In the city of Touto where genius physicist Sento Kiryu resided,
mysterious beings known as the Smash endangered people's lives.
Amid that peril appeared our hero, the Kamen Rider!
What's with you calling yourself a hero and a genius?
You're just some middle-aged amnesiac!
- Quiet, you.
Anyway, this guy here is Banjo Ryuga, a murderer who broke out of prison.
I didn't kill anyone or escape anything!
And because of his constant whining,
I, being the gracious man I am, decided to help him escape,
turning the entire government against me.
What's in store for Episode 2?
- I wasn't whining!
Your retort was slow.
10 years have passed since the Skywall Incident caused by the Pandora Box found on Mars.
Our country was split into three - Touto, Seito, Hokuto,
and descended into chaos.
I walk endlessly through the night
kono mama aruki tsudzuketeru
Following the footprints of one person
konnya mo massugu hitori no ashiato tadotte
Even if it takes me an eternity
hateshinai dakedo kimi dake wa
I know you are waiting for me
doko ka de matteru
Always with a smile
egao tayasazu ni
There you will
Be The One, Be The One
All right!
The one that'll never give up Earth's tomorrow!
ashita no chikyuu wo nagedasenai kara
Be The Light, Be The Light
All right!
The strength of my heart acts as my invincible force!
tsuyoku nareru yo ai wa makenai
Treasure and embrace the things you want to save!
nanika wo tasuke sukutte dakishime
Feel the beat of my heart echo through these walls!
kokoro ni furete kodoku yo tsutaware
Be The One, Be The Light
Send that message through as it reverberates!
Message okuru yo hibiku yo
Hey, hey, hey...
Do you realize what you've done?!
The Innocent Runaway
Episode 2
I had no choice!
If I had handed him over like that, he'd be sent back to prison.
They'll make him into their guinea pig again.
Guinea pig?
A Best Match occurred within my memories.
It means that I was a test subject as well.
But if something was done to you,
then wouldn't both of you have become monsters?
Besides, he didn't lose his memories.
Doesn't that mean that he knows where their base is?
Well, he doesn't remember where.
However, if we solve the murder that Banjo was framed for...
We could finally reach that Bat Guy's organization!
Hey!
Anyway, please tell me your story.
What do you want to know?
Everything.
All right...
I was born in a maternity and gynecology department in Yokohama.
Chapter 1
Birth
Yokohama Yumemi Maternity and Gynecology Hospital
A healthy baby weighing 3203 grams--
Yokohama Yumemi Maternity and Gynecology Hospital
Who told you to start telling the story from your birth?!
You asked me to tell you everything!
You should have known what I meant, idiot.
Who you calling idiot, huh?!
D-D-Don't snap at me over every detail.
Start from when you got imprisoned.
Oh.
I was introduced to a scientist whom I was told could give me a job.
Then when I visited him, the scientist was dead,
and the police appeared.
Objection!
Yes, Owner?
That seems too convenient.
The police just happened to appear at the murder scene right after you?
It's all true!
Why are you accusing me of--
So that Smash gave us Gorilla, huh...
Well done.
I should say that it's all thanks to me.
Move it.
Who are you?!
I could ask you the same question.
At any rate, if you were framed for both the murder and the escape,
then the two cases should have some kind of common ground.
There's no choice but to investigate.
Well then, where should we start?
If you need help, then I could lend a hand.
Who's there?!
You left the door open?!
I locked it!
Sento brought this guy here,
so I went after him after I said to "not bring anyone to the hideout as you please," opening the door...
And then I forgot to shut it.
Seriously?!
So sorry!
So this is the Kamen Rider's hideout, huh?
How did you know that?
Did you forget?
It was yesterday at the...
Ha
Har
Harbor.
How did you find this place, though?
You dropped this.
Seriously?!
So sorry!
Don't worry!
I just came here to express my gratitude.
And...
I wanted to ask if you would let me write an article about the Kamen Rider.
No way.
Please!
I'm a freelance journalist on the edge!
I need a scoop to survive!
If you won't let me...
I'll expose you.
How refreshingly impudent.
All right, deal.
You can't just do that!
What choice do I have?!
However...
There will be no information that could jeopardize our identities.
Got it?
It's like a win-win relationship!
Right?
This is the worst...
Um...
Hey, there's no one here.
Impossible.
I had an eyewitness report of a Smash appearing.
Huh?
It was a trap!
What's with these chains?!
Get them off me!
No way.
We're still uncertain about you.
And I don't want to be attacked.
Who would attack you?!
I don't even know who you are.
"The heroes of justice who protect the streets of Touto."
WANTED FUGITIVE, THE KAMEN RIDER HAS BEEN FOUND. CAPTURE AT ONCE.
Good morning.
Here, read this.
"In order to turn Smash back into humans...
Their essence must be extracted once defeated."
"Once the Bottle containing the harvested essence is purified in the conversion device,
it can be used by the Kamen Rider."
