Kamen Rider Build, the brilliant physicist Kiryuu Sento,
is pursuing the truth about the murder of Katsuragi Takumi to prove Banjou Ryuuga's innocence...
You're the Devil's Scientist, Katsuragi Takumi!
And then something crazy happened!
The shock of it all has ruined our Christmas mood!
We were going to do the introduction while singing Jingle Bells, too...
Merry Christmas!
Just start Episode 16 already!
He's Katsuragi Takumi?
The Weaponized Hero
That's a load of crap!
I was shocked too.
I had thought Katsuragi died a year ago.
Then what makes you think...
I saw Isurugi do something I thought was impossible.
I saw him change someone's face.
It's apparently a power he gained on Mars.
Then, he told me the truth about the "murder" of Katsuragi Takumi from a year ago.
Katsuragi
Can't you reconsider?
Nothing you say will convince me. I'm quitting Faust!
You should know that there's no turning back at this point.
Have fun, Bro!
We're gonna chow down yakiniku tonight!
Go ahead and lay a finger on me.
I'll reveal everything.
I've already given my research data to a third party.
Have it your way.
Right on time.
Sup!
Satou Tarou's the name!
Ready to start working on them drugs...
Kinda rude to run away after seeing someone's face, isn't it?
Mommy! Mommy!
Guess you're first...
And next is our brilliant physicist, Katsuragi Takumi...
My neighbor has been stabbed.
The man who did it is named Banjou Ryuuga.
Please send someone, quickly.
Katsuragi
Mr. Katsuragi?
Don't move! Hands where I can see them!
You're under arrest for suspicion of murder!
I'm... Katsuragi Takumi...
Stop messing around!
You're saying I created Faust,
and thought up doing Smash experiments on humans?!
Don't screw with me!
Calm down!
Altering your memory... that was Stalk's idea.
What is this...? Stop it!
Hang on!
If I'm Katsuragi Takumi, couldn't I have gone to you for help?
You lost your memories before you were experimented on.
What...?
How would that work, if I hadn't been gassed...?
It's true that one of the effects of administering Nebula Gas to humans is partial memory loss.
But it only lasts a few hours after the experiment.
Then how—?
Isurugi erased them...
Before he took you to the lab.
Then he erased Nabeshima's memories too...?
Do you understand now?
You've laughed at the concept of justice,
and never hesitated to sacrifice lives for your agenda.
You are a devil bewitched by science...
Katsuragi Takumi!
This won't be the end for me. I will be back.
When that happens, I want you working as my right hand again.
Hey...
What is he talking about?
You heard that?
Sir, maybe you shouldn't overdo it...
It's fine. I need to fulfill my obligations.
The regular meeting is at 19:00, right?
Before then I need to—
Prime Minister!
Are you alright, sir?!
Prime Minister!
Someone call an ambulance!
Prime Minister! Are you alright?!
Prime Minister!
Are you alright, sir?! Sir?!
There's that backup I promised, Gentoku.
Acting Prime Minister Gentoku!
Your father has collapsed.
Look at you, cool as a cucumber...
When you're the damn Devil's Scientist!
Banjou!
You shut up!
This is between me and him.
You were the one who killed Kasumi.
You created those monsters, and hurt all those people!
Don't just sit there, say something!
What do you want me to do?
Fight me.
I don't think this is gonna solve anything.
But...
I'm not gonna be satisfied until I let you have it!
WAKE UP!
CROSS-Z DRAGON!
ARE YOU READY?
Transform!
WAKE UP BURNING! GET CROSS-Z DRAGON!
YEAH!
PIRATE! GATLING!
ARE YOU READY?
Transform.
Bring it on!
I think you would understand what Takumi wanted.
The people around scientists are the ones who weaponize their research!
Don't blame scientists for that!
So you're siding with that devil scientist?
Screw that!
Are you trying to say that you've never hurt anyone?
READY, GO!
DRACONIC FINISH!
Get serious!
RABBITTANK SPARKLING!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up.
THE EFFERVESCENT BURST!
RABBITTANK SPARKLING!
YEAH YEAH!
READY, GO!
SPARKLING FINISH!
You're right.
I'm the one who killed your girlfriend.
I...
I hurt all those people!
Sorry...
For not telling you about the owner.
You're not really in a position to worry about someone else!
Well, it was a surprise...
About Dad, and about you.
I was so scared of not having any memories...
And I wanted my memory back for so long.
But a past like this...
I don't know if I can bear it.
No matter who you used to be, the Kiryuu Sento I know
is a narcissistic, egotistical...
And righteous superhero.
That's not much of a compliment.
As you can see here, we've safely retrieved Pandora's Box.
Excellent work.
From here on, it'll be shared property of the 3 nat—
Why don't we put all these cloak and dagger shenanigans behind us?
Bathing in the light of Pandora's Box ten years ago caused us to live life according to our desires.
Everyone in this room has been planning to harness the box's energy
in order to assert control of the world.
What on earth are you talking about?
We are providing child rearing support and agricultu—
You say that, in spite of the state your country is in,
and in spite of pouring nearly all your national budget into military spending.
You want power too, don't you?
It wasn't the Sky Wall that split this country in three.
It was our warped desires that made things this way.
So why don't we decide who should really be this country's leader?
Guess I better buy an umbrella...
Who...
...am I?
Everything from that point on was a lie...
You've been cast in the role of hero, that's all...
Welcome home.
I'm back.
You were playing Kamen Rider.
Hey Banjou, what are you so upset about?
Because Sento came up with the human experiments that killed Kasumi?
Or the fact that he created an evil organization?
It's not that.
I dunno how to say it, but I'm pissed because he's so pissed at himself, or something...
Yeah, he might be the guy behind the human experiments!
But...
How can I get mad at him about that if he doesn't even remember it?
And even though I know that,
I just can't control my feelings!
Banjou...
You are really stupid.
Man, shut up!
What are Smashes doing here...?
And those Guardians...
HAWK! GATLING!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Transform!
THE SOARING WILDMAN!
HAWKGATLING!
YEAH!
NINJA! COMIC!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
NINNINCOMIC!
DUPLICATE SKILL!
You created those monsters, and hurt all those people!
What the hell is he doing?!
Transform!
ARE YOU READY?
GET CROSS-Z DRAGON!
Why aren't you fighting back?!
I made these things.
I toyed with people's lives,
used the gas on them...
I turned them into this.
If it wasn't for me...
They wouldn't have been hurt.
You didn't just make the Smashes!
You slapped that belt on
and protected people's tomorrows, futures, and their hopes...
You're responsible for that stuff too!
You fought because you wanted to help people!
You rose up to protect people!
Katsuragi Takumi or Satou Tarou wouldn't have done that!
Only Kiryuu Sento did!
I'm going to keep walking on tonight
Moving on straight ahead
This is terrible.
Getting a pep talk from you of all people...
Leaving only a single set of footprints ahead of me
It seems so vast, but I get the feeling you're out there
But I remember now.
I am a narcissistic, egotistic...
Waiting for me somewhere
With a smile that never fades
And righteous superhero!
There you will...
Be the one, be the one
Now, let's begin the experiment.
All right!
Who'll never give up on the Earth's future
Be the lights, be the lights
RABBIT! TANK!
BEST MATCH!

