Ghost Hunter 2018: Geiz vs. Another Ghost

 PLOT

Sougo is thrown down the stairs out of his bedroom while Geiz shouts in rage and tries to attack him. Sougo is chased around the living room and tries to fend Geiz off by holding a chair in front of him. Sougo asks Geiz why he does this, but Geiz says it's obvious that he only agreed to stay with Sougo to eliminate him. Tsukuyomi is awake, Coming downstairs and seeing the turmoil, almost gets hit by a thrown chair. She then marches into the room and confiscates Geiz 's Ziku Driver before he can put it on and angrily shouts at them both to stop fighting now or to break something. Junichiro has breakfast ready and calls everyone to the kitchen, happy to see everyone is so lively today.

Geiz decides to fill his stomach before eliminating Sougo and Sougo confiscates his Ziku driver at the table when Tsukuyomi tries to return it to him out of fear that another fight will break out with his uncle. Sougo is curious about how Geiz has the Ghost Ridewatch, despite not meeting Ghost yet and where he got it. Geiz says it's not a business of his goal, but Tsukuyomi says he stole something and wonders what's going on. He tells Geiz that stealing is bad no matter what the situation is, unless it's a woman's heart, because that's part of romance.

An orange Nissan drives up a hill elsewhere on a rainy road. A figure stands in the middle of the road, the driver panics and tries to stop, only to keep the shadowy figure unharmed and stop the wrecked car dead on its tracks. The passenger in the car gets out and sees it as a monster and screams for help, which Takeru Tenkuji hears and races to the crash. The passenger is struck by a bright orange light emitted from the monster's chest, and the passenger's soul is then sucked out of his body, leaving his mortal shell dead. It is revealed that the soul robbing monsters is Another Ghost. Before Takeru can even chase him or help the people in the car, Kamen Rider Agito appears and stops him!

Sworz, Ora and Huere meet at a bar when Woz shows up. Heure is outraged that Zi- O's ally is here. Woz makes it perfectly clear that he plans to help the Time Jackers freeze time around the bar, so that they can all talk privately. Ora thinks this is some sort of trick to trap them or hinder their efforts in some way, while Sworz realizes that Woz has abandoned Sougo and his friends.

Woz simply sees it as a way to ensure that his lord's path to becoming Ohma Zi- O maintains its proper course. Sworz wonders why they should ally with him and ask if there is anything in it for them. Woz tells Sworz how Geiz is changing time, they all want to eliminate him, so it would be in their best interests to end the life of the young rider before time is changed too much.

In a cycling park, Sougo laughs at a gorilla statue, comparing his face in his mind to a face Geiz made earlier. His fun ends when Another Ghost appears and sucks the souls of one of the cyclists, the apparition mumbles, "I won't let anyone get hurt anymore."

Zi- O tries to use its Zikan Girade to slash Another Ghost, but it uses the invisibility and intangibility of Kamen Rider Ghost to avoid getting hit. Takeru arrives just in time to see the end of the battle, with Another Ghost passing through a concrete pillar to escape and a confused Sougo de- transform. Takeru asks Narita to sneak up and lasso Sougo to take him for questioning, succeeding and dragging him home with them.

Takeru and Narita Confronting Sougo
Another Ghost goes to the bar, where the Time Jackers hang out and asks where he should go next. He tries to prevent accidents before they happen, using the future knowledge that Time Jackers have to change history.

Huere shows him an article from tomorrow's newspaper on his tablet about a lab explosion caused by a gas leak that kills 5 people and injures almost 20 people and directs Another Ghost to that lab. This is revealed to be part of a plan by Woz to draw Geiz and use "a destroyer" to deal with him, asking Ora to try to summon the person he has in mind.

