1* AngstAversion: Well-written and constructed, yes, but seeing one of the happiest and most light-hearted Kamen Riders in the franchise become a tragic monster along with all the crap everyone goes through hits just a little too close to home for some people. This is especially due to the fact that ''Fourze'' was written specifically to make Japan smile again after the tsunami.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: Many reviewers have stated that Chuta Ohsugi is one of their favorite characters. WordOfGod stated that she also liked how Ohsugi became the faculty adviser and bemoaned how the writers [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter missed the chance]] on having him do great things.
3* HarsherInHindsight:
4** Gentaro's turn to the dark side in this fic would be used a recurring trend in the Reiwa era for a main character to become a villain at the second half of their series, [[spoiler:starting with ''Series/KamenRiderZeroOne'', Aruto would become the first main Rider to pull a FaceHeelTurn as a result of Is' death by Horobi's hand.]]
5** In ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'', Gentaro himself is assumed to be among the heroic Riders who supported [[spoiler:Zein and its campaign of eradicating all evil]], thus giving the idea that Gentaro pulled an actual FaceHeelTurn albeit offscreen [[spoiler:like Aruto above]], all the more plausible. He even [[spoiler:voluntarily gave up his powers to Zein]][[note]]not to mention the Fourze Zein Card is among the cards displayed in [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Tachibana's]] office in episode 3 of ''Outsiders''.[[/note]], unaware of the AI's goal to TakeOverTheWorld.
