Previously, on Kamen Rider Fourze...
This is the magnetism of our youth!
I was just curious as to who you really are.
I'm looking for the Aries Zodiart.
Only those who have surpassed Last One are capable of such evolution.
To become one of the twelve Zodiarts representing the ecliptic constellations.
Oh, how long it's been since we've had a new Horoscope...
Come with me, my new ally.
O herald of Cancer...
Thief!
Gotcha good!
The heck's that thing...?
To show simple kindness is a great burden.
Yet still, I will always be there to help those in need...
In the name of love and justice!
The heck do you think you are?!
My name is Cygnus... the heroic swan!
I heard he showed up again yesterday!
Who?
You know, our hero!
He's amazing, isn't he?
Apparently, he's got this really cool white costume!
You into that stuff?
Hey, that hero they're talking about... that has to be Fourze!
Man, gettin' called a hero like this is kinda embarrassin'...
Don't look so happy. The more people know about us, the more vulnerable we become.
"To show simple kindness is a great burden!"
"Yet still, I will always be there to help those in need..."
"In the name of love and justice!"
What on earth do you think you're wearing?
"My name is Cygnus... the heroic swan!"
Cygnus?
You don't know him?!
Get out from under your rock!
Cygnus is always there to help those in need! He's a righteous hero, fighting for justice!
Wait... there are more Kamen Riders than just Kisaragi and I?
We're part of the Ugly Ducklings, a group of people that support Cygnus!
If you're interested in him, you should come along and check it out!
We'd love you to come!
So if I come along, I can meet this Cygnus guy?!
Yeah!
Sorry, but we really don't have time for this. We have things to—
Let's go check it out!
Kisaragi!
If he's really a hero, then I just gotta meet him!
If Cygnus is half the guy you say he is, then I've gotta be friends with him!
Then I'll come too!
Me too!
I just have to know who this guy really is...
Then follow us, and we'll take you there!
You got it! Come on, Kengo!
Kengo, Gelatonia is amazing!
Hey there, Tomoko! You should come with us too!
Let's go!
Hey! We're meant to be testing #35 today! If we don't roll it out, it's your fault!
For god's sake...
Space... an unknown frontier holding limitless cosmic energy.
These youths will use the Astro Switches to break into space, and forge their own futures!
"Space on your hands!"
Now, take space into your hands too!
Fourze!
Ikou ze!
Let's go!
Oh yeah!

An Alliance with Cygnus
You are now officially a member of the Horoscopes.
Congratulations, Cancer!
Interesting, is it not, how fate brought me to you?
But enough of the pretensions.
I will do my utmost to meet your expectations, Chairman.
I look forward to it.
Still, it's quite the shock. Our Principal, a Zodiart. Who'd have thought it?
Our duty is to provide Switches to the students of this school, and seek out our fellow heralds of the Zodiac.
I have a most interesting sample on my hands at the moment.
Perhaps you'd like to assist me, and learn how we do things?
Can I ask you one little favor?
Go ahead.
We're both commanders now, right? And if I'm not mistaken, that makes us equals.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't order me around.
We have an interesting one on our hands here!
I believe the first point goes to him, Libra.
Yeah, I've heard of these Ugly Ducklings.
They're a pretty close-knit group. Their catchphrase is "You can be a hero too!"
So what, they're just a big ripoff of the Rider Club? Not on my watch!
Not really. Let's face it, they're just a glorified Cygnus fanclub.
Kisaragi's the one we should be mad at here.
We were meant to be testing Giant Foot...
Giant Foot?!
What, like... big feet?
Yeah, I've got big feet!
I know I have big feet, okay?!
But that doesn't mean I need shoes this big!
...What?
Mummy bought me some new shoes... and they're the totally wrong size!
Quiet, Shun. The grownups are talking.
Now, where were we...?
We were talking about testing the new Switch!
No, we were talking about the Ugly Ducklings!
What JK said. I agree it's important to test the Switches, but right now we need to know more about this group.
After all, Cygnus could well be a Zodiart.
So, do you always wear that around school?
Yeah.
Wow! You really do love Cygnus, don't you?
I do! I first met him in front of Amashiro Station...
We know you've got cash on you!
You ain't gettin' away!
Hand it over, kid!
My name is Cygnus.
Will you fight with me, in the name of justice?
I made a promise to myself...
That I'd do whatever I could to become a hero like him!
This costume is to show how dedicated I am to that cause!
