One detail I loved was that Kengo, of all people, is the one who's all distraught over Gentarou's death, and who is trying to save him.

Really shows how his character has grown over the series so far.

And was I the only one who got chills by Virgo's "almost as powerful as me" line?

We did see Virgo fighting with Meteor many episodes ago, and while she has flight and projectile attacks, as well as her staff and teleportation, I'm not sure what makes her on par or more powerful than Cosmic State. It could be that she hasn't revealed all her powers yet, as she (along with Leo) are the most mysterious up to this point.

Yes! At that moment I let out a very loud "OH MAN!"

One thing I am wondering, has Kengo's mystery illness been completely forgotten? He hasn't fainted in a long time...

Tomoko: A kamen rider would never do this!

Me: Lady...let me tell you about a certain someone named Takeshi Asakura...

I loved this episode, and whoever said it both things were right he got revived through the power of friendship and the cosmic switch, kinda funny how switches work, how some of them need to respond to people's feeling for each other in order to work, I don't get how they could forgive Ryusei so easily, I mean Gentarou I can understand, but everyone else? I don't know, Cosmic States was pretty cool, although it is a little silly looking, I thought the fight scene was pretty cool, and Ryusei's was cool too, that dude took a beating, Interesting how Tachibana provided Kengo with the switch to open up the Rabbit Hutch and as I said earlier, I liked how it Was Kengo who ran towards Gentarou when he died, and tried to revive him, it shows how far he's come since the beginning of the series

^this

Well, he was sweating profusely after trying to revive Gentarou

Lesson learned, never underestimate the power of friendship, it can bring you back to life AND unlock the potential of the universe :D

So what Fourze is telling me is...

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!:lol

I don't think it's been forgotten, just that he's doing a lot less now that the KRC is in place. He was running around making switches, testing fourze, running the power dizer, making foodroids etc etc... There's obviously a lot less stress on him physically now so thats possibly why its faded into the background.

Apparently friendship still can't get Gentaro a girlfriend, though. :p

Wasn't Miu basically begging to get him in the sack? Or at least dance with him at Prom?

And is Fourze better than Gokaiger?

Well, I'd say comparing the two series at the same point in episodes ... yes, Fourze at 32 is better than Gokaiger at 32. But it's going to be about how Fourze finishes that counts. We still have a lot of Horoscopes to go through, and the final power-up has already been shown.
