Yes, Episode 20 of Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider Season 1 includes a post-credits scene.

The episode's main story concludes with Nao, still struggling to keep pace in his training but determined to improve his base form rather than relying on his trooper transformation, pushing himself late at night after the others have fallen asleep. Sweat-drenched and muscles screaming from exhaustion, he foams at the mouth in a comedic yet gritty display of resolve, finally starting to catch up to the more experienced wannabe Riders--his breaths ragged, eyes burning with the quiet desperation born from his father's failed taiyaki business haunting his every quit instinct. This raw vulnerability peaks in an earlier emotional confession where Nao admits his tendency to give up easily, his voice cracking under the weight of lifelong defeatism, fists clenched as tears well up, forging a rare bond with his comrades who see past his weaknesses.

Then, in the shadows of the training grounds under a moonlit sky heavy with tension, Nao collides with Thunder Rio--her silhouette menacing, lightning crackling faintly around her lithe form like veins of electric fury, eyes glowing with predatory amusement. Heart pounding, adrenaline surging through his veins like fire, Nao steels himself, the internal war raging: flee like the "trash" his doubts scream he is, or stand and fight for the hero dream he's clung to at 40. With a defiant shout echoing into the night, he suits up--his base form armor snapping into place with a mechanical whir, visor locking down as sparks fly from the transformation belt, muscles tensing for the clash. The screen cuts to black on this heart-stopping cliffhanger, Nao's glowing eyes piercing the darkness, leaving his fate--and the viewer's pulse--hanging in electric suspense.
