Fourze Episode 42- "Reign Of The Archer" Discussion
 

Virgo is Tachibana is Emoto !

With that revelation, Meteors' abduction, and Gamou finally revealing the power of Sagitarius what surprises are in store for us this week?!

Technically, Tachibana is Virgo, and Emoto is Virgo, but we don't have full confirmation that Emoto is Tachibana.
Just saying.

Dude :lol He is. He set M-Bus to auto-henshin for Meteor. Only the real Tachibana (who was seemingly absent from the satelite itself) would know that.

Hey, this is the kinda Shyamalan level twist they'd probably throw at us :P

Hell, they could probably toss in Kengo's dad being alive and being the real Tachibana, but had Emoto dress up as him and go down to Earth. Anything is fair game in this show now XD

Kengo's dad is ACTUALLY the teacher with the overalls. I'm calling it now.

If that does happen-

:lolol

The only thing I'm absolutely sure will happen in this episode is Gen getting his ass kicked.

Other than that, it's fair game as to what happens next. For all we know Everyone, Space is Here could just be a flashback and Kain could get his unhappy ending with everyone that's in the Dark Nebula gone forever. Which would royally suck mind you as having such a dark ending to a light hearted series would be jarring to say the least.

Okay from the looks of the Preview for the next episode after this one, Gamou has set his sights on Yuki. Also, Gemini appears and Yuki is tied up by Gentaro in the Rabbit Hatch...could this mean that Yuki is Gemini?!

I guess I was sorta right about Yuki being a Horoscope, but I'd never imaged her to be the Gemini member! Funny how she may be on Gamou's camp after all this time. A ominous bit of news indeed.

Let's see if friendship can survive this development!

Spoilers.

Okay, so I watched the unsubbed RAW and it's just a little confusing. Virgo goes from being enemy to friend? We do get confirmation that yes, Emoto is Tachibana, as he removes the helmet to reveal he is Emoto. But I don't get how he befriends anyone ... and it looked like the "Dark Nebula" is actually the MBUS? I'm not sure, I don't get Japanese so I was a little confused.

I was wrong about Libra. He turned on Virgo to up his own status with Gamou. Shame, it could have been an interesting arch for his character (instead of the boring one we've had since the beginning of the show).

Gamou is nucking futs powerful. I mean holy wow.

Loved the henshin with Ryusei and Gentarou though.

Next week ... Yuuki conspirasists were right. Yuuki is Gemini. Two-faced? Two-sided? Just can't believe that it ends up being Yuuki of all people.

But we're still missing one more after that.

I'm shocked that Emoto was a ally to the KRC and not Gamou as we originally thought. Even more so when he dies at the hands of Sagittarius and Leo. You shall be missed Emoto.

BTW what's everyone's thoughts on our new Horoscope Yuki Jojima AKA Gemini?

His death was tragic. He finally revealed his intentions and smiled truthfully and ends up getting shot in the back through the chest by the person he allied himself with to betray his best friend. After all of that, he still proved his worth and managed to protect the other KRC members and Kengo before dying a really tragic death. The feathers everywhere for some reason to me was really powerful- it was kinda symbolic to me. Like it was Emoto's redemption by becoming the KRC's guardian angel before being struck down by Leo. He truly will be missed. As for Yuki being Gemini, I guess that meant that Libra could see it before, but finally decided to relay the information to Gamou to get his favor after Emoto was revealed to be a traitor. I think that Gamou will hypnotize her with his Jedi-Red Eye mind tricks and that's how she'll become Gemini.

Wow. So Gamou can just walk through Fourze and Meteor? Okay.

Also, Emoto admitting to Kengo that he was the one who killed his father was nice. The M-BUS being the Dark Nebula is nice too. Maybe we can get the Nebula'd enforcers vs. Gamou and Leo.

And Yuuki is Gemini? Neat.

Yes! Finally confirmation that Kijima is alive!!

Also, great episode. Very powerful. Loved Emoto's redemption and his death. Though I'd like to know what he was going to say about Kengos' dad. Looks like Gamou has the Riders beat though. There are no switches or forms left for either rider outside of the movie exclusive Fusion States. So what trump card do they have in this situation?

OK I'm all but certain Gamou only want the Switches at this point, but he was looking rather depressed about having to kill Emoto. Do you think he's beyond redemption this late in the game?

Still that scene when Virgo gave his all to save Kengo and the club and ending up dying for it, that made me tear up a good deal. I'd never thought I'd say this about Virgo, but I'm going to miss seeing him around.

Holy crap Sagittarius is awesome, I hope we get a lot more fights with him. Interesting to find out the "Dark Nebula" is just the M.B.U.S. I wonder if the club will make any on screen effort to get the others from there before series end. Next week looks to be really good.

Perhaps the Horoscopes will commandeer it as a mobile fortress sometime around the finale. I mean, if you want to rule space you'd want a base that right smack in the middle of it.

Sagittarius is indeed awesome and I'm glad such a great villain has my starsign as his main design feature. Really looking forward to seeing more from him.

