When Sieg finally got his physical form, he had no memory of the contract's nature, and took his "brother" out of a truck when Ryutaros found him and brought him onto the DenLiner. Sieg, acting like a prince, orders the others to aid him in finding his "mother." When Momotaros refuses with intent to beat him, Sieg shrinks him, Urataros, and Kintaros to around four inches in height and leaves with Hana. Meanwhile, Akio Matsuda, who had kidnapped the baby, Yūsuke, opens a contract with the Scorpion Imagin to find the mother, while Yuto and Deneb watch from a distance. With some unexpected assistance from Ozaki, Hana discovers the location of the mother, Shiori, at which Yuto and Deneb have followed the Scorpion Imagin. They soon spot S-Ryotaro approaching the building as Sieg had remembered everything, and they are approached by the police who believe that he is the kidnapper. When the Scorpion Imagin attacks the Shiori, Sieg leaves, and Ryotaro goes to save the mother as Den-O, only for the Scorpion Imagin to escape after nearly killing them both. Ryotaro assures Shiori that Yūsuke is safe, and she passes out, just as the police arrive to take Ryotaro into custody. |||||

| After being arrested by the police, Ryotaro is questioned on his involvement with the kidnapping of baby Yūsuke Takayama. During the interrogation, Momotaros, Urataros, and Kintaros attempt to help him, as he has no knowledge of the event. On the DenLiner, Hana and Yuto try to understand what is going on, and Hana tries to talk some sense into Sieg about what he has done to Ryotaro. Hana tells him that a master has to take care of his servants, and with a slap, Sieg develops new respect for Hana and begins calling her Princess. Sieg manages to speak through Yūsuke to convince Shiori Takayama to acquit Ryotaro. Ryotaro is then brought to the Takayama mansion to be thanked, with Sieg possessing him with intent to live the good life forever. However, because he opened a contract with someone with very little memory like baby Yūsuke, Sieg begins to dissolve away. He goes to say goodbye to Yūsuke, but he is interrupted by the Scorpion Imagin's second attempt to bring Shiori to his contractor. Before Yuto can intervene, S-Ryotaro transforms into Kamen Rider Den-O Wing Form, managing to knock the Scorpion Imagin down. However, Sieg's dwindling strength allows the Scorpion to escape with Shiori. Sieg asks Ryotaro to save his mother, as he follows the Scorpion Imagin back in time to February 22, 2002, the day that Akio Masuda was fired by the Takayama family. Den-O fights the Scorpion Imagin as Rod Form and then Ax Form, and defeats him with a Dynamic Chop. Back on the DenLiner, Sieg continues to waste away until Ryotaro returns and shows the Owner a Rider Ticket bearing Sieg's image and the date June 1, 1997, that he got after using a Rider Ticket on Shiori. In reality, Sieg had already fulfilled a contract with the mother, before forging his contract with Yūsuke. Thanks to this, the DenLiner arrives on the day of Shiori's wedding, and Sieg leaves the DenLiner to live happily in the past. |||||

A sleepy Ryotaro then finds himself seeing a Pteranodon and several Brachiosaurus until Yuto uses an aerosol of sleeping gas to knock Ryotaro out, with him seeing Urataros as he enters his body. By the time he wakes up, Ryotaro believes what had happened was only dream, too drowsy to notice the dinosaur tracks on his wall. At the Milk Dipper, he tells Hana about the dream, and when she confronts Urataros, he knows nothing, and the others say that she should ask Yuto. Ryotaro helps Airi mind and decorate the Milk Dipper for a group of students, serving Yuto while asking him about his dream, that Yuto also knows nothing about. Miura arrives to tell Airi that he injured himself, and she leaves Ryotaro to mind the shop, and after a fight with Deneb, Yuto agrees to help by decorating with the various star-shaped balloons Airi had inflated. Deneb stands outside to watch, unaware of a second Deneb briefly chasing a group of ninjas. When Deneb notices a shuriken thrown into the door, Hana takes him away to question him and learns that he knows nothing. When a customer arrives, both Yuto and Ryotaro notice that the man is an Imagin's contract holder. They follow him to a local hospice while Hana and Naomi watch over the Milk Dipper along with Ozaki. When the Spider Imagin attacks, intent on granting his contract holder's wish for his sister to see a starry sky, Yuto is on his own as Ryotaro had been abducted by Deneb into the timestream. Deneb appears to take the Spider Imagin away from the room as Yuto is forced to fight himself, defeating the Spider Imagin easily in Zeronos Vega Form. As for Ryotaro, he finds himself on the ZeroLiner with another Yuto, who takes him to see the "Climax Scene", witnessing a battle between Zeronos and another Kamen Rider as well as the Tarōs fighting several ninjas until a giant train erupts from a cave. |||||

