I've gotta believe!
I don't wanna know about how cliché the world is
I don't wanna know and I'm better off not knowing
Why why why why?!
Before I knew it, I had come too far
I can't stop this premonition
The new beginning!
It's time to unlock this unexplored territory!
I gotta believe!
(Turn it on!)
I'm so EXCITE! EXCITE! Raise the beat!
EXCITE! EXCITE! I'll let my heart guide me!
Gonna go down the path it desires!
(Hey!) I'm on the mission right now!
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is...
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is...!
(One!) In my hands, I hold
(Two!) A life that should continue!
(Three!) You just gotta live!
If a player loses and gets a game over...
The player will disappear!
See, Kamen Rider Chronicle isn't a game where humans beat Bugsters.
It's a game where Bugsters beat humans.
A game to destroy humanity.
It's a new age of gaming!
Players Betting on Survival
It's the ultimate multiplayer game, where real and virtual worlds collide!
Kamen Rider Chronicle!
Now available!
You are the hero of your story!
Large crowds are lining up to buy Kamen Rider Chronicle,
the new game from Genm Corporation.
Wow!
The games are selling like pancakes!
Sir, how long have you been waiting here?
That's the work of your magnificent Genm Corp CEO. You should all thank him.
Two hours, I think?
Two?!
Thank you... me.
It says here that the Ministry is recalling Kamen Rider Chronicle
and prohibiting users from playing it.
W-Whaaat?!
That was quick.
So they finally made their move.
Well, that was bound to happen...
For now, we are recalling the game and prohibiting its use.
But...
Yes.
The players who already got a game over on Kamen Rider Chronicle are...
And so many of them...
How many casualties are we talking about?
Kamen Rider Chronicle is being sold nationwide.
The number is still unclear.
The players using the game will exhibit symptoms of game disease.
If we don't do anything, we risk them vanishing...
We have to warn the entire country!
No.
If the public found out about the underlying risks, it would cause a panic.
But if we don't, more people might get game overs—!
In any case, the Ministry is working on this matter.
You have to stand down for now, to prevent a mass panic.
Why...?
Understood.
I'm counting on you.
Don't overthink it.
There is nothing anyone could've done for them.
So... you doctors aren't gonna do anything, then?
Mr. Tenma!
Please, you must rest in your room!
My game disease will be cured if the Bugster is defeated, right?
I'm not gonna wait for you CR guys, while you sit there and do nothing.
I'll just have to fix my own body.
That game is dangerous.
I'm good at games.
Wait...!
Wait!
Hey, we're supposed to stand down!
Weak!
Way too weak!
What's wrong, is that all?
Found him.
I'm gonna beat Salty!
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
ENTER THE GAME! RIDING THE END!
You...!
Stop!
Transformation Plus!
MIGHTY ACTION X!
Stop it!
Go away! Don't get in my way!
You have to stop playing this game!
Then give me some items!
What a salty fellow.
No! I can't fight you!
What?
Kamen Rider is a rare character, and he has to fight the players!
Poppy!
Helping the players is against the rules!
CLICK TO GO!
Your popapipupenalty is disqualification.
Disqualification?!
TOKIMEKI CRISIS!
Wha?!
Transform.
CLICK AND LOAD!

Kamen Rider Poppy!
You're kidding me...
Hey! Poppy!
What the heck...?
Stop it!
I don't want to fight you!
Just how naive can you be?!
Snipe!
She might be Poppy Pipopapo, but you still have to fight her!
Spinny spinny spin!
Pow!
CLICK TO CLOSE! CLICK TO GO!
Pipupepo Power!
CLICK TO GO! FINISHING MOVE!
CRITICAL CREWS-AID!
CRITICAL HIT!
Taiga!
Taiga, you okay?
Doctors aren't allowed to offer treatment mid-game!
Break the rules and you'll be punished!
Poppy, you used to be our ally!
You worked together with us...
You helped us save people, remember?!
Boop!
Bye-bye!
Poppy!
You're wasting your time.
Parado.
Her save data, in other words her memory, is reset.
The only reason she helped you CR guys...
...is because Genm programmed her to temporarily collect data there.
But now that Kamen Rider Chronicle is finished,
Poppy Pipopapo can return to her original role as a Bugster.
No way...
Poppy is...
It's not that surprising.
Bugsters are born from taking over human bodies.
Poppy Pipopapo is not an exception to the rule.
What's the point of this messed up game?
It's all what you humans wanted.
