The end of the world can happen at any time...
Right in the middle of dinner, for example.
What is this?!
I'm moving so slowly!
I'm stuck!
I can't move!
It was the day they called the "Global Freeze."
On that day, time stopped for me too...
Settle down!
Caution: Flammable
Hayase!
What the—?!
Why do I feel so heavy?!
Move—!
It was the same day that my soul was shattered...
Ma
Major
Explosion
Tunnel Ahead
At the time, I still had no idea...
While the rest of the world was frozen, there was one person fighting to save us.
The rain stops, there's a break in the clouds
The blue sky's calling out to you
Alright, it's almost time to head out
I don't need anyone else's advice
I've gotta trust my own instincts
It's high time I found my own way
Fire Up, Ignition
The heavy pressure's on
Slam the accelerator and power through
Surprise, the whole world's got drive! (It's faster than ever)
Feeling high like you're finally awake (Show me your Drivin')
Once you're on the road to destiny (Keep chasin' forever)
There's no way to go in reverse...
All we need is Drive!

Episode 1
Why Did Time Stop For Me?
Metro Police Special Crimes Unit Officer TOMARI SHINNOSUKE
It's been six months since the Global Freeze,
If you Slowdown, Call 110 Make sure the Global Freeze never happens again!
Signs that Slowdown may be happening: Rain Doesn't Fall -Your bike won't move
and people are still afraid of the stopping sensation.
Run into Slowdown?
REPORT
People have started calling it "Slowdown."
There are currently no reports of Slowdown
Can't blame them for being scared...
My brain still feels slow, like it's stuck in the mud...
Enough already.
I'm done thinking about it!
What the—?!
I'm taking you in.
Metro Police Special Crimes Unit Officer SHIJIMA KIRIKO
Kiriko?!
Ow!
Kiriko, how did you find me?!
This is one of your usual slacking off locations.
Places Tomari Is Probably Slacking At: 1. Eastern Kuruma Park
Are you a fan of mine or something? Or my manager?
It's my job.
Come on now, we're going to the station.
Are the handcuffs necessary?!
I bet you haven't cracked a smile all day...
You all-business types are a tough crowd...
Kuruma
Driver's
License
Test
Course
Wow! Nice catch!
Good job, Kiriko!
That uniform was the right choice for the job today.
Metro Police Special Crimes Unit Chief HONGANJI JUN
See, your lucky color is blue.
October 6
Lucky Color
Kiriko
BLUE
Seriously, you see? Don't ya?
Your predictions really are on the nose, Captain.
Now that our resident slacker is here, it's time to make the announcement!
The Special Affairs Division Crime Scene Unit A.K.A.THE SPECIAL CRIMES UNIT
The Metro Police Special Crimes Unit is actually going to be taking part in an investigation!
Ain't that a shame?
You're disappointed...?
We're joining an investigation? For what case?
Haven't you heard?
I suppose not, you never attend any meetings...
This past week, there were a series of attempted murders.
A connection between repeated attempted murders and Slowdown?
Special Crimes Unit Officer: Network Specialist SAIJOU KYU
There were reports of the Density Shift Effect at the scene.
Density Shift
Density Shift?
Are you oblivious?!
Oh... you mean Slowdown.
Did you call it that, Rinna?
That's right. Please try to remember the term, Shinnosuke.
Special Crimes Unit Officer: Electrical Physicist SAWAGAMI RINNA
Division 1 is sending Lieutenant Otta to act as our liaison for the investigation.
Lieutenant Otta?! That's Gen...
People are gonna think we're even bigger weirdos than usual if he's our contact...
A real investigation...
Maybe I'll finally be able to move on...
Oh, well.
I'm done thinking about it.
Have you decided to step forward and become a warrior yet?
You again...
Whoever you are, you're persistent...
Of course I am.
I'm trying to make the choice easier. Getting you assigned to the Special Crimes Unit
not to mention getting you this car.
Ask someone else.
I'm exactly what I seem like... a lazy washout.
No, you're much more extraordinary.
You've just forgotten how to start your engine.
Start my engine...?
What the hell?!
Are you okay?
That was Slowdown, wasn't it?!
Yeah, definitely!
Slowdown reported! Confirm any slowdown reports
There you are...
So, this is where your voice was coming from.
Exactly! On the mark.
Now let's—
Huh?! What the—?! Wha?!
What the heck?!
Sorry to break it to you, but I'm a belt.
A belt?
Y-Yes, Kiriko?
We're moving out, there's been another attempted murder.
You'll rendezvous with Lt. Otta at the scene.
I've already sent you the location.
They're making their move. Let's head out.
No way! Not until you get off of me!
Suit yourself. Then I'll drive.
How'd you do that?!
Huh? Wha? What the—?!
Aw, come on!
