As it is written in this book, in September of 2018, average high schooler Tokiwa Sougo
embarks on a path which leads him to become the overlord of time, Oma Zi-O.
In the timeline of 2017, he is victorious in defeating Another Build.
After which, he takes the power of Build,
creating a timeline where Kamen Rider Build never existed.
Thus he takes his first step down the path to becoming overlord.
He then comes to find the Genius Gamer M and—
Oh, pardon me...
I suppose that is still in the future, for you.
Good morning.
G'morning...
Oof...
Can you pass the butter knife?
Here you go.
Appreciate it...
Oh, Sougo, dancing already?
The butter's over here.
Thanks...
Coffee's ready, too.
The beans are from Santos in Brazil.
It's kinda cold.
Because you overslept.
Time waits for no man.
Oh, I should mention,
Geiz and Tsukuyomi are going to be going to be starting school today.
School?!
How old are you two?
Geiz and I are both 18.
We're the same age...
Ta-da! Lunches for everybody!
Do your best out there today.
You're overdoing it...
Looks like things didn't work out...
Ora
With that Kamen Rider Build you slapped together.
Ora
Well, someone interfered.
Interfered?
Who?
Zi-O.
He actually came back?
That old geezer is such a pain.
No, not him.
A young Zi-O, from 2018.
He's not quite as strong yet, but you should be on guard anyway.
You're looking for your own candidate to be king, aren't you, Ora?
Don't you worry about me.
I've already got quite the scheme cooking.
Huh, it's Keisuke.
Did something happen?
Keisuke, are you okay?
It hurts...
Please help me, Dad...
Who are you?
What's going on here?!
I'm Ora, a Time Jacker.
And I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
But there's good news, too.
EX-AID!
The legacy of the Heisei Kamen Riders has carried on throughout the era.
And now they pass their power on to the next generation!
Rejoice, for the birth of a new king!
Gonna grab it in a second, so are you ready?
It's a brand new history, can you feel it feel it?
Making our bonds the guiding light
Now it's time to shout it out, shout it out!
And move forward through the present
No matter how often you feel lost,
make sure you knock on future's door
Once you've got your sights on what's beyond
just jump in and believe in yourself!
Now Over Quartzer!
We'll slip through the raindrops of time, together
You Over Quartzer!
Go beyond the future!
The lessons of the past can't be clouded by lies
Now feel the Nexus future
Now Over Quartzer!
A brighter world is coming
Take me there!
Doctor Gamer
I never thought you guys would go to my school.
We're not actually attending class...
Man, you're dumb.
You're not?
Well, it's not like we can just explain that we're from the future, can we?
Saying we're in high school is just a convenient excuse to do what we need to around here.
And what's that...?
Don't forget.
I came here to wipe you out.
All I'm doing now is watching for any sign that you're on the path to becoming Oma Zi-O.
And you even got uniforms...
Must be hard work.
I can end you now, if you prefer.
Okay, that's enough.
Sougo, just go about your usual routine for now.
Hikarigamori High School
1, 2, 3, 4!
5, 6, 7, 8!
2, 2, 3, 4!
Normal, they said...
Here are today's notes, sir.
What's wrong?
Look over there!
He's gone!
What the heck?!
Jeez, can't a guy just eat lunch in peace...?
If you use something, put it back
Finally...
Oh, it's you Tokiwa.
Don't scare me like that, man.
Huh?
Owada, where were you today?
Did you cut?
I was playing this.
It's this crazy hard game that no one can clear.
I get right up to the end, but I still can't clear it.
So you're good at video games, Owada?
Alright, you can be my royal chief of cyber security!
Royal what...?
Tokiwa, you still on that whole kick?
Hey, is someone in there?
Dang, they're gonna find out I cut class!
Don't worry, you wait here.
Tokiwa, is it just you?
Yes, sir.
I wanted a little privacy while I ate.
You know you're not allowed in the supply room unless it's for class.
Come by the office later.
Okay, sir.
The threat has passed.
Sorry to make you lie for me.
It wasn't really a lie.
Now you can focus on your game.
What the...?
Owada...?
What did you do to Owada?!
This thing's just like Another Build!
SPACE-TIME DRIVER!
ZI-O!
Transform!
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!
Ow!
He's gone...?
Hey! Hey, Owada!
Owada, are you alright?!
There you are.
Owada!
What happened?
Another Rider happened.
Seiai Hospital
The same symptoms...
What do you mean by that?
We've been seeing a lot of patients lately with these same symptoms.
And it's hard to treat, because we have no idea what's causing it.
That's no sickness...
It was an Another Rider that did that to Owada and the other patients.
We need to find it before there are more victims.
How do you intend do that?
I'm just going to head out and look.
Not so fast.
You need to stay out of this.
If you find the Another Rider, you'll have to use Zi-O's power again.
Which means you might end up stealing a past Rider's power.
Steal? I wasn't trying to steal—
When you took Build's power, he faded from existence.
