History Awesome / KamenRiderExAid

** Learning from Ex-Aid's battle with the Gatton Bugster, he tricks the Fantasy Gamer support robot into absorbing a [[StandardStatusEffects Confusion]] token which causes it to attack Genm, after which he swipes the Gashat Gear Dual β by taking advantage of the ensuing chaos.

* The OST is just phenomenal. There are some real EarWorms in there.

* The OST is just phenomenal. There are some real {{EarWorm}}s in there.

* The OST is just phenomenal. There are some real {{EarWorms}} in there.

* After Emu's first attempt to use the Hyper Muteki Gashat fails, Kuroto grabs it and uses its secondary function as an InvincibilityPowerup in order to NoSell Cronus' Pause. [[MoodWhiplash Before immediately gloating for too long and]] [[EpicFail not noticing the Invincibility wore off which lets Cronus Pause and take it]].

*** And it once again shows Emu's skill in duping people into going along with his plans, similar what he did to get the other doctors to work together to use Drago Knight Hunter Z. Furthermore, we're treated to a use of UnspokenPlanGuarantee: up until that point, we knew that Chronos still had a Lv. 0 in his service to thwart such as scheme, so why would Emu attempt it again? For all the flak he tends to get, Emu is much smarter and skilled with people than he gets credit for.

* Hyper Muteki Ex-Aid vs Cronus, two of Kuroto's Magnum Opi. One would expect that the battle would be hard fought, but no. Not only can Ex-Aid completely NoSell the Pause, even when the Gashat's flap was only halfway down, but Cronus is unable to land a single blow against Ex-Aid and while Cronus could keep his cool at first, Hyper Muteki's Finisher [[ThisCannotBe sends Cronus reeling]].

* The five Riders absolutely dominating Cronus in their Level 2 forms once his ability to Pause is removed, culminating in Emu dealing the final blow in a clash of Rider Kicks and delivering the perfect BondOneLiner: "Game... clear.". [[ThemeMusicPowerUp All set to ''EXCITE'']].

* The OST is just phenomenal. There are some real earworms in there.

** Cronus averting the StrongButUnskilled trope that had been describing him for so long, showing actual tactics such as using Pause to lure Ex-Aid into the path of Brave's attack when he hits Restart or [[BoringButPractical blocking Ex-Aid's attempt to reprogram him]].

** Asuna drags Nico in to see that the Doctor Riders are not playing a game, but fighting for lives (theirs and their patients). Nico copes with the realization for a while before taking mop from nearby trash and charging at Kuroto with it. Granted, he swats her aside, but the [[PluckyGirld pluck]]!

* Being a Bugster has a LOT of advantages for Kuroto, and among them is transforming into Genm Level X-0 without Dangerous Zombie's side effects. A simple Driver switch and combining Dangerous Zombie's stats with Proto Mighty Action X Origin's drawback removing skill [[TookALevelInBadass takes him into a whole new level]] [[{{Understatement}} of being DANGEROUS]].

* The transformation sequence for Double Action Gamer Level XX is truly amazing. Once again, [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome the special effects team really excelled themselves.]]

* The gang goes into what should be their final fight with the high level Bugsters - Pallad, Graphite and Lovrica - while [[ThemeMusicPowerUp Excite]] plays in background as true AwesomeMusic.

* The ''absolutely amazing'' opening credits. Both the song and opening sequence are great throwback to the earlier Heisei Era, with its mysterious and dark atmosphere, especially when compared to the previous seasons' generally lighter tone in the opening. [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome The special effects]] for the sequences are also excellent.

* We get a Rider vs monster motorcycle battle again, and it's '''awesome'''. Ex-Aid's transformation as they race is an awesome visual. And the finisher Ex-Aid and Lazer pull off [[spoiler: Lazer's tailpipes release a burst of flames, burning the Bugster to a crisp.]]

* The items show their worth once again. Brave [[spoiler:gets a High-Speed power-up and speeds past Graphite before performing an ice-skating-slide towards the Collabos to OHKO it.]]
** In fact, Brave used the exact same strategy that Ex-Aid used to [[spoiler:obtain the Gekitotsu Robots Gashat. Using a power-up item to get past a powerful enemy and defeat the Bugster to get i ts Gashat.]]
* The [[spoiler:Beat Gamer manages to wipe out all of the mooks with rhythm projectiles.]]

* Brave [[spoiler: Level 3 [[CurbStompBattle easily defeating]] Graphite]], returning the favor from earlier.

* [=Ex-Aid=] and Lazer [[spoiler:perform a double finisher against the Collabos Bugster, drifting around it while the Gashacon Breaker's blade is slicing through it!]]
* [[spoiler:Lazer Level 3 is an overly complicated and detailed clustered mess of a suit that's on the same level as Samurai [=HaOh=] in its insanity. And it looks ''awesome.'']]

* This episode reminds us again, that despite his playful nature, Pallad is still one of the Bugster's higher ups. [[spoiler: He actually manage to block a Critical Finish from a Level 3 with just one hand. The attack doesn't even harm him.]]
* Kuroto and [[spoiler: Pallad's plan to discredit Kiriya and deflect suspicion on Kuroto as Genm's real identity. Not only does it work perfectly, this shows that the antagonist are not just run-of-them-mill villains, but a group of intelligent, dangerous people.]]

* This episode shows us [[spoiler:every Rider in their Level 3 forms!]]

* Snipe ''kidnapping'' the Jet Collabos Bugster (yes, you read that right) to goad Emu and Hiiro into fighting. He first defeats Brave, then lures Ex-Aid into a trap and takes him out ''along with the Bugster''. At the end of the episode, Taiga walks away as the winner, having obtained [[spoiler:both the [=DoReMiFa=] Beat as well as the Gekitotsu Robots Gashat.]]

