If a player loses in a fight and gets a game over,
they will be erased!
Kamen Rider Chronicle isn't a game where humans defeat Bugsters.
It's a game where Bugsters defeat humans to eventually wipe out humanity.
The next generation of gaming is here!
Episode 26: Players Who Risk Their Lives!
Kamen Rider Chronicle is the ultimate battle game that blends the virtual with the real!
Copies are selling out fast!
You too, can be a hero!
Shops are flooded with queues as gamers line up to buy Genm Corporation's newest game, Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Talk of the town!
Crowds gather for “the ultimate real battle game”!
Amazing! The game is selling like hotcakes!
It's all thanks to the new president.
I must thank him.
Thank you... me.
Ah!
“The Ministry of Health is recalling Kamen Rider Chronicle and banning its use.”
recalling Kamen Rider Chronicle
and banning its use
W-Whaaaat?!
- That was quick... - Geez, I can't see!
The Ministry has made its move, huh.
Well, I figured they would.
For now, I've announced both the game's recall and its ban.
However...
Sir...
Many players have already lost their lives to Kamen Rider Chronicle after getting a game over...
What's the extent of the situation?
Kamen Rider Chronicle has already seen a nation-wide release.
We still do not have a firm grasp on the situation.
Players are infected with the game illness once they start the game.
If we leave them be, they could die.
We need to broadcast this nationwide!
No, we mustn't. If they know of the possibility of death, the nation will be plunged into chaos.
We need to stop people getting a game over and dying!
In any case, the Ministry are currently investigating this incident.
You are all to remain on standby to avoid causing any panic.
Why?
Understood.
I'm counting on you.
Don't dwell on it.
It was impossible to save anyone in that situation.
Huh...
So, you doctors aren't going to do anything for us, is that it?
Mr. Tenma...
You need to stay in your room and rest!
I'll be cured if we just defeat that Bugster, right?
I can't trust you CR goons with this matter.
If you lot aren't going to do anything, I'll cure my illness myself.
That game is dangerous.
So? I'm good at games.
Hey, wait a minute!
Hey! We were ordered to stay on standby!
How feeble!
You are far too feeble!
What's wrong? Is that all you've got?
Found you. I'm going to defeat you, Salty.
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!

Get lost! You're in my way!
You can't play this game!
Then gimme your items!
Hmph! What a salty bunch.
No! I can't fight you!
What was that?
Huh?!
Kamen Riders are rare characters, so you must fight the players!

Saving the players is against the rules!

I don't want to fight you!

