Synopsis[edit]

Leading an expedition in Thuringia, Germany, Kousei Kougami and Erika Satonaka unearth the tomb of an alchemist named Gara. With the seal broken however, Gara uses his magic to revive himself, capture Kougami and Satonaka, raise a tower protected by a magical barrier, and flip the area over to Japan. Seeing the occurrence, Eiji Hino, Ankh, and Akira Date investigate and battle knights emerging from the tower. The fight attracts the Greeed before Gara arrives, steals the majority of everyone's Core Medals, and attempts to kill a young boy named Shun Wakaba. After Hino rescues Shun, Gara announces his intention to become the new OOO of a new world before Shintaro Goto arrives and reveals who Gara is. Ankh senses a being similar to Gara, leading to the group finding a strange girl named Bell collecting human desire to power Gara's doomsday machine.

As the machine activates, another section of Japan flips over, sending Hino and Hina Izumi to the Edo period. He attempts to keep the peace between the present and past individuals until the Nue Yummy attacks him. Due to losing his Rider powers during the transition, Hino uses Date's before partially regaining his own and escaping with Izumi. As Tokugawa Yoshimune dispels demonizing rumors about Hino, Shun tells the latter the former's mother, Satsuki, was kidnapped and possessed by Gara when the alchemist first arrived. Meanwhile, a third area of Japan is flipped over to the Mesozoic era while Kougami convinces Gara to use Hino's infinite desire to accelerate his plot.

The next day, Hino fights the Nue Yummy once more while Izumi provides support. He is overpowered until Yoshimune and the Edo civilians arrive to aid him in destroying the Nue Yummy. After Yoshimune takes his leave, Bell appears before Hino and offers him the choice of returning to his time while everyone else is erased from existence. He agrees on the condition that he be allowed to bring his family with him. Bell grants his wish, but realizes too late that he considers everyone in the world his family. This causes Gara's machine to overload while Japan is restored.

After Date and Goto destroy the barrier protecting it, Hino and Shun storm Gara's tower. As Kougami and Satonaka secretly break out, the alchemist assumes his true monstrous form to battle Hino. Shun's presence allows Hino to free Satsuki before the fight is interrupted by a crash-landing Kamen Rider Fourze, who befriends Hino before the pair knock Gara into his tower. As Fourze leaves to return to school on time, Gara transforms into a dragon and overpowers Hino and Date until the Greeed give Hino their remaining Core Medals so he can assume all of his Rider forms at once and destroy Gara with Date's help. As the Wakabas take their leave, Hino realizes that he, Ankh, and Izumi are a family too as they walk home.
