Kamen Rider Ryuki- Crossover Ryuki Chapter 6

Ryuki ran onto the scene finding a purple clock-based rider fighting a blue Rider. The two riders were dueling with swords ready to face off. As the blue Rider turned, Ryuki noticed something to his surprise. The rider clearly had an Advent Deck. The other rider appeared to be the much-talked-about Kamen Rider ZI-O. The man with the book and the scarf was also there appearing to observe the battle. 

Two new Riders?

“You Riders may have stopped my monsters for now, but you can’t stop me forever.” The rider said. 

He’s behind the monsters? If I can help him win, I’ll surely impress the Riders. 

“A king protects his subjects, even other Riders,” ZI-O said.

“Behold… the overlord of time will defeat yet another Mirror Rider..!” the Scrafed guy shouted. 

“You know Woz, sometimes it feels like you don’t help out much,” ZI-O said.  

Ryuki took out his Sword Vent card. 

“Sword bento!” the visor said. 

He leaped up and caught the sword and dashed forward when suddenly the Den-Liner appeared in front of him blocking the way. Ryuki stopped in his tracks. The door opened as Ren exited the vehicle. 

“Kido, we need to talk.” He said. 

“Ren? What are you doing? Transform there’s a Rider right there!” Ryuki said. 

“No.” Ren said standing in front of Ryuki’s way, “ZI-O can handle it himself.” 

“ZI-O? You mean that’s the king of time over there? What’s going on? You sound grumpy.” Ryuki asked. 

Ryuki could now only hear the sounds of battle as he anxiously waited for Ren to leave. 

“I need you to stop doing this,” Ren said. 

“Stop? I’m just lending a helping hand out..” Ryuki said.

“No.” Ren said, “You’re just looking for validation. Kido, Riders stay in their own business.” 

Shinji took a moment to think back and realized he realized he never really saw the other riders much except when during a crisis. 

“I suppose that’s true but-” Shinji said. 

“Then you don’t need to help ZI-O. Go home.” Ren said. 

“He’s literally fighting a guy with an Advent Deck and besides I just wanna ask him something too!” Shinji said. 

Behind the Den-Liner, Shinji heard “Finish Time!” This sound was followed by an explosion and screaming. Ryuki then rushed past Ren and jumped over on top of the train.  

“Kido!” Ren said. 

Ignoring Ren he went to investigate as ZI-O was examining a card.

ZI-O!” he said.

ZI-O turned his head in surprise to see Ryuki and the Den-Liner. 

“You guys are a little late.” ZI-O said, “He left behind a weird card.”

Shinji recognized the back of the card clearly meant it was an Advent Card. 

“I use those cards!” Shinji said. 

ZI-O tilted his head, “Then you can have it.” 

Shinji took and examined the card himself. The border of the card was gold-tipped similar to Survive, however, the card was completely blank. 

“Huh?” Shinji said out loud titling the card around hoping to find something. 

Maybe this is a clue after all. 

“What are you guys doing here?” ZI-O asked. 

“Oh! King of time, I wanted to ask you something. You use my dragon powers a lot right?” Ryuki said. 

“Dragons are cool,” ZI-O said. 

“How useful do you consider them?” Ryuki asked. 

Decade held onto his chin to think. 

“Well, fireballs and DragRedder are pretty useful. You know I think that even my evil future self uses or used  DragRedder.” Decade said. 

“You make it sound like DragRedder is more useful than me,” Ryuki said. 

“I summon all of the Heisei Riders fairly often,” ZI-O said. 

“Hey..wait! Do you ever copy my fighting style?” Ryuki asked.

Woz rubbed the back of his head, “Your fighting style is too silly for the overlord.” 

“Silly?!” Ryuki said. 

Ryuki turned around as Ren was coming towards him again. 

Am I really silly? 

“Ren? Am I silly?” Ryuki asked. 

Ren raised an eyebrow, “..Yes? Without question.” 

Ryuki sighed. 

“Get on the train, we’re leaving Kido.” Ren said. 

Ryuki removed his Advent Deck as he followed Ren. On the train, he was greeted by the other Riders and Momotaros. 

“Hello everyone,” Shinji said softly. 

He turned his attention to Momotaros, “I found this strange Advent Card at the scene! I think it has something to do with the monsters appearing..!”

Momotaros turned his head and said, “I don’t know a thing about Advent Cards.” 

“Maybe you and I can solve the case. I can tell you all about the Advent Cards!” Shinji said. 

“Well..” Said a voice. 

Shinji turned to the crowd, as he saw the man wearing the scarf again. He flipped through pages of his large book. 

“The book of time actually says that Kamen Rider Knight will help Momotaros solve the case.” He said. 

“Then that settles it, punk-jerk you’re staying with me!” Momotaros. 

“No..! Take me back to Eri. I don’t care about any of this.” Ren said. 

“Ren? Solve a case? That sounds impossible.” Shinji said holding the blank Advent Card. 

“It is prophesied, but time has a way of tweaking and working itself out. I’m sure you’ll realize that.” The scarfed man said smiling. 

He winked at Shinji as the Den-Liner stopped. 

“This is your stop! But I’ll be talking to you soon Knight!” Momotaros said. 

Shinji and Ren got off at the same spot. The Den-Liner quickly left after they stepped off. 

“What does all of this mean? Why did I find this Blank Survive card?” Shinji asked. 

“Don’t know. Don’t care. Forget about it Kido. The situation is probably over with.” Ren said. 

“I feel like there’s something more with this.” He said. 