You can be stronger
Love will never lose!

Helping, saving, and embracing

Touching our hearts so that it can reach out
FULLMETAL MOONSAULT!

RABBITTANK!
Send this message and let it ring out!
We now have the winning formula.
Give it a rest there!
READY, GO!
Be the one, be the one!
VORTEX BREAK!
The most important thing of all
OCTOPUS! LIGHT!
Is to keep moving on
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
As long as you still live
OCTOPUSLIGHT!
YEAH!
So that you'll be stronger and kinder than yesterday
And once you're grown
There! There! And one more!
You'll realize how far you've come
And now the finish!
Then you will...
RABBITTANK SPARKLING!
Be the one, be the one
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
We will always be wishing that dawn comes
RABBITTANK SPARKLING!
Be the lights, be the lights
We will reach out to the future and honor the past's efforts
We'll live in the moment but never forget
REGULAR STOPS!
EXPRESS SERVICE!
The miracles and coincidences, the sun and the moon
RAPID TRANSIT!
PIRATETRAIN! MOVING OUT!
Be the one, be the one
We will make up your side, you'll be the one!
SPECIAL TUNE!
Be the lights, be the lights
PULL! PULL!
We'll take darkness into brightness, yeah!
Leading you into the light, be the lights!
MILLION SLASH! READY, GO!
Oh, you'll be the light!
SPARKLING FINISH!
Be the one, be the one!
You will be the one!
We'll make a way!
Just so you know, I haven't forgiven you or anything.
I know.
Who turned them into Smashes?
Hokuto's government.
They've already started the invasion...
What are you talking about?
This morning, Hokuto's government issued a declaration of war.
Yes... the war has begun!
That was nothing but my way of saying hello.
I'll show you Hokuto's true power.
I guess regular Smash have their limits.
The fact that they're barely sentient makes them kinda useless.
Hey, Red, what're you doing?
Hey!
Don't blame us if the boss gets mad.
Quit your bitching.
Boss! You done yet?!
Next Episode
Kamen Rider Build!
War has begun...
I don't intend on becoming a tool for war.
War has begun...
Isn't that just an excuse so you can run away?
Will it tear these two Riders apart?!
The Rider System isn't a weapon.
Will it tear these two Riders apart?!
I'll prove that!
I'm doing this.
The Outbreak of The Rider War
I can't lose!
