Next Ep Title: Light and Darkness Twins
Last time, on Kamen Rider Fourze...
The day of awakening is at hand.
Eliminate all who would interfere.
Friendship... is dangerous.
What you need now isn't friendship — it's ruthlessness.
Did you know that Virgo was Emoto all this time?
You're our enemy?!
Why did you make me into Meteor?!
Begone!
Meteor!
Virgo!
Libra! Let's go.
Virgo, what do you think you're doing?
I should be asking you that question.
I came by because I sensed your presence.
Or did you not want my help?
Your duty is to find the two remaining apostles.
Waste time like this... and I'll erase you.
That damned Libra... How much did he hear?
I need to hurry...
If he can't access Cosmic States anymore, then Fourze will have outlived his usefulness.
How could we have known Tachibana was Virgo...?
So much for training to use Cosmic's power!
And now Sakuta's in the Dark Nebula too...
You were almost lost, too.
That's...
Ryusei's...
Space... the final frontier, filled with infinite cosmic energy.
These young people will open the door to the future of space with Astro Switches.
Space is in your hands.
Reach out and seize the universe!
Fourze!
Ikouze!
Let's go!
Oh yeah!

Reign of the Archer
Shun... Is that...
A Zodiart Switch?!
It's just a pinecone...
What are we doing...?
Kinda looks like one, right?
A Zodiart Switch.
Gentarou...
I make the same mistake all the time.
Hard to not worry about Switches being left around.
But you guys should stop. Leave it to us.
What are you talking about...?
I just want you guys to be happy. That's all.
Seeya!
Remember to keep smiling!
What was that?
Right!
Looking good, JK.
Give it another shot, for real!
You could probably do this stuff professionally.
Just watch me, Hayabusa.
I'm gonna become an astronaut!
Yeah. I know you can do it!
Walk the straight and narrow to your dream!
Good luck. Bye!
Gen...
It's no good!
I can't find a way for you to use Cosmic States by yourself...
Okay... Well, eat up!
You're not gonna hold up otherwise!
Yeah... Thank you.
Alright! I've had something to eat...
Time to get back to training.
Training? You don't mean...
Yeah, gonna go train with Tachibana some more.
I never did finish.
I think if I can complete his training, we'll be buddies.
You're acting denser than a black hole!
He's the Virgo Zodiart! You can't become friends with him!
Nor do you need to!
Nah, we'll become buddies, and I think we have to!
This is the enemy commander that killed Sakuta and Nozama!
Ryusei's alive.
Here's the proof.
Astro Switches respond to their user...
If this thing is still spinning around, that means that Ryusei's still out there somewhere.
I see... You're actually right.
The same goes for Tomoko.
I can feel her out there, through this thing.
Virgo didn't kill either of them.
I'll follow you into hell, Kisaragi.
Nobody's going anywhere like that.
Not while I'm around.
Virgo. I hear you've sent Meteor to the Dark Nebula...
Weren't you going to leave him alive until you found out who had sent him?
Sir...
I've found the person who was backing Meteor, so I had no reason to leave him alive.
He belongs to something called the Anti-Zodiarts Alliance.
A man named Tachibana is the primary agent.
Tachibana...
Please leave matters regarding Tachibana to me, sir.
I know you're aware of this, but remember — friendship is dead weight that inhibits the path to evolution.
What makes you bring that up?
I told you once...
I am an arrow. An arrow seeking to pierce the truth!
I have not lost sight of that goal, Virgo.
Or rather, Emoto.
I'm aware, sir.
Good to see you, Tachibana.
You were actually waiting...
I figured you'd show up.
Very well. Let's continue.
Attempt to destroy this bottle.
And this time, your life will be on the line.
Sounds good. Maybe if we fight for real, I can figure out what you're really after.

Kisaragi!
You're definitely one of the Horoscopes...
But... you're a good guy!
What?!
I can tell that with this training...
You seriously want Fourze to become stronger.
Plus, Ryusei and Tomoko... They're alive, aren't they?
Abandon your notions of friendship!
If you trust your friends, they will betray you.
They're nothing but a source of weakness!
That's not it at all!
Friendship is power!
Friendship will ultimately crumble, in the face of overwhelming power!
It happened to me!
What?!
I struggled with whether or not to forsake my friends!
But once I did, I obtained this power!
I've figured something out.
When you use that power... You seem sad, somehow...
I'm sad?!
You've got the wrong idea!
Allow me to demonstrate, then!
The terror of facing absolute power!
The despair it causes! And just how powerless you are!
Become ruthless, Kisaragi Gentarou! Fight for your own sake!

