Infinite Evolution of Kamen Rider

As the e-book echoed with White Woz's voice, the alien ninja was swiftly kicked by him and exploded into sparks—shattering under White Woz's control. The creature reverted to its original form.

"Ah! Kagura Rintaro!" exclaimed Sougo, pointing at the unmasked alien ninja.

"Who's that?" Tsukuyomi asked, puzzled.

"It's the same Kamen Rider Ninja I saw in my dream!"

"Then it's decided—Sougo, use your ultimate mouth-jutsu!" Ryuga shouted from above.

Sougo: "..."

"Rintaro! Do you even remember why you desired power in the first place?" Sougo asked, stepping forward.

"I… I have this incredible strength. With it, I can definitely become a king!" muttered Kagura Rintaro, rising unsteadily. The words were a distorted echo of the ideals forcibly planted in him by Swartz.

Sougo: "No! That's not what you truly want!"

"In the future, you gained the power of a Rider to protect the weak. You don't need this corrupted strength that poisons your mind."

"If you still believe in your future self—then you must have the courage to abandon this unworthy power."

Rintaro stood frozen, Sougo's words sowing seeds of doubt. But just as his heart began to waver, Swartz appeared. Without hesitation, he retrieved the alien ninja watch, reactivated it, and shoved it back into Rintaro's body.

Rintaro screamed in agony as the alien energy consumed him once again, transforming him back into the alien ninja. With no choice, Sougo transformed once more to confront him.

Ordinary alien Riders were no match for Sougo. The only reason they kept returning was due to the resurrection loop—an ability only stoppable by the rightful corresponding Rider power. Today alone, Sougo and Geiz had defeated the alien ninja countless times. Sougo didn't even use his armored form anymore—his base form and a single Rider Kick were more than enough.

Swartz stubbornly stepped forward once more, preparing to reactivate the alien watch. But this time, Rintaro raised his hand and stopped him.

"Enough! My future is mine to decide!"

"Nani?!"

Rintaro shoved Swartz aside. "It's true—I can't protect anyone right now. But I'll take the gamble… and trust who I will become!"

Sougo nodded. "That's it. Believe in yourself!"

Rintaro (in his heart): Believe your big-headed nonsense! I've been blown up how many times now? If I transform again, I'm going to develop kidney failure!

I'm drained! Exhausted! Absolutely wiped!

Watching from above, White Woz smiled, pleased. He opened his e-book and scribbled quickly: The Ninja Ride Watch has appeared!

In his hand, a blank Ride Watch glowed—and transformed into the Shinobi Ride Watch.

"I won't bother asking your permission!" declared White Woz.

Enraged, Swartz grabbed the weakened Rintaro and once again slammed the alien watch into him.

"Thank you kindly, Demon King!" White Woz, full of confidence, walked forward and activated the Shinobi Ride Watch.

[Shinobi!]

[Action!]

[Projection! FutureTime!]

[Darejya? Orejya? Ninjya!]

(Who? Me? Ninja!)

[FutureRingShinobi! Shinobi!]

In a flash, Kamen Rider Woz transformed—donning Shinobi Form, his body clad in sleek purple ninja armor.

The two ninja-like Riders clashed in a chaotic battle. Flames danced, wind howled, shadows swallowed light. They jumped out of invisibility to hurl water projectiles—each clash more theatrical than the last.

The battlefield turned into a disaster zone: one part scorched by fire, another soaked beyond recognition. One had to wonder—would they be fined for all the public damage?

After destroying several clones, White Woz pulled back, switching his Time Despair Gun into scythe mode and slashing through waves of ninja illusions.

[Kamashisugi (Scythe Reaping)!]

"In the face of Kamen Rider Woz Shinobi Form, this alien ninja stands no chance!" he boasted—and immediately activated his finisher.

[BeyondTheTime!]

[Ninpo! The Art of Time Binding!]

[Kamashisugi! FinishTime!]

[IchigekiKaman! (One Scythe Kill!)]

Two shadow clones of Woz appeared, and together their combined finishing move exploded the alien ninja—yet again. This time, Rintaro rolled out of the flames, the corrupted alien watch finally destroyed, lying smoking beside him.

Freedom—finally. Kagura Rintaro grinned faintly, as if he'd awakened from a nightmare.

White Woz, now de-transformed, walked to Geiz and held out the ninja Ride Watch.

"My Savior—recorded here in my chronicle—it is written that in the year 2019, on the Day of the Demon, you obtained three Ride Watches that did not belong to this era, shattering the ambitions of the Demon King."

"This is one of them. I entrust it to you."

Geiz glanced at it... then coldly replied, "I refuse."

"…What?" Woz blinked in disbelief.

"I don't take gifts from smug people. And I don't trust you."

Turning on his heel, Geiz left. Sougo and Tsukuyomi helped the battered Rintaro and followed.

"Savior! Trust me! Believe in me!" White Woz called out.

Geiz (thinking): Believe you? Believe your nonsense! This watch doesn't even fit my belt!

(Ahem… For clarification: it's about compatibility. Don't bring up how toy collectors "make it work"—that's just marketing fluff. In reality, the belts are incompatible unless the three future Ride Watches are merged into the Rebirth Watch.)

Let's be honest—both Wozes have difficult masters. One refuses to become the Demon King. The other? Doesn't want to become the Rebirth King. As for whether Tsukuyomi returns to her own world and becomes a queen? Hard to say… she's just as difficult to serve.

Why mention her? Because she's a royal Rider. And it's only natural that each royal Rider gets a Woz. Right?

Woz is apparently the universal butler of all dimensions. Wherever a noble Rider rises—another Woz appears. We've only seen two so far, but brace yourself: Woz's wardrobe is running out of color schemes.

After every fight, the Time Jackers mysteriously take days off. Their work ethic is miles behind Tied's. All they do is plug watches into people—does that really require a full vacation?

What is Swartz doing in his free time anyway? Stealing popsicles just to survive?

As for the former Time Jacker, Ora, she's been cooped up too long. Lately, she's been trying to stay active—whether it's boredom or some strange twist of fate, trouble seems to follow her.

At first, I didn't want her going out, but her pleading wore me down. Fine—go.

She's not dumb, after all. If she didn't have a cruel streak, Swartz wouldn't have picked her to be a looter of time.

And so, on this very day, I gave this mischievous little wildcat a mission—to stir up some trouble for Sougo and the others.

"Huh? Aren't we on the same team?" Ora, lying on Ryuga's lap and painting her nails (silver again, obviously), asked lazily.
