October will again be an awesome month for Kamen Rider fans! Here's the latest Kamen Rider Fourze information which features the role of each Kamen Rider Club members and Fourze's new Astro Switches.
Miu Kazashiro, captain of the cheerleading squad, forcibly takes the captain's chair in the Kamen Rider Club and uses the Rabbit Hutch as if it were her own. The Foodroids, which change from various fast food items, are used by Kamen Rider Club members for various purposes.
First-year student JK is a playboy who belongs to the school's "playing around" group. His character is the opposite of Gentaro. He's good at taking advantage of his connections to gather information.
Shun Daimonji, captain of the football team. At first he's veeeeeeeery antagonistic toward Gentaro but he could end up being a nice guy. He pilots the Power Dizer to help Fourze!!
The gross character Tomoko Nozama. She's a goth who doesn't fit in at school but she knows a lot about the hidden legends of Kamen Riders, which she tells Gentaro about. The Kamen Rider Club was created because of her.
Here are the new Kamen Rider Fourze Astro Switches that will debut this month. These range from No.10 through No.16:
Just like the other Switches, the Elec Switch gives Fourze a weapon, but its extra power changes Fourze's form. Its weapon "Billy the Rod" materializes as a right arm Module. This means that Astro Switches with similar abilities exist for the left arm and both legs. If he uses them all at once, what will happen?!
Astro Switch No.11: Scissors Module
Equips on the left arm. The metal blades are made of a metal called titanium. With their greatest power of 20t they can cut steel wire 50mm thick. The Scissors Switch also activates the Potechokin Foodroid.
Astro Switch No.12: Beat Module
Equips on the right leg. The large speakers are comprised of a woofer unit with a range of 20Hz-5kHz and a tweeter with a range of 5kHz-24kHz.
Astro Switch No.13: Chain Array Module
Equips on the right arm. The steel ball "Blowing Star" weighs about 120kg. The "Rough Spikers" are made from a new metal called "astorium." It seems old-fashioned and low-tech, but it was created using space development technology.
Astro Switch No.14: Smoke Module
Equips on the right leg. This device can emit smoke with a radius of 5m for about 5 minutes and obstruct vision within that radius. It's good for close combat.
Astro Switch No.15: Spike Module
Equips on the left leg. Similar to the Chain Array Module, it has Rough Spikers made of astorium. It would be effective for kicks in close combat.
Astro Switch No.16: Winch Module
Equips on the left arm. In the body of this drum-style winch unit is a spinning turbine. Its "Boost Hooker" shoots out at high speed and can pull objects with up to 5t of force.

With Kamen Rider Fourze's second form debuting next month, here are the more in-depth information about Kamen Rider Fourze Elec States, featuring his abilities and armaments.
Using the high-potential Astro Switch #10 "Elec" Fourze changes to an electric form. The Elec Switch activates the Elec Module "Billy the Rod" on his right arm.
Since it uses the power of electric energy, it has a more "electric" effect than the previous Switches and changes Fourze's suit to metallic gold. On both shoulders appear 6 Bolt Ram Chargers. When he uses Billy the Rod, his right arm's Module Basement becomes the Earth Basement, which has increased defense against electricity. His weight increases to 97kg. His finisher is "10 Billion Volt Break."
Billy the Rod, the rod-style Fourze Module activated by the Elec Switch. This is no ordinary rod. It can extend a cord called "Ignition Plug" which has 3 flanges called "United Tap." From these he can shock an enemy, shoot lightning bolts, or fire an electromagnetic net. When he inserts the Elec Switch into the Switch Slot on the handle, he can perform the Limit Break "10 Billion Volt Break."
The next Foodroid is the Potechokin. Using the Scissors Module, it changes from these fries. It has the ability to use the Power Arm "Chokking Pinch."

A few days ago, first scans for Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie Wars MEGAMAX featured Kamen Rider Nadeshiko and Poseidon. Finally, additional information have been translated.
Even though the main Riders are Kamen Rider Fourze and OOO, there will be more Riders appearing. The Seven Legendary Kamen Riders, from Kamen Rider #1 to Stronger will make an appearance.
Fans are probably concerned about OOO's sidekick Ankh. He died in the finale, but an OOO movie without him would be impossible. So then, how will he return? Can Eiji become OOO now that he's lost all of his medals?
Kamen Rider Fourze's segment will be the story of Gentaro's first love. The madonna who steals his heart is a high school student called Nadeshiko Misaki. She seems to have the power to become a Kamen Rider. The important points here will be Nadeshiko's identity and what happens with Gentaro's first love.
The high school girl who appears in the Fourze part transforms into this Kamen Rider, who is like a Fourze rearranged for a lady. She has a sailor-suit style collar and solar panel ribbons. She has a belt like the Fourze Driver and can use the Rocket and Radar Switches in the ○ and □ sockets, but the × and △ sockets seem to be plugged. Who entrusted her with a Fourze System?
Meanwhile in the Kamen Rider OOO segment, the mysterious boy Miharu transforms into this Kamen Rider. His belt has a design like 3 Core Medals, and his head, torso and legs have their corresponding colors. He has a design with a shark, a whale, and a Bering wolffish on his chest. This concept is reminiscent of OOO. Who created his Core Medals? What is his motivation? His true identity?
Suddenly, Poseidon challenges Eiji to a battle. Since Eiji cannot transform without Core Medals, Birth Prototype (Akira Date) fights instead, but....
