Tsutomu!
I thought this would get us the Hibiki Watch.
But if he isn't Hibiki, then this is just a waste of time.
Let's go.
Wait!
Tsutomu!
Are you alright?
Don't worry about me—
Kyousuke!
Did you forget the Oni code?
The mentor is responsible for an apprentice's mistakes, that is our code.
You don't need to remind—
If it happens again... Yoshino will be sending an Oni hunter.
You're soft. Maybe that's why you couldn't take on Hibiki's title.
Shut up!
Leave me alone.
If you can't handle this, then I will.
See you later.
What's going on here?
As it is written in this book...
Rejoice, for the day of birth...
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 the power of an overlord, he has sought to claim the remaining five Ride Watches.
Upon which he encounters Kiriya Kyousuke, claiming to be Hibiki.
But in truth, he did not bear the title of Hibiki.
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!
Here you are.
The Heisei Oni and The Reiwa Oni
Sougo, this guy's the Oni?
The Heisei Oni and The Reiwa Oni
Yep, just a run-of-the-mill one.
The Heisei Oni and The Reiwa Oni
He doesn't look as freaky as I pictured.
He's not, like, an actual oni.
He's not?
Then what is he? Champion of Oni Tag?
Man, he must be a big shot!
I'm gonna have to go all out with his meal!
So when do we get answers?
You had us go through your training but you're not even Hibiki, so what now?
I don't owe you an answer.
And I'd appreciate you staying out of my business.
Suzumiya Tsutomu...
He was a classmate of mine.
He was?
He always talked about his mentor, Hibiki...
That's you, isn't it?
No comment.
This is getting us nowhere.
Actually, maybe Todoroki knows something.
Geiz, can I leave him here with you?
Sure.
Let's go.
What's wrong...?
Nothing...
Ignore him, let's hurry.
Wanna tag along, Woz?
I fear I have more pressing concerns...
Forget all that. C'mon, let's go!
Hey...!
I have lost all grasp of the meaning of rejoice...
What's wrong, Woz? You're acting all weird.
I'm here if you need to talk.
But you can't talk to him about it, can you?
What do you mean?
Please leave the matter be, my overlord.
This is a battle within myself.
And I must come from it victorious.
And then, before day's end...!
Ok, sure...
Hibiki is just a title, you see.
Kyousuke was a student of the former Hibiki.
He was training to take on that role, someday.
So what he said about being Hibiki wasn't completely false, then?
I wouldn't go that far.
He claimed to be Hibiki when he never earned the title.
And not to mention taking on an apprentice. It's a mockery.
You don't have an apprentice, Todoroki?
I don't think I'm ready for one.
Is that how it works?
Becoming an Oni is almost like a lifestyle...
You train yourself, you overcome your weaknesses.
That's all an Oni really is.
Overcome your weaknesses...
That's it... Woz!
Why don't you be Todoroki's apprentice, just for today?
My overlord, what do you mean—
Don't worry!
No, wait, I'm not prepared to take on an apprentice...
Could you please make an exception?
Just for a day?
Seriously, I can't...
Please, he'll be a good boy!
And after I worked so hard on this meal...
Where'd they run off to?
Oh, was it not to your liking?
It could use a bit more salt.
Could you bring me some?
Oh, sure...
Actually, I've got some of the fancy stuff! I'll be right back.
How demanding...
Where did I put it...?
What is this?
Your apprentice put his hopes in there.
He's in class 3.
"My dream is to become an Oni."
"My mentor is an incredible Oni named Hibiki."
"Hibiki is my hero."
"One day, I will become a great Oni too..."
Where are you going?
It's none of your business.
Found it! This here's the good stuff!
And everybody's gone...
You sure you want to leave Woz behind?
Let's hope he solves his dilemma.
It's not really that big of a deal.
Geiz...?
Stop, get off him!
Snap out of it, Tsutomu!
Remember where an Oni's pride comes from!
I'll take care of this!
ZI-O II!
Transform!
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O II!
Stop, keep your hands off my apprentice!
Tsutomu was my friend!
I'm gonna save him!
That's why I have to fight him!
ZI-O RULES!
CONQUEROR STRIKE!
Are you alright?
Obviously not.
Sorry.
You don't need to apologize, it's his fault.
You want to save Tsutomu, right?
We'll help you.
Leave it be.
Why am I doing laundry...?
A loincloth...?!
Hey...
I'm gonna get a fire going, can you get us some stones?
This is the last thing I should be doing...
Then what is it you want to do?
I want... to celebrate.
But I'm not sure how, anymore...
That sounds simple enough.
Simple...?
No celebration suitable for my overlord's birth could ever be phrased as simple.
My mentor was always by my side, until the day he died.
I often stop and think...