Poppy, you're one of our friends, aren't you?
You helped us save so many lives!
Flick!
Ow!
Bye bye!
Poppy!
Nothing you do will work.
Parad...!
The girl's save data — her memory — has been reset.
What?!
Genm programmed her to collect data during her time as a helper of CR.
That was all she was made for.
As Kamen Rider Chronicle is now complete, Poppy Pipopapo has returned to her true self as a Bugster.
No way...
Poppy was...
Why are you so surprised?
Bugsters were born to take over the human body.
Poppy Pipopapo is no different.
What's the point of this absurd game?
All of this is what you humans wished for.
Games were made for entertainment, and villains were made as targets for relieving stress.
Which means, Bugsters are a threat to humans because you humans made us this way.
But we're not pawns for you humans to play with as you please.
Bugsters are also living beings that were born into this world.
This game will judge which species gets to live.
The Ministry of Health is about to hold an emergency press conference to answer any questions
Shortly: Ministry of Health Emergency Press Conference
Ministry of Health Emergency Press Conference
Shortly: Ministry of Health Emergency Press Conference
about the recall of Kamen Rider Chronicle and the ban on its use.
The Ministry is has left much information regarding this incident unclear,
You can't clear this game by yourself.
You need allies.
and everyone is eager to hear the Ministry's explanation for such a decision.
“To the players of Kamen Rider Chronicle”...?
“We cannot count on the Cyber Rescue Center.”
“I'm looking for players.”
“Let's all fight together.”
“If we don't defeat the Bugsters,
we will be erased.”
“We can only rely on ourselves to cure our own illness,” or so this guy says.
This is pretty bad!
So he's telling us that no one can stop the game once it has started, huh.
You've got that right.
Graphite...!
I see. So, Poppy Pipopapo has...
Why do you think we were told to stay on standby?
We're the rare characters in this game. If we go into the field...
...we'll only fuel the players' desire to fight us.
For now, we have no choice but to stay on standby.
Do you intend to ignore Secretary Hinata's orders?!
Please move!
We need to operate on the patients—
This is no longer an operation!
The patients don't trust us doctors.
Rather, they see us as enemies they must fight.
We can't operate on them properly like this.
We simply can't.
I will save the patients...
...even if they don't believe in us.
I see the quack doctor is still alive and kicking.
Who is that?
And when did you come back, b—
Show me that you can beat Kamen Rider Chronicle.
What?
See if you can keep winning until you're at my level.
Then we'll go one-on-one, you and I.
Kamen Rider Chronicle, huh...
Did Houjou really ignore the standby order?!
Yes.
Geez...!
We are only doctors because the Ministry of Health has recognized us!
Going against the Ministry is absolutely absurd!
Just what does it mean to be a doctor?
Does simply holding a medical license make one a doctor?
That's right! And that's a fact of life!
No... To be a doctor, you must—
Hiiro?
We have decided to recall Kamen Rider Chronicle, Genm Corporation's newest release,
because we have discovered a defect that may pose a threat to our health.
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
ENTER THE GAME! RIDING THE END!
When a user starts the game,
the Bugster virus enters the body and infects the host with the game illness.
What?!
Users on the Internet have been talking about this,
so I'd like to ask if the Bugster virus is capable of killing people.
We've also heard reports of patients dying during an incident called “Zero Day".
And didn't Genm Corporation help establish CR in the first place?
In any case, we would like your cooperation in recalling Kamen Rider Chronicle and restricting its use
as soon as possible.
Please answer the question!
Answer the question, Secretary!
Sir, we've received reports of two CR doctors in the field.
Feeble!
Too feeble!
Take this salt!
BURN!
You are either the bravest daredevil or the biggest fool if you think you can beat us at your level.
I underestimated them...
Salty. Alhambra.
Hm?
Show us all how strong you are.
Fine by me.
I'm going to put my all into it.
Have a taste of my legendary magic.
FRACTURE!
Hold it!
What?
What do you want now, M?
Things were just getting fun!
You're here too late!
We don't need you lot any more!
I know...
What?
It's frustrating, but I can't save everyone by myself...
Then don't crash our game!
But even so, I will fight!
Even if I'm by myself, I can still save a lot of patients!
Even if I'm by myself, I can make many people smile again!
Emu...
Everything you've said is true.
Excuse me, Secretary—
Aggravation of the illness and getting a game over
in Kamen Rider Chronicle can both result in the death of the infected.
But this is nothing we cannot overcome!
Leave finishing off the Bugsters to us.
Taiga...
Saving the lives before us...
That's what we're here for.
Hiiro...
We have talented doctors...
Let's go!
...that fight against the game illness for us!

You really are the best, M.
You have all been cured of the game illness.
Could you all please give me your Kamen Rider Chronicle Gashats?
You were super strong back there.
I'll tell everyone on the net to believe in CR.
I'm glad you're safe now.
Then... me too.
Same here.
I'm quitting this game.
Me too.
I'll beat Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Parad! Are you all right?!
That won't do, Parad! You must treat a lady with kindness!
Get ready for what's coming.
Things would get awfully boring if players start dropping out because of
the Ministry's press conference.
I know.
Those humans will come around soon enough.
They won't be able to resist once they discover...
...everything that Kamen Rider Chronicle can truly offer.
