Duel! The True Identity of Shocker's Great Leader (決斗!ショッカー首領の正体, Kettō! Shokkā Shuryō no Shōtai) is the third and final episode of the net series D-Video Special: Kamen Rider 4.

Synopsis[]

Shinnosuke and Mr. Belt identify the location of The Great Leader of Shocker and go forth to confront him and end the time loop once and for all.

Plot[]

Kiriko explains the many time loops that happened after Kamen Rider 4 appeared. Along with the loops (which usually result in one Kamen Rider dying), Shocker manage to call forth many Anti-Hero and Dark Riders such as Baron, Sasword, Ouja, and Dark Kiva. Shocker also successfully mass produce Sky Cyclone, leading to World Domination.

Kiriko took a visit to the Drive Pit and met Shinnosuke, who's still trying to find a way to end the time loop. Kiriko suggests that they should give up, much to Shinnosuke's dismay. Shinnosuke reassures Kiriko that they will absolutely defeat Shocker. Belt-san theorize that if Kiriko dies, the History Modifying Machine will stop. Out of love, Shinnosuke rejects the idea and orders Kiriko to keep watching over Go.

Meanwhile, Takumi wonders what his friends would do if they were put in the same situation. Suddenly, Kaido appears and asks Takumi to not risk his own life. When Takumi asks Kaido what he actually knows, Kaido replies that he can't continue this case whatsoever before taking his leave.

The next day, at a factory owned by Shocker, Shinnosuke, Takumi, and Yuuto launch a surprise attack to the combatant outside and manage to infiltrate the factory. Then, 4 appears and Shinnosuke transforms into Drive to fight 4 while Takumi and Yuuto transform into Faiz and Zeronos to fight Cheetahkatatsumuri along with Ouja and Dark Kiva. Drive manages to fight equally with 4, but still lacks the power needed to completely defeat the latter.

This time, Faiz and Zeronos manage to retaliate successfully, until Cheetahkatatsumuri shows live footage that Kiriko and Go are being held hostage by Hilchameleon and Arimammoth respectively. This results in them losing their will to fight. Cheetahkatatsumuri orders Sasword and Baron to fight them.

Meanwhile, at the place Kiriko and Go are being held hostage (on top of a factorial cylinder), Kiriko warns the Kamen Riders to run to avoid the worst case. After encouraging Go to keep on living, Kiriko commits suicide by throwing herself to the ground below. Zeronos states that time can't be altered by now, but he's wrong. A green flash shines momentarily as Drive and Go grieve over Kiriko death, starting a new time loop.

Final Loop[]

Shinnosuke awakens at his cubicle, and receives a phone call from Kiriko. But instead of scolding him for being late to the cinema, Kiriko asks why she returned back to life, implying that she had her memory restored. Shinnosuke concludes that Kiriko wasn't the cause of the time loop, before Yuuto informs Shinnosuke about Takumi's disappearance.

After informing Go and Kiriko about the news, Shinnosuke and Yuuto find Kaido. Kaido ask them to leave Takumi alone, while informing them that the true cause of the time loops is none other than Takumi himself. Kaido explains that after the battle with Horse and Arch Orphenoch, Takumi and his friends were already dead. Kaido explains how Takumi gave his life to protect everyone, but Yuuto states that they do the same before leaving. Kaido reproves, since it will be too tragic for the person in question, but Shinnosuke states that the one who should choose whether it's tragic or not is none other than Takumi.

Go and Kiriko later find Takumi resting on a hill. Takumi states that he doesn't want to die, but if it's for the sake of the world, he'll do it gladly. Go then proceeds to take a photo of the gang (Shinnosuke, Go, Kiriko, Yuuto, and Takumi).

At the same factory, the Kamen Riders transform to have a final assault against 4 and Shocker. While Drive is fighting 4, Faiz takes the chance to enter the Machine control room, not forgetting to kill Hilchameleon using his Faiz Edge. But, before Takumi could even destroy the Machine, Kaido appears and transforms into Snake Orphenoch to fight him.

Meanwhile, Drive is facing 4, and Belt-san calls Booster Tridoron to counter Sky Cyclone. This time, Drive accesses Type Formula to fight 4. After a rather hard battle, all of the Sky Cyclones are destroyed by Booster Tridoron's spiral strike (empowered by Deneb inside of the ZeroLiner). Drive and 4 collide in their respective Rider Kicks and 4 broke his right leg. 4 is about to counter Drive's Formuladrop Kick with his Rider Punch, but Drive is stronger after boosting the output with the Shift Brace 6 times then 3 times, and destroys 4 for good.

At the same time, Mach assumes Deadheat Mach to finish Cheetahkatatsumuri off with the same method used by Kamen Rider 3. Then, he joins Zeronos to fight the Dark Riders. Zeronos assume Zero Form and defeats Sasword & Baron using his Buster Nova finisher with the Denebick Buster. Mach also uses his Hit Macher finisher with the Zenrin Shooter to defeat Ouja and Dark Kiva's Double Rider Kick.

Back at the Machine control room, Faiz manages to finish the Snake Orphnoch off and explains that he's doing this to save the world. When the rest of Kamen Riders join in, the Great Leader reveals himself, having the same appearance as Takumi Inui. The Great Leader uses the Faiz Legend Signal Bike to transform into Faiz. However, just before the Great Leader can start another time loop using his Axel Watch, Takumi shoots the watch off after encouraging his comrades to protect humanity when he's gone, forcibly distorting time into the original history.

Original Timeline[]

Shinnosuke wakes up and finds that the time had stop looping. Kiriko scolds him for being late to join her and Go watching cinema. Panic stricken, Shinnosuke hurriedly rushes to Kiriko when he stumbled upon Yuuto. Yuuto gave him the same photo Go took, though now, Takumi is missing from it, indicating that almost everyone had forgotten about his existence except Naoya Kaido.
