Kamen Rider Build, also known as the genius physicist Kiryu Sento,
heads to Hokuto in order to meet Katsuragi Takumi's mother.
However, he learned there that Katsuragi was the one who founded Faust.
Katsuragi Takumi is a real genius.
Compared to a certain someone, that is...
- You really don't get it, do you?
It's boring to hear a lecture on something like the Schwarzchild radius on a Sunday morning.
I hid it on purpose.
Then how was the 4-Panel Ninja Skill Sword created?
I made it just by going "clack clack!" and "rwwhhhr!" and "boom!"
Are those sound effects?
It's too genius to be described by a few words!
What's in store for Episode 8?
Have you seen the Kamen Rider and Banjo Ryuga?
They ran that way.
Let's go.
Have a good day.
You can come out now...
Thank you so much.
Was what that monster said true?
Katsuragi Takumi...
He was the one who founded Faust!
10 years have passed since the Sky Wall 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
Touto Government
What were the Kamen Rider and the Smash doing within Hokuto?
The citizens of Hokuto will be in disorder
as long as these monsters run amok.
Tajimi Yashiko
Prime Minister of Hokuto
Or...
Was that your intention?
It's true.
Only Touto has monsters like that.
It wouldn't be all that strange to assume you're using them as weapons.
Mido Masakuni
Prime Minister of Seito
What you're saying is ridiculous!
Himuro Taizan
Prime Minister of Touto
If that's really your plan, then we'll have something up our sleeve too.
I am Assistant Prime Minister Himuro of the Touto government.
We are taking immediate measures against the monsters.
Memories Start To Speak
Episode 8
We will not let you use them as a pretext to crush Touto.
What are you saying?
There's no way that I would ever—
Gentoku!
Why did you—
It's time you realized it yourself!
They truly intend to take over Touto.
We should ready our military at once.
So you're still saying that?
You're only acting so lightly because of you not witnessing the Sky Wall's light.
Hokuto's Tajimi and Seito's Mido...
They changed after they were exposed to that light.
You are the one who has changed.
Our priority is the stability of the economy, not the development of the military.
Why did you cause that commotion in Hokuto?!
Relax.
I might have discovered the location of what we're looking for.
Really now?
If we could get our hands on that, then the military weapon Rider System could enter a new stage of evolution.
I understand now.
If what you're saying is true, then you might be innocent after all.
And since you lost your memories...
There is also the possibility that you could have killed my son.
What kind of person was Mr. Katsuragi?
That boy...
He both loved and resented science.
He only turned out that way...
And became a scientist due to his father's influence.
Takumi loved his father...
Nanba Heavy Industries Institute of Synthetic Science
And respected him as a scientist.
His father was...
The supervisor of the Pandora Box.
"The mystery sleeping in space."
Congratulations on the return of Mars Probe Kiwami
The dream humankind have been pursuing for a long time.
Takumi was also there...
The answer to that lies...
And attended the Mars Return Ceremony.
Stop it right now!
Don't!
Since the Pandora Box was what caused that tragedy...
My husband was criticized severely.
In the end, he took his own life.
Takumi...
He chose the path of science for the sake of taking on his work and clearing his name.
So...
When he was dismissed by the institute...
He founded Faust?
That boy...
Once he immerses himself in something, he becomes unable to see what's around him.
He might have been used by someone.
I shouldn't have said that...
He did make things that have hurt many people, after all.
Couldn't it be that your son regretted what he did?
We actually came here because...
We thought Mr. Katsuragi might have entrusted his research data to you.
The data could give us some leads on Mr. Katsuragi's murder.
Are you hungry?
This is all I have...
Everyday, our teacher makes Takumi's favorite rolled omelets.
It's sweet!
This is way too sweet!
Do you have no manners?
I'll have some.
Please do.
Yummy!
This is really delicious.
It's okay, don't force yourself.
No...
Iffs really good...
Why are you crying?
That's weird, man.
Takumi came home a week before he passed away.
What's this?
My research data.
It can be used for justice or for evil depending on who uses it.
If something ever happens to me, give it to someone trustworthy.
Where's that data?
In Touto.
I hid it in a certain place before I moved.
Where in Touto did you hide it?
I can go get it.
Afterwards, I'll decide whether or not to hand it over to you.
Why do we have to hide in a place like this?
We don't have a choice.
We're fugitives—
Even your burp is sweet!
You ate too many of those omelets.
Stop shaking me!
- Keep it down...
Looks like we're back in Touto.
I'm getting suffocated in here.
We gotta get out of here soon.
Ow...
What the...
What happened?
Mrs. Katsuragi!
THE BLASTOFF MONOTONE!
ROCKETPANDA!
Mrs. Katsuragi!
YEAHHH!
Move!
You...
