrets and she makes herself the club president. Yuki gets upset, because she has been in the club longer and has seniority. As the girls argue, Kengo leaves Gentaro to clean up the mess he has made.[4] | |||
5 | "Friend-Ship Two-Faced" "Yū Jō Hyō Ri" (友・情・表・裏) | Kazuki Nakashima | October 2, 2011 |
Before Mr. Chuta Ohsugi's geography class starts, JK barges into the classroom and invites Gentaro to his JK Night party, but Gentaro turns down the invitation as he does not think he and JK should be friends yet. Elsewhere, a student is practicing his fencing, angry at someone, when the Scorpion Zodiarts appears and gives him a Zodiarts Switch to seek his revenge. At lunchtime, Miu is eating with Jun in the courtyard until Shun arrives and tries to cozy up to Miu, but she is still upset over what happened during the Queen Festival. When Shun insults Gentaro and the others, Miu rebuffs him and leaves to the Rabbit Hatch, where she enjoys a moonwalk before Kengo calls her back into the base. She eats her lunch, activating the Potechokin Foodroid after she accidentally picks it up, and Kengo reveals he has been working on the Elek Switch which has more power than the other Astroswitches. Back at the school in the cafeteria, after Tomoko creeps out Yuki and mysteriously disappears, JK continues to try to persuade Gentaro to attend his party, even introducing him to his friend Megumyon who begins to fawn over Gentaro. When JK sees a student walk into the cafeteria, he quickly leaves, confusing Gentaro. Outside, the student whom JK identifies as Nitta confronts him and transforms into the Zodiarts to get his revenge on JK. When Gentaro and Yuki see JK run past the cafeteria window with a look of fear on his face, they head outside and see the Zodiarts, which Yuki identifies as the Monoceros-based Unicorn Zodiarts, just as JK manages to elude him. Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze, and is able to keep the Zodiarts at bay by slamming him with the Rocket Module and flying high up into the air, just as Miu and Kengo appear to give Gentaro the Elek Switch, although Yuki and Miu fight over which of them should do so. After the Zodiarts and Kamen Rider Fourze land, Potechokin gives Kamen Rider Fourze the Elek Switch, enabling him to fight off the Unicorn Zodiarts much more efficiently. However, with each hit Kamen Rider Fourze is hit by a strong electrical feedback, allowing the Unicorn Zodiarts to escape. After the fight, Gentaro remarks on how it feels like the Elek Switch is trying to take him over, as JK watches from behind a corner with interest. Back at the Rabbit Hatch, Kengo begins to feel that Miu is not pulling her weight in the club, but she says that as the leader she is to support the others. He reveals that he has completed the Beat and Chainarray Switches, when Yuki suddenly exclaims she has discovered that the Switcher is Fumihiro Nitta, a student in JK's class. Meanwhile, Gentaro has arrived at the karaoke box where JK is holding his party. Gentaro is impressed at how JK can gather so many friends and decides that he was wrong and decides to befriend him, just as JK introduces him to Takahiro and Nitta appears in the hallway. Upon realizing that the Zodiarts must be after JK, Miu tells Yuki to take the two new Astroswitches and get them to Gentaro at the party, who is now facing off against the Unicorn Zodiarts as Kamen Rider Fourze, once more. Yuki manages to get to the party, and gives Kamen Rider Fourze the Beat and Chainarray Switches, which are effective against the Unicorn Zodiarts. However, removing his horse-face as it becomes a sabre, the Unicorn Zodiarts uses his fencing prowess to overpower Kamen Rider Fourze. Kengo contacts Gentaro to use the Elek Switch, but Gentaro cannot find it on him. Elsewhere, JK praises Takahiro for pick-pocketing the Elek Switch off of Gentaro while Megumyon distracted him, all the while berating Gentaro for his concept of friendship.[5] | |||
6 | "Blitz-Krieg Only Way" "Den Geki It To" (電・撃・一・途) | Kazuki Nakashima | October 9, 2011 |
Not finding the Elek Switch on himself, Kamen Rider Fourze is at the mercy of the Unicorn Zodiarts until Nitta cancels his transformation and takes his leave, while promising no mercy if Kamen Rider Fourze meddles again. When Yuki asks why he did not use the Elek Switch, Gentaro changes the subject to look for it. Overseeing the fight, the Scorpion Zodiarts meets with the red-eyed man to discuss the Unicorn Zodiarts's sudden evolution in relation to being near Kamen Rider Fourze. The next day, after a day of school while avoiding Kengo on the matter of the Elek Switch, Gentaro meets up JK to look for the item. Eventually, the two run into Nitta after he interrogates Takahiro and Megumyon on JK's location. Nitta then reveals to Gentaro that JK had used him as a bodyguard in the past, costing him a fencing tournament prior to learning that he was used. As Nitta activates his Zodiarts Switch, Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze to keep the Unicorn Zodiarts from JK. But during the fight, when he tries to run for his life, JK trips over and is exposed as the thief of the Elek Switch and that he only used Gentaro to keep Nitta at bay. In shock at the betrayal, Kamen Rider Fourze is knocked out by the Unicorn Zodiarts before he abducts JK. Coming to at the Rabbit Hatch, secretly brought there by Tomoko, Gentaro is chewed out by Kengo for trusting JK and not telling him about the Elek Switch. Though the others are against it, Gentaro intends to save JK with Yuki giving him the location. Elsewhere, Nitta offers JK a chance at freedom by letting him call someone from his inner circle over, but JK is horrified that his "friends" are not going to save him. Once time runs out, Nitta is about to use the Zodiarts Switch in its Last One stage when Gentaro arrives, much to the shock of JK and Nitta. Gentaro says that he still wants to befriend JK, even though he was taken advantage of by the younger student. A furious Nitta reveals that he never intended to keep his word of freeing JK as he uses the Zodiarts Switch and his mind is transferred into the Unicorn Zodiarts's body. Gentaro transforms and manages to hold the Zodiarts off, just as Kengo and the girls save JK. With JK giving him back the Elek Switch and accepting his friendship with his special handshake, Kamen Rider Fourze uses the Astroswitch which transforms him into Kamen Rider Fourze Elek States. With his new power, Kamen Rider Fourze overpowers the Unicorn Zodiarts before destroying him with Rider Ten Billion Volt Break, letting him turn the Zodiarts Switch off. Though JK goes to attack Nitta in revenge, Gentaro tells him to drop his anger as he offers friendship to the other student. Soon after, as an excited JK is made a new member of the Kamen Rider Club to Kengo's dismay, the red-eyed man tells the Scorpion Zodiarts to continue observing Kamen Rider Fourze to find out if he can be of use to them or a hindrance in their plan.[6] | |||
7 | "The King, The Jerk" "Ō Sama Ya Rō" (王・様・野・郎) | Riku Sanjo | October 16, 2011 |
At the AGHS unveiling of a monument in honor of the football team's win at the regional tournament, Shun basks in the spotlight yet is troubled that Miu is not at the party. Upon finding out that Miu is helping Gentaro test Astroswitches, Shun is upset that she is spending her time with the losers. This would attract the attention of his father who tells Shun that he must focus more on himself and his achievements. After the Astroswitch test, Miu wants them to meet on Sunday to test more. However, Gentaro, Yuki, and Kengo reveal to Miu and JK that they have been told to come into school on Sunday for a set of extra lessons. JK reacts in horror, revealing that the Sunday lessons are a punishment only meant for the school's worst students and that most people call it "Study Hell". When the three go in for the class on Sunday, they find that Tomoko and Shun are joining them. Tomoko is taking the class because she wiped the school's digital archives in order to remove a single photo of herself that she found unflattering. When Shun and Gentaro get into an argument, the study hall's teacher Takashi Satake arrives and makes it clear that he is going to teach them to be proper students while singling Gentaro out for his special attention because of his "bad boy" appearance. As soon as Mr. Satake leaves, Gentaro attempts to ask why Shun is here, but the discussion escalates into a fight until Shun states that he needs to pass the class in order to stay on the football team so he can take part in the national tournament. Elsewhere, being the only two club members in the Rabbit Hatch, JK and Miu see a Zodiarts on a Burgermeal's footage just as it goes on a rampage. They arrive to the location, but they realize that they are out of their league in dealing with the monster. Miu calls Kengo, and when Gentaro realizes that she is in danger, he attempts to leave the room only for Shun to block his passage. Kengo leaves instead. He manages to arrive in time in the Powerdizer, identifying the Zodiarts as being the Hound Zodiarts, representing Canes Venatici, and grapples with the monster before it escapes. After Kengo returns to the classroom, Shun asks Mr. Satake if they could raise the stakes for leaving the class by making anyone who fails the exit exam will be required to take the class until he passes, knowing full well that Gentaro will fail. Elsewhere, JK has managed to find the Switcher of the Hound Zodiarts, and he follows him to try to uncover his identity. However, the young man spots him and transforms into the Zodiarts to get rid of him. This time, Gentaro and Yuki manage to escape the classroom, despite Shun's best attempts to stop them, and they catch up to JK. Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze and fights the Hound Zodiarts. Switching through using the Smoke and Spike Switches to level the playing field at Yuki's behest, Kamen Rider Fourze decides to use the Winch Switch to trap the Hound Zodiarts, before he transforms into Elek States in an attempt to finish off the Hound Zodiarts until Shun interferes. He reveals that he is tired of his authority being belittled and he has made it his goal to get Gentaro expelled from the school so Kamen Rider Fourze will no longer be an impediment. Gentaro declares he has no time for Shun's distraction, especially on noticing the Zodiarts has escaped. He activates the Rocket Switch to give chase, but Shun grabs Kamen Rider Fourze, sending them both wildly into the air. The Hound Zodiarts takes advantage of the situation, firing an energy blast at the pair and causing an explosion.[7] | |||
8 | "Iron Knight's Coop-Eration" "Tek Ki Ren Kei" (鉄・騎・連・携) | Riku Sanjo | October 23, 2011 |
The Hound Zodiarts takes advantage of the situation between Shun Daimonji and Kamen Rider Fourze, blasting them out of the sky. With Shun knocked out cold from the Hound Zodiarts's attack, Kamen Rider Fourze proceeds to overpower the Hound Zodiarts with the Scissors Switch until the Scorpion Zodiarts attacks him and allows them to escape. Soon after, Shun finds himself forced by Mr. Satake to join Gentaro and company in doing menial labor as groundkeepers as punishment. Reminded of his father's expectations upon seeing the statue, Shun attempts to do the work himself as Gentaro confronts him about playing dumb to the monster attacks on the school, making Shun remember Miura. This leads to another fight between the two until Miu contacts Kengo about another attack. Gentaro heads to the location and transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze to battle the Hound Zodiarts, but the Scorpion Zodiarts interferes, again. The two Zodiarts overpower Kamen Rider Fourze until the Powerdizer arrives and drives the monsters off. Gentaro prepares to thank Kengo, but he is surprised when Miu is revealed to be its pilot, before she collapses from the strain of the fight. After Miu is taken to the nurse's office, Reiko finds them to break up with Shun. When they return to the class, Mr. Satake tells them that if they keep this up, they will be spending every Sunday with him, even after Shun reveals he is supposed to play in a game next week. After Gentaro tries to see things from Shun's point of view, pointing out that he does not seem to be the type to be a quarterback, Shun opens up to them on how his father has been running his life the way he sees fit, even calling the shots on the gridiron. His father's no-nonsense game plans made his teammates upset and forced him to kick Miura off of the team, and a recent fight placed him in the study hall. He also reveals that he only wants to have fun, and the fact that the Kamen Rider Club can have fun while he could not made him seek to get them disbanded. As everyone reconciles, Tomoko pressures Yuki to reveal why she was punished with the Sunday class, as everyone else's reasons have been revealed. She reluctantly reveals she was trying to put books on astronomy and space travel into the school library, until Mr. Ohsugi caught her. As Mr. Satake enters the classroom with the final exam, JK shows up to reveal he has found the Hound Zodiarts's true identity: Mr. Satake's son Teruhiko. JK leads the group to Teruhiko, revealing that while he is a model student, he leads a double life as the kind of "bad boy" that Mr. Satake despises. Teruhiko angrily renounces his father and uses the Zodiarts Switch after its Last One announcement, and runs off in his new body. Gentaro promises to Mr. Satake that he will help his son, and gives chase with Shun. However, Shun is stopped by his father who chastises him for hanging around with delinquents. Shun retorts that he should be allowed to become friends with anyone he pleases, and follows Gentaro who has transformed into Kamen Rider Fourze to take on the monster. He soon transforms into Elek States to counter the Hound Zodiarts's stronger hide when the Scorpion Zodiarts appears, again, and they turn the tides on Kamen Rider Fourze. As Shun and Kengo watch, Kengo summons the Powerdizer with the intent to pilot it, but Shun offers to go in his place, knowing that his body would be more suited to the task. He joins the fray, taking the two Zodiarts off of Kamen Rider Fourze, as they do Gentaro's special handshake. Now an even fight, Shun takes on the Scorpion Zodiarts while Kamen Rider Fourze takes on the Hound Zodiarts, eventually using the Powerdizer to launch himself at the Hound Zodiarts to strike it with the Rider Lightning Drill Kick. With the Zodiarts Switch deactivated, the Scorpion Zodiarts escapes. As Mr. Satake reconciles with his son, Shun uses the Powerdizer to destroy the statue his father gave to the school. On the moon's surface, Shun asks Miu out, but she rebuffs his advances while welcoming him into the Kamen Rider Club. Inside the Rabbit Hatch, Gentaro is pleased with his passing test score, which Yuki reveals is probably only because of Mr. Satake's gratefulness for saving his son.[8] | |||
9 | "The Witch Awa-Kens" "Ma Jo Kaku Sei" (魔・女・覚・醒) | Riku Sanjo | October 30, 2011 |
Seeing Gentaro and Yuki racing to the AGHS campus, Tomoko Nozama berates them for exercising when the world is coming to an end. Kengo puts off her statements as being a goth and Gentaro tries to befriend her, a group of other goth students come forward and introduce themselves as the Lunar Witches. As Yuki takes a look at the Lunar Witch book Tomoko has been reading, the group's leader Ritsuko Usaka threatens Gentaro with a curse if he meddles with their newest member Tomoko. Later, Gentaro being distracted with Tomoko on his mind is effecting his testing of the Flash Module as Kengo assures him that there is no such thing as witches. But as the others talk about their opinions of Tomoko, JK reveals rumors of people actually being cursed by Ritsuko and her two associates, Yuri Kuramochi and Masami Okamura. Feeling something is off about the Lunar Witches, Gentaro asks Yuki to join the group so he can learn more about them, since Tomoko invited her to join. As Gentaro and Kengo watch the ritual, Ritsuko says that they are interrupting the circle. Tomoko rifles through Gentaro's pockets until she finds the Fire Switch, claiming it to be interfering with the Lunar Witches' magic. Ritsuko kicks them out of the room, and Kengo reveals that Tomoko does have a unique ability if she can sense the powers of the Fire Switch. Ritsuko then has Yuri lead the group of witches to the pool, where she has come to seek revenge on the swim team for kicking her off with her magic powers, sending tools and water flying about the pool deck. Kengo has Gentaro transform into Kamen Rider Fourze to stop Yuri, using the Shield and Gatling Switches to take her on before Kengo has him use the Camera Switch to film her attacks before she disappears. As Gentaro and Yuki freak out that they are dealing with actual witches, an excited Tomoko runs off, believing she will actually become a witch. Later that night, JK leads Gentaro to the local occult shop where they find Tomoko, who reveals that she always felt that she did not belong on the planet due to her ability to see things that other people cannot. But since she met Ritsuko, Tomoko finally feels like she can fit in and achieve her dream of going to the moon. When Yuri and Masami arrive, they tell her that she is now a member of the group and can do magic. Tomoko recites the group's incantation, causing her to levitate off of the ground, before she joins the girls to help in Masami's revenge. The next day in class, JK and Miu barge in to reveal that Masami was kicked off of the cheer squad because she fooled around with boys, and that the target of her revenge is her football playing ex-boyfriend. Shun manages to find Masami talking to her ex-boyfriend, when the Lunar Witches join up and trap them in a locker room and unintentionally set it on fire. The rest of the Kamen Rider Club arrives, with Gentaro transforming into Kamen Rider Fourze to get into the locker room. He is unable to deal with the fire until he remembers Tomoko's statement about the Fire Switch, using it to transform into Kamen Rider Fourze Fire States. He uses the Hee-Hackgun's Extinguish Mode Limit Break to put out the fire, saving Shun and Masami's former boyfriend. Before Kamen Rider Fourze can confront the Lunar Witches, Kengo arrives to reveal that the witches' magic was no more than the powers of a Zodiarts, as the Zodiarts arrives and attacks Kamen Rider Fourze. As the Kamen Rider and the Zodiarts battle, Tomoko recognizes the Zodiarts voice as being Ritsuko's, while feeling betrayed that she did not truly gain power. Suddenly, the Scorpion Zodiarts appears and gives her a Zodiarts Switch so she can have actual power.[9] | |||

