Oh! Isn't that the spot where Kuuga had his last fight with Zu-Baduu-Ba?
Nope, Kuuga beat Zu-Badaa Ba with Dragon Form using Splash Dragon next to some building (Not the usual building complex that they use in Toku today). He did defeat Go-Badaa Ba somewhere similar however, but it's probably not since there was no bridge there. Unless they somehow built a bridge in the last 10 years.
 
I think you have Go-Badaa and Zu-Baduu confused.

I made a quick check, and I'm still convinced they're the same building, but there was some obvious construction and renovation in the last 10 years. They have the same logo and thankfully both episodes have long shots to show off the general look of the building itself.

What is that logo anyway? A scale? Is this a law building or something? Seems like an odd place that'd want to rent out it's area for a kid's show about dudes in rubber suits fighting each other.
 
Another great episode of Fourze!

-Oh dear lord, nerd Kusaka is back! Honestly, Makise was the last former Zodiart I ever expected to be back in the show. He's the one Zodiart Gentaro never even bothered making friends with! And I thought that with what he did in his arc that he should still be in the hospital... women can be pretty ruthless when angered :sweat:.

- AQUARIUS!!! Personally, I think she has a really nice design along with a neat ability that helps her stand out among the other Horoscopes on the show. Speaking of her ability, could that be Aquarius' Supernova? She's seen Gamou, and I can imagine Gamou giving her a Supernova to help even the odds against the Riders and their Ultimate Forms. As for her Switcher, I like Erin/Eleen, she's just a half-American young girl working towards her dream as best she can and even seems to take a liking to Gentaro which considering this is a Kamen Rider show, probably won't go anywhere. And though she has anger issues, I think her anger had a valid reason most of the time. And what happened to her dad really does suck.

- It's nice to finally have focus back on Yuki, though I've always been entertained by her Genki Girl antics. Though even I have to admit that Erin/Eleen has a point when she says you can't take space lightly and while I know Yuki really doesn't, I think she could learn to be a little more serious about it. Well, these arcs seem to be giving the club members some lasting development so hopefully it'll all work out.

- I think Libra now hates Fourze as much as Sonoda did after she was beaten. You can just see it in his face and how he talks when he comments on how Gentaro just barely managed to pass the test. The hate is just seething from his mouth. It helps that Fourze has essentially ruined all his plans and that until he went Supernova he's only had success through pure luck. Not to mention how Fourze beat him pretty bad in Cosmic States. All in all, it's a definite change from the beginning where Libra claimed Fourze didn't have the power to beat him.

- I'll admit it, Ryusei's breakdown took me by surprise. Normally he's the sane and professional man of the club along with Kengo, but as soon as things start going crazy he breaks out his battle cries and starts going insane. He even faints! And to top it off, he keeps up the charade that he intentionally did it just so he doesn't lose face. Seriously, it was all just hilarious. Who knew this show could get some of its best comedy out of Ryusei?

- Can't wait next week for Gentaro finally meeting Gamou, some danger for Yuki, and Fourze vs Aquarius and Leo!

I'm sorry. You were talking about Makise and I thought you were asking if it was where Pyxis was destroyed. Yeah, that's the same place as where Zu-Badaa Ba was killed. We haven't seen that place in forever!
 
Fourze is... a roller coaster ride; For me at least. I didn't enjoy the Capricorn arc because all these Horoscopes feel rushed. I get that we're in the home stretch here, but these guy should've been introduced later on so they could've been used properly.

This episode shows how well a focus episode can be for the Horoscope itself, rather than the KRC member. I feel endearing towards Elleen, or whatever her name is, because her problems seem kinda real. Speaking of this, I'm glad we get more info about JK, but there was hardly any information at all concerning Capricorn, (I can't remember his name, that's how bad it was) and Aries. They go off and pull some serious backstory for Elleen and show what Fourze is capable of storywise, but leave other people in the dust for it. This is getting lame.

But I don't like the way the show is shitting on dreams lately. The stuff with JK abandoning his dream felt odd and misplaced. I thought this show was about friendship, and happy stuff? What's going on now?

I didnt see the lesson to be "it's bad to dream so drop it" so mch as "dont put other ppl to harm for the sake of your dream". JK dropping it felt more like something he earnestly wanted after getting to pour his heart out on that one number alongside Gentarou and JK talking with his dad.

God (Capricorn) did seem to get less of a focus but it mustve been because the focus was on JK. I agree though that it might have mde more sense to mke God a regular Zodiart so that the commander-lvl monster could get more screentime and spotlight but I ended up liking what they came up with. I didnt care for him but he did seem like a nice enough guy, and Im glad he got out of the Horoscope gig pretty much unscathed.

Off-topic, I cant imagine how Figuarts of these Horoscopes are gonna work with their robes. Probably detachable pieces or something.

Or something analogous to "Don't use steroids in competitive sports." Or "Don't do drugs" :laugh: This series has a lot of subtle messages to that effect.
 
When a mod makes the "final post" in this thread, it'll reach the 3000 max limit requirement to close this thing...........so any mod out there, I've opened the door for you to close
