Kamen Rider Black BGM- Emotion
The afternoon sunset was overlaying the horizon, creating a beautiful atmosphere.
Within the large area of Beika Ward, there was a young man with black hair and amber-brown eyes, wearing a high school uniform and fingerless gloves, a white right-hand one and a black left-hand one.
His name was Jouji Minami.
Years ago, he was adopted as the son of Kohtaro Minami, famously known nowadays throughout the world under his secret identity as Kamen Rider Black RX, the hero who once fought against the insidious doomsday cult known as Gorgom and the interdimensional tyrannical empire known as Crisis Empire.
The current year was 2024 and the first week of school had already begun.
"Hey, I'll see you around, Jouji."
The one who spoke to him was Souta Mizushino, who was a classmate of his from the prestigious Teitan High School, one of the top schools in the country. He had straight brown hair that reached down to his neck and amber-brown eyes, wearing a uniform consisting of a dark blue blazer (that had a logo of an hourglass and a globe located on the left chest side) and red necktie (in the school they go to, the default colors for their neckties are either red or green, and Jouji was also wearing a red necktie), with dark blue pants and black shoes.
He was an avid fan of all kinds of anime and video games. In fact, Jouji remembers the times when he and Souta would head to Akihabara to buy a few merchandise and figures. Whereas for him, well, there's a secret hobby that he is into. Well, maybe calling it a secret hobby is a bit much, but he doesn't really tell most of anybody about it, and the only ones who knew it were his family and friends. Most people seem to figure him as some type of cool guy who seemed a bit unapproachable, at least upon first impressions.
Like, what's with that kind of perception? He thought dryly.
Well, he supposed that it was because he didn't have the... well, charismatic and happy aura of his father, which he wished he had.
In any case, Souta was about to have a private date with his girlfriend and classmate, Setsuna Shimazaki, and that was why they were about to part ways for the afternoon.
"Ah, see you," Jouji said.
The two eventually parted ways as he made his way home. In the suburban areas of Beika Ward, there was a mansion where he lived along with his family. He would use a key to open the gate and enter the lot before closing the gate.
"Raff! Ruff!"
That was the sound of a German Shepherd that would run towards Jouji, who smiled as he petted the family dog, Stewart, who greeted him with similar sentiments. Eventually, Jouji and the family dog would go inside and, using his key, would open the door.
"I'm home."
He would say. But he would slowly notice that nobody was home when he looked around the place. His mother was a photographer working on the Daily Planet's Japanese Branch located around the downtown area of Beika, so she was probably busy at the moment and wouldn't be back home until late at night. His father was currently in Gotham City helping out the city's local hero regarding a case related to an old enemy of his known as Kobra, an organization that had assisted Gorgom back in the 80s, so he's definitely not gonna be back either anytime soon.
The mansion was larger on the inside, though the spaces were very wide opening as his parents were quite down to earth. No fancy chandeliers or anything. Simply normal lighting and anything of necessity.
"...Well, nobody's home," Jouji smiled a bit, looking at his dog who tilted at him. "Guess we have the place all to ourselves, boy."
"Raft."
Before he would head to his bedroom, he would start by feeding the dog, and placing his treats in a bowl for him to eat. Then he would head upstairs to the second floor and head to his bedroom in order to watch a few episodes of PreCure. Yes, that was the so-called secret hobby that he had. Yes, he was a fan of magical girls, PreCure most especially. It's been airing around since 2004, and in the mid-2010s, as a kid, he had been watching the show and was hooked by it ever since.
He could not fully explain the reasons why he was hooked. Well, he was obviously drawn to the various life lessons that each of the seasons of the franchise had to offer. Like any kid, he was fascinated by the action, and there's a lot of it in PreCure. But the reasons seem twofold. One was... well, he has a personal favorite among the PreCure. He loved all of the PreCure, but there was one Cure that caught his eye.
Hana Nono, also known as Cure Yell.
There was something about her that captivated him. Her and the entire season about her and her team, the HUGtto! PreCure. Her catchphrase "You can do anything, you can be anything." helps him to think and be mindful more of his future. It was one contributing factor aside from his father and the other Showa Riders that made him want to better himself every day. Her struggles felt relatable to him, because well, when you are essentially the son, even if adopted, of a famous beloved hero, there's bound to be some level of expectation and perception of him, not to mention personal responsibility.