Distracted by Tomoko being given a Zodiarts Switch by the Scorpion Zodiarts, Kamen Rider Fourze is overpowered by the Altar Zodiarts before Ritsuko ends her transformation and takes her leave while telling Fourze not to interfere any further. Though Fourze and Kengo urge her not to follow, Tomoko tells them that they have no idea what it is like to be her. Later, Gentaro is accused by Mr. Ohsugi for being behind the fire before Ms. Sonoda and several other students clear Gentaro's name by placing the blame on the Lunar Witches. Though Mr. Ohsugi refuses to believe them, he fearfully runs away from the Lunar Witches when they arrive. Ms. Sonoda refuses to run from them as she attempts to question them about the incident, but Ritsuko instead tells her that she should leave the school before their final ritual is performed. In the Rabbit Hatch, the Kamen Rider Club identifies the Zodiarts as the Altar Zodiarts, having the powers of Ara, and Ritsuko's belief in the occult has amplified its powers. As they try to figure out what revenge Ritsuko and Tomoko are after, Gentaro decides he should find out more about Tomoko. Tomoko's mother leads Gentaro and Yuki to her bedroom, as she is in the shower, where they find several items regarding metamorphosis. As they comment on how she just wants to change, Tomoko finds them. After Gentaro comments on how nice she looks without her goth makeup, she screams and runs out of the house, with Gentaro and Yuki behind. She continues to say that she has nowhere else to go but the Moon and that Ritsuko will make that dream a reality. Annoyed, Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze and takes her to the Rabbit Hatch so she can experience the true emptiness of the Moon where she is overcome with emotion. But ends up with Yuki kicking him to Earth. Back inside the lunar base, Gentaro affirms that she can never really be alone, because everyone in the Kamen Rider Club has a weird quirk about them, just like her. Upon leaving the Rabbit Hatch with the club members, Tomoko reveals that Ritsuko's plan is to burn down the school by using the Aradia staff she wields as the Altar Zodiarts. They all go to get Tomoko's Zodiarts Switch, finding it missing before the Kamen Rider Club members are "magically" tied up by Yuri and Masami. Pretending to betray the club members, Tomoko joins them in the ritual in order to steal the Aradia staff. As her followers pursue a retreating Tomoko, Ritsuko uses her Zodiarts Switch as enters its Last One state before following suit and reclaiming her staff. However, having been freed by a Potechokin Kengo summoned, Gentaro saves Tomoko from the Altar Zodiarts before the girl is incinerated, receiving her friendship in the process before becoming Kamen Rider Fourze to fight the Zodiarts. Once Shun uses the Powerdizer to remove Yuri and Masami from the fight and the others smash their pendants, Kamen Rider Fourze assumes Elek States to fight the Altar Zodiarts until she throws the Aradia staff to begin the ritual. However, Shun intercepts the Aradia and snaps it, enraging the Zodiarts as she begins using her fire powers with Kamen Rider Fourze switching to Fire States. On Tomoko's advice, in conjugation with his faith in her, Kamen Rider Fourze uses the Fire Switch to absorb the Altar Zodiarts's flames to increase his power before he incinerates her with the Rider Exploding Shoot. The next day, now a member of the Kamen Rider Club, Tomoko joins Yuki and Gentaro in their morning run. Though Kengo comments that they now have an unused Zodiarts Switch to experiment on, he gets upset upon learning that Tomoko has just thrown it into the river to signify her new life.[10] | |||

