Kamen Rider Build, the brilliant physicist Kiryuu Sento,
has headed to Hokuto to seek out Katsuragi Takumi's mother.
There, he learns that Faust was actually founded by Katsuragi.
Katsuragi was a true genius.
Unlike somebody I know...
You don't know squat.
Nobody wants to hear about the Schwarzschild radius and thermal vents on a Sunday morning.
I'm playing it down.
Then how did you make the 4-Panel Ninpo Sword?
Well, first I bladdat, then phwhee, and then, wham!
That's just onomatopoeia!
Geniuses have trouble putting things in layman's terms!
What'll happen on Episode 8?!
Where did Kamen Rider and Banjou Ryuuga go?
They ran in that direction.
Let's go.
Thank you for coming.
It's okay now.
Thank you.
Is what that monster said true?
Katsuragi Takumi is the man who founded Faust!
It's been ten years since the Martian Pandora's Box caused the Sky Wall Tragedy.
Our country was split in three: Touto, Seito, and Hokuto, and chaos has ensued.
I'm going to keep walking on tonight
Moving on straight ahead
Leaving only a single set of footprints ahead of me
It seems so vast, but I get the feeling you're out there
Waiting for me somewhere
With a smile that never fades
There you will...
Be the one, be the one
All right!
Who'll never give up on the Earth's future
Be the lights, be the lights
All right!
You can be stronger
Love will never lose!
Helping, saving, and embracing
Touching our hearts so that it can reach out
Be the one, be the lights
Send this message and let it ring out!
Touto Government Offices
What are the Kamen Rider and Smashes doing in Hokuto?
If we allow these abominations to run wild,
they will spread panic amid Hokuto citizens.
Tajimi Yoshiko
Hokuto Prime Minister
Or perhaps...
That was the point all along?
Certainly...
Touto is the only place where those freaks tend to show up.
It wouldn't surprise me if someone were to appropriate them for military use...
Midou Masakuni
Seito Prime Minister
That's an asinine accusation.
Himuro Taizan
Touto Prime Minister
If that's the stance you're taking, perhaps it's time we look into this matter ourselves.
I am the Touto Prime Minister's aide, Himuro.
We will deal with these creatures for you immediately.
What The Memories Tell You
I won't let you use this as an excuse to crush Touto.
What are you talking about?
I have no intention of—
Gentoku! Why would you say that?
Why won't you open your eyes?!
They have every intention of taking Touto over.
We need to put together a military response, now.
You're still going on about that?
If you had been affected by that light, you'd take this matter more seriously, Dad.
Tajimi from Hokuto, and Midou from Seito...
They changed after that light hit them.
You're the one who has changed.
Focus on keeping the economy stable, instead of worrying about military development.
Why did you cause that mess in Hokuto?!
Calm down, man...
This might help us find what we're looking for.
Are you serious?
With it in our hands, the military applications of the Rider System will evolve even further.
I understand now.
How you might be innocent...
And how you've lost your memory, but may be the one who killed my son.
What kind of person was he?
That boy...
He loved and resented science at the same time.
He originally became a scientist because of his father's influence...
Nanba Heavy Industries Composite Materials Laboratory
Takumi loved his father...
He also idolized him as a scientist.
His father was the one in charge of Pandora's Box.
The mysteries of outer space...
Celebrating
Martian Expedition Prominence Return
Humanity has dreamed of, and pursued..
And Takumi was at the ceremony celebrating the return from Mars...
Don't do it! Freeze!
Since Pandora's Box was what caused it all...
My husband was viciously criticized over the incident, by all sides...
It was too much for him... he eventually took his own life.
And Takumi...
He chose to become a scientist,
as if he wanted to make up for his father's regrets...
And after he was released from the lab, he must've founded Faust.
He had a tendency to lose sight of his surroundings when he was focused...
Someone might have been using him.
I'm sorry...
I know he was behind the creation of things that hurt many people...
I wonder if your son had his doubts.
The reason we're here...
We think he may have left some of his research data to you.
It might lead to some understanding of why he was murdered.
Are you hungry?
This is all I really have...
And she always makes his favorite rolled omelette every day.
Too sweet!
These are like, way too sweet.
Do you understand the concept of sensitivity?
Thank you.
Please, enjoy.
Delicious!
These are really good!
You don't have to pretend.
No...
They're really great.
What are you crying for? You're freaking me out.
Takumi visited me a week before he died.
What is this?
My research data.
Depending of who has it, it could be used for good or evil.
If anything happens to me, I want you to give it to someone you trust.
Where is that data now?!
It's in Touto.
I hid it somewhere before moving.
Where is it hidden in Touto?
I will retrieve it personally.
And then, I'll decide whether to give it to you or not.
Why do we gotta hide in here?
It's not like we have a choice, we're fugitives.
