Kamen Rider Ryuki
< Ep 33	Special: 13RIDERS スペシャル 13RIDERS	Ep 34 >

The Kamen Rider Ryuki TV special episode.

Important things that happened

All 13 Kamen Riders appear in this special.
Shinji is simply an ordinary journalist who lacks knowledge about the Riders and Mirror World. This was the case until Shinji is mysteriously dragged into the Mirror World, where he meets the first Kamen Rider Ryuki, Sakakibara Kouichi, who dies after fighting several Mirror Monsters.
After becoming the next Ryuki, Shinji carries on Kouichi's quest in stopping the Rider Battle.
Unwilling to allow Shinji to interfere with the Rider Battle, the Riders form a temporary alliance to kill him.
Knight hesitates to kill Ryuki, which makes him a second target for the other Riders.
Before dying, Ren finally acknowledges Shinji as his friend. He entrusts his Card Deck to Shinji and tells him to fight in his stead.
This special has two endings:
- Ending 1: Shinji continues the Rider Battle in Ren's place as Kamen Rider Knight Survive.
- Ending 2: Shinji destroys the Core Mirror. However, the Rider Battle still resumes.

Ren and Tezuka were once friends in the past, until they became rivals for being both of Eri's boyfriends.
