Introduction

The strongest Kamen Rider returns once more. The men who defined an era come back after 20 years, and the legend continues into the future.

The Masked Rider System, developed by ZECT to fight the Worms, once led humanity to victory. However, that victory may not have been the end.

Now, in a world where humans and Worms coexist, ZECT has resumed operations. New Masked Riders emerge, and the question remains: who will inherit heaven?