A fateful encounter...
I just finished marking those tests, too!
Help me pick them up!
What?! Aren't you gonna help?!
He talks big about being a hero, but he ain't helpin' when it matters!
Sheesh...
Hey, move it!
Crab! It's the crabman!
Crab, crab, crab, crab!
Wait for me, Eguchi!
Cancer! That is you, right, Kijima?
What do you want?
Just paying my regards.
After all, you've done quite a lot for me.
Especially you.
You've got quite the nerve, revealing my identity!
You just have to let me thank you properly.
I don't think so! You'll be fightin' me, mano-a-mano!

Transform!
Blast off!
Cancer... one of the twelve heralds.
Let's see exactly what you're capable of.
Kengo, Cancer's attacking us!
He sliced right through it!
Oops!
His pincers must be incredibly sharp!
He has Kisaragi right where he wants him...
Kisaragi, use Hammer!
Got it!
HAMMER
HAMMER ON
He's tough!
It's hurtin' me more than him!
What's the matter? Come get me!
You little...!
Don't you toy with me, crabface!
CHAINSAW
CHAINSAW ON
Didn't hurt. Didn't even tickle.
Damn it!
DRILL ON
No way! None of Fourze's attacks are working!
The power I have now is incredible compared to Pegasus...
Kisaragi, use Magnet!
Alright!
Split, and in!
N+S MAGNET
N+S MAGNET ON
How about this?!
Are you serious?!
And that's enough toying with you. Say your prayers, now.
Looks like Meteor will have to intervene.
To show simple kindness is a great burden.
What...?
Yet still, I will always be there to help those in need...
Feathers...?
In the name of love and justice!
This monologue... don't tell me?!
My name is Cygnus... the heroic swan!
It's Cygnus!
Go, go, go!
He's so cool!
You can do it, Cygnus!
That pattern on his chest...
I knew it! He is the Zodiart for Cygnus!
Maybe I'd better leave while the going's good...
Now, this is where I'd just love to disappear in a puff of smoke, but... I'm afraid that's not one of my many skills.
So instead I ask: What do a marathon runner, a leaky faucet, and I all have in common?
I dunno, what?
We've gotta run!
Hey, come back!
Thanks for the save, Cygnus!
You're as strong as they say!
And you are too, Fourze. 30 points to you.
Alright!
Then how about you and I be friends?
Being a hero means living in solitude.
I don't need friends.
Damn, he's got style! I'm all fired up now!
I'm gonna make him my friend, no matter how much he turns me down!
I'm fired up too! Cygnus is the best!
I wanna be a hero too!
Can a Zodiart really fight for justice...?
So this is where the ducklings meet, huh?
Kinda, uh... worn down.
She's really elegant, isn't she? That's Toriisaki Misa, our group president.
Hey, Eguchi. Took you long enough.
So, why're you late?
I brought some guests along with me.
Nice ta meetcha!
Trash...
FRIENDSHIP
"Nice ta meetcha!"
An idiot...
IDIOT
A goth...
...and a pretty boy.
We don't need any of you.
We're the Ugly Ducklings, after all.
Just go home!
I really don't like her!
Let's just leave, Genny!
No way! I've gotta meet Cygnus again!
Me and him are gonna be friends!
Friends...?
The name's Kisaragi Gentarou!
And I'm gonna be friends with every last student at this school!
You're a funny one!
Take 20 points.
You can stay, then, if you like.
For real?
Alright, now we're talkin'!
Then let us begin!
It's time for us to share the goodness in our hearts!
I helped a lost child get to the police station today.
Well done, Bobuta. 10 points for you.
Thank you so much!
I watered some flowers that looked like they were about to wilt!
5 points.
I let a pregnant woman take my seat on the train.
8 points.
Everyone's got so many lovely stories to tell!
They're all so moving!
Earlier today... Mr. Oosugi's tests got blown away by the wind...
And I ran off without helping him pick any of them up...
You're really pathetic, you know that? -10 points.
But don't forget Cygnus' teachings.
If you try, you can do it.
Now, everyone! What are we?
The Ugly Ducklings!
But one day, we can all become beautiful swans.
We can be swans!
So let us give praise to our hero!
Cygnus!
We're all workin' together, and it's got me fired up! These are the roots of youth!
I can't deal with this.
Tachibana.
Can Zodiarts fight for justice, do you think?
An interesting question, coming from you.
