FOURZE, SANJOU!!! UCHUUUUUUU KITAAAAAAAAAA~
UCHUUUUUUU KITAAAAAAA~
Kamen Rider Fourze has arrived, Fourze, sanjou! The first episode of Fourze started last Sunday, a quick rundown of Fourze is as below:
Kamen Rider FOURZE
- High school student who henshins into a Kamen Rider!
- Has a shitload of switches that enable him to fight fight fight!
- Has support robots called Foodroids!
- Has a "partner" who absolutely, absolutely hates him, but has to aid him nonetheless
That last part reminded me of this guy
and this guy
An interesting thing about Fourze is the high school setting. We have several characters named after past riders who are part of the Kamen Rider Club:

From left: Tomoko Nozama (Amazon, with tomoko being reference to his frequent "tomodachi-ing"), Miu Kazashiro (V3, Shiro Kazami), Kengo Utahoshi (Kamen Rider #1, Takeshi Hongo, the Ankh+Goto guy), Gentaro Kisaragi (Fourze!!!!), Yuki Jojima (Riderman, Yuki Joji), Shun Daimonji (Kamen Rider #2, Hayato Ichimonji) and JK (X, Keisuke Jin).
The characters all represent token stereotype characters, with Nozama being the Goth, Kazashiro as the "Queen", Utahoshi as the sidekick, Jojima as the token good girl, Daimonji as the Jock and JK as the cowardly slacker. This is somewhat interesting as Gentaro has made it his aim to be friends with everyone.
Up until now, Gentaro has used several switches, namely:
Rocket Arm
Launcher Leg
Drill Leg
Radar Arm
Chainsaw Leg
Apparently Gentaro is somekinda prodigy for using Fourze.
But nonetheless, after watching the first episode, several questions are on my mind, namely HOW DOES THE SCHOOL PAY FOR ALL THE DAMAGE.
I'm guessing under government grants, citing "Collateral damage due to reckless fighting'..... LOL
Well, episode 1 was great, and I am really looking forward to episode 2.
Once more, UCHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~