At Daitenku Temple, Sougo is dropped when Takeru and Narita interrogate him. Mika arrives and asks if this person is really with the monster, Sougo says he has no idea what's going on and wants an explanation. Takeru explains that he and his friends are part of the Mysterious Phenomenon Institute, and that the creature

Sougo saw is one they have been tracking since 2015. Mika is her client, and they were called to investigate her case after the monster appeared and her older brother was missing. Mika's brother was a police officer who disappeared one day after she had brought his lunch to him, and the last time she saw him, he pushed her out of the way of some steel girders that fell off a crane. But oddly enough, no body was found. Instead, a monster appeared on the ground a few feet away from the steel girders. Sougo figures, this may involve the Time Jackers, but keeps it to itself.

Takeru tried to capture Another Ghost and almost caught him last night, but a Kamen Rider got in the way. Since it was dark, Takeru couldn't see it wasn't Zi- O, so he thinks Sougo is the rider who interfered and works with Another Ghost. None of Takeru 's friends, Miku or him, believes Sougo when he tries to claim innocence.

Sougo 's phone rings and Narita gives it to him, Tsukuyomi alerts Sougo that Another Ghost is on a rampage, and Geiz is on the way to intercept it. Sougo tells Takeru that Another Ghost attacks and pleads to be let go, so he can try to help. Takeru, sensing Sougo 's honesty, decides to trust him until Sougo talks about wanting to be king after introducing himself. This makes Narita even more suspicious of Sougo and he suggests to Takeru that they leave him there. Takeru reluctantly agrees and Sougo is left tied up and lying in the grass.

Ora finds the man Woz asked for in a lounge chair on an observation deck, Tsukasa Kadoya, and asks him if he is interested in helping them. Tsukasa says he's got the gist of what they want and agrees, taking his camera and heading out.

Geiz goes to the laboratory with the Taka Watchroid, only to meet several bodies on his way to the entrance. Inside, a laboratory worker almost drops some volatile chemicals, and Another Ghost thinks he is the one who started the explosion and attacks him. Geiz arrives in time and transforms.

The two riders fight as Takeru and the company arrive, and Another Ghost calls Mika to see her, staggering towards her. Geiz stops him (after accidentally cutting a gas line) and then uses his Ghost Ridewatch in the Zixan Zax to defeat Another Ghost, revealing that he is Mika's older brother, and it seems that Geiz killed him in the process because he has no pulse.

Takeru confronts Geiz, but time is frozen, and Huere restarts the Another Ghost Ridewatch.

Huere tells Mika, while frozen, that her brother will die, flashing back to 2015 and revealing that he tried to enter into a contract with Makimura to save his sister from death if he became Another Ghost. Surprisingly, Makimura refuses, as he can see right through Huere 's plan, and says that he can save Mika with his own strength and will not be a pawn of evil.

Huere goes away and restarts time, Makimura pushes Mika out of the way and gets crushed under the steel girders. Huere freezes again to prevent Makimura from dying, telling him what good it is to be a hero, if death is his only reward. He activates the Ridewatch and forcibly turns the dying Makimura into another ghost, who breaks free and lumbers off, a walking body driven to save someone.

Huere thinks he did Mika a favor, her brother doesn't have to die at all now, and Makimura punishes those who cause accidents like the one who almost killed her. Huere then revives Makimura as Another Ghost, and Takeru both departs and Geiz overhears this conversation.

Time restarts and Geiz chases them, and Takeru follows him, telling Narita to stay behind and look after Mika. Geiz enters a parking garage only to confront Kamen Rider Agito, who is actually Tsukasa in the form of an Agito Ground Ride and has the Flame Sword briefly equipped.

Geiz tries to fight back with DriveArmor, but Agito 's replicated superhuman powers and enhanced senses outnumber Geiz 's tech-based blind suit, as Tsukasa easily evades Geiz 's super-speed attacks and then sends him flying with a Rider Punch.

Tsukasa then uses a Final Attack Ride Card to execute Agito 's Rider Kick, Geiz 's DriveArmor takes critical damage from the hit that forces him out of his transformation. Takeru tries to help Geiz, but Geiz pushes him aside and tries to stagger at his feet to chase Tsukasa.
Tsukasa says he's gonna fight him again later and walk off. Takeru tries again to help, introduce himself, and ask Geiz if he is a friend of Sougo. Takeru says he regrets how he treated Sougo when he saw the real culprit.