Shinji looked off as he saw Ren walking away in the moonlight. Shinji yawned himself. He heard a clock ring. For a moment he closed his eyes. He then heard a strange Mirror Call. It was familiar to him. 

Then when he opened his eyes, it was daytime. And he was in front of Restaurant Agito where he saw the owl monster from.. Yesterday? 

What’s going on? It was just night! I couldn’t have fallen asleep. 

Memories flashed to him. 

Punch when you see golden feathers!

He quickly pulled out the Advent Card from Decade’s fight. The card still had a blank symbol however, the type was Advent and the creature summoned was the Rider that ZI-O was fighting. 

I’m not sure how, but I’ve traveled back in time.. Again! 

Alternate Artwork for this chapter

Hehe...

I love how throughout the series Tsukuyomi has grown more and more trusting to Tsukasa to the point that she wouldn’t think twice in following Tsukasa on his ‘road trips’

Thank heavens for this episode... lol. I mean, when Zi-O first started I was wondering how would the show try to explain how the whole thing about Zi-O’s world (the whole thing about the Another Riders and the creation of one would negate the original’s existence as a Kamen Rider and changing the past for the riders) as well as other things. But with this Kabuto tribute and later on with the mentions of the distortions, some of the things that initially don’t make sense to me might make sense.

I mean, After Decade was concluded I always thought that it means that the earlier nine (eight, if you count Kuuga and Agito’s worlds as one) of the original Heisei Rider words would go back to normal, as in existing separately and no longer gonna try fusing with each other and self-destruct (Well, Decade’s world should cease to exist I guess but suppose that was the price to pay). As for the phase 2 Heisei worlds, since Movie War 2010 I always considered W’s world (as well as others up to Ex-Aid) as being set in a completely new universe apart from the Phase 1 worlds. Or that Phase 2 world was connected to Showa (well, since Fourze had that ‘legend riders’ thing)

In which, all that was fine and dandy if not for the Movie Taisen series that complicates the chronology a bit. (as it having some crossovers that got weird sometimes. I mean, we even had 2 different Takumi in 2 diff movies/special!) Well, some people would either just treat the Movie Taisen as non-canon but well... I usually just apply Decade in the mix. As in for anyone who appears where technically they should be from other different worlds/universe, we have Tsukasa using his powers to bring them over. But then Zi-O happened, and for a while now I’ve been contemplating if Zi-O should be in the same world as Build’s (C World), or the main Phase 2 universe, or practically a different separate world anyways. But assuming it is in the general Phase 2 world was easier... except the fact about Build’s world, as well as Phase 1 worlds shouldn’t exist together.

But putting in the distortion in the story would’ve solved a lot (at least for me). Cos by now it does appear that Zi-O’s power was somewhat similar to Decade’s yet not quite the same. And having the distortions having an effect of allowing all these different people and Kamen Riders to appear before Zi-O one at a time would make more sense. Like rather than the worlds’ fusing made the universe overlap, the distortions made parts of the worlds ‘leak’ into each other. You can use that as an excuse as to why after acquiring the ridewatches the Zi-O gang never crossed paths with the many KR predecessors and their friends afterwards.

Well, it certainly useful for me whenever I wanna write fics set in Zi-O

Zi-O Ep 36: Let’s mix it up a little!

So, I did things a little differently this week. Me and @miyukomatsuda​ were watching Marcosatsu’s History of Kabuto vid, and she suggested we watch Zi-O 36 together., too, since watching this alone my first time through would have been AWFUL. So, my notes might be a little. Weird this time around. I’m going to try to transcribe my chat with her in here.

*Fair warning, it gets a little... swear-y in here this time. Also, sorry for the length. Chats do that, and this is condensed down.*

M: Ey! TOKI NO OUJA

M: YEET! THIS MAKES EVEN LESS SENSE THAN NORMAL

S: WHEN IN DOUBT, THROW THE SWORD. THROWING YOUR SWORD ALWAYS WORKS.

M: Ginga also means Galaxy

S: ye, I know

M: ye. Themeing.  -also

S: SPACE MAN

M: has sougo not used fourze armor before now because I thought he did

M: WHY IS SOUGO UCHU KITA-ING

S: he’s used it in it’s debut

M: **SOUGO WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO GENTARO**

S: and then in the mass fight against the Another Riders in the Another ZiO arc. but that’s it

M: yeah! Ty

M: SOUGO WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO GENTARO NOW WHY IS THAT IN THE PREVIEW-

M: oh my god

S: much like gatakiriba, it would probably murder the CG budget

M: he’s going to fucking space.

M: THEY’RE GOING TO FUCKING SPCAE ARNE’T THEY

S: the zi-o Fourze finisher is him just. Armoring up and BEING the rocket. It was ridiculous.

M: YEP. I love it!

S: goes all Snipe Level One on the monster, spinning like a bullet

M: YUP. Remember him fucking up build’s catch phrase AND math

S: even Ryuuga knew he was getting it wrong. that takes “skill”

M: WHEN EVEN THE BF KNOWS

S: we should have seen babby reality warper coming when he used Ex-Aid and took the speciall effects and threw them at the Another Rider

M: yep

S: ~casual reminder that zi o can be read as ‘character king’~

M: (eyes emoji)

S: ~as in written character~

So, over all… NOT A GOOD EPISODE. I basically went from assorted variants of “Eh” to “ugh why this” throughout. This was definitely a low point on the ‘tribute episodes’ scale, and that’s taking the character assassination from the Build arc into account.
