Icon-zi-oThis article is about an episode in Kamen Rider Zi-O.

2019: Apocalypse (2019：アポカリプス, Nisen-jūkyū: Apokaripusu) is the forty-ninth and final episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O. It is the third and final part of the Kamen Rider Decade tribute arc. It features the full debut of Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi after her brief appearance towards the end of the previous episode, the revivals of Heure and Ora (the two of them having died in episodes 45 and 46 respectively), Sougo's transformation into Ohma Zi-O and Swartz's death.

Synopsis

Bear witness to the birth of Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi! However, this miraculous power will be used in an unexpected way! Did Tsukasa and Sougo's plan ultimately fail?! As the end of the world is approaching, much to the contrary of what the situation might show, Sougo's heart remains terrifyingly calm! Because hidden deep within him lies his secret resolution...

Plot

"All thanks to Sougo Tokiwa's efforts, Tsukuyomi has become a Kamen Rider. However, her choice to defect is unforeseen. This is the very last page...until the end of the world..."
―Black Woz[src]

Tsukuyomi succeeded at transforming into Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi! But, she stops time and kneel to Swartz, pledging her loyalty to his brother, betraying Sougo and her friends. With that, they escaped.

Sougo, Geiz, Woz and Tsukasa Kadoya return to 95 DO to discuss the recent situation. Tsukasa's original plan is to make Tsukuyomi a Kamen Rider, because the cause of her world's destruction is a lack of Kamen Rider there. Ideally, once Tsukuyomi become Kamen Rider, she will return to her homeworld and then creating a link with Sougo in this world, uniting the worlds. Still, this plan lacks a mean to migrate billions of humans on Zi-O's world to Tsukuyomi's homeworld.

Meanwhile in the city, Tsukuyomi tells her brother about Tsukasa's plan. Swartz actually agrees with the plan, especially after Tsukuyomi promises to support Swartz's rule as a king in the new world.

The following morning, Sougo has a breakfast with Junichiro. The uncle tells him not to make this a last meal, and that he should come home with his friends when everything is resolved. Before Sougo departs for the final battle, Junichiro presents him with the repaired 20 Ridewatches, citing that for a master watch repairer like him, there is no watch he cannot repair.

In the city, the horde of Kamen Rider enemies are wreaking havoc everywhere. Geiz, Woz, Tsukasa and even Daiki Kaito are fighting to protect the civilians, but the enemies are resurrected endlessly, overwhelming the four Riders. The situation become even worse when Swartz summons pas Riders' final bosses. N-Daguva-Zeba brought down absolute darkness from Kurogatake Mountains, Evolt consuming people inside his black hole, Gamedeus infecting people with Gamedeus Virus, and Sagittarius Zodiarts and Utopia Dopant killing people.

With the help of Tsukuyomi, Another Decade defeats the four Riders, take them out of the battle. Before he could go on, Sougo arrives with the newly-restored Grand Zi-O Ridewatch, and transforms to the final form. Sougo summons Kamen Riders Build TankTank Form, Drive Type Formula, Ghost Ore Damashii, and Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer to assault Another Decade, but the kaijin relents and strikes back. After that, Sougo summons OOO Tajadol Combo, Gaim Pine Arms, Wizard Infinity Style, and Double CycloneJoker Xtreme to aid him in battle, but the final bosses wipe the floor with them. Finally, with the combined strength of final bosses, Swartz defeats Sougo too, reverting him to human form.

Swartz blasts Sougo with an intent to kill, but suddenly Geiz in his Revive Shippu form stand before him and takes a fatal damage. Sougo cradles the dying Geiz, and he finally confesses that he feels very happy returning to 2018 and befriending Sougo. Geiz finally calls Sougo his name and ask him to become Oma Zi-O, the strongest and kindest king, before passing away. Stricken with grief, Sougo's Ziku-Driver transformed to the golden Oma Zi-O Driver.

Sougo transforms in anger into Oma Zi-O, making Woz speechless. In deep voice, he asks the prophet to announce his ascension and he does so. Swartz laughed in elation at seeing the Demon King however, because with that he can finally absorb Sougo's powers to rule the world. He begins absorbing said power but it backfires, because Oma Zi-O's power is the power of ALL Heisei Riders. As Swartz doubles in pain, he commands the final bosses to kill Sougo.

Oma Zi-O begin the most one-sided battle of his lifetime when he destroys all final bosses in one hit and even thinning the horde of Riders' enemies easily. In a desperate attempt, Swartz tries to absorb Oma Zi-O's power once again, but Tsukuyomi stabs him from behind, while saying that she only fakes the betrayal against Sougo. As the enraged Swartz kills Tsukuyomi, Sougo howls in anger and executes the Oma Zi-O Ultimate Attack to finally kills Swartz.

Before their existences erased, Tsukuyomi pleads his brother to stop his foolish actions as he can't defeat the strongest and kindest king, Sougo. Swartz is finally erased... before she's gone, Tsukuyomi entrusts Sougo with the future of two worlds.

Woz approaches Sougo and pledges his everlasting loyalty to the newly crowned king. But, Sougo doesn't want to rule as he will destroy this timeline. Before he could do so, he is brought in front of his future self. The old Demon King asks if Sougo is really willing to discard his dream to be the king and Sougo answers that he doesn't want to become a king if his friends are dead. With that answer, Oma Zi-O's existence is finally erased.

