I gotta believe!
I don't wanna know

Just spare me the sadness of our world
I don't wanna know
shiranai kurai ga ii no ni
I'm better off not knowing at all
Why, why, why, why?
kizukeba I came too far
Now I realize I came too far
tomaranai kanjiru kono yokan wa
I can't stop it; I can feel that something is starting
The new beginning!
michi no ryouiki ima wo kiri hirakunda
I'm going places I would never ever have dreamed of
I gotta believe!
Turn it on...
soutou EXCITE! EXCITE!
I'm so EXCITE! EXCITE!
takanaru EXCITE! EXCITE!
My pulse is racing EXCITE! EXCITE!
kokoro ga michibiku ano basho e
Never stopping, I just want to keep on running
kake nukete iku dake
Straight to where my heart desires
(HEY!) I'm on the mission right now
EXCITE! EXCITE! kotae wa
EXCITE! EXCITE! What's the answer?
EXCITE! EXCITE! kotae wa
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is...
I. kono te no naka
(One) My life is in my hands
II. susumu beki life
(Two) And all I have to do
III. ikite iku dake
(Three) Is live it to my best
To think that this would happen...
Never could I have imagined that
my own father would obtain the power of Kamen Rider Cronus...!
What's the meaning of this?!
Why is Dan Kuroto here?! Hadn't he been erased?!
It's Neo Dan Kuroto!
Neo Dan Kuroto?
What's the meaning of this?
Sorry, Director, but for now we need to move on. I'll explain later.
Move on?
It seems Dan Masamune is intent on getting in our way.
Episode 33: Company Reorganization!
Dan Masamune?
What's the meaning of this?
But just what is he up to...?
One of us Bugsters, dead...
That damn Cronus...
Hey, Parad, are you just going to let this go?
My deepest apologies for what happened to Lovelica.
Are you here to rub salt in our wounds?
All of you are precious products of my company.
I'd like you to keep the festivities going as the antagonists of Kamen Rider Chronicle.
I'll be sure to keep those Kamen Riders in check for you too.
Cut the crap!
The ones to crush the Kamen Riders will be us!
And after them, you!
I have the final say in whether or not any one of you is discontinued.
Why? What are you doing?
If you don't want to be killed like Lovelica was,
then show to me that there is still commercial value left in you.
Cronus, that bastard...
What is he planning now?
That doesn't matter.
No matter what he does, our goal is to clear Chronicle, right?
That's right.
I have something I want to tell you two.
It seems the Proto Gashats the Ministry were guarding have disappeared.
What?! We need to find them as soon as possible!
Hiiro's girlfriend's data is in one of them, right?
But who would do such a thing?
It would need to have been someone who can get past the Ministry's security.
Too feeble!
So salty!
I'll put you in a real pickle!
Are you all right?
Playing this game is dangerous.
Get lost! I know that much!
It's for your own health!
Enough with the squabbling!
Graphite!
We'll finish things for sure this time, Brave.
Were you the ones that stole the Proto Gashats from the Ministry?!
What are you talking about?
Hiiro!
Let me at him!
Not like we can just let this guy go, can we?
We'll just have to force the answers out of him.
We'd need to defeat him either way.
I'll take all of you on.
I hereby declare this match null and void.
- You're— - Cronus...
Kamen Rider Chronicle is a game made for the Ride Players to enjoy.
It is not a game for you products to be fighting each other in.
Shut it!
PAUSE!
Cronu—
Now then...
RESTART!
Emu!
Huh? Hiiro?
He's gone...
Brave...
What is that damn Cronus going to do?
What are you up to?
Taddle Fantasy.
I'd like you to help me in managing the operations surrounding Kamen Rider Chronicle,
as my right hand man.
You really think I'd submit to someone like you?
Proceeding with Level 50.
TADDLE FANTASY!
Transform.
LET'S GO, ONWARDS NOW!
DUAL CLICK AND LOAD!
CLICK AND OPEN!
DUAL UP!
TADDLE FANTASY!
My, my...
We'll put an end to Kamen Rider Chronicle.
And if you get in our way, I won't hesitate to excise you.
KOH-CHING!
PAUSE!
You, too, are a valuable product of my company.
I would prefer to leave you undamaged, but...
RESTART!
CLICK TO SAVE!
Genm Corporation is an ethical company.
Of course, I wouldn't employ you without offering some sort of payment.
A Proto Gashat?! Why do you have that?
To cure your game illness, we need to defeat Salty.
Enough! Leave me alone!
Please, you need to rest!
Shut up!
Are you all right?
Give me my game back!
- Wait—
Please, wait!
Leave me alone already!
I'm the patient here, and I'm telling you I don't need your treatment!
Have the Ministry of Health still not been able to crack down on Kamen Rider Chronicle?
While the lives of those who were erased are at stake,
the Ministry isn't able to inquire for a writ of execution.
What should we do...?
Hiiro, are you all right?
He was beaten by Dan Masamune, it seems.
What?
So? What did you want to talk to us about?
Dan Masamune was the one who stole the Proto Gashats from the Ministry of Health.
Are you serious?!
That's totally bad news!
The Proto Gashats hold the data of those that have been erased...
Which means father now holds all of the lives that can be continued in his hands.
We have to talk to him face-to-face.
I must thank you for coming.
You, too, are precious products of my company.
It is important we develop a trusting relationship with each other.
Could you please return the Proto Gashats?
They were developed by my company in the first place.
There is no reason for me to hand them over.
Just what are you planning?
I will export Kamen Rider Chronicle internationally
and make Genm Corporation the top game company in the world.
The world...?
I can't allow you to spread a game that threatens people's lives.
Of course, a sound opinion for a doctor.
However, there is no need for you to be concerned.
What do you mean?
It is not the intent of my company to decrease our player base.
Therefore, in order to avoid excessively erasing humans,
I will be controlling the Bugsters...
...with the master Gashat of Rider Chronicle.
How salty!
Parad, do you have any plans in mind?
Why...?
My heart is... trembling.
Salty?!
What just happened?!
It's Cronus...
He's out for the lives of us Bugsters...!
I've said it before;
all your fates will be for me to judge.
With this, your patient's been cured.
I have the final say in whether or not Salty will be defeated or revived.
You must be joking...
Toying with lives at the press of a button...
You have no right to protest against my company's management policies.
Then I'll do all I can to stop you!
I'll put an end to Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Oh?
He's planning on exporting Kamen Rider Chronicle all over the world?!
If that happens, CR won't be able to handle it on its own!
Things are in a pipupepo-panic!
- Unforgivable...!
How dare he take the game I developed and use it to boost his own status?!
We must stop Dan Masamune at all costs.
Yeah.
Is there no way we can stop Cronus?
My pipo-patella...
There's no way to defeat him.
What do you mean, no way?
The legendary power of Cronus is something for players to obtain.
Meaning, I never expected he'd become something players would have to defeat.
No way...
Could we not just use the intern's power to Reprogram that man's immunity?
As long as he has the power to pause,
landing a hit on him will be impossible!
Pause is something a player uses to put a game on hold, right?
Meaning, the only one who can move during a pause is the player himself, Cronus...
The... only?
There is a way we can defeat him!
I see! There's that!
You're amazing, genius gamer!
What's this?
You two are so smart I have no idea what's going on!
Explain to us in detail.
We only get one shot at this.
In theory, there is a way for us to seal away the power of Pause.
Hey, what's wrong?
You've haven't said anything in a while.
There's something I don't understand.
Why did Cronus take Brave specifically...?
Hiiro.
We'll definitely get the Proto Gashats back.
Being able to continue lives that were lost is just...
It's not something we, as doctors, should take to heart.
But you want to see Saki again, right?
I don't know if bringing Saki back to life is the right thing to do,
but if that'll make you smile, Hiiro,
then I will support you.
Me too!
Let's go!
Do I have your interest?
I would like to meet with your company to discuss a worldwide release for Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Of course. I'll contact you again for the date.
What's the matter?
As a parent, there is no higher joy than having my son visit me.
Parent...?
You told me my talents are no more than products for you to sell.
You're no father of mine.
I love you as always, my son.
That's why five years ago, I willingly took the blame for Zero Day.
Stop telling such blatant lies.
You've been using me for the last 16 years!
So you've finally realized...
That's right. The only reason why I took the blame was
so I could give you time to complete my Kamen Rider Chronicle,
Dangerous Zombie.
Stop distributing Kamen Rider Chronicle!
I refuse.
I was the one that developed that game.
I won't let anyone have it!

