As it is written in this book, in September of 2018, average high schooler Tokiwa Sougo
embarks on a path which leads him to become the overlord of time, Oma Zi-O.
In order to investigate a series of disappearances, he infiltrates Amanogawa High School,
where he procures the power of Kamen Rider Fourze.
However, there was another Kamen Rider lurking within...
FAIZ!
FOURZE!
GATLING ON
GHOST!
ARMOR TIME!
EYES OPEN! GHOST!
Did he just turn back...?
The legacy of the Heisei Kamen Riders has carried on throughout the era.
And now they pass their power on to the next generation!
Rejoice, for the birth of a new king!
Gonna grab it in a second, so are you ready?
It's a brand new history, can you feel it feel it?
Making our bonds the guiding light
Now it's time to shout it out, shout it out!
And move forward through the present
No matter how often you feel lost
Make sure you knock on future's door
Once you've got your sights on what's beyond
Just jump in and believe in yourself!
Now Over Quartzer!
We'll slip through the raindrops of time, together
You Over Quartzer!
Go beyond the future!
The lessons of the past can't be clouded by lies
Now feel the Nexus future
Now Over Quartzer!
A brighter world is coming
Take me there!
Inui, what the hell do you think you're doing?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm here to stop you!
Wait a minute!
Karin...?
Lost her...
Kusaka!
Inui, this has nothing to do with you!
Who are you?
Tokiwa Sougo, sir...
Myokoin Geiz.
I see.
Well, sit down.
Who are you, exactly?
Dry Cleaners Kikuchi Inui Takumi
Inui Takumi.
I run a dry cleaners in Nagashi.
My dream is to get the whole world's laundry looking clean and new.
Yamabuki Karin was being attacked by someone else, besides the Another Rider.
This man saved her.
So what did he want with her?
Was he working with the Another Rider... er, the monster?
No idea.
Too hot...
What about you two?
I think there's a good possibility that thing has the power of two different Riders.
Which means...
This didn't start in 2011... but even earlier?
We'll have to start from scratch.
Alright, I'll head back to Amanogawa High School.
I'm coming with you.
I'm Tokiwa Sougo, me and...
Inui Takumi.
Yeah, we're here to protect you.
Why would you do that?
You don't even know me.
I want to be a king someday!
And a king is supposed to protect his people, they don't need a reason.
That makes no sense...
This is the girl who went missing in 2010...
So the disappearances must date even further back.
This is from 2006.
Wait...
Yamabuki Karin...?
She looks exactly the same!
What's going on here...?
If she still looks the same after so many years...
Is she a Time Jacker?
Something isn't right.
What's that?
It's just, it's been four hours since we started watching her...
But she hasn't gone to the bathroom even—
Would you give it a rest?!
I'm sorry.
Leave me alone.
Sorry...
Hey, wait a sec!
Excuse me...
Huh? You're...
There've been new developments.
The 18 year old Libra girl is in trouble.
You're just gonna tell him all that?
Well, these new developments sound like a lot of trouble!
Good thing I'm here to help!
Well, she's the only one at school who fits the profile...
She is?
No, there should be two.
When we looked yesterday there was only one...
In one of my third-year classes there's a girl.
Her birthday is today.
So, as of today, she's an 18 year old Libra.
Sound right?
Look at this.
Yamabuki Karin...
High School Student's Remains Stolen After Fatal Car Accident? Victim Linked to Series of Mysterious Incidents
She's already dead?!
She died in a car accident on October 25th, 2003.
The next day, her body went missing.
At the same time, two of her classmates went missing.
What does any of this mean?!
I'm back!
Welcome back.
Oh, Geiz, Tsukuyomi, look here.
Is this baby old or what?
Indeed!
You're able to repair something so old?
Well, I can...
But it's really just swapping out parts.
Is there anything wrong with that?
If I use modern reproduction parts, it might sound a little better, or last a little longer.
But then...
Can you even call it the same radio anymore?
What do you mean?
Well, on the outside it might look like the same radio.
But what's inside, the sound it makes, it's all different.
It's working, but not by natural means.
I wouldn't know which era it really belonged to.
It makes you think...
Well, those are just the ramblings of a tinkerer...
Working by unnatural means...
That's it...
Yamabuki Karin hasn't changed because something's keeping her alive...
