Liked the episode, and the twist, as well as the callback to Faiz episode 1's car accident too.

Solid good episode overall. Also liked how the Time Jackers are getting more fleshed out, and found it interesting that in a way the Another Faiz carried Takumi's orphenoch aspects too on draining life. Though was inverted as Time Jackers do to make it grant that life energy to another. And how that carried over in the zodiac aspect to Fourze which makes sense.

From the next time clip, seems they are about to speed up show pace and development too, and we're getting more on why Sougo became Oma Zi-O and how Geiz and Tsukuyomi are key pieces of that, and also maybe how that may change. Show seems to be picking up on development and it was nice to see Geiz get some character focus. Speaking of, it kind of makes sense why he has the Ghost ride watch too. In connotation of series abilities, them dealing with a rider that can't be seen would be pretty impossible. So that skip ahead rather made sense, and would make for an interesting flashback or side story later too.

Also with how far back Faiz's erasure was, it explains why his movie events aren't in play, since as of right now they've been erased from the timeline as if his show never existed. Though is curious how he still has the belt, but seemingly no power in it, and no memory of how it's supposed to work.

Really liked how they managed to tie everything together. Made many things more obvious, but also still assumed the audience was smart and didn't bother with heavy exposition on other things.

And I take that back about quilt work over a solid thread. Because of how timelines are erased into the riders never existing, it makes the quilt work become one solid straight line thread. So everything can exist in one world because none of their material existed. Which is why various monsters that'd cause a chaotic world don't exist since the rider ceased to exist. At least from what we saw last week with the monster disappearing when Fourze did, and this week with how it's implied the Oprhenoch disappeared when Faiz did. Which we can assume Mari survived since Kusaka and Takumi still became friends through their connection through her. Because of her history at the Ryuusei school too. Though now I want to see that story in how Takumi and Mari became friends, since this changes the entire aspect of her accidentally stealing his bag. Or at least how the aftermath of that played out instead of an Orphenoch fight. Unless the erasure only takes effect at the point of another rider creation so that part is still intact only without orphenochs and a working belt.
