Super Space Sword (超・宇・宙・剣, Chō・U・Chū・Ken) is the thirty-second episode of Kamen Rider Fourze.
Plot
After Gentaro's death at Ryusei's hands, Kengo does not know how to resurrect him as the Aries Zodiarts takes the other Kamen Rider Club members captive. Elsewhere, having betrayed Tachibana, Ryusei is able to talk to the revived Jiro.
Synopsis
With Gentaro dead, Kengo confronts Ryusei about how he will never forgive him for betraying everyone even if his reasons are selfless. Shun is about to avenge Gentaro when the Aries Zodiarts's power takes effect. While the others fall to sleep, Kengo is saved by Tachibana remote controlling the Machine Meteorstar as he gets Gentaro's body to safety. Though Tachibana tells Ryusei that he will never become Kamen Rider Meteor again, Ryusei accepts it if it means Jiro can be saved. Later, Yamada debriefs his captives of his work, Academic Rebellion, where they will play the executioners of the rebels played by Mei Shirakawa and her friends. But when the Kamen Rider Club refuses to follow the script, Yamada decides to rewrite them as the executed. Soon after, Yamada completes his arrangement and revives Jiro. Though Ryusei manages to get Jiro to switch off his Zodiarts Switch, he is content with the situation until he learns that Jiro's reason to use the Switch was to be like Ryusei before the youth relapses.
After learning from the doctor that Jiro lost the will to live, Ryusei realizes too late that he wanted to be friends with Gentaro. Coming to the aid of the Kamen Rider Club, Ryusei resolves to protect them by fighting the Aries Zodiarts and the Dustards without Kamen Rider Meteor's powers. In the Rabbit Hatch, Kengo is unable to restart Gentaro's heart. He receives a call from Tachibana who reveals himself as the one who gave the boy the Gate Switch. On Tachibana's instructions, Kengo goes to the Rabbit Hatch's outer rim to find a message from his father Rokuro Utahoshi that the power of friendship is the ability to do the impossible. With renewed hope, Kengo uses the Cosmic Switch to revive Gentaro.
Just as Ryusei is about to collapse from battling unarmed, Gentaro arrives and gets the others to forgive him with Ryusei accepting his friendship. Taking over the fight, Gentaro transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze and uses the Cosmic Switch to assume Cosmic States. With the powers of all forty Astroswitches at his disposal, Kamen Rider Fourze overpowers the Aries Zodiarts who begins to assume his Supernova form. However, taking him outside Earth's atmosphere via a warp hole, Kamen Rider Fourze defeats the Aries Zodiarts. Yamada is rendered unconscious as the Virgo Zodiarts delivers the Aries Switch to Gamou who is troubled by Tachibana's intervention. Later, as Ryusei tells the others that Jiro's health has improved, Kengo tells the others that Tachibana has entrusted them to keep Ryusei's identity as Kamen Rider Meteor a secret.