Kengo has no Astroswitches to test today, so Gentaro decides to treat the Kamen Rider Club to ramen while Kengo stays behind, as he still does not accept the Club's existence. Before leaving the Rabbit Hatch, Mr. Ohsugi walks into the abandoned club room just as Yuki is about to enter the locker. In hopes of warding off the curious Mr. Ohsugi, Yuki tries to convince him that the locker belonged to Ms. Sonoda and that the teacher wanted her to deal with it as it is cursed. This only makes Mr. Ohsugi more interested before Shun manages to distract the teacher by telling him that Ms. Sonoda is looking for him. When the coast is clear, Gentaro and Yuki go to the JAXA center where Gentaro learns that Amanogawa High was founded by its own chairman who is a famous former astronaut named Mituaki Gamou. The two are then confronted by the Pyxis Zodiarts who reveals to be Hiroki Makise, a former friend of Yuki's from AGHS's astronomy club who has become her stalker. Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze and fights the Pyxis Zodiarts, but is overpowered. While the Powerdizer holds the monster off, Kamen Rider Fourze assumes Fire States. But even with the powers of the Fire Switch, he is overpowered, which lets the Pyxis Zodiarts make his escape. Soon after the fight, Kamen Rider Fourze gets a call from Kengo saying that he is trapped in the Rabbit Hatch. The gang arrive to the abandoned classroom to find that the locker is gone. Kengo tells them to go find it so he can restore the connection between the Earth and the Moon. While searching for the locker, Yuki finds out that Mr. Ohsugi took the locker away and gave it to waste management. Kengo then reveals to the others how he and Yuki found the Rabbit Hatch, as he received an Astroswitch the previous year and absently threw it into the locker, creating the original connection. Elsewhere, Yuki leaves to try to persuade Makise to find the locker. Though Makise agrees to track it using the Pyxis Zodiarts's powers of tracking, he tells Yuki to let him do whatever he wants. After finding the locker, Makise reveals that he no longer loves Yuki and only wants to make her suffer. Gentaro arrives on the scene and transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze to fight the Zodiarts as the rest of the Club arrive. When Gentaro uses the Launcher Module on the Pyxis Zodiarts, Makise reveals that he also has the ability to redirect the path of objects and uses the missiles to destroy the locker. In the Rabbit Hatch, Kengo watches in horror as the locker is destroyed, and he comes to the realization that he is now trapped on the Moon.[11] | |||
12 | "Mis-Sion Ken's Life" "Shi Mei Ken Mei" (使・命・賢・命) | Kazuki Nakashima | November 27, 2011 |
After Kamen Rider Fourze assumes Fire States to extinguish the locker fire, the Pyxis Zodiarts discourages any retaliation from Kamen Rider Fourze as he reverts to Makise and tells Yuki that he never wants to see her again, while mentioning that there are other stars he loves to see as he walks off. After an attempt to use the Powerdizer's Tower Mode to reach the Moon, Kamen Rider Fourze receives a call from a furious Kengo as he snaps and tears down the Kamen Rider Club banner out of fear of dying alone in the Rabbit Hatch. As Tomoko leaves the group on a hunch, JK contacts the gang about his finding at the astronomy club. As Gentaro and Shun meet up with JK, Yuki attempts to ask Mr. Gamou to use his resources to send her to the Moon. Luckily, Miu manages to spirit her away to keep their involvement a secret. While scolding the girl, Miu realizes that Yuki has been acting out of guilt. At the astronomy club, Gentaro learns that Makise is targeting the school's cutest girls, who have all rejected him, and intends to kill them all off by sending a bus with them all in it over an incomplete bridge. Before they can go to stop him, they are intercepted by the Scorpion Zodiarts who overpowers Kamen Rider Fourze before he turns the tables with Fire States as the Zodiarts is forced to escape for its life. Soon after, upon learning from Yuki that Miu is among Makise's captives, Kamen Rider Fourze arrives to save them as Makise uses his Zodiarts Switch in its Last One state. Kengo is contacted by Yuki as she tells him that Gentaro and the Kamen Rider Club members are concerned for him while they continue to fight in his absence. Watching the footage of Miu and Shun stopping the bus, Kengo realizes that fighting the Zodiarts is no longer just his mission as he contacts Kamen Rider Fourze. On Kengo's advice, Kamen Rider Fourze uses the Stealth Switch in Elek States to counter the Pyxis Zodiarts abilities before destroying the Zodiarts and restoring Makise to his body as he runs away from the girls. Elsewhere, Tomoko discovers that the locker that was destroyed was a fake and that the real gateway was in Mr. Ohsugi's possession the whole time upon discovering the original lie he was told made him keep it due to his love for Ms. Sonoda. With this knowledge, Kamen Rider Fourze and the others find Kengo on the Moon's surface as he plants the Kamen Rider Club flag on the Moon, with Kengo finally accepting both the club and Gentaro's friendship.[12] | |||

