This was probably the best episode of Fourze yet. I hope the show can keep up this level of awesome from here on out.

Wow, Cosmic States is awesome. I love how he's able to combine switches, that brings a whole lot of possibilities to the table. I do feel it was a bit to early for Ryusei to get the Meteor belt back, they should have waited a few episodes and had him have to earn it from Tachibana. Also, next week EDO KITA!

Without a doubt, the best episode of the series, and Cosmic State's debut easily trump Meteor Storm's in not just the design but power-wise. After the build-up of Aries, especially of his power even over fellow Horoscope Libra, it's nice to see him getting a beatdown by Cosmic's amazing array of Astro Switches (he can mix & match!), as well as that awesome Limit Break. I'm still not totally buying Ryusei's forgiveness, because I think he deserves a harsher punishment, but I'm willing to let it slide and I hope Ryusei will do more to repent for his mistakes. Oh, and can they start shipping Ryusei and Tomoko already? It's so obvious that it's getting ridiculous lol.

I LOVE THE VOICE OF THE COSMIC SWORD.

That aside, this was a really good episode. How Cosmic State works is pretty cool, combining the powers of switches and what not. I'd love to see the extent it's taken to (Gatling+Pen, Chain Array+Spike, Hammer+Giant Foot, etc).
Ryusei kinda got off easy, but he did get his ass whooped, so I guess he didn't get off completely scot-free.
It was nice seeing Kengo using the switch device and Medical again, too.

This episode was great, basically :p

Freaking amazing!

First off, and a very very minor niggle...the friendship thing was a tad too cheesy but eh i guess it was to be expected.

The rest of the episode was epic. Ryusei can finally stop being a douche and be the nice guy that we got glimpses of every now and then all the time. I thought the scene of him breaking down in the street was really powerful, same as Kengo crying after he revived Gen and Shun trying to take Ryusei out with the dizer.

Cosmic states is incredible. The whole combo switch thing, warping... giant fire blades just so much win and i look forward to the ridiculous combos we could get. The henshin jingle was awesome too, and if the DX barizun sword makes the robot opera noises then i will have to buy it =p

Oh man, dat Cosmic States. REALLY looking forward to the switch combos that can potentially come out of that.

Like people have said, this has definitely been the best episode of Fourze so far. I'm a little disappointed the Gentaro/Ryusei handshake wasn't done transformed, but I guess there's still time for that to happen in the future.

Also, a little detail but I really liked that JK was the first one to stand up against Aries in the script scene. Nice to see him doing something other than being a coward.

Well, the problem of this is that Tachibana had taken away Ryusei's ability to become Meteor, so it just isn't possible in this episode.

Also there's just more impact to it when you see them do that un-henshin'd.

I knew that. I was just saying I thought it would have been cooler like that.

Meh. I think seeing two Kamen Riders do it would have a pretty big impact especially when they were duking it out last week. But like I said there's still plenty of time for that.
