As it is written in this book, average high schooler Tokiwa Sougo
embarks on a path which leads him to become the overlord of time, Oma Zi-O.
He was faced with a new enemy, one who cannot be defeated... Another Ryuga.
As Zi-O struggles, he is confronted with an alternate Tokiwa Sougo from within the mirror world.
But my overlord begins to strike back against his foes, with the power of Oma Zi-O.
Not going to use it?
The ultimate power you received from Woz...
Now you see, that's how you do it...
That's how you show the true darkness within.
You could never become a great, beloved overlord.
The only way to beat Another Ryuga is to become Oma Zi-O.
Now, show me what you're going to do.
FINISH TIME!
TIME BREAK!
KICK
The Day of Oma.
A day of judgment for the past and future of the Kamen Riders!
Will it herald the end of history, or a new beginning?
Now, we must choose our future!
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!
Strongest Zi-O!
Are you alright?
Strongest Zi-O!
I've thought about beating Zi-O for so long...
Strongest Zi-O!
But I never considered what comes after that...
I can relate...
I was the same way.
I even considered sacrificing an innocent person just to take down our enemy...
He is only a reflection, after all...
That's what you meant...
Indeed.
If we erase Kido Shinji, his reflection goes with him.
Anyone that would humor the idea has no right dreaming of a peaceful future.
Sougo wouldn't even weigh the option...
I think this is a good time to ask again...
Geiz, do you really think that Sougo is capable of becoming the Oma Zi-O that we know?
Ugh, I hate having large pores...
I can show you a trick.
Really?
A change in diet might help, too.
I read it on Ore Journal a while ago.
Broccoli and other brassica vegetables are supposed to—
Seriously, "Ore Journal"?!
That's ancient!
C'mon, let's go.
RYUGA
Where's Sougo?
He's still not back yet.
And I really needed him to run some errands, I've been so busy...
Oh, what about you guys?
Ow...
Welcome back, Sougo! Um, where did you come from...?
The mirror world, I think...
Yeah? You really are something else...
I mean, a mirror w— You two aren't even surprised.
I guess that's just kids these days.
I think I'm overworked, I'm just gonna take a walk and drop this off.
Another world inside mirrors...?
A Kamen Rider from a lost world of mirrors.
That's who he is.
Then he really can't be defeated...
Right, there is no way to get a Ryuga watch.
Plus, he reflects all of our attacks. Like a mirror...
Geiz, how were you trying to beat him?
My Time Burst has a slight lag before the effects are felt.
If I used that, I'd be able to beat him before the attack is reflected.
So that's it...
But it would still get reflected after, and you'd be hit with it too, right?
You could die!
If there's no other way, then I'll do what I have to.
Geiz!
Tsukuyomi!
Why is Geiz willing to risk his life to beat Another Ryuga?
I think he's angry at himself.
Geiz? But why...?
White Woz suggested that he kill Kido Shinji to stop Another Ryuga.
And it seems like Geiz considered it, even for just a second...
Why would he be upset just for thinking about it?
Probably because of you, Sougo.
Me...?
The old Geiz would've accepted that sacrifices are necessary in battle.
But you always try to save everyone, right?
Even if it means sacrificing yourself.
I think he's been changing because of you, and he doesn't even realize it.
I...
The same goes for me.
I don't think you could ever be an evil overlord.
I'm not worried about the Day of Oma.
The day where you become Oma Zi-O will never happen.
You little hypocrite.
Always trying to save everyone...
That's how I feel! I want to protect all of my subjects.
You had Geiz explain how to beat the Another Rider, to manipulate him into doing it—
No!
I want to save Geiz!
And you'll use the Watch to become Oma Zi-O for that, won't you?
You were using him as an excuse to turn into Oma Zi-O!
No!
You always say the opposite of what you think...
You spout this idealistic garbage, but you know your soul is pitch black!
You're wrong... You're wrong!
You're wrong!
No, I'm not!
You really will become a despicable overlord.
And I'll watch it happen... because I am you.
He is troublesome, isn't he?
I'm beginning to think you are as well, my savior.
You require my assistance, yet again.
Geiz comes upon Another Ryuga in a location Kido Shinji would never visit.
Do try to defeat this abomination on your own.
White Woz...
Transform.
PROJECTING FUTURE TIME!
AMAZING! TIME! FUTURE!
KAMEN RIDER WOZ! WOZ!
SHINOBI!
ACTION!
PROJECTING FUTURE TIME!
NIN-WHO?! NIN-ME! NINJA!
FUTURING SHINOBI! SHINOBI!
What a troublesome foe.