As Sougo destroys the timeline, Tsukasa and Kaito are watching in the distance. Tsukasa says that finally his adventure in World of Zi-O is ending and he looks forward for another adventure in the future. After that, the united world separated to 20 Heisei Rider worlds and Tsukuyomi's homeworld, restoring the timeline.

In this new world, Sougo returns as a normal high schooler in the end of 2018 summer vacation. As he departs for the school, he meets his school mates, Geiz and Tsukuyomi. Ora and Heure are also here too, they become Sougo's underclassmen. Sougo and co then go to the school together, surely to lead an ordinary life...

"An ordinary high schooler, Sougo Tokiwa awaits a future where he becomes the demonic king of time, Ohma Zi-O. Or will he? We don't know yet. For on this day forward... A new history, different from this book, will need to be scribed."

Errors

  • In the credits, Masahiro Inoue and Kimito Totani do not have the names, Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider Diend next to their characters names even though they were transformed in this episode.
  • When Decade inserted the Final AttackRide Card to Neo Decadriver, the text displays "AttackRide: Slash" on the buckle, while it announces "Final AttackRide: De-De-De-Decade!".
A Grand Error
  • In the GrandZi-O transformation sequence, the CGI pedastals are placed perspectively wrong along with Sougo's green screen lines weren't cleaned well.
  • The GrandZi-O Ridewatch was reformed even though the Decade Ridewatch isn't in Sougo's possession anymore and was returned to Tsukasa in episode 47.
    • Although, GrandZi-O did fight simultaneously with Decade against Another Zi-O II in the same episode as well. This may indicate that the GrandZi-O Watch is usable as long as the original Ridewatch or power stays intact.
    • In addition to that, Decade Ridewatch is also present among the watches absorbed by Ohma Zi-O.
  • Evol Cobra Form (Phase 1) can be seen generating black holes in his attacks, something that Evolto can only do in his Black Hole Form (Phase 4: Perfection) and monster form.

    • Kamen Riders: Zi-O, Geiz, Zero-One
    • Ridewatches:
      • Zi-O: Zi-O
      • Geiz: Geiz
      • Zero-One: Zero-One
    • This is the only Closing Screen that doesn't just use Zi-O's standby sound, but also Zero-One's.
  • Count at episode end

    • Watches in Tsukuyomi's possession: Tsukuyomi, Phone, Taka
    • Watches in Woz’s possession: Woz, Shinobi, Quiz, Kikai, Ginga, Phone
  • This episode features the return of GrandZi-O Ridewatch and Kamen Rider GrandZi-O, the form and Ridewatch having been lost in episode 47. It also features the final time and full version of GrandZi-O's transformation jingle, unlike episode 40, the "Rider Time" part is added.
  • As with many series' final episodes, the opening sequence is skipped. However, the opening song plays during a scene towards the end.
  • Gamedeus, out of the four villains standing beside Another Decade, is the only villain not to be the Final Boss of his respective season as the role belonged to Kamen Rider Cronus.
  • After Ohma Zi-O's transformation, all the Heisei Era Ridewatches (including the ones that did not make any appearance previously) make a cameo appearance as they fuse into him.
    • However, it wasn't stated if occurance of those Ridewatches meant that Rider powers from their owners were stolen in this process or not.
  • Sougo's transformation into Ohma Zi-O in this episode is a callback to Yusuke Godai transforming into Ultimate Form in Kuuga episode 48 , as they both transform into their most powerful forms (Ultimate to Kuuga, Ohma Zi-O to Zi-O) which had the potential to turn them evil to defeat the final villains of their respective series , but in the end maintain control over said forms and remain good.
  • This episode has a few similarities to Kamen Rider Ex-Aid's season finale.
    • Sougo screaming in rage is similar to how Emu screams in rage before punching Cronus.
    • A new trinket that features a features the next rider that is being presented at the end of the episode.
  • This episode also has some similarities to Kamen Rider Build's season finale.
    • Both the worlds are reset and only a few Riders remember the original world's events.
    • The identities of the same Rider have a conversation in mind and one of them appear to fade away (Sento and Takumi for Build, current and initial Sougo for Zi-O).
    • Instead of the successor Rider, a Ridewatch makes an appearance.
    • Evolto is present in the final battle.
  • The scene of what happened after N-Daguva-Zeba releases the darkness is directly cut from Decade episode 2.
Geiz Revive Shippu helmet broken

Geiz's broken helmet from this episode

  • GeizRevive Shippu's broken helmet, revealing part of Geiz's face is reminiscent of several other scenes featuring broken helmets throughout Heisei Rider series.
  • Geiz's death in this episode is similar to Ren Akiyama's death in Kamen Rider Ryuki Special: 13 Riders and Rider Time: Kamen Rider Ryuki, both having them heroically sacrificing themselves in the arms of a lead Rider.
  • It is not explicitly revealed nor hinted if Michal Minato was revived by Sougo's timeline reset and if revived, remembers the original timeline or not.
  • Throughout the episode, Sougo and Woz state that Ohma Zi-O has powers of Every Kamen Rider instead of the usual Heisei Riders or simply Riders. This hints that Ohma Zi-O was also able to drain Ridewatches from other Eras and A.R. Worlds and present-day Riders as well, but their Ridewatches weren't shown.
  • This episode marks the final appearance of Masahiro Inoue's portrayal of his role as Tsukasa Kadoya as his actor confirmed on his YouTube channel that his series regular role in Zi-O will be his last reprisal in a long while.[1]
