Kamen Rider Build, also known as the genius physicist Kiryu Sento,
pursued the truth behind Katsuragi Takumi's murder in order to clear Banjo's name.
Eventually, it became known that Katsuragi founded Faust,
and Sento obtained the data that the scientist entrusted to his mother.
Hey, isn't "Kiryu Sento" the name the Owner gave you?

Correct!
TANK!
Sen
(Tank)
(Rabbit)
It's a combination of the words "Sensha" and "To."
Sen
To
RABBIT!
So you literally just put RabbitTank into kanji!
RABBITTANK!
Then what about "Kiryu"?
The place I frequently get my haircut is called "Barber Kiryu."

ARE YOU READY?
Kiryu
That's the reason?!

Let's just get on with Episode 9 already...
My name is Katsuragi Takumi.
I will be covering the fundamentals of Project Build,
an endeavor toward the development of a Rider System used for ultimate defense.
This is the basis of that system, the Build Driver.
If one meets the right requirements and equips it,
they can transform into Kamen Rider Build.
This is Build.
"Build", as in "to make", or "to take form."
Build's abilities vary depending on what Bottle is inserted into the Driver.
These Bottles are made using Nebula Gas that emanates within the Skywall,
and allows different special techniques to be utilized depending on the combination.
READY GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAHHH!
As shown here.
Furthermore, by alternating these Bottles,
a variety of Form Changes can be achieved.
For example...
This Wolf Bottle.
(Smartphone)
Along with this Smapho Bottle.
By inserting both of these into the belt...
One can become a Rider like this.
This is just a sample of what Build is capable of.
There is unlimited potential to be found within Build!
I hope to work with you in the future.
See you!
I can't believe Katsuragi built this belt...
Seriously, I would have like, never guessed!
He's like, super bad news!
Why are you talking all annoying like that?!
A girl I met at my part-time job taught me.
It's like, super cool, right?
More importantly, you stole this belt from Faust, right?
Yeah, along with the Bottles and the Panel.
I thought I could use it to protect Misora,
but I wasn't able to transform with it.
There's a minimum Hazard Level required in order to transform.
Hazard Level?
It's a measurement of one's resistance against the Nebula Gas.
For example, Banjo's girlfriend who reached a state of near death
after being injected with the Nebula Gas would be Hazard Level 1.
Turning into those warped monsters known as Smash would be Hazard Level 2.
And as for the rare minority that exceed Hazard Level 2...
They can retain their human body even after being injected with the gas.
So that would be you guys.
Oh yeah, Stalk said something about that.
Hazard Level 2.7...
It keeps increasing!
This guy is interesting.
According to Katsuragi's data,
transforming with the Build Driver requires a Hazard Level of at least 3.
Did he talk about anything else?
The most I can say right now...
Is that the human experiments that utilized Nebula Gas
were for the sake of finding someone qualified to use the Rider System.
I can't forgive that guy...
Not only did he use me as a guinea pig...
He's even responsible for Kasumi's death!
That Katsuragi doesn't even consider people as actual people!
He got what he deserved.
It's true that he conducted those experiments without regard for the side-effects of the Nebula Gas.
But looking at it from a scientific perspective, it's amazing that he even managed to create such a system!
What on Earth are you saying?
People have died because of him!
The "Kamen Rider" would've been used as a weapon if it weren't for Owner!
It's society that influences science to be used for military purposes!
Not the scientists!
Are you seriously siding with the Demonic Scientist?
Don't screw with me!
This doesn't even have to do with clearing my name!
Hurry up and get that--
Seriously, again?
Too tired...
I want my paycheck...
Too sleepy...
Im going to sleep.
So it's a lock Bottle this time, huh?
This is the best!
What is with you guys?!
It has been 10 years since the Skywall Incident caused by the Pandora Box found on Mars.
Our country was split into three - Touto, Seito, Hokuto,
and descended into chaos.
I walk endlessly through the night
kono mama aruki tsudzuketeru
Following the footprints of one person

Even if it takes me an eternity

I know you are waiting for me

Treasure and embrace the things you want to save!

Feel the beat of my heart echo through these walls!