SEARCH HAWK!
HAWK EYES IN THE SKY!
Sougo? Come quick!
Geiz is fighting Another Ryuga!
No, I'm going to see Kido Shinji.
Kido Shinji?! Why?
Because he's not just some random victim...
He's Kamen Rider Ryuki.
I haven't done anything.
No...
I suppose that isn't true.
My mirror self became that monster, and caused all of this chaos.
And the people he's attacking were all readers of Ore Journal.
But why attack the readers...?
Resentment, maybe.
If they kept supporting the site, Ore Journal wouldn't have shut down.
This website has closed permanently.
But it's not their fault...
You're right.
I don't have any stupid animosity over that. Not on the surface, anyway.
But deep down, I must have felt it at one point or another...
I think...
The one in the mirror is the real me.
I don't want to admit it...
But I have to, or this will never end!
And then...
I won't be able to move on.
If I don't finish this, I won't even have a reflection of myself...
I'll just be empty inside.
If it can reflect any attack, then what about this?!
BEYOND THE TIME!
Body Divide Technique!
NINPO: TIME BINDING ART!
Looks like there's no other way!
No, my savior, you can't...!
Geiz, stop!
You've finally accepted it.
That you're going to become a despicable overlord.
I don't intend on ever becoming that.
I'll keep trying to be a great and beloved one.
Avoiding the issue with more delusions...
Not at all.
There are aspects of me that are good...
And aspects that are bad, too.
The idealistic stuff I say...
All the dark thoughts I sometime harbor, deep down...
Both of those are the true me.
You are me, and I'm you.
We can't move forward unless I admit that.
You're not scared of the future?
Or the Day of Oma?
I am.
But that's exactly why...
I want to believe in my future self.
Use this.
Isn't this...?
Darkness and light. Future and past.
Being a true king means ruling over both.
FINISH TIME!
Geiz, stop!
TIME BURST!
Geiz!
My savior...!
Geiz!
Geiz...!
Geiz!
Sougo, Geiz is...
I thought this might happen.
But I've already seen this future.
FINISH TIME!
Geiz, stop!
TIME BURST!
What was that...?
Did time just... rewind?
Magnificent, my overlord!
This is the power of Oma Zi-O!
Were you behind this, Black Woz?!
No.
It was my decision.
That's...
ZI-O II!
On the surface, and within...
ZI-O!
The past, and the future...
These Watches rule over both!
Transform!
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER ZI-O II!
Good and evil, darkness and light...
I accept it all!
And with that power...
I'll carve a path to the future!
Sougo...
Behold, the rejuvenation of the king.
Rejoice! He who will surpass all Riders!
The ruler of time, traveling beyond time and space to reign over past and future...
His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O II!
And we bear witness to the advent of a new age!
Hey, it's been a while, hasn't it?
By all means, my overlord, fight to your heart's content.
I will!
RIDER!
RIDER STRIKE!
Sougo's attacks aren't being reflected!
They're too powerful to be reflected...!
I can see your future!
ZI-O RULES!
CONQUEROR STRIKE!
EDGE OF TIME!
THE GREATEST! FINISH TIME!
KING'S KA-SHINKT SLASH!
Kido Shinji has accepted you.
And I've accepted my own dark feelings.
Now, you need to accept him.
Well, are they biting?
Shinji...?
It's been a while, Chief.
I'm not the editor-in-chief anymore, kid...
We lost, fell behind the times...
We did lose...
But if we accept that, we can move on, right?
Shinji...
Would you still... want to work for me?
Yes, Chief!
Kid, do you realize...
Yeah?
You look like a real winner right now!
I do?
Damn right you do, check it out!
You look like a winner too, Chief!
You think?
See, look...
Whoa, what the hell, man?!
You little...!
Chief, cut it out!
Sougo's started to transcend time...
We've seen that kind of power before.
It's the same that Oma Zi-O has.
This is my responsibility.
This time...
I was the one who lead him towards becoming Oma Zi-O.
Even so, toying with time and the lives of other people isn't right!
He's accepted who he is.
This means Sougo had the potential to become Oma Zi-O all along...
That hasn't changed.
It pains me to admit it, but our choice is obvious now...
And thus, my overlord begins his way down the true path to the throne.
The Day of Oma draws ever closer!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Zi-O...
My name is Makina Rento. Kamen Rider Kikai!
Sougo's dream=Kikai's world
It's 2121.
Sougo's dream=Kikai's world
The dream the overlord saw is likely a prophetic one...
Sougo's dream=Kikai's world
Who will take that power? Let's make it a game.
It's Kikai!
