Are you hurt?
Hey, Micchy.
Nah, I'm fine.
Good.
Oh crap, I have an interview!
What?
You okay?!
Interviewwww!
Who do they think they are?
I bet it was all a show.
They're trying to play heroes.
But all these Inves are the Beat Riders' fault anyway.
Kouta, why are you still fighting?
Where's this coming from?
Everyone thinks the Beat Riders are the bad guys.
No one's going to thank you or reward you for saving them.
What's the point in fighting for them?
I'm not doing this for the reward.
I'm fighting because I have to.
That's it.
But you don't have to take all these risks yourself, Kouta.
Look, I can't just sit by if I have the power to fight.
And hey, Micchy...
You little!
Wait, hold on!
With all your whining, you're still there fighting with me!
I just want all of you to be happy, okay?
Take this!
Ow!
7 months since the destruction of Helheim
Kouta...
Mitsuzane...
How... have you been doing?
I'm all right.
And you, brother?
You're always so busy.
That's true.
The threat of Helheim may be at an end...
but the world is still in chaos.
I have an obligation to do all I can to help it recover.
...not that I think that can ever atone for what I've done.
Brother...
In a couple of days, I'm going to America.
I'm sure it won't be easy for you.
I'll be fine.
Don't worry about me.
I'm done.
Micchy!
Do you want to dance with us again?
I'm sorry.
Okay...
You think Micchy still feels guilty?
Don't waste your breath.
Just leave him.
Peko...
I can't just forget what he did...
No...
I don't think he can forget either.
Let's leave him alone for now.
I hope Micchy's okay...
I never really understood Mitsuzane at all.
I failed him as a brother.
Hey, I never knew everything about Kouta either.
Brothers are just like that.
I owe him an indescribable debt.
I think Kouta just figured out what he had to do.
It's best this way.
Oh dear me.
I may just get jealous, my dear melon!
Here, a special treat for our most special customers.
Amazing!
It's our newest creation. We're quite proud of it.
It's delicious!
You've outdone yourself.
Oh non, non!
Merci.
I'm most glad you're enjoying...
NEVER GIVE UP
...my work.
Ow!
Eep!
What the–?!
Impossible!
An Inves?
What the heck is...
It's been a long time.
A Lock Seed?
DARKNESS ARMS
Transform.
THE GOLDEN FRUIT
Wha...
You forgot about me already?
It's me! Kougane!
I struggled long and hard to regain this much of my power!
Kougane?
Who?
That's right.
That was just a dream to you.
But I remember my disgrace well, and I will not let it stand!
Pitiful.
Utterly pathetic.
It's time to begin the hunt!
What's the matter, Armored Riders?
Why won't you transform?
Our... our belts...
Who is this man?
You guys!
What are you playing at?
Why are you doing this?
Revenge. What else?
There'll be no rest for you yet.
Not before you witness the destruction of all you've fought to protect.
Die like the Femushinmu, apes.
How could this...
Who is that Armored Rider?
He doesn't seem to be human.
He knew what happened to the Femushinmu.
He's not another Overlord, is he?
That's not good. If he is an Overlord, we'll need Sengoku Drivers to fight him.
But we don't have any belts left.
We have no way to...
Yggdrasill had all those black Riders, right?
Can't we use their belts?
The Kurokage Troopers' Drivers were disposed of along with their Lock Seeds.
Why?
So that another Yggdrasill could never again use them for evil.
With Helheim dealt with, we thought we'd never need Sengoku Drivers again.
And then this happens...
We could create new Drivers from Ryouma's old blueprints,
but we'd have no way of getting Lock Seeds.
So you want us to just sit and watch?
Totally called it.
That's one of the Kurokage Troopers' Drivers, right?
I knew you'd still have one.
How could you tell?
Well, I am a tactician.
But I knew you'd have contingencies. You're always thorough to the last.
Please... let me have it.
I'm going to fight him.
I can't let you kids get dragged into this again.
I have to atone for what I did.
But your wound still hasn't healed, right?
