Calling Dr. Shimizu from Neurosurgery...
I'll be back in an hour to collect more blood samples, so please rest until then.
Excuse me.
Episode 39: Goodbye Me!
How are you feeling, Dr. Hanaya?
I'm great. I have you to thank.
Excuse me.
At the rate you're recovering, you should be discharged very soon.
C'mon, now.
Are you seriously gonna act like that from now on?
I've got your clothes here.
Honestly?
Hearing Hiiro speak to Taiga so politely is kind of weird.
But Dr. Hanaya is a former employee of this hospital, making him my senior...
Just speak like usual. You look like you're having a hard time.
Then, I shall take you up on that offer...
Thank you, unlicensed doctor.
On second thought, polite is fine.
- I'll go. I'll leave Taiga to you. - Yeah.
I can't stand being toyed with like this anymore.
I will put Cronus into the ground if it's the last thing I do.
Is your body holding up all right?
The way I am now, Cronus doesn't stand a chance...
Who will be left standing, I wonder?
It's already over for the two of you.
Cronus...!
As long as Perfect Knock Out is out of the picture,
Ex-Aid will lose his ability to transform, and I will be rivaled no more.
CLICK OUT!
CLICKED IN!
PAUSE!
Once judgment has been passed, it cannot be overruled.
How are you moving?
It's all thanks to Gamedeus.
RESTART!
Your Pause no longer works on me.
Pause isn't the only power in Cronus' arsenal!
Graphite!
You really make my blood boil.
DUAL CLICK AND LOAD!
- The witness said it was around here, right? - Yes.
Graphite!
That means...
CLICKED IN!
How does it feel to be headed down the same path Toki Meki Crisis did?
FINISHER!
CRITICAL SACRIFICE!
CLICK TO SAVE!
Come now, what's wrong?
Why didn't you use Pause?
You're just going easy on me!
Think about how foolish it was of you to work against me... in death!
I won't let you kill Parad!
Hold it!
I've already prepared a fitting fate for all of you.
What do you mean, fate?
Which one will you choose?
Perfect Knock Out's fate,
or the patient's?
Nico?
What's wrong, Nico?!
What's with this mark? I've never seen it before.
It can't be...!
Gamedeus' game illness...?
Why did you go after Nico?
She's the Ride Player that has come closest to clearing Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Moreover, she's one of your allies.
You'll need to beat Gamedeus as soon as possible if you don't want her to be erased.
But to do that, we need to collect the Gashatrophies of the high-tier Bugsters...
I have some good news.
In the event that you defeat Perfect Knock Out, I will give you his Gashatrophy as a special reward.
This is Toki Meki Crisis' Gashatrophy....
Take it as an... advance payment, shall we say.
You were a game villain to begin with.
You merely exist to be killed by humans.
Please... don't tell Taiga about this.
Got it. I won't.
In any case, we need to defeat the final boss and clear Chronicle
as quickly as we can to cure you, too.
That won't do.
If you defeat Parad, Emu will lose his ability to transform.
How can you say that at a time like this? The kid's life is on the line.
There's no need to worry.
Even if you're erased, you can just continue as a Bugster like us.
There you go spouting crap again!
We must prioritize defeating Cronus.
To do that, Ex-Aid's power is crucial.
Why did you help me?
We would be in big trouble if you died and Emu lost his ability to transform.
You've got to be joking.
You really thought I would've lost—
Stop playing tough.
If I hadn't stepped in, you would've been killed by Cronus—
Shut up!
You make my blood boil.
I will be the one to defeat Cronus.
You can't beat Cronus.
I wasn't born just to be killed by humans!
I am the protagonist of Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Doctors are bound by their duty to take care of their patients.
The only option Ex-Aid has left...
...is to deal with Perfect Knock Out.
It's me.
Sir, regarding the worldwide release of Rider Chronicle...
What is it?
The manufacturer, Machina Vision, have agreed to cooperate on this project...
...on the condition that they receive one Gamer Driver in return.
Thanks for the update. I'll take it from here.
You are a greedy one, aren't you, President Johnny Maxima?
What? She was transferred to CR?
Yeah.
Just, uh...
Keep it a secret from the one that's stuck in bed there.
Otherwise he'd probably go nuts.
Got it.
We've got another emergency on our hands... I'll come again at sunset.
Did something happen to her?
