Surgical intern Hojo Emu works as a doctor for CR,
saving patients from the threat of Bugster virus.
Let's begin the operation then.
Thanks to the capable hands of two geniuses,
a dying patient is saved from both game disease and cancer.
Meanwhile, Hanaya Taiga discovered the truth behind Hojo Emu, previously known to none.
Ex-Aid... you have game disease.
He must've transformed too much, and the side effects...
What's with all these things?
I'm going to stay here from today on.
Here Comes A New Challenger!
Here's my accessories, my watch, hat...
Toothbrush, pajamas...
Pajamas? What the heck are you doing?!
Don't worry, I'm just staying until you beat M.
I don't remember promising you that.
What? That's not fair.
I told you who I really am, and now you're backing out?
Get out! And never come back!
Don't run away! Hey, wait!
Whatever, dummy! You old man!
Are you okay?
Yeah, thanks, I'm fine.
I can't believe you had an anemic attack during surgery.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful in the future.
You should give up on your surgery residency.
It doesn't suit you.
If there's something that you're good at...
It's probably game disease treatment.
Hiiro gave you a compliment?!
An iron supplement to fight anemia!
It didn't sound like a compliment. It was kind of weird, actually.
I don't think so! Deep down, Hiiro is a good person.
I'm sure he's finally recognizing your gaming skills!
You think so?
Yep, I do!
Want some?
It's time.
That girl...
The caller said it was here, right?
Yes, but...
Emu, there!
Are you Saiba Nico? We received your request for help.
You're late!
I got bored waiting for you.
Sorry.
I'm going to examine you, okay?
Um, there's no symptoms... do you have a fever?
Ow!
What are you doing?!
Are you okay?
I'm gonna beat you!
Why do you have that?
Cut it out!
It's not a game normal people can play.
Taiga, what is this all about?
Shut up and give me that—
Don't come any closer!
M, I challenge you to a game!
How do you know my name...?
Transform!
BANG BANG SHOO...TING!
What's going on?
So cold...
Hey!
Don't touch me!
Stay still!
It's game disease.
But there were no symptoms...
The virus was lying dormant in her until now.
It must've activated when she tried to use the Gashat.
That's...
You idiot! Why didn't you listen to me?!
It's all your fault!
I've waited all this time and you still haven't beaten him up!
Revol...
Asuna, please take care of her.
Okay.
Begin combat!

Combat over!
CLICK TO CLOSE! CLICK TO SAVE!
What's wrong, intern?
Nothing, I'm fine.
Emu, are you okay?
Let's take her to CR.
CLICK TO SAVE!
You killed Lazer because he found out about Ex-Aid's game disease, didn't you?
I see your analytical skills from your radiologist days are as sharp as ever.
When did you find out?
Hojo Emu...
He's patient zero of the Bugster virus. The first person to contract game disease.
The first?!
Before the Zero Day incident of five years ago?
Six years ago, a particular doctor used him for his experiment.
A doctor...?
He was the head of the Nextgenome Research Center...
Zaizen Michihiko.
He tried to give birth to the mysterious Bugsters by injecting the virus on Hojo Emu.
However, his experiment failed.
All the researchers were infected with the virus, and vanished.
Hojo Emu was then rescued, and returned to his normal life.
He had no recollection of the experiment.
For someone who tried his hardest to shut Lazer up, you sure talk a lot.
He was trying to eradicate the Bugster virus, so he had to go.
Anyone trying to do something that stupid, no matter who, will be eliminated.
What was that all about?
How are you feeling?
Where am I?
You're in CR right now.
I'm going home...
Wait...
You need to rest...
- Get away from me!
Hey!
I don't want you treating me!
- Watch out...
Are you okay?
Don't come any closer!
Um... I believe this is the first time we met, but...
Have I done something to make you hate me like this?
Great, and he doesn't even remember...
Emu, come with me.
Are you sure you never met her?
I think so, but I'm not so sure either...
Try to remember!
You're the only one who can't attack Revol.
It must be something related to the patient's stress.
I really don't have any idea...
Intern.
I want to ask you something.
Why did you decide to become a doctor?
What's this about?
Assistant Secretary Hinata saved his life 16 years ago. That's why he wants to be a doctor, remember?
But even after deciding that, you just kept playing video games, didn't you?
Back then, I was unsure I had what it takes to be a doctor.
So I ended up spending time getting better at games I liked.
I only started getting serious about becoming a doctor six years ago.
Six years ago?!
Um, yes.
He's pissing me off....
We're finally at the finals of Fighters Cup 2010!
Man, seriously?
Strong! So strong!
There was a national tourney for this one fighting game...
I really wanted to get first place, so I trained for several nights in a row.
So when the tourney ended, the fatigue got to me and I fainted.
That's when I had this dream.
I don't really remember the details, but...
I think it was a dream of the surgery I had sixteen years ago.
Surgery?
Yes.
That's when I realized I would fail my exam if I kept this up...
...so I stopped playing games and focused entirely on my entrance exam.
But you actually made it, that's great!
Not really, I'm just...
Was that really a dream?
Well?!
Taiga?
Ex-Aid.
Saiba Nico left her belongings here.
They're just taking up space, so you'd better come and pick them up.
I must deal with Ex-Aid, it's the only way.
As I expected, the two Ex-Aids have the power of a Level 10.
So, combined they are Level 20.
It would not be wise to waste precious time trying to recover his Gashat.
It's your turn to play.
You sure about this?
While Kamen Rider Chronicle is still in development...
I believe you could use a warm-up exercise.
Alright!
I have a bad feeling about this.
It's not a trap, right?
That can't be...
Finally here, I see.
Took you long enough.
Here's her stuff.
Thanks.
We'll keep her belongings safe.
You're so easy to fool.
See, I told you...
You can take her stuff, but I'm keeping your Gashats.
I told you... Let's just go back.
BANG BANG SHOOTING!
- But, Nico's belongings....
- He just wants to fight you, let's just run away!

- Move! - I won't!
You're in the way.
So boring.
He's a Bugster.
He doesn't want to fight, so you're just one-sidedly beating him up.
Where's the fun in that?
If you wanna play so badly, I'll be your opponent.
What is that Gashat...?

Can you stand?
What's wrong? You okay, Emu?
My head...
Are you okay?
What was that all about?
So the intern has the game disease?
Yeah.
That'd explain why he could transform into Ex-Aid.
That might also explain why his personality changes when playing games...
You're not going to tell him this, are you?
Imagine the amount of stress he'll experience if he were to find out...
Let's go back to CR. Here, let me help.
Okay.
Are you okay?
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
Para-DX burns with anger
Oh, now I'm worked up!
We're all fighting desperately here, with the only lives we got.
A game with lives at stake
With this, you can no longer transform.