I'm the only one who can perform the purification.
It's because...
I have the power to do so.
You sure about that?
Huh?
There's no way a kid like you could do that.
Prove me wrong and make one right now.
Or were you lying?
I didn't lie!
I'll show you right now.
You better give me my part-time pay once I'm done.
Kasumi?
It's me.
Ryuga? Is that you?
Help me!
Kasumi?!
Kasumi!
Banjo Ryuga...
Who is this?!
I'll let you see the woman.
As of yesterday, the Touto government attacked the Kamen Rider.
The Kamen Rider is a fugitive now, huh?
When a special unit went to investigate the scene,
Confrontation With Wanted Fugitive Kamen Rider
Guardian Internal Camera Footage
they engaged in an armed confrontation.
Don't think you can get out of this with the government after you.
The Touto government...
Excuse me.
What?
Banjo got away!
He has my cellphone so track him with the GPS.
Hey...
You gave up your career for me, didn't you?
To earn the money for the surgery, you deliberately lost the match...
What kind of nonsense is that?
She lost weight...
Weren't you looking for a job?
Mr. Katsuragi is a scientist who is looking for an assistant...
Katsuragi
Mr. Katsuragi?
Freeze! Stay where you are!
You're under arrest on suspicion of murder!
BANJO RYUGA LOCATED.
COMMENCING PURSUIT.
READY GO!
Why'd you run off on your own?
VORTEX BREAK!
I had no choice!
There's a woman waiting for me!
Woman?
Seriously...
This is the worst...
Well, shall we begin the experiment?
GORILLA!
DIAMOND!
BEST MATCH!
Here comes a Best Match!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
THE DAZZLING DESTROYER!
GORILLAMOND!
YEAHHH!
The laws of victory have been decided!
Get on!
Sorry, but...
I need you to go back!
That jerk!
Hey...
Who was that woman you mentioned earlier?
Ogura Kasumi.
The one who told me about that scientist...
And led me to the room where he was murdered...
Was Kasumi.
Why keep quiet about something so--
Sorry, but...
I have to solve this on my own.
Kasumi...
Kasumi!
You're late, Banjo Ryuga.
I kept my word.
Your woman is right in front of you.
That's...
Kasumi?
Is that really you, Kasumi?
Geez, stop rampaging already.
Do you want to die that badly?
Stop!
That's Kasumi!
The Bat Guy...
It's Night Rogue.
Who cares what you're called!
(Hedgehog) HARINEZUMI!
TANK!
ARE YOU READY?
- Henshin!
What did you do to my body?!
You experimented on me, didn't you?!
I don't remember the faces of my lab rats.
Stop screwing around!
Using Bottles chosen on a whim...
Don't think you can actually beat me with those.
Stop!
That's Kasumi!
She'll be fine once we extract the Smash essence.
If you do that...
She'll disappear.
What?
Hazard Level 1.
Weak humans will die once the gas is injected into the chamber.
If you extract the Smash's essence,
its body will disappear alongside the soul.
There is no possible way to save them.
It can't be...
Please stop!
What's going on with her?
Turning into a Smash should have removed your personality.
But she's hurting herself instead of you...
Why?
Let's make sure to come here again.
Hey...
Is there really no way to save her?
Then...
At least turn her back her normal, please!
I'm begging you...
RABBIT!
(Cleaner) SOUJIKI!
ARE YOU READY?
GORILLA!
DIAMOND!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
THE DAZZLING DESTROYER!
GORILLAMOND!
YEAHHH!
READY GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAHHH!
Kasumi!
Kasumi...
Ryuga...
Why...
Why is her breath...
I can only do this much...
Ryuga...
I deceived you...
That's fine!
Don't talk anymore...
I was requested by a man named Nabeshima...
To lead you to that scientist's place.
He said...
He would let you make a comeback as a martial artist...
If only you had not met me...
You... would have led a much happier life...
I'm sorry...
Stop joking around!
How could my life be better than this?
I'm...
I'm very happy...
To have met someone like you.
Thank you...
Why?
Weren't we going to go see the cherry blossoms together again?
Let's go.
Enough...
I've had enough...
What?
What's enough to you?
Because it isn't!
If you're caught here, you would still be a murderer!
Is that okay with you?
Do you think she would be happy with that?!
"The Fugitive Kamen Rider," eh?
All right...
Thanks to you...
I was able to speak with Kasumi for the last time.
Thank you.
You were sleeping?!
AH!
The Bottle!
Dragon?
(Ryu)
A dragon for Ryuga...
That bottle contains the essence harvested from her.
You should keep it.
If you want to thank me, do it after the false charges against you have been cleared.
Hey!
I have a lead on the guard who knocked out Banjo in prison.
His name is Nabeshima Masahiro.
Nabeshima...
I was requested by a man named Nabeshima...
We may have just found the common ground between Banjo's jailbreak and his murder case...
