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...
You are the demonic scientist...
Katsuragi Takumi!
A terrible revelation has passed!
All these developments just ruined the Christmas mood!
I wanted to present the summary to the tune of "Jingle Bells"...
- MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY, MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Just hurry up and show Episode 16!
This guy's Katsuragi Takumi?
The Armed Hero
Episode 16
As if!
I was surprised, too.
Since I was convinced that Katsuragi died from that incident last year, after all.
Then, why...
Isurugi showed me something I thought was impossible...
Transforming someone's face right in front of me.
He apparently acquired the power on Mars.
After that, Isurugi began telling me the truth behind Katsuragi's murder a year ago.
Katsuragi
Do you have any intention of changing your mind?
You can't convince me.
I'm quitting Faust!
You of all people should know that there's no going back now.
Take care, bro!
We're going to barbecue tonight!
Just try and stop me.
I'll expose everything.
And I've already transferred my research data to a third party.
I guess I have no choice, then...
Looks like someone's here.
Sato Taro has arrived!
I'm here for that drug testing job—
Running from the sight of someone's face is rude.
- Mama!
- Mama!!
Well, I guess I'll start with this guy...
And now with the genius physicist, Katsuragi Takumi.
My neighbor was stabbed with a knife.
He was murdered by a man named Banjo Ryuga.
Please hurry.
Tsunagizu
Mr. Katsuragi?
Freeze!
Stay where you are!
You're under arrest on suspicion of murder!
I'm... Katsuragi Takumi?
Don't joke around!
Then that would mean that I founded Faust and experimented on people to make them Smash!
Don't screw with me!
Calm down.
Your fragmented memories...
Are Stalk's doing as well.
What's going on?
Please stop!
Hold up.
If I'm Katsuragi Takumi, then I should have been able to ask you for help.
Your memory had been erased before you were subjected to human experimentation.
What did you say?
But how if the gas hadn't been injected yet?
It's true that an after-effect of being experimented on using the Nebula Gas is partial memory loss,
but it's only limited to the few hours before and after the experiment.
Then how?
Isurugi erased your memory.
Before you were brought in to be experimented on.
Then...
Nabeshima's memory loss was also...
Owner's work?
Now do you get it?
You are the demon possessed by science...
The one who ridiculed justice and didn't hesitate to take lives for the sake of his own ambitions...
Katsuragi Takumi!
I won't let it end like this.
I will definitely return.
When that time comes...
You will work for me as my right-hand man.
Hey...
What was that just now?
You heard all that?
Sir, I believe you are overworking yourself...
I'm fine.
I still have to fulfill my responsibilities.
The regular meeting starts at 19:00 hours.
Before that—
Prime Minister!
What's wrong?!
Prime Minister!
- There's an emergency! - Prime Minister!
Someone call an ambulance!
What's wrong, Prime Minister?!
Prime Minister!
Are you okay?
Prime Minister! Prime Minister!
I've got your back, just like I promised...
Gentoku.
Interim Prime Minister Himuro!
Your father collapsed.
How are you able to stay so calm?
You're the demonic scientist after all!
Banjo!
- Shut up!
This is a problem between me and him.
You...
You killed Kasumi.
You...
You made monsters and hurt all those people!
Why are you so silent? Say something!
What do you want me to do?
Fight me.
I know this won't solve anything.
But...
I won't be able to sleep until I give you a good beating!
WAKE UP!
CROSS-Z DRAGON!
ARE YOU READY?
Henshin!
WAKE UP BURNING!
GET CROSS-Z DRAGON!
YEAH!
(Pirate) KAIZOKU!
GATLING!
ARE YOU READY?
Henshin.
Here I come!
I feel that...
You will be able to use Takumi's research for his intended purposes.
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!
Are you saying that you've never hurt anyone before?
READY GO!
DRAGONIC FINISH!
Fight me with all you've got!
RABBITTANK SPARKLING!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up.
THE EFFERVESCING BURST!
RABBITTANK SPARKLING!
YEAH YEAHHH!
READY GO!
SPARKLING FINISH!
It's just like you said.
I...
I killed your girlfriend.
I...
I've hurt a lot of people!
I'm sorry.
I didn't say anything about Owner.
Now's not the time to worry about others.
Well, it did surprise me a bit...
Hearing about my dad, and you.
All this time, I thought I was scared of having no memories...
I actually wanted to regain them.
But...
This kind of past...
I don't think I'm confident enough to bear it...
Whatever your past was, the Kiryu Sento I've seen...
Is a narcissistic, conceited...
Hero of justice.
That's not a compliment at all.
As you can see, the Pandora Box has been successfully retrieved.
Excellent work!
From now on it is the shared property of the three nations—
- Would you quit it with these shrewd shenanigans already?
Ten years ago...
We were all bathed in the Pandora Box's light and began to be controlled by our own desires.
Everyone here has thought of getting their hands on the energy within this box
and seizing the power to rule the entire world.
What are you saying?
Our policy is to focus on child-rearing support and agriculture—
- With your country in such a precarious situation,
I'm impressed you can say that, considering you put almost all your national budget into military development.
You...
You want power too, don't you?
It was not just the Skywall which divided our country into three...
Our individual ugly desires was also a cause.
So, isn't it about time we decided who should be the leader of it all?
Looks like I should probably buy an umbrella...
Who...
Am I?
So I've been deceived ever since that day then...
You're only playing at being a hero of justice.
Welcome home.
It's good to be back.
Just a game of Kamen Rider make-believe.
Hey...
Why are you so angry, Banjo?
Are you angry that Sento was the one who came up with the human experimentation that killed Kasumi?
Or was it that he created that evil organization?
It's not about that.
How do I say this...
Something like "I can't forgive myself for not forgiving him"...
Sure, he's the guy who came up with all those experiments...
But...
There's no use in blaming him while he has amnesia.
I know that...
But I can't push down my feelings!
Banjo...
You really are an idiot.
Shut up!
Those Smash look different...
The Guardians, too...
(Hawk) TAKA!
GATLING!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Henshin!
THE SKY VANDAL!
TEN!
TWENTY!
HAWKGATLING!
YEAHHH!
(Ninja) NINJYA!
COMIC!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
Build Up!
NINNINCOMIC!
AVATAR SKILL!
You made monsters and hurt all those people!
What the heck is he doing?!
ARE YOU READY?
Henshin!
GET CROSS-Z DRAGON!
YEAH!
Why didn't you attack them?!
I created them.
I toyed with human lives...
By injecting them with gas...
Making them into monsters...
If I wasn't around...
Nobody would've gotten hurt...
You didn't just create the Smash!
With that belt...
Didn't you create a tomorrow...
A future...
A hope...
For many people?!
You said you wanted to fight to become everyone's strength!
You stood up in order to protect people!
The one person who can achieve that isn't Katsuragi Takumi, nor is it Sato Taro...
It's Kiryu Sento!
Walking endlessly through the night
kono mama aruki tsuzuketeru
Following the footprints you've left
konnya mo massugu hitori no ashiato tadotte
This is the worst.
You actually slapped me back to my senses.
And if the journey takes an eternity
hateshinai dakedo kimi dake wa
I remember now.
I am the narcissistic, conceited...
I know you'll be waiting, with that neverending smile
doko ka de matteru egao tayasazu ni
Hero of justice!
There you will
Be The One, Be The One
Well, shall we begin the experiment?
All right!
Who won't ever give up Earth's tomorrow!