A part of him wanted to live up to such expectations, to not be a disappointment to his parents, and to not become the opposite of the hero who once fought Gorgom and Crisis Empire and saved the world, but in the process, he did lose a few members of his family in the aftermath. He remembered the stories his father told him about those fights. He even has a manga that was based on his father's adventures. They all left a deep impression on him and made him very grateful for the things that he had and that he would not take for granted.
Being the son of Black RX, he did not want to become a liability, hence he decided to take up a few martial arts classes here and there. His father would train him personally after Jouji requested that he train him. His mother, being a black belt champion, would also train him after he asked for her permission as well. Other people also helped, and he felt grateful for their help.
Even after all of these reasons stated above, there was one thing that made him attracted to Hana. He did not know what. Maybe it was her good qualities, which he admittedly found inspiring and endearing. The young woman who refuses to give up, despite the discouragement, despite the uncertainty, despite what may await the future, and is more than willing to face it head-on with a smile. However, this was not the only thing that attracted him to her. He felt... well, a strange kind of deja vu from her, one that he could not explain.
He tried to explain this to his parents, but he found that he could not articulate it well, because... well, how does one explain this strange feeling that... Hana reminds me of something. Something about his past perhaps? Maybe. His past was admittedly a mystery, even for him. He has no actual memory of his past. The only thing he remembers is his name "George Kurai", before his name changed to what he has today.
His father, via by himself and with connections, tried to investigate more about him, but he could not find out anything more about Jouji. As far as the records were concerned, there was nobody named George Kurai. It's like he never existed. That... bothered him.
And speaking of his "original name", the one thing that made him pay attention to when watching HUGtto! PreCure was the seemingly coincidental name of the main villain who shares the same name as him. George Kurai. A man who, at least going by the hints of the season, seem to have suffered a tragedy. There were a lot of speculations and fan theories about this, especially the villain's relationship with Hana, which Jouji found to be... well, he was bothered by it, though he did not know why. The reason was not like some people on the internet who pointed out the age discrepancies. It was something else, but Jouji could not articulate why either.
Pretty vague, admittedly, but that's all he had to go on.
With a sigh, he finally was in front of the door that led to his bedroom. Time to watch the latest episodes of Wonderful PreCure, he thought.
As he opened the door, he noticed something. No, someone.
"Eh..."
There was a soft, squeaking voice, one of surprise, and it was not Jouji. Rather, it was someone who... admittedly looked like... dare he say it, Cure Yell, if she were a real person.
Now, most people would either demand an explanation or wonder if it was a thief in their home or be more than a little troubled that somebody was in their bedroom of all places. But for Jouji, he was... silent. His eyes were more focused on analyzing the person he was looking at.
She had a very beautiful face. She had long, light pink wavy hair and a pair of buns on top held by red ribbons and daisies. Her eyes were lighter and her eyelashes were thicker. On her lips were lipstick. Her clothes consisted of a pink and white midriff top with three white and gold button straps in the middle. Her translucent sleeves are puffy and off-the-shoulder. She also wears light yellow wristbands that resemble pom-poms with light pink ribbons. Her skirt matches her top and is pleated with a translucent layer and mint green ruffle on top of it. There was a heart-like gadget that hung on her left hip over a pink pompom bow with a white ribbon. She also wears short light pink and magenta boots with red bows and yellow pom-pom trim with white thigh-high socks. She had accessories which included a pearl headpiece with a pink heart on it and green clover earrings.
"...Eh, umm, eto..."
The woman was a bit self-conscious and embarrassed. She was starting to notice that the young man had been quiet for a while. He was barely reacting and was only staring at her.
"I'm sorry!" the woman would bow her head for a bit before looking at Jouji. "I, umm, this may sound hard to believe, but I don't know where I am and all, so..."
The woman would stare sideways at a poster that had the image of Cure Yell, her image, on a wall, which was right alongside the image of Kamen Rider Black which was drawn by Shotaro Ishinomori, a famous manga artist who actually created manga based on the lives of the Showa Riders, including his father Kohtaro Minami. He had the entire complete set on the bookshelf that was on the study table nearby.
"Umm, actually," the woman looked at Jouji with a concerned tone, pointing a little to the poster on the wall. "Why... Why is there a poster of me in this room?"
Jouji did not know why, but his heart clenched at the sight of this woman. Something in his head was aching a bit as he held his head a little. It felt like...
