Geiz asks where everyone else is. Uncle Junichiro says he hasn’t seen Tsukuyomi & Sougo is taking makeup exams. He’s on the cusp of graduating, depending on the exams, but Uncle Junichiro says Sougo was confident going into them since he “saw” them in his future.
Too bad though Sougo didn’t actually see the questions or answers in the future.
Sougo heads back home to study & prepare for his makeup of the makeup exam. But as he starts looking at the Calculus problems, he falls fast asleep.
Sougo wakes up in a countryside town. He spots a nice little siêu thị and decides to lớn buy something. The Obasan comes out and asks if Sougo is a machine or a human. Sougo says human, he thinks. Auntie’s eyes go red and says humans must be destroyed!
Auntie swings & kicks at Sougo who tries running away. But he runs into an Ojisan who also does the same thing. Now both Uncle và Auntie try attacking Sougo.
But just then, Zamigo a young man appears. The Uncle & Auntie ask if he is human, but the man says Nope, he’s a machine.
The man henshins lớn Kamen Rider Kikai. The Uncle & Auntie turn their attention to Kikai & they battle.
But Kikai has no problem disabling the Uncle & Auntie.
Before Sougo can say anything else, the whole world seems to lớn be vibrating. Actually, it’s his phone. Sougo wakes up và realizes it was a dream.
It’s Geiz on the phone & he scolds him for sleeping while an Another Rider has appeared. Sougo hurries out và over to where Geiz and the Another Rider are fighting. Sougo hesitates for a moment, but henshins to lớn Zi-O II.
Sougo is able khổng lồ finish off the Another Rider, but Geiz is surprised there’s no person inside. Sougo says it should be good enough that the Another Rider is defeated. He hurries back home to keep studying.
What they don’t see though is a strange skeleton spider thingy that emerges from the ashes. It scurries off and attaches itself to a tree lớn allow it to lớn regain its Another Rider form.
None of Ora, Heure or Schwartz have any idea where this Another Rider came from.
Back home, Sougo gives studying a try again, but he falls right back to lớn sleep.
Sougo returns to the dreamworld from earlier và finds himself with Kikai who appears to know him.
The young man introduces himself as Makina Rento. Sougo shakes his hand and wonders if this is a dream.
A group of kids come running up khổng lồ Rento và ask about the Humanoise appearing. Rento says he took care of them & asks the kids if they’re alright.
The kids excitedly want lớn see Rento charge up. He happily obliges & charges up with a laze beam from a solar power generating satellite. Sougo is amazed that he is a machine.
Rento says this is 2021 and that Sougo is dreaming of the future. Sougo can’t believe he is in the future, but he also wonders why the future seems so old-fashioned.
Sougo asks about the Humanoise. Rento says they are machines that take on human forms & they are already in control of the world. The last remaining humans live here in the human reserve where they can live peacefully as they die out. But the Humanoise refuse to lớn allow it.
Rento says he wants to lớn bring these kids to lớn an area where there are humans fighting back. They listen to lớn a radio broadcast that tries khổng lồ inform all humans about a meeting point.
Sougo says it’s pretty great that even though Rento is a machine, he is helping these kids. Before Rento can respond, a group of Humanoise arrive and start attacking.
Rento henshins and takes on all the Humanoise. He uses an Ultimate Finish attack to try and finish off these Humanoise. Sougo recognizes the attack as the Another Rider used it earlier.
Rento delivers a Full Metal The end attack to lớn take care one of the last Humanoise. But one last Humanoise whacks Sougo in the face with a shovel. He wakes up and hurries back out.
Geiz goes Faiz và is able to defeat Another Kikai, but he doesn’t see the thing scurrying away again. Sougo arrives and tells Geiz about Kikai. But Geiz scolds Sougo for sleeping when he’s supposed lớn be studying. Being a dropout demon king would be so lame.
Sougo hurries back home as Tsukuyomi suddenly appears with ShiroWoz. Geiz asks why Tsukuyomi is with him, but Tsukuyomi wants lớn ask why Geiz continues khổng lồ stay with Sougo.
ShiroWoz says he doesn’t know about Kikai & that far off in the future. But that Sougo’s dream was probably a prophetic one.
Tsukuyomi says Sougo’s nguồn is starting to lớn surpass their own, which is why they must defeat him now.
Back at home, Sougo does everything he can to stay awake. But Geiz arrives và actually tries lớn help him go to lớn sleep in the hopes that he can get more information on Kikai.
Geiz flashes back to Tsukuyomi’s warning earlier.
Sougo ends up easily falling asleep and he finds himself back in 2021.
Rento has been trying to lớn wake up him all this time. But he suddenly grows weak as he needs lớn charge up again.
Rento prepares to receive energy from the satellite, but a red beam suddenly shoots down and engulfs him. He is forced to henshin.
Sougo is jolted awake.
Geiz is again fighting Another Kikai. Tskuyomi says their only option now is to lớn work with ShiroWoz. ShiroWoz henshins to lớn Shinobi và Geiz uphenshins to lớn Ghost và together they are able khổng lồ knock Another Kikai out for a moment.
Sougo arrives & henshins to Zi-O II & delivers a King Girigiri Slash to defeat Another Kikai. Sougo sees the future. And just then, Schwartz takes the skelton thing & attaches it lớn Heure, turning him into Another Kikai.
Schwartz says he is using Heure to stabilize Another Kikai’s power which could even result in a Watch. He challenges them lớn see who can obtain the power nguồn first. Ora is not happy.
ShiroWoz says they will be first. He calls Tsukuyomi & Geiz to follow him. Tsukuyomi leaves first, following ShiroWoz. Geiz follows her.
KuroWoz reads in his book và says Sougo’s loneliness will bring him a new power.
Episode Thoughts
Ooo! Very interesting developments!
So, first of all, I liked Jingi Irie after Kikaider, but LuPat really made me a tín đồ of his in spite of his lack of screentime. So I’m definitely happy to lớn see him here. He’s very fun as Rento. Toei’s nod khổng lồ him as Kikaider is both fun and annoying too since I haven’t heard anything from them about the reboot since it first premiered. Lol
Still, it was great lớn see Jingi Irie actually get some good material.
It’s a very interesting concept. I think I would love khổng lồ see a full Kamen Rider Kikai season as well. A kind of nostalgic future dystopia setting would be amazing. It’s always great when Kamen Rider or Sentai go khổng lồ the Japanese countryside for episodes. For one thing, it definitely breaks miễn phí from the very familiar Tokyo locations. But it also gives a different vibe as well away from the city.
The opening with Sougo & the Ojisan và Obasan machines was pretty exciting. & actually very cool. Another refreshing take & a great way to lớn illustrate the dynamic of this 2121 world.
Elsewhere in this episode, Tsukuyomi was acting very strange. It would appear the wakeup hotline from last episode really changed her mind. Maybe ShiroWoz has done something to lớn her. But what could be very interesting is seeing her và Geiz actually having switched in how they want to khuyến mãi with Sougo. That would be a very fun dynamic to lớn have.
Having everyone, including the TimeJackers in the dark about Kikai and how the Another Rider is created is a nice twist lớn the story. It breaks out of the routine we’ve had for the last 20 episodes so far of “Insert Watch-Another Rider-Defeat Another Rider-Reinsert Watch-Defeat Another Rider with Rider Watch”.

The preview teases a temporary alliance in the next episode. But maybe more interesting is KuroWoz’s tease about Sougo possibly being stronger alone. We’ll see!
Overall, a pretty great và exciting episode. Especially with Jingi Irie & Kikai. Looking forward khổng lồ the next.
