You've been doing that a lot, huh?
Who asked you, buzz off...
You're Suzumiya Tsutomu. Hibiki's apprentice, right?
Not anymore, I'm not.
Would you be willing to help me lure Hibiki out?
I can make your dream of becoming an Oni a reality.
HIBIKI
395...
396...
397...
Ow!
Another Rider...?!
Watch where you're going, you idiot!
At long last, the fated day arrives...
That day, the one upon which I stake my very being...
What do you mean...? What's about to happen?
He's being dramatic.
Today is April 28th, Sougo's birthday. That's all.
Seriously, a birthday...?
Not just a birthday...
Nay, it is His Birthday!
And befitting of my overlord, this must be a celebration in the grandest fashion!
Right now, I find myself fraught with anxiety.
Good morning...
Good morning.
What's that?
Nothing, nothing at all!
Good morning, Sougo my boy! Sleeping in today?
By the way, Happy—!
Hush, hush please.
W-What, why?
Huh?!
Ohhh! I get you, I see...
Oh, we're always goofing around.
By the way, what is that?
Oh right, everybody come take a look at this!
It's Sougo's elementary school yearbook.
Even back then, he wrote that he wanted to be a king when he grows up.
Name: Tokiwa Sougo Birthday: 4/28 Sign: Leo Best subject: Art Specialty: Sleeping A great king My dream is to be a king. I want to become a great ruler who helps everyone live happily ever after.
He stood out the most, even as a kid...
No way, not true.
Someone's was even crazier.
See? He wanted to be an Oni!
Suzumiya Tsutomu.
Name: Suzumiya Tsutomu Birthday: 11/11 Sign: Scorpio Best subject: Phys Ed Specialty: Running I'm gonna be an Oni!! My dream is to become an Oni. My mentor is an incredible Oni named Hibiki! I really admire him. One day I'll become an Oni he can be proud of!
"I'm going to be an Oni!"
Yep.
We used to encourage each other to make our dreams come true.
Well isn't that nice to hear!
Kids these days are so open-minded!
I'll go warm up breakfast.
Thanks.
Hey, look at this...!
"My mentor is an incredible Oni named Hibiki."
Hibiki...?
You mean like...?
Kamen Rider Hibiki.
This could lead us to the next Watch.
As it is written in this book...
Rejoice!
Tokiwa Sougo's birthday has arrived.
He embarks on a path which will lead him to become the overlord of time, Oma Zi-O.
In order to obtain power befitting of an overlord,
he must gather the remaining Watches, of which there are five.
And the Rider whose power he now seeks to possess...
Echoing
Oni
...will not come from Kamen Rider Hibiki.
Hibiki
Rather, it shall come from Kiriya Kyousuke.
The legacy of the Heisei Kamen Riders has carried on throughout the era.
Once their power has been passed on, a new legend begins...
Rejoice, for the birth of the ultimate 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!
Hey.
Why did that kid want to be an Oni, anyway?
Rejoice! Resound! Reverberate!
Apparently the Oni take on the job of protecting people from evil.
Rejoice! Resound! Reverberate!
A job...?
They're an ancient organization.
He always said his mentor Hibiki was a great person.
That sounds a lot like our Kamen Rider.
Hibiki...!
That's Another Hibiki!
Happy Birthday, My Overlord
Happy birthday, my overlord!
This is no good.
No good at all!
Such a mundane celebration is ill befitting of my overlord...
Zi-O!
We don't have Hibiki's Watch, you need to use Zi-O II!
I know!
But he attacked us first. Something's going on here.
I see, you want to get a read on him...
ZI-O!
GEIZ!
Transform!
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER GEIZ! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!
You...!
Let's fight ancient with ancient!
KUUGA!
No way, you need magic for an Oni.
WIZARD!
ARMOR TIME!
KUUGA!
WIZARD!
You two aren't the ones I'm after...
Come on out, Hibiki.
Problems with an Oni...
...should be handled by an Oni.
Lightning
Get ready.
An Oni...? So is he Hibiki?
Huh?
You're dragging the Oni's name through the mud.
And I'm gonna put an end to it.
Slashing Sound: Seismic Thunder!
What the...?
What do you think you're doing?!
Wait!
What just happened...?
Tsukuyomi!
What happened here?
Was that Hibiki fighting the Another Rider?
We don't know.
That's not Hibiki.
It's Todoroki.
And who are you?
Me?
I'm Kiriya Kyousuke.
I'm Hibiki.
Hibiki!
Seems like you guys know what's up with that mockery of an Oni.
Mind filling me in?
