You never know, this might be the last moment you have with your family.

Ironically, it was none other than Aruto who proved that "As long as the malice of humanity exists, the Ark will never die"! After the intense fight against Horobi spurring the destruction of humanity, Is’s loss triggers Aruto's uncontrollable desire for revenge! In order to prevent the escalation of the conflict between Aruto and Horobi, the other Kamen Riders start to make their move! However, such a conclusion can also lead to a great tragedy...

Episode Tropes:

  • Armor-Piercing Question: Invoked by Aruto...
    "Horobi, did you feel anything when you killed Is? Did you have any sense of her pain!?"
  • Big "SHUT UP!": ...only for Horobi to silence him.
    "SHUT UP! I told you already, I have no heart! As long as there is malice within humanity, I will continue to fight! That's who Kamen Rider Horobi is!"
  • Cycle of Revenge: Invoked by As's plan to manipulate humans and HumaGears alike into a fate of mutual destruction.
  • De-power: Ark-One defeats Gai and the ShotRiser Riders by destroying the Thousand Driver and reprogramming the brain chips inside the latter's heads respectively.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Jin gets in the way of Aruto's Finishing Move against Horobi.
  • History Repeats: Much like twenty-seven episodes ago, Aruto destroys Jin with a powerful Rider Kick. The circumstances are vastly different this time, however, and instead of a well-deserved triumph it ends in tragedy for everyone.
  • Manipulative Bastard: As continues her role being the persuasive as she can be by manipulating both Aruto and Horobi for her own personal plan.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Aruto's only goal was to destroy Horobi, so he isn't clearly expecting Jin to do a Heroic Sacrifice to save Horobi and causing him to question his own actions.
  • One-Man Army: Ark-One easily takes down the large amounts of Magia under Horobi's commands before he personally handled the latter himself.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Aruto, as Ark-One, will stop at nothing to avenge Is in this episode, using all of the malice he obtained from the Ark to use against Horobi.
  • This Is Unforgivable!: After listening to Horobi's reason to fight, Aruto refuses to even reason with him and declares that he must be destroyed for the sake of Is.
  • Wham Shot: As holding a black Progrise Key that seems to be the combination of both Zero-Two and Ark-One Progrise Keys and shows it to Horobi.
