Last time, on Kamen Rider Fourze...
I am Cygnus. The swan of justice!
"My small kindness will become a big problem for evil...."
I'm in the Ugly Duckling Society. We get together and show our appreciation for Cygnus.
Congratulations, Cancer.
You are now officially a member of the Horoscopes.
What are the chances that a Zodiart could be a good guy?
It's about their hero, Cygnus.
It turns out he's more of a Black Swan than a Duck Princess!
I don't need friends.
This city only needs one hero!
My worshippers, the Ugly Ducklings, will continue to increase...
and soon, the school and the town will all bow to me!
So that's what he's after!
He got away...
Meteor's gone too.
Friggin' Cygnus! What's his deal?!
I don't care what his deal is...
After what just happened... he's mine!
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!

The Motivation For Heroism
Ryusei. You ran away yesterday and left me alone.
Sorry...
Did she just hex me?...
It's okay. Meteor showed up to protect me instead.
I see, that's good...
So I've decided something.
I'm going to get revenge for Meteor...
We need to find out Cygnus' identity.
Currently the most likely suspect is Toriisaki Misa.
From what I've heard, she stunk when she was in the ballet club,
but lately she's improved a lot...
She started improving right around the time Cygnus first showed up.
Alright! I'm gonna head to the Ugly Duckling Society again.
I'll have a chat with her and find out what's going on.
Wait for me, Gen!
You're quite the cutie.
Care to play a little game?
Go on.
Your mission is to assist me in my duties.
Don't run around without orders.
The superior act, again...
I thought we were equals?
Listen closely. Cygnus is a particularly delicate case.
Keep an eye out, and ensure that Fourze doesn't cause any problems.
Go.
Sure, sure, I'll get right on that.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to make contact with a psychic imprint.
This is where Cygnus showed up.
If I can reach it, I might get a clue on his identity.
Do you really have special powers like that?
No. I'm just feeling it out.
I should have gone with someone else...
It's your turn next, Eguchi.
Today, I saw someone playing catch with their child,
and I threw back the ball they thought they lost.
Minus fifty points.
You're sorely mistaken if you think you can lie to me.
Lying is against the rules!
He lied...?
Can I take your silence as confirmation of your guilt?
I hope you're ready—
Hold up!
Kindness isn't the kind of thing that you should force on someone.
And you're squawking up the wrong tree if you wanna punish someone over it.
Stay quiet, newbie!
Let me ask this first.
If lying's against the rules, what about you...
Cygnus?
What was that?
This stuff about Cygnus being a righteous hero is a load of crap.
Yesterday in a fight, Cygnus used one of my friends as a hostage.
Toriisaki Misa!
You're Cygnus, aren't you?
Yes, that's right. I am Cygnus!
She really was?!
And...
Everyone else here, is also Cygnus!
We all are joined with Cygnus in spirit.
No, that's not what we meant...
This conversation is over.
Get out!
Did you find anything this time?
No, nothing at all.
I figured this was a waste of time...
Let's get going, then.
It's not like we know any other places where Cygnus—
Yes, we do.
Let's go where Eguchi first met Cygnus.
You're right.
Cygnus' sense of justice is twisted, and out of control...
I saw the whole thing.
You were there?
That's not all.
I know how he's been going around punishing other students...
But, how do you keep running into Cygnus when he's doing things like that?
I guess I just have a knack for finding heroes.
The first time it happened was a month ago...
I've wanted to be a hero ever since then...
But it was so hard to do...
And then... I met him.
A hero, who rescued me!
I am Cygnus. Let us fight in the name of justice, together.
Ever since then, I've dreamed about becoming like Cygnus.
That's why... I don't want to believe Cygnus is a bad guy.
I get how you feel, but you guys are being lied to.
That chick—
They're all the same as me.
We joined the society after Cygnus rescued us.
Even the president, Misa...
Yeah, Misa too...
Wait, what did you say?!
Whoa there!
I'd appreciate it if you kept your questions to yourself, Kisaragi Gentarou.
Here he is again!
Loose lips sink ships. Some things are best left unsaid.
You... talk too much.
Hey! Wait up, Eguchi!
I told you before, no more questions.
Seems like you know what's going on.
In that case...

