Biography[]
When Reika asked what they should do about the emergence of the new Kamen Rider Calibur and the books he had sealed, Ryoga Shindai appeared to suggested they just defeat Calibur and claim the Abyssal Blade.
After Rintaro discovered the full extent of the conspiracy within Sword of Logos, Ryoga Shindai was summoned by Master Logos to deal with Rintaro. Transforming into Kamen Rider Durendal, Ryoga easily outclassed and defeated Rintaro as Kamen Rider Blades, teleporting outside Master Logos' throne room to finish him. Before Durendal could land the finishing blow however, Touma Kamiyama entered the base with help from Yuri and went to confront Durendal to assist Rintaro. However, Durendal then threatened to kill Rintaro if Touma did not hand over his Wonder Ride Books. Not wanting to lose his friend, Touma ultimately gave in and handed over his books, only for Durendal to proclaim he would kill Rintaro anyway. It was then that Yuri attacked Durendal, giving Touma an opportunity to take back his books and save Rintaro. Before the two could get away however, Durendal ambushed Touma from behind and injured him. Touma then handed the Elemental Dragon book over to Rintaro, who used it to hold off Durendal and allow him and Yuri to escape with Touma.
Ryoga Shindai was later sent alongside his sister to attack Northern Base and steal their portion of the Book of Ancients. Teleporting inside, Ryoga and Reika assumed their Rider forms to do battle against the Northern Base Riders. At the same time Durendal and Sabela began their attack, Storious and Zooous also assaulted the base, leading Saber and Saikou to hold off the two Southern Base Riders while their allies went to deal with the Megiddo. As the Northern and Southern Base Riders fought, Touma questioned what Master Logos was planning to do with the Book of Ancients, to which Ryoga proclaimed that they did not need to know and that their cause was just.
Touma then asked why they were attacking alongside the Megiddo and if they were working together, but Ryoga and Reika seemed confused by this and believed Touma was trying to trick them. While Reika snuck off, Ryoga stayed behind to deal with both Touma and Yuri. Ryoga initially was able to gain the upper hand with his time manipulation abilities, but after Touma deduced how Durendal's abilities worked he was able to fight Ryoga on more even footing. It was then that Master Logos contacted Ryoga and summoned him and Reika back to Southern Base. Upon their return, Ryoga apologized for not being able to strike down Master Logos's enemies, but Master Logos assured him that it did not matter and revealed that they had now gained more Wonder Ride Books thanks to their attack.
Ryoga and Reika were later instructed by Master Logos to keep watch over Touma and his companions. Ryoga went to attack Rintaro to steal his Sacred Sword, but Blades managed to outmaneuver Durendal's time warping abilities. Bacht then appeared and became Kamen Rider Falchion to intervene, but instead of attacking Blades he chose to fight Durendal instead, proclaiming that all swordsmen were his enemy. After being pushed back, Durendal chose to exit the scene, leaving Blades to contend with Falchion.
After Reika kidnapped Luna and brought her to Master Logos, Master Logos commended the Shindai siblings for successfully capturing her. It was that Ryoga questioned why Master Logos had unsealed Bacht, to which the Master answered that he was a "hound" needed to gather the Holy Blades and Wonder Ride Books. Reika and Ryoga later accompanied Master Logos to the spot where the worlds had become connected with Luna, within which Master Logos summoned a massive tower that had the Seiken embedded in it. They were soon confronted by Rintaro, Tetsuo and Ryo, but Master Logos was unconcerned as everything was going according to his plan. He sent Durendal and Sabela to defeat the swordsmen, with Durendal striking down Blades and claiming his Seiken for the tower. However, it was then that Bacht suddenly swooped in and attacked the sibling Riders, adding their Seikens and Wonder Ride Books to Master Logos' collection. After Master Logos nonchalantly dismissed Bacht's actions, Reika attempted to confront him but was held back by Ryoga, who had realize they are already too late from finding out the second Logos is evil. Later, after Master Logos obtained the Omniforce Wonder Ride Book, Reika and Ryoga teleported away from the scene alongside Master Logos.
Ryoga would later be asked by his sister in private about what they should do about Master Logos. Ryoga proclaimed that it was the duty of the Shindai clan to serve those who uphold the Master Logos rank and that they should wait and see if Master Logos still intends to do his duty of protecting the world. After Master Logos announce to declare war on humanity worldwide and now finally sees his action is too chaotic evil and unworthy to uphold Master Logos title, the siblings begin their moves to aid Northern Base, and make up their mistakes. After Master Logos returned to Southern Base Ryoga and Reika confronted him and asked if Master Logos still intended to uphold his vow to guard the world, but Master Logos proclaimed that he was not "Master Logos" anymore and told Ryoga and Reika to refer him by his real name, "Isaac". Relieved by the confirmation, Ryoga stated that his family clan would not need to serve those who have discard the Master Logos rank, and tainted its rank like Isaac did. Ryoga and Reika transformed into Sabela and Durendal to face Isaac, but Isaac overwhelmed them both as Solomon. Saber and Blades then arrived and assisted the Shindai siblings in fighting back against Solomon, but Solomon was still able to hold them off with his immense power. Right as Solomon unleashed an attack against the Riders however, Yuri appeared as Kamen Rider Saikou X-Swordsman and dissolved it before teleporting away with Touma, Rintaro, Reika and Ryoga.
Soon after, Touma and Rintaro attempted to persuade the Shindai siblings to ally with them against Isaac. Ryoga refused, claiming that they were both still traitors to the guild, and turned to leave followed by Reika.
