START YOUR ENGINE!
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!
The victim is Hanamura Kinzo, 65 years old.
Currently hospitalized after taking a blow to the head in his home.
Mr. Hanamura was a real estate speculator with a reputation almost as bad as some gangsters.
Episode 12 Where did the white Kamen Rider come from?
Hanamura Kinzo
We've had our eye on him for a while. Any number of people could have motive to attack him.
Given this history of possible grudges, we want to look into anyone with an ax to grind.
Yes, sir!
Hold on a second, Captain!
There were local reports of Slowdown at the time of the attack.
The culprit entered a crowded house in the middle of the day,
and took a statue out of Hanamura's hands before attacking him with it.
And you think a monster did it?
Could a normal human pull that off? I am 100% sure a monster is involved.
Gen, you've been acting like a real nut job ever since you started working with the freak squad.
The Special Crimes, right? The guys based in a driving school...
You've got my sympathies for dealing with that bunch of loony toons, pal.
DAMN IT!
I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
I'M GONNA PROVE THERE WAS A MONSTER INVOLVED!
But, Gen...
I checked the scene for Density Shift particles and nothing turned up.
YOU CAN'T BE SURE!
And there were barely any reports...
It's kinda weird if only people who were in the house claimed there was Slowdown.
WHAT?!
Y'know what I think? Some landsharks got territorial and blamed it on Slowdown.
Kyu-boy, Doc, don't leave me hanging...
Huh? Where's the Captain and the little lady?
The Captain's off entertaining some upper brass, and Kiriko took the day off.
Apparently her brother from overseas just decided to come back.
And now she needs to get her place ready for him.
Aw, damn it!
Everyone's goofing off when there's work to be done! I'm checking the scene with that blinky gizmo again!
Shinnosuke, gimme a ride!
He's certainly riled up after getting laughed at!
I'm kinda glad... Makes him seem like a real part of the team.
Yeah, I guess I'll go along for the ride.
Shinnosuke.
Hey, Mr. Belt.
Working a case?
Eh, I'm not so sure yet.
We'll look into it as well, just in case.
Yeah, okay.
Not getting anything...
Either someone imagined the Slowdown, or they're lying about it...
Now that's a nice picture.
Maybe I'll call it... a police officer struggles with the investigation.
Hey, erase that!
Not happening.
- Come on, just erase it!
Nope, no way... nuh-uh.
What are you, another scoop-hungry reporter?
How about we have a little competition, then?
A race, buddy. Let's see which one of us manages to catch the culprit first.
Special Crimes Unit Officer Tomari Shinnosuke...
Versus... the mysterious photographer.
Wait, you know who I am?
No way! What?!
Talk about athletic...
Hey, Shinnosuke! Where you at?!
- Gen... Gen, right here.
Look, I found something!
One of the locals spotted the culprit running off during the Slowdown.
Kuroda Industries
Yeah, that does look like our Todagawa.
Actually, he should be here soon.
Hey, Todagawa... Todagawa!
Suspect Todagawa
Hey, stop right there!
Suspect Todagawa
Hold it!
Quit running!
Stop! Hey!
Come on! You little—!
Speedy little punk!
Hey, put it down!
Oil
Density Shift!
He really is a monster!
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Gen!
Shinnosuke!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
Shinnosuke, hurry!
Nice! You really pulled me out of the fire back there.
Start your engine!
Let's settle this with a shootout.
Transform!
DRIVE: TYPE TECHNIC!
Oh, no!
Careful now...
It seems like he's capable of charging his shots.
His aim's pretty good, too.
Gen!
Safe!
You okay?
The Kamen Rider...
Your face is green...
He got away.
It's as good as confirmed!
Todagawa Naoki is one of those things the Doc mentioned!
A Hemorrhoido!
It's Roidmude!
Try to remember the terms, okay?
People have reported the monsters calling themselves that, so we can be sure of the name.
It's either their race, or the name of their organization...
And that's not all... I finally saw the Kamen Rider's face!
So lucky...!
For real...?
You actually saw him? You're lucky son of a gun...
Feast your eyes!
What is that?
If we investigate Todagawa, we should find the monster impersonating him.
Is that new gizmo ready, Doc?
Of course! Come on, Genpachi!
Okay...
Those snacks mean you're stuck again, right?
Yup, you got it.
Kyu, can I ask you to look into something?
He hasn't called...
There we go!
This is an archive of old internet posts.
When Todagawa first moved to the city...
he worked for Hanamura, who screwed him over and left him homeless.
Still...
He seems kind of... ordinary, for a Roidmude to want to impersonate him.
You're on the right track.
You...
Yo.
Who's this? A friend?
Just a super photographer, is all...
And pictures like this are my specialty.
A-A picture of a Roidmude...!
What are you...
When did you take that picture?
You're kind of slow.
You're falling behind in the race.
Funny, for a Kamen Rider that drives a car...
Hey! Y-You saw that, too?!