She shouldn't have survived that fall unscathed.
She was caught by the Another Rider.
And she wasn't trying to protect us, she was protecting the Another Rider.
Run!
Hurry!
The Another Rider targets female students
and uses some kind of power to keep Yamabuki Karin alive.
Since 2003, for 15 years...
Yes?
We know what the Another Rider wants.
Happy birthday!
Yay!
Congratulations!
Thank you! This is so great, seriously!
What's that...?
Stop it, Sakuma!
You need to run.
Karin...
This won't accomplish anything!
Stop hurting other people for my sake!
She's right, Sakuma.
I'm going to put an end to this obsession of yours.
That's enough!
What's with this monster?!
Inui, why...?!
I really hate you sometimes, Kusaka.
But even if that's true, you're still my friend!
As much as it hurts to admit...
Stay out of this!
This is all for Karin's sake...
Sougo.
Yeah?
I've had this for a while...
I think it belongs to you.
A Ride Watch...
Geiz!
What?
You take it.
Stop the Another Rider.
Me?
Sakuma, want to check out the meteor shower tonight?
Sure, sounds good.
Then we'll meet at our spot?
Okay.
Bye bye!
Yeah, that's right!
This is because I wasn't there...!
I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
But there's some good news, too.
After this scene, here...
You'll blame yourself for the rest of your life.
But if you make a contract with me...
You can save this girl.
I'll do anything!
Please!
I'm begging you, please save Karin!
Good boy.
FAIZ!
Hurry, Takumi!
Congratulations...
History has changed.
Starting today, you're Kamen Rider Faiz.
Karin...
Sakuma?
You...
You're a Libra, right? Just like Karin...
Sakuma Ryuichi (18)
Sakamoto Wakana (18)
FAIZ!
With this power, I can keep Karin alive...!
Yup, exactly.
That explains it.
So in order to keep her alive, he was attacking innocent girls.
But over the span of 15 years, his power started to weaken...
He sought even more power, and he found it from another Rider.
What?
Wait, did Swartz do something?
Sakuma's victims were treated like runaways by society.
Whenever the truth came out,
he'd have Karin change schools and start all over.
Why were you after her?
Karin and Sakuma were both orphans that went to the Ryusei Private School.
Just like me...
The Ryusei Private School...?
It all begins with a shooting star.
That's how the shooting star, ryusei, ties in!
I couldn't stop Sakuma after he became a monster...
So I was supposed to kill Karin, and keep the body away from him.
That's what she asked me to do.
So you did all that, even if it meant risking your own life?
How stupid...
You're no different, Takumi.
This guy Sakuma...
And every one of us...
We've all been sacrificing ourselves for the sake of our friends.
But at this rate, we'll all pay the price.
This cycle of sacrifice has to end...
And there's only one way to do that...
Put a stop to Sakuma, please...
But if you do that...
She's dead.
You alright with that?
Yamabuki Karin is already dead.
You can't change that fact.
Looks like you can't save anything, then.
Yeah, I can.
I can save him from throwing away his life for his friend...
From wasting 15 years of his life!
GEIZ!

Wait, Sakuma!
Karin...
I don't want to live at the expense of other people's lives!
And I don't want you to throw away your life for the sake of mine anymore!
Karin...
No!
I have to save you!
I swear, I'll save you Karin!
This isn't saving her...!
READY: SHOT ON
You're just making her suffer for longer!
Which is why...
We're going to save you both!
READY: POINTER ON
FINISH TIME! FAIZ!
EXCEED TIME BURST!
FINISH TIME! FOURZE!
LIMIT TIME BREAK!
Rocket Drilling Kick!
Karin...
I'm sorry...
Sakuma...
Thank you for everything.
You should live...
...for yourself.
Hey!
And thus, Fourze and Faiz's pasts were altered.
By the way, Sougo...
Did you give Fourze and Faiz the blank watches?
History steadily marches towards the inevitability of Oma Zi-O.
As for the next legend...
PLEASE!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Zi-O...
It's like real magic.
Another Wizard's World of Magic
This power... is mine.
Another Wizard's World of Magic
It's good to see you.
Comrades don't suit you.
You two, stop!
Tsukuyomi!
Magic Showtime
Looks like we have to do this.