Probability-wise, it's less likely than finding an off-line satellite drifting in space.
So, pretty much zero then?
I'm sure you'll understand this, as you're a fellow member of the Anti-Zodiarts Alliance.
But do not let your guard down around a Zodiart. It'll get you killed.
Roger that.
We're ugly, ugly, ugly ducklings!
But at heart we're swans, swans!
We're ugly, ugly, ugly ducklings!
But at heart we're swans, swans!
Cyg! Cygnus!
Hey, Ryuusei! This is a lot of fun, you should join us!
Oh god, please no...
Cyg! Cygnus!
What's the matter?
I don't feel too good...
Simple flexibility will let you do great things!
Then let's leave. I'll walk you home.
To show simple kindness is a great burden!
Simple flexibility will let you do great things!
To show simple kindness is a great burden!
You have to stay for the whole meeting. That's one of our rules.
Sorry, but she's not feeling too well.
And besides... I can't stand this forced atmosphere.
Boss, these Ugly Ducklings are pretty bad news!
You got us some info, then? Nice work as ever, JK.
How bad are we talking?
This hero they talk of, Cygnus... he's more of a vulture than a swan!
He's fine when you're praising him, but the moment you make any kind of objection, he comes to punish you.
Punish?!
Like... "send people to the hospital" levels of punish.
Then Kisaragi and the others are in danger!
I really didn't like the atmosphere in there either.
It seemed more like a ritual than anything.
That's rich, coming from a goth.
"That's good, coming from you." I know you must be thinking it.
No, I wasn't...
She's sharp, isn't she...
Seeing them all chanting like that... it reminded me of how I used to be.
Maes bruja beldecieris de la luna.
If you're just going to cling onto false hope, you're never going to get any stronger...
Yeah... and Cygnus was a no-show anyway.
I'm right here, actually.
You have quite the nerve, slighting my group like that. You must be punished!
Watch out!
He's not just trying to scare us... this guy's idea of justice is seriously twisted!
Tomoko, use the new Foodroid!
I have to let Gentarou know!
Cyg! Cygnus!
Wow, Ryuusei's really strong...
Damn it, I didn't mean to show my hand like that...
No way...!
Running off and leaving your friend to suffer alone? -50 points!
Poor you. Looks like you're having a bad day.
Gelatonia, please go get Gentarou!
No Zodiart is actually going to fight for justice.
METEOR, READY?
Transform!
My name is Kamen Rider Meteor.
Your fate lies in my hands.
So, you're the other Kamen Rider, are you?
Unfortunately, I don't really consider you to be much of a hero.
Then the feeling is mutual!
...we're swans, swans!
We're ugly, ugly, ugly ducklings!
Damn, that's cold!
The heck was that for?!
Wait, are Tomoko and Ryuusei in trouble?!
Let's finish this, shall we?
MARS, READY!
OK!
MARS
You won't find me as naive as Fourze, I'm afraid.
A hostage isn't going to stop me doing my job!
Meteor...
Maybe I am naive...
Don't you go dodging, now! You stand right there!
You coward!
An accurate deduction. I'll give you 10 points!
And a little bonus, too!
You had quite the nerve, beating up on me like that.
You need to be taught a lesson!
Stop it! Please, don't hurt him!
Cygnus! What're you doing?!
My duty as a hero. Bringing down this evildoer!
He's lying! He used me as a shield to stop Meteor!
Cygnus! I thought we could have been friends, even if you were a Zodiart!
I don't need friends. A hero only needs his own judgement!
Stop it!
I can't even get close...
Kisaragi! Use this!
Got it!
GIANT FOOT
GIANT FOOT ON
It's huge!
That's Giant Foot! Stamp down on the ground with it!
Like this? One, two...!
The heck's with the huge foot?!
It uses cosmic energy to dramatically increase the gravity around the target, and slams them down with it.
The foot is just an illusion, caused by the air being distorted by the pull.
I have no clue what you just said!
But I like it!
Eat this!
Don't overdo it, you idiot!
Huh? Where'd he go?
So, you choose to defy me.
-100 points!
Fourze!
Up until now, I have been little but your copy.
But now, I shall replace you!
My copy?! You mean... you wanna be me...?
What's the big idea?!
Kamen Rider Fourze!
I will avenge Meteor!
I don't want to think of Cygnus as a bad guy!
I am Cygnus!
That's quite enough of your nosing around.
I've got an idea.
