Kamen Rider Fourze Episodes 21 & 22: A Misguidance Counseling Session & Kicking Your True Nature



Pretty simple two-parter this time round! We get introduced to Sonada's replacement while she's on holiday / permanent retirement in the dark dimension, and while I have no idea if we'll ever see Gentaro's new homeroom teacher again, it's a good one-and-done. I can relate to her problem pretty well, having a passion that I'm not sure I could ever make into a long term sustainable carer, and while Gentarou's advice of "You don't have to sacrifice either, you can do both" is a little simplistic... he's Gentarou. Man's not known for his brains. And I do like the switch of the student helping the teacher figure their path in life. Good lesson for the kids at home about how, no, just because somene is older than you, maybe even your authority figure, they're not done learning themselves.

The mystery at play here is fine. It only takes a vague knowledge of toku tropes to realise someone else is the Switcher and there's only been one other new character introduced, and the explanation for why someone would try and frame new teacher is a little flimsy, but hey, new Zodiarts!