Rider Super Galactic Finish!
Alright!
It's truly disheartening...
To have to personally destroy a part of this universe, which I built myself...
It looks like you finally understand.
You abandoned friendship, and ruthlessly sought the ability to use that Cosmic power.
You're wrong, Tachibana.
I was able to use the power of friendship to turn into Cosmic after all.
What...?!
Back before, I wasn't able to use Cosmic because I wasn't sure.
I thought that maybe if my buddies left the fight, that our friendship would fade.
But I was wrong.
When I went and checked up on them, I figured that out.
It doesn't matter if we're all together or not.
If they do what they believe in, and walk down that path,
then I can believe in our friendship.
I figured something out too, Gen!
You guys were here?
I'm scared of dying, but...
I'm more scared of running away!
I'm going to be in the Rider Club, and become an astronaut!
That's my straight and narrow! Okay?
You play dirty, Gentarou.
After hearing you root for me like that, how am I supposed to abandon you?
Jun chewed me out.
She said that instead of running from some monster, I should hurry up and deal with it.
That's what the queen, Kazashiro Miu, would do.
I used to be the king of AGHS, too.
I'll protect Miu. And you.
I can handle that much.
You guys...
Unbelievable...
A bunch of high school kids were able to overcome that kind of fear?
You may have thought that we were a weakness for Fourze, one that could be targeted.
But Kisaragi takes all ignorance, naiveté, and weakness — and he changes it into strength.
That's Kisaragi Gentarou. And it's what makes Fourze strong.
Friendship isn't dangerous.
Friendship....
is my buddy.
Friendship is your buddy...?
Yeah. If you avoid it out of fear, then it's meaningless.
But if you have faith, and accept what happens, there's no better power to have on your side.
That's why friendship is my buddy.
You win, Kisaragi.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to believe in the friendship you all think so highly of.
Ryusei! Tomoko!
Tomoko! Thank goodness...
It's okay, we're alive.
If I hadn't claimed to send them to the Dark Nebula, they would have been killed.
They were both asleep on the M-BUS.
The other enforcers I 'executed' are being kept there as well.
Sugiura, too?!
You have to tell us, Tachibana.
Why did you give me the Gate Switch?
Why did you want me to find the Fourze System?
And why did you make me into Meteor?
Please tell us, Mr. Emoto.
Professor Emoto?!
You were Virgo and Tachibana?!
I'm a traitor.
I couldn't afford them knowing I was the one responsible for Meteor.
That was what led me to donning the identity of Tachibana.
The reason I gave the Fourze system to Kengo, and the Meteor Driver to Ryusei was...
You wanted friends to help you fight, right?
Yes.
Kisaragi, no matter what happens, please protect your friends.
No matter what.
Alright, I promise.
Sagittarius...! What are you doing here...?!
It's quite a shame, Virgo.
I had thought you were going to be my partner, as we obtained universal truth together.
But I suppose your betrayal was foretold by the stars.
Tachibana!
Mr. Emoto!
You piece of crap...!
COSMIC METEOR, READY?
COSMIC ON METEOR STORM
METEOR ON, READY?
Transform!
It's space time!
My fate will call down a storm!
I think I'll indulge you.
Get to safety!
Kengo... You're with me.
Why take just me...?
Kengo...
There's something I need to tell you...
I chose power over friendship...
I was the one... who killed Utahoshi Rokurou.
You killed my father...?!
Listen to me, Kengo...
Utahoshi... he was—
You won't escape that easily.
Leo! Libra!
How dare you betray the Master?!
You will pay!
Kengo, they want to gather the twelve Horoscopes Switches!
You and the Kamen Rider Club have to stop them!
Please!
Wait, Mr. Emoto! Mr. Emoto!
Meteor Storm Punisher!
Ryusei!
I'll try this!
LIMIT BREAK
Understand now, boys?
This is the limit of your power.
Although, calling it 'power' may be an exaggeration...
We couldn't even scratch him...
He's so damn strong...
It seems that I'm the one who survived in the end, Virgo.
It's okay...
In the end, I had... friends...
Emoto...
Tachibana... I'm going to keep being Meteor.
I'll fulfill your wish.
Goodbye, professor...
Mr. Emoto. Here, on the moon, where my father rests...
I hope you two can rekindle your friendship.
But... in the end, what was Mr. Emoto trying to say?
Utahoshi... he was—
I made you a promise when we became buddies, Tachibana.
I'm gonna protect my other buddies.
No matter what it takes.
Kamen Rider Fourze.
I could hear a voice in space calling me...
Yuuki is one of the twelve apostles?!
Gemini is a unique constellation.
Meet the new Joujima Yuuki...
This isn't what I want!
