The showdown with Evolt has begun. It's time to find out if our heroes can manage to stop Evolt without Kazumi's help and save the Earth before it is too late.
Episode Tropes:
- 11th-Hour Superpower: Two examples:
- Ryuga uses the Hazard Trigger (which was reformed from its state as the white panel) in order to augment his Cross-Z Magma form to the point where he could knock Evolt around in Black Hole form, but unfortunately, Evolt reminds Ryuga that he too could level up.
- Gentoku’s Hazard Level raises to the point where he could almost stand on equal ground with Evolt’s monster form, but the power boost was short lived as Evolt easily repels Gentoku’s last Crack Up Finish.
- Bittersweet Ending: The Riders manage to establish a link to another universe’s Earth with their Earth and send Evolt into the gap to fuel the merge. However, the price they had to pay was steep: It took Kazumi’s death to complete the Castle Lost Bottle, Utsumi’s death to save Gentoku and Sawa and keep the Hammer Lost Bottle out of Evolt’s hands, Gentoku’s death in order to stun Evolt with the damaged Evol Trigger, and now Ryuga’s sacrificing his own life to drag Evolt with him into the gap to ensure that Evolt’s energy would complete the fusion of the two alternate universe Earths.
- Broken Faceplate: Evolt breaks Gentoku’s visor as Gentoku tries to do whatever he could to weaken Evolt.
- Darkest Hour: The biggest one in the series and it says a LOT! Evolt has all the 10 Lost Bottles and connects them to the Black Pandora Panel to give back his true form. He then absorbs the Moon before curb-stomping the three remaining Kamen Riders out of their transformations knowing a second time they transform would hurt or kill them. Then he performs a Black Hole Break to begin sucking up the Earth!
- Depower: Once the white panel absorbed the black panel and was set in Pandora's Box, it used up all of its power establish a link between the Build universe Earth and a different universe’s Earth that had no Sky Wall, even using up all of the power stored in Sento’s Genius Bottle and downgrading him into TankTank with its own Hazard Trigger.
- Do Not Go Gentle: Just like with Kazumi, Gentoku fought to the bitter end to try and stop Evolt as best as he could, culminating with a final Crack Up Finish before he fades away.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Even if by some miracle it was possible to win, it would be a cold day in hell before Gentoku could stop Evolt on his own, especially when Evolt was in his monster form. Unfortunately, Gentoku realizes the futility of doing that, and opts to instead try to destroy the Evol Trigger, getting his ass kicked in the process and speeding up his inevitable death. Despite dying in doing so, his assault did cause Evolt to get paralyzed for a brief moment, long enough for Sento to nail Evolt with a Genius Finish and for Sento and Ryuga to sever Evolt from the black panel.
- It's Up to You: Two examples:
- A flashback reveals that Sento told Ryuga back in #46 that no matter what happened, Ryuga had to survive to the end to ensure Evolt was defeated, no matter who dies in the process.
- As Gentoku starts dying after failing to stop Evolt with his Crack Up Finish, he entrusts the future to Sento, calling him by his new name instead of Takumi Katsuragi for the first and only time in the series.
