I will crush you with my...oops, wrong show.

Written By: Kento Shimoyama
Directed By: Kyohei Yamaguchi

Black Woz: As it is written in this book, average high schooler Sougo Tokiwa embarks on a path which leads him to become the overlord of time, Oma Zi-O.
He meets Shinji Kido, and defeats Another Ryuga, an alternate version of Kamen Rider Ryuki.
And to do so, he has evolved to become Kamen Rider Zi-O II, Seer of the future.
Naturally, my other self, White Woz, is not too keen on this development.
He seeks another future where Geiz goes on to become Geiz Revive.

Sougo is at risk of being unable to graduate unless he passes his final examination! Sougo starts to focus and study hard but he dozes off and starts to dream again. In this dream he sees a future where humans and machines confront each other, as well as Kamen Rider Kikai!


Episode Tropes

  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: In the future Rento comes from, the Earth is mostly conquered by mechanical beings called Humanoise that look human and are murderous towards humans.
  • Death Glare: Ora watches Swartz from afar with a mix of horror and seething hate after he turns Heure in Another Kikai.
  • Dreaming of Things to Come: Sougo keeps peering into the year 2121 after falling asleep trying to study for his math re-retake exam.
  • Faceā€“Heel Turn: Tsukuyomi turns to White Woz for help since she thinks Sougo's ascension to Oma Zi-O needs to be quashed as soon as possible.
  • Foreshadowing: Rento seems to know Sougo instantly when they first meet. This hints that Kikai's timeline was created unknowingly by Sougo's power.
  • From a Single Cell: So long as the beetle ornament of Another Kikai can survive, it can possess another organism to reform itself whether that organism is a tree or another person like Heure.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: Rento's attempt to recharge himself using the satellite goes south when the laser instead reprograms him to be murderous towards Sougo and the children.
  • Kick the Dog: Swartz uses Heure as a host for Another Kikai to try to stabilize the Another Rider's powers long enough to make a Ridewatch out of it.
  • Skewed Priorities: When Sougo tried hard to study for the third time, Geiz tried to force Sougo to fall sleep again to find out more about Another Kikai.
  • Wham Shot: Swartz shows how much of a monster he can be by taking Another Kikai's face and pushing it onto Heure's face.

Black Woz: And thus, my overlord began to walk a lonely road.
But there is no need to worry, my overlord...
For that loneliness will be what spurs you on to greater heights, and even greater power.