“Her”?
Who are you talking about?
You're not very good at lying.
- You need to rest! - Move it! I'm her doctor.
I'll treat her.
Think about how she feels! She's worried about you.
These wounds are nothing. I'm fine.
Take care of your own health first!
Don't worry. You aren't the only one who wants to save her.
Nico!
Shh!
Her symptoms are worse than what we usually see.
Feels like we're finally going to fight the final boss, huh...?
Are you all right, Nico?
Of course not, can't you tell by just looking?!
- Ow... - You need to rest... Come now.
Hey, um...
I've got something I've been meaning to tell you.
Sorry for... all the trouble I've caused.
Huh?
I thought you were the one who beat me at that tournament six years ago,
and became super bent on beating you...
But it was actually Parad...
I'm sorry. I really am.
Don't worry about it. It's fine.
Emu...
I'm...
I'm so scared...
I don't want to die.
You'll be fine.
I'll bring your smile back. Don't you worry.
I promise...
Graphite...
Give me your Bugvisor.
Going to make Cronus pay for what he's done?
Then I'll go with you.
Just give it to me!
Parad...?
I'll take on Cronus alone.
- You said you'd treat Nico, but... - How do you plan to, Emu?
Kuroto. What would happen if we destroyed the Rider Chronicle Gashat Cronus has?
Why do you ask?
If we abort Chronicle, all the game illness patients will be cured, right?
Who knows... I certainly don't.
Answer me, please!
Her life will be stored as data, so there's nothing to worry about.
You should just focus on defeating Cronus.
You're still saying that?
Take back what you just said, Kuroto.
Nico's life is at stake here.
I shouldn't have bothered asking you.
Emu!
Emu? Wait, where are you going?
Just you wait, Cronus.
Don't push yourself.
I know you're really afraid of Cronus.
I'm not scared.
Then tell me...
...why you're trembling so much.
That's no surprise.
Everyone's afraid of dying.
I've been there myself.
16 years ago.
Just after I had been infected by you...
...I was in an accident.
The patient is Houjou Emu.
Severe abdominal trauma.
Prepare to operate.
When I thought, “I could die here”...
...my heart couldn't stop shaking.
I was scared.
So, so scared...
So what's your point?!
You thought if you told me that, I'd run with my tail between my legs?
No, I'm not worried about you.
I'm worried about the patient.
I don't want to let Nico experience that sort of fear.
And for that...
...I'll finally fulfill my promise to you.
Promise?
It's time to settle things...
...between us.
Fine by me.
Let's do this.
Max Transformation Plus.
HYPER MUTEKI!
Hyper Transformation Plus.
DUAL CLICK AND LOAD!
DOCKING!
CLICK WIDE OPEN!
MIX UP!!
IN—VIN—CIBLE!
HYPER MUTEKI EX-AID! PERFECT KNOCK OUT!
This is the last time I'll be fighting you.
I'll change your fate with my own hands.
Bring it on!
You can't win.
Shut it!
KA-SHANK!
You really thought you could defeat Cronus when you're this weak?
Shut it—!
Bring it.
This fight is over.
This isn't the end.
I will win next time...
There is no next time.
I'll give you an ending made especially for losers.
What the hell are you thinking, Emu?!
If we want to save Nico, we have to face Gamedeus.
FINISHER!
Calm down!
Fine! It's just as you said!
Destroy Cronus' Gashat and the patients will be cured!
There, are you happy?!
You can't lose your ability to transform!
Stop—!!
HYPER CRITICAL SPARKING!
Goodbye, Parad.
No...
No... No!
No!! No, I don't want to—!!
Parad...
Hey...
Come on, Emu...
This time...
...I win.
Parad is... dead...
Do you realize what you just did?!
You can't transform into Ex-Aid anymore!
You can't undo this, you know!
Emu...
NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
Even with his ability to transform gone...
Just what were you thinking, Emu?
Parad's and my hearts were connected.
Nico!
Is there nothing more we can do?
There is no commercial value left in any of you.
Ex-Aid returns to create...
If anyone can save Nico, it's Emu.
My Gamer Driver's gone!
Give me back Hyper Muteki!
Cronus. I will destroy your Gashat!
...the “ultimate form of aid”!
I am the law of this world—!!
Episode 40: The Fateful Reboot!
And everything will be reset?!
