Synopsis
Samuel Thomas seems like an ordinary high school student, but one thing he has different is that he has dreams of becoming a king! One day, a mysterious young man appeared before him with a prophecy. "Congratulations! Today is a special day for you..." As Samuel is told these words, a giant red robot suddenly appears before him! This robot was a time machine, and Samuel was thrust across various timelines! In the year 2000, the battle of the Main Era Rider's fate, and Samuel's fate in his own birth year, is about to begin...!

Continuity and Placement

Plot
In the year 2068, humanity is under the ruthless iron fist of King Time Turner. One day, a massive battle waged by the resistance breaks out, however King Time Turner slaughters them effortlessly with his seemingly omnipotent powers. Fed up with this hopeless situation, a fighter, George Mace, goes back to the past in the hope of destroying the man behind King Time Turner's identity.

In the year 2018, we meet Samuel Thomas, a third year high-school student that wants to become a king. With such a childish dream, he is often teased by his friends at school. One day, he found a strange object and wisely decided to leave it. Back at home, Jarrett asks again about Samuel's seemingly unreachable dream of becoming a king in this age, abandoning even his future educations.

Later, when Samuel is on the road, he meets a mysterious person that read from a book about his future. Before Samuel knows what this is about, he is attacked by a strange red robot, but later saved by another robot, this time black in color. Inside he met Tara, a girl from the future. Tara reveals that 50 years later, Samuel becomes a ruthless King. A conflicted Sougo went out from the robot, but attacked by a Tyrannosaurus, for they went to the Cretaceous era to escape the red robot. Tara saved him yet again, and this time they went to hide in the Edo era.

Samuel asks Tara again about his future, and she reveals that everyone in the future knows about him. She also warns Samuel about the strange object, a Power Watch (that somehow is back on Samuel's possession), that its power is great and too dangerous. Their discussion is interrupted by a fight nearby, and Tara pushes Samuel to cease the conflict. But alas, Samuel is too timid to break the fight and he is thrown into a river, concluding the fight. Tara began to wonder if Samuel is really the ruthless King, as he doesn't have kingly charisma. But suddenly, a red armored warrior appears and chase them!

Tara said that the red warrior is actually George, her friend from the resistance. He wants to destroy Samuel before he become Time Turner, but Tara doesn't agree and went to Samuel to guide him into a benevolent ruler instead. George attacks Tara's Time Mazine again, and in the confusion, Samuel is thrown into a hole in time-space...

After coming to, Sougo sees a huge wall in the horizon. As he ponders, a strange lifeform attacks him! Luckily, two armored warriors came to save him. The two later reveals themselves as Seth Keegan, Power Rider DNA and Ryan Barone, Power Rider Draco. Seth took Samuel to his base of operations, the cafe nascita and Sougo realizes that he's now in the year 2017. Seth is surprised that Samuel came from the future, but before he asks anything, Tara appears and shot the three of them into unconsciousness, as Samuel isn't supposed to interact with the past. Samuel wakes up back in his house and told his uncle about his adventures before, citing it all as a dream.

Back in 2017, at some part of the city, a basketball player is about to struck by a speeding car until he is saved by a mysterious person. He is Huere, and he told the player that he's supposedly hit by the car today. Heure told the player that he can change his fate with his help, and the player agrees. He is then gifted with a Twist Watch, and Heure declared that the player will become Power Rider DNA!

In 2018, the monster, using DNA's ability, attacked his former schoolmates and sucks them into an Empty Tank. Hearing a ruckus, Samuel arrived and tossed mercilessly by the monster, for he's just a normal human. Tara comes to help and fight the monster in his place instead, so that Samuel won't use the Power Watch to fight. Then, the mysterious man appears again, that Tara indentifies as Tempus, and says to Samuel that his dream to become a king can only be achieved if he stands up and fight now. Of course Tara doesn't agree, because if Samuel choose to fight, he will surely become the Dark King in the future!

Samuel then declares that he will become a King, but he will become the most nice and kind King ever! Proud of his choice, Tempus presents Samuel a Time Spinner and Samuel transforms to Power Rider Time Turner! Samuel then defeats the monster with his newfound powers.

Then, George appears yet again as he finally found his enemy! He transforms into his Rider form, and using Phantom Burst Power Watch, equips PhantomBurstArmor as he proceeds to attack Zi-O...
