Last time, on Kamen Rider Fourze...
Our awakening draws near.
Any who interfere must be purged.
This friendship of yours is dangerous.
What you need now is not friendship, but cold, calculating detachment.
Did you know that Emoto was Virgo?
You're our enemy?!
Why did you make me into Meteor?!
Begone!
Meteor!
Virgo!
We're leaving, Libra.
Virgo... would you like to explain that one for me?
I could be asking you the same thing.
I merely sensed your presence, is all.
Am I not allowed to assist you now?
Your duty is to find the remaining two heralds.
Stick your nose in where it doesn't belong, and I'll erase you too.
Damn you, Libra... how much did you hear...?
I need to hurry...
If I can't help him attain Cosmic State again... then Fourze will be of no use to me.
All this time, Tachibana was Virgo...
I guess training you to reach Cosmic was all a lie!
Now he's sent Sakuta to the Dark Nebula too...
You'd have been next, if they hadn't left.
Is that...?
Ryuusei...
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!

Shun! Look, over there!
A Zodiart Switch?!
It's just a pinecone...
What were we thinking?
Does look kinda similar, huh?
To a Zodiart Switch, I mean.
Gentarou...
I do that a lot too.
First thought you have is, someone's dropped a Switch.
Just learn to forget, guys. We can handle it on our own.
What are you trying to say?
I'm happy as long as you're happy. That's what really matters.
I'll seeya round!
Oops!
That was weird...
That was pretty awesome, JK.
You oughta become a dancer.
You've got the skills to go far.
Just watch me, Hayabusa!
I'm going to become an astronaut, no matter what!
Yeah. If anyone can, it's you!
Keep your sights on your dream, and blaze a path straight to it!
Never give up, alright?
I'll seeya round!
Genny...
It's no use...
No matter what I try, I can't seem to find a way for you to reach Cosmic State on your own.
Alright. Well, have something to eat.
You ain't gonna get anywhere on an empty stomach.
Yeah... thanks.
Right! Now I've eaten...
...time to go finish my training!
Your training?! Oh, don't tell me...
Yeah. My training with Tachibana.
We never finished it.
Once I do, then I can be friends with him.
You are seriously black hole levels of dense!
He's the Virgo Zodiart! You can't seriously expect to be friends with him?!
Why would you want to?!
No, we can be friends! No, we have to be!
He killed Sakuta and Nozama! He's our enemy, damn it!
Ryuusei's still alive.
Here's the proof.
Astro Switches respond to the emotions of the person using them.
So if this is still spinning, then Ryuusei's gotta be alive out there.
Huh... you're right, now I think of it.
I know Tomoko is too.
I can still feel her through this baby.
Virgo didn't kill either of them...
Then I guess it's to hell with us both, Kisaragi.
Hey, no intention of taking you that far.
Not if I'm around to help it.
Virgo. I hear you've sent Meteor to the Dark Nebula.
I hate to point out the obvious, but I did ask you to ascertain who was pulling his strings first.
Well...
Once I found out who was behind Meteor's existence, I considered it prudent to eliminate him now.
Oh...?
His benefactors were the Anti-Zodiart Alliance.
They were headed by a man known as Tachibana.
Tachibana...?
I will deal with him next, if you will permit me to do so.
I'm sure you understand this already, but trifling emotions like friendship will only serve to hold back our evolution.
Why bring this up now...?
It's as I said to you, that fateful day.
I am an arrow... and I will fly resolute in pursuit of the truth.
And I assure you, my target is still in my sights, Virgo.
No... Emoto.
I know, Master.
There you are, Tachibana!
To think you'd actually be waiting for me.
I knew you'd come.
Very well then. Let us continue.
All you have to do is destroy this vase.
However, this time... your life will really be on the line.
Fine by me! Fighting with everything on the line's the best way to understand someone!

