** Not only that, Kaito is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness noticeably disturbed]] as well. Is it because he's shocked Tsukasa's actually going through it? [[FridgeHorror Or perhaps that since he's accompanied Tsukasa in the past, he ''knows'' what it looks like already?]]

** The people who became Another Riders are average people who get to live the dream so many of us have. To be given the power of a Rider. However they prove unable to contain it, and become a twisted monster version instead. The dream becoming a nightmare. Now imagine if this happened to you. Not to mention how they're recruited (or at least, how ''one'' of the generals recruits you, if they have different methods.) Imagine you're facing ''certain death,'' such as a car speeding towards you, TooFastToStop. Then everything stops, and you're given AnOfferYouCantRefuse by the perfectly-human-looking figure who hit the pause button: history says you died right now, but you'll be saved if only you accept the contract. You're given no details beyond that: it's either take the strange watch-thing being handed to you or you've got about half a second of life left. So you do. Then you're told you're going to be a Rider!

* As it turns out Tsukusa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade was also on the bus which only questions why he didn't stop the bus crash. [[spoiler: He couldn't, thanks to Swartz.]]

* It turns out Swartz was also in the bus, but the true question is why and how? [[spoiler: The answer is he's started the entire mess by causing the bus crash that orphaned Sougo and Hiryuu, framed Tsukasa for the incident, and even back in 2000 was trying to find the best candidate to be his overlord.]]

* As it turns out Tsukusa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade was also on the bus which only questions why he didn't stop the bus crash and if he is in some way related....

* It turns out Swartz was also in the bus, but the true question is why and how?

* The fate of the adults on the bus; as Swartz froze them in time, they are [[AndIMustScream either unable to do anything as they went to their deaths]], or if their minds were frozen as well, completely unaware of their own fate. Perhaps even more disturbing, Tsukasa is [[DissonantSerenity practically emotionless]] ''as all of this is happening''.
* Hiryu can turn people into Another Riders by pushing Another Ridewatches into them. At this point he is as terrifying, or maybe more than, as a Time Jacker.
* Geiz getting hurt by the sheer power and speed of Geiz Revive, bleeding out of his nose and ear.
* Geiz himself continues to be disturbing this episode with his drive to kill Sougo at any cost, even ignoring Hiryu to chase after Sougo.

* Keep in mind all of the above occurred happened when Sougo ''just'' unlocked the powers of Oma Zi-O. This makes the 2068 incarnation all the more terrifying in hindsight due to that version having [[StrongAndSkilled FIFTY YEARS]] to hone and master all of this ludicrous power beyond what this Sougo is capable of. This makes Geiz's decision to go back in time to kill Oma Zi-O all the more understandable and downright ''sensible'': his power has reached the point that '''''[[GodzillaThreshold there was no other choice left anymore.]]'''''

-->'''Oma Zi-O Driver''': ''Shukufuku no Toki! Saikou! Saizen! Saidai! Saikyou-ou!''[[note]]The hallowed hour! The greatest! Most righteous! Most august! Most powerful! King of all that is![[/note]] '''''OMA ZI-O'''''!

'''Sougo:''' Woz. ''Rejoice.''\\
'''Woz''': Huh?\\

* And his finisher, Ohma Time King Finishing Strike. Not only is it announced with the same deep voice, it's also accompanied by the [[ForDoomTheBellTolls ominous chiming of church bells in the background]], as though it were sounding the death knell for Swartz.

* The way Drive's eyes glow after Ohma [=Zi-O=] takes control of the summoned Rider to fight Grand [=Zi-O=] is creepy to say the least. Drive's Tridoron noises were corrupted to underscore the seriousness of the situation greatly.

[[caption-width-right:350:Iwae. [[OhCrap The Demon King's coronation has finally begun]].]]

* Woz is so shocked by Sougo's transformation into Ohma Zi-O that forgets his ascension speech and until he is forced to say it and even then it takes him a moment to catch on.

* Sougo's transformation into Oma Zi-O. ''Sweet merciful of Iwae, is it both incredibly awesome and terrifying all at the same time''! Instead of just pushing the button and then spinning it, all Sougo has to do is just adopt his pose, touch the sides of the driver, which echo like a bell being struck, giving off the impression of a death knell to anyone that hears it. Scarier still, the ground ''literally'' breaks apart and is filled with magma, almost like a portal to hell just opened. And that's to say nothing of the announcement his Ziku-Driver, now turned into Oma Zi-O Driver makes. Before, the Ziku-Driver would sing some catchy tune. The Oma Zi-O Driver has none of that, with the voice becoming deep and menacing, not to mention angrily saying "Oma Zi-O" as if reflecting just how utterly pissed Sougo is at this moment. Overall, the transformation into Oma Zi-O is less awesome and awe-inspiring and more terrifying and showcasing that Sougo Tokiwa is no longer an IdiotHero. At this moment, he is the Demon King of Time. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Congratulation, Swartz]].

* Sougo's transformation into Oma Zi-O. ''Sweet merciful of Iwae, is it both incredibly awesome and terrifying all at the same time''! Instead of just pushing the button and then spinning it, all Sougo has to do is just adopt his pose, then ''forces'' the transformation to happen. Scarier still, the ground ''literally'' breaks apart and is filled with magma, almost like a portal to hell just opened. And that's to say nothing of the announcement his Ziku-Driver, now turned into Oma Zi-O Driver makes. Before, the Ziku-Driver would sing some catchy tune.

'''Sougo:''' Woz, "rejoice".\\

'''Sougo:''' I'm telling you to say "rejoice", aren't you?

** Particularly noteworthy were Gamedeus, Evolt, and Daguva, all of whom were notable in being ridiculously hard to kill. And Oma Zi-O just effortlessly sends them flying and exploding as if they were nothing.
*** Gamedeus was supposed to be beaten by the equally broken Kamen Rider Cronus, and it took the equally invincible Hyper Muteki Ex-Aid to put him in his place. When Gamedeus attempts to attack Oma Zi-O, the Demon King reacts by confine him into a golden sphere, then flings the Bugster away before he explodes into bits.

* Geiz officially kicks the bucket and dies in Sougo's arms. The end result is Sougo, consumed by anger and grief, turning the Ziku-Driver ''gold''. Ladies and gentlemen, '''the Demon King of Time's coronation has officially started'''.

* Sougo's transformation into Oma Zi-O. ''Sweet merciful of Iwae, is it both incredibly awesome and terrifying all at the same time''! Instead of just pushing the button and then spinning it, all Sougo has to do is just adopt his pose, then ''forces'' the transformation to happen. Scarier still, the ground ''literally'' breaks apart and is filled with magma, almost like the transformation sequence is burning the ground up. And that's to say nothing of the announcement his Ziku-Driver makes. Before, it would sing some catchy tune.

*** Gamedeus was supposed to be beaten by the equally broken Kamen Rider Cronus, and it took the equally invincible Hyper Muteki Ex-Aid to put him in his place.
*** Evolt always managed to split off a piece of himself to ensure that he'd survive one way or another. And he was always just getting stronger. Granted, he wasn't summoned in Black Hole or his true form, but even his Cobra form was no pushover for Build Genius, and he seems to be able to use his Black Hole powers anyway.
