Oh dang, you guys are almost done? Ohh. I missed a lot.
It's the reset ending! I definitely liked the part too when Sougo's uncle managed to somehow repair all the watches. It's so touching.

So, technically Sougo separated the worlds and undid all the time mishaps caused by the Another Riders and the Time Jackers, that most likely mean things like Kenzaki and Hajime losing their undead attributes did not happen. Or maybe not, I don't know, but Sougo puts everything back the way it was to enable everyone to move forward to the future much smoother, with everyone able to live relatively peaceful lives. All at the cost of his own memories and powers, giving up the kingship dream.

Except that's not exactly it. I like that the despite Sougo's act, he's still one day destined as the king of time, Ohma ZI-O is an inevitablity.

Onto Ohma ZI-O, I'm not exactly sure where it was said, but apparently back in episode 1, when Ohma ZI-O erased the people from a wave of a hand, he didn't actually kill them? He sent them somewhere safe, it just looked like they were killed. I don't know if this is real, something Shirakura said, I could've sworn I read it somewhere. Maybe it's a retcon, but I'll take it since it's this reframing of Ohma ZI-O as this tragic king who took on all the world's evil at a terrible cost and only wish for people to remember the Heisei Riders that came before him.

Back to the finale, /Our/Sougo was Ohma ZI-O was splendid. Something about this form's re-debut reminded me of Kuuga Ultimate somewhat. A black/gold red-eyed form appears before the final villain, with a transformation process so shockingly simple. Granted a giant lava timey-wimey thing appears below Sougo, but the transformation just him pressing the sides of the belt reminds me kinda of Kuuga Ultimate.

Could the ending have been better, mmm yeah? But I still had fun with this, since it still culminated in the stuff I wanted to see. A reset ending and Sougo making use of Ohma ZI-O.