That's when you started down the path to becoming Oma Zi-O.
Anyway, stay out of this.
I can't do that!
I can't just watch someone suffer like that!
Do you have any idea what that's like, Geiz?
Of course I do...
More than you could possibly imagine!
Maybe the game had something to do with it.
But how would it work?
There!
A game that can't be cleared
"A game that can't be cleared."
A game that can't be cleared
Any players who try it suffer from a strange curse.
That's why no one can finish it.
There are rumors about it online, like an urban legend.
This game has to be connected to that Another Rider.
Okay, I'm gonna try it!
GAME OVER!
OVER! OVER! OVER!
GAME OVER!
I can't do it...
This isn't working...
Sougo, are you bad at video games?
I guess... what about you, Tsukuyomi?
I never played one with tactile controls.
The future sounds awesome...
How could a complete amateur uncover the secret behind an unclearable game in the first place?
Good point!
If someone like me can't do it, then we have to find a real gamer!
Thanks, Geiz!
I gave you advice?!
No, it wasn't advice!
Here we go.
The genius gamer who can clear even the hardest game.
That was fast!
The gaming genius.
His handle is M.
His real name is unknown.
He's won multiple tournaments.
But there's no contact info...
I should have known it wouldn't be that easy!
Another Rider!
Greetings, my overlord.
Are you alright?! Hang in there!
Are you okay?
I am pleased to see you doing well.
You again...
I don't have time to waste with you.
Hospital... ambulance...
A hospital?
According to this book, you take him to the Seito University Hospital.
Seito University Hospital?
Another victim...
Yeah...
But... why this hospital in particular?
Did you hear?
The new doctor was absent without notice again.
I hope he wasn't playing games all night again.
I heard Dr. Emu is obsessed with video games.
Yeah, I heard that...
M...
And he's a gamer?
Excuse me!
You guys were talking about M?
Oh, you mean Dr. Emu?
Could he be...
The Genius Gamer M?
Looking for the pediatrician?
Dr. Kagami!
The genius surgeon, Dr. Kagami Hiiro!
Isn't he cool?!
Well, don't you think?!
He's looking this way!
Our eyes just met! They did!
I can't believe how close he is!
So cool!
Excuse me...
We're trying to find out about a game that can't be cleared!
What...?
Our hospital has multiple patients with this condition, but we still can't find the cause.
The pediatrician was researching it.
A game that can't be cleared?
Correct.
The patients with the mystery illness all seem to have played this unclearable game.
You're saying there's a link between the game and their condition?
I'm not sure.
But...
I think it's worth playing it to find out.
So this Dr. Emu might know what's really going on?
Geiz...
You're getting so much more involved, now.
I'm not, I'm just, y'know...
Come to think of it,
those nurses were saying that Dr. Emu was absent today.
The pediatrician left a note before he went missing.
It might be a clue for that game.
Will it help?
Why give it to me?
I'm not sure why, but I feel like I should try and help you.
Thank you.
Unten, unten...
Oben oben...?
R-Rechts?
What language is this?
No idea...
It's German.
German?
Why?
From a time when Japanese medicine used a lot of German terminology.
Let me see.
Unten unten, oben oben,
rechts, links, rechts, links.
What's it mean?
"Up, up, down, down, right, left, right, left."
Those are... game inputs!
Down down.
Down down...
Up up.
Up up...
Left, right, left, right.
Left, right, left, right...
Then you press all the buttons at once.
It stopped scrolling!
No, we got it!
I know we can do this!
What?!
Where are we...?
Are we inside the game...?
Awesome!
Games are like any other computer program, they have backdoors.
That Emu guy must have been searching for this.
Guess we're intruding...
And look who's coming to play.
You understand, right?
Even if we beat him now, he'll keep coming back.
But just standing here won't help either!
SPACE-TIME DRIVER!
GEIZ!
ZI-O!
Transform!
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER GEIZ!
KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!
You jerk...!
Take this!
If I catch you slipping, I'll take you out right now!

KAMEN RIDER GEIZ!
ARMOR TIME!
DRIVE! DRIVE!
Alright, me too!

ARMOR TIME!
Right.
BEST MATCH! BUILD!
Not so fast!
FINISH TIME! BUILD!
FINISH TIME! DRIVE!
THE FINISHER!
TIME BURST!
VORTEX TIME BREAK!
What? A person?
I didn't think anyone else would find their way into the game.
I see...
You must have seen my note.
Note...? That means—
Exactly, that's...
Hojo Emu!
Genius Gamer...
M!
Sorry, but this is as far as you'll go.
MIGHTY ACTION X!
Transformation Plus!
CLICK AND LOAD!
CLICK AND OPEN! LEVEL UP!
MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION X!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Zi-O...
You've reached this point, my overlord.
We should guide Sougo so that he doesn't become an overlord.
I believe in Geiz and Tsukuyomi.
A Rider's power to fight another Rider?!
Go for the finisher!
No Continues
That's why I'll fight!
