Takatora Kureshima/Kamen Rider Zangetsu visits a former Yggdrasill Corporation experimental project site located in the poverty and conflict stricken Torkia Republic.

This underground city is the most dangerous place in the republic, in which many young men are killed defending themselves while trying to survive. These men use Lock Seeds and Drivers to transform into Armored Riders. Because of his fall, Takatora loses his memory. He's helped by the leader of the Orange Ride, one of the teams in this underground city. He suddenly sees another Rider and shocked by his amazing power, he realized that this Rider is Zangetsu.

Those around Takatora try to help him regain his memory. Unbeknownst to them, there are cameras hidden all around the underground city. The ones behind the cameras is responsible for the conflicts in the city. One man in particular is seeking revenge on Takatora for a specific reason...