That's not a very trustworthy laugh you've got there.
Later!
Look, I don't know what you're up to, but you better cut it out!
It's dangerous!
Danger? That's right in my wheelhouse.
Kyu!
He tricked me...
He didn't throw the real one...
PSYCH!
What a jerk!
Tomari here.
Copy that.
Gen found where Todagawa's been hiding out.
Try and get a picture of the Roidmude!
I mean, if you can.
Got it!
Whoa, hang on...!
A picture of the Roidmude...?
Almost at the finish line.
I've got you now, monster!
Your Slowdown's not gonna work. Because, you see...
I got a Blinky Gizmo Mark 2, which lets me move during Density Shift!
Say your prayers, Hemorrhoido!
Yow!
Ow!
The Slowdown's gone... What happened?
I've got it, Gen.
Shinnosuke!
My brain's in top gear now.
He swung that pipe at you with his right hand.
But the Roidmude was shooting with his left.
- Which m— - Which means...!
The Todagawa Naoki you see is the real McCoy.
Yo!
And the Roidmude is someone else.
W-Whoa, come on, man...
I was like, finally in top gear!
You're not one of them Hemorrhoidos?
Exactly. Gotta swat these...
He turned down Hanamura's offer to do some dirty work, and in retaliation... One more!
His home was burnt down.
There!
He's after revenge.
Apartment Badly Burned. Arson?
I...
I hated him, so much...!
So, it really was a personal grudge...
Son of a...
The key point here is that a human was able to cause Density Shift.
I can see why you wouldn't notice.
See, he was able to tap into the power that causes a Density Shift using that band,
which was given to him by...
This guy.
No way! How do you get a picture of his human disguise?!
Losing consciousness in slow motion feels nasty...
Shinnosuke!
About time, Mr. Belt!
Transform!
DRIVE: TYPE SPEED!
Steering Sword, Door Gun, come on!
Japan's Kamen Rider doesn't amount to much.
Japan's...?
Tomari!
Kiriko? Wait, what are you doing here?!
I was... called here, actually...
Huh?
Ladies and gentlemen!
Huh?!
It's time for superstar action!
Hey!
Amazing Circus...?
He should be in America.
Looks like I win the race, Kamen Rider Drive.
I'll give you credit for figuring out the difference in dominant hands,
but it took you way too long to get into gear.
What?!
Unfortunately for you, it's time for me to really start this show.
SIGNAL BIKE! RIDER!
Let's transform!
MACH!
Damn it, you're...
A Kamen...
Rider?
Searching...
Destroying...
Both done at...
Mach speed!
- Huh? - Huh?
Kamen Rider...
Mach!
ZOOM MACH!
It's showtime!
FRONT WHEEL!
Damn you...
Whoa... What's his deal?
This is insane...
I figure 90 seconds before time's up.
Go to hell!
You first.
FRONT WHEEL!
Now for the last part.
SIGNAL BIKE!
SIGNAL CHANGE!
CURVE!
SHOOTER CURVE!
The shot curved!
How's he...?!
It's the power of the Signal Bike.
SHOOTER!
SUDDEN CURVES!
It curved again!
Time's almost up.
SIGNAL BIKE!
RIDER! MACH!
THE FINISHER!
FULL THROTTLE!
MACH!
Damn it... out of ammo!
How's that? Picture perfect, right?
Amazing...
I'll remember this...
Medic...
Is she a Roidmude?
Yes...
An executor with the power to revive her fallen comrades. She's returned...
I see you've created another Kamen Rider, Krim.
You're quite resilient for someone that's been turned into a belt...
I'll be taking care of Gunman. Good day to you.
What was up with her?
She can fix them all he wants, I'll just break them apart again.
NICE WORK!
Listen, you owe me an explanation!
- 'Scuse me a sec!
Are you alright?
I'm gonna clobber you!
My Japanese debut made a real impact, right?
I called you over because I wanted you to see.
You need to explain what's going on, Gou!
Gou?!
Hold on... Kiriko, how do you know his name?
He's Shijima Gou. Kiriko's younger brother who's been living in America.
Oh, Kiriko's little brother...
That explains everything.
Quite obliged, Medic.
You're welcome.
You were able to revive one of our beloved friends.
You truly are a healing goddess.
I'll help you with your plan, Gunman.
Mr. Heart, you haven't recovered yet.
You need your rest.
Brain and Chase can assist Gunman.
So, Heart's the only one she gives that kind of respect...
It's fine.
Her loyalty to Heart is something that's... admirable.
Introductions are in order...
This is my little brother.
Hello everybody!
I'm his little brother! It's nice to meet you!
Can I borrow some money?
Kamen Rider Drive!
Chase wavers
What am I?
0 is an honored number.
Gou can cause Density Shift?
We use the same powers they have to destroy them.
Kamen Rider Mach—
What's his true goal?
That makes us monsters too.
Episode 13 Why does my brother have no brakes?
Gou!
Enough!
