Synopsis[]
The second round of the Desire Grand Prix is a "Labyrinth Escape Game". Ace, who was transferred to a different space created by the Jyamato, has to pair up with ordinary people who got lost in the labyrinth and escape while protecting them.
Ace and the others find a door that seems to be an exit, but it won't open unless its code can be deciphered. Then the Jyamato appear, and Ace and the others try to transform into Riders and protect the people, but the Jyamato, who have achieved an amazing evolution, attacked the Riders!
Plot[]
Tsumuri makes a video diary about last episode before being asked by Ace about being his sister which she is and saying they were complete strangers first. Girori tells them it is time for breakfast with him asking Ace why he wanted DGP Staff becoming his family to get close to them and even shows his latest wish is "A world where I become the staff of DGP." Ace bluffs it by saying he is fascinated with Desire Grand Prix. After breakfast, Girori asks Win to take Ace out in the next round with Tsumuri objecting, saying they should have a fair game, but Girori says "That man has won too much."
Later, Keiwa is gambling on lottery tickets again with his sister spying on him, berating him for almost skipping out on a job interview. They talk about his change in behavior recently before he is goes to the bus stop and boards a bus to get to the job interview. He along with bus driver and two passengers suddenly get sucked into a hole, caused by the appearance of the Jyamato. Neon leaves the house with Irumi asking Kousei what did Tsumuri bring to her. Before he answers, she is informed by Ben and John that Neon ran away. Irumi orders them to bring her daughter back but her husband insists that they let her go as Neon is an adult and can protect herself.
Neon later invited Ace to a cafe, picking up from where their previous conversation left off by asking him why he doesn’t just wish to find his mother. Ace reveals that he has already tried that, but can’t make such a wish as the Desire Card rejected it. Ace suspects the DGP can possibly prohibit certain wishes from being written or granted if it is detrimental to their plans. Neon asks Ace what he thinks of his mother, but he says that he needs to find her first before that can be answered and such a task is worth risking his own life for. Neon isn’t sure how to respond to that when they suddenly both receive a call to report to the Desire Temple.
Tsumuri tells the five Riders that the Jyamato have been located, transporting everyone above the hole and they all plummet downward through it into another dimension. They arrive at a mansion and are then found by Keiwa, Jiro the bus driver, and the two siblings, Kozue and Yohshiki. The quartet explain how they got there and the contestants all see that all four civilians have strange vine collars wrapped around their necks, with Jiro pleading for help in having the collar removed.
Tsumuri then explains that the game of Round Two is called Labyrinth Escape, the four civilians plus herself will be paired with a Rider who must protect them and escape the labyrinth with their escort in tow. Abandoning them or getting them killed will result in a Rider’s elimination from the DGP. Ace pairs with Yohshiki, Neon pairs with his sister Kozue, Michinaga gets Jiro (who originally wanted to go with Neon but was pulled away) and Win escorts Tsumuri, much to her chagrin.
Neon is concerned that Tsumuri cannot leave the area, as she has never been directly part of the games before. Michinaga notices that the exit is right in front of them and tries to cheat by leaving, but the door is locked by an intercom password system. They need to find the password before they can escape and Ace notices a cipher above the intercom. The Butler and Maid Jyamato appear and the Riders transform to defend their respective escorts. They then get an unexpected and worrisome surprise when a Maid and a Butler Jyamato suddenly speak Japanese: ”Hen..shin”.
Both are armed with Desire Drivers and their own Buckles to become Jyamato Riders, with each proving to be very strong and easily overwhelming the Riders. Making matters worse is that the closer the Jyamato get to an escort, the tighter their vine collars get, slowly choking them. Ace quickly borrows Neon’s Beat Buckle, becoming Geats BeatBoost to use a Tactical Thunder attack to destroy the surrounding Jyamato, only to learn that the Jyamato Riders can regenerate their bodies. With no other options, the Riders and their escorts are forced to retreat into the mansion and fight off any Jyamato inside. Tsumuri manages to protect herself from a Jyamato by hitting it on the head with her tablet until Win escorts her away from danger, Michinaga just pushes Jiro out of the way while fighting and Ace struggles to keep Yohshiki safe but manages to get away from the foyer. The group quickly splits up and go deeper into the mansion.
Ittetsu and Neon are escorting both Keiwa and Kozue through a hallway and quickly hide from some Maid Jyamato briefly patrolling the area. Ittetsu is struggling due to his age and sore joints, apologizing to a concerned Keiwa as he should be protecting him instead of the other way around. Neon asks Kozue if her neck still hurts, but she says she is fine as long as they stay far enough away from the monsters, Ace and Yohshiki meet up with them, with Ace saying that the coast is clear for them to move around. Kozue hugs her little brother upon reuniting with him, relieved that he is alright.
The Riders get a phone call from the Game Master, with Ace informing him that Jyamato now have the power to become Kamen Riders. The Game Master is not concerned as Jyamato are ever evolving and he will send them all an item to level the playing field. Jiro fusses about his collar, demanding that Michinaga figures out a way to take it off already. Michinaga calmly explains that it will come off once they escape, only for Jiro to scream in pain as the collar tightens, with the female Jyamato Rider discovering their location. Michinaga grabs Jiro and they run for it.