* Ex-Aid living up to his reputation as the genius gamer and {{Determinator}} once again, not to mention being pissed off for almost the entire duration of the episode. After Snipe [[spoiler: blasts him with a Gekitotsu Critical Finish]] and swipes the [[spoiler: Drago Knight Hunter Z Gashat]] from him, Ex-Aid ignores the disadvantage at being a level lower than the opportunistic Rider and employs the exact same strategy that he used in Episode 5, namely utilizing his lightning-quick reflexes and a power boost from one of the blocks, in order to stagger Snipe and snatch it right back.
** And even before that, he pulled a fast one on Snipe - he was gonna give the [[spoiler: Drago Knight Hunter Z Gashat]], but then he immediately pulled back with a quip. It was short, but it showed that Emu was not having any of Taiga's shit during that day.
* Gashacon Breaker + Gashacon Sword + Mighty Action X Gashat + Taddle Quest Gashat = [[spoiler:[=MightyTaddle=] Critical Finish]]!

* [[spoiler: Level 5's TransformationSequence is very epic and majestic.]]
* [[spoiler:Level 5 is yet another cluttered mess that also looks amazing at the same time.]]

* If the next episode trailer is any indication, then in Episode 10 [[spoiler: the Riders are ''finally'' going to work together!]]

* Emu's plan to make everyone work together [[spoiler:and unleashing the CoOpMultiplayer Gashat's power]]. [[spoiler:He called each Rider, saying he'd give him the Dragon Knight Hunter Z Gashat. Turns out he only did that to make them all come at the same place so all of them can clear the game with Ex-Aid acting as the boss monster, allowing the Gashat to create copies of itself for the others to use.]]
* The last battle with [[spoiler:Graphite. Despite all four of them bickering with each other the battle is a complete CurbStompBattle in the Riders' favor. It ends with a SpamAttack duel between the Riders' collective FinishingMove and Graphite's attack with Graphite unable to keep up with the onslaught of attacks.]]
** [[spoiler:Though Graphite was able to keep up for a while, cementing [[TheDragon Graphite's]] Badass stature.]]

** Also with [[spoiler:Ex-Aid at level 1 completely destroying Salty level 3(?)]], though this could be also attributed to [[spoiler:the huge boost that he received from the Christmas energy item and Brave's rhythm buff combined.]]
* Ex-Aid [[spoiler:goes Shakariki!]]
* A villainous example, Genm in [[spoiler: Level X manages to deliver a curb-stomp battle and kill Lazer]]
** Though even as Genm's [[spoiler: Critical End is approaching, Lazer attempts one last [[DoNotGoGentle spinning kick]].]]

* [[spoiler:Emu's natural immunity to the Bugster virus kicks in and his SplitPersonality gives the blank Gashat the data needed to transform into the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat.]]
* [[spoiler: The debut of Double Action Gamer Level X, who easily defeats Zombie Gamer. If it wasn't for his ResurrectiveImmortality, Genm would've lost the fight quickly.]]
** Combined with a CMOF, the debut of [[spoiler:Double Action Gamer Level XX.]]

* Double Action Gamer vs Zombie Gamer and Alhambra. [[spoiler: The two Ex-Aids use their "super cooperation play" to utterly annihilate their opponents.]]

* Here comes [[spoiler:Para-DX!]] who easily curb-stomps Brave, Snipe and Ex-Aid.
** Whoever's doing the voice for the [[spoiler:[[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish Gashat Gear Dual]]]] is amazing.

* Snipe [[spoiler:using Full Dragon]]. While [[spoiler:he still loses in the end thanks to Genm's ResurrectiveImmortality, it was still pretty awesome, nonetheless.]]

* Para-DX [[spoiler: combining the [[StatusBuff Muscular]], [[SuperSpeed Speeding-Up]], and [[{{Invisibility}} Invisible]] items and easily defeats both Ex-Aids XX L and XX R]]

* Despite [[spoiler: Ju Ju Burger's [[BurgerFool design motif]], Emu shows that it's [[LethalJokeCharacter anything but useless]] by using the skating control scheme of the game to completely outpace Snipe and dodge everything coming his way.]]
** [[spoiler: Taiga's even impressed with how well Emu used the Gashat, up until Nico [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments reveals that it's a Hamburger Game]]]]
* Props to this week's patient Kobushi Tsukuru who not only [[spoiler: took it upon himself to make games in Kuroto's "absence" but even managing to make his own Gashat at ''Level 4'']]
* Ex-Aid managing to [[spoiler: finish the Ju Ju Burger game without having to kill the Burgermon Bugster.]]

* We were given an appetizer of what would happen if someone were to push Pallad's BerserkButton in #16, and now we get to see the full extent of Pallad's rage when he's pushed '''way past''' his boiling point. The only reason this even qualifies a spot on this page is because [[spoiler:he directs all that anger on perhaps one of the most unhinged and irredeemable bastards in the history of the franchise]]...[[CatharsisFactor and it was extremely satisfying to behold.]]
** Firstly, he goes all [[spoiler:flaming RapidFireFisticuffs on Genm Zombie Gamer Level X as Fighter Gamer Level 50, eventually sending him crashing into the base of a mountain.]] He then [[spoiler:switches to Puzzle Gamer Level 50 and absorbs not one, not two, but ''three'' [[StatusBuff Muscular]] items and scores a direct hit on Genm's chest, succeeding in actually '''knocking him out of the transformation!''']]
*** To elaborate [[spoiler:Para-DX hits Genm upwards of thirty times, with the last hit sending him '''flying''' ''several feet'' through a quarry and into a mountain. And even though he does get back up, it takes him longer this time around. The asshole got a well deserved CurbstompBattle.]]

* [[spoiler: Kuroto going full MagnificentBastard after his beating at Pallad's hands and revealing to Emu he has the Bugster Virus while laughing maniacally just to stick it to Pallad, who wants to keep Emu around for the sake of having an equal against which to fight.]]

