Plot
Waking up from a strange dream where he extracted Kamen Rider Ex-Aid's power, Sento and Ryga are alerted to a Smash attack and find themselves instead encountering Bugsters immune to their attacks until Sento uses the newly created Doctor and Game Fullbottles to transform into Ex-Aid. But a blue-armored figure called Kaiser appears and steals the bottles which Sento retrieves while Ryga is thrown into a machine that sends him to a parallel world where the Skywall does not exist. Suddenly, Sento's world shifts between dimensions and appears next to the other world, spreading hordes of Bugsters in both. With Emu unable to transform into Ex-Aid, his fellow Riders take the initiative against the Bugsters before they are confronted by the red-armored Kaiser Reverse, revealing that the Bugsters epidemic is fuel for his machine Enigma as it and its counterpart in Sento's world seals the powers of the Gamer Drivers and Gashats. Kaiser Reverse then attempts to kill Emu's group when he is driven off by Kamen Rider Ghost, who reveals their world will be destroyed in 24 hours.
Meanwhile, Sento is attacked by Parad, who affirms that he spent the last two years looking for Build in his world to get back Ex-Aid's essence. Their fight is stopped by Sichi, who reveals that the culprit must be Kaisei Mogami, a researcher who once published a paper about the development of a trans-dimensional machine called Enigma. Parad uses Game Fullbottle to contact Emu and inform him about the situation while Sichi gives the Phoenix and Robot Fullbottles to Sento. Kuroto, having developed a new Gashat with data from his previous fight against Build to briefly regain his powers, is convinced by Onari to create more for the other Doctor Riders, while Sento and Sawa discover that Mogami once worked under Takumi Katsuragi on Enigma while also developing the Kaiser System and synthetizing the Nebula Bugsters by exposing the Bugster Virus to Nebula Gas. Sento while concludes that Takumi was the one who extracted Ex-Aid's essence, but its perplexed over how the event appeared in his dreams.
As Sento and Parad fight the Nebula Bugsters to protect the population, Kaiser attempts to stop them before being driven away by Build PhoenixRobo Form. The two then track down his hideout with Misora's help and Sento concludes that Takumi stole Ex-Aid's powers to prevent them from being sealed as well, as a countermeasure against Enigma. With the new Kamen Rider Build Gashat created by Kuroto, Taiga, Hiiro and Kiriya join Takeru against the Nebula Bugsters, while a cliff suddenly opens and Ryga is about to fall on it, when Eiji Hino appears and assists Emu in rescuing him. Eiji then reveals that Foundation X is working with their reality's Kaisei Mogami to develop their side's Enigma and the three set out to confront him at his base, while Sento confronts his world's Mogami who is rendered a cyborg after Takumi's attempt to stop him. Mogami is then joined by his dimensional counterpart, the two revealing their intention to cause a convergence between the worlds while merging into a single god-like being: Bi-Kaiser. Bi-Kaizer uses Core Medals developed by Foundation X to create replica Greed to hold off the Kamen Riders, Eiji using an Ankh clone to revive the original and regain his ability to fight as Kamen Rider OOO while Kamen Riders Fourze and Gaim help Sento and Emu reach the Enigma machines on their respective worlds. Sento concludes that the best way to solve the situation is by prematurely activating the Enigmas with Bi-Kaiser left at only a fraction of his power, restoring Emu's powers while their allies face Bi-Kaiser's forces. Build and Ex-Aid confront and destroy Bi-Kaiser along with the Enigma machines, stopping the convergence and parting ways once the dimensional barrier is restored. After the battle, Onari is welcomed back in the Daitenk-ji temple while Ankh's vessel fades away with Eiji promising that they will meet again.
In the post credits, Sento and Ryga confront several Guardians from Faust when a mysterious Rider appears and steals the Phoenix and Robot Fullbottles from Sento, as he flees, he claims that the Bottles belonged to Hokuto in the first place, and affirms that he will soon return.
