Summary
This episode opens up with Sougo heading into the dinning room lớn eat some breakfast. Geiz grabs Sougo from behind và holds a baguette to Sougo"s throat, lượt thích if it were a knife. Geiz reminds Sougo & the viewers of what has happened in the previous episode & what Sougo has khổng lồ go up against next. Geiz lets Sougo go & then shows off his new method for trying khổng lồ stop Sougo from becoming Oma Zi-O. What Geiz does is simply ask Sougo lớn retire from being Zi-O, saving not only Geiz và his friends but also Sougo as well. Sougo refuses & then Woz comes in. Our heroes are still mad at Woz because of what he did. Woz tells our heroes that there"s something more important that they must focus on. Our heroes go outside và they see that the whole đô thị is being attacked by Oma Zi-O"s giant robot army from the future. (They look like giant versions Tom Servo from MST3K.)Sougo explains lớn Geiz & Tsukuyomi that he had a dream about this attack as a child. Also in this dream, a weird man went up lớn him và said that he was destined to lớn be king. Yup, we just got the origin tale about why Sougo wants to be king. A time portal opens & out of it comes one of Oma Zi-O"s henchmen, Kasshiin. Kasshiin looks like if Scorpion from Mortal Kombat upgraded his outfit to lớn look like something from Destiny 2, with his gold & black armor. Kasshiin"s goal is quite simple, he is out to lớn eliminate Geiz và Tsukuyomi. Kasshiin does some damage but Geiz and Tsukuyomi manage lớn escape. The Time
Jackers have a quick scene but it"s not an important one. It"s just them observing what is going on.

Sougo catches up with Geiz & Tsukuyomi. Sadly, Sougo has come at the wrong time because Geiz has come khổng lồ the conclusion that he has no choice but to destroy Sougo though force. IT"S HENSHIN TIME, BABY! Geiz transforms into Kamen Rider Geiz and tries to kill Sougo. This fight is cut short because Kasshiin interferes, trying to protect Sougo. Sougo gives orders lớn Kasshiin to lớn stop what he is doing but Kasshiin refuses. Sougo has no choice but to morph into Kamen Rider Zi-O, so he can stop Kasshiin. Zi-O tries to jump into the fight but Kadoya interferes và transforms into his Kamen Rider Decade form. Geiz is getting beat, Zi-O is getting beat, all of our heroes are getting beat. Zi-O is trying to convince Kadoya khổng lồ stop but he won"t and he just transforms into his Kamen Rider Build form. Zi-O has a trick of his own và he uses his fusion transformation and combines the Build and Decade watches lớn become Kamen Rider Zi-O Decade Build Mode. Zi-O finally gets the upper-hand, only for Kadoya to lớn transform into Decade Mode again, where he out strengths Zi-O. Kasshiin doesn"t lượt thích this và rushes off khổng lồ protect Zi-O. Geiz begs Kadoya to help them stop Kasshiin but he refuses and the fight continues. Kadoya and Woz try to convince Zi-O to lớn ditch Geiz and join up with them, only for Zi-O to refuse. (As you"d expect him to.) A big time portal opens up and Zi-O gets knocked into it. Don"t worry, Tsukuyomi runs in after him. Kadoya drags Geiz out of the battle and into safety. Why? I don"t know.

Sougo wakes up và it is the year 2068 & he is shocked when he sees the statue of himself. Tsukuyomi explains to him about what this pee-pee soaked heck hole is like and Sougo doesn"t lượt thích what he hears & storms off to lớn go look around. Meanwhile, back in 2018, Geiz questions why Kadoya & Woz are doing what they are doing, only lớn get no real answer, so he storms off. (A lot of storming off in this second half of the episode.) Back in 2068, Sougo is upset with the future that he has created, it turns out that he is destined khổng lồ wipe out half of the population on Earth. (Heavy stuff.) Out of nowhere, Sougo và Tsukuyomi are attacked by a character that I recognize, the red long from Kamen Rider dragon Knight/Ryuki. Well, by attack, I mean that it takes our heroes khổng lồ another location, where they meet the much older, much more evil, Future Sougo/Oma Zi-O.Sougo can"t stand what he has become & transforms into Zi-O & tries khổng lồ destroy his future self by blowing him up with rockets. The attack fails và his future self morphs into Oma Zi-O và absolutely smashes Zi-O. Oma Zi-O gives Zi-O the choice to lớn give up the belt so that he won"t become evil in the future. This is where the episode ends, with Sougo having lớn make a choice that will make or break a future.