** Learning from [[spoiler:Ex-Aid's battle with the Gatton Bugster]], he [[spoiler:tricks the Fantasy Gamer support robot into absorbing a [[StandardStatusEffects Confusion]] token which causes it to attack Genm, after which he swipes the Gashat Gear Dual β by taking advantage of the ensuing chaos.]]
** Despite the risk, he [[spoiler:willingly exposes himself to a large amount of Bugster Virus contained in the Gashat while transforming into Fantasy Gamer Level 50]] and [[spoiler:just when it looked like he would succumb to the virus, he suppresses it through [[HeroicWillpower sheer willpower]] and promptly follows Para-DX's lead by doling out a CurbStompBattle to Genm (and the Gatton Bugster too), appropriately accompanied by a Castlevania-esque {{Leitmotif}}.]]
** He also [[spoiler:successfully manages to 'wake up' Ex-Aid's civilian persona to seize back control of his body from 'M'.]]
** Hiiro being perfectly willing to use the Mighty Action X Gashat to transform and fight. [[spoiler:Had Emu not come to steal back the Gashat,]] Hiiro would've transformed into Ex-Aid.
** By the way, being a [[spoiler:Demon King and all]], he gets to [[spoiler:control ''an army of Bugster grunts'' to sic at both Genm and Gatton!]]
** And not just [[spoiler: army of Bugster. He also gains GravityMaster, Barriers, teleportation, SummonMagic, a combat ready BadassCape and back eye sense!]] We can say now that Level 50 is a general pack of awesomeness!

* The fight between Brave [[spoiler:Level 50]] and Para-DX. For the first time since he first appeared, someone actually managed to fight Para-DX on equal ground
** Hiiro even seemed to be ''gaining'' ground on Pallad, even hurting him enough to force him to use two recovery items to keep fighting. [[spoiler: If the [[HeroicRROD tolls of Level 50]] had started just a little bit later, he might have won.]]
* Snipe [[spoiler:Simulation Gamer Level 50.]]It's no less awesome than Fantasy Gamer.
* MIGHTY [[spoiler:BROTHERS!]] CRITICAL FINISH!!

* Snipe [[spoiler:Level 50]] vs Para-DX. Snipe is able to use his powers without straining himself out and is actually able to make a tie with him, with both de-transforming after being hit with their respective {{Finishing Move}}s.
* Taiga goes to Tsukuru to make a countermeasure against Genm's Dangerous Zombie Gashat, more specifically, a countermeasure against the latter's ResurrectiveImmortality. While PlayedForLaughs, [[spoiler:this could be the origin for this series' SuperMode.]]
* Brave shows that while he cannot yet handle the strain of [[spoiler: Level 50]], he's now more than capable of handling [[spoiler:Level 5 Full Dragon.]] Furthermore, despite the fact that [[spoiler:he's only a level 5, he's able to defeat the level 30 Kaiden Bugster with the use of a Muscle-Up Energy Item showing that he's also becoming more gaming savvy.]]
* Villainous example: Kuroto has now achieved Dangerous Zombie's [[spoiler:Level X. Genm's transformation is so powerful now that it releases massive amounts of energy, then he shows that he can now keep up with Ex-Aid Level 20, a form previously shown capable of curbstomping him before.]]
** [[spoiler:In the preview for the next episode, Genm can be seen defeating Ex-Aid Level 20 while breaking one of his Gamer Drivers.]]

* The bicycle match between Ex-Aid XX L and Charlie Bugster.
* [[spoiler: Kuroto tricking Emu into a one on one fight by infecting himself with the Bugster virus]]
* [[spoiler: After achieving Level X, Genm can now create clones of himself, allowing him to be in two places at once.]]
** [[spoiler: Not only that, but his upgraded Critical Dead summons a horde of Zombie Genm clones. That ability alone is ''terrifying.'' ]]
*** [[spoiler: Oh, but it [[FromBadToWorse gets worse]]. You see for someone with a Gamer Driver it no longer explodes. Instead it merely corrupts the Driver, making it impossible for that Rider to ever transform again. Which makes the pool of opponents Genm has to worry about shrink...]]
** [[spoiler: The fact that Kiriya's research will be the basis for Maximum Mighty. Even in death he's helping his friend, and screwing with Kuroto]].

* [[spoiler: Everything about Maximum Gamer. From it's incredible power and speed, it's ability to rewrite Bugster programming and of course, the awesome [[FinishingMove Maximum Mighty Critical Finish and Maximum Critical Break.]]]]
* The utter CurbStompBattle against Genm, topped off by a triple Rider Finisher.
* Pallad deserves a special mention by [[ManipulativeBastard encouraging Emu to get rid of Kuroto]]. [[spoiler:Once Emu plays his part in removing Kuroto's Genm powers, Pallad shows up to finish the job.]]
** And [[NightmareFuel terrifying as it is]], [[spoiler: Kuroto's death is one hell of a satisfying KickTheSonOfABitch moment.]]

* Para-DX wastes a bunch of Ride-Players as fans call it a [[VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes Maximum Spider]].

* [[spoiler:Kamen Rider Poppy]] utterly [[CurbStompBattle Curb-stomping]] Ex-Aid and Snipe. Also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} since [[spoiler:Poppy]] doesn't loses her cuteness when fighting, with her using some dance-inspired moves. And of course there's her [[spoiler:[[FinishingMove Critical]] [[HeartBeatdown Crews-Aid]]]], which is cute and awesome at the same time.

* The three Riders vs Pallad and his two Bugsters. The Riders doesn't pull any punches and goes immediately into their most powerful form, utterly beating the crap out of their opponents. Special mention goes to Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer, who, for the first time, managed to drive Para-DX into a corner. His battle style is also incredible, [[spoiler:jumping in and out of the Maximum Gamer suit while using the suit as an automaton.]] Even Para-DX is no match for it.

* Nico as [[spoiler: Ride-Player Nico]] is just as awesome as Poppy in [[spoiler: her rider form]] and even more ridiculous.

* The various hints throughout the episode that [[spoiler: Poppy's original personality is FightingFromTheInside. She expresses concern over the fact that humans only have one life and when Taiga succeeds in curing Nico she utters a "Thank Goodness" while showing a sincere smile. The kind goofy girl we remember is still in there somewhere.]]

* Pallad as Perfect Knock Out utterly demolishes the battlefield before walking off [[spoiler: with Emu in tow]]. There was absolutely nothing anyone could do against him.
** In detail, we find out that Perfect Knock Out possesses the special abilities of Perfect Puzzle ''and'' Knockout Fighter. Puzzle shields, fire punches, and the ability to combine Energy Items. Did we mention that [[spoiler: he can use Energy Items to power up the Gashacon Parabragun?]] He also [[NoSell no sells]] pretty much everything Brave and Snipe throw at him. All this plus a new ImageSong make this a memorable debut for the form.
* Nico challenges Pallad-[[spoiler:possessed Emu]]. He brushes her off as insignificant, but still that was some real bravery from her.