K̸̰͖̺͙̄̃s̵̼̥̃̽̅s̶̛̻͎͍̣̳͉̾̽̏͋͠ș̸̣͈̻̺̍̕͠h̵̛̤͐̉͒͆͊h̸̨̩̼͇̏̂̆̒͒̎ȟ̴̠̩h̶̡̬̫͓̤̖͊̒̅̚h̷̡͈̯͍͔͒h̴̡̼̲̼͌̈́̌h̸̛̬͔̯͌̂̍̂̚h̷̨̰̘̪̊͐ĥ̶̳̳̗͖̹̹͗h̸̯͔͔̳̋̃͝h̷̛͍͓ḫ̵̛͎͖̽́̈́̊͜͜͝h̶̩̄̈̔ͅh̶̭̉h̴̝̰̦̼̲͐̈́̓̔͝ͅh̶̢̛̲̦̤́̂̊ͅh̶̝͗̋̎͝h̴̘̗̣̙̙̄̓͗͗͊h̴̡̢̘͌h̷̟̫̊́̓͜͠h̸͔͘ĥ̷̲h̸̡̬̯̤̘̟͆͂̏̐h̵̐̊ͅh̶͓̝̽̽͐̄ḣ̸͉̹̹̮̦͎̄ḣ̵̻̫̰̺̳̕ͅḩ̷̛̤̦̮̜̆̐̂͑͜h̴̛̼͈͇̎̀̽͜h̸̗̺̳̻̪̺̒̈́h̸̭͔̞̼̃̀h̵̨̩͝ḩ̷̣̘̈́́̍̚h̷̳̞̲̲̺͗́͊͑ͅh̸̹̺̺͕̿̒̍̎h̴̜̱͔̮͛͌̍̈͑h̷̹͖̰̀̒͒̑̈́h̷̘͈̽͊̀̆̎͠ͅh̶̙́h̸͎̟̾̉̆̿̀h̷͖̫́̉̈̍h̶̲̲͉̹͕͌h̸͉̙͇͍̮̎͑̾̆̃͠h̶̞̯͔̥̝̯̍̅̈́̒h̴͍̫̓̄̉̃̌h̴̙̀h̷͉͚̱̓h̴̥̙̗͉̾̊
His head was pumping, his nerves wracking, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
The woman noticed something was wrong and rushed to his aid with a worried expression on his face.
"What's wrong?!" she asks in worry while holding on to the young man's body to support him, because it was almost like he was about to fall down.
"...I."
And the last thing he remembers was seeing the woman's face before collapsing as he uttered a word within his mind.
"...Tou-san."
Outside of the mansion, a man was standing on the rooftop wearing a grey robe that had a hood. He was a young man, and he was holding some kind of book in his hand, which he opened.
"...Iwae, the time has now come for the curtains to rise," the man spoke softly as he lifts his left hand up as the afternoon sunset would shine. "One of my lieges has now finally met his flower and future queen. Thus, events are now set into motion. My other self no doubt would try to entice him onto the path of Ohma Zi-O as it was written in his destiny. But... my liege has a far grander destiny than just merely a simple scapegoat of a demon king, for two Century Kings who are born from a solar eclipse would now begin to arise within this century, the start of their reign. Nay, for the future, instead of the desires of black and of white, would be dyed in the colors of grey."

光の戦士 · Takayuki Miyauchi
Somewhere on the other side planet, in the bright hours of the morning, there was smoke arising from the harbors of Gotham City. Blaster fire was heard as the police officers of Gotham's finest were engaging the Kobra Troopers.
"It's RX, open fire!"
Kobra Troopers, wearing dark green military attire and yellow snake masks that covered their faces except for their mouths and white eyes, would use their advanced rifles to open fire, unleashing a barrage of yellow energy beams, against somebody who was charging straight at them with a bright bluish-white lightsaber weapon in hand, which he used to reflect the blasts back at the troops' guns, dismantling them, which causes them to short-circuit and exploding, sending the troops crashing.
This person had full body armor, with a mixture of black and dark green colors, with black and dark green shoulder pads, black gloves, and black boots. He also had a silver belt with a bronze rectangle in the center with two red stones vertically attached. He had a silver mouthpiece, large red eyes, and two thin silver antennae. His helmet resembled the Green Milkweed Grasshopper. And on the left side of his chest was a golden-colored symbol with a strange design that looked like a modified "RX".
He was Kohtaro Minami - Kamen Rider Black RX.