Ugh, your burps stink like sugar!
You had way too many omelettes.
Ow! Ease up!
Quiet down.
It looks like we're back in Touto.
I'm having trouble breathing...
We'd better get outta here soon.
Ow!
What the hell...?
What's wrong? Mrs. Katsuragi!
BLASTING OFF IN MONOCHROME!
ROCKETPANDA!
Mrs. Katsuragi!
YEAH!
Move...!
You...!
Mrs. Katsuragi!
Oh, no...
Who are you?
I'm Himuro, aide to the Prime Minister of Touto.
Your son used to work for me.
This is the hideout of Faust, which he created.
Where is the data that he gave you?
What are you talking about?
This is his will.
He included a heartfelt letter directly addressed to you.
If you hand us the data, you can have this.
A safety deposit box in the Bank of Touto.
Number 3405.
We appreciate your cooperation.
What is this?!
Did he seem like the kind of person to be grateful to his parents?
Dose her with Nebula Gas and drop her off.
We need to ensure she forgets all about me.
Stop...
Let me go!
Stop it!
Why couldn't we save her?!
There's a Smash sighting.
We don't have time for that now!
No... they may have turned her into a Smash to erase her memory.
Sento, you forgot something!
I purified that for you. The Fire Engine Bottle.
Thank you!
Banjou!
You forgot something!
Thanks, man!
So he gave you a uniform for this construction site...
Do I need a disguise every damn time?
I think I've seen this Smash before.
I'll handle it.
Hey!
You alright?
What the hell? This thing's way powered up!
In that case, we'll just have to find the winning formula.
PIRATE! FIRE ENGINE!
Not a Best Match.
HEDGEHOG! FIRE ENGINE!
BEST MATCH!
Best Match!
Here we go!
ARE YOU READY?
Transform!
A PIN-POINT RESCUE!
FIREHEDGEHOG!
YEAH!
Cold!
I've got the winning formula.
READY, GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAH!
Mrs. Katsuragi!
Where am I?
Faust kidnapped you, and turned you into a Smash.
They did?
I don't remember at all...
Let's get you somewhere safe.
Wait! I need your help, first...
This is...
Sorry, but I don't trust you.
She pulled the wool over our eyes...
What is it?
It's from Stalk.
It's me.
Nanba Heavy Industries Composite Materials Laboratory
No Trespassing Closed by Management
This is it...
Nanba Heavy Industries Composite Materials Laboratory
No Trespassing Closed by Management
Found it.
So that's where it was hidden.
Thanks for digging that up!
You bastard!
Transform!
HAWK! GATLING!
BEST MATCH!
HAWKGATLING!
YEAH!
BAT!
Vaporize.
MIST MATCH!
BAT!
FIRE!
Night Rogue?
I will deal with this.
Knock yourself out.
You're not going anywhere!
Huh, you're already at Hazard Level 2.4?
Might as well play around.
ELECTRIC STEAM!
GORILLA! ROCKET!
You had better not think that's enough to beat me.
PANDA! ROCKET!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
ROCKETPANDA!
YEAH!
READY, GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAH!
Interesting...
Hazard Level 2.5, 2.6, 2.7...
It just keeps going up!
How utterly fascinating!
Very well...
I'll let you have this, as a reward for your fine growth.
What are you doing, Stalk?!
Stalk!
Hang on!
Hurry and go!
You idiot... What the hell are you thinking?
Oh, just hear me out...
We don't need that data.
We need to finish our project, with the help of that data.
Kiryuu Sento can do that for us.
And Banjou Ryuuga can be the one to put it to use...
This...
I want you to have it.
Are you sure?
I think you would understand what Takumi wanted.
Thank you.
You don't remember being caught by Faust?
There's a gap in my memories from when it happened...
But since I don't have the key anymore, I must've done what my son asked.
If someone you don't trust comes for it, give them that key.
He would always see things like that coming...
But he never understood how much I worried.
I'm not so sure about that.
I found and analyzed this anagram on Katsuragi's research log...
And this was what I deciphered from it...
"Thank you for giving me life."
He probably was just bad at expressing how he felt.
If it's really that good, you could at least show it somehow...
He'd never tell me how he truly felt...
With this, we might find out the motive behind Katsuragi's murder.
You sure about this?
You might not like what you find.
What I fear most is never learning who I really am.
It doesn't matter what the truth is...
I'm prepared to accept it.
Got it.
Project...
...Build?
Kamen Rider Build!

The Rider System is a Touto military application.
Kamen Rider is a weapon of war!
So you're siding with that devil scientist?
Kamen Rider is a weapon of war!
What trap awaits Sento...?
The people around scientists use them as tools of war!
What trap awaits Sento...?
You can't blame scientists for that!
What trap awaits Sento...?
We'll be taking Pandora's Box.
What trap awaits Sento...?