* As the episode's title suggests, [[spoiler: the battle between [[SuperMode Super Modes]][[note]]well, MidSeasonUpgrade vs SuperMode, technically, as Muteki Gamer is Ex-Aid's actual SuperMode, but you get the idea.[[/note]]. Ex-Aid's Maximum Gamer and Para-DX's Perfect Knock Out Gamer. First Ex-Aid battles in the Maximum Gamer suit before abandoning it to launch himself at Pallad and fight using Action Gamer's CombatParkour. Throughout the fight you can see both of their Rider Gauges drain, yes, '''even Pallad's'''. It all ends between with a clash between their [[FinishingMove Finishing Moves]]. While Emu may have lost the battle, Pallad's Rider Gauge shows just how close it was as his was '''at the minimum'''.]]
* [[spoiler: [[HesBack Kuroto's back]] and he's looking for Revenge, letting us see what Level 0 has to offer.]]
** [[spoiler:While obviously not powerful enough to take down Pallad's Level 99 form, the fight isn't anywhere near the CurbStompBattle that Perfect Knock-Out normally gives with Genm continuously coming back for more, without the ResurrectiveImmortality Dangerous Zombie had.]]
** [[spoiler: When Pallad gets fed up about his battle being interrupted, he tries to possess Emu again. Only to find out that he can't, Poppy then explains that the Game Area generated by the Proto Mighty Action X Origin Gashat [[KryptoniteFactor weakens the abilities of Bugster Viruses]]. Despite who owns the Gashat, the Doctor Riders now have a new and highly effective weapon at their disposal.]]
** Also, note that in the preview of the next episode, [[spoiler:both Taiga ''and'' Hiiro are seen holding Gashat Gear Dual Beta in their hands. Yup, they do not have to share the Gashat anymore since both of them now has one each. Given that Kuroto is revived and he's the creator of the Gashat Gear Dual Beta, it shows that as much as an evil person Kuroto is, [[EnemyMine it turns out he's pretty willing to help the Doctor Riders beat Pallad,]] even if it means he has to create another Gashat Gear Dual Beta to even the odds.]]

* Both battles between [[spoiler: Genm Level 0 and Para-DX Level 99. In the first battle, Kuroto reveals that the simple act of coming into contact with his Level 0 form will cause Para-DX's level to drop, '''fast'''. How fast? A few seconds was all that it took for Perfect Knock Out to go from Level 99 to Level 75. The OhCrap from Para-DX as he quickly pushes Genm away is palpable.]]
** [[spoiler: When Pallad tries to kill Kuroto... again, Kuroto simply [[BackFromTheDead respawns]] almost immediately saying that the Proto Mighty Action X Origin Gashat gives him '''99 continues'''. Ladies and Gentlemen, Genm's ResurrectiveImmortality is back!]]
** [[spoiler: In the second battle, Genm and Ex-Aid team up against Para-DX and it's a complete CurbStompBattle in their favor. Genm uses numerous Energy Items in order to stay in contact with Para-DX to the point where not even his skills can let him keep up with Ex-Aid Level 99. The battle ends in a three-way Speed Blitz when all three of them grab Speed-Up Energy Items before Ex-Aid and Genm release their {{Finishing Move}}s, boosted by the Speed-Up Energy Items]]
** [[spoiler: The combination attack deserves a special mention here. Not only does it looks visually awesome, the cooperation between the two was superb to the point that you won't even know these two are bitter enemies. Plus, it looked like it was ripped straight from a video game.]]

* Nico hands Taiga his coat so he could finish it as a doctor.
* [[spoiler:Being a Bugster has a LOT of advantages for Kuroto, and among them is transforming into Genm Level X-0 without Dangerous Zombie's side effects. A simple Driver switch and combining Dangerous Zombie's stats with Proto Mighty Action X Origin's drawback removing skill [[TookALevelInBadass takes him into a whole new level]] [[{{Understatement}} of being DANGEROUS]].]]
* [[spoiler: All of Kamen Rider Cronus AKA Masamune Dan's debut fight. First, he transported the Riders and Bugsters and then casually strolls into the battle between the Riders and Bugsters. He then revealed that [[EvilAllAlong not only has he infected himself with the Bugster virus 16 years ago to be able to transform into Cronus, but also claims that since he is Genm Corp's president, he is the true creator of Kamen Rider Chronicle.]] As it turns out, he has been using them all along for his own, currently unknown plans. Yes, ''even'' Kuroto. Turns out, this guy is an even bigger MagnificentBastard than his own son and Pallad. And after transforming into Cronus, he then proceeds to curbstomp ALL the Riders and Bugsters using his time manipulation ability. Even Para-DX, Ex-Aid and Graphite Level 99 are no match for him. Even worse, he has the ability to permanently kill even a fully manifested Bugster, which he demonstrated when he kills Loverica, whom Graphite is no longer able to resurrect. We also got the first glimpse of the FinalBoss Bugster: Gemdeus. Even better, Cronus is the key to defeating Gemdeus. Needles to say, THE FINAL BATTLE has truly begun.]]

* Kuroto and Emu's plan to defeat Cronus, with Kuroto secretly hiding in his Bugvisor II after he got Game Over. That means the time altering effects of Cronus don't apply to him. He pops out, tackles Masamune, undoes the pause, giving time for Emu to use reprogramming. [[spoiler: If Hiiro didn't betray them, the Doctor riders would have defeated Cronus right there.]]

