With Ryuzu's defeat, the Stride Gate not only begins to crumble, but the energy that was poured through it is pushed back to the Planet Cray. Ryuzu accepts his loss and prepares himself to disappear along with the gate. Chrono wishes to save him, and in response, the Zodiac Time Beasts revert Ryuzu into an infant to give him a second chance in life. The Zodiac Time Beasts return to Cray, the Stride Gate is destroyed, and Chrono and his friends are sent back to Earth.
Two months later, life has returned to normal, including how Shion becomes the official heir to the Kiba family, which has been restored to its former glory. Everyone, including former enemies, convenes to a Vanguard tournament hosted by Chrono, and they all have fun playing the game that they have formed bonds over.
