Previously, on Kamen Rider Fourze...
Ran is Pisces...?
If all twelve Switches are activated, my life may as well be forfeit.
You'll be punished for your treachery, Libra!
I take it I now stand in the presence of all twelve Switches?
Gamou is the only one who truly understands me...
Now, sit still, and behold as I venture into the unknown!
Do you even understand how important friendship is?!
Kengo! Kengo?!
The time is presently 9:32pm,
July 16th, 1969
and we bring news that Apollo 11 has lifted off successfully.
Its arrival on the moon will likely occur on the morning of the 20th, Japanese time.
Got it, it's a promise! I'll come and see you too!
They have all twelve Switches in their hands now... Japan's as good as done for at this rate...
How's Ran doing?
She's still awfully weak, so they're keeping her in for observation.
Haru's keeping an eye on her, for once.
And what about Kengo?
He woke up a few minutes ago and went outside...
The Earth really is beautiful...
Kengo...
How're you doing...? Not too badly hurt?
I understand everything now...
I know why I couldn't become Fourze...
...and I know what was causing those weird attacks I had.
Because now... I know what I actually am.
What you are...?
What are you doing?! You'll die if you—
Hey!
I was born here, on the moon...
Kengo...
I am the Core Child, born from the Core Switch.
My body is nothing more than a materialization of Cosmic Energy...
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!

Best Friends Part Ways
I have access to all the information in the Core Switch now...
Best Friends Part Ways
It all just... poured into my head while I was unconscious.
It all begins 20 years ago, when the Core Switch was discovered on the surface of the moon...
To try and make contact with other sentient races across the galaxy...
...the Presenter left relics on numerous planets. The Core Switches.
They knew that only sentient life would be able to unravel their mysteries, and seek out contact with them.
So they were testing to see if we were capable of finding them...?
Utahoshi Rokurou and Gamou Mitsuaki worked together to unravel the secrets of the Core Switch...
...but their research left them with wildly opposing views on the matter.
While Utahoshi wanted to use the Fourze system to create a safe, stable warp gate into deep space...
...Gamou was determined to use the Zodiart Switches to force humanity to evolve.
Despite knowing full well the risks that posed...
Do you realize how long it will take to fully develop the Fourze system?
You'll be dead before you'd finish it!
Then the next generation can continue our work. Is that not our duty?
It'd be a waste!
With the drastic evolution the Zodiart Switches would induce...
...we could be the ones to go and meet the Presenter!
Once Gamou had succeeded in developing the Zodiart Switches,
he ordered his colleague Emoto Kuniteru to dispose of Utahoshi and the Core Switch.
But the two of them were blissfully unaware...
That on the day before they carried out their plan, a Core Child was born from the Core Switch.
Is this...?
And to that Core Child, Utahoshi Rokurou gave the name... Kengo.
And that's you, Kengo...?
But Emoto had a change of heart. He recovered me from the Moon,
and brought me to where I now call home... claiming I was Utahoshi Rokurou's son.
Okay, I can't process this anymore!
I don't know what's going on, and I'm starting to feel kinda depressed!
Alright, I need to get ready to leave.
Wait, what?!
Leave...?
What the Presenter are looking for are samples of other intelligent life.
The Core Child will mimic the appearance of whatever sentient race discovers it, learn about their culture and civilization,
and then return to the Presenter homeworld.
Then that means... you're going back into space?!
You're leaving us...?
Correct.
That's the reason I exist.
Don't look so surprised.
Wait, ya can't just—!
The Dark Nebula still won't open...!
The Core Switch...
To think it would be a thorn in my side after all this time...!
It served its purpose long ago! It should not be capable of this kind of interference!
Master Gamou, stay calm, I beg you!
Are you enjoying my misfortune too, Leo?!
No, Master! I swore my loyalty to you long ago!
Back then, I was so intoxicated with what power I had...
...but then you came, and showed me what the world truly has to offer...!
The heck are you?
What's up, gramps?
Shove off!
Get out!
My apologies. I spoke without thinking.
Supernova!
That form...!
If I am to make my journey, then we must purge Utahoshi Kengo from this world once and for all!
There you are!
Kengo...
This'll be my last time here...
Kisaragi.
Give me the Fourze Driver back.
The Fourze Driver, when used by a Core Child aware of their mission, will open up a warpgate...
The system prevented me from using it before, as it realized I wasn't yet ready to make the journey home.
Then those symptoms of yours were... because you're the Core Child?
They were a side-effect of the cosmic energy awakening within my body.
Kengo...
This body of mine is but a mere sample of the species known as humans.
No...
You ain't no sample!
You're my bro, damn it!
Ah yes, friendship. I'll be sure to remember that.
Your irrational state of being will be of great interest to the Presenter.
No way...
Is that really how you think?
All the memories we've shared, you, me, Yuuki, the Rider Club... they're just samples to you?!
Correct.
The moment I awakened as the Core Child, I stopped experiencing your human emotions.
Then why...
Why were you looking at the Earth like that before?!
You're comin' with me!
Kengo was... serious about all that, right?
