While Geiz is unable to defeat Another Build due to his continuous revival, Sougo locates Sento Kiryū and Ryūga Banjō, but realizes that they lost their memories as a side effect of Another Build's existence. During a brief period of defeat, Sento and Ryūga regain their memories long enough to hand Sougo the Build and Cross-Z Ride Watches and a hint that the only way to defeat another Rider is to do so in the year they manifested. Zi-O and Geiz travel to 2017 to help Kamen Riders Build and Cross-Z battle Another Build. Things look bleak until Sougo uses the Build Ride Watch to equip the Build Armor, allowing him to permanently defeat Another Build and restore history. Returning home, Sougo discovers that Geiz and Tsukuyomi are his new housemates.

Recognizing Sougo's desire to help others, Emu gives him the Ex-Aid Ride Watch and journeys to 2016 to join Geiz and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid in battling Another Ex-Aid.

Sakuma is then given the power of Another Faiz which lets him transfer life energy from the kidnapped girls to Karin to keep her alive before being given Another Fourze's powers in 2011 to continue. The rider powers are locked in a cycle of regeneration, which is why he recovered after his defeat. Kusaka was trying to stop Sakuma at Karin's request as they are all old friends.

Future Sougo explains that he needs his present selfs help to rescue Geiz, which Woz believes is a waste of time, and sends his past self to find the Gaim Ride Watch.
