Important things that happened

  • Light Yuuki loses more of herself to Dark Yuuki. Dark Yuuki tricks Light Yuuki into taking the Switch, which causes the Kamen Rider Club to go after her, forcing her to transform into Gemini Zodiarts.
  • Gentarou restores Yuuki by remembering their childhood promise. Apparently he was the first person to believe in her.
  • When Leo transforms into Capricorn Zodiarts his music attack hits Kengo, but reverberates instead of hurting him. Gamou notices this.
  • Gemini is defeated. With Virgo gone, Leo is the one who collects her Switch.
  • The episode ends with a shot of Kengo. The sound that he made when he protected the Rider group plays again as he looks thoughtful.

Trivia

  • No Fourze next week.
  • When fighting Light Yuuki as Gemini, only Kengo realizes that something is wrong. Gentarou, who's supposed to be perceptive when it comes to his friends, doesn't notice anything amiss.
  • It's been a while since we heard the "Make a wish upon a star" line.
  • When they're at the stone place to carry out the ritual, the Nugget with the triangle red eyes shows up.
  • Child Gentarou had a radar that he borrowed from his grandfather. Child Yuuki gave Gentarou a ticket in the shape of a rocket. That's both arms of Fourze!
  • It's saying something that even Yuuki's eclectic parents don't believe in her hearing a voice from space.
  • When the unarmed Kamen Rider Club members appear, Sagittarius uses a move that prevents them from moving. When Gentarou/Fourze shows up, he does nothing and lets him turn Yuuki back to normal. Priorities?!
    • Despite overwhelming two Riders by himself, Sagittarius and Leo leave to let Gemini be defeated by Fourze.
  • When Gemini splits in two the last time, she says "kore de kimari da" which is a reference to Kamen Rider W's catchphrase.
  • Libra's suspicion and defiance grows with each episode. He realizes that Gamou only needs his Switch, not him as a person. He is seen leaving the fight while Sagittarius Zodiarts, Gemini Zodiarts, and Leo Zodiarts are preoccupied.
    • Libra realizes that his use will be over once he finds Pisces. As he leaves, one hears the chime of his monk staff.
  • Tomoko stays with Ryuusei while he recovers. More shipping?
    • When giving out rocket tickets, Ryuusei and Nozama's are a pair.