* Hiiro, [[spoiler: now taking orders from Cronus, defeats Level 99 Ex-Aid! Granted Emu didn't want to fight in the first place but the fact that the Level 50 Taddle Fantasy was able to take down the Level 99 Maximum Mighty X is awesome in its own right.]]
* Parad and Graphite enter the Game World of Kamen Rider Chronicle in order to [[spoiler: collect a sample of the still dormant FinalBoss Gemdeus as a weapon against Cronus]]
** [[spoiler: In order to cultivate the virus, Graphite injects it into himself. He then immediately screams in pain from the stress it's putting in his body. That's right, Gemdeus is so powerful, just a tiny sample of his dormant virus strain can nearly overwhelm a '''Level 99 Completed Bugster.''' Nightmare Fuel it may be, but awesome.]]

* Parad and Graphite's plan works! [[spoiler: Almost, injecting Gemdeus' virus into Cronus' Bugvisor II does indeed [[HopeSpot nullify Cronus' Pause ability]] which would make the fight more even. However, Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo Level 0 had other ideas and nullifies the virus with his Level 0 ability.]]

* We were told before that the Proto Gashats have "unlimited potential" and the [[spoiler: newly revived Kiriya shows us just how much they can do.]]
** [[spoiler: Lazer Turbo Level 0 takes on Genm Level X-0 and '''takes the advantage''' despite the power boost Level X gives Genm.]]
** [[spoiler: He then uses the Proto Shakariki Sports Gashat whose Finisher is strong enough to give Genm a Game Over.]]
*** [[spoiler: Emu is able to NoSell this by grabbing the Armor-Up Energy Item. ]]
** [[spoiler: In his second battle, Lazer Turbo pulls out Proto Jet Combat and uses it to hold down '''Maximum Gamer''']]
* Last episode, Graphite injected himself with a sample of Gemdeus' virus strain, here we see [[spoiler: that it's breaking him down with TaintedVeins, reminding us once more just how powerful Gemdeus is.]]

* Emu's Reprogramming attempt on [[spoiler: Kiriya. First Kiriya uses Alhambra as a HumanShield but from the explosion comes a second strike that hits dead on. While it didn't work because Kiriya is following Cronus out of his own volition, the combo attack was awesome nonetheless]]
* Kuroto [[spoiler: completes the '''Hyper Muteki Gashat''']]

* After [[spoiler: Emu's first attempt to use the Hyper Muteki Gashat fails, Kuroto grabs it and uses its secondary function as an InvincibilityPowerup in order to NoSell Cronus' Pause. [[MoodWhiplash Before immediately gloating for too long and]] [[EpicFail not noticing the Invincibility wore off which lets Cronus Pause and take it]].]]
* Emu [[spoiler: [[GodzillaThreshold teams up with Parad in order to perform the same Pause counter strategy Kuroto used in Episode 33]].]]
** [[spoiler: Except that Emu lied and instead used Poppy's Bugvisor II in order to [[SplitPersonalityMerge inject Parad into himself]] to become who he once was once more, '''[[HesBack Genius Gamer M]]''', the only one capable of using the Hyper Muteki Gashat]]
*** [[spoiler: Which would not have been possible without Kiriya's help, revealing that [[CallBack what he said to Emu]] was that he was a FakeDefector, allowing Emu to get the Hyper Muteki Gashat back from Cronus.]]
*** And it once again shows Emu's skill in [[spoiler: duping people into going along with his plans, similar what he did to get the other doctors to work together to use Drago Knight Hunter Z. Furthermore, we're treated to a use of UnspokenPlanGuarantee: up until that point, we knew that Chronos still had a Lv. 0 in his service to thwart such as scheme, so why would Emu attempt it again?]] For all the flak he tends to get, Emu is much smarter and skilled with people than he gets credit for.
* [[spoiler: Hyper Muteki's transformation. Right as Emu activates it, Cronus hits his [[TimeStandsStill Pause]] [[IncrediblyLamePun button]]. Then, this happens:]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Cronus''': "That Gashat will be discontinued..."]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Hyper Muteki Gashat''': [[NoSell "BAKKAN!"]]]]
** [[spoiler: Which is followed up by Cronus managing to pull off an EyeTake with his helmet all while the newest MostWonderfulSound starts playing and the latest SuperMode is unveiled.]]
* [[spoiler: Hyper Muteki Ex-Aid vs Cronus, two of Kuroto's Magnum Opi. One would expect that the battle would be hard fought, but no. Not only can Ex-Aid completely NoSell the Pause, even when the Gashat's flap was only halfway down, but Cronus is unable to land a single blow against Ex-Aid and while Cronus could keep his cool at first, Hyper Muteki's Finisher [[ThisCannotBe sends Cronus reeling]].]]
** [[spoiler: The Finisher in its entirety. At first it seems like a simple Rider Kick which Cronus intercepts with his own, but then it becomes a TeleportSpam of kicks not even [[TimeMaster Cronus]] can keep up with. When the combo of kicks ends, it seems as though Cronus has suffered no damage at all, but [[YouAreAlreadyDead then all the damage takes effect]] which launches Cronus up into the air. [[RewatchBonus Something that was alluded to during the Finisher itself as none of the "Hit" effects ever appeared]].]]
*** Even better? If one slows it down and counts the "Hit" effects, [[spoiler:Cronus effectively got hit over ''30 times'' in under ''seven seconds''.]] Ouch.
** A villainous example, [[spoiler:Cronus ''survives'' the inevitable "final form debut CurbstompBattle", something that not Freeze, Deemushu, Legion, or Aries can attest to. The closest other General or powerful monster to have survived it were Ganmaizers Fire and Gravity, but they stayed dead for a few episodes before coming back from the dead]].

* As aptly referenced by the episode title, the debut of [[spoiler:Brave Legacy Gamer Level 100]]. Despite a measly one level difference, Hiiro manages to not only [[spoiler:outduel Parado, but also come to within a whisker of giving the Bugster a Game Over.]] Had it not been for Nico butting in and interrupting his coup de grâce, Masamune would have won then and there.
** Later on in the episode, the immense power of the [[spoiler:Taddle Legacy Gashat]] takes a back seat to Hiiro's tremendous skill as he expertly handles [[spoiler:two Level 99 Bugsters]] coming at him from both sides, and knocks them out of their battle forms with an AOE [[FinishingMove Taddle Critical Finish]] at the end.

* There's one for Graphite, when [[spoiler: he reveals '''he can now move during Pause'''! It may not help him long in that particular fight, but it still means there's a new player on the table in a Paused fight]].