Of course!
There's something I need to ask you, too.
Sounds good, let's hear it.
Right this way!
Not so close.
Aw, don't sweat it!
Another Rider...
So then he's being manipulated by your enemy?
Most likely to lure you out, and get the Hibiki Ride Watch.
Ride Watch?
This, do you have one of these?
Nope, first I've seen of it.
So you're collecting these too?
If I manage to get one, I don't mind letting you have it.
Really?!
On one condition...
The two of you need to prove that you're worthy to be Oni.
Oni...?
Exactly.
Traditionally, the title of Oni is only given to those who train for it.
So the two of you are gonna train.
First up will be taiko drum practice.
Taiko...?
Exactly.
Oni like me use the taiko.
Purify the land, cleanse the evil energy,
and celebrate nature.
Celebrate...?!
You think this is a joke?
Why, giving up?
My overlord, we must!
When it comes to celebrations, I yield to no other!
I will master whatever you have to teach!
Who are you?!
I am an oni of celebrations!
I guess I'll go look for Todoroki.
An oni of celebrations...!
Begin.
This is magnificent...!
I can think of no greater way to celebrate the advent of my overlord!
Woz?
You're freaking me out...
Let him go.
Why did you leave...
...Tsutomu?
The reports placed him around here...
Todoroki!
Oh, the girl from before.
Sorry to intrude.
I'm trying to find the Another Rider's identity.
Can you tell me anything?
Another Rider?
So he wasn't a Makamou?
Makamou...?
That thing was someone who was training to become an Oni.
Usually if an Oni makes a mess, it's the mentor's responsibility to clean it up.
His mentor...?
A guy named Kiriya Kyousuke.
That guy that was Hibiki...
Kyousuke told you that?
Well, don't buy it.
Rejoice!
I can't even...
Come on, that's pathetic.
If that's too much to handle, you'll never make it as an Oni.
And then even if I do find the Watch, I can't let you have it.
Do you really need it that badly?
What do they accomplish?
They let me become a king.
That's my dream.
King...?
You sure are a weird one.
And you seriously believe that?
I advise against impossible dreams.
You lose all hope when they don't pan out.
Sougo!
The Another Rider is back, Todoroki is fighting it right now.
Let's go.
Could you bring Woz along?
Got it.
I'll take care of this mess in your mentor's place!
I just need you to back off, alright?
What was that move...?
Are you alright?!
I'm fine.
Oh, Hibiki didn't come along?
We're not letting you guys take the Ride Watch.
EX-AID! ZI-O!
FURY!
Transform!
ARMOR TIME!
POWERED TIME!
LEVEL-UP! EX-AID!
REVIVE FURY!
FURY!
There's no point if Hibiki isn't here!
Woz!
Interrupt me not!
The Another Rider's back, you need to join them!
Geiz is at my overlord's side, is he not?
I see no issue.
Right now there is something much more important I must attend to.
Preparing a suitable celebration for my overlord's birthday!
You're so foolish.
How is that?
None of this would actually make Sougo happy.
That's preposterous.
Woz, you have no idea how to actually celebrate with someone.
You're just making yourself happy.
I'm through here.
I do not know... how to celebrate...
That cannot be...
Am I not he whom rejoice and celebrate personify...
SAW DIVIDER!
Alright, I think we can do this!
We can finish it.
ZI-O!
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER ZI-O II!
SPEED TIME!
REVIVE REVIVE REVIVE!
REVIVE TYPHOON!
TYPHOON!
Not so fast.
Geiz, let's do this!
Right.
RIDER FINISH TIME! FINISH TIME!
TWICE TIME BREAK!
TIME BURST!
Tsutomu?!
What?
Your classmate who wanted to become an Oni...?
It's you, Tsutomu, isn't it?
Sougo...?
Is that you?
What happened to you?
Please, tell me everything.
It's not quite over yet.
HIBIKI
Zi-O!
Stop!
What?!
Who the hell are you?!
Huh...
That's not the same Hibiki I saw before...
That's because he's not Hibiki at all.
He's just another Oni, one who never earned the title of Hibiki.
Just a regular Oni...?
Really...? He's not even Hibiki?
Tsutomu!
Get out of the way!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Zi-O...
I was never able to live up to my mentor, Hibiki.
There's nothing you can't do with hard work.
Rejoice, it is the anniversary of my overlord's birth!
Rejoice! A mentor's heartfelt lesson!
Hibiki...
Rejoice! A mentor's heartfelt lesson!
The Heisei Oni and the Reiwa Oni
You are Hibiki.
