==Plot==
Megumi continues to ask Shinji how he walked out of the glass. Shinji after reluctantly trying to deny it, tells Megumi not to tell anyone about it. After returning home, Shinji tells Ren about her seeing him but Ren tells Shinji to not involve him. Reiko, after being confused of Professor Potratz's whereabouts shows the Chief Editor (Daisuke) the camera footage of the day Takeshi broke out of prison and Shiro's reflection in the mirror. Reiko and the Editor make the link between Shiro, the disappearances of the people, and Takeshi's breakout. Meanwhile, A bank robber is attacked by a monster who electrifies him and hence kills him. The next morning, the police and reporters are at the bank investigating where the culprit has gone. Shinji hears a monster and runs off as Megumi follows him. He is unable to transform as Megumi keeps following but due to a distraction, he is able to safely transform and enter Mirror World before Megumi sees him. The monster quickly runs off ending the rather short encounter. Megumi walks away from his Mirror just as he comes out meaning that she doesn't see him. After encountering each other again, Megumi tells Shinji that she knows his secret and that she is going to expose it at the office. At the Cafe, Yui collapses, and begins to fade, similar to what the Riders experience when they have spent too long in Mirror World. Megumi arrives back at the office and performs a magician's disappearing act on Nanako using mirrors believing that a magic act is how Shinji was able to pass through glass. Reiko inspects the magic act prop using mirrors and makes a connection between mirrors and the disappearing people. Shiro meanwhile visits Shuichi who asks him if he will stop fighting or not. Shuichi says that he will continue fighting but there are many ways to win, one of which is letting your foes destroy each other. Goro, who is outside, spots Takeshi and chases after him. Shiro also visits Eri (Ren's girlfriend) whose heart rate begins to increase rapidly. Shinji who is traveling, senses a monster and enters Mirror World to fight the monster. However, the monster electrocutes him gaining the advantage in the battle. Ryuki calls Dragreder who brings the advantage back to him. He then manages to destroy the monster with a Final Vent. Ren who is now at the hospital learns that Eri is near death by a mere few days and Yui continues to fade and is also suffering from dizzy spells. Shuichi and Takeshi also meet and prepare to fight. Finally, at Seimeiin University, a dark room with Mirrors reveals a new Rider with a Tiger sigil on his Deck.
