However, Geats — with his newfound world-reforging powers — put an end to that attempt.
However, Geats — with his newfound world-reforging powers — put an end to that attempt.
The Riders of the era have retained their memories of the DGP, thanks to Ace's new powers. Feeling nostalgic, Ace decides to hold his own DGP without any prizes. Keiwa and Michinaga are reluctant to join, but they may change their minds when it's revealed that Jyamato remnants still roam free among the populace. Not to mention that Beroba and Kekera are still around to carry out their own agendas.
And as if that weren't enough, Zitt, a new Game Master from the future appears. Could Tsumuri still be at risk of becoming the next Goddess of Creation...?
Tropes
- The Atoner: Michinaga remarks that Ace's choice to manage the DGP as an unofficial Anti-Jyamato task force may be his way of atoning for the pain and despair his mother was forced to enable as the Goddess of Creation.
- The Bus Came Back: Daichi makes his return as Jyamato's new caretaker, but something definitely worked itself loose in his head in the time he was out.
- Internal Reveal:
- Ace reveals the Boost Mk IX Buckle to Keiwa, Michinaga and Neon as the reason they kept their memories; Sara learns this indirectly from Keiwa.
- Kekera and Beroba reveal themselves to their respective Riders, having wished to stay in the present era to see their growth.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: The DGP being gone also means the Kurama Zaibatsu loses their leverage with the government, leading to Kousei's home getting raided by the police for bribing them into silence.
- Loophole Abuse: Several people abuse how the DGP management effectively left entirely in the previous episode.
- Since Ace is both running and part of the DGP, Tsumuri can tell him things that, normally exclusively, both the contenders and management need to know.
- Both Beroba and Kekera made wishes before Mitsume's death that ensured they'd be exempt from the Grand End.
- Milking the Giant Cow: Daichi throws his hands up as he proclaims his plans to become the next Jyamashin in his own "Parasite game".
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- Ace recovers the memories of the DGP for every player involved, including the villainous Riders like Daichi.
- Michinaga's crusade against the other Riders becomes this since Ace at his current state can't recover any destroyed ID Cores. With Win holding off DGP management, the only other potential Riders left are Keiwa and Michinaga.
- The Remnant: Jyamato left over from the Grand End are still attacking, thanks to Daichi opening the Parasite Game on their behalf.
- The Reveal:
- Tsumuri reveals that any remaining Jyamato from a DGP are spared from the Grand End; they then go on to become urban legends and folktales.
- Samas, Kekera, and Beroba have remained in the present, the latter two having wished so via the Goddess a few episodes ago.
- Daichi is behind the new Jyamato attacks, having taken over the late Archimedel as gardener.
- Zitt makes his debut at the end of the episode, under orders from Suel to retrieve Tsumuri to make her the next Goddess of Creation as intended.
- Start My Own: Ace decides to hold his own DGP, with himself as the only contender, to create a world where everyone can be happy.
