Kamen Rider Fourze Episodes 41 & 42:
All Club Activity Ceases & Reign of the Archer
(Full disclosure - I watched this like two weeks ago before a work trip so my memory isn't as fresh)
We're entering the endgame, as various mysteries resolve themself, and this two parter is devoted to Meteor's backer, Tachibana. I would've liked more Ryusei in the back half instead of being banished to the Dark Nebula, as he's had the most connection to the guy all series, even if it's basically a phone call every couple of episodes to make sure he's still killing Zodiarts. His characterisation as a double agent is fine, and does play on series long set-up, but Professo Emoto is a bit of a non-entity. His push for Gentarou to be ruthless, self-reliant rather than self-sacrificing, is a fine moral dilemma at this point in the show, but it was never going to work for him. Gentarou is an idiot, but he would never put himself above his friends. Even the return of Rocket States, which I guess he had in his pocket the whole time, is a signifier of his connection to other people.
I do like the stuff with the KRC breaking up, though. Virgo suddenly proving she can kill them at a moment's notice is crossing a line the other Zodiarts never managed, and at this point in the show, everyone is mature enough to accept there's nothing wrong with not wanting to die every week. But, of course, friendship wins out, whether it be Gentarou telling them that, just because they're not in the KRC doesn't mean they can't still remain in touch, to them deciding risking their lives to stop evil space monsters is probably worth it. It's the stronger of the emotional threads, for sure.
And in one final "Overall plot thread" thing, Sagittarius is here! He's very powerful