After ensuring the locker would not be removed again, Gentaro and others find a mob led by Toshiya Miura's mother over the monster sightings around the campus. Gentaro is able to get involved when the school's principal Kouhei Hayami arrives and charms the mob into calming down. While Hayami gives his speech of assurance, which inspires Gentaro to put an end to the Zodiarts sightings, Tomoko remembers the Scorpion Zodiarts saying the same thing to her before she leaves with the others. After Gentaro talks with the others about trying to help those who used Zodiarts Switches to return to school, Shun agrees to help with Miura. Shun introduces Gentaro to Miura's girlfriend Mari Yamamoto who offers her assistance to get Miura back to school. Finding Miura at his family's photography studio, Gentaro tries to talk Miura into returning to school, but Miura who reveals he is over his grudge with Shun has another reason for not attending AGHS and runs off. They find Miura with the Scorpion Zodiarts, and no longer intending to show any mercy to him, Gentaro becomes Kamen Rider Fourze to fight the Zodiarts with the Hammer Switch while others take Miura to safety. However, though overpowered by Fourze Fire States, the Scorpion Zodiarts produces the stardust-based ninjas called Dusterds to cancel the Kamen Rider's attack and cover his escape. Though Kamen Rider Fourze tries to assure him that he will keep the monster from him, an upset Miura runs off, again. After setting up a plan, the Kamen Rider Club tricks Miura into watching a little play they made to cheer him up, which only upsets him. Though he admits that he loves the school, he cannot go back there as that is where the Zodiarts Switches are. Before he can elaborate, Ms. Sonoda arrives to take him to the principal when the Dusterds attack and kidnap Miura. Chasing after them, Kamen Rider Fourze saves Miura with the Hammer Switch before assuming Elek States in conjugation with the Water Switch to take the ninjas out. Miura breaks down as he reveals that he is suffering from Zodiarts Switch withdrawal as he walks off with Kamen Rider Fourze stunned as to how he can help him, now. Soon after, Miura is confronted by Ms. Sonoda, who is actually the Scorpion Zodiarts as she gives him a new Zodiarts Switch.[13] | |||

