War has broken out between Touto and Hokuto over the enormous energy within the Pandora Box.
Kamen Rider Build, Kiryu Sento, won the proxy battle against Kamen Rider Grease,
putting a stop to the war with Hokuto, but...
Oh, wow! This is my first time participating in the recap!
Congrats
What's up, Sawa?
I haven't gotten my reward for fetching Banjo over to stop Build's rampage.
Reason
Invoice
Kiryu Sento
Price for fetching Banjo over
50,000 Dollarks, please.
- You're charging money?! - Of course!
Too much!
I'm barely scraping by.
Too much!
Wait! Don't run away!
Wait!
See you tomorrow!
Oh, here's Episode 23. Enjoy!
I'm sorry for losing control...
Like that'll do anything. Don't you remember what happened with Aoba?
Don't say that.
Don't sweat it, what's done is done.
Let's go.
What happens now that we lost the proxy battle?
The Prime Minster hasn't contacted us yet.
We might not be able to live in Hokuto anymore!
I really thought that I would have to use it.
As punishment for making me worry...
You're in charge of today's meals!
Please?
Please! Please! Please!
Mii-tan?
Sento.
I knew it...
Mii-tan!
IT'S MII-TAN!
What?
I'm Sawatari Kazumi, 29 years old, a bachelor.
From the first time I met you online,
my soulfire was lit from falling in love with you!
M-May I shake your hand?
Oh, w-wait, wait!
If you want a handshake, you have to buy a ticket.
- Yes...
50,000 Dollarks, please.
50,000?!
You're charging?!
That's cheap.
If I pay 100,000 can I get a photo with her, too?
- You're actually paying...
W-Wait, Boss! That's for our living expenses!
- C'mon, it's not that big of a deal! - No way!
Prime Minister Himuro...
Yes?
Got it, I'll head there immediately.
What's wrong?
It seems that Seito has attacked Hokuto's government official residence and gained control.
Seriously?
Prime Minister, is it true that Hokuto has been taken over?
Yeah, it's all true.
Stalk...
Were you in cahoots with Seito all this time?
Seito will be seizing all of Hokuto from now on.
Your friends and family will be under Seito's rule.
I won't let you off so easily if you lay a hand on my friends.
That will depend on your attitude.
A message will be sent to Touto from Seito's Prime Minister very shortly.
Wait for further instructions there.
It has been 10 years 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.
Walking endlessly through the night
kono mama aruki tsudzuketeru
Following the footprints you've left
konnya mo massugu hitori no ashiato tadotte
And if the journey takes an eternity
hateshinai dakedo kimi dake wa
I know you'll be waiting, with that neverending smile
doko ka de matteru egao tayasazu ni
There you will
Be The One, Be The One
All right!
Who won't ever give up Earth's tomorrow!
ashita no chikyuu wo nagedasenai kara
Be The Light, Be The Light
All right!
You'll become stronger, so that love always prevails!
tsuyoku nareru yo ai wa makenai
Treasure and embrace the things you want to save
nanika wo tasuke sukutte dakishime
As you feel my beating heart be passed on
kokoro ni furete todoku yo tsutaware
Be The One, Be The Light
Send that message through as it reverberates!
Message okuru yo hibiku yo
Phantom of the West
Episode 23
It looks like a surprise attack from Seito,
and the Hokuto government wasn't able to do anything.
I never would have guessed this would happen...
Hokuto Government Official Residence
Hey, where did Kiba go?
Kiba? Kiba!
Citizens of Touto.
Mido...
What is the meaning of this?!
Prime Minster of Seito Mido Masakuni
The Seito government now declares war on Touto!
First, please take a look at some of our weapons.
Our Sawatari Farm
Our farm!
They wouldn't...
Guys!
Kiba!
When did that idiot...
Let go of my friends!
Who's messing around in our territory?
Who are you guys?
GEAR ENGINE!
FUNKY!
(Remote Control)
GEAR REMOCON!
FUNKY!
Raging Mist.
REMOTE CONTROL GEAR!
ENGINE RUNNING GEAR!
Hey!
That's...
The Kaiser System that Mogami Kaisei made.
I am Engine Bro's.
And this is my older brother, Remocon Bro's.
Who do you wish to face?
I won't hand over Hokuto... to any of you!
I see...
You want to take us both on.
But how...
FUNKY DRIVE!
GEAR REMOCON!
Kiba!
Kamen Rider Grease.
If you want to save his life...
Become a weapon of Seito.
And that's the gist of it.
We welcome you, Grease.
I anticipate a positive response from you.
It's a trap.
Even so, would you be able to ignore something like this?
Then we'll go too!
