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!
Good morning, everyone.
I am Genm Corporation's Chief Executive Officer...
Amagasaki Ren.
I'm here to talk about our game, Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Love & Peace For The Winners!
Recently, the Ministry of Health issued a mass recall of our game's units.
If a player gets a game over on Kamen Rider Chronicle...
The infected will vanish, leading to their death.
However, this is just a temporary situation, designed to bring extra thrills to the game.
We can confirm it's not a flaw in our product.
What?!
If one could defeat all the Bugsters, collecting proof of their achievements in the process,
and then defeating the final boss, that is, the ultimate Bugster...
All the vanished players would be revived!
- What are you doing?!
It doesn't matter if you're not good at sports, or studying.
It doesn't matter if your work and social life never go as planned.
Everyone can become a hero!
Level up and play the game! Make it to the end, and save the world!
And that...
...is Kamen Rider Chronicle.
ENTER THE GAME! RIDING THE END!
Now is the time for you to become a hero.
Kamen Rider Chronicle.
A hero?
What the hell was that press conference...?
He's just talking nonsense.
Hey!
We're going to Genm Corporation.
Hey!
Do they want people to play that game again?!
Is it really possible to revive all the vanished players?
It couldn't be!
Bringing someone back to life... it's impossible.
Let me go!
Are you alright?!
It's Revol's game disease.
Don't worry.
We will treat your disease now.
Yes...
TADDLE QUEST! MIGHTY ACTION X!
Proceeding with Level 2
Transformation Plus!

Ride Player...
Nico is here!
What are you thinking?!
Just stand back, rare characters.
Wait! Stop!
Hey! I'm right here!
Boom.
Alright!
Not bad!
In that case...
Reflect get!
Plink!
Okay, let's use this.
T-That high?!
Wow, so high...
Finishing Move! Nico Critical Kick!
GAME CLEAR!
Alright!
CLICK TO SAVE!
Wow...
What's this?
Hi! You called?
Poppy Pipopapo will guide you through the game!
With every Bugster you defeat, you collect one of those as proof!
And you're the first Ride Player in the country to beat a Bugster!
Congratulations!
Alright! Yay!
Collect the rest, so you can challenge the final boss!
Let's game!
So that's how it is...
The Ministry is prohibiting its use...
So why did you play this game?
I'm sorry.
My boyfriend got a game over playing this game, and...
I just wanted to save him, no matter what!
If I clear the game, he'll be saved, right?
That's...
In any case, I'm glad you're okay.
Please leave the rest to CR.
Please do.
You better have a good explanation.
What, you have a probl—
Nico!
See, now we have even more problems.
Let me go!
Nico has Vernier's game disease.
Vernier, huh.
You...
What the hell did you do?!
What do you mean? It's my turn to shine.
All I could do was just stand by and watch, but now...
With this, I can become a hero.
I'm the only one that can clear the game in record time, don't you think?
You know what kind of game this is, right?
If you get a game over, you'll vanish!
As if I'd ever get a game over in the first place.
Give me your Gashat.
- Hey! Go get lost! - Just give me that!
Stop it!
Nico is being stressed out.
It must be because she can't play games.
What?!
What is with you?
You're always obsessing about Gashats...
You keep acting cool, saying the world only needs one Kamen Rider...
You say you're my doctor, but you never beat Emu up!
Why are you even with me?!
You're the one who stuck her nose into my business!
Oh, I see now. If you really wanna be a loner, just do it!
Whatever I do is none of your business!
Why, you...!
Taiga, please calm down!
Move!
Come here!
We'll treat her game disease—
It's useless.
Even if you do, she'll contract it again by playing Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Why didn't you keep a close eye on her?
It's none of your business.
It's only natural that she got fed up with you.
You ignored her feelings, and didn't even try to be honest with her.
With that attitude...
Shut up.
Kamen Rider Chronicle Player Numbers
Seems like the player numbers are rising again.
Your strategy is a big success, Parado!
To humans, their life is the biggest treasure.
Life...?
Unlike we Bugsters, they only have one life.
They even created this thing called medicine to help preserve them.
I see.
If they know they can reclaim lost lives, they'll want to play the game!
A game with real lives on the line is just too much!
Sir, do you really want to make our company go under?!
Oh, rest assured... nobody's going to shut us down.
Not with the lives of the people who vanished on the line.
Letter of Resignation
You can't just barge in here!
New CEO, same shady business, I guess.
I must ask you to leave!
Sir, you need to—
It's you again...
I'm so sorry, he just...
The rest of you, leave.
I can't have people barging in without an appointment, you know.
Stop announcing nonsense like reviving vanishing players.
Please refrain from making such accusations.
I know that's just a bluff so you can get more players!
And now, you've roped a game-loving girl into this mess...
Oh, I see. Now I get it.
Your little sidekick... Saiba Nico, was it?
Are you that worried that you may lose her?
What did you say?!
Please, let me go. You're going to ruin my favorite suit.
Just who are you?!
Why are you cooperating with the Bugsters?