Back in the present, an irate Yuto is intent to find Ryotaro for ditching him when Deneb tells him that a second Spider Imagin is still on the loose. Yuto charges Deneb with the task of safeguarding the girl while he himself confronts the worrisome Hana and the Tarōs on the train about Ryotaro's disappearance, only for Ryotaro to appear with a katana and several other Edo artifacts on his person. He asks Yuto why he was taken to the past by Deneb, but Yuto says that that would be impossible and the Owner reveals that such time travel would be both possible and impossible. They both go back to the hospital to watch over the Imagin's contractor and his sister in case the Spider were to attack, again, and they discuss the issues behind Ryotaro's disappearance, with a second Yuto listening. The Spider Imagin blasts an electrical tower, causing a blackout for the whole city, and this allows Mayu Aoki to see the starry sky, completing the Spider Imagin's contract with her brother. Yuto has Ryotaro go back in time to stop the Imagin, and once Ryotaro leaves on the DenLiner, Yuto is confronted by another version of himself. In the past, the Spider Imagin begins destroying various buildings, until Den-O appears, and Ryutaros begins to fight as Gun Form.

Ryotaro returns to the present, where he and Yuto watch over the brother and sister in Kibōgahara. Then, Ryotaro is abducted by Deneb and the other Yuto, who interfered with Den-O's fight, to travel back in time, again.

They are interrupted by a sleepwalking Ryotaro, and then by M-Ryotaro taking control and about to beat them up until Airi's coming in allowed the would-be thieves off to retreat, both unaware of being followed by the Molech Imagin and another Imagin yet to have physical form. The next day, Shōichi Ike, one of the burglars, is cornered by the Molech Imagin who had possessed his partner Hiroshi Katō, before being possessed by the Bloodsucker Imagin. While the two Imagin discuss their plan, Ryotaro, Airi, Yuto, Ozaki, Miura, Hana, along with Momotaros, Urataros, and Kintaros (in mascot costumes) have a stakeout at the Milk Dipper in case the burglars come back, having a sleepover. On the morning of August 4, Ike, once again, tries to enter the Milk Dipper, but he wakes Urataros who alerts everyone to the man's entry. The wide awake Hana and Yuto give chase while Urataros takes control of Ryotaro to help on the DenBird. When they catch Ike, he reveals that he was trying to retrieve a stash of jewels hidden in the Milk Dipper from a successful robbery in 2000, while his partner Katō is attempting to steal a rare necklace from Hope Jewelry with the Molech Imagin possessing him. U-Ryotaro and Hana go to deal with the Molech Imagin, while Yuto deals with Ike, realizing he too has a contract with an Imagin, as well. He chases Ike, running into the Bloodsucker Imagin who reveals that they planned to draw Ryotaro out. Yuto is forced to fight the Bloodsucker Imagin until the Molech Imagin succeeds in going back in time. Ryotaro pursues the Imagin to May 8, 2000, the day of the robbery where Katō is arrested. Den-O Sword Form destroys the Molech Imagin, though he delighted in the fact that he succeeded in his mission: distracting Den-O long enough for the DenLiner to be hijacked by his master, Gaoh. With these recent events, Yuto must go back in time to get reinforcements from past iterations of Ryotaro to fight Gaoh and prevent him from destroying all time. |||||

