History Fanfic / KamenRiderSideRideChroniclesOscurasEncore

** Tsumuri still being the navigator raises the question if characters like Ace, Keiwa, and Neon were ever involved with the DGP in this continuity.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Despite being unaware of the true circumstances behind Anne's death (in this new world, she was supposedly killed by a drunk driver), Sasha seems to be doing a decent job adjusting to life after the DGP. While not completely over her grief, she vows to ask out Marcy when she moves to California as a way to make up for never confessing her love to Anne when she was still alive. Unfortunately, once Tsumuri hands Sasha back her ID Core, she remembers how Anne actually died and vows to win the next season of the DGP to bring Anne back to life. As of the Slasher Game, however, Sasha is starting to have her own doubts...]]

Are you ready for an encore? It's been 4 years since [[Fanfic/KamenRiderWitchAlternativeTheBalladOfOscura Luz Noceda, once known as the tyrannical and evil Empress Oscura, aka Kamen Rider Oscura]], accepted her banishment from the Demon Realm and began to live her life again in the Human Realm, along with Amity Blight. And since then, the two, along with Vee and Camilla, have managed to create a happy home with all four of them.

However, Luz still can't escape the demons of her past, and soon, she will have to confront them. A mysterious woman named "Tsumuri" comes bearing an offer. An offer to fight in a tournament that will decide the fate of the world, but with a prize of granting the winner whatever they desire.

Luz, armed with the Desire Driver, will become a Kamen Rider once again to fix the mistakes of her past. But can she do it? For battling Jyamatos and her fellow Riders isn't all she will be fighting, but herself as well.

Will she overcome this challenge?

Or will she fall to the darkness once again?

It's SHOWTIME!!!

* AdaptationExpansion: It was never specified what exactly caused Manny Noceda to pass, but in this fic, we learn he had cancer, and he competed in the DGP so he could wish to be cured. Unfortunately, even though he was said to be a very good player according to Tsumuri, his cancer progressed, so he was forced to retire.

** Mr. Butler seemingly takes the role Girori has as the concierge for the Desire Temple, but whether or not [[spoiler:he is secretly the Game Master like Girori was]] is anyone's guess.

* BadassNormal: [[spoiler:During the Slasher Game arc, Masha manages to kill ''Boscha'' when she isn't even a DGP contestant. Of course, Boscha is revived thanks to the rules for this round, but Boscha herself is still shocked that even happened to her]].
** [[spoiler: Masha again during the labyrinth game at Disney Land. Luz finds Vee and they come across quite a sight. Masha acting like a pirate and sword fighting Jyamato. She doesn't win but she does manage to hold them off for a moment before Luz has to step in.]]

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Penn]] is the first contestant to be killed in the middle of a round, and got more focus compared to [[spoiler:Peter and Sebastian]], the first two contestants to be eliminated.

** [[spoiler: The unknown backer who gave Luz the Oscura Buckle. Luz' fated meeting with her is so far one of the biggest reveals in the entire story. Luz is being sponsored by a witch from the boiling isles. She knows all about what Luz went through and done as Oscura. She specifically wants Luz to become Oscura but this time as a true hero. She is from the far future and is none other than Eda's long time granddaughter, Lumina Clawthorne. Years in the future, people just stuck with cursing Luz as an unforgivable monster and forgot the good she did. Only the Clawthornes remember to pass down the real story. Lumina was just so sick of the hatred that she found a way to go back in time and give Luz the means to become a real hero.]]

* {{Sequel}}: This fic follows up on the alternate version of Luz who Became Oscura in ''Fanfic/KamenRiderWitchAlternativeTheBalladOfOscura'' and ''Fanfic/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWitchAndAmpTheDarkSideOfHope''.

* ForWantOfANail: In this fic's setting, Anne, Sasha, and Marcy never went to Amphibia - or rather, [[spoiler: they did and were wished back by Sasha's father becoming a sponsor of the DGP]] - and Marcy still ended up moving away. As a result, Anne and Sasha became closer friends during high school, though for Anne, she ended up becoming more dependent on Sasha to the point where Marcy has to tell her how dangerous it was for Sasha to steal one of Anne's Raise Buckles ''in the middle of a fight''.

** in “Return to the Boiling Isles” chapter 2: we get a major one. [[spoiler: Despite Lumina claiming not to be part of any Oscura cult, ironically there still is one and they’ve been eagerly awaiting for Luz to return.]]

There is also a side story called ''Oscura's Encore the Movie: Return to the Boiling Isles'' that has the DGP take place on the Boiling Isles, forcing Luz to face her past and deal with a cult that desires the return of Oscura. It can be read on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/52244935/chapters/132157684 here]], and on Website/FanfictionDotNet [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14306341/1/OSCURA-S-ENCORE-THE-MOVIE-RETURN-TO-THE-ISLES here]].

* TheUnReveal: We never learn the true identity behind [[spoiler:the woman who wanted to see Luz use her Oscura powers again]].

* MysteriousBacker: [[spoiler:Luz receives a Raise Buckle specifically designed to emulate the same powers she had as Kamen Rider Oscura, and the final chapter reveals that one of the DGP's viewers was hoping Luz would use it.]]

* BreakTheCutie: Considering how dark the proceeding story was, this is to be expected. [[spoiler:Penn's death does a number on Molly, as the two were starting to become close friends]].

** [[spoiler: Marsha again during the labyrinth game at Disney Land. Luz finds Vee and they come across quite a sight. Masha acting like a pirate and sword fighting Jyamato. She doesn’t win but she does manage to hold them off for a moment before Luz has to step in.]]

* DiscardAndDraw: During the second arc where they have to find new Raise Buckles, [[spoiler: Luz, Sasha, and Marcy obtain the Zombie, Monster, and Magnum Buckles respectively as opposed to using the Magnum, Beat, and Ninja buckles last season]].

* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler: After Luz initially refuses to use the Oscura Buckle, it takes Anne's death to finally convince her to use it, becoming Kamen Rider Oscura once more.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Zoe after the Slasher Game. Suffice to say being left for dead by the guy you were hooking up with, nearly being murdered by plant monsters dressed up as slasher villains, and being saved by Luz and her friends is enough to make you look back on your life. Zoe apologizes to Luz just as the round is over after Luz gets revenge on the Pinhead Jyamato for killing Amity. Come the next chapter and, while Zoe doesn't remember what happened due to the reset, she does realize again how much of a jerk she's been and apologizes to Luz, Amity, and Masha and starts on the path to improvement.]]

** [[spoiler: Anne's death in the final round of the Requiem Arc is similar to how she dies in ''Amphibia'' as she dies by sacrificing herself and disintegrates soon after. Only, in this case, she does not come back to life]].

*** "I wish I never cast the Everlasting Oath with Luz Noceda." - [[spoiler: Amity Blight/Kamen Rider Gato]].

And each major Jyamoto is cosplaying a different slasher villain from Jason Vorhees to Leatherface. They’re even called the names of whatever villain they’re aping.]]