With acrobatic skill, he would dodge the blaster fire and reflect the energy beams back at the Kobra Troopers' guns with his lightsaber-like weapon known as the Revolcance. With grace, he performs numerous punches and kicks in quick succession, which the troopers never saw coming even as they try to tackle him with their physical prowess. The Kobra Troopers were very dangerous men, trained in the way of mercenaries, with strict discipline and proper combat efficiency. But when it came to Black RX, they seem to fall short, for the hero had fought more dangerous kaijin ever since he first started as a Kamen Rider.
"Oof!"
Black RX would punch the last trooper with his fist, knocking him out.
"Sssst!"
Black RX would turn around to find a dark green reptilian humanoid creature whose face resembled a snake.
"Damn you, RX!" The snake man would raise his hands that were sharp as nails. "You and that flying rodent from Gotham may have foiled our plans here, but this is only just merely the beginning."
"That's what you always say," Black RX would speak as he makes a battle stance. "But your evil will never succeed, not as long as I and any other hero in this world would be alive to fight the evil that your kind represents."
"You call us evil, RX, but you are wrong," the snake man says. "For a New World Order is about to arise... and of course, your son will be the one to lead us to that glory."
"What?!" Black RX's anger flared, and his red bug eyes glowed. His heart grew weary and concerned at the same time as this was the first time he found out about Kobra's intent. He dared to mention his son in his spout of pure insanity and unadulterated evil?! Unforgivable!
Then, the snake man would begin to spout acid from its mouth, but RX would begin to slice the acid in two and evaporate it with his Revolcane which he twists circularly. He would jump toward the kaijin and would engage him in battle.
"All units, this is Gordon," a tall man with grey hair, grey mustache, and glasses, somewhere around his late 40s to early 50s, wearing a brown trenchcoat and dark red necktie amidst his white collar shirt, holding an advanced pistol, would call all of his men through his comm-link. "Leave that monster to RX, focus your efforts on rounding up the remaining soldiers in the harbor."
"Yes sir," one of the SWAT members spoke from the comms. "Alright, you heard him, men, let's move out."
Black RX and the snake kaijin were fast. With furious blaze, he would begin to twirl his Revolcane with each thrust and slash, with each being precise with the intent to kill. The snake kaijin was proving to be more difficult to tag due to its snake-like movements of dodging his movements. Black RX would eventually think of something to counter this. He slashes the snake kaijin, who evades from said slash as he jumps high towards the metal shipping box located a few meters away.
Raising his hand and making a pose, Black RX would transform into one of his forms, the Prince of Sadness - Roborider, and with his Vortech Shooter, he would aim at the monster and fire a beam of pure energy at the latter.
"Ah!"
The monster was hit and did not have the time to dodge the sudden burst of energy, sending him crashing down on the ground. Afterward, the snake man tries to get up from his position. Roborider instantly transforms back into Black RX and has supersonic speed and momentum, unleashing an attack as he jumps high and performs a twisting kick maneuver.
"RX Kick!"
His charged-up legs would impact the chest of the snake man, sending it flying away for several meters before hitting the ground, just as Black RX would land on the ground and face the monster. The snake man was now almost on its last legs as it began to try to stand up from his position.
"Hehehehe! This world is... ours, RX! A new... Century King of the 21st Century is coming... and your son will be that king, hahahahaha! Hail, Kali-Yuga!"
The snake monster raises his hands before exploding into nothing but an orange cloud of flame.
Despite the victory against the monster, its words continued to haunt Black RX as he pondered this ominous warning from his troubled heart.
He stood up and reflected.
A new Century King?! His son?!
No!, Black RX thought out of worry. He doesn't want that to happen to his son, just as it had happened to him so many years ago. Memories of long, long ago came back to haunt him. He remembers the ancient cult Gorgom, and how they had destroyed his life and that of his brother, Nobuhiko, who became only known as Shadow Moon. He remembers the horrid atrocities that Gorgom did in the name of the battle between Century Kings. The death, the destruction, the families that were torn apart, the loved ones that were lost.
He doesn't want any of that to be bestowed on his son.
"...Tou-san."
"Ah!" Black RX turned around as he heard an echoing voice, his son's voice? "Jouji!" He muttered softly as he looked up at the heavens, with the sun shining down on him.
"RX."
Black RX glances to his shoulder and sees a tall man wearing a state-of-the-art batsuit and cowl. The suit, in particular, was highly advanced, designed with flexible plates overlaying an MR-fluid (magnetorheological fluid) armor layer, and incorporating the latest in cutting-edge technology. He recognizes the man as Batman, the local hero of Gotham City, and an old friend.
