There! All right!
That's it, yes!
Houjou's off work today?!
Emu gets a break from his surgical internship today!
Only because Hiiro's busy with an operation and can't supervise him!
That doesn't mean he can take the day off from CR!
He can't? I was the one who said he could though...
What?
Emu's been looking pretty despondent these days, so I thought maybe he's overworking himself...
Wonderful! You've made a wise decision.
A doctor's body is everything to them!
Yeah!
Boo ya! A no-miss clear!
Ger ger ger ger...
Whoa! What the heck is this?
A demon?
You're not Poppy, are you?
Whoa!
Hold it!
Houjou speaking. I've located a Bugster!
It won't open... It's not... opening!
I told you not to leave the car!
My misteak, but the burgers smelled so good.
Episode 17: An Unlikely Burgster?
Why couldn't you wait until I came back from buying these?
Ah! Burgers!
If someone saw you, we'd be in big trouble!
Please, get away from that thing!
I'm a doctor from the Cyber Rescue Center.
I'll excise that Bugster.
Excise?
Please, don't! He's not a bad guy!
Huh?
That's right! Um...
Emu!
Is he the patient?
Ah, um...
Pardon me.
Yes, he seems to be it.
Ah! Taiga and Nico!
Don't talk to me like you're my best friend or something.
Hey, go beat up M for me, Taiga!
Don't talk to me like you're my best friend or something.
I'm your doctor so treat me like it.
Oooh? So you admit that you're my doctor!
Hell no!
Don't get in the way of the treatment, you two.
Don't get in the way of our game, you egg-norant nurse.
Egg-norant...?
Fight me, Ex-Aid.
Let's see who can beat the Bugster first.
We'll both put our Gashats on the line.
That's not fair now, is it?
Poor Bugster has to go against both of you by itself.
Parad!
Let's go two-on-two.

Please, stop it!
The patient's stress levels are rising!
Could it be...?!
Hey!
Stop attacking him!
Why are you protecting a Bugster?
It's not that! He's—
Hey, I'm your opponent!
Get serious already! You've got Mighty Brothers, haven't you?
If I knew this was going to happen, I would've brought my other Gashats!
Ah! It's his day off so he only brought what he'd need in an emergency!
Aw, what? That sucks.
Please, take this! Use this to save him!
What's this?
A new Gashat?
That Gashat...
It's JuJu Burger.
It's an action game where you have to match the voracious monster's ridiculous hamburger orders.
Hamburger?!
Never thought there'd be a Level 4 Gashat in a place like this.
Level 4...?
Right, I'll give this a spin!

