The title sounds like it'd be a time loop with no proper conclusion, the finale event influencing the events that happen during Ace's DGP winning streak days before first episode. But it's actually a rather determinate conclusion. So it's that Dawn I marking the beginning of a world without the DGP under Suel's management, with ep. 1's Dawn F marking the finale of the previous DGP. The beginning was an end, the end was the new beginning.

The first half of the episode really teases about Ace dying, with Tsumuri and Ziin paying their respects towards him in his shrine with the petrified Boost MarkIX Buckle. Otherwise it's filled with the events in the first episode, of living without "knowing" Ace. Keiwa and Sara eating a tanuki soba, with Keiwa and Sara talking about their respective obsession, tanuki soba and Neon, but in less bitter way for Keiwa. Though the comments for NeonTV shows that it's still the ending with people being happy that she returns. Michinaga's construction work is shown again, and also with co-worker offering him to eat, but with him accepting it this time.

I guess it's just to be expected that, Black Tsumuri is the one who did the work by possessing Tsumuri, though it explains how the one shooting Ace has both traits, of Tsumuri knowing Ace and saying sorry, but also Black Tsumuri's sinister smile. After actual Tsumuri mourns for Ace, Ace appears to encourage her by telling her the usual thing that tears don't suit his big sis. This seems to be just like typical imaginery scene of Tsumuri deciding to move on at first, like Neon hugging Akari in ep. 30, but for this one, it's not like that. And of course, once again, Ace's potential stakes are negated, in how, an outright god like him won't be killed easily. Thought before his weakness is his human body, and perhaps the series are also teasing it. His human body being killed doesn't mean his spirit would be gone. Ace still lives as a spirit, to continue taking down Suel, and it's the one talking with Tsumuri.

So following the audience leaving, Suel discards his Titan Eyes, and he also discards those audience who doesn't stay with him too. Tycoon Bujin Sword and Na-Go Fantasy both at once put less of a fight compared to Geats IX before, though at least they're still making use of their full abilities with Na-Go teleporting (sorry, you can't be Odin) and summoning swords. Dunno if this is because Ace's skills can have him beat Regad unlike any other Riders, or that Regad Omega is more ready this time. Now after Reverse to Reset before, his Accelerate here is played up like Cronus' Pause, to have him move the Riders bodies for a friendly fire.

Buffa's entrance is also similar to ep. 1, breaking through a wall. So here Regad Omega beats Jamashin Buffa (along with Tycoon and Na-Go) with Reverse as well, if the Rider can't be harmed, the henshin device should be taken care of, like Cronus using Reset to erase the Hyper Muteki Gashat. Reverse only affects the power of the user (like how Reset only affects the Drivers and Bugsters), but not the user themselves, making themselves like how they're before the DGP starts. Even though they're expert combatants now, they're normal humans now. But Ace isn't like that, he's a descendant of Mitsume who has creation powers, hence though he got reverted back to human form, he'd never lose his powers as he had that since his birth, with killing him only frees his spirit from his mortal body.

Despite failing using final forms, not only Ace returning with MagnumBoost and Boostriker getting an upper hand to Regad Omega, the other 3 main Riders also can somehow put a better fight using their base form than with their final form before, granted by the spirit Ace. Despite that anyone that uses base form will take an L in 2nd half of the series. Unfortunately BeatFantasy can't happen, as Fantasy was erased. Though the choreography is really good as usual here with the 3 getting upper hand with teamwork like Tycoon activating Buffa's poison charge and Na-Go buffing the other 2 with Tactical Fire. One thing missed would be Ninja's flashy showings in its debut. Albeit after all, it seems that they're unable to finish off Regad Omega for good, after pulling off multiple finishers to him, like the core trio to Glare, and Tycoon to Premium Kekera before, just wearing them down, as the one who finished the job is Geats IX.

Suel's face is never revealed, with his mask breaking only to reveal Ace. Suel got a taste of what he did to Tsumuri via Black Tsumuri's possession by Ace possessing him and destroying him from inside out. And Suel having vast powers is also never explained, with him still using Regad Omega's powers to defeat Jamashin Buffa. Ace's godly powers (fueled by others) once again solve the huge-stakes problem easily without rushing (after Keiwa's world), by remaking a world without any traces of DGP, erasing all of its admins including Girori. Though Samas got perhaps satisfying downfall of her approaching death with her unable to do anything about it with the gate closed, yeah Samas is overall wasted, and perhaps rather than creating a new character, Samas can take Zitt's place as the new producer (after Niramu) that opposes Ace, including fighting lol.

Honestly, as this is the final, there are things that disappoint me, the other 3 main Riders' dialogues throughout the fight are just extensions of Ace's will, rather than highlighting their distinct characters (even for wanting to create a happy world). And after Ace remakes the world, there are no further interactions from them, with them going off in their respective lives and leaving a wish around Ace's shrine, of which Ziin plans to start a DGP to help grant those wishes, but without the negative effects it brought under Suel's management and offering Tsumuri a job for it. This'd sound like Christmas with the DGP acting like Santa Claus. I know there are endings like this such as Kabuto, but still on the last fight before...

Dunno what happens to the DGP victims now, including the killed Riders or Tree of Knowledge, would they got reverted back in a world without traces of DGP? (though there are no Toru in Michinaga's circle). If the Tree is reverted, then Daichi is ok with losing that and is now content in raising the Jamatos? It do be ironic that the ones who initially treated the Jamato worse than Archimedel, is the one who'd want a co-existence between them and humans, rather than replacing humans with it. But that means Daichi seems to be actually reformed smh... Michinaga's wish is eating meat... that was already offered to you by Chirami before! Neon's final couple seems to be with Kyuun instead, not yet but he's the one who'd accompany her as a producer. Keiwa now channels Arata Kagami by trying to become a police at the end. I thought it should be what's already on his mind since the start tbh, but his Rider experiences in DGP will for sure help.
