ep. 5: Goddess of Creation and the Third Singularity

Let’s fight if you wanna be a soldier
Smash the wall right before your eyes
Let’s fight if you wanna be a soldier
Therefore it is your destiny
For you are not alone, face it before you are crushed
Indeed, with your hands, grab as much as you can

Summary

With the entire human race now under the mercy of a rogue AI bent on cleansing the world of malice by turning an already Deadly Game into a humanity self-destruction game where players are tricked to be killed by the villains. Tsumuri, the former navigator of the Desire Grand Prix seeks out Kuroto Dan to bestow him the power of Creation, in order to prevent more innocent people from being needlessly sacrificed to further Zein's forced utopia.

Unfortunately for the Game Master himself, Zein proved to be invincible to deal with. However, all hope is not lost when a mysterious Kamen Rider appeared and stood before Kamen Rider Zein — Kamen Rider Zero-Three. This mysterious Rider's identity remains a mystery, but one surrounding question regarding this new Rider: is he a friend or a foe?

Tropes

• Breather Episode: In a way, Kuroto's return in this episode serves as a break from the anthology's bleak undertones following episode 4's Downer Ending. This gets thrown out of the window as soon Zein shows up.
• The Bus Came Back: Kuroto Dan is back to being the central character after being Out of Focus for the entirety of the first season, almost two years since his last appearance.
