Fourze Episode 45- "Li-Bra De-Fects"
 

1. Kengo-Kun, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
2. Ran…Pisces? Impossible!!!
3. I must tell you the truth about everything....
4. How dare you betray Gamou-Sama?!?!?!

The final Horoscope revealed!!! Discuss the episode here!!!

At long last we have all 12 Horoscopes! Well give or take a few members. It's hard to believe we're at the final four!

Plus we'll find out just why the Core Switch is so darn important to Gamou and his plot.

It is crazy to think that we're down to the last month of Fourze. The more I see of Wizard the more worried I become :(

I'm worried too. I've grown to love Fourze's characters and it's going to hard to say goodbye to this show and follow the adventures of Kamen Rider Wizard. I was so giddy when I saw the suit designs but when we found out how he henshins and the monsters he fights, my fondness for him grew cold.

But for now I wonder how Ran's getting out of this mess

Holy Crap, Leo used Aquarius XD.

Don't remind me :(

Saw the RAW last night and I have to say I'm impressed Ran sticks by the Kamen Rider Club even though she used a Switch. Plus her Horoscopes Switch is blue, which is kinda cool. I wonder if that's going to be a minor plot point next episode.

Leo used Aquarius and to be honest I thought he didn't do as well as Erin did with it other than use a whip piece to track down the KRC which was oddly funny, considering he's Fourze's Gary Stu. Plus he fights Ran the next episode which looks like it's going to be a cool fight.

Kengo is at this point the Core Switch in human form. They're setting up something BIG with him and it's has something to do with that flash drive he found that says KENGO

Gamou was weirdly creepier this episode which says a lot since he was so chummy with Yuki's dark side the last arc. Serving them stew(which looked really gross to me.I would have reacted louder about it but when I saw the RAW it was late at night and everyone else was asleep in my house) one moment and doing his red eye trick on Gentaro the next, it really makes him worthy of his big bad status. Since he now has all 12 Switches in a sense he's close to reaching his goal and if I'm understanding this correctly, it's BAD since it involves destroying a ton of stuff and finally reaching his Nasca knockoff Supernova form.

A lot of stuff to look forward too next week. I'm excited for this next episode because of the mutant battle between Ran "Pisces" Kuroki and Kou "Leo" Tatsugami. Fourze has really been a pleasant surprise and Wizard has a lot I'm not sure it can live up to.

I haven't been following the rumors that closely. What's so worrisome about Wizard?

I knew there was a naming pun to Ran!

When Ran Kuroki's name is literally translated, the meanings are "unbarked lumber" (黒木 kuroki?) and "orchid" (蘭 ran?); the initials of these, "U" and "O", are the Japanese word for "fish" (魚 uo?), the symbolic representation of Pisces.

Pretty cool eh? Just found this out on Wikipedia.

I just love the duo-henshin between Ryuski and Gentarou. Those two could henshin together all day and I'd clap and watch while yelling out "YAY!".

Wow, loved this episode. Great action and suspense, and I can't wait for next week's episode. I just hope Fourze doesn't trip up so close to the end.

This was a neat episode. Other than "I cannot wait for next week's", I don't have much to say.

This one seemed like another one of those uneventful episodes that just build up more anticipation for the real meat of the story arc in the second part.

Sure, it was a fine episode, but nothing really happened that was earth shattering so it's a bit hard to discuss for me. Though one thing that I took notice of is how Tomoko looks nothing like she did at the beginning of the series. In fact... Everyone seemed to look a bit different in this episode. It was all very strange, and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Civilian clothes dude, civilian clothes :P

Now that you mention it... That might very well be the case.

Also, does anyone have a theory on the blue Horoscopes switch in the next episode preview? ...'Cuz I've got nothing.

It's the Pisces switch ...

Nothing happened?!

Libra revealed himself to the Kamen Rider Club.
Ran is revealed to be the final Horoscope, Pisces.
Libra revealed the identity of Gamou to the rest of the Club.
We saw Miu's house.
Ran used the switch to become Pisces, vowing to fight for the Kamen Rider Club.
Leo revealed himself to the rest of the Club.
Kengo found a USB drive called "Kengo" which I honestly believe isn't meant FOR Kengo, but actually IS Kengo ... as in Kengo is simply an android or something to that effect, he isn't real, they elluded to that time and time again with the whole "you seemed so inhuman at first" at the beginning of the episode.

Yeah, a lot happened. :p

The blue switch is nothing special. Emoto's switch was swirly and pink, because Virgo was swirly and pink. The Horoscopes have "special" switches that don't look like regular switches (at least, they don't anymore, maybe in the beginning of the series they did).

3 episodes left. I'm excited.

