Last time, on Kamen Rider Fourze...
My name is Cygnus, the heroic swan!
"To show simple kindness is a great burden!"
We're part of the Ugly Ducklings, a group of people that support Cygnus!
Congratulations, Cancer!
You are now officially a member of the Horoscopes.
Can a Zodiart really fight for justice...?
This hero they talk of, Cygnus... he's more of a vulture than a swan!
I don't need friends. A hero only needs his own judgement!
The Ugly Ducklings will only continue to grow, united in their desire to be of service to me.
Soon, this whole school... no, this whole city will worship at my feet!
So that's what you're after?!
He got away...
Meteor's gone, too...
Damn you, Cygnus! Who the heck is he, anyway?
I don't care who he is...
I will make him pay for what he did to me...!
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!

Aspirations of True Heroism
You had some nerve abandoning me like that, Ryuusei.
I'm sorry.
Am I cursed or something?!
It's alright. After all, Meteor was there to protect me instead.
Oh... Well, that's good, then!
So I've made up my mind.
I will avenge Meteor.
The real question is just who Cygnus is...
Right now, Toriisaki Misa is looking like the most likely candidate.
From what I heard, she was always lagging behind in the Ballet Club, but she's suddenly gotten really good out of nowhere.
That was right about when the first rumors started flying around about Cygnus, too.
Right then! Time for me to go back to the Ugly Ducklings.
I'll find Toriisaki Misa, and see what she has to say for herself.
Wait, Genny!
You're a real cutie, aren't you?
Wanna play a little game with me?
Leave him to me.
Need I remind you that you are to assist me?
Don't go acting on your own.
Well, isn't that quite the attitude.
We're equals now.
Listen to me. Cygnus is a very unique specimen.
I need you to make sure Fourze doesn't try to interfere.
Now go.
Fine, fine. Whatever you say, Principal.
What're you doing, exactly?
I'm trying to make contact with any lingering presence...
This was where we first encountered Cygnus.
I might be able to sense something here that'll tell us who Cygnus is...
You have that kind of power?
No. I just have a good feeling about it.
How foolish I was to expect her to be useful.
You're up next, Eguchi.
I threw a ball back to a family playing catch when it landed near me!
-50 points.
If you think I can't see through your lies, you're mistaken. We don't tolerate liars around here!
But I'm...!
Your silence tells me everything.
You know the punishment for—
Hold it!
Ya can't force other people to be kind.
Punishing them isn't gonna make 'em change!
You've got some nerve, newbie!
Then let me ask you something. If he's a liar, then what does that make you...
...Cygnus!
What did you say?
I don't care what you say, Cygnus ain't no hero.
I saw him in battle yesterday. He used one of my friends as a shield!
Toriisaki Misa!
You're Cygnus, aren't you?!
Yeah, I am. I am... Cygnus!
I knew it!
Because...
...we are all Cygnus!
Every single one of us is united behind his banner!
No, that's not what we meant...
I've nothing more to say to you.
Get out!
Well? You made contact yet?
No... I can't feel a thing...
Which makes this a total waste of my time.
Alright, onto the next spot.
But these are the only places we've ever seen Cygnus...
I know another.
Let's check out the spot Eguchi first met Cygnus.
You're right about Cygnus.
His sense of justice is completely warped, and he's gone crazy with power...
I saw him there too...
You were there?!
That's not all I've seen.
I've been there when he was attacking all those students, too...
That's weird though, isn't it? How did you manage to be there every time he was attacking someone?
I guess I just have a gift for running into heroes.
The first time was a month or so back.
Ever since then, I've wanted to be a hero myself!
But life never seems to go how you want it to...
My hero came to me though, eventually.
He was there to save me... my hero...
My name is Cygnus.
Will you fight with me, in the name of justice?
I've been crazy about Cygnus ever since!
I don't want to think of Cygnus as a bad guy!
I know how ya've gotta be feeling.
But you've gotta realize he's just using you.
You know, she's...
They're all like me there, you know.
We all joined that group because Cygnus had saved us. Or, in Misa's case, founded it.
Yeah, she...
Wait, what'd you say?!
That's quite enough of your nosing around, I think.
Kisaragi Gentarou.
He's back!
Words can really hurt people, you know. Sometimes you just have to accept ignorance is bliss.
You need to learn when to bite your tongue.
Wait, come back, Eguchi!
Now what did I just say about nosing around?
I guess you know what's goin' on here.
I'll make you spill it!

Let's do this mano-a-mano!
Well?
I can feel something...!
Eguch—!
He's acting kinda weird. Let's just watch what he does.
Cygnus!
I thought if I came here, I might be able to see you again...
You traitor!
Wait, why's he...?
Stay quiet.
How dare you rat me out!
Please, no! I was just...
You broke my bats!
I've gotta do something about that pincer!
SHIELD
SHIELD ON
How'd ya like this? Come on, just try and cut through it!
Very well.
Go ahead.
Okay, gimme a sec here!
He cut through Shield?!
Those are some crazy claws!

