Kamen Rider Fourze: Review: Electric Shock, Steadily

Kamen Rider Fourze episode 6, “” is a seriously high-energy episode that completely solidifies why this show is such a classic. It wraps up the whole two-part Unicorn Zodiarts arc, and honestly, the pacing is just immaculate. We see the real fallout of JK stealing Gentaro’s Elek Switch, and instead of the show dragging out the drama, it dives straight into the character growth and action.

What really makes this episode hit hard is how it handles JK’s betrayal. The guy literally used Gentaro as a human shield and stole his gear, but Gentaro is just built different. His absolute refusal to give up on making JK his friend—even when everyone else would have written JK off as a snake—is the pure heart of Fourze. Watching Gentaro dodge Kengo and Yuki all day just to protect JK from getting in trouble shows the depth of his loyalty. It makes the eventual realization by JK feel totally earned when he sees Gentaro taking a beating for him.

Then we get to the absolute highlight: the debut of Elek States. The visual transition when Gentaro finally masters the Elek Switch and absorbs the electrical backlash into his body is hype cinema. That shiny gold suit looks spectacular in motion. Watching him wield the Billy the Rod weapon to completely shut down the Unicorn Zodiarts’ fencing style is pure satisfaction. The action choreography here is top-tier, blending the flashy cosmic theme with intense, grounded combat.

By the time the episode wraps up with JK officially joining the Kamen Rider Club, you just feel good watching it. It balances the high school drama, the comedy of the crew, and the heavy sci-fi action perfectly. It’s a definitive episode for the series because it proves that Gentaro’s aggressive friendship isn’t just a gimmick, it’s a superpower that actively changes the people around him for the better.