Transforming into her Scorpion Zodiarts form, Ms. Sonoda attempts to coerce Miura into becoming a Zodiarts once more as his Zodiarts Switch quickly assumes its Last One state. However, Kamen Rider Fourze arrives and the Zodiarts teleports away after telling Miura to meet her where he first obtained his previous Zodiarts Switch. Gentaro tries to reason with Miura as he accepts the Scorpion Zodiarts's offer before walking off. Ms. Sonoda meets Gamou soon after as she receives his praise before being given a new power in case Fourze manages to foil her scheme. The next day, while he asks around about Miura, Ms. Sonoda leads Gentaro into a trap to poison him with her Zodiarts form's stinger while telling him that the agonizing death from her venom is what he deserves in meddling in the affairs of the Horoscopes. Making it to the Rabbit Hatch, Gentaro tells the club about the Horoscopes which Kengo deduces are the enforcers behind the Zodiarts attacks. Though Kengo believes there is no way to use Switch 24's power to cure Gentaro, Tomoko presents a risky alternative before they realize Gentaro is gone along with the photobook Mari gave to Yuki. Finding JK as he has obtained the location of Miura and the Scorpion Zodiarts's first meeting, Gentaro has him take him to Miura and convinces him not to let the Zodiarts Switch run his life. Though he tells Gentaro to leave him alone, Miura sees Mari's photos and remembers his life before becoming the Orion Zodiarts. Suddenly, the Scorpion Zodiarts poisons JK before knocking him and Gentaro off of the building, just as they are saved by the Powerdizer. However, the Scorpion Zodiarts uses Gamou's power boost to transform into Scorpion Nova and defeat the Powerdizer while poisoning Shun. With the Dusterds kidnapping Miura, the Scorpion Zodiarts takes her leave to finish her mission. After Miura musters the strength to refuse the Zodiarts Switch, a furious Scorpion Zodiarts prepares to kill him when Gentaro arrives, having been cured by Kengo's gambit of using a Fourze Driver compatible device to use the Medical Switch, and fights the Zodiarts while giving Yuki Cosmic Energy-based anti-venom to cure JK and Shun. After taking out the Dusterds in Elek and Fire States, Kamen Rider Fourze battles Scorpion Nova as her body begins to overload with enough energy to wipe out a city. Sending Scorpion Nova to space to minimize the damage, Kamen Rider Fourze defeats her with the Rider Rocket Drill Big Space Kick. Crashing back to Earth, an unconscious Ms. Sonoda is found by the Libra Zodiarts as he casts an illusion over her to conceal her identity from Kamen Rider Fourze and take her to Gamou. Gamou then has the Libra Zodiarts, revealed to be Kouhei Hayami, relieve Ms. Sonoda of her Zodiarts Switch and take her place in overseeing Zodiarts Switch distribution. Attempting to fake her anger at the Kamen Rider Club, as Miura returns to AGHS, Ms. Sonoda vows to become worthy of the stars once more.[14] | |||

During class, Yuki meets a trio of students who are members of the AGHS glee club who ask Yuki to join their club to help them with their annual Christmas pageant at a local kindergarten. Gentaro offers his friendship to the group, but the glee club turns him down. Soon after, Kengo's focus is altered to a Zodiarts attack. Forced to use different Switches in place of the still drained Rocket and Drill Switches, Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze confronts the extremely enraged Perseus Zodiarts. However, upon recognizing the Zodiarts's star pattern, Kengo arrives to warn Kamen Rider Fourze that the Perseus Zodiarts can turn whatever he touches to stone. Kamen Rider Fourze assumes Elek States to counter the Zodiarts, but the two are equally matched until the Perseus Zodiarts decides to retreat. Later, after Tomoko tends to his wounds, Gentaro meets an artist named Soshi Matoyama before going to hear Yuki sing. However, as Gentaro sees the glee club forced into singing her "Hayabusa-kun" song, Yuki's singing drives Soshi crazy, and he complains to the glee club president Junta, who is his friend. Before Gentaro can try to calm Soshi down, Kengo and JK arrive to get him so the club can discuss the Perseus Zodiarts and his power to turn people into stone. Remembering Soshi's painting, Gentaro realizes that he might be the Zodiarts and is attacking anything he sees that interferes with his concentration and that Yuki may be in danger. However, he is too late to warn her as her singing has already angered Soshi and he is chasing her as the Perseus Zodiarts. Gentaro and Kengo chase after them with Junta following, as well. Once he realizes his identity is discovered, the Perseus Zodiarts reveals that he is indeed Soshi just as his Zodiarts Switch transforms into his Last One State. Gentaro changes to Kamen Rider Fourze Fire States to destroy the Perseus Zodiarts with a point-blank attack, but just as he is about to turn off the Zodiarts Switch, it suddenly reforms the Perseus Zodiarts's body. The Zodiarts then suddenly glows as Mr. Hayami and Ms. Sonoda watch from afar, with the former explaining that the goal for them, along with the Virgo Zodiarts and the Leo Zodiarts, is to select eight ideal students to evolve beyond the Last One Stage so they can complete the Horoscopes' membership.[15] | |||
16 | "Right-Wrong Con-Flict" "Sei Ja Kat Tō" (正・邪・葛・藤) | Riku Sanjo | December 25, 2011 |
Having his Last One form recreated, the Perseus Zodiarts begins to glow with a new power, which Principal Hayami reveals to be the power that will allow him to become one of the Horoscopes. The Perseus Zodiarts is now capable of firing a petrification beam from his Medusa hand, which he uses on Kamen Rider Fourze, striking his hand and turning it to stone. But when Kamen Rider Fourze reminds him of his obligation to give the kindergarteners his painting and the fact he can not return to his human form, the Perseus Zodiarts runs off to finish his painting while unaware that he is being followed. Back at the Rabbit Hatch, the Kamen Rider Club try to figure out what to do about Gentaro's stone hand as Kengo points out that they must get Motoyama back into his body before he is stuck in his Zodiarts body permanently. While Yuki goes back to the glee club to prepare for the kindergarten show, Kengo has Gentaro test out the Pen Switch, but he cannot figure out what purpose its ink-like powers have. Gentaro decides to use a different approach against the Perseus Zodiarts and takes a Hulashake with him should he need help. He goes out to find the Perseus Zodiarts and he challenges him to a drawing contest. If Gentaro wins, then Motoyama must return to his body. If Gentaro loses, the Perseus Zodiarts can encase him in stone. When Gentaro finishes, the Perseus Zodiarts sees that his drawing is poorly done, but he cannot seem to destroy it because he realizes that Gentaro put his heart into the drawing. However, another Kamen Rider Fourze suddenly appears and Gentaro becomes Kamen Rider Fourze to face the impostor with the Gatling Switch. This forces the fake Kamen Rider Fourze, who is the Libra Zodiarts in disguise, to fight with his staff. Once beating the real Kamen Rider Fourze, the Libra Zodiarts turns his attention to the Perseus Zodiarts and has him completely turn Gentaro to stone so he can reach his true potential as a member of the Horoscopes. The Libra Zodiarts then tells the Perseus Zodiarts to make his way to Hoshiko Kindergarten to give his painting to the class while turning the glee club to stone to complete his evolution. However, when he makes his way to the kindergarten, he hears the children enjoying the "Hayabusa-Kun" performance and also sees a series of drawings the children made to emulate his drawing from the previous year. His attention is then directed to Gentaro being carried by Kengo and Shun, with Gentaro being fine as Kengo explains that his reluctance to turn Gentaro to stone made the effect only temporary. Realizing that he was a fool for not realizing that he was only satisfying himself, the Perseus Zodiarts accepts Gentaro's friendship while agreeing to become human, while losing the glow that would have allowed him to change into one of the Horoscopes. Furious that the Perseus Zodiarts has failed him, the Libra Zodiarts uses his powers to turn him into a mindless brute to kill off Gentaro as he is forced to become Kamen Rider Fourze to defend himself. But the Libra Zodiarts's presence in the fight places Kamen Rider Fourze at a disadvantage until a mysterious Kamen Rider appears. As the mysterious Kamen Rider deals with the Libra Zodiarts, Tomoko and JK arrive on the scene to reveal the Pen Switch's ability to turn its drawings into physical objects. With this in mind, Kamen Rider Fourze uses the Pen Module's ink to block the Perseus Zodiarts's petrification attacks, before blocking the beam from being used at all. He then uses the restored Rocket and Drill Switches to destroy the Perseus Zodiarts with the Rider Rocket Drill Kick, returning Motoyama to his body. After the Libra Zodiarts falls back, the mysterious Kamen Rider drives off without a word. Later, as Motoyama begins his drawing anew, the Kamen Rider Club's Christmas party commences until the club members find Gentaro abusing the Pen Switch for decorative purposes.[16] | |||