Yeah, not working.
That armor deflects lightning too, huh?
FIRE

Time for some steamed crab!
That was a close one!
I take it you understand how powerful I am now.
And I think that's the purpose of the exercise. Farewell!
Now I'm steamed at that crab!
So Cygnus isn't Toriisaki Misa?!
Then who's the real Switcher...?
Wish I knew.
Would you mind looking at this...?
This should put an end to this little mystery.
What's going on here?!
The heck...?
I don't believe it...
But at least we know who Cygnus is now.
Right, let's go take that Switch.
Wait a sec.
That's not gonna solve this.
I've got a plan.
Sorry to call you out like this, Eguchi.
What is it you want from me?
Oh, Tama...
Tama!
Have you found her?
Oh, Tama! Please come back, Tama!
Won't someone help us find our kitty?
Excuse me!
Excuse me, I need help!
Do you speak English?
Hey, you!
Never was good at English.
Hey, wanna go have some fun?
L-Leave me alone!
Don't be like that! I know this great bar!
Ya've got nothing better ta do, right?
Come on!
I don't want to!
Why... aren't you helping them?
Well, why aren't you? Didn't you wanna be a hero?
Come on, let's go.
Here.
Thank you so much, Mr. Hero!
What?!
You finally did it! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
What the—?!
Eguchi. You've taken your first step towards becoming a true hero.
My... first step...?
I wanted you to meet my friends.
And I wanted you to see the real you.
The real me...?
The one that loves heroes from the bottom of his heart!
The one that gave you the courage you needed!
The kind and honest you!
But there's another side of you. It was that opposing side that spawned the dark hero that controls you even now.
What? What are you talking about...?
Eguchi.
You are Cygnus!
What are you trying to say...?
Take a look at this.
"Please, no! I was just..."
There's no-one else there...
Then how did I...?
You have two separate personalities inhabiting your mind. Yourself, and Cygnus.
It's your Switch that did it.
It must have happened when you were given your Switch.
This will let you become a hero...
Me... a hero...?
That must have split your personality in two.
Creating a dark side beyond your control, that would take over and transform into Cygnus whether you wanted it to or not.
The reason you were there every time Cygnus attacked is because you were there - right inside his head.
And everything you saw appeared to you as if through someone else's eyes.
Then... I did all of this...?
What have I done?!
It's alright! You've managed to overcome your weakness!
Now all you've gotta do is hand over the Switch.
LAST ONE
You can't do it. You don't have the guts to give me up.
Even now, you still long to be the kind of hero I am!
You want the power I have!
So why resist me? Just press it.
Press the Switch!
Press it!
I don't need you anymore!
You did it, Eguchi!
This makes us bros!
Bros...?
That's right! We're bros!
I think not.
You're not going to cancel our little show, are you? It's just about to get good.
Eguchi.
We need Cygnus to lead us!
We need a hero to guide us!
So press the Switch!
Press it!
Cygnus! Cygnus!
No! I won't do it!
Master Cygnus...
Thank you. Now I am alone, as I belong.
I am finally free!
Cygnus! Cygnus!
How interesting.
His Zodiart personality has managed to break free of his human one.
You think this makes you free, Cygnus?!
No... Cygnus Zodiart!
I'll defeat you, and free Eguchi... cause we're bros now!

Blast off!
Is takin' hostages all you're good at?!
Why, Master Cygnus?!
I've pledged my undying loyalty to you!
Yes. And that makes you a pawn for me to use.
And there's plenty more where you came from.
No...
You massive coward!

Ow!
Will you just stop interfering for once in your miserable life?
And where are you going?
Who's there?!
You won't escape me this time.
Transform!
Cygnus.
It's time we settled this score.
How dare you stand in my way! I am a hero! I am justice!
I will destroy evil like you!
You're the evil one here!
Your fate lies in my hands.

Fourze!
Eguchi!
Did Cygnus' defeat restore his original personality...?
Well, I'd better get out of here!
Hey!
Eguchi!
You alright?
All that work for nothing!
You okay, Eguchi?
Come on!
Seems their little group's disbanded.
Well, I think Eguchi's learned how dangerous it can be to play the hero.
I don't think so.
I think his days as a hero are just about to begin.
Nice and slowly, now.
Showing kindness isn't always easy...
...but I'm always there to help those in need.
"...in the name of love and justice."
Kamen Rider Fourze!
Shun and Miu are graduating?!
All I want is to take Miu to the prom...
All the old Zodiarts are suddenly back...
Seems they wanna stop the prom happening.
You don't give up, do you?
