This article is about a device in Kamen Rider Fourze. |
The Core Switch (コアスイッチ, Koa Suitchi) is a mysterious crystal-like Switch that stores powerful Cosmic Energy. Numerous Core Switches were sent across the galaxy by the Presenters in the hopes of intelligent life finding one and reverse-engineering Switches to make contact with the Presenters. The Core Switch produces The Hole on the planet it lands on to provide the needed energy for the organisms that find it.
History[]
At some point in time, the Presenters sent numerous Core Switches across the galaxy, and one landed on the moon. In 1991, Japanese astronauts Rokuro Utahoshi and Mitsuaki Gamou found the Core Switch and used its technology to create the Fourze Driver and the Astroswitches. While Utahoshi wanted to continue developing Fourze, Gamou devised the Zodiarts Switches, which induce forced evolution into a being that can endure the harsh conditions of space.
Rokuro learned that the Core Switch also creates a construct of Cosmic Energy in the form of whatever race discovered it with the intention of returning to the Presenters with all the knowledge it obtained. When he learned the Core Switch survived the OSTO lunar base's destruction and became the core of Kengo Utahoshi, Gamou damaged the Core Switch before he could return to the Presenters. However, after making peace with the Kamen Rider Club, Gamou used the Aquarius Zodiarts switch to fix the Core Switch before he died, therefore reviving Kengo.