* The beginning of the episode is pretty much a four on one fight between Hiiro, Taiga, Kiriya, and Kuroto against Masamune. Since Emu cannot transform at the time [[spoiler:due to Parado dying in the previous episode,]] the four remaining Riders use Hyper Muteki and get around the 10 second invincibility time limit by switching it between each other. It actually works and they lay some good hits on Cronus...[[spoiler:until he uses Energy Items and Pause to steal their Gashats and Gamer Drivers.]]
* Emu using Mighty Brothers XX [[spoiler: to bring Parado back to life. Turns out ''everything'' he did the previous episode was a BatmanGambit to finally make Parado understand the value of life and what death ''actually'' means so he could redeem him.]]
* Emu [[spoiler: and Parado]] defeating [[spoiler:Cronus]] in the most epic way yet. By the end of the fight, [[spoiler:Masamune]] is beaten and suffering a VillainousBreakdown [[spoiler:at seeing his Gashat destroyed.]]
** During the fight, [[spoiler:Parado manages to get around Cronus by [[TheBusCameBack splitting into Perfect Puzzle and Knock Out Fighter]] to recover his ability to use Energy Items.]]

* [[spoiler:Masamune ''resetting time'' in order to eliminate Hyper Muteki.]]

* With Hyper Muteki [[spoiler: gone due to Cronus' [[ResetButton Reset]], Parado and Emu do battle with Cronus first in Mighty Brothers XX, then with Maximum Mighty X and Perfect Knock-Out. Despite the massive power disadvantage they do incredibly well and give their moniker of Genius Gamer M incredible justice.]]
* Graphite [[spoiler: refuses to join forces with the CR Riders like Poppy and Parado and instead faces off in one final battle with Taiga and Hiiro.]]
** Due to Gemdeus' power, Graphite is now [[spoiler: beyond Level 99, despite this, Brave and Snipe are able to match him as the battle [[MarathonBoss lasts from literal Dusk to Dawn.]]]]
** [[spoiler: Graphite reveals his reason to exist, to act as a game enemy and do battle, [[BloodKnight nothing more]]. This culminates in him fending off and sending Cronus flying when he tries to interfere with the finishing blow. Why? [[VillainRespect Because the Riders defeated him, fair and square]]. Then, due to Gemdeus' power, Graphite's Ultimate Absolute Final Crimson Dragon Slash managed to overpower Cronus' Critical Sacrifice! He then proceeds to just go right ''into'' the finishing blow.]]
** Nico performing a [[spoiler: proper FinishingMove to defeat Graphite with Taiga's Gashacon Magnum: Rider Critical Finish, and the recoil of the shot is so powerful that Nico gets thrown back!]]
* Dan [[spoiler: recreates and improves Hyper Muteki in the span of a single day and night, working himself so hard that he burns through several of his lives.]]
** The [[spoiler: upgrade specifically, Save Slots. Ex-Aid can now create Energy Items that save the user's progress making them immune to the effects of Cronus' Reset.]]
** [[spoiler:Emu gets one soon after when he shows up to the fight. How? [[DynamicEntry Delivering a Hyper Critical Sparking to Cronus's face from out of nowhere.]]]]
* Meta example: [[spoiler: the writers using the Game Over gags to give exposition into the fact that Reset gave Dan most of his lives back instead so they don't stall the plot.]]

* As the episode's title suggests, [[spoiler: Gamedeus makes his appearance and he does not disappoint:]]
** [[spoiler: Simply forming caused a massive burst of airborne Gamedeus Strain viruses to spread and infect people en mass.]]
** Kuroto mentioned that he has power greater than all the other games combined and [[spoiler: he proves it against Hyper Muteki Ex-aid and Perfect Knock-Out Para-DX, specifically he can use enhanced versions of [[AllYourPowersCombined all of the abilities of the previous Bugsters]] such as Kaiden's Sword Play, Alhambra's Magic and even '''Graphite's Crimson Dragon Slash''', keeping the two Riders constantly on the defensive.]]
** [[spoiler: The fact that Gamedeus can push Hyper Muteki Ex-Aid and Perfect Knock-Out Para-DX when he was designed to do battle with only a single Cronus, a power set that has proven to be weaker than Hyper Muteki.]]
* Kiriya's [[spoiler: BatmanGambit to create a cure for the Gamedeus infection. Working from [[CallBack Graphite's ability to adapt to the Gamedeus virus strain]] he deduces that Bugsters are the best possible candidate for developing an antibody, thus he infects both Kuroto and himself, Level 0 Bugsters that can weaken the Gamedeus virus, with the collected viruses from the patients and battles him to the death in order to place stress on their bodies, creating a situation where it's "develop the antibody or die."]]
** The battle itself, [[spoiler: Lazer holds out for the entire battle on his one life while Genm is reduced to '''four lives''', reminder: Genm previously had 82 lives.]]
** In the end, [[spoiler: it's Genm that develops complete resistance, waltzing through the spray of Gamedeus viruses, that previously left him screaming in pain, while just laughing.]]
** Crossing over with Heartwarming, [[spoiler: Kuroto showing a rare moment of mercy and transferring antibodies to Lazer when he was at his limit and about to die.]]
* [[spoiler: From the battle, Kuroto develops the Doctor Mighty XX Gashat, a Gashat designed specifically to destroy Gamedeus with ease. How easily? [[CurbStompBattle One Doctor Mighty Critical Finish was enough to cause Gamedeus']] [[KryptoniteFactor stats to plummet]], [[CurbStompBattle cure all of the infected patients before he was defeated and leave the Bugster in critical condition]].]]
* Masamune, watching over Gamedeus' status from his office, [[spoiler: intervenes when he [[OhCrap realizes]] that Gamedeus is in danger. Upon seeing that Gamedeus is finished and cannot continue, Cronus destroys the Bugster himself, [[RewatchBonus while not in Pause to prevent complete destruction]], [[OneWingedAngel and absorbs the remnants]] to replace Gamedeus as the FinalBoss.]]

