Kazuma still fought the endless Darkroaches soldiers by assuming King Form until he was exhausted. Later on, when he woke up, he was questioned of had he decided and replied that he had. Kazuma decided to meet Hajime inside a forest and both were fighting as Kamen Rider with their final form. As the battle went, both were proved to be equal in strength and strategy.
Finally, the battle ended with Hajime was the loser and reverted into Joker. Hajime pleaded to Kazuma to seal him, but the latter replied that it was no longer needed as Kazuma had achieved his true goal. After Kazuma cancels his transformation, Hajime watched in horror that Kazuma had turned into Undead, proven by his version of the Joker belt and the green Undead blood flowing from Kazuma's wound.
Hajime asked why and being answered that Kazuma was wishing for Hajime to live in peace with humans. As the effect, the Darkroaches soldiers were finally erased as being declared by the Monolith that, due of there was a new Undead, the Battle Fight will be continued. Kazuma destroyed the stone, but it reappeared again. Being asked by Hajime about what would Kazuma do next, Kazuma replied that he would fight his fate and will definitely win.
Hajime was surprised by the answer, however, Kazuma decided that both of them were not allowed to meet each other again or they would be forced to fight by their own Undead's instinct. In the end, Mutsuki was seen with his girlfriend, Hajime lived happily as usual but still felt lonely without Kazuma's presence. Later, when Hajime was walking around, he saw Kazuma was greeting him.
But when Hajime was happy and approaching him, it turned out to be just an illusion. Finally, Hajime wondered what happened to Kazuma. The series ends with engine sounds running and motorcycle tracks left across a deserted field, possibly Kazuma.