Of course. We'll definitely make it work.
What are they up to?
Hey, Parad!
How long are you going to be hung up on Lovelica's death for?
Let go of me!
You just wanted to enjoy the fight between Bugster and humanity, between you and Ex-Aid, right?
As long as Cronus is here, you won't be able to settle things with Ex-Aid.
Emu...
What's wrong... aren't you going to use the power of Pause?
There's no need for me to.
CLICKED IN!
So you're all talk, are you?
GAME OVER
Why isn't Genm continuing?
Did Genm die too because of Cronus' power...?
No...

How are you able to move...?
Pause stops the movements of everyone but the player, Cronus.
That is to say, being within your Bugvisor II left me completely unaffected!
RESTART!
Emu, Reprogram his immunity now!
Got it.

What?!
Hiiro...
What is he doing?!
Brave, you seriously...
Why...
Hiiro, why...?
Are you hurt, sir?
Good work.
Why?
Why would you side with him?
I employed him to keep you Kamen Riders in check.
What?!
In check?
Dangerous Zombie.
I admit you have immense talent as a game developer,
but you do not have it in you to stand above others.
For a company to stand,
hard work must be rewarded, and you must be sympathetic towards your employees.
That's what it means to manage a company.
FINISHER!
CRITICAL SACRIFICE!

Taddle Fantasy is my right hand man.
Good job.
I'm getting all fired up.
Hiiro...
NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
The reward you seek is within this game.
Hiiro betrayed his comrades?!
What are you playing at now?!
Why didn't you stop him, Taiga?!
Their bonds begin to split
I have no right to criticize him.
Will he defeat his friends?!
You can't save your precious little patient unless you defeat Brave.
We can take care of Cronus with this.
We can't withdraw like this.
I won't hold back anymore.
I'll excise you the way you taught me to.
Episode 34: Rebirth Made Reality!
And then—!
That Rider...