"What is it?" He asks.
"...Batman," he spoke softly out of worry. "...I, it's my son."
"Your son?" Batman asks.
"The monster I fought just now, he mentioned my son... and he mentioned how he was chosen to be a Century King, just like me."
"Do you think it's possible that the monster was lying?" Batman countered rationally. "What Gorgom did to you hasn't really been a secret to many HYDRA cells like Kobra for a long time."
"It's...It's possible, but..." Black RX spoke softly. "I heard him, Batman, I heard my son's voice calling to me." He looks up to the sky. "I need to head back to Japan, at least to make absolutely sure that he's alright."

OP Song:
Iczer 1 OST - Eien no Iczer1
yoake no machi o hitori de aruki tsuzuketa
namida ga asahi o abi kagayaku made
I kept walking alone in the streets at dawn.
My tears, shone by the rising sun, were sparkling.
The sun was rising on the horizon, creating a beautiful atmosphere. Various flowers were being blown by the gentle winds as the sun's rays were shining on them.
A young man - Jouji Minami (George Kurai) - was looking on the horizon. He had black hair and amber-brown eyes, a handsome face that resembled his adoptive father, Kohtaro Minami. He wears a high school uniform consisting of a dark blue blazer and red necktie, dark blue pants, and black shoes. He was also wearing black and white fingerless gloves on both of his hands, which were both in his pockets.
He was reminiscing about something, trying to recall something, but could not do so.
On another road, there was a young man - Souta Mizushino - who was also looking in the same direction. He had straight brown hair and brown eyes, covered with glasses. He was also wearing the same high school uniform as Jouji.
He was thinking of something, with a troubled expression on his face, like something was wrong.
jiyuu o motome tsuzukeru watashi no tenshi
douzo tonde tsubasa hiroge mirai e to
While I am still searching for freedom, oh my angel, please spread your wings and fly on towards the future.
Jouji would raise the Zi-O Ridewatch, from his right hand, twisting it and pressing a button. The pocketwatch-like device contains an image of a Kamen Rider and the year "2024" dyed in pink.
A Ziku-Driver Belt would begin to materialize on his waistline.
He would begin to insert the Ridewatch on the right side of the slot and it begins to play a standby sound of a clock ticking. For some reason, the Ziku-Driver starts glitching a bit and tilts a bit counterclockwise. An ancient divine power - Kingstone - was starting to illuminate and resonate from within him, through the Ziku-Driver.
A giant holographic clock formed behind him with several different gears around it turning and the clock hands spinning counterclockwise. A visual of a digital clock was seen in the middle of the clock, with the numbers "2024" dyed in pink.
At the same time this was happening, he thought of a certain magical girl - Cure Yell - who was connected to him in more ways than he realized.
She had magenta eyes and slightly wavy hair worn down with a few green hair clips on each side. Above her hair were short and uneven bangs due to a mishap that she did when she was cutting her hair, once a sense of shame, but was now likened to a cherished encapsulated memory that hearkens back to good and bad memories alike.
She was wearing a second-year middle school uniform consisting of a long-sleeved, white-colored shirt covered by a pink shirt. Around the neck was a red tie with two crossing, pink lines. She also wears a grey skirt with white linings, brown suspenders, white stockings, and brown loafers.
Then her image would change to her magical girl form.
Her hair turns light pink and grows longer wavier with a pair of buns on top held by red ribbons and daisies. Her eyes are lighter and have slightly changed shape, with her eyelashes thickening, and she now wears lipstick.
She wears a pink and white midriff top with three white and gold button straps in the middle. Her translucent sleeves are puffy and off-the-shoulder. She also wears light yellow wristbands that resemble pom-poms with light pink ribbons.
Her skirt matches her top and is pleated with a translucent layer and mint green ruffle on top of it. Her PreHeart hangs on her left hip over a pink pompom bow with a white ribbon. She wears short light pink and magenta boots with red bows and yellow pom-pom trim with white thigh-high socks. Her accessories include a pearl headpiece with a pink heart on it and green clover earrings.
As he remembers her, Jouji would bring his arms together and clench both of his hands into tightening fists, with his eyes sparking red as a look of resolve dawned on his face. Then, he would quickly lower his right hand down before bringing up his left arm and straightening it to the front right, while clenching his right hand to a fist.
