10 Years Ago
Our country's manned probe was the first to succeed in landing on Mars.
There, a mysterious case known as the Pandora Box was found.
That was the beginning of the nightmares.
Himuro Gentoku
Aide to the Prime Minister of Touto
The Skywall Incident.
The fear from that day is still fresh in my mind.
"The mystery sleeping in space."
The dream humankind have been pursuing for a long time.
Congratulations on the return of Mars Probe Kiwami
The answer to that lies potentially here.
Today, we of the Kiwami Project will be making an announcement about this great accomplishment.
This object is believed to have been made by an ancient civilization,
and we've brought it here to Japan from Mars—
Stop right there!
- Please stop! - Please stop!
Stop it right now!
Don't!
During the ceremony for the return of the Mars probe,
a mysterious light was unleashed,
with giant walls suddenly appearing afterwards.
Those walls, the Skywall, split the country into three.
and three capitals were born in each region:
Hokuto, which promoted social welfare,
Hokuto
Seito, which focused on rebuilding the economy,
Seito
and Touto, which continued to embrace the ideal of pacifism.
Touto
As opposition between them began to grow...
Our country fell apart.
Foreign countries sought out to absorb the capitals due to this massive opportunity being born from the event.
Before that can happen, however...
That box's mystery must be figured out as soon as possible.
So this is the Pandora Box!
I've never seen this material before!
What's this made out of?
He came here asking if we were hiring any new researchers...
When we gave him the preliminary test,
Utsumi Nariaki
Himuro Gentoku's Secretary
he got all the correct answers.
So he aced that difficult test of ours...
Um...
Lastly, what are your thoughts on the Kamen Rider?
Recently, there have been reports of unknown beings known as the Smash attacking citizens on the streets of Touto.
Takigawa Sawa
Freelance Journalist
The one who has been saving them is said to be a mysterious hero known as the Kamen Rider.
That sounds interesting...
Well then, how about we talk overnight about this "hero"...
Over at the hotel next door?
What was that perverted assistant minister thinking?
Yeah?
What's he trying to get by asking to go 'over at the hotel next door'?
Editor!
I'm so sorr—
Smash?!
Hold up a sec.
READY GO!
VORTEX BREAK!
And...
All right!
Kamen Rider...
What the...

All right, good work!
What is it this time? A hedgehog?

Don't care...
Isurugi Misora
Too tired...
I want my paycheck...
Too sleepy...
I wonder what kind of ability I can use with this one...
I gotta test this out soon!
Nevertheless...
Isn't it just the best?
This invention of mine, that is.
Being able to turn a monster's essence into a power up for Build.
Of course, it's all thanks to Misora's ability, but...
My skill is what allows her power to be maximized,
So I feel like it could be appreciated a little more.
Punk...
Isurugi Soichi
Owner of Coffee Shop "Nascita"
Buongiorno, Sento!
You startled me...
Oh, and here's yesterday's harvest.
Bravo!
And to my lovely child...
Thank you!
So, have you remembered anything yet?
About what?
Your memories!
The twenty-something years worth of me-mo-ries that you lost!
I remember gas masked scientists...
Human experiments...
And some Bat Guy...
That's no progress at all!
Didn't you become Build so you could find that Bat Guy?
What should I do, then?!
Even though I've been turning the Smash back into humans,
They don't remember anything.
Oh, and by the way,
your rent for the past year has been really piling up.
Rent?!
This was accumulating?!
Of course it was.
Letting a man with amnesia stay here free of charge...
I'm not some sort of angel, you know.
Was that why you wanted me to get a job at that research lab?!
Today's your first day, isn't it?
Should you really be relaxing now?
Oh crap!
Is what you'd think I'd say right now.
But for times like these...
I have this!
What's that?
Calling in sick already?
Yup, that's right.
Hello?
Of course not!
It's an invention of mine.
BUILD CHANGE!
Right?
It's amazing, right?
It's the best, right?
I'm a genius, right?
Now, I'm off to the lab.
Let's...
Go? Don't think so, kid.
You're still in my shop.

So you got a perfect score on our test?
Fantastic.