Soon after, Gentaro hears of a rumor of a cat monster attacking students with good grades. With Ryusei watching every movement he and his friends make, Gentaro searches for clues before meeting Kengo's rival Kimio Nonomura.

But when the school bell rings, the Lynx Zodiarts retreats as the others decide to go to classmeet up at the Rabbit Hatch after school. Following them, Ryusei finds his way to the Rabbit Hatch and manages to sneak his way in. He watches as the Kamen Rider Club reviews the footage of Kamen Rider Fourze's fight with the Lynx Zodiarts and Gentaro deduces that the Zodiarts must be Kimio. Once the others leave, Ryusei contacts the mysterious leader of the Anti-Zodiarts Union, Tachibana, of his findings before being reminded that observing them is vital to his personal mission. Following the Kamen Rider Club to a café, Ryusei watches as Kimio assumes his Lynx Zodiarts's Last One state as Kamen Rider Fourze battles him. The fight is taken to an open stage when the Lynx Zodiarts holds JK hostage, Gentaro is forced into negating his transformation as the Lynx Zodiarts takes the Fourze Driver. Having seen enough, Ryusei uses the Meteor Driver to become the mysterious black-suited Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Meteor. Ignoring that the Lynx Zodiarts is still holding JK, Kamen Rider Meteor attacks him and takes their fight outside the stage as Ms. Sonoda and Principal Hayami watch from afar before Kamen Rider Fourze joins the fray once more. But refusing Kamen Rider Fourze's help, Kamen Rider Meteor ends the fight by destroying the Lynx Zodiarts with the Starlight Shower Limit Break. However, the Lynx Zodiarts reforms as Kamen Rider Meteor tells him to run away while he blocks Kamen Rider Fourze's Rider Rocket Drill Kick. Kamen Rider Meteor reveals that he knows of the Horoscopes' true plan to turn students into additional members of the Horoscopes, and he intends to let the Lynx Zodiarts live if it transforms into the Horoscopes' Aries Zodiarts, before attacking Kamen Rider Fourze.[17] | |||

Refusing to let Kamen Rider Fourze meddle in his affairs if it means the Lynx Zodiarts evolves into the Aries Zodiarts, Kamen Rider Meteor proceeds to fight him before Tomoko stops him before the rest of the Kamen Rider Club join in. Seeing their refusal to budge, Kamen Rider Meteor declares them enemies before he walks off. Taking Nonomura's body to the Rabbit Hatch, the gang are shocked to find Ryusei entering their headquarters. Covering his true intents, Ryusei asks to join the Kamen Rider Club. While the others agree, Gentaro refuses as he points out that Ryusei is hiding something from him and he can not accept him just yet. Livid, Ryusei contacts Tachibana about the Lynx Zodiarts's progress before remembering how his friend Jiro ended up in a coma before he obtained the Meteor Driver from a mysterious benefactor. The next day, as Mr. Ohsugi is about to give everyone a test, Dustards burst into the room and cause a panic. With Ryusei watching from afar, Gentaro and the others find the Lynx Zodiarts. Once he transforms, Kamen Rider Fourze proceeds to chase after the Lynx Zodiarts with the Wheel Switch before assuming Elek States to destroy him. Seeing the Lynx Zodiarts destroyed, and ignoring all protocol, Ryusei punches Gentaro in the face in a fit of rage before realizing what he has just done. However, Gentaro is happy to see the real Ryusei before the Scorpion and Libra Zodiarts appear. Getting Ryusei to run away, Gentaro becomes Kamen Rider Fourze to fight them on his own. However, Ryusei becomes Kamen Rider Meteor to aid Kamen Rider Fourze by defeating the Scorpion Zodiarts. Before the gang can see Ms. Sonoda's face, the Libra Zodiarts spirits her away.