| After defeating Gaoh, the DenLiner gang celebrate their victory until Ryotaro remembers that Yuto mentioned he had been fighting an Imagin prior to their foray into the Edo period. Ryutaros, however, starts to get a sinking feeling as he and everyone notice that he, Urataros, and Kintaros are starting to dissolve. Ryotaro comes upon the Bloodsucker Imagin attacking people that have the stolen jewelry. Ryotaro assumes Ax Form, but he is unable to maintain it in the fight with Urataros attempting to jump in. Momotaros managed to get in and nearly defeats the Bloodsucker Imagin, until he is knocked into the water. Once Ryotaro returns to the DenLiner, the Owner reveals that Urataros, Kintaros, and Ryutaros are fading away due to the fact that Ryotaro only remembers the Climax Scene as Sword Form, thus why Momotaros is solely unaffected. Furthermore, there is no way to stop the deterioration like with Sieg. The three Tarōs seem to accept their fate, as a heart-broken Ryotaro runs off of the DenLiner. At the Milk Dipper, Yuto is being served coffee until a disguised Deneb reveals the situation to him. Hana tries to find Ryotaro, and succeeds, although he is trying to make his body stronger for the Imagin to save them. He remembers the good times he had with them, until he suddenly hears their final words in his mind as they disappeared. When he returns to the DenLiner, only Momotaros is left. Ryotaro begins trailing sand which the Owner states as the remains of Urataros and the others. Taking the Owner's advice, Ryotaro picks up some of the sand, reacting to his wish for all of them to be together and assuming the form of a cellphone, the K-Taros, as Ryotaro's way to stay in touch. Momotaros chalks it up to Ryotaro's lack of sense, to which a sadden Ryotaro simply agrees. Elsewhere, the Bloodsucker Imagin completed its contract and travels to May 20, 2000, attacking people until an upset Ryotaro arrives and begins to fight as Den-O Sword Form. However, the Bloodsucker Imagin is too strong for Sword Form to handle by himself. In the fight, Momotaros went berserk until the red cellphone starts ringing, and Urataros is on the other end. He tells Momotaros to put in the code "3-6-9-#", which makes the other Imagin speak from the phone before Den-O assumes Climax Form just as Yuto arrives. Den-O finishes off the Imagin with his Boistous Kick attack. Later the group celebrates the return of Urataros and the others until Hana punches Momotaros out of the DenLiner. |||||

Later, it is revealed that Airi is supporting a courage test at the new haunted attraction that has opened up in town, with the prize being having a spot of tea with her. Ryotaro sets up his own prize by allowing the Tarōs to take full control of his body for a whole day if they win, planning to perfect their teamwork in that fashion. While Ryotaro waits in line with Hana and a nervous Deneb, learning that the closed Fureaichou School happened to be where a murder was said to had occurred, a man named Machida is watching the people entering with an Imagin behind him. After Hana was disqualified for being easily scared by the first "zombie", whom she decked out, U-Ryotaro goes in and casually walks through the various "ghouls" until Momotaros takes over to speed it up. But once scared by a small chihuahua statuette, Kintaros takes over, only to open a door to a disqualifying room with Ryutaros upset that he does not have his turn. While the Tarōs argue over who is to blame, Machida enters the building as the Wasp Imagin attacks those who got to the classroom checkpoint. By the time Momotaros sensed the Imagin and Ryotaro gets to Machida, the contract is already complete and the Imagin travels back to December 5, 2005, when Machida committed manslaughter. Meanwhile, Deneb contacted Yuto about the Wasp Imagin, but during his call panics over a frightening part of the exhibit. Deneb's silence after the call forced Yuto to waste one of his two last cards, only to find Deneb alright. Ryotaro goes back in to fight the Wasp Imagin in Plat Form, convincing the Tarōs to go Climax Form. Though the quartet are unable to at first, it was their need to help Ryotaro that allowed them to achieve Climax Form and destroy the Wasp Imagin with Boistous Punch. Back the present, it turns out the "victim" was the neighborhood chairman, who staged the attraction to drive Machida out. With only one Zeronos card left, Yuto is upset and Deneb blames himself for the situation, leaving Yuto in shame. |||||

By the time they got back, Airi realizes that this is Fujishiro, who she had known when she was younger and he is also the owner of the company that she is indebted to. Fujishiro offers Airi a way to get rid of her massive debt: becoming his wife. Fujishiro leaves so Airi can decide, to which Airi follows to settle things. Miura and Ozaki are angered that Airi may accept the man's offer, as is Ryutaros, who nearly possesses Ryotaro before he is talked out of it on the promise of calling him.

Meanwhile, Kai psychically tells the Oct Imagin to complete his contract first before killing Yuto. The next day, D-Yuto retrieves the coat, but soon spends time with Shōko at the city zoo with Ryotaro following them until the Oct Imagin resumes his attack.