Project Build's Trap
Episode 9
It has been a while, Chairman Nanba.
It's exceptional as always.
Nanba Juzaburo
Chairman of Nanba Heavy Industries
Every week as a child, I would be excited to come to this bathhouse with my father.
Did you manage to persuade the Prime Minister?
I have not, sir...
Do you realize just how much I've invested into Faust?
The Rider System is a military weapon that will change the world.
Or are you saying...
That you're okay with me leaking that to Hokuto or Seito?
No...
Of course not!
Then you better persuade him as soon as possible.
Are we clear?
I understand.
Scientists sure are a misunderstood profession.
What makes you say that?
Was Katsuragi Takumi really a demonic scientist?
He wasn't!
It's only ignorant people who disregard science that say things like that.
Kuwata Shingo
Touto Institute of Advanced Matter Physics - Researcher
That man was nothing short of a genius!
Kawai Eita
Touto Institute of Advanced Matter Physics - Researcher
This guy's a Katsuragi sympathizer.
But I suppose it's true that if Katsuragi were here,
we might have already figured out the Pandora Box by now.
All three Prime Ministers will be arriving tomorrow to inspect the Pandora Box.
You are all to collect the data you've researched so far by morning.
Tomorrow morning?
Impossible.
I'm sure you can manage if you work at it all night.
Get started as soon as possible.
He's like a cyborg...
I'm getting excited just looking at it!
Yesterday...
You timed that bottle explosion on purpose to interrupt our fight, didn't you?
It was just a coincidence.
Look.
I wanted to ask you this for some time now...
Don't you ever think of going out?
Like, "I want to go to this kinda stylish shop!"
If I went out, I would just get captured again...
All right!
Let's give it a try!
Hey...
What's with this high school getup? It's like I'm cosplaying.
Shut it.
Should've said something earlier.
Hey!
I wanted these clothes!
I'm ready over here!
Ta-da!
Let's eat!
Delicious!
Yum...
You sure eat a lot.
- That was awesome. - Hey!
Knock it off!
All right, let's go there next.
Another one?
It's fine, isn't it!
Mii-tan?
That was Mii-tan's voice!
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Yeah, it was!
- Mii-tan! - Mii-tan!
Mii-tan!
Crap... let's go!
Hey!
What do I do?!
Phew... that was close!
You almost toppled from being an "idol that you you can't ever meet."
But man, was it was fun!
This is my first time experiencing something like this.
Don't lie.
I'm sure you've had at least one or two boyfriends?
I was asleep for about seven years.
Seven years?!
I lost consciousness during the Skywall Incident.
It put me in a coma for seven years.
I see you're still spouting out game-changing stuff like it's nothing.
So...
What happened?
I don't really remember.
When I woke up after my collapse, I had this on.
And I've been unable to take it off.
I gained the ability to purify Bottles because of it, but...
Until Sento invented the conversion device...
Purifying even one Bottle would put me to sleep for a week.
Well, I still get sleepy even now.
That's why...
I've been longing for the life of a normal girl.
Did you and Kasumi go on dates a lot?
Yeah...
We went to a lot of different places.
Whenever I hold this, for some reason it makes me feel like she's nearby...
You really loved her, didn't you?
That's the reason...
Why I can't forgive Faust for what they did to her.
Same with Katsuragi for creating those human experiments.
And yet that damn Sento sticks up for him...
Banjo...
Run.
But...
I said run!
Sento, Faust showed up.
Right now, Banjo is fighting them in Area G3.
Why are they in a place like that?
Misora?
Hey, what happened?!
I've let you run free for a while, but time's up.
No...
I don't want to go back...
What did you do to her?!
Do you really think you stand a chance against me with the way you are now?
Don't leave me in the dark when you're doing stuff like this.
Stalk...
Misora!
Hey!
FIRE SKILL!
FLAME SLASH!
What are you doing?
Shut up!
I see...
You're in such an unusual hurry because of Nanba Heavy Industries.
The Rider System is a military weapon that will restore Touto.
Under no means can we allow it to be leaked to the other nations...
So...
What do you have in mind?
We'll retrieve the Pandora Box from the institute.
If we do that, there's no doubt it would spark a war.
Even my father would have to prepare himself for it.
Touto Government
Prime Ministers Tajimi and Mido have arrived, sir.
Where's Gentoku?
He will join in once he has taken care of his current business.
Pulling an all-nighter sure is exhausting...
What are you doing?!
Sleeping gas?
Now is the time for revolution!
Mr. Kuwata!
(Hawk) TAKA!
GATLING!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Henshin!
HAWKGATLING!
YEAHHH!
You saved me...
Where's Sento?
So you really did call him!
He defeated the enemy and returned to the institute without saying anything.
You still haven't made up with him?
We aren't even on good terms to begin with!
He might even be the culprit who murdered Katsuragi Takumi.
You don't even believe that anymore, though..
I was saved...
By Sento.
Because of this power, I was forced by Faust to purify Bottles.
Even after Dad rescued me, I wasn't able to use this power for a while out of fear.
At that time, Sento told me something.
That "because of the Bottles I purify,
the Kamen Rider is able to be a hero of justice and save many people's futures."
He has my thanks.
That dragon was even created with you in mind.
He said he wanted it to become a guide for you.
My task is not just clearing Banjo's name.
I have to guide him back onto the right path.
He said that was his atonement for letting Kasumi die.
"Letting Kasumi die"...
But he didn't even do anything wrong!
That's Sento for you.
Sento believes in the power of science.
It's why he doesn't blame Katsuragi Takumi.
He wants to do something about science being used for the wrong reasons.
That's probably what he's thinking.
It's finally time to test this guy out!
Well, shall we begin the experiment?
LION!
(Cleaner) SOUJIKI!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
THE MANED CYCLONE!
LIONCLEANER!
YEAHHH!
The laws of victory have been decided!
READY GO!
VORTEX FINISH!
YEAHHH!
Where am I?
I see...
My goal has been achieved...
Goal?
My job was to lure you away from the institute so that we could retrieve the Pandora Box.
What?
I am not the only one who fights for this cause!
The security lock has been released.
Commence the operation.
Retrieve...
The Pandora Box.
They're finally making their move.
Here's some new information on Build...
Chairman Nanba.
My job is done.
Don't!
I'll tell you one last thing.
Katsuragi Takumi...
Is alive!
