Following Medic's Heroic Sacrifice, Shinnosuke's strength is restored and he redoubles his assault on the Sigma Circular. Heart, enraged with Medic's death, rejoins the fray as well. Kamen Rider Drive manages to inflict enough damage to penetrate the Sigma Circular's shield, and calls on all the Shift Cars to give him the strength to finish the job. Both Heart and Driva strike the Sigma Circular, the combined might of human and Roidmude overwhelming the machine and destroying it. The resulting explosion damages the Special Defense Center, and throws Kiriko off her feet.
The exhausted Shinnosuke notes the battle is over, but before Mr. Belt's horrified eyes falls out of the huge gap in the wall. He wakes in a strange forest and is confronted by an ominous black cloud. As he approaches, he is met by a mysterious floating figure who introduces himself as Kamen Rider Ghost. Before he can process this revelation, Shinnosuke suddenly finds himself under attack by an unexpected trio of Roidmudes. Kamen Rider Ghost battles them and directs Shinnosuke to safety before defeating the three Roidmudes.
Shinnosuke wakes to find himself at the foot of the Special Defense Center. Heart greets him, and Shinnosuke realises the Roidmude saved him. He offers Heart his hand, but Heart brushes it off and challenges Shinnosuke to one final fight. However, Shinnosuke, who came to see his once mortal enemies as victims of Banno's manipulations, tries to convince Heart to stop the fight.
Heart calls him naive, and prepares to strike him down. Kiriko arrives and throws Mr. Belt to Shinnosuke, pleading with him to transform and defend himself. Shinnosuke declines, simply watching as Heart charges...only to freeze at the last moment. Shinnosuke had realised Heart was mortally wounded during their battle with the Sigma Circular, and that he'd hoped to die in battle.
Heart tearfully asks if Shinnosuke will remember the Roidmudes, and after Shinnosuke swears to do so the last Roidmude perishes. Shinnosuke grimly notes, "At 3.32 pm...all 108 Roidmudes were destroyed," before he and Kiriko salute their fallen foe.
Upon their return to the backup hangar, Shinnosuke greets his friends. The moment is bittersweet, as he wishes Chase was with them to celebrate. He also notices that Mr. Belt is missing, and upon being informed that Mr. Belt took the Drivers and Shift Cars, realises what he intends.
The SCU arrive at the wrecked Drive Pit, where Mr. Belt plans to seal himself, the Shift Cars, the Tridoron and the rest of his technology until humanity is ready to use it properly. Mr. Belt projects an image of himself, bidding the SCU farewell and asking Kiriko to look after Shinnosuke for him. As Mr. Belt descends deep underground, the SCU salute as they promise to make that worthy future a reality.
A few days later, Honganji, Rinna and Kyuu are packing up, as each member is going their own way. Lt. Otta is grumpy over not having a desk to clear, despite how much time he spent there. Gou is meanwhile picked up by Professor Harley, and rides off into the distance.
Meanwhile, Shinnosuke and Kiriko are driving along when they are pulled over by a police officer on motorcycle. Shinnosuke's car happens to match the reports of a stolen car and so he asks for registration. Unexpectedly, the officer happens to have a familiar face, and both Shinnosuke and Kiriko realise they are looking at the man Chase based himself on. Shinnosuke offers to befriend the officer, who brushes him off and declares he needs no friends.
Shinnosuke then informs Kiriko of something he'd been meaning to say for awhile: that she had the loveliest smile. The two exchange smiles, and drive off into the future...