What would I say to him if he was still here?
What I could do to help him.
I fail to see the correlation.
Being there for someone... That's a pretty amazing thing, y'know?
Being there for them...?
You being there is kind of a celebration in itself.
Eureka...
Thank you, my good Oni.
A valuable lesson was learned.
Don't you wanna eat?
So, why couldn't you become Hibiki?
You sure cut right to the quick, don't you...
Sorry.
I could never live up to my mentor, Hibiki.
It's that simple.
What was he like?
Hibiki was the kind of person who never gave up, no matter what.
He was manly, and strong...
He was my hero.
Tsutomu used to say that, too.
You wanna be an oni?! What are you, an idiot?
Don't make fun of someone's dream, alright?!
Who even cares what you think, new kid?!
Let's go.
Yeah.
I'm Tokiwa Sougo, the one who wants be a king someday.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Suzumiya Tsutomu.
One day I wanna be an incredible Oni, like my mentor Hibiki, and protect people.
You wanna take after your mentor?
That's awesome.
Yeah, Hibiki's my hero!
But I'm nothing like that.
I never even claimed the title... I lied to him about being Hibiki.
None of that matters.
For Tsutomu, you are Hibiki.
Let's save him, together.
Sougo!
Another Hibiki has been spotted again!
Let's go.
It's a monster, run!
Wait a minute, please!
Tsutomu, listen to me!
When I met you, I had no idea what I was supposed to do.
As much as I trained, I could never live up to Hibiki.
But then you asked to become my apprentice.
As reluctant as I was, I agreed...
Who cares?!
But...
You were there, you believed in me.
You are the one...
...who made me into a real Oni!
That's why I'm gonna save you, no matter what!
The Hibiki Watch...
This is it?
Hibiki...
Does this mean you think I'm ready to be Hibiki?
Thank you...
HIBIKI!
Echoing
Oni
Echoing
Oni
Rejoice!
The title has been passed to a new Hibiki!
Woz...
My overlord, I apologize for acting so unbecoming.
Are you done worrying?
Worrying?
I've cast aside such things.
I don't really get it...
But we should get in there!
ZI-O TRINITY!
ZI-O! GEIZ! WOZ!
Transform!
TRINITY TIME!
THE POWER OF THREE! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O! GEIZ! WOZ!
TRINITY!
Fall upon your knees!
For we are Kamen Rider Zi-O Trinity!
All hail the great overlord Zi-O and his retainers, Geiz and Woz.
The Triumvirate, architect of history, and the ruler of all time!
Do you really need to do that?
It's not so much "need to", but—
Who cares, we've got an Oni to catch!
Alright...
Let's do this!
Tsutomu!
I'm going to save you, just hang on a little longer!
Guys, let's go!
FINISH TIME! ZI-O! GEIZ! WOZ!
TRINITY TIME BREAK! BURST! EXPLOSION!
Are you okay?
Hold on...
Here.
You sure?
I mean, you finally get to be Hibiki.
It's fine, I'm going to keep heading down my own path.
So I can be the kind of Oni Hibiki was.
And you should become the overlord you talked about.
Of course.
You can't do it unless you try.
Same for you, Tsutomu.
I want to train with you again, sir.
Please!
This time won't be as easy...
Yes, sir!
Training an apprentice seems nice...
Maybe I should find one, myself...
Maybe I should run it by Hinaka, first.
I'm home.
Huh, nobody's here...?
Uncle?
Happy birthday!
Rejoice!
On this day, nineteen years ago, this world was graced with the birth of my overlord!
Let the flowers bloom!
Let the birds sing!
Happy Birthday
Let all forms of life show appreciation this day, with every fiber of their being!
Happy Birthday Sougo
The day of my overlord's birth!
Overlord? Don't you mean king?
Yeah, king. Just a slip of the tongue.
Oh man, I forgot it was my birthday today!
That was pretty good, Woz.
He was all worried about how best to celebrate.
Aw, Woz, is that why you were so gloomy all day?
There was no cause for angst, in the end.
Being at my overlord's side is the greatest celebration I can imagine.
You know, I still don't get it...
But thanks, everyone!
Congratulations!
Come on, everyone, eat up!
I really gave it my all today!
Wow, it looks great!
Doesn't it?
Here!
Thanks for the food!
And thus, another Watch is now in the possession of my overlord.
Now only four remain.
And the next Kamen Rider whose power he will inherit...
Next time, on Kamen Rider Zi-O...
I'm going to be Queen. The queen of this world.
Sougo's First Love?!
The first girl I fell in love with...
Sougo's First Love?!
He's coming...
I am Kamen Rider Ginga.
All that is will be destroyed!
Decay is the fate of all things.
All that is will be destroyed!
First Love, Wake Up!
