Evolto now engages a full-scale onslaught to complete the Pandora Box, and his next target is Sento. Evolto infects Sento with an alien poison that can only be cured by Evolto.

• This episode reveals that there was a Gorilla Fullbottle prior the creation of the one seen in the series, explaining why Takumi Katsuragi was able to transform into Kamen Rider Build GorillaMond in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending and Ex-Aid's 44th episode before the Gorilla Fullbottle was created by Sento.
  • This also reveals that a Fullbottle can be turned back into an Empty Bottle.
• Sento Kiryu briefly dies in this episode before the removal of the poison revived him. As with the mid-30 episode-count of a typical Heisei Phase 2 series, the protagonist usually dies before coming back with their final form.
• After Cross-Z and Evol's final attack before it resulted in an explosion, only Ryuga's body was seen intact on-screen with Evolto now in possession of his body, while the fate of Soichi Isurugi's body is later shown in the next episode.
• This is the first episode since it's debut that Build does not assume his TankTank Form.
