Takatora discovers the existence of the Overlords,
so Ryouma and his co-conspirators decide to take him out of the picture.
Mitsuzane takes his lost Genesis Driver, transforms into Final Zangetsu,
and attacks Gaim in disguise!
Got it, move... wow...
Don't say no, just live more!
It's survival, you gotta move
When life's in a warring state
Who's got the strength to win
Now that all the locks are open?
Don't say no, just live more!
Where will you find...
Don't say no, just live more!
And how will you use...
The forbidden fruit?
The wind of the moment has its own message to share
It's blowin' stronger and stronger till it reaches you
Your dreams and future may seem so far away...
When you've got all you can out of life, that's when you can stop
But don't let life get you down
Keep your head held high
Wherever you may go
Never compromise yourself
Follow the path you believe in, and just live more!
Don't say no, just live more!

Takatora... what happened to you?
There's got to be something more to it.
You didn't get to sit and talk things through, right?
Nope.
We couldn't tell each other anything important.
I bet he's got Ryouma Sengoku filling him with lies.
Hey, wait a minute!
What are you doing here?
Isn't it obvious? I'm working. What else would I be doing?
One of my employees keeps dropping everything and running off to save the city.
So I told Mr. Bandou I'd fill in when you couldn't work, Kouta.
And I'm getting two workers for the price of one, so it works out pretty well.
Wait...
So Mai's working for free?
It's okay, Micchy.
I want to help Kouta, but this is the only thing I can do...
Kouta, go do the things only you can do.
I'm just glad I can be here for you.
I apologize for interrupting, but may I have a moment?
Where am I?
So you survived...
You are most fortunate.
Who... are you?
We are the Femushinmu.
The descendants of this world's former inhabitants.
Why did you save me?
I have some questions.
You are the leader of those who are exploring this forest?
Yes.
No...
To be precise, not anymore.
What is this device for?
Oh...?
It allows us to draw nourishment from the fruit without eating it.
Interesting. Well done.
How did you survive the forest's invasion?
I was chosen by the forest.
Chosen? By the forest?
This forest tests those who dare to brave it,
and appoints a single soul as its rightful king.
But it was all a mistake.
What?
Sid has betrayed Yggdrasill.
He destroyed the artificial crack to lock us out of Helheim.
We can assume he's looking for the Overlords by himself.
I wouldn't put such a thing past him.
Then go after him with the Lock Vehicles.
He seems to have planned this quite thoroughly.
All of Yggdrasill's Lock Vehicles have been destroyed.
Our only hope is the Lock Vehicles Sid couldn't get to...
The ones you have.
What does Sid think he's going to do alone?
The forbidden fruit, and the divine power it grants...
...can only be claimed by one person.
Didn't Sagara tell you?
Sagara?
He helped you too?
I doubt we can repair the artificial crack,
and it will take some time to manufacture more Lock Vehicles.
We can't assume that Sid won't beat us to the goal by then.
We need you to make sure that doesn't happen.
This seems awfully convenient.
Fine, but I have one condition.
Hm?
There should be someone named Takatora on your staff.
I want to see him.
Takatora is Sid's supervisor.
Your best chance is to find him.
Fine...
Come on!
It's none of my concern.
What do we do?
Just follow Ryouma Sengoku's plan?
Whether he tells us or not, we can't let Sid go.
And I want to know about Takatora.
Believing whatever you're told like you always do?
What?
It hasn't even occurred to you that this could be a trap?
For instance...
Suppose one of us was working with Sid behind the others' back?
Nah, there's no way.
You see?
He doesn't believe a word I say.
What's that, Micchy?
It's nothing.
Where do you think you're going?
I don't need your help to go after Sid.
We're after the same thing! We should work together!
Does it matter? As soon as we get into the forest, he...
...will suggest we split up to find Sid.
So, we may as well skip a step and split up now.
What's gotten into him?
I don't know.
What do you mean, there was no point in surviving?
You need only look around you for your answer.
All is in ruins, a waste.
You couldn't resist the invasion?
As we welcomed the new world,
I judged it fit for the strong alone to survive at the expense of the weak.
I believed, wrongly, that those so chosen were the most deserving.
Wrongly?
After those who believed that the weak were fit only to be hunted
ascended as rulers of the forest,
they turned on each other and began to kill one another.
Then...
Your civilization was destroyed by...
Not by the forest.
But by our own foolishness.
You all wanted power, and no one was left to stop the destruction...
So... that was your conclusion?
Heh heh...
My remaining subjects are the strongest in Femushinmu history...
and the most foolish.
They have no hope of reviving our civilization.
And what about your kind?
Is that tool there for defending the weak?
Or will it tempt the strong into sin?
It's...
Then you are just like us.
Following the same path into darkness and despair.
Let's try using this again.
If I can find an open space, it'll be easiest to hear.
You know, it would be better for us to split up...
Yeah, but I don't really want to do what Kaito says...
If anything happens, I'll call you.
Fine. Watch your back, Micchy.
Seriously, call if you need me!
Of course.
I thought you'd come.
What were you hoping for with that text?
Everyone thinks you're in Helheim.
This is a fairly good hiding spot.
So you're going to take me back to Ryouma?
What do you intend to do with this “forbidden fruit?”
Oh, come on!
You'd have to be crazy not to want the power of a god!
Honestly, I don't.
Really?
Actually, being a god sounds incredibly stressful.
I'd much rather have a god in debt to me.
Heh.
You really are a little monster...
but you're exactly what I need.
And what can you offer me to help you?
I think we've got an enemy in common.
We're both sick of him, and he won't stop making life hard for us.
Kouta Kazuraba...
He crossed a line he shouldn't have crossed.
He's... my enemy now, no more, no less.
Can you beat him?
If I pretend to be my brother and attack him, he won't put up a fight.
Assuming no one else interferes.
You mean, Kaito Kumon.
I need you to keep Kaito busy while I put Kouta down.
You can, I trust?
Piece of cake.

