[Androzani84]

So this was the first episode I watched as it was going out on the air (as opposed to long after the fact). The reveal of Live, the TwoSiDriver’s full gimmick (which made me continue my streak of getting both the Secondary Rider belt and the episode 5 gimmick item. I just need a P-Bandai item with voice lines from one of the characters, which I’m not exactly spoiled for choice on) and the Zi-O based Brachio Genome really got me hyped to watch.

Granted, the scammer trinity proved pretty much just monster fodder for this storyline, but given the main emotional plot with Daiji, it’s forgivable.

Ikki: It’s Ikki and…

Daiji: Daiji’s

Both: Stamp Navi

Hiromi: Featuring FENIX Captain Hiromi Kadota…

Wakabayashi: Former Captain. Anyway, I’m also part of this, making sure Igarashi is back to his usual self and won’t be causing trouble.

Daiji: I assure you, Kagerou is sleeping in my body right now. He won’t be causing any more trouble with today’s Vistamp.

Brachio!

Greatest! Longest! Oldest and Strongest! Brachio! Rejoice! For the birth of the long king!

Ikki: Brachio Genome grants Revice an altogether greater kicking strength than any other Genome. Its primal power is unmatched by anything.

Daiji: That’s right, Onii-san. I think Kagerou might’ve stolen it to prevent it from being used against him by you.

George: So he simply wanted to prevent more power from amassing. Ironic, given today’s Legend.

Desire Driver: Zi-O!

Sougo: Let’s go! Henshin!

Rider Time! Kamen Rider Zi-O!

George: Kamen Rider Zi-O, Sougo Tokiwa. He started out as an ordinary high schooler, before he embarked on a quest through time to take the power of all the Heisei Riders, by defeating their Another Rider counterparts. In one future, he used the power of all Riders to become the Demon King of Time, Ohma Zi-O and conquered the world.

“The Heisei Kamen Riders have passed through this era. Now, their power gives way to a new future. Rejoice, for the birth of the new king”

Wakabayashi: ‘Demon King’? How come FENIX never heard of this?

George: Oh, he erased his own existence and separated the Riders back into their own separate universes.

Hiromi: Wait a minute, if all these Riders came from different universes, than how do we have enough data on them to make your Vistamps?

(Suddenly, a time portal opens, with Ohma Zi-O on the other side)

Ohma Zi-O: A wise man once said “Rule #3: Don’t ask unnecessary questions”. You would be wise to heed their advice in your situation.

Vice: Just a moment! If you’re from the future, can you tell us some info? Is Daiji-chan rid of Kagerou? What are the winning lottery numbers this week? Will Hiromicchi ever be cool?

Hiromi: Hey!

Ohma Zi-O: I will not say anything that could disrupt the flow of events. However, I do have this to say. Revi, Vice, Live, and Demons. You and your fellow Riders will go through hardships that seem frustrating and illogical, but you must persevere through them. Goodbye. (He then vanishes along with the portal)

Daiji: Wait a minute, did he say there’ll be more Riders helping us?

Wakabayashi: I hope not. It would make things inconvenient in development.

Hiromi: And besides, who’s going to become these Riders? Papa Igarashi? That kid from the karate class?

Ikki: Things are getting a bit long winded, so I’ll just say “We hope you enjoy the next instalment”.

Daiji: Next thing you know, Aguilera and Julio will be Riders.
