Kamen Rider Fourze Discussion Thread 2.0

[Savior Den-o]

I got one thing to say about this episode, Cosmic Mind was a step up for the Astronauts. It made me wonder if the medley for Giant Step actually had effort put into it.

I rather enjoyed Aries and think that his time on the show was short and sweet. Shame to see his costume go so fast though. I really liked it.

Yeah, and his Supernova was quite simplistic, i.e. horns growing longer and shoulder add-ons. That was his Supernova, right?

Cosmic State's fight was a rip off of Accel Booster but that's okay.

Perhaps it's the fact they used the same set as Accel Booster's debut. I personally loved it. I like the Barizun Sword's angelic/celestial-sounding voice when the Fire and Rocket Switches were inserted, and the Switch combo powers were awesome.

 

[ClimaxHeroDen-O]

well, seeing the raw made that fight all the more amazing. also, Fourze getting a warp drive is so cool!

as for the song, it's as I'd have expected. I loved Giant Step from the first time I heard it, and Cosmic Mind once again showcases the near-flawless duo of May'n and Yoshiharu Shina, which is good, 'cuz while I also do like Bounce Back(and am still hoping to be able to one day see the full PV), the balance between the singers leaned WAY towards the female singer, who also kinda drowns out the male during the chorus, which I think is a shame

additionally, I like how they implemented the other switch powers, with circle switches being transported to change the element of the Barizun Sword, while also being able to add a secondary power both to the sword and to any other modules activated

on a final note, as cool as having a rocket arm is, a rocket sword is ten times more awesome IMO

First of all, let me just say I knew the Cosmic Switch would be used in reviving Gentaro. Its no wonder that Switch is the strongest Astro Switch. It can even bring the dead back to life.

With that out of the way, here are my thoughts about Cosmic States:

OMFG, COSMIC STATES WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME. It beat Meteor Storm's debut by a hundred, no scratch that. A thousand percent. Allow me to explain why in 5 steps:

1. Its theme song, Cosmic Mind, fits this form. You could practically feel the form and song were in perfect sync. In fact, this song could very well beat Giant Step AND Bounce Back.

2. Its weapon, the Barizun Sword, really kicks ass. You gotta how it changes modes.

3. The Switch combinations it used were unbelievable.
* Rocket + Elek = Elek Booster Slash
* Launcher + Freeze = Chilling Missile Barrage
** Who knows what other combinations we'll see?

4. That Fire-powered slash it pulled was pretty badass.

5. Its finisher, Rider Super Galaxy Finish, was epic as hell. The way it dragged the Aries Zodiarts into space so he can deliver the mother of all Rider Slashes makes you think of Abare Max from Abaranger.

Overall, Cosmic States follows the tradition of the Rider's final ultimate form being their most badass form.

Oh, and JK's brief stand against Aries and Ryusei fighting the Dustards out of suit were pretty cool too.

.

. Tachibana can also communicate with the Rabbit Hatch? I hope he isn't a Shroud V2 (Though I really, really liked Shroud as the 'mysterious benefactor' and the plot twist with her being the Sonozaki mother was cool, I hope Nakashima and Sanjo don't go that route with Tachibana) And Tachibana could be the man who gave Kengo the key to the Rabbit Hatch.

I think this's likely because as we can infer from the preview of the next ep, Tachibana's suit is a modified version of the OSTO uniform that Kengo's father and Gamo are seen wearing, meaning he's likely a former co-worker of theirs(possibly Kengo's father, though it'd slightly disappoint if he was), and withe how he resides in a satellite, it is plausible that he'd be able to communicate with other OSTO locations and technology

. Cosmic State's fight was a rip off of Accel Booster but that's okay.

umm, no. no it wasn't. Accel Booster's fight was him mostly flying around dodging missiles before using his Engine Maximum Drive to slash through the Commander Dopant, while Cosmic State was Fourze going all-out on the essentially helpless Aries Zodiart, before blasting him into outer space and finishing him off.

I would've liked Cosmic States keeping the Showa Rider antennas. The Barizun Sword...that thing is gigantic when the blade is fully extended.

 

[ClimaxHeroDen-O]

well, I think the helmet spike and the removal of the antennae helps make the helmet more stramlined and aerodynamic, and the helmet is certainly intimidating enough with the deep red eyes and facial markings

that said, I am very fond of this kind of final form which is like a super-powered version of the rider's normal form

 

[hmf_master]

Fourze Cosmic State was just amazing
Especially when Gentaro activated the Cosmic Switch and all the other switch that Kengo had in his case combined to create the touch screen chest for Foruze was pretty cool

Also I after watching episode 32 I am now wondering how powerful is Virgo, because she is saying that Fourze Cosmic State is Fourze almost reaching her level so powerfulness

 

[Tokuboy]

Cosmic States looks like someone wanted Armed Hibiki or King Blade to return.

 

[Psychotime]

Blade's King Form was good, what are you talking about?

Am I alone on this?

Haven't watched the episode yet, but I've said before that Cosmic States looks terrible.