* [[spoiler: After lagging behind all the other Riders for a while now, Taiga finally gets caught up. How? By becoming a second Cronus!]]
** [[spoiler: Why is Taiga capable of transforming into Cronus? Because he's been a Kamen Rider for five years which allowed his antibody to develop a wider immunity, wide enough to withstand (albeit painfully) every Bugster virus strain.]]
** [[spoiler: Although Masamune wins due to his power, Taiga managed to hold his own with Cronus' power. Unlike Masamune, as he's incapable of using Pause due to using a Gamer Driver instead of a Bugvisor II, he instead uses his honed fighting prowess and the never-before-seen feature of summoning every Gashacon Weapon. This contrasts with Masamune's reliance of Pause, Cronus' raw strength to win his battles, and lazier fighting style, showing that Taiga is a more skilled Rider.]]
* [[spoiler: After absorbing Gamedeus into himself, Masamune has evolved into a combination of the Bugster and Cronus, which is shown to be an even bigger threat than both of them individually.]]
** [[spoiler: Specifically the powers from Gamedeus are now supported with Cronus' Pause ability and the intelligence of an actual human being instead of a programed GenericDoomsdayVillain.]]
** [[spoiler: Cronus averting the StrongButUnskilled trope that had been describing him for so long, showing actual tactics such as using Pause to lure Ex-Aid into the path of Brave's attack when he hits Restart or [[BoringButPractical blocking Ex-Aid's attempt to reprogram him]].]]
* [[spoiler: Hiiro and Emu pulling BigDamnHeroes to Taiga's and Nico's aid while they are in Game World of Kamen Rider Chronicle. It crosses into heartwarming as they tell Taiga that [[YouAreNotAlone they have his back]] before teaming up against Cronus]].
* When Cronus [[spoiler: attempts to use the previous strategy of luring Ex-Aid into the path of his allies' projectiles, Snipe and Brave reveal that they weren't aiming for Cronus, but each other's shots so that they will ricochet off of each other and into their intended target.]]
* Taiga, in the [[spoiler: Level 50 Bang Bang Simulations gives the final blow. Not the powers of Cronus.]]
* When it appears that [[spoiler: Cronus is defeated, he instead dusts himself off and reveals his OneWingedAngel Form. Kamen Rider Chronicle is far from over.]]

* [[spoiler: Series/KamenRiderBuild's Cameo Appearance. Genm (in Level 0) tries to take down the infected patients but is interrupted by Build who uses the Rabbit Tank form to take Genm and jump to a more secluded area. Build then changes into [[MightyGlacier Gorillamond]] and defeats Genm with ease, giving him a Game Over. Reminder: Level 0 has stats equivalent to Level 10.]]
* Poppy's [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice. By injecting the Doctor Mighty XX Gashat into herself, Poppy breaks down and scatters across the entire city and puts Gamedeus Cronus' Pandemic to a stop before it hits full momentum.]]
* Everybody (sans Parado and Emu who were with Poppy) [[spoiler: steps forth to Gamedeus Cronus for the Final Battle]]
** [[spoiler: In the first fight, the riders manage to prevent a complete CurbStompBattle on their end by having the comparatively weaker Snipe and Lazer constantly shoot from a distance and the stronger Brave and Genm fight up close.]]
* Instead of the final form, [[spoiler: it is the goofy, [[FightingClown ridiculous looking]] [[BreakOutTheMuseumPiece Level 1 forms]] that managed to pull awesome action against the last boss form, by using a series long ChekhovsGun.]]
--> [[spoiler: ''Asuna: You can't separate a Bugster from a patient unless you're Level 1!'']]
** [[spoiler: Kuroto is both a source of Funny and Awesome moments in this battle. After being grabbed by Gamedeus Cronus he still has the gall to remark "Your [Gamedeus Cronus] head is high!" before being launched into a TwinkleInTheSky... Almost. Genm crashes back down with a cry of "Bow down to my Godly talents!" and slams the arm into the ground, stomping on it for good measure.]]
** [[spoiler: Snipe pulls out his giant Energy Bullet technique one more time.]]
* [[spoiler: Parado's heroic sacrifice]], which is also a tearjerking moment. [[spoiler: In order to [[MustMakeAmends make amends]] for his crimes, he uses his Level 99 form to hold down Gamedeus Cronus so that the others can perform the Finishing Blow. Immediately afterwards he plugs in Doctor Mighty XX in order to eliminate the separated Gamedeus before it could become a danger, the latter act results in his death.]]
* [[spoiler: Despite losing his power up, Masamune dusts himself off and proclaims that with Parado gone, Hyper Muteki is no longer a danger to him and prepares to fight once more with the vanilla Cronus form.]]

* [[spoiler: Emu overcomes Pause and punches Cronus' Bugvisor Zwei so hard ''it breaks''. Epic beatdown of assembled team ensues.]]
** [[spoiler: He doesn't just break the Bugvisor Zwei, he hits Cronus so hard (it must be emphasised, ''while not transformed'') that Cronus goes flying back and smashes through the clock he's had since his first transformation.]]
* Kuroto was [[spoiler: able to bring Poppy back intact just from leftover data. He is GOD after all.]]
** [[spoiler: Also, anyone who thought they had FridgeLogic as to why Emu could still transform at ALL with Parado "gone"? Kuroto thought of it first.]]

* The five Riders [[spoiler: absolutely dominating Cronus in their Level 2 forms once his ability to Pause is removed, culminating in Emu dealing the final blow in a clash of Rider Kicks and delivering the perfect BondOneLiner: "Game... clear.". [[ThemeMusicPowerUp All set to ''EXCITE'']].]]

** Seeing him go on even as the Proto gashat's side effects wreck his body shows off his Determinator qualities. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, this effort starts destroying everything around him and probably causes Maki enough stress to [[EverythingFades disappear]] in a blink of an eye.]]

* Kuroto proved to be [[HeadsIWinTailsYouLose scheming]] [[MagnificentBastard bastard]] once again. He [[spoiler: lured Emu and Parado into clearing a game that somehow allowed him to escape his prison]]. The special ends on a cliffhanger leading to the events of Another Ending.