Why, Takatora?!
Hurry up, Kouta! Please!
That'll do, I think.

Now that I have the Genesis Driver's output, you're no match for me!
Shut up!
Takatora! Why are you doing this?!
Aren't we working towards the same goal now?!
You're far too trusting of others.
In the end, your own power is all you can rely on.
He's wrong...
It's because I've trusted in my friends...
Because they've trusted in me...
That I've been able to keep fighting all this time!

They lay out the path we must walk towards the future

Sid!
Change of plans! That Overlord's shown up here!
What?!
You've gotta be kidding me!
You'd dare turn your back on me?!
If Kazuraba defeats the Overlord, it'll all have been for nothing...
Damn you...!
Wait!
Well, aren't they curious…
What's wrong, you spineless welps?!
You fought better last time!
What should I do...?
Someone always has to disrupt my plans, right at the most critical moment...
We finally meet, Overlord!
Now, it's about time you told me where the forbidden fruit is!
You fool! Know your place!
Your kind does not deserve the fruit of knowledge.
The fruit of knowledge?
The key to surviving your doom and ascending to a higher stage of evolution.
It is given to the one hero who braves the forest, and is chosen by it.
I, too, once had the honor.
And that fruit is in this forest?
When the forest consumes a new world, it bears a single forbidden fruit.
That's what Ryouma was after?
Your kind is foolish as we were. You value power and power alone.
What...?
I will not allow the fruit of knowledge to be used for such foolishness.
Move!
Stop it!
The Overlord is my prey!
Don't be ridiculous! I found it first!
What the heck's going on here?!
Kazuraba! Deal with Sid first! Bring him down!
O-Okay!
After the break, that legendary hero appears...!?
Wait!
You little brat!
What are you doing?!
I'm not letting you die on me!
What?!
A crack!
Why here of all places?!
I see. So this is your world, is it?
We have to stop him! The city's in danger!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Gaim:

That legendary robot!?

I'm going to destroy you.