Let's get away from here!
Quick!
Things sure are getting interesting around here!
What's the big idea?
You lost to that rollerblading idiot! What gives?!
Not bad, Ex-Aid.
You took advantage of your newfound agility and made good use of that Gashat. I'm impressed.
Uh, what? It's just a hamburger-making game.
Hamburger?
Geez, you're so slow.
My name is Koboshi Tsukuru.
And, that Bugster?
That's Burgmon!
Burgmon?
How's it hammin'!
I'm one of Genm Corporation's developers.
After our president, Kuroto, went missing,
I've been working on a new game to somehow get the company back on its feet.
I've... finally finished it.
However, it seems the Bugster virus got to the data of JuJu Burger and even infected me.
Burgmon?
Well if it isn't Burgmon!
Burgmon!
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Don't let it ketchup to you.
Then, how did you get this Gashat?
Actually, I've been involved in the development of Gashats for more than five years.
Is that so?
I went into the President's office and used the terminal there to make the JuJu Burger Gashat.
Yes! It's done!
You're on a roll!
I planned on taking it to CR if anything bad were to happen.
Are you feeling all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You're so kind, Burgmon!
Good boy! Who's a good boy!
Burgmon.
Tsukuru.
Good boy! You're such a good boy!
Yes you are!
I can't believe I got to meet the monster I designed!
I treat him just like as if he were my own son.
But he's the Bugster that infected you!
You're the apple of my eye!
But it's plain to seed that I'm not an apple.
Geez, you're so cute!
If your stress continues to build up, he'll take over your body and you'll disappear!
Ah, I knew it! If Tsukuru is to beef healthy, Burgmon can't exist!
What are you saying?!
I can't bear to live without you!
Neither can Burgmon!
Our hearts beat as one!
Man, I can't win.
Tsukuru!
Burgmon's Burgers
An a-bun-dance of the freshest ingredients from my conveyor belt!
Wow! Show me!
Pipupepo-perfect buns!
The crispiest lettuce!
Pipupepo-patty!
Tomatoes, red as roses!
Stack them all together...
JuJu Burger!
Dig in!
And dig in I shall!
Well?
Delicious!
Burgmon, you're amazing!
Burgmon did a ham-some job!
Let's go halfsies and eat it together!
Yeah, let's!
If I defeat Burgmon, Mr. Tsukuru will disappear due to his stress...
How should I go about treating him?
Oh, Hiiro! Was the operation a success?
Of course.
I hear we have a new game illness patient.
Burgmon! Let's play a rhythm game together!
Yes, lettuce play!
Why is there a Bugster here?!
Well, uh... there's a good reason for it!
- Intern, lend me your Gashat! - W-Wait!
We will now begin excising the Bugster!
No no no!
Please don't hurt that Bugster!
Bugsters are the foe of mankind!
Hiiro!
Don't just go and decide that all Bugsters are bad!
Burgmon is a good boy!
I knew it...
Burgmon is the villain of the game.
My fate is to beef defeated, sooner or later.
JuJu Burger?
It's one of the Level 4 games you had planned, right?
Right.
We couldn't get a team for it together so we scrapped it from our line-up.
Never though another human capable of creating Gashats would appear now.
Me neither. I must retrieve that Gashat.
Burgmon's gone?!
Yeah. I couldn't find him this morning...
Guys, come quick! Somebody left some pickles in my room!

Cutting him off seems a bit eggs-treme, don't you think?
I don't get this at all.
Hold up! If we switch these around...
“Tsukuru, i make u better”!
These pickles...
They're still fresh. He shouldn't be too far!
I'll mince you all for my next burger!
Like a waterfall, ketchup will—
No, I mean— blood will run!
Taiga. Finish him off before M gets here.
Hmph. Don't need you to tell me that.
Wow, you sure give up fast.
This is for the best...
Tsukuru, thank you for everything.
Stop!
Burgmon!
Tsukuru!
Your ketchup— uh, blood— will run like waterfalls!
It's not like Burgmon to attack people.
Please, stop...!
Emu, you need to stop Taiga!
Transform!
MIGHTY ACTION X!
End of the line!
Stop!
Befriending Bugsters that attack people, are we?
Burgmon isn't a bad guy!
What's wrong, Burgmon?!
I didn't raise you to be like this!
You've been fooled this entire time, Tsukuru!
Burgmon is a fearsome villain even in the real world!
What...?
Villain?
Burgmon is a villain.
My fate is to beef defeated, sooner or later.
No... that's not it!
You're playing the villain on purpose so we'd defeat you!
Burgmon!
Villains can have roles other than just to be defeated!
That's right!
The Burgmon of JuJu Burger is a lovable monster,
one that smiles with happiness when his orders are fulfilled!
Silence! I'll mince you all for my burgers, too!
If that's how you want to play it, then bring it on!

I can't believe this! It's a burger-making game and you go around shooting them down!
Do you even know what a game is?
We've cured the game illness, but somehow Burgmon hasn't disappeared.
Ham I supposed to disappear?
I think it's because to clear JuJu Burger, we just had to make Burgmon smile!
I see!
Then...!
That means I get to be with Tsukuru forever now?

How awful!
That's despicable.
Why did you do that?
Burgmon was a good guy!
So now you're vouching for Bugsters.
Is it your body making you do that?
Your objective was just to retrieve the Gashat.
Did you really have to kill that Bugster?
No one creates games without the Game Master's consent and gets away with it.
Then erase the data in that Gashat.
This game was my idea to begin with.
Don't lump my Gashat together with the Bugsters.
All Gashats have their vital role in helping create the world of Kamen Rider Chronicle!