* [[spoiler: Kuroto and Parado save everyone from being killed by Gamedeus Machina's OneWingedAngel form in their first encounter.]]
* Hiiro and Emu managing to successfully operate and remove [[spoiler:Madoka's]] brain cancer. The cancer was terminal and nigh impossible to be removed, but Hiiro isn't called 'the Super Surgeon Who Never Fails' for nothing and that's without Emu at his side. What's more, this [[spoiler:is vital for Fuuma to [[HeelFaceTurn be redeemed.]]]]

** Not to be outdone, Gamedeus corners Ex-Aid onto a concrete building with the tip of his giant sword tail, shifts into sword mode ''and slams into Ex-Aid at full speed.'' [[spoiler: '''[[NoSell It doesn’t even scratch him.]]''']]

* [[spoiler: Nico appears as Kamen Rider Nico Snipe.]]

* Taiga and Nico defeating Revol together.

** [[spoiler: Taiga once again becoming Kamen Rider Cronus, this time using the Bugvisor II. If you remember the series, this was stated to kill anyone that didn't have perfect immunity. While the transformation [[TooCoolToLive doesn't hold for long]], it's good while it lasts. ]]
*** [[spoiler: Seeing the good guys use pause, after having to watch Masamune abuse it, is also a ''very'' cathartic experience. ]]

** The next step in [[spoiler: Kuroto's]] plan is to [[spoiler: absorb the data of Another Parado]] by ''biting'' on the Bug Visor. That's about as much confirmation of his CreepyAwesome qualities you need.

* The fact that for the first time in the series history, [[spoiler: the female lead is be upgraded into a full Kamen Rider of her own, when Poppy becomes Kamen Rider Poppy.]]
** Cute angels, kicking ass and taking names. [[spoiler: Poppy and Nico make for an awesome ActionGirl duo.]]
* While ''[[Series/KamenRiderGaim Gaim]]'' is the first series to have two different female Kamen Riders with Marika and Idunn, (''[[Series/KamenRiderWizard Wizard]]'' doesn't count since while there are two female riders in that show, both of them use the same Rider form: Kamen Rider Mage), since Idunn only appeared in the movie, [[spoiler:Ex-Aid will be the first series where two different female Kamen Riders appeared in the TV series (Poppy and Ride Player Nico)]].
* The fact that just about every episode of the series has one or more moments worthy of being a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, much like ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger''.

[[folder:Legendary Rider Stage]]

[[folder:Kamen Sentai GoRider]]

* Gorider Hurricane and Gorider Bazooka with Ex-Aid. The awesomness must be ''seen'' to be believed.

** The Riders are also not slouches themselves. They fight the Bugsters without transforming and managed to hold their own quite well. Emu, on the other hand...
* When Shinnosuke regrets that he cannot transform into a Rider anymore to help the heroes (because Mr. Belt sealed his gears to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands), and everything looks bleak... cue DynamicEntry from everyone's favorite [[Series/KamenRiderGaim space god]], bringing Mr. Belt from the sealed Drive Pit.

[[folder: Hyper Battle Video Kamen Rider Ex-Aid ''Tricks'' Kamen Rider Para-DX]]

** Doubles with CrowningMomentOfFunny, but Hiro using CPR to utilize Beat's power. It totally fits his character.

** [[spoiler: Taiga's even impressed with how well Emu used the Gashat, up until Nico [[CrowningMomentofFunny reveals that it's a Hamburger Game]]]]

* [[spoiler:Kamen Rider Poppy]] utterly [[CurbStompBattle Curb-stomping]] Ex-Aid and Snipe. Also doubles as a FunnyMoment since [[spoiler:Poppy]] doesn't loses her cuteness when fighting, with her using some dance-inspired moves. And of course there's her [[spoiler:[[FinishingMove Critical]] [[HeartBeatdown Crews-Aid]]]], which is cute and awesome at the same time.

* [[spoiler: All of Kamen Rider Cronus AKA Masamune Dan's debut fight. First, he transported the Riders and Bugsters and then casually strolls into the battle between the Riders and Bugsters. He then revealed that [[EvilAllAlong not only has he infected himself with the Bugster virus 16 years ago to be able to transform into Cronus, but also claims that since he is Genm Corp's president, he is the true creator of Kamen Rider Chronicle.]] As it turns out, he has been using them all along for his own, currently unknown plans. Yes, ''even'' Kuroto. Turns out, this guy is an even bigger MagnificentBastard then his own son and Pallad. And after transforming into Cronus, he then proceeds to curbstomp ALL the Riders and Bugsters using his time manipulation ability. Even Para-DX, Ex-Aid and Graphite Level 99 are no match for him. Even worse, he has the ability to permanently kill even a fully manifested Bugster, which he demonstrated when he kills Loverica, whom Graphite is no longer able to resurrect. We also got the first glimpse of the FinalBoss Bugster: Gemdeus. Even better, Cronus is the key to defeating Gemdeus. Needles to say, THE FINAL BATTLE has truly begun.]]

** To elaborate: Pancreatic cancer is one of the most - if not THE most - malignant cancers there is, and even if successfully operated on it's more than likely the cancer will return and the patient's days are numbered. The surgery itself is risky and dangerous and the patient stood a good chance of dying on Hiiro's operating table, ruining Hiiro's surgeon stats and career. Despite this, Hiiro risked his career anyway to save a person who had resigned himself to death and will probably die soon anyway, just because he could.

* After the final episode aired, Toei advertised the ''Another Ending'' sequel trilogy. The website almost immediately went down due to the number of fans accessing it.

* Kuroto proved to be [[HeadsIWinTailsYouLose scheming]] [[MagnificentBastard bastard]] once again. He [[spoiler: lured Emu and Parado into clearing a game that somehow allowed him to escape his prison]]. The special ends on a cliffhanger without any clues on what will it lead to.

* The fact that for the first time in the series history, [[spoiler: the female lead will be upgraded into a full Kamen Rider of her own, when Poppy becomes Kamen Rider Poppy.]] Though time will tell if this will truly be an awesome moment or if history will repeat itself and [[spoiler:she'll be akin to Alia or Kiriko rather than Yoko or Nadeshiko]].
