Kamen Fourze 44 Review

What the hell is this?

Alright, time for the first episode review on this blog. So if you follow me on twitter, then you know that I despise Kamen Rider Fourze. Now, the only rider series that I have watched the entirety of are Double, OOO, and I'm almost finished with Den-O, so if that put my opinons in perspective, so be it. So after Ryusei's story arc just completely died and crashed into the ground I pretty much lost all faith in this show, however, the past couple episodes have been decent and at least watchable, this one kind of drove the hate stake in again.

It's not that i don't like the switch gimmick (the suit isn't my favorite), the thing that gets me the most about this show is it's over preachyness about friendship. It's like another awful Yu-Gi-Oh! spin-off.

Alright now back to the actual episode, this time we continued the Evil Yuuki is Gemini story arc. I actually thought the whole Gemini spitting you into your light and dark halves thing was a cool idea, I just wish they hadn't done it with the most annoying character in the whole show. Anyway it starts off with Gentarou being a whiny bitch about how he's a bad friend and everyone going out to search for real Yuuki who ran off cause her face disappeared. They all meet up and shocker, no one found her. Then, out of nowhere Gentarou gets a call on not the Magphone and apparently Yuuki went home. Meanwhile at Yuuki's house, Fake Yuuki and Dr. Maki are trying to be overly comedic while eating chinese food. Then real Yuuki shows up and takes the switch.

Now this is the part I don't understand. She ran away from the KRC cause her face disappeared, so wouldn't you think that if you had no face and the switch that maybe your friends might actually think that you're the fake Yuuki. So of course they do, and she starts being more stupid and actually pushes the damn thing, thransforming herself into Gemini. Fourze proceeds to Limit Break her ass while fake Yuuki cheers him on. Kengo realises that something's up and that it not the real Yuuki, Sagittarius and the other Horoscopes show up, they go somewhere else and spill out their plan while Burgermeal watches and then leaves. Meanwhile Tomoko is watching Ryusei's exploded body.

So yeah, the Horoscopes have real Yuuki and are gonna have this big ceremony for when she disappears. Gentarou has some flashbacks and realizes he needs to find some box at his house. There's this big "funny" scene with him and Kengo trying to find it and bam we are at the ceremony, which is apparently being held at stonehenge. So the rest of the KRC shows up to the ceremony and they sit down to watch. Gentarou shows up with the box and shows Yuuki the wait for it....... the ticket to space she made him. Yeah, that happened. So that re-awoke her memories and she got her face back everyone transformed and we had a big fight with Gemini being. destroyed.

At the end of the episode Gamou is upset because his teen crush is gone and Libra realises that he's being used. Meanwhile, in the Rabbit Hatch, Yuuki gives everyone a freaking ticket to space except for Ryusei, whose ticket is attached to Tomoko's.

So this episode just proved how, pardon my french, shitty this show is I mean cut it out with all the friendship nonsence. The bad part about it was that I liked the last episode and thought it had potential to be a really good arc but apparently not. And the whole thing with Ryusei and Tomoko at the end was just ridiculous. I enjoyed that whole chemistry before, but now they're just forcing it to give Ryusei's character something to do. All in all, I cannot wait for this series to be over, and let's all thank the Olympics for keeping Fourze off the air for another week.