Back at the Desire Temple, the Game Master packs golden Raise Buckles into Mission Boxes and drops them around the outside of the mansion, wishing the Riders good luck. One of the Mission Boxes is found by a Maid Jyamato, who picks it up and carries it with her.
Girori takes off his mask and wonders why the Jyamato can become Riders, saying he “didn’t order this”, picking up the phone to call someone.
At a greenhouse in an unspecified location, the phone rings but the mysterious gardener tending to his work doesn’t answer. He lugs a heavy plastic crate filled with Desire Drivers to the table near the phone, then goes to the nursery where hundreds of baby Jyamato are growing on vines. The gardener encourages all of them to grow big and strong and tells them that soon their era shall come, laughing maniacally as a bag filled with broken ID Cores lays on the ground next to him.
Back at the mansion, the group of Ace, Neon and Ittetsu are hiding in the dining room. Ittetsu gets a notification on his Spider Phone that the items that the Game Master sent have arrived. Neon notices that one of them on the GPS map is moving. Kozue comforts her frightened little brother Yohshiki, with Keiwa hesitating to say something.
Ace is examining the room, searching for clues about the password, discovering a matching part of the cipher from the exit on a painting of a sunflower. Neon takes a picture of it with her phone and asks him if he’s figured out the puzzle, with him certain that the key is finding the correct paintings with the matching cipher parts.
Neon asks about the Game Master, with Ace saying that man knows all the secrets of the game. Neon suspects that her father has some form of involvement with the DGP given she was chosen by the Game Master once again to compete. Ace thinks that is a lead word investigating, but suddenly their conversation is interrupted when the Maids find them and they are forced to run away again to keep their escorts from choking to death. Ace holds the Maids back with a steel coat rack to let the others escape, only to run into the male Jyamato Rider and make a hasty escape.
Outside the mansion, Win locates one of the Mission Crates with his phone, with Tsumuri noticing that the Jyamato have taken the remaining four crates. She is displeased being with Win, but gets even more frustrated when she finds that he is going to cheat and leave Ace trapped in the mansion. She insists that they should play fair, despite her unwillingness to be Ace’s sister within his current world. After moving around some ciphers, he is caught by Michinaga, who suspected something was up by the two staff members pairing up. He asks them exactly why do they want to eliminate Geats….
As the other team races and stops in a hallway, Keiwa complains about how unlucky he is and his life is the worst as he sits down to rest. Ittetsu tries to encourage him, saying even Yohshiki is trying his best despite the current situation. Neon notices that Keiwa is acting strange, which Ace explains is because he lost the game and thus his desire and the ideals that were part of the wish he made on the Desire Card has been taken from him as well as his memories. She then understands why she agreed to a marriage interview and could not remember her career as an influencer or her desire to leave her home.
They all are found by the Maids again and Neon and Ace hold them off in their Rider forms while Ittetsu tries to escort Keiwa, Kozue and Yohshiki to safety. Unfortunately, more Maids, Butlers and a Jyamato Rider await at the bottom of the stairs. Ittetsu summons his courage and transforms, telling the three to run away up the stairs while he tries to fend the Jyamato off. While his effort is valiant, Ittetsu’s old body is slower react to the oncoming assault of the Jyamato and then the Jyamato Rider grabs him by the throat and Rider Punches him, critically injuring the hero as he falls to the floor. Ace and Neon find him, with the former running interference while Neon pulls Ittetsu aside to somewhere safe. One of the Maids drops a Mission Box, with Ace grabbing it to obtaining his Feverslot Buckle.
Neon asks Keiwa to look after a untransformed Ittetsu while she helps Ace, who asks him why he’s so reckless, Ittetsu says can’t just let young people die before he does. Ace encourages Ittetsu not to give up, and to keep believing in himself that he will survive.
Ace revolves his Boost form and equips the Feverslot Buckle, hitting the jackpot of the buckle’s slot machine mechanic and becoming Fever Boost, a double Boost form that maximizes his power and speed. Ace tells Ittetsu to believe and then eventually luck will find him. He then easily smacks around the enemy grunts and then does a dueling Rider Punch against Jyamato Rider, which causes a shockwave that blasts everyone fighting him into the ceiling walls. After landing several hard hits to critically weaken Jyamato Rider, Ace then executes a Golden Fever Victory, summoning the Boostriker to race around and mow down the grunts and then grabbing the bike by its wheel to do a unique Rider Break by smashing it with its boosters engaged into Jyamato Rider twice, killing him.
The Boost Buckle takes off, smashing through a pillar as it flies away, everyone ducks as it zips past with Keiwa feeling that experience seemed familiar for some reason. As they run, a Butler Jyamato grabs the Desire Driver of his fallen comrade and examines it, then transforms into another Jyamato Rider and pursues after the heroes..
