However, another Woz from an alternate future, White Woz, steals Kamen Rider Quiz's powers in order to make Kamen Rider Geiz the world's savior.
Now, it's time for Black Woz—also known as myself—to strike back.
Swartz meets Heure in a construction site to discuss about White Woz, that is now seemingly on the reign of his timeline. But, Heure is still playing by breaking some mirrors… until suddenly, they heard a ringing noise and a man appears from inside the mirror. Heure says that according to Tsukasa Kadoya, there is another world inside a mirror. That man was a participant of a certain rider battle in the mirror world, and he still exists, even after he was defeated. Heure creates the Another Ryuga Ridewatch, which the man accepts, transforming him into Another Ryuga.Some time later, Zi-O and Geiz are confronting Another Ryuga, but all of their attacks are reflected back before the Another Rider escapes from a seemingly dead end. Back in home, Tsukuyomi that the enemy already escaped them 5 times. Sougo protests that Another Riders are getting stronger, especially Another Ryuga that seems to be invincible because he reflects all of their attacks, thus they can’t use a finisher on him. Tsukuyomi intercepts with her discovery, that Another Ryuga only attacks someone that used to follow a news site called ORE Journal. The trio then go to the city, asking about ORE Journal.
At a fishing pond, Sougo meets the ex-chief editor of ORE Journal, Daisuke Ookubo. The weary old man then namedrops Shinji Kido, his ex-reporter. Sougo and co. then visit Shinji’s apartment, just in time to find him collapsed because of carbon monoxide poisoning, with all mirrors and glasses covered.
Sougo comes back after bringing Shinji to hospital, and wondering why Shinji covers his place like that. Tsukuyomi then shows a recording from Another Ryuga’s attack, and they found out that Another Ryuga appears from inside any reflective surface, i.e a mirror. Geiz then says that the only way to defeat Another Ryuga is to force him to reflect an attack by him while the Zi-O finishes him. Of course, Geiz will be killed by this action, so Sougo refuses that idea. The next day, Sougo misses Geiz and Tsukuyomi going out. Junichiro then asks about Woz, because he can’t repair the last item he gave, that being a weird Zi-O Ridewatch, that has now upgraded into a new Ridewatch.
Geiz summons White Woz and asks him about White Woz’s future, and the herald answers that his future is a everlasting peace as if time itself has stopped. After that, Geiz pledges to defeat Another Ryuga with his original plan: sacrificing himself. This made White Woz began to act.
Meanwhile, Black Woz appears before Sougo. He says that Sougo supposedly use the new Ridewatch on the Day of Oma, but he accelerated this as his counterattack against White Woz’s plan.
At the hospital, Shinji awakes and panicking because of all of the reflective surfaces. He ran away but White Woz appears and attacks him. Geiz intercepts, saying that he won't allow him to hurt an innocent person, but Woz says that the only way to defeat Another Ryuga is to kill the real Shinji Kido. As they’re scuffling, Shinji ran and Dark Shinji appears before him, offering to exact vengeance against people that hurt him. Dark Shinji comes out from the mirror world as Another Ryuga. Woz transforms into Futuring Quiz and tries to use his question power, but Another Ryuga is not affected. Heure then appears to informs that they can’t defeat an entity inside a destroyed world, so Another Ryuga is undefeatable. Geiz doesn’t care and tries to use a finisher to Another Ryuga, that Zi-O intercepts as he can't allow Geiz to be killed. He then tries to use the new Ridewatch, but it failed to activate.
Another Ryuga escapes into a glass and Zi-O tries to capture him, but he is dragged inside the mirror world instead. There Sougo meets a mirror version of himself that mocks his ambition to become a good Demon King, and they each transform to fight as Zi-O.
Episode Tropes:
- Armor-Piercing Question: Sougo asks two to Tsukuyomi and Geiz. If they want the future that White Woz describes and what future they want. While Tsukuyomi can’t answer the first one at all, Geiz ignores the first question saying he can't trust White Woz but he’s stunned silent at the second one.
- Call-Back: Heure explains the existence of Mirror Shinji accompanied with flashbacks from Kamen Rider Ryuki: Episode Final. He also reveals that the one who told him about the Mirror World was Tsukasa, complete with flashbacks to his previous appearances in the season.
- The Cameo: The episode obviously features Shinji Kido and by extension Mirror Shinji, but it also features Daisuke Okubo, former editor-in-chief of ORE Journal.
- Can't Catch Up: With Technology Marches On, the reason why the ORE Journal went out of business was due to the rise of social media and the people who used to send them tips instead just posts them on the various social media sites.
- Change the Uncomfortable Subject: Tsukuyomi quickly changes the conversation after Sougo let those two questions above.
- Continuity Nod: When Sougo meets his mirrored self, he initially assumes it’s the same situation as his future self from the Gaim arc.
- The Corrupter: Both Wozs this episode:
- Black Woz gives Sougo the Ridewatch that will turn him into Oma Zi-O, saying as Oma Zi-O he can beat anyone, even Another Ryuga.
- White Woz again tries to make Geiz throw away his compassion by saying if he does beat Oma Zi-O, the future will be peaceful. He later tries to convince Geiz to try killing Shinji to try and make Another Ryuga fade away since Mirror Shinji’s origin would cease to exist.
- Dramatically Missing the Point: Sougo being Wrong Genre Savvy clearly mistakes the other Sougo he met inside the Mirror World for the future Sougo he met during the Gaim arc.
- Shoot the Dog: White Woz’s solution to destroying Another Ryuga is to kill Shinji, thus killing Mirror Shinji. Though Heure plainly states that won’t work, it’s never shown who is right.