Tsukuyomi meets Geiz and Sougo at the Daitenku Temple, while Takeru is meditating. They compare notes and Takeru and Sougo express sadness about how Mika must feel, knowing that her brother is a walking body, and that the Time Jackers experimented with the dead.
Geiz thinks that the real Kamen Rider Agito is the one who stopped him. But Tsukuyomi and Sougo wonder why a rider is helping the Time Jackers. Geiz proposes a " truce" with Sougo until the matter is settled, which confuses Takeru, which implies that they are enemies.
Sougo figures based on what he heard that Another Ghost is looking for sites of future accidents, asking Tsukuyomi to use her tablet to find future records of one so that they can track it.
Tsukuyomi says that it is against the rules of a responsible time traveler to reveal future events to people of the present( meaning Takeru and his friends), but in this case she will make an exception. She finds another gas leak explosion news report that will take place on the afternoon of December 30, 2018.

Another Ghost arrives at the site of the accident, and Huere seems to instruct him how to use his powers better. By releasing and harvesting the souls he has gathered, Another Ghost can grow stronger. Another Ghost complies, but the rise in power causes him to go berserk, and he randomly attacks civilians.
Takeru takes Tsukuyomi to safety while Geiz and Sougo change into their Rider forms and battle Another Ghost. Zi-O tries to reach through to Makimura, telling him to cast away his power and snap out of it, but Huere goads him to continue as Zi-O is destined to be the greatest evil that ever walked the Earth and will kill millions.

This irritates Makimura and he continues to fight. Both Zi-O and Giez turn into GaimArmor and WizardArmor to try and stop Makimura. To prevent Huere from further influencing Makimura, Zi-O deploys the Kodama Ridewatch to drive him off with the little robot spitting "seed bullets" on him.

After weakening Another Ghost, Geiz lends Zi- O his Ghost Ridewatch, so that Zi- O can equip GhostArmor. Takeru sees his old rider's powers and smiles. Just as they are about to finish Another Ghost with a double attack on Finish Time, Huere appears again and says Makimura will die if they try to defeat him.
Their hesitation leads to an opening for Tsukasa to appear and attack again as Agito Ground, striking them with the Flame Saber. Geiz gets knocked out of his transformation and to mess with them, Tsukasa turns into Kamen Rider Hibiki using his cards, confusing the young people as to who this rider is.

Tsukasa wants to defeat the " supposed evil overlord" and double teams with Another Ghost, overcome Zi- O and then defeat him with the Final Attack Ride Hibiki card by immobilizing him and using Ongeki attacks to blast off his armor.
Tsukasa thinks that Sougo was a threat, and Huere tells Another Ghost to do " it." Another Ghost uses Sougo 's soul removal powers, but Takeru interferes and uses a technique to push Sougo 's extracted soul away from Another Ghost.
Upon interfering, Huere orders another ghost to harvest Takeru 's soul, but Tsukasa says they have done enough for today and convinced them to leave.

Tsukuyomi rushes to Sougo 's body, only to find it has no pulse and does not breathe. Takeru, being a ghost hunter, sees Sougo 's soul lying on a flight of steps away from his body. Sougo naturally freaks out and then gets depressed that he is now a spirit, and Takeru is the only one who can see him.

Ora meets Tsukasa again in his chair, asking why he didn't eliminate his targets, for which she hired him. Tsukasa says he was just trying to get a good reading of what he was dealing with, that's all. He'll finish the job later.

Ora is impressed and offers to help make him a king, but Tsukasa is not interested in such things as he is just passing through Kamen Rider and the Destroyer of the Worlds. Tsukasa then pulls his Decade Ridewatch out of his suit pocket and examines it, ending the episode.
