Now, fight.
Become Riders.
The festival has begun once again.
We're once again brought back into the Mirror World.
We can't get out of this hell.
There can only be one victor in this battle.
That is the rule.
Run. This way!
FINAL VENT
Run!
H-hey!
Where am I?
You're...
Become one with me.
If you do, you will become much stronger.
You can become the victor of this Rider battle.
Come.
Accept me.
Stay away.
Stay away!
If I'm remembering correctly, you're Shinji Kido.
And you're...
...Ron Akiyama.
It's Ren.
Oh yeah, it's Ren. Right.
Since we know each others names, that means we were somehow connected in the past.
Who knows?
We could've just been typical neighbors.
Yeah..
Anyway, thanks for saving me. I owe you one, 'kay?
Stop that.
I didn't save you because it was you.
I just want to put an end to this absurd battle.
Well that's like...
...very admirable.
Nothing like that.
I'm just following a voice.
A voice?
I hear a voice within me.
It's telling me to stop this battle.
I have no idea whose voice it is though.
I see.
I too have someone I have to see.
He's always appearing in my dreams.
This has got to be a memory of my past right?
Don't suppose you remembered anything about your past?
No...
Figures...
But I'm with you on putting an end to this battle.
Not to mention I also got my deck stolen...
You can see your loss coming, so you want to stop it, is what you're saying?
N-no, you got it all wrong!
How do I put this?
Man, I really like peace!
Yeah let's go with that.
Let's have a drink now we're in agreement.
Hey, hey! Come on!
You really clung to dear life for these?
You sure are a hostile one!
Eh? Oh!
Perhaps that means we didn't get along in the past.
That's the only thing I feel sounds correct.
Speaking of the past, there was that Takeshi Asakura.
He seems to remember everything.
Takeshi Asakura...
We were so close!
We would've killed those guys if they hadn't jumped right in the middle!
But we now have their decks.
That was awesome! They can't transform, so let's screw with 'em!
Yeah. Not a bad idea.
Hand me the pepper.
Sure.
You son of a...
Shibaura...
Don't touch me.
Kitaoka Law Firm
Day 6...40 Hours Remaining
How is it, Master?
Tastes freakin' good, but ya know...
I can't believe you'd be serving me.
Kitaoka must be rolling in his grave.
Please don't speak ill of him...
I didn't hate Kitaoka.
Japanese Law
Cause he hated me.
People with hate in them...
Them I can trust.
Someone's here.
What do we have here?
Come to have some fun with me?
N-no, that ain't it!
We've come here to stop the fight. Right?
And if you could tell us anything you remember about us.
It's tea.
I don't believe we can trust that woman.
who brought us here to this Rider Battle.
Even if someone wins...
if we can't leave the Mirror World then there'd be no point.
I'll tell you two about your past.
We've all fought and will continue to fight for all eternity.
Because...
...that's our fate.
Hey...
Yeah?
What would you if I told you...
"Die with me"?
What do you mean?
If we both made it until the end, we'd have to kill each other.
I can't bring myself to do that.
So I'd rather we both die than...
What's so funny?
No...I mean...
Isn't killing each other the ultimate feeling of our love?
Are you seriously saying that?
I'm just joking.
I don't wanna have to do that with you either.
Something wrong?
Nothing.
Y-you...
You're Kido...
I do not hold a grudge.
The rules of the Rider Battle are unavoidable.
And more importantly...
Wanna join forces again?
Well?
What are you planning?
The betrayers get betrayed.
I'm sure you've realized this.
You cannot trust Shibaura.
Is this what you call love, you traitorous bastard!
Yeah, that goes both ways.

Kido...
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Where'd they go?
Akiyama!
Kido!
Play with me...
More and more!
You just can't get Asakura to sit down for a talk.
On top of that he's super strong!
Hey! How're we gonna stop him?
Things would be a lot easier if I knew.
It's you...
I shall tell you the change of the rules.
There is no time.
The time limit is now one day.
Please hurry and fight.
Cut the crap. Who the hell are you?
You keep doing as you please.
What are you after? I'm not participating in this absurd game anymore.
As well as I.
I started this game to put an end to it.
Right now, in the real world,
a man named Tatsuya Kano is playing a game.
All by himself.
It's no use! He has the power of the Mirror Riders.
We can't beat him.
We have to do something! Anything!
He's playing a game where he gathers as many lives as he can...
To save my life.
Asuka.
You betrayed us!
You...are wounded...
It's what I deserve after all I've done...
But...I have a favor...
I won't mind if you kill me.
But...before you do.
I need to see Kido.
It all began with an accident.
I was the victim.
And the assailant was Tatsuya.
Tatsuya would be the one who visited me everyday while I was hospitalized after being badly injured.
His hospital visits soon turned into something like dates.
Soon after, I was discharged and while I was out with Tatsuya...
But y'know...
What's up? What is it?
But...
My health did not keep for long.
My injury from the accident...
ran deep and continued to bleed internally.
Sara!
Sara...
I won't let you die...
I will save you...
It was from there that Tatsuya's game of manslaughter began.
He's gathering many lives to give to me.
Can you really be saved by that?
Tatsuya is...
...the only one who believes that.
My life has but a day left.
That is the time limit.
Hey wait! We're not done talking!
Kido!
Tezuka!
Hey!
He said he wanted to see you.
We didn't make it in time.
Tezuka...
It seems like he remembered everything moments before he died.
He said this.
Just be the way you are.
What do you mean?
"The way I am?"
What does that mean...?
And also...
He also said to watch out for the other Shinji Kido.
Another...
Me?
It's you!
I'm gonna grant your wish.
With your powers and mine...
We will put an end to this absurd Rider Battle.
Come...
Become one with me.
Come, become one with me.
Come...
Become one with me...
Kido...?
Stay away.
Stay away!
Hey!
Where are you hiding?
Tezuka!
Take my love.
If you do, then you will be mine alone.
Am I right?
Kido?
Tezuka is dead.
I love you in his stead.
Transform.
Transform!
STRIKE VENT
Kido...
FINAL VENT
NEXT TIME
Next time on Rider Time: Ryuki...
When I say I can't go on and raise my hands up, I find a comeback
I've been waiting for this for a long time.
The battle is done. You have survived.
Don't give up, let's use whatever strength we have left to open new doors
Hey... Don't die!
If you don't fight, you won't survive.
Even if I my heart should give in to the pain at any moment
We will always be strong, more so than we believed.
Ready Go Now! Let's set out and head to the promised place
Do not miss reality shattering the deja vu reflected in the mirror
And as it smashes in one blow
I won't let the truth slip by me!
