History Recap / KamenRiderGeatsFinalEpDawnIHereComesTheHighlight

* BackForTheFinale: Ziin and Kyuun reappear after the two left at the end of the last arc.

** Subverted. Suel reverses time around Keiwa, Neon and Michinaga, removing their Rider powers, yet after Ace returns he gives them their Rider powers back.

* MayItNeverHappenAgain: Variation. Girori is content with the DGP coming to an end by leaving this age 'in the hands of its people', and Ziin does mention talks of a new DGP, but this time it won't be a high-stakes DeadlyGame like the one seen throughout the entire series.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Suel finally kills Ace by having Black Tsumuri possess regular Tsumuri and shoot him in the head. It turns out, this was exactly what Ace ''wanted'', as his death released his soul and allowed him to [[DeityOfHumanOrigin become a god.]]

* OutGambitted: Suel thought that Ace dying would simply reincarnate him again, and by the time he regains his past-life memories and right to rejoin the DGP [[YouAreTooLate it would be too late]] as the world would have already been changed beyond his control. However Ace had already planned for his own death since meeting Mitsume in #38, instead turning it into a catalyst to release him from his human body and [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascend into godhood]] in order to overpower Suel himself.

** Suel's composure falls to pieces as he's gradually overpowered. However, when he learns Ace has possessed him and is about to destroy him from the inside, Suel can only exclaim a panicked ThisCannotBe in genuine fear as he dies.

* WorldHealingWave: After Suel is defeated, Ace lets off a wave that de-powers the End Riders and removes ''every'' aspect of the DGP except Tsumuri, Ziin, Kyuun and the Himawari Jyamato.

** Samas is left panicking and shaking Black Tsumuri when she finds the 4-dimensional gate closed, leaving her trapped in the present era with no way to escape Ace’s reset. All she can do is scream in denial as she and the DGP are erased for good.

** Samas is left panicking and shaking Black Tsumuri when she finds the 4-dimensional gate closed, leaving her trapped in the present era with no way to escape Ace erasing the DGP and most of the staff for good. The poor thing is left screaming as her fate is sealed.

** Samas is left panicking and shaking Black Tsumuri when she finds the 4-dimensional gate closed, leaving her trapped in the present era with no way to escape Ace erasing the DGP and most of the staff for good. The poor thing is left impotently whimpering in denial.

** Samas is left panicking and shaking Black Tsumuri when she finds the 4-dimensional gate closed, leaving her trapped in the present era. Then, as Ace erases the DGP and most of the staff for good, she can only impotently whimper in denial.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Suel retooled the DGP from 'saving the world as entertainment' where the draw is the good guys winning in the end to a SadistShow for what is established to be a cabal of elites more in line with his own desires. Naturally, this alienated most of their audience, who are now rooting for the DGP's defeat.

* ChasedOffIntoTheSunset: TheStinger shows [[Series/KamenRiderGotchard Houtaro]] trying and failing to chase down his partner, [=Hopper1=], to no avail. And to rub salt in the wound, they stop for a moment just to knock him on the head before fleeing again.

--> '''Suel:''' I don't need an audience that backtalks me.

Ace has been taken out, but there are still three Riders who carry on his will. Now it falls onto Keiwa, Neon, and Michinaga to stop Suel once and for all. But is it truly the end for Geats?

%% The episode title is a reference to Ace's CatchPhrase.

** Ace defeats the Slug Fortress Jyamato in "Dawn F" by letting himself get eaten then destroying it from the inside. Ace defeats Suel by possessing him and destroying him from the inside out.

* CallBack: "Change My Future", the ending theme from this season's [[Film/KamenRiderGeatsXKamenRiderReviceMovieBattleRoyale annual winter crossover movie]], plays over the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue.

* CatharsisFactor: {{Invoked}}: Girori implies that the reason the DGP staffs are all [[CessationOfExistence erased from existence]] [[KarmicJackpot (minus the benevolent ones such as Tsumuri)]] is that the audience wills that they suffer the [[LaserGuidedKarma consequences]] that their actions deserve.

* DePower: Subverted. Suel reverses time around Keiwa, Neon and Michinaga, removing their Rider powers, yet after Ace returns he gives them their Rider powers back.

** The ''many'' wishes at Ace's shrine include Ben and John's ("Happiness for ojo-sama", albeit obscured), and Sara's ton of wishes that are more she gets the time to actually state them out loud. Among them are Kousei and Irumi's, as well as previous DGP participants.

** Michinaga's wish after the DGP is gone is to eat meat, the wish Chirami offered to him back in #33 of which he [[TalkToTheFist hard rejects in favor of purging the DGP]].
** Though Daichi starts as someone only using Jyamato as a means to his end including eating the babies, he's the one who ends up proposing a peaceful goal in having them and humans co-exist, unlike Archimedel wanting to replace humanity with them.

* NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay: [[KilledOffForReal Even though Ace's mortal body is gone,]] his death only serves as a catalyst for him [[DeityOfHumanOrigin to ascend to godhood and help his friends defeat Suel and end the DGP once and for all.]]

* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: While the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue accounts for the majority of the important surviving characters, Neon's parents are conspicuously absent, though it's likely Kousei returned to prison to serve his sentence.

* ShoutOut: Suel's death is similar to the demise of [[Film/TheMatrix Agent Smith in being destroyed from the inside before exploding with his killer standing in his place.]

* SequelHook: While the main story is resolved very neatly, the epilogue reveals that Ziin is starting up his own, non-fatal version of the DGP that he wants Tsumuri to help him with, hinting at future stories involving the game.
