==Synopsis==
A Gifftarian is the incarnation of a devil created through the consumption of a human life! Ikki rages against Orteca before the notion he is willing to create more devils that are inseparable from their human hosts via the Giff Stamp! 
However, Ikki's resolve has now become clearer as he rushes to eliminate this Phase 3 danger through the powers of Volcano and Barid Rex! However, his newfound power becomes a double-edged sword as Ikki is consumed by the infernal fires of his transformation as he rages! Meanwhile, Orteca sets his target on Julio in a retaliatory attempt against him...!
==Plot==
The episode starts off with Ikki standing against Orteca, who taunted that his powers are not enough to save the victims from Giff's powers. Angered, Ikki charges toward Orteca until he bursts into flames, shocking his allies. Ikki ends up hospitalized with his bandaged burns, then was visited by his family, along with the intangible Vice. Ikki apologizes for his recklessness when he couldn't save anyone from turning into Gifterians. 
Julio turns to Sakura for his concern about Aguilera's well-being. In exchange, Sakura wants Julio to meet his old classmate once more since their previous encounter. 
Karizaki visits Ikki and warns that the Volcano Vistamp may indeed not be enough to separate the humans from the Gifterians, and may result in Ikki's death. Despite this information, Karizaki ensures he would do his best in his end of the situation involving his inventions.
Julio encounters his old friend who wanted to apologize for the actions that caused their friendship to break apart. It was then revealed that Tamaki left a previous destination where the boys were supposed to hang out before Julio moved away, and was shocked by the passing scene of Yosuke getting beaten up. Julio wants to apologize as well, until Yosuke gets stamped by Orteca using the Giff Vistamp. The last thing Yosuke said before his demise was to "smile." In a rage, Julio becomes Wolf Deadman Riot, attacking his surroundings.
During his hospitalization, Ikki reflects on his belief on selflessness while serving as a Kamen Rider. Deflecting assumptions of getting mad at his host, Vice assures that he and Ikki and one in the same, that they are inseparable. This empowers Ikki to put his trust in Vice, especially when they witnessed an explosion outside the hospital window. The duo also revisit Karizaki to retrieve the Volcano Vistamp. 
As Kamen Rider Jeanne, Sakura tries to tackle Julio in his Deadman Riot form along with Kamen Rider Live. While Julio rages over Orteca, Ikki and Vice transform into Revi Volcano Rex and Vice Barid Rex respectively. The duo then proceed to battle the Wolf Deadman Riot and eventually succeed in separating Julio from his monster form, rendering him as a normal civilian. From perspective, Julio allowed it to happen while reminding himself of his late friend. 
Along with Sakura and Daiji, Ikki and Vice witness Julio's near death from Orteca's wrath until the timely intervention of Aguilera. Aguilera tells him to smile, driving him to tears. After changing to Queen Bee Deadman form, she brings Julio to evade. Ikki tells the skeptical Vice that it was okay to let the pair leave, as Julio would never betray Aguilera.
Back at the Fenix Skybase, Akaishi marvels at the pulsation coming from the Giff tomb, which gathered new essence from a extinguished Deadman. In another room, Hiromi is examined by Fenix's nurse, Akemi, who warns him of his physical deterioration from the Demons Driver.
Ikki was given a piggyback courtesy of Vice, who eventually wanted to trade places. The episode ends with Vice taunting his limping partner as Sakura and Daiji try to end the comical banter.
