Episode 10: Rider Great Assembly! Revealing the Mystery of the Forest!

Written by: Gen Urobuchi/Gun Snark (almost similar name!), Directed by: Shojiro Nakazawa

Kouta had new idea about Yuuya's whereabouts being likely known by Yggdrasill researchers as they heavily explore the Helheim Forest, but laments about how Zangetsu will keep blocking him, and gets interrupted by how he needs to be at work. So for here Kouta finally got a part time job which is, for this to be a Christmas episode, him dressing as Santa and giving flyers. Then he sees 2 Inves attacking a woman, and he rushes in to help her, utilizing his acrobatic to get through many obstacles in his way like bars and an open car, and does a good amount of fighting in human form before he henshins into Gaim, fending off 2 Inves from both sides with both weapons (Daidaimaru and Musou Saber) and killing both with Orange Charge, rated as 10000 (though the attack is only regular slash, but with orange theme trails). He observes that the Inves appears in a crowded place, and plans to do something with it.

Kouta and Micchy discusses about talking with the researchers to get quick answers, but laments about Zangetsu. Micchy proposes an idea, and they leave as Team Gaim comes to decorate their place for Christmas. Micchy's proporsal is a new type of game, which is Armored Riders of each teams collecting Lockseeds, the one that collects the most wins, but only 1 Armored Riders can participate, leaving Kouta out, which is enough to draw Kaito in. Then there's Ryoji and Jonouchi trying to earn by dressing as reindeers to replace their Lockseeds, with them getting teased by a parent whose child is curious. At least the reindeer costume will conceal their identities if the earning is successful to raise their rank. They got a call about the new game Micchy pruposed. Micchy asks for Lock Vehicles for Ryoji and Jonouchi to Sid so that they can participate, and convinces Sid by offering to give all the Lockseeds they find to Sid, which Sid would use the Lock Vehicles as Christmas present.

The real motivation of the game is revealed as Mai questions both to create a game without the team's consent, as the game is actually meant to figure out the portals more, and investigate Yuuya further. It's also revealed Sid's hidden agenda of giving the Lock Vehicles, as Ryoma questions their project's secrecy, Sid plans to let Takatora get into trouble, so that he'll likely listen to other people more. Micchy details over the plan that, predicting that Yggdrasill will have a base on the forest, and that the Armored Riders will draw away Zangetsu while Kouta goes into the base. Kouta is uncomfortable at the idea of using Micchy as a bait, and although there are 4 Armored Riders, Kouta still reminds that Zangetsu knows the Rider's powers and is trained as well, showing his concern over a potential of sacrifice in this plan. Micchy tries to ask his brother for more info, but Takatora is being secretive of claiming he doesn't know the Inves attack on town, and reaffirms Yggdrasill's motivations of improving the town.

As the game is going to be started, Oren joins in, while jumping from heights unharmed. Micchy reluctantly allows him to join as Oren reveals to possess a Lock Vehicle. Although Oren henshins into Bravo, there's an extended fighting scene for the Beat Riders in human form, like Kouta at the beginning of this episode, albeit still with a complete contrast in Jonouchi flails his fist at the monster. After the Beat Riders henshin, Gridon had a plan to disrupt Team Gaim, by throwing a Lockseed for one of the Inves to eat, turning it into an Advanced Inves to keep Ryugen busy, earning Gridon a praise for being smart from Kurokage. Gridon and Kurokage leaves, while Ryugen is busy fighting monsters, using new Kiwi Arms. But as it's not a part of the game, Kouta can join in to help him, offering to fight the Inves in his place as Ryugen heads to the Helheim Forest. Gaim uses Suika Arms to beat those monsters. The plan seemingly works as Takatora is annoyed at the Armored Riders messing around in Helheim Forest, and henshins to Zangetsu to head there, and showing a glimpse of Yggdrasill heqdquarters, seemingly the only place to have a permanent portal to Helheim Forest.
