Thanks to Tokunation for the Giveaway opportunity! This has been a great year for Tokusatsu. Despite having so many moments to choose from, my absolute favorite was the “graduation” scene from Fourze.



Even watching it now, it gives me goose bumps to see how far the Amanogawa Kamen Rider Club has come.



As they recount their lessons learned throughout the year, I am brought to tears. It’s a cornucopia of feelings, however, as Gentaro’s un-henshined fight with Gamou was just plain amazing. Fourze is one of the few to make me awed and touched at the same time.



To finish off this wonderful ceremony, Fourze henshins and delivers an epic Limit Break on Sagittarius.









Already it is one of the best Toku scenes I’ve had the pleasure to watch, but what truly makes it my favorite, ever, is the undercurrent of forgiveness and friendship. Despite all of Gamou’s evil actions, Gentarou still proceeds to extend a hand in friendship. It was touching of the Kamen Rider Club to thank Gamou for being their principal. They held no grudge against him and the moral of the entire series has never shined brighter.



We later learned that the producers wanted to create a light-hearted series to make kids smile after the 2011 disasters in Japan. The gesture was heartwarming, and the series goes on to lovingly proclaim an enduring lesson in friendship and banding together in the toughest of times. It is a much-needed lesson in this difficult world, and its beauty is seen best in this amazing, touching graduation scene.

This scene represents all that is great about Fourze, Kamen Rider and Tokusatsu and thus is my favorite toku moment from 2012.