Finally watched the sub. That was an exciting episode to say the least. Seeing Libra change sides and seem to do so with some actual heart is really touching. He and Kijima were my favorite villains anyway, but to see Libra come over to the good side is actually something I love. He's a great actor with a ton of personality so I welcome this change. His lines were so heartfelt while protecting Ran. And on the topic of the Horoscopes being revealed IT"S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME. And very anti-climactic after the KRC not knowing for the entire series.

Don't be to sad as the show may end a new one will begin, and we shouldn't go in to it with a negative mind set. We should just enjoy a wonderful ending, and get ready for a new adventure.

Yes. THh new adventure of a wizard touching his crotch to henshin while his belt screams Hi! Hi! Hi! :lol

I'm actually kind of curious. "Not Decade" syndrome didn't hit Double very hard, but "Not Double" syndrome smacked the hell out of OOO early on, same for Fourze.
I wonder if Wizard will be filled with lots of "Man, Gentarou and Kengo were a lot better than [BLANK], Fourze's fights were so much cooler!, etc"

That was a very exciting episode, can't believe we only have three left but the way things are going Fourze is going to get quite a send off!

While Wizard may be a pleasant surprise we're going to rip on that belt of his for a long time.:lolol OOO swung his hand down below the belt too, but at least he was holding SOMETHING.

On topic we have a good bit to see next episode. The main thing is Gamou and his Day of Awakening(someone should do a picture of Sho' Kanabo saying "Bitch Please" becase everytime I hear about the DoA I keep thinking of TMNT:Fast Forward)

Also we'll learn what Kengo is. Whatever he may be, it seems to freak Yuki out judging by the preview.Could she know something about Kengo that causing her to fidget so much?

Also as I stated before Ran and Kou fight and that alone is something I'm very excited for.

I know myself, I'm wondering if they'll beat Gamou in 46 or not. It's certainly building up to stuff.

The fact Foundation X got specifically referenced shortly after the halfway point makes me wonder if they'll turn up again at some point. After all, evil as they may be, I can't imagine their plans align with Gamou's.

(And Gamou's plan itself isn't all that evil, just the inevitable fallout from carrying out his plan is. Whereas Foundation X's plans are just straight-up evil. Kinda like Museum, really).

I thought the movie with Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider OOO was around the same time Foundation X was brought up in Fourze, and low-and-behold, Foundation X was the main villain in that movie-team-up thing.

I really think that's all there was to Foundation X's appearance ... to relate it to the crossover movie and that's it.

Wasn't it awhile after the movie that Foundation X cropped up in Fourze?

They didn't turn up in the show until Leo's intro scene where he beat the crap out of the Foundation X grunts. While the movie takes place before Meteor's introduction.

Though I can't recall when they turned up in Fourze proper relative to when the movie got released on DVD.

Foundation X was in that episode only to prove MegaMax happened and to give a in-story reason why Gamou has the funding to make his Switches. They're meant to be a framing device, loosely connecting the Hensei shows together and giving a modern audience a Shocker for their generation.

BOT, does anyone think we'll see Sagittarius's Supernova next week?

I do hope to see more of Foundation X...just is nice to have SOMETHING to tie it all in, the random cross overs from the movies is just...forced...That is one thing I will give to the Decade series, it kinda sorta made sense to have W appear, but OOO and Fourze in their movie debut...not so much...

ANYWAY...I think we get Stat's Super Nova either at the end of next episode, or begining of the one after that...I will say I am looking forward to the wrap up segment. I may not have like Fourze in the Rider franchise, but the show is still good, and I do like the characters...

Sadly I don't see Foundation X showing up again in the show unless Gamou gets stopped next episode. Then they can pull a W and have the last 2 focus on Foundation X.

Really enjoyed this episode, nice to see my star-sign have a change of heart and become a little bit badass instead of being a coward.

Incredibly curious about Kengo now.. maybe he's a mini power dizer in disguise =p

I'm wondering about Kengo more and more as time goes on. Is he a energy being, a android of something else?

If what I'm going by next episode's preview is correct, Gentaro may be finally doubting that his need for friendship is the way to go through life. A crisis in confidence for our young Rider? Should be interesting who'll be the one to get him out of his funk if that's correct. Yuki? Meteor? Ran? Libra?

Just what'll happen next time on Fourze?

When the principal dude did his flying WWE jump on Ran,he could not be any more off. That was just so absurd looking to me.

At least he's not being a total wuss anymore. It's amazing how much Libra grew as a character in this episode. Ran also gains some badass points here too. Having Horoscope powers and being in control of them is impressive on her part. But I still can't help but wonder if Gen's going to doubt friendship's power during the final arc. I keep thinking back to 46's sub preview and the sentence,"Just what was the point of our school days?" is still fresh in my mind.

I think the only misstep is not having Ran or what's his name show up at any point between the Muscus arc and now.