That's because I have amnesia.
Seriously?
Well, whatever.
There's something I want you to do.
And that's to analyze this.
It's that famous Pandora Box discovered from Mars.
It's been said that there's some kind of energy matter more powerful than that of nuclear inside
That's pretty amazing.
To think a culture far more advanced than Earth's actually existed!
Do you know about the Skywall Incident?
I've read about it.
The Pandora Box had released light during the Mars Return Celebration,
creating the Skywall you see today.
It wasn't just the walls.
That very same light had affected the people who were present at the time.
It was as if they became more aggressive and war-like.
As a result, the country split into three opposing regions
concerning this powerful energy.
What is it?
I'll check it out now.

Banjo Ryuga is a former mixed martial artist.
He got exiled after participating in a rigged game,
and last year, he got a 10-year sentence under the suspicion of murdering a scientist.
The sensor's targeting him, but there hasn't been any reports of monsters nearby.
It could be that he hasn't become a Smash yet.
I'm sending you the GPS signal from his bike that I managed to hack.
Who the heck are you?
I'm here to arrest the murderer, in other words, you.
I didn't kill anyone!
Anything said by a fugitive like you isn't convincing at all.
I'm not escaping because I want to!
Well then, can't you just go back to jail?
No, I can't!
I'd get captured by those guys again...
Those guys?
Not like you'd believe me anyways!
Not bad, former MMA fighter.
However...
From here on, I'm going to be on a different level.
That strength...
Are you...
Did those gas masked guys do something to you too?
Or are you working with them?
Gas masked?
Don't act dumb!
They experimented on me like a guinea pig!
Gas masks, human experimentation...
What do you mean?
There's nothing to explain!
A bald prison guard came up to me from behind...
Touto Correctional District
Touto Central Prison
Let go of me!
Help us!
Let go!
What are you doing to me!
Hey!
Is that all true?!
There should have been a Bat Guy too!
A man with the design of a bat, in all blac—
How do I know?!
What the heck is this ugly thing?
It's a Smash!
Smash?
They're humans whose appearances have changed into violent creatures...
You can't reason with them until they're defeated!
Taking a Smash head-on...
That takes guts.
Leave the rest to me.
Well...
Shall we begin the experiment?
RABBIT!
TANK!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?

THE STEEL MOONSAULT!

YEAHHH!
- What is that?
The laws of victory have been decided!

RABBITTANK!
YEAHHH!
Hang on a moment.
READY GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAHHH!
Incredible...
All right!
You were there at the place with those gas masked guys, right?
What are you talking about?
Where...
Who... am I?
What is this place?
Don't act dumb!
It's the truth...
Something was done to both our bodies.
Please, believe me!
If what you said is really true...
Then that was a human experiment for Smash...
So you're the Kamen Rider?
I've heard the rumors.
Why don't you hand over that murderer, Banjo Ryuga, to us?
I haven't killed anyone!
I may be a good for nothing scumbag idiot, but...
I would never do such a thing.
Why...
Why does nobody believe me?!
This is the worst.
I'm definitely gonna regret this day for sure.
BUILD CHANGE!
Get on.
Get on already!
Get off of me!
Move it!
Capture them, dead or alive.
Don't let them escape!
Assistant Prime Minister, if we kill them...
I don't care!
Toys that break this easily aren't worth our time.
TARGET AQUIRED.
You ride!
Hey!
Pay attention!
YEAHHH!
Jeez...
I walk endlessly through the night
kono mama aruki tsudzuketeru
Now I've become a fugitive myself...
Why did you help me?
Following the footprints of one person
konnya mo massugu hitori no ashiato tadotte
I believed you.
That's all there was to it.
A real idiot wouldn't call themselves an idiot.
Even if it takes me an eternity

You don't seem like the type to lie.
I know you are waiting for me

Always with a smile

Your pants' zippers are down though.
There you will
YEAHHH!
Seriously?!
Since when?!
Be The One, Be The One
From the very beginning.
Why didn't you say anything?
All right!
I didn't have the right timing.
The one that'll never give up Earth's tomorrow!
ashita no chikyuu wo nagedasenai kara
Should've noticed yourself, idiot.
Who are you calling "idiot"?
Be The One, Be The Light
- Didn't you just tell me that I wasn't an idiot? - Stop that, seriously!
Send that message through as it reverberates!
Message okuru yo hibiku yo
You idiot, stop!
Don't call me an idiot!
And so the war begins.
