Plot



'Decade: The Last Story'

Accepting his fate as the destroyer of worlds, Tsukasa Kadoya fights and traps Riders from across the multiverse in cards. He receives help from Yuriko Misaki before they encounter Natsumi Hikari and Yusuke Onodera, who intend to stop Kadoya through different means. She attempts to make Kadoya remember who he was, but he rebuffs her and leaves with Misaki to fight Onodera. Natsumi becomes crestfallen until Kivala reminds her that only the former can stop Kadoya and the latter can give her the power to do so.

Meanwhile, Natsumi's grandfather Enjiro Hikari meets with his friend Ryu, who secretly gives him the Doctor Death Gaia Memory and transforms him into Super Doctor Death. Joined by the mysterious Narutaki as Colonel Zol and Bee Woman, they form Super Shocker to take advantage of Kadoya's work via the Neo Organism.

Daiki Kaito confronts Kadoya, revealing Misaki was killed by Bee Woman years ago despite Misaki's attempts to deny it. After Kadoya defeats Onodera and the multiverse's remaining Riders, Natsumi uses Kivala to transform into Kamen Rider Kivala and fight him. Kadoya allows her to kill him before giving her his cards, asking her to remember them before he dies. Kaito joins her as they are teleported to Wataru Kurenai, who reveals Kadoya's actions restored the multiverse because he created memories that allowed their stories to continue. When Natsumi asks about Kadoya, Kurenai says the latter had no story and that he fulfilled his purpose. After being returned to her reality, Natsumi and Kaito attempt to revive Kadoya via his camera, but are attacked by Super Shocker. Kaito, Misaki, and a revived Onodera hold them off while Natsumi finds Kadoya's camera. After Misaki sacrifices herself to wound her, Bee Woman returns to Super Shocker's Super Crisis Fortress to release the Neo Organism, who absorbs her and transforms into Doras.

Natsumi tries to develop Kadoya's photographs, but his face does not appear in any of them. She passes the camera to Kaito and Onodera, who refuse to forget him. With the Nine Worlds' Riders' memories of Kadoya, their memories successfully revive him. As the Super Crisis Fortress takes off, Kadoya, Kaito, Natsumi, Onodera, and the Nine Worlds' Riders join forces to defeat Colonel Zol and Doras. The Neo Organism reverts to its original form and deploys a mammoth robot to attack the Riders.

'W: Begins Night'

In flashbacks, Detective Sokichi Narumi and his protg Shotaro Hidari infiltrated a secret installation in search of the "chosen child", whose powers were being used for evil. As the alarm sounds, Sokichi fought the guards while Hidari followed a mysterious young man, who revealed he can create Gaia Memories. However, Hidari inadvertently gets the young man captured. Sokichi rejoined Hidari and berated him before they locate the young man again. Sokichi offered him freedom and named him Philip after his favorite fictional character, Philip Marlowe. Sokichi rescued Philip, but is killed by the guards. With his last breath, he asked Hidari to finish the case and take care of Philip before the pair transform into Kamen Rider W to defeat the guards and escape the collapsing building.

In the present, Hidari recalls his first Christmas with Sokichi until the detective's daughter, Akiko Narumi, interrupts him to help her and the Fuuto Irregulars decorate their office. Pop star Asami Mutsuki arrives to seek their help after being apparently haunted by her sister and former partner's ghost, Erika. Hidari and Philip take the case, much to the Irregulars' dismay. While investigating, Hidari and Akiko visit Erika's grave and speak with the cemetery's caretaker, Father Roberto Shijima, who Hidari finds suspicious because of Shijima's views on resurrection.

Hidari and Akiko learn Asami canceled the case. The pair chase her but are attacked by the Death Dopant. Hidari joins Philip to transform and fight the Dopant, but they are confronted by Sokichi. Caught off-guard, Hidari struggles to fight back while Philip tries to remind him that Sokichi is dead before he defeats them and warns them not to interfere. While recovering, a shaken Hidari attempts to quit, but Akiko persuades him otherwise. The next day, Hidari and Philip return to the installation to recall the night their journey together began. The pair resume their investigation and conclude Shijima is the culprit.

Akiko follows Asami and learns the latter canceled the case in exchange for Shijima reuniting her with Erika. Realizing they know his true identity, he attempts to trap the women only for Hidari and Philip to save them. Shijima transforms into the Death Dopant before disappearing to seemingly summon Sokichi. Realizing his mentor was not a heartless man, a resolute Hidari and Philip defeat Sokichi, who reverts to Shijima's true Dopant form, the shapeshifting Dummy Dopant. Before Hidari and Philip can destroy his Gaia Memory, the Sonozaki family distract them while Shijima escapes, though Hidari and Philip pursue him.

'Movie War 2010'

While escaping from the Neo Organism's Mammoth Mecha and the Super Crisis Fortress, Kadoya encounters Hidari and Philip while they are chasing Shijima. The three Riders stop briefly and recognize each other from their last encounter before joining forces with Kaito, Natsumi, Onodera, and the Nine Worlds' Riders to destroy the Super Crisis Fortress. While attempting to escape, the fortress' destruction causes the Doctor Death Memory to eject itself and revert Enjiro before Natsumi rescues him.

While the Neo Organism absorbs Shijima and transforms into Ultimate D, Kadoya, Hidari, and Philip successfully destroy it. As the Riders return to their respective realities, Kadoya uses his interdimensional powers to briefly summon an alternate reality version of Sokichi to give Hidari closure. Kadoya is joined by Kaito, Onodera, and the Hikaris on his continuing journey through the multiverse while Hidari, Philip, and their allies resume their party. Meanwhile, Ryu Terui proclaims W is not the only Kamen Rider in Fuuto anymore.
