Season 2 Episode 5: Bloodstained Nightmare
血塗られた悪夢
The spotlight pointed down on Chris with the announcer shouting into the mic, "We have a new singing competition champion! Who'll be our next challenger! No need to register!" The room was silent for a moment before someone finally shouted. "We'll do it!" The spotlight lifted and landed on Kirika and Shirabe, making the others gasp. Takiyama, Hibiki, and the others hadn't realized they were there and Seth was shocked to realize who they were when they took off their glasses. Sen just gave a blank stare, seeming to know full well who they were. "We will challenge... the champion dess!" Shirabe and Kirika both said as the screen darkened.

Several relic crystals hovered by the screen, stopping for a few seconds longer on one that held a prominent crack in it. Around them fell various progrise keys, but one hung by the screen, a black key dangling by black ooze.
Onegai kikasete...
(Please, let me hear you...)
Boku wa koko ni iru kara
(Because I'm right here beside you)
The camera zoomed out, showing the silhouette of two figures with their hands clasped, floating in a room of white. They were the silhouette of Hibiki and Takiyama, looking into each other's eyes.
Umareta mama no kanjō wo kakusanai de
(Don't hide your feelings, only through them are you alive)
Hikareau neiro ni riyū nante iranai
(We need no reason for the notes that draw us to each other)
The blackness began to erode away, leaving them both floating in separate spheres of energy. Bodysuits formed around the two, Gungnir's inner wear on Hibiki and Zero-One's base suit on Takiyama. It then changed to Chris and Takuya back to back, nano machine capsules surrounding them as they slowly looked over each other's shoulders to look at each other. In a flash, it changed to Inei and Tsubasa reaching for each other, their fingertips brushing against each other.
Atsuki omoi ten wo tsuranuke true song
(Pierce the heavens with passionate hopes in a true song)
Both Hibiki and Zero-One - Shining Assault Hopper appeared on screen, getting into pose as their silhouettes, orange and blue respectively, became the images behind the title.

Images of Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris appeared alongside each other before flashing to images of Neo-Metsuboujinrai (Horobi, Jin, Naki, and Ikazuchi) all together, Zero-One - Shining Assault Hopper and Slipstream - Soaring Eagle, and lastly Vulcan - Shooting Wolf and Valkyrie - Rushing Cheetah.
Itsu kara darō? Kokyūsuru yō ni
(When, I wonder, did seeking you out?)
The users and rider began appearing in pairs, first starting out with Tsubasa and Horobi, both of their blades down and crossing each other.

仮面ライダー滅 - Kamen Rider Horobi
Dōshite darō? Kimi wo motomeru
(Become as natural as breathing?)
Next was Chris and Vulcan, who stood back to back with their weapons drawn.