All right!
You'll become stronger, so that love always prevails!

Treasure and embrace the things you want to save
nanika wo tasuke sukutte dakishime
As you feel my beating heart be passed on
kokoro ni furete todoku yo tsutaware
Henshin!
THE STEEL MOONSAULT!
Be The One, Be The Light
RABBITTANK!
Send that message through as it reverberates!
Message okoru yo hibiku yo
The laws of victory have been decided!
It's time to stop!
READY GO!
Be The One, Be The One
VORTEX BREAK!
Be The Light...
More important than anything

You have to live on through the night

Keep wishing for the dawn's light to arise

Leading you into the light!
MILLION SLASH!
READY GO!
Be The Light!
Oh, you will be alive!
SPARKLING FINISH!
Be The One, Be The One!
You will be the one!
We'll make a way!
Just so you know...
This doesn't mean I've forgiven you.
I know.
Wait...
Who turned these guys into the Smash?
The Hokuto government.
So they attacked immediately?
What do you mean?
This morning, the Hokuto government issued a declaration of war.
Yes...
And so the war begins!
This is but a greeting from us.
I will make them acknowledge the power of Hokuto.
They're just ordinary Smash, so of course they have limitations.
It's no surprise, since they don't even have a sense of self.
Hey Akaba, what are you doing?
Hey!
The Boss is gonna scold you for that, y'know.
Quit your whining.
Hey, Boss!
Are you not done yet?!
Next Preview
Kamen Rider Build!
The war has begun...
I don't plan on becoming a tool of war.
Kamen Rider Build is a work of fiction.
You're only trying to run away by saying that.
The two Rider's bonds will be torn apart?!
The Rider System isn't a military weapon.
And I'm gonna prove it to you!
Outbreak of the Rider Wars
Episode 17
I'll do it.
I feel like there's no way I can lose!