Review
A lot of story progression in this episode, it really thickened up the show và answered some big questions. It also left us with many new questions and teases some ultra big things khổng lồ come. Makes me very curious khổng lồ see what will happen in the next episode. The writing in this episode is very balanced, there were no times where it felt lượt thích that they were spreading the plot thin. A real surprising thing about this episode was that they didn"t jump back & forward between locations & characters all of the time. Instead, this episode had what felt like two really long scenes. This may sound dull but they were very interesting & time just flew by. I like how we saw some more depth to lớn Oma Zi-O by having him appear and send some of his army, really showing off how much of a threat he is. There"s also still a lot of mystery behind Oma Zi-O & I hope what we still have to see from him will be worth it.
*

There"s a lot of action in this episode but it wasn"t all that great. I mean, the fight scene towards the end was good but the big battle in the middle of the episode had too much going on. (Quantity over quality.) It was a messy fight full of convoluted plot twists & interferences, it was hard to lớn follow. The effects in this episode were very grand, much more so than the typical episode và it didn"t look half-bad.Overall, a pretty good episode that spices up the series. I give this episode a seven out of ten. Here"s hoping that the next episode won"t be disappointing.

Recap: Episode 15.5: Supplementary Project into Eternity (Part 1)

Tsukuyomi reads that Sougo will give up his belt. So what will happen next when Sougo leaves Zi-O?

*
*

Geiz says he’s been telling Sougo to lớn quit showbiz since episode 1. Tsukuyomi calls Sougo “KY.” But Sougo asks what’s going khổng lồ happen if he’s no longer the star.

*
*

Geiz and Tsukuyomi imagine an easy transition to lớn Kamen Rider Geiz và Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi.

*
*

But Sougo tells them lớn stop và says he’s just doing what’s in the script. Tsukuyomi notes the script isn’t the Bible after all. & the script for the Supplementary Project is nonsense anyway.

Geiz mentions all the crazy lines he’s had to say so far. Sougo then decides to come up with his own lines such as “Toei doesn’t pay enough!” or “Work starts too early!” or “Don’t force me khổng lồ film for over 12 hours!”

*
*

Geiz had wondered when he’d be able to lớn express the same sentiments.

Woz appears and reminds everyone that Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER opens in theaters on December 22nd!

Sougo says they should promote the movie. But Geiz points out that the Supplementary Project is exclusive lớn TTFC – Toei Tokusatsu fan hâm mộ Club, so anyone watching now will probably watch the movie even without their promoting it here.

Woz says the TTFC members don’t know that there’s a big surprise in the movie though.

Anyway, Woz still thinks this episode is kind of boring, despite it being the penultimate Supplementary Project episode.

Sougo, Geiz and Tsukuyomi ask what that’s supposed to lớn mean.

Episode Thoughts

So this was definitely a pretty big episode khổng lồ have this all now at only Episode 15. Though at the same time, how long can we really have Sougo doubting he’ll becoming Oma Zi-O, yes?

Will definitely be interesting what the result of this episode will be since it does mark a major turning point in the story, even if maybe a few things are a little contrived.

Like, the appearance of the dai Mazines. Why are they appearing now, especially after Woz mentioned the timeline speeding up thanks lớn all of Sougo’s actions contrary lớn what Woz hopes from his dear king.

I vị enjoy seeing Woz showing his more devious side a little bit more and more. It makes things even more intriguing moving forward as the proclamations are certainly getting a little tired, as Tsukasa showed last week. Lol

Interesting lớn remember that Sougo meeting his future (past?) self the other week seems lớn have been foreshadowing this two-parter where 2018 Sougo meets, presumably, Oma Zi-O Sougo in 2068. Of course what the ramifications are of this meeting, we’ll find out next week.

Elsewhere, I loved seeing that little move by Tsukuyomi when she kicked Kasshiin to release Geiz. Và then seeing her in 15.5, I am definitely hoping we get lớn see Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi in the future.

I loved seeing Geiz’ henshin from the back và point of view of Tsukuyomi.

Speaking of, I understand Geiz’ feelings this episode. It was nice to see him acknowledge that he really did want to lớn give Sougo a chance và was starting to lớn believe in him & his power lớn change the future and basically, his destiny to become the demon king. But having to flip-flop back and forth so many times, it must drain on Geiz và he’s probably had enough. Especially if he has lost many of his friends and comrades & even family along the way. & after what’s happened so far, he must be wondering if there’s really no way to change the future. & that whatever they vì in the past, all roads still lead lớn the same thing.

I also still wonder if Geiz is Sougo’s son or something though. Lol I remember seeing someone suggest that và I’ve started to lớn really think that’s the case lol

One thing I also wondered about. Where did Sougo get all those new Watches for the Dual Time Breaks?

And I’m kind of sad the Supplementary Episodes kết thúc next week. =( They’ve been fun.
