I'm... Gaim!
Thanks, pal.
Sure. Where is this place, anyway?
I kinda doubt you guys were the ones calling for help...
Yeah.
Aw crap, sorry...
I was in the middle of something!
Seeya... but man, where in the hell—?
Koyomi, we need to go too.
Teleport!
What the...?
That completes the experiment!
And here's what I was looking for!
Kamen Riders, stop him!
Let's go!
Thunder!
Serves you guys right!
Episode 53
The Neverending Story
No... don't transform!
These children will soon face their transformation!
Once they appear in the outside world, they will become your enemies!
You're our enemies?!
No!
I wanted to save you two...
Stay back!
BIND, PLEASE
COPY, PLEASE
Let go! Let go!
BEAST, PLEASE
That worm!
Come forth, Decade!
Retrieve that ring from Wizard!
What can I do...?
Don't... touch Koyomi.
What happened?!
If we transform, we'll lose our sense of right and wrong...
We wanted to escape before that happened.
But... if we do that, we'll just be beaten by a Kamen Rider...
No... You two...
Then...
Before we transform... kill us...
I wanted to save a living Koyomi... that's what I hoped I could do.
But if they leave this place...
That's the 13th Rider ring, right?
Did Amadam send you?
If all these monsters cross over into reality...
What do you think will happen?
You wanna start a monster war, or something?
Of course not.
Why'd you come to this world?
I heard a voice...
A kid's voice, calling for help...
If Kamen Riders fight for justice, then this place needs to stay sealed away.
But I...
Justice, huh?
I've seen a lot of types of justice, in a lot of different worlds, but...
Now, come on come on come on, come on COME ON!
Did you know this...
...Beast?
You Kamen Riders were born in this place.
I thought this place was a paradise for monsters who've been beaten by Riders?
Kamen Riders are nothing more than those who have failed to become true monsters.
Say what?!
Wizard was born from the Sabbat, which was supposed to create Phantoms...
You, as well, gained magic power by restraining a Phantom within your body.
Kamen Riders...
They're made from the same stuff as the forces of evil!
The power of the Kamen Riders is called the "Cross of Fire!"
A burning crucifix!
The sign of their sin, in being creations of evil!
Come, come, come, come!
Now, let's take your power as well!
I don't think I feel like handing it over.
Transform!
SET OPEN

LION
The rest is on you... Haruto...
Don't touch Koyomi!
Stop!
If you want to take someone, take me!
It was just a trick...?
How about you hand over the 13th Rider Ring?
You've retrieved it, then?
And with that I have all thirteen.
Now, boy.
You wish to escape this world? I'll grant your wish!
Now pray, like you did yesterday!
I shall join you...
You're going to destroy this world...
And let the monsters run loose, right?
I've finally regained the Rider Rings...
I was imprisoned in this place.
and I will have my revenge on the outside world!
I see, now.
You once committed a crime...
A wizard who was sealed away for his misdeeds.
That's you, isn't it?
You pushed those kids to try and escape this world, didn't you?
Come forth, Kamen Riders!
Now, defeat Wizard!
They obey the wielder of the Rings...
It's proof of how little these Riders are worth!
What the hell are you yapping about? What're you, stupid?
We didn't do what those kids wanted because of the rings.
We were just protecting the weak.
These children are going to transform into monsters...
And you'd protect them?
Is that your idea of justice?!
Someone once said...
We don't just fight for justice.
We fight...
To protect the freedom of mankind.
What?!
Just what are you people?!
Just some traveling Kamen Riders. And don't you forget it!
Transform.
Transform!
KAMEN RIDE: DECADE
FLAME, PLEASE
FIRE FIRE, FIRE FIRE FIRE!
Now, it's showtime!
Now, count up your sins!
Let's settle this one-on-one!

Get up!
Hold it, Amadam!
Come forth, my most powerful soldiers!
We can handle big enemies too!
I think I understand.
Let's go, go, go!
This isn't too different than the Makamou.
At their speed, they won't be able to keep up with me.
Let's settle it!
ROCKET ON
It's space time!
What time?!
FINAL FORM RIDE: K-K-K-KUUGA A-A-A-AGITO
This might not be pleasant.
Not this again...
Could you give us the option of refusing next time?

Curse you!
The time has come!
Now, pray! Do you wish to leave this world?
That was your hope, wasn't it?!
Do it!
Stop!
That's far enough, Amadam.
You think you can defeat me?!
With our power as Kamen Riders—
I'll take him!
I haven't taken your power yet, have I?
The Astro Switches!
He can steal power from Kamen Riders...?
Wrong!
This power has always been mine!
Switches, Medals, Memories!
Cards!
The strength you all draw upon is always the same as that which creates monsters!
That is why your powers will become mine!
And the source of you 13 Riders, the Cross of Fire, is within my grasp!
That only leaves you...
VERY NICE! SPECIAL
FABULOUS!
HURRICANE DRAGON
WATER DRAGON
LAND DRAGON
My magic isn't working...
Justice was never on your side!
Now, make your wish come true!
Now!
Even if our power is the same kind that evil uses...
I turned despair into hope!
And I became...
You became...
A Kamen Rider?
It's not just us...
Wherever evil wields power...
A Kamen Rider will appear. Every single time.
Destroy the barrier between worlds! I'll set you free!
Maybe I... can be one too?
Yes!
And now I win!
What... what is that?
What did you wish for?!
I thought I had no choice but to become a monster...
But maybe I can become a Kamen Rider, too.
What have you done?!
I'm not destroying this world. I'm calling for someone.
What? Was there a Kamen Rider like this?!
Kamen... Rider? Me?
It's what warriors who fight to protect the freedom of all people are called.
And they always appear when someone is calling for help.
Well, I did hear someone calling for help.
So did I.
I said I would help... that's how I got here.
So, that makes you a Kamen Rider too.
Guess that makes me Kamen Rider Gaim, right?
What are you two babbling about?!
Begone!
You first!
This can't be!
Your powers... you share the same source as mine!
You're nothing but incomplete failures!
Aw, put a sock in it already!
Now, we'll show you the power of the Kamen Riders!
The finale!
Let's get going!
Bring it on, then!
That was nothing!
Not yet... not yet!
Here you go!
What was the difference?
Myself and you were all born from the same power...!
We...
We saved the world.
It's okay.
Seeya.
You can take it from here.
Are you going to continue your journey?
Everybody's on a journey somewhere.
If we meet again...
I'll fight along with you again.
I wasn't able to get you out of here... I'm sorry.
It's fine.
You taught me that even if I do have to transform someday,
I don't have to become a monster.
It's just... the Rider Rings are gone now. That kinda sucks.
What's this?
Call if you need me, and I'll be there.
I'm the last hope.
CONNECT, PLEASE
Hey!
Koyomi! You okay?
No more... no more! Too heavy! Heavy!
I guess he left...
We never asked who he was, did we?
He felt kind of familiar, though.
Like I've known him for a while...
Koyomi!
Haruto.
