Wow, Ace's youth would make even Amatsu Gai envious! However, living for such a long time and spending most of it fighting a neverending battle against both the Jyamato and the DGP system sounds like a heavy burden for one man to bear alone.

I have a theory about our missing Miss Ukiyo. Maybe she was once a Kamen Rider who succeeded in becoming a God of Desire, but her desire was to erase an event from memory for some reason, including herself as a side effect, a memory that Ace is trying to revive.

The Ninja Raise Buckle makes sense as the solution for defeating the last boss, as the combo of stealth, speed and defense is useful for approaching the can unexpectedly and kicking it. The way of obtaining it might even be a reference to Kamen Rider Shinobi, as Geats acted as a "shadow to protect the weak" by completing the level's secret mission, albeit only by letting the "weak" Tycoon endanger himself first using the same deception from Episode 2.

I think the DGP has the power to abort the end of the world as a last resort if there's no God of Desire to create a new one, but at the cost of the world and lives lost inside the Jyamar Area and leaving the last boss alive to return at a later date.

They have the same fashion sense anyway. Not sure about her character yet though.

I found it interesting that even though Ace wished to be a "star among stars among stars" it seems that Neon still attracts more attention. Is this related to the limitations of desire he mentioned earlier? If so, then if Michinaga wins, all current riders will disappear, but nothing will stop DGP from recruiting new ones. And if win Keiwa, the current wars will stop, but, again, new ones will break out later.

Well, people still have free will and personal preferences, so even though Ace became the most famous man on the planet, there can still be people who for their own reasons don't like him, or people such as Sara who simply love Neon more. Kanato especially hates famous rich people like those two due to his prejudice against them.

Michinaga's desire was to gain the power to crush all Kamen Riders, so he probably wants to deal with them personally rather than let the DGP erase them. Even if they recruit new Riders, I imagine he'll just rejoin using his God of Desire privileges to crush those as well.

Keiwa's desire would cause humanity to become stagnant without adversity to spur them in to action, while leaving the Jyamato who aren't part of the world and therefore exempt from world peace to continue their rampages against a world unprepared for any kind of violence. Alternatively, the end of desire and free will, but I doubt the DGP would accept that.