You can't fight him...
Hey, umm...
Do you know of a Hase...
Yes.
Ryouji Hase became an Inves, and was brought down by Yggdrasill.
What happened to Hassy...
...was my fault...
So please...
I need this to atone too.
You won't get away with this anymore!
Transform!
PINECONE
Hassy!
LOCK ON
PINECONE ARMS
STRIKE IN THE SHADOWS
Little more than vermin.
What's wrong? Done already?
Shut up!
This is nothing compared to my hellish pâtissier training!
Very well.
Transform.
DARKNESS ARMS
THE GOLDEN FRUIT
I can't lose now...
And now, you have no means of fighting back against me!
We do.
You...
Mitsuzane Kureshima!
There's still one Lock Seed left.
Kouta Kazuraba may have stood a chance, but you?!
You are powerless to stop me!
Kouta was a hero, you're right.
But Kouta's not here anymore...
So we have to be the heroes in his stead!
Transform!
GRAPE
LOCK ON
GRAPE ARMS
DRAGON, FIRE! BANG, BANG, BANG!
You're the amusing one.
Watch over me, Kouta...
This time, I'll protect everyone...!
What futile resistance.
Begone!
GRAPE SQUASH
What?!
It's over.
Is it, now?
This body is a human's.
What?!
I'm merely possessing the little brat's body for my own ends.
Put down your weapon, and cancel your transformation.
Foolish boy.
Your death will be nice and slow.
But don't worry.
I'll be sending your friends to join you soon.
I'm sorry, Kouta...
I couldn't achieve anything after all...
That's not true, Micchy.
You've fought so hard...
Kouta.
I guess I left one loose end hanging.
And that's putting an end to you, Kougane.
You... dare...
Damn you! Damn you, damn you!
I'll destroy you!
Can you fight, Micchy?
Let's defeat him together.
Right, Kouta!
GRAPE
LOCK ON
Transform!
Transform.
GRAPE ARMS
DRAGON, FIRE! BANG, BANG, BANG!
This is our stage now!
After the break, Gaim and Ryugen's last battle!
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?
Where will you find...
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!
I am the embodiment of the golden fruit itself!
Don't say no, just live more!
Live like you're always taking the stage
You cannot defeat me!
You gotta keep winning or get pushed to the edge
DARKNESS SQUASH
The war will never end
Until only one remains standing
Will you spurn...
Like I said before.
Or will you pluck...
There's no real gold in you.
The forbidden fruit?
Come on, Micchy!
The sky of the moment has its own view to see
Right!
The sun's burnin' red, getting hotter and hotter
ZENITH SQUASH
GRAPE SQUASH
What will you use your strength to prove?
DARKNESS AU LAIT
Only you can answer the question, will you destroy or protect?
When there are no trails
Where no one's been before
For you to follow
At the end of the world
Follow the path you believe in, and just live more!
Just live more!
Kouta...
I think you're gonna do fine without us.
I told you, didn't I?
You can live a new life now.
Okay.
Wait, don't go!
There's so much I want to tell you...
Try and get along with Takatora.
And tell my sis I'm doing fine.
Kouta...
We'll always be friends, Micchy.
Micchy!
Hey, Micchy!
Micchy!
Guys!
Whoa!
Cool!
Awesome...
Wasn't this place just an empty lot?
Look at this thing!
It just appeared out of nowhere!
Sis, sis!
What is that tree?
That's the guardian tree from the shrine's forest.
Whoa...
Come on, let's start practicing!
Five, six, seven, eight!
That's it, good!
See, Kaito?
Everyone's moved on, and they're looking forward.
There's still a future for humanity.
They'll repeat their mistakes soon enough.
They'll wage war and cause each other pain.
Of course.
And then they'll get back up and find a new path again...
Moving on step by step, as they learn from their mistakes...
You really are strong.
Goodbye, Kaito.
So long, Kaito Kumon.
Mai... we need to face our own future.
Yeah.
Let's go, Kouta.
Thank you for supporting the show over the past year.