You seek entertainment, so you make video games.
And then, to relieve your stress, you create characters playing the role of enemies.
What I'm saying is, we Bugsters threaten you humans...
Because that's what you programmed us to do.
But we're not your pawns.
A Bugster's life is still a life.
This game is just a survival of the fittest between two races.
The Ministry is about to begin an emergency press conference on the topic of Kamen Rider Chronicle,
concerning the mass recall of game units and the prohibition of its use.
The Ministry has yet to explain the reason of this order at hand,
I can't do this on my own.
I need help.
and this conference is expected to shed light on the situation.
"To all players of Kamen Rider Chronicle..."
"You can't trust the Cyber Rescue Center."
"Looking for other players..."
"Let's fight together."
"If we don't defeat the Bugsters..."
Our bodies... will vanish?
We must work together to cure ourselves, it said.
Isn't this pretty bad?
I guess no one can stop the game once it begins...
Now you're getting it.
Graphite...
I see.
Poppy Pipopapo is...
Why do you think we were told to stand down?
If the rare Kamen Riders were to show up, we'll just incite players to attack us.
Right now, we have to abide by the order.
Do you want to ignore Secretary Hinata's orders?!
Please let me go.
I must operate on them.
This is no longer an operation!
The patients do not trust us doctors.
Even worse, they think we're their enemies.
You think you can operate under that condition?!
It's just not possible.
Even if my patients don't trust me...
I will save them.
I see you're still hanging on to life, you quack.
Who is this guy?
You... you came back from the dead?
Try and beat Kamen Rider Chronicle.
What?
Play it, and get to my stage.
Only then, we will fight.
Kamen Rider Chronicle...
Is it true that Hojo is ignoring the order to stand down?!
Yes.
I can't believe it!
We're only allowed to be doctors because of the Ministry.
Going against them is out of the question!
And what does it mean to be a doctor?
Is having a license enough to make you one?
Of course it is! You know that, how could you—
No.
To be a doctor is...
Hiiro?
In regards to the mass recall issued for Genm Corp's video game, Kamen Rider Chronicle...
We've discovered a serious flaw that could affect the users' health.
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
ENTER THE GAME! RIDING THE END!
Upon activation, the game will trigger any latent Bugster virus in one's body,
inflicting the user with game disease.
There are some rumors floating in the internet...
Is it true that the Bugster virus can potentially cause an individual to vanish?
There's also information about a previous event, Zero Day, where the infected supposedly vanished...
Wasn't the CR originally formed with the the cooperation of Genm Corporation?
In any case, we ask you to refrain from using Kamen Rider Chronicle,
as well as for your cooperation on our mass recall efforts.
Please answer the question!
Please answer the question, Mr. Secretary!
Mr. Secretary...
We received a report, two CR doctors have mobilized.
Weak! Too weak!
Too salty!
Do you think you can win against us with that?
You're either very brave, or just foolish.
This can't be...
Salty, Alhambra.
Show them your powers.
Very well.
I'll make it something spicy...
Taste the power of my legendary sorcery...
Ruin!
Hold it!
What now, M? We were getting to the best part!
Why are you even here?
Nobody's asking for your help!
I know!
It pains me to admit it, but...
I can't save everyone all by myself.
Then just leave us be!
But I'm still going to fight!
To save however many lives I can...
And to bring smiling faces back to as many people as possible!
Emu...
It is all true.
Mr. Secretary, you mustn't...!
If the game disease is left unchecked, or the player gets a game over on Kamen Rider Chronicle...
The infected will vanish, leading to their death.
However, there's no need to give up!
We'll be the one to beat the Bugsters.
Taiga...
That's why we're here. To save the lives that are within reach.
Hiiro...
We have excellent doctors with us.
Let's do this.
Doctors that will fight the game disease!

I'm glad you're okay.
Then... here's mine.
Take mine, too.
Here.
Here's mine.
I will the one to beat Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Parado!
A-Are you okay?
That won't do! You must be gentle with the ladies.
It's time for the next stage.
With the Ministry's announcement,
it will be boring if we lose players.
I know.
The humans will become downright obsessive in their play...
The moment they realize...
Kamen Rider Chronicle has something they cannot resist.
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
The secret, forbidden rule of the game
Is it true you can revive vanished players?
Niko is on the stage!
Even if someone's body is ruined
I will charm her to my bidding.
The fated battle will never end
You're my patient.
Love & Peace For The Winners!
So stick close to me.