Arriving at the Rabbit Hatch, having finished the new Horuwankov Foodroid, Kengo finds Ryusei overseeing the testing of the Hand Switch. Feeling left out when Gentaro reveals he made the call on Ryusei to work on the Astroswitches, Kengo becomes upset when the others want to test the new N and S Magnet Switches. Learning that Gentaro took the Magnet Switches behind his back, Kengo declares them to be friends no more and leaves to blow off steam. Soon after, Kengo meets his old friend, Rumi Egawa of the track and field club as he offers to help her in her work before the track team captain Jin Nomoto tells her to get back to training and warns Kengo not to interfere in her progress. When he hears a thunderous noise, Kengo runs into Gentaro as they encounter the Dragon Zodiarts, who has destroyed several cars to attract the Kamen Rider's attention. Gentaro transforms to fight the Zodiarts, but he is unable to land a hit against the Dragon Zodiarts's hard body as the monster reveals that the Libra Zodiarts has asked him to kill the Kamen Riders. Overpowered, Ryusei directs Kamen Rider Fourze to assume Fire States and use the Shield Module to take on the defensive. But when Kamen Rider Fourze uses the Magnet Switches, much to Kengo's dismay, he is unable to control their magnetic pull. The Dragon Zodiarts is forced to fall back to escape the magnets, but not before having two trucks get caught in the magnetic pull to kill Kamen Rider Fourze. Luckily, the Powerdizer holds the pair of trucks off long enough for Kengo and Ryusei to turn the Switches off. Later in the Rabbit Hatch, Ryusei offers a means to modify the Magnet Switches into a phone like device for better use, but Kengo reveals that he already created such an item: the NS Magphone. However, upon finally expressing his feelings that Ryusei is using Gentaro without worrying about the consequences, Kengo is fed up with the others' inability to see the truth and leaves the Rabbit Hatch. While out venting, Kengo realizes Rumi is nearby and helps her improve her running ability before finding himself being attacked by the Dragon Zodiarts under the impression that Kengo is Kamen Rider Meteor. Upon receiving the completed Magphone as he decides to fix things with him, Gentaro receives a call from Miu about Kengo being attacked. Arriving to Kengo's aid, Kamen Rider Fourze is overpowered by the Dragon Zodiarts until Kamen Rider Meteor shows up. However, even with Kamen Rider Meteor's help, the two Kamen Riders are no match for the Dragon Zodiarts. At Kamen Rider Meteor's urging, Kamen Rider Fourze attempts to use the Magphone against Kengo's wishes, only to accidentally send it flying away. Kengo is displeased at Kamen Rider Fourze because Magphone wasn't finished yet.[19] | |||

During their fight with the Dragon Zodiarts, at Kamen Rider Meteor's urging, Kamen Rider Fourze attempts to use the Magphone against Kengo's wishes, only to accidentally send it flying. Kamen Rider Fourze assumes Elek States to aid Meteor by using their Limit Breaks on him at the same time. The Dragon Zodiarts decides to take his leave with Kamen Rider Meteor following. Gentaro tries to apologize, but Kengo didn't forgive him as he decides to give his advice to Rumi instead. As Gentaro, Miu, JK, and Tomoko search for the Magphone, Yuki, Shun, and Ryusei attempt to convince Kengo to forgive Gentaro.

Later, Ryusei manages to persuade Kengo to reconsider apologizing to Gentaro by comparing the two of them to magnets in regard to their intentions of helping each other.

Principal Hayami arrives with a new teacher to replace the now retired Ms. Sonoda: Ms. Haruka Utsugi. Though Gentaro is amazed when she almost kicks Mr. Ohsugi's head off for trying to latch onto her, Ms. Utsugi says she has no interest in befriending him. The next day, as Gentaro, Kengo, and Yuki, are interviewed by Ms. Utsugi in a career guidance session, the others find footage of a Zodiarts attack. Ryusei, Shun, Tomoko, and JK use a Horuwankov to track the Pegasus Zodiarts and find him fighting the Libra Zodiarts, who reveals the other Zodiarts is using a stolen Zodiarts Switch. Sneaking off as the others watch in confusion of what is going on, Ryusei transforms into Kamen Rider Meteor and fights the Pegasus Zodiarts while the Libra Zodiarts takes his leave.

As Gamou takes his leave, Kengo suddenly loses consciousness, and Gamou catches him. Later, Gentaro and Yuki visit Haru in the hospital as they find Ran by his side. Principal Hayami suddenly appears as he attempts to take Ran away, lying that she is going to be in the exchange program in the United States. However, the Leo Zodiarts stops Hayami's car as the Horoscopes moves him aside to get to Ran. Finding the ruckus, Gentaro sees Hayami transform into the Libra Zodiarts, who soon tells the boy to help him protect Ran as he proceeds to fight the Leo Zodiarts. Though he has no idea what is going on, Gentaro becomes Kamen Rider Fourze to fight the Leo Zodiarts in Cosmic States. Evading through the Aquarius Switch, the Leo Zodiarts tells Kamen Rider Fourze that he will pay. Demanding answers from Principal Hayami, who soon reveals that he gave Haru his Zodiarts Switch, Hayami reveals to Ran and the others that he used his Eye of Laplace to confirm her status as the final member of the Horoscopes. Fearing the horrors that would occur if all twelve Horoscopes are gathered, Hayami is aiming to protect Ran to ensure his life will be safe. Being the only one to trust Hayami, Gentaro offers his friendship to him before Kengo stops the moment to have Hayami reveal the identity of their leader to be Gamou. Hayami proceeds to reveal to the Kamen Rider Club how Gamou has arranged all of this so he can see the Presenter while destroying the city in the process. Giving the Libra Switch to Kengo, Hayami admits he was caught in Gamou's splendor until he realized the pain caused by his actions and now wants to redeem himself. As Kengo and JK research Emoto's study with Hayami in hopes of finding something that can stop Gamou, with Kengo finding a flash drive with his name on it, the others use Miu's home as a safe house to keep Ran before realizing that the Leo Zodiarts has followed them. Using the Aries Switch, the graduates and Tomoko are put to sleep and then using the Virgo Switch to catch up to the others, the Leo Zodiarts reveals himself as Tatsugami as he states that Ran will join them. Finding himself facing Kamen Riders Fourze and Meteor while taking the Libra Switch from them, the Leo Zodiarts creates two Leo Dustards to hold off the Kamen Riders while he pursues Yuki and Ran. Hayami finds them and tries to fight the Leo Zodiarts, but is at a great disadvantage without his Libra Switch. Refusing to run away, Ran uses the Zodiarts Switch to become the Pisces Zodiarts to fight the Leo Zodiarts. After taking out the Leo Dustards, the Kamen Riders arrive to find the Pisces Zodiarts fighting the Leo Zodiarts just before Gamou arrives. Gamou soon confirms that he is the leader of the Horoscopes and his actions are to further his evolution, even if it means people get killed. Though Kamen Rider Fourze calls him selfish, Gamou states that his ideals are more universal than Gentaro's.[45] | |||