Then he would move his left arm a few 150 degrees before eventually putting both of his arms straight forward to the right. Then he makes both of his straightened hands facing clockwise to the right.
"Hen...shin!"
Then the Ziku-Driver would begin to automatically spin 340 degrees counterclockwise until it went back to its original position. The Ziku-Driver would slowly change colors into a dark green and black color. Bright reddish and white lights would begin to flicker around the belt. The belt was transforming, and evolving into the Vital Sun Charger Driver. An infinity symbol and an RX symbol were seen above the center of the belt.
Green Earth aura would cover Jouji's entire body.
The holographic clock spins together at the twelfth, forming the twelve and twenty-fourth hour.
The pink katakana letters that spelled "Rider" on the clock would change into red colors. The katakana would pulse outwards, launching them forward as three holographic watch bands encircled around him, forming his armor, on what looked like a mixture of mutation and technology. The bands disappeared a moment later as the armor had formed.
The year of the belt was now glitching. Originally, it spelled "2024" in pink colors. But the numbers changed immediately to "2018" before they changed not a moment later into "1987" and were now carrying red colors. The Zi-O Ridewatch's year number was now changing to "1987" with a glowing red color.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER BLACK ZI-O!
It was a jet-black suit with noticeable fleshly muscle areas on the arms, legs, and neck, where steam was rising out of it, as it created a semi-fog-like atmosphere. It was donning a full body armor of black and dark-green colors. He had black and dark green shoulder pads, black gloves, and black boots. On both of his forearms, attached Ridewatch Holders were carrying two black watches on his right and one on his left. There was a silver Ridewatch that said "Bike" in Japanese, carried by the left holder.
His helmet looked like a clock with a white clock piece with the symbol that spelled "Kamen" on the forehead, along with a silver grasshopper mouthpiece, and a black visor until the katakana flew back and slammed into his visor as it shone brightly in pink colors, before changing instantly into red colors.
On the left side of his chest were golden-colored symbols with an infinity symbol and a modified RX up above it.
Jouji would make a pose that copied his father's example.
"I will never be the Demon King, for I am the Child of the Sun, Protector of the PreCure!"
He declared with a resolute tone as he raised his right hand. Then he would place his left arm near the right arm and his right hand now formed into a clenched fist, forming a cross, before eventually raising his right arm to the left and then straightforwardly with his right index finger raised in an X-like pattern. Then he begins to raise his right arm back to the left and then down to the right as if forming an X gesture, before raising his right arm in a circular gesture before his left fist was clenched, facing forward, and his right fist was clenched and place to the side of his right waist.
"Kamen Rider Black Sun Zi-O!"
Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and Black Woz looked shocked, not expecting this to happen.
Swartz and the other Time Jackers looked shocked, not expecting this to happen.
Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade looked amused and curious.
Nobuhiko Akizuki/Kamen Rider Shadow Moon would look solemnly and with a grim expression underneath.
Grey Woz sported a pleased smile and expression.
tsukare hateta chikyuu wa
nemuri motometeru
kaze no oto ga komoriuta ni kawatte yuku
Earth, completely exhausted,
is longing for some rest.
The sound of the wind changes into a lullaby.
The sacred and beautiful planet Earth (World of Kamen Rider) was shown. Then there was another planet Earth (World of Pretty Cure) that was hovering side by side with it.
And then, 20 AR Rider Worlds would suddenly appear to hover in perfect harmony and encircle the World of Kamen Rider and the World of Pretty Cure.
And in the background of these worlds, two Century Kings of Old would begin to hover menacingly.
And then, there appeared a certain magical girl - Cure Tomorrow - that was connected to Jouji's future.
And then, there appeared another magical girl - Cure Echo - who was praying solemnly.
And then, there appeared another magical girl - Cure Supreme - who watched from a distance.
tsukare hateta chikyuu o
yasumasete agete
yume o mamoru tame ni ikiru
eien no SORUJAA IKUSAA ONE
Please bring repose
to the exhausted Earth,
oh eternal Iczer-1
who live to protect dreams.
Jouji, now as Zi-O, as he rides his sentient motorcycle with red flashing eyes - the Battride Hopper - while the sun hovers on the horizon, driving with a resolve to fight the never battle against evil and darkness, as he remembers the magical girls who inspired him (Pretty Cure), as well as remember the father (Kohtaro Minami/Black RX) who adopted him and would try to follow his example.