Transform!
Alright! It's space time!
Let's settle this one-on-one!
Well?
I can feel something...
Eguchi...
He seems strange. Let's just watch for now.
Cygnus!
Thank goodness... I thought I might find you if I came here....
You traitor!
Is this...
Stay quiet.
You blabbermouth!
Forgive me, I just...
He cut it?!
Gotta defend against that claw!

How about now?! Try cutting this thing!
Don't mind if I do.
Come on, come on...
Hang on! Just wait up!
He cut through the Shield!
Those claws are nuts!

Time for grilled crab!
That was close...
Well? Understand how strong I am yet?
I'll let you off for now. See you around.
What about grilled crab...?!
Cygnus isn't Toriisaki Misa?!
Then who is the Switcher?
I dunno...
Take a look at this.
This has the answers we need.
What's this?!
What does this mean...?
I can't believe it!
But now we know who Cygnus is.
Okay, let's take the Switch.
Wait!
That's a bad idea.
Let's try something else.
Hey, sorry for calling you out of the blue like this, Eguchi.
What's going on?
Tama!
Honey...
Tama! Come out!
Could someone help us find our cat?
Excuse me for a minute...
Excuse me! I need help!
Can you speak English?
Hey, wait, wait...!
I'm terrible at English.
Hey baby! Let's have some fun.
No, that's alright...
Don't be like that! I know just the place we could go.
You're not doing anything, right?
Come on, it's cool.
I'm busy.
Why aren't you doing anything?
What about you? I thought you looked up to heroes.
Come on, let's go.
Here.
Thank you, Mr. Hero!
You did it! Congratulations!
Congratulations.
Eguchi. You just took the first step towards being a hero.
The first step...
You just met my friends.
And... you met your true self.
My true self...?
You really do love heroes deep down.
And that helped you muster a little courage.
The kind, considerate you.
But that love also gave rise to your opposite number, a dark hero that was controlling your actions.
What are you talking about?
Eguchi.
You... are Cygnus.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Look at this.
Forgive me... I was just trying to...!
I'm the only one there...
But why?!
The personalities of you, and Cygnus, are struggling for control within you.
It's because of the Switch.
You should have received one from someone.
Now you can be a hero...
A hero...?
Your personality was probably split in two after that.
Your dark side became dominant without you being conscious of it, and transformed into Cygnus.
The reason you were always around when he was active is because you share the same body.
You were watching yourself do things from outside of your body.
It was all... me...?
I can't believe it...!
It's okay! You've overcome that weakness already.
Come on, hand the Switch over.
LAST ONE
You can't... You won't give it up.
You still want to be me.
You want my power...
Don't be shy.... press it.
Press it now.
Press it!
I... don't need you anymore!
You said it, Eguchi!
You're one of our buddies now!
A buddy?
Yeah! A buddy.
Whoa!
I don't think so. Things are just getting interesting.
Eguchi...
We need Cygnus.
We need our hero to guide us!
Now... press the Switch!
Press it!
Cygnus! Cygnus!
No... No!
Cygnus! Cygnus!
Master Cygnus!
Thank you. He's gone now.
Now I'm finally free.
Cygnus! Cygnus! Cygnus! Cygnus...
Fascinating...
The Zodiart persona has suppressed the original...
You think you're free, Cygnus?!
Make that... the Cygnus Zodiart!
I'm going to beat you, and take my buddy...
I'll take Eguchi back!

Alright! It's space time!
Hiding behind a hostage again?!
Why, Cygnus?!
I swore to be loyal to you!
You're all disposable to me.
I can always get more.
That can't be...
How big of a wuss can you be?!

You're not getting away...

Cygnus...
I'm here for payback.
Stay out of my way! I'm a hero out for justice!
I will destroy all evil!
You're the evil one here.
And your fate is mine to decide...

Eguchi!
Cygnus being defeated allowed Eguchi to resurface...
Well now... I had better scuttle out of here!
Hey!
Eguchi!
You alright?
My special experiment's gone to waste!
You okay, Eguchi?
Go, go!
It seems the Duckling Society has broken up.
I guess he's had his fill of superheroes for a while!
Nah, no way.
His path to being a hero's just started.
Nice and easy...
A small kindness becomes a big improvement.
Even so, I appear without exception...
In the name of love and righteousness!
Kamen Rider Fourze.
Shun and Miu are graduating?!
All I want is to go to prom with Miu...
It's a group of ex-Zodiarts.
I think they're trying to stop prom...
You're not very smart, are you?