C'mon, hold on a second!
Gen, the Metro Special Crimes Unit is here...
Yeah.
That's the team Shinnosuke was assigned to.
Metro Police 1st Division Lieutenant OTTA GENPACHIROU
What is that, cosplay?!
Sup, Gen. Long time no see.
Don't let people see us talking, you look ridiculous!
I concur.
Man, this beeping is really annoying... They say it detects Density Shift particles.
This body...
Actually, he's still alive.
Four other victims in the same state in the past week.
Yeah it's unusual, but I don't believe in this Slowdown crap.
So don't expect to take over my investigation.
Hey!
A piece of paper...?
Hey, keep it quiet!
Careful Shinnosuke, the assailant is still close.
Slowdown!
This is what they mean?!
He can move during the Density Shift?!
A monster?
Well now, don't you look lively.
Shift Cars, assemble!
What the hell was that?
- M-M-Monster... - Huh, something behind me...?
What are these little cars?
Friends.
Of yours?
No, yours.
Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Otta!
So, how was your first encounter with the Density Shift Effect?
I-I still don't believe in it!
Ow!
You're so closed minded.
Density Shift Effect is a sign that those monsters will appear.
It's common knowledge on the internet.
It's stupid! I didn't see anything.
I'll believe it when I see it!
Then I better bring the truth to light for you, Gen.
Hey, isn't that...?
I put this composite together.
First step is to find this guy.
Hey, wait...!
Are you trying to show up the First Division?!
Looks like he's finally in gear...
Gear? What kind of gear?
His brain's gear. His engine might be starting...
Times Tomari Has Tightened His Tie
I heard he transferred from a special investigation unit,
but that's the first time I've seen little Tomari act like that.
You're actually walking?
I don't trust other people's driving!
I think I'm almost out of it...
That muddy feeling that I've felt so long.
Masuda Nobuo. He's a regular at that gym.
It's definitely him.
The face is the same, but the hair's different.
And they've got two totally different body types.
Quiet down!
Slowdown?!
Masuda?!
You look so different I almost didn't recognize you.
You've been gone a while. What've you been up to?
Attacking humans...
Help!
Stop!
Help me...!
Not good!
Max Flare!
I can move...?
Thanks to the Shift Cars.
Let him go!
I'll need to be able to do more than just move...
He had allies...
It's happening again... I can't save him!
You too, Kiriko?
What are you doing, Tomari?!
Your engine started, right?
Then let him help you fight!
How did you know about the belt?!
Tridoron, shoot!
Hey, belt!
That's a little rude, isn't it?
Fine, Mister Belt! What do I do?
You need to transform.
Transform?
You don't like being a passenger, right?
Then take the wheel.
Rotate the Shift Car and connect it like a lever to the Shift Brace.
Like a lever... this way?
You lost an important part of yourself in the past.
But now you have the chance to save someone.
With me and your new friends, you can move through the Density Shift faster than anyone!
That's how you become the warrior known as Drive!
In that case...
If it will let me get there in time to save that man...
I'm done thinking about it!
Transform!
DRIVE: TYPE SPEED!
Who the hell are you?
Sorry, I'm not really sure either. It's my first time at the wheel...
Hey, monsters!
You're coming along for the ride.
Use the Shift Lever to accelerate!
Like this?
SP-SP-SPEED!
Wow, that is fast!
Try that on me!
Spike, Shadow, go help Drive!
Fight, Drive!
Change Shift Cars to use different tire powers.
Nothing like some vehicular versatility!
TIRE CHANGE
Tire change?
Nice...
MAX FLARE!
FL-FL-FLARE!
TIRE CHANGE!
FUNKY SPIKE!
SP-SP-SPIKE!
TIRE CHANGE!
MIDNIGHT SHADOW!
SH-SH-SHADOW!
Use the Speed Tire again for the finish!
ALL TIRE ATTACK!
THE FINISHER!
FULL THROTTLE: SPEED!
Nice driving!
I saved him...
Correct, and you did it with your own strength.
Where are you taking me, Kiriko?!
What is all this?!
What's going on here?!
What the...?
DEPLOYING
Welcome to the Drive Pit.
This will be our base of operations.
So, Kiriko was working for you all along?
That explains why she was so unfazed...
Our existence is a secret, even from the Special Crimes Unit.
The other victims have returned to normal,
so you're off to a good start.
I'm not so sure...
Was that monster really trying to kill him?
I don't think the case is closed just yet.
Roidmude Executor HEART
Would you like a new body,
Number 029?
Kamen Rider Drive!
The mystery behind the attacks is brought to light
I've got it!
We were wrong to assume they were attempted homicides.
Not just anyone can become Drive.
All Tridoron scenes filmed on private property after consent
Start your engines!
I'm a cop. And now I'm going to run for my friend's sake!
