Ever wonder why you're able to transform despite never having received the compatibility surgery?
Or why you were able to create that Gashat?
Or why your head begins to hurt after a transformation?
There's only one answer.
You were the first person to ever be infected by the Bugster virus!
The game illness is breaking out.
Emu...
Emu!
What the heck was that? I don't get this at all!
What happened to M?
Beats me.
Episode 19: Fantasy From Out of the Blue?!
All we know is that his game illness has broken out.
But...
Why didn't the Bugster come out?
But boy, am I glad that Emu's all right!
Glad that he's all right!
We can't rest easy yet.
The Bugster's still deep inside of him.
That's right. We can't rest easy.
Why can't you rest easy?
That's because—
Emu!
That's exactly right!
'Sup!
You need to go back to your room and rest!
Don't worry about me, big boss.
“Big boss”?
He's not playing any games now, yet he's got gamer M's personality.
What's the meaning of this?
Houjou Emu should've been erased...
I won't let anyone get in my way.
I will gather all the Bugsters' data and complete Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Only six Bugsters remain.

Yer focus is slippin'!
Do ya intend t' sully our Takinoryuu School?
My apologies!
But if I may, I did not—
Ya dare speak back, girl?
Anyway, yer always—
Golly, pins and needles!
What is that dance?
Sheesh!
Go! Pipopapo-turn!
Quit it! Stop playing around with me!
Houjou, you're not usually like this.
What're you talking about? I'm me.
Go! Pipopapo-combo!
Yay!
Hiiro... he frightens me.
Could it be that his character was possessed by a Bugster since his game illness broke out?
What?!
An emergency call at a time like this?!
There it is, there it is! It's game on!
“Game”? You...
A game where we defeat Bugsters, yeah?
I won't lose to anyone.
I gotta run. Laters!
Hold it!
Have a safe trip!
Maybe I'll give this a shot...
Costume change!
I gotta hurry!
Have a safe trip.
100 yen?
Stop right there, Ms. Mai! What's wrong with yer dancin'?
This is a very important prop. Ya need it.
Wait— Ms. Mai!
N-No, hold on! Ms. Mai!
So that's the guy.
How is the Bugster visible at this stage?
Her symptoms differ from usual.
Maybe the virus has mutated again?
Whatever, we have our patient now.
I've possessed this woman's body.
Systems activate. Level 30.
Level 30?
Oh?
You're Gatton, the final boss from Gekitotsu Robots, aren'tcha?
Game on.
Hold on, intern.
It's not the time for you to fight.
Give me your Gashat.
Hell no. This is my game.

Come on! Come at me!
ARMORIZE!
What's wrong?
Ha... Come at me.
And on top of Armorize...
SUPER STRENGTH!
Super strength!
Get outta here!
Wow...
Working out how to beat someone stronger than you is the best part of a game!
Energy levels depleted. Entering sleep mode.
Oh! It turned back into the patient.
Damn, what?
It seems the virus has gotten weaker.
Get up, lazy! You done already? Hey!
Get out, Gatton! Oi!
Emu, what do you think you're doing?
Don't touch me! Hey!
CLICK AND CLOSE!
CLICK TO SAVE!
What're you doing?!
Game's over.
The hell? Bo-ring.
Things were getting real exciting too.
Ms. Yamato Mai has just regained consciousness. We need to ask her a few questions.
I can't pick up any symptoms.
So his strain of the virus is different from usual?
Anyway, we should be able to cure both the patient and Emu if we defeat the Bugster.
Stop treating me like I'm sick. I've had enough.
Give me a call if Gatton appears.
What about the patient?
Patient? Who cares?
You're the doctor here. That's your job.
And destroying that Bugster is mine.
That's how it is.
What are you doing?
Snap out of it.
This isn't you.
Treating patients and making them smile again...
That's the Emu I know!
Emu, are you okay?
I said I'm not sick. I'm fine.
Emu...
I've had enough.
What?
Intern. To your existence, I say no thank you.
I'll talk to the patient.
What? You will?!
Anything the intern can do, I can too.
You're not fit to be a doctor like this.
Hey, that's mine. Give it back.
Things are getting pretty weird.
- Hey! Give it back!
- Emu, calm down.
If M was only a genius at gaming because of his game illness,
then I lost not to M, but to the Bugster inside of him?
Hell if I know. Don't ask me.
What's your problem? Then what do you want to do with M?
Don't make me repeat myself.
All I'm after are his Gashats.
Then what about after you take his Gashats?
I'll beat every single Bugster out there to a pulp.
So you're saying that you alone is enough?
Emu, snap out of it!
Hiiro, of all people, is going against his work ethic to fill in for you!
Fill in?
Whatever. Big deal.
As long as I can play games, I don't care.
I've been preparing for our traditional Buyou dance performance, which opens soon.
But I couldn't bear the pressure of carrying the entire name of our venerable Takinoryuu School.
I don't know if I'm fit for such a grand task...
You decided yourself that you want to be up on that stage, correct?
Don't dwell on whether you're fit for it or not.
Your resolve is weak.
My resolve...
That may be so.
However, the performance opens tomorrow, and with my body in this condition...
How to overcome your stress is a problem for you to solve yourself.

But that's a Level 50 Gashat.

I want to be as strong as you are, Dr. Kagami.
If you wouldn't mind, please do come see the performance.
Sorry, but it's my policy to not cross into my patients' personal lives.
Hiiro! Emu's back.
I'm very sorry!
I don't know why I was acting with that attitude.
Keep training your mind and your soul,
if you intend to continue as a doctor.
Welcome back... Emu.
NEXT EPISODE
Next, time on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
Amusement parks are the best!
I was scared.
You may never be able to turn back.
Fearing the game illness,
Emu is unable to transform.
