The Dark Ninja exposes Shinobi's identity,
and steals his gourd, the only means of accessing the Shinobi Driver.
Now, Kagura Rentaro faces grave danger!
My body won't move.
You're helpless when you aren't transformed!
Volume: The Close Call in a Dead-End
LAST NINPOW!!!
Ren!
Get out of here!
No!
I will save you no matter what!
What an insolent little girl!
What did you do to her?
I've changed my mind.
I'll be taking this girl as my prize.
Like hell!
Cloud Technique!
I'll crush your heart another day.
You won't take another step closer!
You're 100 years too early to be my opponent at this level!
Just as I thought, there's a limit to being a Kamen Rider.
A limit?
Two birds with one stone.
Now, all that's left...
Stop...
What's this?
Ninja Art: Reverse Two Birds One Stone.
Curses!
I don't know who you are, but I'm in your debt.
Transform!
WHO'S THAT?!
IT NEVER RAINS! BUT IT POURS!
THAT'S ME! A NINJA!
HAT TRICKERY!
ENTER THE SHINOBI!
KAMEN RIDER HATTARI!
Eh? You're Shinobi?
Yeah.
Up you get.
Wait!
Darn it! He put up a barrier! We can't get out!
Then we just have to take him out!
The barrier is equipped with a snap-back seal.
Any physical attacks will bounce right back.
Isn't there anyway to break it?
I heard the Dark Ninja is weak to light.
Alright, if that's the case, then go all out with Light Techniques.
Light...
It should break the barrier!
That's easier said than done. Light Techniques are difficult even for a high ranking ninja!
I...
It's too much even for the likes of me!
What are you two whispering about?
If I only had a little more power...
Ren! Ren!
Ren! Come here.
Look at this.
Ninja Art: Flame Technique!
You turned the power on with fire?
It's freezing!
What's going on?
It's a lamp I made utilizing the Seebeck effect.
"Seebeck effect"?
To put it simply, electricity is generated from the difference in temperature.
I made it from the stuff I learned at school.
Our electricity always goes off, if you haven't noticed.
But with this, we can save lots on our electric bill.
You're really something, Iroha.
That's it! Hattari!
I need you to freeze me solid!
That's a bit out of the blue.
Whatever, just do it!
I don't really get what's going on though.
Ninja Art: Ice Technique!
NINJA ART CHILL!
- Ninja Art: Flame Technique!
FLAME NINJA ART!
What are you doing?
Going mad now that you've realized you're both doomed, huh?
You heathen, you can use Light Techniques?
It's Ninja Art utilizing knowledge from daily life.
I call it, "Ninja Art: Ecological Light Technique"!
SUNSHINE NINJA ART!
I can't believe he used his own body combined with a technique!
He's one crazy ninja!
The barrier's down.
Let's do this!
Yeah!
Get them!
I won't let you lay a finger on Iroha!
Iroha.
There's no chance I could lose to someone as weak as you!
You definitely are strong.
But you use your power for evil!
What did you say?!
Power is not to be used for oneself.
It should be used to protect people!
Time to draw the curtains on this fight.
PUNISHMENT NINJA ART!
Let's go.
FANTASTIC NINJA ART!
Too easy.
Why did you hold back?
Ninjas killing each other goes without saying!
I will not show mercy to those who target Iroha's life.
But... you did not harm her.
Who put you up to this?
Nobody did!
I acted on my own volition, to steal the woman's heart!
The woman's heart?
When she's in tears and wallowing in sadness from your disappearance,
I would be there to hold her in my arms ever so gently!
And then!
Her heart would be all mine.
Don't tell me, you're gunning for Iroha too?
What are you talking about?
You really don't get it?
You're so oblivious!
Remember this for your days to come.
As a reward for sparing my life,
I promise to rip your heart right out of your chest!
Your reward system is terrible.
This is courtesy of the Dark Ninja!
Farewell!
Now I've gotta deal with another rival!
However!
My true rival remains to be Kamen Rider Shinobi!
Only you!
Shinobi!
Wait!
Where's Iroha?
No way!
She's not here!
Iroha!
Rentaro?
What about the Ninjutsu Tournament?
You're finally awake.
It was called off because the scroll was lost or something.
I've got the scroll right here.
See?
"One year's supply of rice"
The last one to have it is the winner, right?
You had it all this time?
Not bad!
Someday...
I want to be a splendid ninja like Shinobi!
You can do it.
You're you, after all.
Looks like you brought back the prize safe and sound.
Iroha gets the credit.
The bowl's hot and fresh for you.
It's so great to enjoy white rice after three months.
Also, I heard something that bothered me from the Dark Ninja.
"There's a limit to being a Kamen Rider."
So they've begun to find information about the gourd.
Please tell me everything you know about the Gold Gourd.
Don't pry too much.
Do not forget, that if not for me, you would have lost your life.
Rentaro!
You here, Rentaro?!
There's trouble!
That's one noisy fellow at the front door.
What is it, Icchy?
It's Iroha...
She was kidnapped by Shinobi!
Rentaro, dinner's ready!
Iroha?
How?!
She went back home...
Yeah. Why don't you stay over for dinner?
You did a lot for us today.
What did I do?
Stuff for me.
So, how about giving us a hand with the food?
I'd be happy to!
Iroha!
I will be the shadow that protects Iroha.
Until the day Iroha becomes 18.
Even if it costs me my life.
Rentaro!
Your company is on the phone!
You skipped work today without asking!
Ah, crud!
I forget to give them a call!
You get no sides today!
- You wouldn't!
Wait up!
The eastern skies are set ablaze
To be able to create light, a high ranking technique, this quickly...
Dyed in a crimson red
I'm trapped amidst a dream and reality
He will make for the perfect expendable.
And now my heart begins to beat
Walking a fateful path
Guided by a shining light
Leading towards the truth
Time passes by and I continue to remain the same
I've been burned by the very flame of my own wish
But that won't stop me from seeking it out
Even though the pain of being hurt has worn me thin
I hang my head down to its lowest depths
And let the heat of my boiling blood engulf me
Hope given to me by the fluttering leaves in the wind
Brings forth a gleaming and everlasting solemn vow
That twirling oath will dance throughout the vast sky
And transcend the limits of our time
Take my hand and walk the path of Shinobi