Returning home to space...
It's like the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter...
His body started glowing, didn't it...?
And it looked like he just... didn't have feelings anymore.
But if his fate is really what he claims...
...then he's probably better off without them.
Oops...
It's sad, but... that's the way life is, I guess.
Tatsugami!
So this is your moonbase, is it? How quaint.
And right where Hayami said it was.
Now. Where's Utahoshi Kengo?
What do you want with Kengo?!
Run, you guys!
Sir!
Come on!
Ryuusei!
Rawr.
METEOR, READY?
Transform!
Your fate lies in my hands!
I've had enough of your little catchphrase!
Gentarou, can you hear me?
Get away from her!
You're not hurting one of my students!
Mr. Oosugi!
Ryuusei!
If Gamou makes his journey, the aftershock will kill you too!
Don't you care if you die?!
I swore my life to him long ago.
If I can make my Master's wish come true, then what happens to me is of little consequence!
Miu!
Ryuusei!
Kengo...
I remember when I first saw the Earth from the Rabbit Hatch... ain't ashamed to admit, I cried.
It was so beautiful, and blue...
But even though it was shinin' so bright, it seemed so sad, all on its own...
But seein' it made me realize how much I love this planet!
And when I saw you lookin' at the Earth like that... you had the same look I did.
Ain't no way you've lost your emotions!
I just...
I'll accept you, whatever you choose to do!
If this is somethin' you feel you've gotta do, then I'm gonna be here, cheerin' you on!
So I'm begging you... don't do this to yourself.
Drop the act already!
You can't lie to yourself like this, Kengo!
How...
How could I go through with it if I don't?!
I'm just a sample!
The only reason I exist is to fulfill my mission!
I don't...
I don't want to have to leave you all...
But this... this was always going to happen.
I can't back out of this...
Then go, Kengo.
What...?
But go as a human!
You go out there, with your head held high, as a friend of the whole world!
And make the Presenter our friends too!
Just promise me you won't forget us...
Cause we're gonna stop at nothing until we've found a way to come and see you again!
Sayin' goodbye like this might break our hearts...
And it might hurt now, but we'll come out of it stronger!
And we will always, always be bros, you and me!
Forever and ever...
You and I are best friends...
So I'll be with you, even if you have to go...
So you go and meet the Presenter...
...on behalf of all of us here on Earth!
And wherever you are, deep out in space...
...we'll come and find you, one day!
Kisaragi, Utahoshi... we've got trouble...
Sir!
What happened?!
They destroyed... the Rabbit Hatch...
Sir!
Guys!
Hang in there!
You took your time, Utahoshi Kengo.
Gamou.
Ryuusei...!
Chairman...
How could you do this?!
This Rabbit Hatch of yours represented everything that makes me despair for humanity.
And I cannot begin to tell you how agitating it is to know this little part of it had survived for 18 years.
Utahoshi's attempts to undermine me are honestly getting quite pathetic.
What did you say...?
Wasn't Professor Utahoshi your best friend?!
It's as I told you. I am the chosen one.
The heck are you talkin' about?
I don't get any of this!
It's unlikely someone of your limited intellect ever would.
To stand above is to despair for those below.
Now, Kengo.
If you'd be so kind as to hand over the Core Switch...
I'm afraid not.
Pardon?
Surely you must realize by now...
But you're not the chosen one at all.
The only person who needs to make the journey to the Presenter... is me.
Heresy!
If I must show you the depths of your inferiority, then so be it!
You're out of your depth!
What?!
No mere Zodiart is stopping me.
Leave him to me, Kengo.
3... 2... 1...
Transform!
Alright!
Blast off!
Stay out of my way!
Genny!
With our galactic bonds, we take space in our hands!
COSMIC
COSMIC ON
Gentarou!
The air's being sucked out!
Get out of here!
But what about you?!
Come on, Miu, let's go!
Go, Tomoko!
JK, keep her safe!
Got it!
Quickly, Tomoko!
Come on!
Ryuusei!
Yuuki!
Don't you dare let go, Yuuki!
Thank you for everything...
But please, you have to go!
But what about you, Kengo?!
Once I leave, the Hole will seal up...
...and Gamou won't be able to open his Dark Nebula!
The Earth will be safe!
So please, go! You have to live!
Kengo...
Take it, and go.
You do what you've gotta do.
I'm so glad I met you, you know that...
...Gentarou?
You finally used my first name, huh?
Guess so.
3... 2... 1...
Gentarou, Yuuki, Ryuusei... and everyone in the Rider Club...
I'll never forget you...
Go on... Go for it, Kengo!
Even now, you choose to make a mockery of my work...
Supernova!
I've never seen Gamou take that form before...!
No! Don't you dare hurt Kengo!
I will crush you into moondust, Core Child!
Gen... Gentarou...
Kengo!
On the final episode of Kamen Rider Fourze...
"I know you seven will be able to do this..."
"Because you're the best friends I could ever wish for."
The name's Kamen Rider Fourze...
Now let's finish this, mano-a-mano!
Switch on your youth!