And this series continues its trend of making me go "WAIT, WHAT?!" with each passing episode. Sagittarius is beastly, but that's sort of the norm when the big boss shows up. I'd love to see Gentaro harness the power of all the friends he's made throughout the series to beat him (Maybe even grab all the actors/actresses for the final episode for a glorious group "UCHU KIITAAAAA!").

The next episode seems pretty insane too. That face Yuki makes before clicking the switch was sort of scary. As much as I'd love to see Yuki just go full on and irredeemably bat-shit insane evil the set up of that episode preview really gave potential that Yuki isn't the Horoscope at all. Maybe that's just me though?

I also think that it's not Yuuki, but that Gemini can create a double of a person.

Wow, a plot twist, wrapped around a plot twist, stuffed in a plot twist...what a ride this episode was!

And then next episode....damn! Fourze is really picking up!

Fantastic episode, for weeks I've been thinking Fourze can't get any better than it is already and then it goes and delivers without fail.

Some really powerful emotion, and a crazy powerful big bad. Really looking forward to next week now with the surprise revelation in the preview.

Man oh man...this weeks episode was great! I'm so glad that Fourze has really picked up the last few episodes and I'm thinking the finale is going to be spectacular. What first started off as a "meh it's alright" feeling about the show has now henshin'd (hehe) into a "OMG this series could be one of the best I've seen in a while!". Definitely looking forward to next weeks episode as well as the remaining few before the end!

One half of Gemini is Yuki, the other is the Hayabusa-kun puppet. Calling it now.

You think There will be a new switch to surpass cosmic?

Well, we don't know what the Core Switch is yet.

I actually thought of this myself. Yuki is definitely imbalanced enough to create another persona to become Gemini, using Hyabusa-Kun as the vehicle for that other personality.

Honestly though if they were ever going to do Gemini right they missed their perfect opportunity during the Kyknos arc. The guy created an entirely new personality that became it's own entity.

These last two episodes have really turned this series upside down, first with the revelation that Emoto is Tachibana (since most of us knew that he was Virgo), and now all hell is breaking loose. I think the Core Switch may be the key to defeat Gamou once & for all, since neither of the two Riders nor their Limit Breaks could put a dent on Sargittarius. While I like the series from the beginning, I think like OOO they have really step it up in the final arc of the series, and now it's getting better with a promise that the finale could really knock us off our feet.

You mean Cygnus?

Brilliant episode. Emoto was the guardian of the club all along, so virgo as his form now makes so much sense =p Sagittarius is an absolute beast, so there goes my can't beat Fourze, but I did also say that maybe they just don't want too.

Also I didn't take it as the Dark nebula is the MBUS but that he was just sending them there instead. As for the real Dark Nebula? I don't know, maybe the black hole above the school?

Concerning next weeks preview it says that the gemini switch has special properties, so maybe it requires it's host to not actually be the switcher but gains its form based off the suppressed emotions of the would be switcher... if that made any sense. I've always thought of Gemini as a sort of Yin and Yang type thing, light and dark. so Yuki's actual self is the light twin and her suppressed emotions/ideas are the evil one. For example Yuki want's to be the new club president yet Miu is in her way. Now the Yuki we know wouldn't hurt Miu or be too bothered by it, but a part of her psyche, the one amplified and manifested by the gemini switch would. So it is Yuki.. but not her physically

That does make a good bit of sense. The title may be Light and Dark Twins or Gemini Light Dark Twins depending on how I'm reading this so it just may be what happens next week. But just how on Earth is Gamou going to get Yuki to even hold the switch, let alone use it.

Yeah but remember everyone called him Kyknos. I couldn't remember Cygnus. Either way that arc was tailor made for gemini.

Gamou is pretty famous, to Yuuki at least (Remember when she tried to appeal to him to rescue Kengo when he was trapped on the moon?).
I'm pretty sure she'd do anything to get on his good side...

And if all else fails he can disguise it as a pinecone =p

:lolol I can just see it now:

Gamou: Yuki, I was planing on joining a mock war role play and I'm having trouble with thinking of pinecones as detonators. Could you be a dear and help me out?

Yuki: Yes I will, Mituaki-sensei! Watch me Hayabusa-kun!

"accidentlly clicks Zodiart switch button"

To discuss more about the episode I was so glad to find out that Cosmic works just fine as long as Gentaro has faith in the power of friendship. With that in mind I wonder how they'll deal with keeping Cosmic from popping up so much now that we know it'll work with a friend being out of commission.

Also there's the little thing of how they're going to deal with Sagittarius at the finale. They may end up using Core to boost Cosmic and Meteor Storm's powers for that exact purpose.

I'd also like to briefly draw a comparison between Gamou and Ackdos Gils of Gokaiger.
This is how tension is built by a villain. Not by brooding in a chair since introduction and never taking action until, literally, the final episode, but by showing what you can do, how you're superior to the heroes, and, overall, what the heroes will have to overcome by the finale.

WHY!?....why did fourze wait till it's last episodes before becoming good?
