Oh god, what an episode.

We learn that Tachibana-san is actually Virgo/Emoto. Does this mean that Emoto is both a villain and a secret hero? This is very intriguing and I did not see this coming at all.

Also, I loved the Nadeshiko reference that Gentarou made during training.

So now Ryuusei and Tomoko are both in Dark Nebula with nobody else from the Rider club. Foreshadowing anybody?

That's pretty hilarious. Is Hayami being surprised by VIrgo's identity supposed to be the avatar for the viewer in this case? Whoa, Gamou is personally stepping in?

Wow, the different camera angles for the Rider Club on the roof is really distracting. Sort of takes the impact away from the serious moment.

What? Does Oosugi really give the same speech every time he gives out finals? That's pretty great XD

Heh, Shun shower scene. KR always saves its best fan service for the young moms.

Oosugi makes the law? Oosugi is the law?!

Awww, Leo is bullying Libra.

What the heck, Tachibana-san?! Why are these attacks on Fourze even more intense than the ones against the Zodiarts? You have a space laser beam that can target guys riding bikes?!

Sweet, Nadeshiko. Mega Max continuity undeniably confirmed.

Tachibana-san najjjjjjjjeeeeeeeee?!

Edit: Thinking about it a bit more, it seems like Virgo is planning an uprising against Gamou (and has been doing so for quite some time). When Tachibana says "there are those stronger than Virgo among the Horoscopes", that probably explains why he needs Fourze to take down those people (probably referring to Gamou).

Probably just my imagination but:

I never noticed that lil' quirk in the Meteor symbol; "Tachibana-san, why did you betray us?!" O_o

That said, the Nadeshiko mention made me smile everywhere. I was pretty worried that they'd screw it up but, nope they pulled through and everything is great~

Hopefully the glowing red eyes things will be explained.

Now we have a partial explanation about why Virgo tried to scare off the KRC members instead of just killing them.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOO SHUN ASS YEAH BITCHES IT'S FANSERVICE TIME

Seriously though, damn what a plot twist.

I found it funny when Virgo said that the Nuggetroid wasn't going to reveal her identity but it did. Virgo being Tachibana brings a different view on the events of Fourze. You have Virgo being able to spy on both the Kamen Rider Club and Meteor via the Meteor Switch. Meteor's original mission was to bring about the Aries Zodiarts but I think Virgo was hoping that Aries would be one of the last few Horoscopes to be born so she could continue to use Meteor as a way to create Horoscopes. Also Virgo could have given Jirou the defective Zodiarts Switch since she could have known it was defective ahead of time due to researching Cosmic Energy and creating the Zodiarts Switches. Thus Virgo created his own pawn for his purposes.

Being Tachibana was a win-win for Emoto since he could get the Horoscope Switches even if the hosts themselves are defeated, he still could get the Switch as Tachibana. The thing I don't get is why he wants Fourze to transform into Cosmic States by himself. He already weakened Fourze by having everyone leave him and doing this counter-productive.

I guess the reason why Gentarou didn't use the Super Rocket Switch because of his feelings for Nadeshiko.

Remember what Tachibana says to Gentarou. There are guys stronger than Virgo amongst the Horoscopes. That means he wants Fourze to get stronger so he can take out those guys (probably means Gamou, maybe Leo). That way all the power will be his alone.

The thing is would Gentarou being able to use Cosmic States by himself being stronger compared to having the bond. There isn't enough info to say that doing it by himself would Cosmic States more powerful. If Emoto wants the power all himself, wouldn't keeping the bond the best way since Fourze would be strong enough to deal the other Horoscopes. He's taking a huge gamble on this.

Obviously he sent Meteor to the Dark Nebula to rescue Tomoko and the others.

so one more and thats it?

Fourze is said to have 48 episodes.

Thank god that makes my day

There hasn't been a season of Kamen Rider with less than 48 episodes in the last thirteen years.

I sort of called Tachibana=Emoto when Tachibana tried to disband the group then the members he tried to get out was all attacked by Virgo.

Uhh...Decade was just a few years ago...

What.


The.


#^+%??!!?!?


Ok I did NOT see Tachibana also being Virgo. That pretty much puts the whole thing into a Amazing plot twist. Glad to see Meteor show off his feelings for Tomoko.

Speaking of Meteor, OMGWTFBBQ!!! He got sent to the dark nebula!!!

YES!!!!! MOVIE IS CANON!! SCORE ONE FOR THE HOME TEAM! I've stayed out of the arguments on weither or not movies for KR and Sentai are canon, cause I prefer to just enjoy them for what they are. But I am one of those people who likes continuity in shows, so getting the movie confirmed as canon pretty much makes my day.