I told you, you're going to ruin my suit!
This strength... so you're also a Bugster.
Thuggish men like you are the kind of people I hate the most.
I will charm that girl into my bidding.
Wait!
Nico...
Patients aren't allowed here.
I can get info on Vernier here, right?
You need to stay in your room and rest!
Don't worry about treating me, I'll do it myself.
I knew you'd say that.
Still, you dealt with Revol easily. Nothing less from a genius gamer.
That was nothing.
But Taiga really gets on my nerves!
Gaming is my life.
Taking it away from me is like telling me to die.
You have to understand, Taiga is really worried about you.
Of course I understand!
I understand, but...
Why do I have to understand his feelings, but not the other way around?
I don't get it! That's just not fair!
Yes, this is Cyber Rescue Center.
Vernier?!
You keep acting cool, saying the world only needs one Kamen Rider...
Why are you even with me?!
If you really wanna be a loner, just do it!
Whatever I do is none of your business!
There he is!
Nico!
If you would just rest here...
Of course I won't!
We just have to finish the operation before she feels any stress.
Seriously, get out of the way!
I've been waiting for you.
Genm's CEO?!
Why are you here?
Well, isn't it obvious? I am the one who called all of you here.
So I can help you, milady.
Wait, me?
I will take care of all those pesky doctors.
You can play the game to your heart's content.
Replicate.
INFECTION!
LET'S GAME! BAD GAME! DEAD GAME! WHATCHA NAME?!
THE BUGSTER!
Come out now, my lovely girls.
The game will begin!
What?
Even Poppy...
MIGHTY ACTION X! TADDLE QUEST!
I'm gonna do this!
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
Proceeding with Level 2.
- Transform. - Transformation Plus!
CLICK AND LOAD!
Game start!
LEVEL UP!
Okay!
Nico, wait!
I'll be your opponent.
You're in the way! Move!
Now, go forth!
Fight!
I told you, go away!
Fighting them just don't feel right...
A slap?
Now, now...
No no no, you can't go that way.
You cocky bastard!
You can all come at me together.
Master Lovelica!
Let's dance!
Don't mess with us!
MISS!
MISS! MISS!
Come on, get my heart pounding!
MISS!
MISS! MISS!
More, more!
Our attacks did nothing...?
What a bunch of brutes, thinking violence can solve anything.
Boo!
Boo?
Did they just boo us?
My name is Lovelica.
Tokimeki Crisis is a game where you charm characters of the opposite sex,
fostering their affection and ultimately winning their hearts.
A sincere wish to be able to play games...
To that innocent girl, I say "I love you!"
Master Lovelica!
Lovelica!
Now here I go! A gift for you!
What was that?!
That was an attack!
A magic of words, with high affection points!
Move!
Taiga, what are you doing?!
You should pay attention!
Are you okay?
Shut up! It's all your fault!
Look at them, so pathetic!
If you feel bad about it, how about you try to raise your points?
Well, that might just be impossible for a self-absorbed brute like you!
I'm not fighting to please anyone.
What?
Everyone has their own future.
That's why I should be the only one fighting... I have nothing to lose.
No matter how painful it is, no matter who hates me for it...
If it's just me, it's fine.
But you...
I don't have a license, and yet you said that I'm your doctor.
It really made me happy.
If you say not playing games will stress you, then I won't stop you anymore.
But...
You better not leave my side.
Taiga...
I have no idea what he's talking about.
Phase 50.
BANG BANG SIMULATIONS!
Transform.
DUAL CLICK AND LOAD!
CLICK AND OPEN! DUAL UP!
BANG BANG SIMULATIONS! GO!
You're my patient.
No matter how many times you get the game disease, I'll cure you.
Don't make me laugh!
CLICK TO CLOSE! FINISHING MOVE!
CLICK AND OPEN!
BANG BANG CRITICAL FIRE!
He did it!
GAME CLEAR!
CLICK TO CLOSE!
CLICK TO SAVE!
Girls...
Why are you falling for him?
Good for you, Nico!
Sorry for causing you problems, doctor!
Try and keep it to a minimum from now on.
Thank goodness...
Poppy...?
Oh, whatever! Stop this at once!
And you, girl! I see you have no taste in men!
What? But you're like, super lame.
Lame
Heartbreak!
I'm falling? No, flying?!
Serves you right!
You may say so now, but you'll eventually fall for me!
What's with him? Look at all those hearts!
Taiga, Nico.
From now on, let's work together to fight the Bugsters!
Huh? There's no way I'd play co-op with you!
We are going to beat Kamen Rider Chronicle.
You said it.
Hey, let's go eat something hot.
Seems like you're not the one to make her smile.
Well...
At least Taiga is with her, so no worries... I guess.
Thank goodness...
That smile...
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
Humanity VS Bugsters
Poppy is our ally.
No! She's one of us Bugsters.
As the battle gets more intense
Intern, prepare yourself.
The fate to battle will never end
Bugsters are the enemy of humanity!
Then fight me.
Overcoming the Identity
Attack me!