Kisaragi!
I know you're a Horoscope...
But you're a good guy, you know that?
What did you say...?
You're really serious about training me...
...and trying to make Fourze stronger.
And... you saved Ryuusei and Tomoko, didn't you?
You need to cast aside your friendship!
Trust in your friends, and you'll only be betrayed!
You just leave yourself open to be manipulated!
That ain't true at all!
Our bonds give us power!
Your feeble bonds will shatter before the might of true, unyielding power!
I am living proof.
What...?
I betrayed a friend, and left him to die... it tore at me for a long time...!
But when I overcame my doubts, this power was the result!
That's why...
Whenever you use your power, you always seem kinda upset about usin' it...
You think this saddens me...?
Don't patronize me!
Then allow me to demonstrate...
The fear that unstoppable power can bring...!
...and the despair you will feel at being powerless to resist it!
You must remain detached, Kisaragi Gentarou!
You alone must fight this battle!
COSMIC
COSMIC ON
He changed into Cosmic...!
LIMIT BREAK
RIDER HYPERGALACTIC FINISH!
Alright!
It truly is regrettable...
After all I did to nurture my cosmos, I am now to be forced to destroy it...
You've finally taken my words to heart.
By casting aside your friendship, and remaining calm and detached, you have re-attained Cosmic's power.
Not quite what happened, Tachibana.
I got Cosmic back by believing in the bonds of our friendship.
What...?
The reason I couldn't become Cosmic before... was 'cause I was doubting my own heart.
If they weren't here fightin' alongside me, would our friendship really survive...?
But I was wrong.
When I went and saw them all, I realized...
Friendship ain't about being together 24/7.
As long as they're all heading to where they wanna be...
I wanna support them, too.
I realized something too, Genny!
You guys came back?!
I'm scared of dying, I know, but...
I don't want to run away, either!
I can be in the Rider Club, and become an astronaut!
That's the straight path I'll take!
You know how to wound, Gentarou.
How can I turn my back on you if you're there supporting me?
Jun really laid into me for leaving, you know.
"You're not the type to run from some monster! You should be there, leading the fight!"
"That's the Queen Kazashiro Miu I know!"
And I was her, and Ama High's, King.
I'll protect Miu, and protect you as well.
That's the least I can do.
You guys...
This is ridiculous...
Are mere high school students really capable of overcoming this kind of fear...?
Maybe you're right. Our presence might be Fourze's biggest weak spot.
But Kisaragi has the ability to turn all our young naivety and weakness into strength!
That's the kind of man Kisaragi Gentarou is... and that is Fourze's true power.
Friendship ain't dangerous at all.
Friendship...
...is my bro!
Friendship is your... bro?
Yeah. If you abandon it in fear, ain't nothing it can do to help you.
But when you accept it, and open up to it... you couldn't ask for a better ally.
That's why friendship's a true bro!
It seems you've bested me, Kisaragi.
Maybe it's I who should try believing in this friendship of yours once more...
Ryuusei... Tomoko...!
Thank god you're safe, Tomoko!
I'm alright. And alive, as you can see.
If I hadn't pretended to send them to the Dark Nebula, they'd both have been killed.
So I placed them in suspension aboard the M-BUS.
As I did with my fellow Horoscopes I "executed".
Then Sugiura's alive too!
I have a question for you, Tachibana.
Why did you send me the Gate Switch?
You led me right to the Fourze System.
And while we're at it, why make me into Meteor?
Please tell us, Professor Emoto!
What...?
Professor Emoto!
You're Virgo... and Tachibana?!
More than that. I'm a traitor.
But I couldn't allow them to find out I was behind Meteor.
So I adorned this mask, and assumed the identity of Tachibana.
I led Kengo to the Fourze System, and gave the Meteor Driver to Ryuusei...
...cause you wanted allies to help you, right?
Right.
Kisaragi. No matter what happens, make sure you keep your friends safe.
No matter what, you hear me?
You got it. It's a promise!
Sagittarius... why are you here?!
I'm very disappointed, Virgo.
I had hoped you would be standing at my side when I discovered the truth behind this cosmos...
But it seems your astral destiny dictated you would betray me.
Tachibana!
Emoto!
You bastard...!

Fate shall let me call forth the storm!
I'll play your little game.
First, I'll send you to safety.
Kengo, you're coming with me.
Why just me...?
Kengo...
I have something I need to tell you...
My hand was forced. I had no choice but to betray my friend.
I was the one... who killed Utahoshi Rokurou.
You killed my father...?
Listen to me, Kengo...
Utahoshi... isn't your...
You won't escape us that easily.
Leo... Libra...!
You dare betray our Master?!
You will pay for your insolence!
Kengo, their goal is to assemble all twelve of the Horoscope Switches!
You, the Kamen Rider Club, are our last hope of stopping them!
I'm counting on you!
Come back, Emoto! Emoto!
METEOR STORM PUNISHER
Ryuusei...!
I'm gonna take you down...!
LIMIT BREAK
I take it you understand now, you naive children.
This is all you are capable of!
Not that you are truly describable as capable in any meaningful sense.
We couldn't even scratch him...
He's way too damn strong...
For all your taunting, Virgo, it seems I managed to outlive you after all.
I can die happy...
...knowing that I died... having friends again...
Emoto...
Tachibana... I'll still be fighting, as Meteor...
That's what you would want.
Goodbye, Professor...
Emoto... maybe here, where my father lies at rest...
...the two of you will be able to forgive each other.
But... I wonder what Emoto was trying to tell me back there...
Utahoshi... isn't your...
You're my friend, Tachibana... and I'll keep my promise to you.
I'll protect my friends...
No matter what happens...
Kamen Rider Fourze!
I heard a voice call me from space...!
Yuuki's... a Horoscope?!
Gemini is a rather interesting constellation.
This is the birth of a new Joujima Yuuki!
I never asked for this!
