Houjou Emu is a pediatric intern at Seito University Hospital.
To protect humanity from computer viruses known as “Bugsters”,
Emu transforms into a Kamen Rider to defeat them and save his patients.
But, this is only where our story begins.
Having been entrusted with this important mission,
He must...
Clear all of these games and become the super doctor and savior of humanity,
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!
Huh...?
Thank you for providing us with the Transformation System.
Episode 2: Two Geniuses? No Thank You.
Now, we can finally fight back against the Bugsters.
Don't mention it. I'm only doing what I can.
Moreover, how are the witnesses being handled?
The Ministry of Health is dealing with the media as we speak.
Everything must be kept under wraps.
Um... just what are you?
You! What are you doing here?
I told you to keep out of our business!
Ah, Director! Emu will be working for both CR and Pediatrics from now on!
Welcome to CR!
Well, I—
She's a navigator for Kamen Riders the Ministry assigned us.
I'll be counting on you! Make sure it all goes well.
That's right!
Ouch!
Hold on to this! It'll alert you when there's an emergency.
You say that, but what do I actually do? I'm...
...not fit for this job, are you?
Seito University Hospital ・ Surgeon
Kagami Hiiro
Hiiro.
Father. There's no need for two doctors in CR.
“Father”?
Whoa! You're the Director's son?
And you. To your existence I say...
no thank you.
Fate is just like... a puzzle game, don't you think?
Is it really okay for us to sit back like this, Parad?
Well, I guess I should at least go and say hi.
We will now begin the operation.
Scalpel.
That's Kagami Hiiro, the genius surgeon.
He was working at a prestigious hospital in America until Director Papa called him back.
He's a compatible user just like you, Emu.
So there is no real need for someone like me...
Whoa!
It's an emergency call!
How do they connect directly to me?
It's all thanks to the power of the Ministry of Health!
Rensuke! What's wrong, Rensuke?!
Where does it hurt, Rensuke? Rensuke!
Are you the caller, Ms. Gouda Asami?
-Yes!
There's something weird coming out of his body!
Please, you have to help him!
First, stay calm. Everything will be fine.
Emu, diagnose him!
Right!
Where does it hurt?
My chest... argh!
Um...
Use this!
Hiiro!
Move it.
Let's begin.
Gamer Driver.
Rider Gashat.
Begin? What does he mean, begin?
The operation.

Transformation Plus!
CLICK AND—
CLICK AND CLOSE!
You can't separate the Bugster from the patient unless you're at Level 1!
You don't even know how to operate?
You're just an intern after all.
Well, you don't even open the chests! Do you even play games?
This isn't a game. It's an operation.
There's nothing I cannot cut.
You fools.
All right!
Proceeding with Level 2.
Eliminating the separated Bugster.
Huh? Who...?

Mr. Rensuke!
Everyone's getting super pumped up, huh?
Listen up. The operation doesn't end with separating the Bugster.
Unless you defeat the Bugster too, it will take over the patient's body.
Worst case scenario, Mr. Rensuke will disappear.
Poppy Pipopapo.
At your service!
But please call me Asuna when I'm in this form.
Whatever.
Who was the Rider that appeared?
If he didn't interrupt, I would've finished the operation.
I've never seen him before. I'll see what I can find on him.
Alert me once you've located the Bugster.
Huh? Um... is it all right to just leave the patient?
Why are you eating cake?
What you need to do now is—
—replenish my energy and sugar levels.
You think that's more important than taking care of the patient?
Withhold concern for your patients. That's how I work.
I don't care who the patient is.
All that concerns me is fixing them. That's all.
You don't care as long as your job is done?
Patients aren't just things you “fix”!
Don't get ahead of yourself, intern.
You're not a real doctor.
That smile is proof of your health.
I'll save the patient.
We were going to get married next week.
But Asami suddenly said she didn't want to anymore.
That was when my chest started hurting.
It might be the stress.
The Bugsters' multiplying might be directly linked to stress.
Well, stress does weaken your immune system.
And if your immunity is down...
It becomes vulnerable to viruses!
Um... what's this about viruses and bugs?
What exactly am I sick with?
The Bugster infection.
It's a game illness.
Game illness?!
But, no need to worry.
I will definitely make you better, Mr. Rensuke.
Ow! Oww...
We were going to have our wedding here.
But, I started having doubts.
He's an amazing man,
so I started wondering if I were good enough for him.
Well, what do you truly want, Ms. Asami?
I want to marry him.
That man shall never be happy!
Hand over the bride.
BIND!
What? What is this?!
Ms. Asami!
Mr. Rensuke?!
He's in critical condition!
I will make that bride mine, and when that man disappears,
I will finally become a complete being!
Said like a true video game villain.
MIGHTY ACTION X!
Well, I'm game. Bring it on!
I'll change my patient's fate with my own hands!

You can't do anything.
Crap, at this rate...
Had enough already, intern?
This is what happens when you get invested in patients.

They canceled canceling their wedding?
Yes! Isn't that great?
She's moved on from her marriage blues.
Yeah!
How trivial.
What's with your attitude?
Well well! Case closed!
I'm proud of you, my son!
And as you wish, Emu, you will be returning to Pediatrics—
I... want to stay.
As a doctor of CR.
I can't leave our patients to someone like this.
Watch it! That's my son you're talking about!
That's the spirit!
You know it!
All right! Let's all sit down together and eat the apple pie the patient sent us!
Woohoo!
I want to cut it!
Hold it.
There's nothing I cannot cut.
Scalpel.
Here.
He really likes his sweets, huh.
Aren't you the generous man, Dr. Hanaya?
You need the funds for a new game anyway, right?
Do you plan to save people as a doctor?
Or do you...
NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
That's Hanaya Taiga. He was a Rider with CR five years ago.
A shady ex-doctor joins the battle!
Don't you want to save people, as an ex-doctor?
A shooting game—
All I'm after are the Gashats.
His target is Emu's Gashat!
