Seven years later, ZECT tries to use an approaching comet to replenish Earth's oceans... or so they say. In actuality, ZECT is going to use the incoming comet to release more Worms on Earth to wipe out humankind because... survival of the fittest. Opposing them is Neo-ZECT, an organization that split off from ZECT because... wind. Tendou works for both sides, depending on his mood, and has the Kabuto Zecter all along, his ultimate goal being to obtain the Hyper Zecter, which is in the possession of Kamen Rider Caucasus. However, after learning of ZECT's plan, he goes into space to stop them, along with Kamen Rider Gattack. After a battle in space, Tendou obtains the Hyper Zecter from Caucasus, and uses Hyper Clock Up to take the comet into the past, causing it to crash with the Shibuya meteor, reducing its size so that the oceans still remain. However, a younger Tendou still gets trapped under some rubble, so the future Tendou (whose timeline has now been erased) descends down to his younger self and gives him his Rider Belt, which gives the younger Tendou the strength to get out of the rubble and save Hiyori, his sister, as Tendou vanishes from the space-time continuum, which resets to allow the events of the show to occur. This is where the paradox arises. By taking the comet back in time and causing it to impact with the Shibuya meteor erases Tendou's timeline, meaning he would be unable to save himself from the rubble and give himself the Rider Belt, because he wouldn't exist, as he is from a timeline where the larger meteor impacts Earth. Because that Tendou doesn't exist, he cannot take the comet back in time to impact with the Shibuya meteor, meaning the larger Shibuya meteor impacts Earth, and the God Speed Love timeline would be restored, meaning Tendou would go back in time and cause the comet to impact with the Shibuya meteor and save himself from the rubble, erasing his existence and preventing himself from performing those actions, causing the paradox to kick in once again. Given the fact that we have no records/confirmations of what would happen to the universe in the event of a time paradox, it is safe to assume that the timeline would change itself to allow for the continued existence of a universe/multiverse.

However, in the show, Tendou receives the Rider Belt from the Worm that killed his father. This could be a change the universe underwent to ensure its existence... or it's just ignorance of the movie.