Mrs. Katsuragi!
Blast...
You're...
I am Assistant Prime Minister Himuro of the Touto government.
I was previously Takumi's boss.
This is the base where he created Faust.
Where is the research data that Takumi entrusted to you?
What are you talking about?
This is his will.
He wrote on how he felt about you in this letter while he was alive.
I will hand this over to you...
If you tell me the location of the data.
A safe deposit box at Touto Bank.
Number 3405.
Thank you for your cooperation.
What's the meaning of this?!
Did you really think...
He was the kind of person who appreciated his parents?
Send her back once she's taken a good whiff of the Nebula Gas.
Her memories of me must be wiped out completely.
Stop!
Let go!
Stop...
Why couldn't we save her?!
We've got an eyewitness report on a Smash!
Now's not the time for that!
No...
They could have turned her into a Smash to erase her memory.
Sento, you forgot something!
I purified it earlier.
It's the Syoubousya bottle.
(Fire Engine)
Thanks!
Banjo!
You forgot this.
Thanks!
So you look like a worker because it's a construction site?
I don't have to be disguised all the time.
That Smash looks familiar.
I'll handle this.
Hey!
Are you all right?
What's with this guy?
He's stronger than last time...
I suppose I gotta find the laws of victory then.
(Pirate) KAIZOKU!
(Fire Engine) SYOUBOUSYA!
And it's not a Best Match.
(Hedgehog) HARINEZUMI!
(Fire Engine) SYOUBOUSYA!
BEST MATCH!
Best Match!
Here it comes!
ARE YOU READY?
Henshin!
THE RESCUE EDGE!
FIREHEDGEHOG!
YEAHHH!
Too cold!
The laws of victory have been decided!
READY GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAHHH!
Mrs. Katsuragi!
Where am I?
You were kidnapped by Faust and turned into a Smash.
I was?
I don't remember that at all...
Let's get you to somewhere safe for now.
Wait!
I have a request...
This is...
I'm sorry, but I cannot trust you. Katsuragi Takumi
I'm sorry, but I cannot trust you.
She got us good.
What is it?
It's from Stalk.
It's me.
Nanba Heavy Industries Institute of Synthetic Science
Controlled Area No Entry
It's here...
Nanba Heavy Industries Institute of Synthetic Science
Controlled Area No Entry
We found it...
So that's where it was hiding!
Good work, my volunteers.
You punk!
Henshin!
(Hawk) TAKA!
GATLING!
BEST MATCH!
HAWKGATLING!
YEAHHH!
BAT!
Bleeding Steam.
MIST MATCH!
B-BAT...
BAT... B-B-BAT...
FIRE!
Night Rogue?
Leave the rest to me.
Thanks for the help!
You're not going anywhere!
Looks like your Hazard Level has already hit 2.4...
Why don't we play for a bit?
ELECTRIC STEAM!
GORILLA!
ROCKET!
You think that's enough to beat me?
PANDA!
ROCKET!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
ROCKETPANDA!
YEAHHH!
READY GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAHHH!
How interesting...
Hazard Level 2.5...
2.6...
2.7...
It keeps increasing!
This guy's pretty interesting.
All right, then...
I've seen you make good progress,
so I'll give you this for now.
What are you doing, Stalk?
Stalk!
Hold up!
Hurry and get out of here!
What do you think you're doing?
Just hear me out.
Our goal isn't the data.
It's the finished product that comes from putting it to use.
Kiryu Sento is fully capable of accomplishing that.
And Banjo Ryuga will be able to use it...
This USB...
I want you to use it.
Are you sure?
I feel that...
You'd be able to understand Takumi's thoughts.
Thank you.
You don't remember anything about Faust, do you?
I don't remember a single thing about it.
But the fact that they took the key must mean that I did what my son told me to do.
If someone untrustworthy ever comes to find you...
Just give them that key.
In the past, that child would always pay close attention to meticulous things like that.
Yet he never understood...
How much we cared about him.
I don't think that's true.
Mr. Katsuragi hid an anagram within his research diary, which I rearranged.
Once I rearranged it, this is what the sentence ended up saying.
"Thank you for giving birth to me."
I think he just wasn't very good at conveying his feelings.
If it's good, then why don't you show that you like it?
He... never told me anything.
So this could contain the reason behind Katsuragi's murder?
You sure about this?
It could reveal an unwanted truth.
What I'm afraid of...
Is what I don't know about myself.
I'm prepared to accept it.
Whatever the truth might be.
All right, then.

The Rider System is Touto's military weapon.
The Kamen Rider is a military weapon!
Are you seriously siding with the Demonic Scientist?
Kamen Rider Build is a work of fiction.
What is Sento's trap?
It's society that influences science to be used for military purposes!
Not the scientists!