Explaining that his reasons are motivated by his desire to venture into the unknown for the sake of human evolution, Gamou transforms into the Sagittarius Zodiarts in front of Kamen Rider Fourze and defeats both him and Kamen Rider Meteor easily before turning towards Ran who has negated her transformation. When Ran states her intent to fight him, and seeing that the Pisces Switch is undeveloped, the Sagittarius Zodiarts decides to leave and bide his time for her to decide if she would wish to venture or die with the unworthy. Losing consciousness as the two Horoscopes leave, Kengo finds himself with a strange Switch and hears an infant's crying. Coming to with Yuki by his side as she makes him con-gee to eat, Kengo thanks Yuki for what she and Gentaro have done for him over the course of the year. Looking into the contents of the flash drive he found in Emoto's office soon after, Kengo uncovers a shocking truth. Elsewhere, having placed Ran in the Rabbit Hatch as Mr. Ohsugi copes with the news that the principal and Ms. Sonoda were with the Horoscopes, Principal Hayami states that their only choice is to break into Gamou's office to steal the Horoscopes Switches. Upon entering Gamou's lair, Hayami, Gentaro, and Ryusei are attacked by a Gemini Zodiarts clone with the principal sacrificing himself to get Gentaro and Ryusei out. However, the two are jumped by the Leo Dustards and the Kamen Riders proceed to defeat the two enemies with their Rider Super Electromagnetic Strike team attack. Kamen Rider Fourze then receives a call from Miu that Ran has run off to confront Tatsugami who has captured Haru to call her out. Arriving at the beach, Ran becomes a fully matured Pisces Zodiarts to fight the Leo Zodiarts as Kamen Rider Fourze arrives. However, "Kamen Rider Fourze" turns out to be the Libra Zodiarts, just as the real Gentaro and Ryusei arrive. Taking the Pisces Switch from Ran, Principal Hayami reveals that he played the Kamen Rider Club to ensure that Ran's evolution occurred. Mortified that Hayami took advantage of his good nature and that he truly does not care about the students, Gentaro becomes Kamen Rider Fourze to passionately fight the Libra Zodiarts while Kamen Rider Meteor battles the Leo Zodiarts. The Sagittarius Zodiarts arrives, defeating the two Kamen Riders before having the twelve Horoscope Switches gathered to enact the Day of Awakening. However, Kengo arrives to reveal that Emoto has analyzed that the Sagittarius Zodiarts would be rendered defenseless during this moment and that he has arranged the Kamen Riders to deal with him at that time. With Kamen Rider Meteor Storm holding the Leo Zodiarts at bay, Kamen Rider Fourze Cosmic States attempts to take the Sagittarius Zodiarts out. However, the Libra Zodiarts sacrifices himself to take the Kamen Rider's death blow, the Sagittarius Zodiarts dismissing his follower's death as a sign of loyalty rather than one of friendship. With Gamou's words in his mind, Kengo becomes livid as he glows with a light that cancels the Horoscopes Switches' formation. Upon realizing that he has underestimated Kengo, the Sagittarius Zodiarts and Leo Zodiarts fall back as the mysterious switch appears from the boy's body.[46] | |||

At the Rabbit Hatch, the gang is concerned about the Horoscopes Switches. Kengo watches the Earth from the moon before telling Kamen Rider Fourze and Yuki that he now knows why could never use the Fourze Drive. Taking off his helmet to their shock, Kengo reveals to the two that he is not human but in reality a Core Child, a construct of Cosmic Energy. Telling the others his true nature, Kengo reveals his true origins as an emissary of the Presenter and how his father and Gamou took different paths to use the Core Switch to reach the Presenter that led to Rokuro's death. Furthermore, revealing his objective was to review humanity, he is to return to the Presenter with him now able to use the Fourze Driver to warp them. Despite Gentaro's attempt to talk him out of seeing himself as a thing instead of a person, Kengo severed his ties to them and the others. After taking Kengo to the JAXA, Gentaro points out that he had the same expression he had when he first saw Earth from the Rabbit Hatch. After being found out to have been pretending to be emotionless, Kengo finally breaks down and tearfully admits that he does not want to leave but he must. Gentaro gives Kengo the Fourze Driver and tells him that he will leaving as both a human and as friend with the promise that they will all meet again. But on the way out, the three learn from an injured Mr. Ohsugi that the Rabbit Hatch has been attacked by the Leo Zodiarts with the rest of the Kamen Rider Club still there. Waiting for them with Tatsugami, revealing that his shock that a piece of the lunar base still remains, Gamou demands the Core Switch. However, when Kengo explains that only he can return to the Presenter, a furious Gamou transforms to kill him to prove himself worthy. After Kengo deflects the Sagittarius Zodiarts' attack Gentaro transforms into Fourze Cosmic States to fight the Sagittarius and Leo Zodiarts as Kengo gets the club members to return to Earth after the airlock is destroyed. Giving Yuki a note and telling her that The Hole will cease upon his departure, Kengo joins the fight to knock the Horoscopes back before Ryusei becomes Kamen Rider Meteor so Gentaro can safely give Kengo the Fourze Driver before taking him into the Rabbit Hatch. However, thinking of his friends as he prepares to leave the Milky Way, Kengo is shocked to find the Sagittarius Zodiarts assuming his Supernova form to stop Kengo. Knocking the youth with his kick, Sagittarius Nova crushes the Core Switch with Kengo's body dissolving to Gentaro's horror.[47] | |||

After killing Kengo, Gamou deems the Kamen Rider Club no more a threat of him. He tosses the Fourze Driver to Gentaro and takes his leave to begin the Day of Awakening, but not before telling the others to await for his speech tomorrow at the start of the new term. Gentaro and Ryusei manage to escape the Rabbit Hatch before it explodes, with only their banner saved from the wreckage. Later that night, as the Kamen Rider Club wonders what to do, Yuki remembers the letter Kengo gave her prior to his death. With Yuki reading it to the others, each member is touched by Kengo's feelings and gratitude for what they have done for him and he tells them not to hate Gamou and instead stop him and show him the error of his ways. The next day as the new term begins, and seeing no more need to keep his activities a secret, Gamou makes a public announcement of leaving for the cosmos within an hour, and he tells everyone to spend their final moments with their loved ones. With Gentaro having a plan, he and Ryusei assume their Kamen Rider forms to make their way the manifested Dark Nebula. After the Kamen Riders defeat the army of Dustards he conjures, the Leo Zodiarts battle Kamen Rider Meteor before being defeated by Kamen Rider Meteor Storm's Rider Kick and dissolving away into stardust. Elsewhere, Kamen Rider Fourze uses Rocket States to knock Sagittarius Nova away from the Dark Nebula before battling him with his other States forms, assuming Cosmic States to take him back Amanogawa High via a warp gate. The two end up in the school gym. Before he cancels his transformation, Gentaro battles Sagittarius Nova while the rest of Kamen Rider Club members each give a speech about how Gamou and the school have made them into better people. Representing the graduates, Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze to finish Sagittarius Nova off with the Youth Galaxy Mega Rocket Rider Drill Kick, negating the Dark Nebula in the process. In the end, Gentaro offers his hand in friendship to Gamou, who is utterly astonished by the youth and eventually reciprocates. However, when his body begins to dissolve into stardust, Gamou explains that is a side effect of his forced evolution as he asks Gentaro to continue his dream to meet the Presenters before he leaves to spend his final moments alone. The next day, Gentaro and Yuki prepare to throw out Kengo's letter when they suddenly find him alive and well. Kengo reveals that he was revived by Gamou restoring the Core Switch before fading away, and now Kengo appears to be completely human now. Elsewhere, Shun proposes to Miu, but her attention is suddenly grabbed by a mysterious ring-owner named Haruto Soma. Ryusei bids his farewell to his friends at AGHS before he transfers back to Subaruboshi High, his revealed status as single giving Tomoko glee. With AGHS now in the capable hands of Mr. Satake and the other teachers, Gentaro welcomes Ran and Haru into the reformed Space Kamen Rider Club with their new goal being to befriend the Presenters and everyone else they may find in the universe.[48] |