No, we can't.
Why not?!
If we go to Hokuto, it'll be seen as invasion.
That doesn't matter at a time like this
It does!
We must not go to Hokuto.
If you Kamen Riders go to Hokuto...
The intensity of the war will rise and all of Touto will be exposed to more danger.
Kiryu is enduring this too, for Touto.
These are Hokuto's Bottles.
I entrust them to you.
Please bring Kiba back to Touto.
We can't fight in Hokuto...
But if they step into Touto, we can join the fight as a line of defense.
This has nothing to do with you guys.
It's a Hokuto problem.
We feel the same when it comes to saving Kiba too!
We'll wait for you at the Skyroad.
Kiba!
Boss...
Akaba...
You're late.
Are you prepared to become a weapon of Seito yet?
How can I accept it when my precious friends have been hurt?!
ROBOT JELLY!
ROBOT IN GREASE!
I'll crush you with my burning soulfire.
BURRRAAH!
You think you can win against us alone?
You're seriously underestimating us.
Shut up!
- You okay? - Akaba!
Can you stand?
What's wrong?
Is this all Hokuto has to offer?
We'll be waiting at the Skyroad.
Let's go!
DISCHARGE BOTTLE!
UNCRUSHABLE!
DISCHARGE CRUSH!
The Remocon Bro's and Engine Bro's you created have inherited the Kaiser System magnificently.
It's absolutely wonderful.
Thank you very much.
We need Seito to seize and rule the whole country.
We'll collaborate as much as needed for that.
The masterpiece of a Kamen Rider we created for Seito...
He should be heading toward Touto as we speak.
Boss...
It looks like...
It's the end for me.
Actually...
It was already pretty bad before you came...
Boss!
Just go... don't worry about me!
There's no way I'd do that!
Curse you...
GEAR ENGINE!
ELECTRIC STEAM!
FUNKY SHOT!
GEAR ENGINE!
You idiot!
What were you thinking?!
If I didn't do this...
Then you wouldn't have escaped...
Syoukichi!
I knew you didn't lose your memories...
You're really bad at lying...
Shut up.
Boss...
I'll be watching over you...
With Aoba, on the other side...
Syoukichi...
Syoukichi!
Syoukichi...
I'll avenge him!
I'm not done yet!
Unforgivable...
With this, this is the end for you.
You guys okay?!
Kiba...
We couldn't save Kiba...
So your tactic was to lure us here.
Don't think you'll be safe by escaping to Touto.
What you guys did to Kiba...
You punks...
We'll take care of this.
- No way, I'll be the one— - We be the ones...
To avenge Kiba.
Banjo.
I'm gonna use the Hazard Trigger.
Got it.
Leave it to me.
HAZARD ON!
DRAGON JELLY!
RABBIT!
TANK!
SUPER BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY? .
Henshin!
CRUSH! FLUX! OVERFLUX!
DRAGON IN CROSS-Z CHARGE!
THE UNCONTROLLED SWITCH!
BURRRAAH!
BLACK HAZARD!
NO WAAAY!
It's easier to control this time!
Just a bit more...
No way!
We couldn't bring them down...
RABBITTANK SPARKLING!
YEAH YEAHHH!
Why are they doing so much for us?
That's why they're strong.
It's no wonder I lost.
DANGER!
CROCODILE!
CRACK!
CRUNCH!
SHATTER!
CROCODILE IN ROGUE!
ORRRAAH!
Touto's Kamen Riders aren't that much of a problem, huh?
Banjo.
- They're talking about you. - It's not just me!
We're carrying the wishes of Hokuto here.
So there's no way we'll lose!
SCRAP BREAK!
READY GO!
SPARKLING FINISH!
Still have some left in the tank, do you?
Who's that?
He is Seito's Kamen Rider.
Seito's?
We'll be taking our leave now.
We'll meet again if our fortunes align.
Hey!
So you think you're enough to take the two of us down?
Bring it on!
What's going on?
My attacks aren't working...
CROCODILE!
FUNKY BREAK!
CROCODILE!
Banjo!
CRACK UP FINISH!
Who are you?
Kamen Rider
Kamen Rider Rogue.
Rogue?
We meet again...
Katsuragi.
Himuro Gentoku...
Kamen Rider Build!
NE
XT
PRE
VIEW
Not even the Hazard Trigger can defeat him?
The strongest! Seito's Kamen Rider Rogue
You people can never understand...
The burden of carrying a nation...
Kamen Rider Build is a work of fiction.
I'm sure you'd be able to set your soul aflame with the same soulfire as us.
Touto and Hokuto join forces!
My beliefs cannot be crushed.
