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!
You two look picture perfect!
Gou!
What are you doing?!
What's the big deal?
I bet Kyu's gonna be surprised to see us.
Saijou Kyu Book Signing
I took the picture they used for the cover!
Didn't he train to be a network analyst?
He consults for the Special Crimes Unit,
Hooray for Life on the Internet! Release Event
but Saijou is still a big name in the otaku community.
Network Analyst Mr. Saijou Kyu Book Signing
Hooray for Life on the Internet!
Episode 20 How long has Saijou Kyu been a Roidmude?
Thank you so much! Sir Saijou, did you hear the news?
The rather disturbing news...
Huh, what news?
H-H-How could they?!
Slowdown...?!
Trouble, huh?
I guess it's time for me to really start the show!
Let's transform!
SIGNAL BIKE!
RIDER! MACH!
See you later!
ZOOM MACH!
- Here we go!
Gou! Come on... Mr. Belt, hurry up already!
Unacceptable... This is totally unacceptable!
That's far enough!
Searching... Destroying...
Both done at mach speed!
Kamen Rider... Mach!
Kamen Rider, it's really him!
Finally... I finally got to see him!
Made it just in time...
And now there's another one!
Wait, what?
Aren't you going to announce yourself?
Huh? Oh, okay...
I'm Kamen Rider Drive.
No, do it like he did!
Like the flourish I put on Mach.
Oh, sure.
Kamen Rider Drrrrive!
That's what I'm talking about!
What's with this Roidmude?
Not really sure...
He seems kind of familiar, though...
Aw dang it!
He's getting away!
I'm outta here!
Careful, they're armed!
They've begun to evolve!
I'll have Kiriko and the Shift Cars track him down, you concentrate on the fight!
Got it! Let's get fired up!
DRIVE: TYPE WILD!
Big bro!
SIGNAL BIKE!
SIGNAL CHANGE!
CURVE! SHOOTER!
SUDDEN CURVE!
We should retreat!
Right...
They were pretty tough, and they weren't even fully evolved.
Kiriko!
Tomari!
Hunter and his team tracked him down.
Wait... isn't this the apartment complex where Kyu lives?
Why did you do that?!
That's him...
-What was I supposed to do...? -You really goofed up this time!
I couldn't handle it!
That's odd...
It's like he's arguing with himself.
Let's get in there...
Freeze, Police!
Guys...
No way... two Kyus?
Well, for now... let's just apprehend both of them!
- Nooo! - Hang on a sec!
You're under arrest!
Their blood lust is potent...
I take it these are your Reaper Units, Medic?
That is correct.
Since Chase can not attack Roidmudes, he can no longer act as our Grim Reaper.
He can focus on the Riders, while we deal with resetting any defectives units.
Magnificent...
You are truly flawless.
Unlike Brain, wouldn't you say?
His opposite...
He's wrong! She has a glaring flaw...!
That insolent... personality of hers!
Personality?
It was getting confusing, so we had them change shirts.
To keep things simple, this is White Saijou and Black Saijou.
White Saijou
Black Saijou
Saijou...?
- Yes? - Yes?
Kyu!
- Yes? - Yes?
Q-Boy~!
- Yes, Sir~? - Yes, Sir~?
Good morning~
- Good morning~ - Good morning~
I can't believe my own eyes!
Well, you see, the truth is...
We're twin brothers, see...
Liars!
Looks like the Roidmude intends to keep this charade up, despite the situation.
We should interrogate them in separate rooms.
Yeah, then one of them is bound to slip up.
Saijou Kyu. Real name, Imai Kenta.
Black Saijou Questioning
Nooo, not my IRL name...
Real Name: Imai Kenta
That's pretty mundane...
Real Name: Imai Kenta
For a guy whose alias means "Superior!"
Saijou Kyu
Superior (Saijoukyuu)
But Imai Kenta doesn't have any siblings!
No Siblings
White Saijou Questioning
You never play along, do you Kiriko...?
Just tell us what's going on, and this will all be over...
Now what?! We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the doggie, would we?!
Help him!
You coward! Unhand Mr. Dog!
You've been living together since New Year's?!
Yeah, he...
...I mean Roidmude 072 copied me one day while I was searching for info on the Kamen Rider.
He figured I was connected to the Special Crimes Unit.
A Roidmude!
But he couldn't kill me...
So he ended up staying in my apartment, instead.
Every now and then he would switch with me and show up to work in my place.
Roidmude 072
I guess he never did manage to find any info on the Kamen Rider, though...
Right...
Okay. I understand.
Tomari, that was Lt. Otta.
Black Saijou just told the same story.
Both of them seem like the real deal...
I guess you feel stuck.
I don't get it...
I don't know which of you is the real Kyu,
but why doesn't one of you call the impostor out?
And why did the Roidmude go crazy and attack that girl?
You could never understand...
Why not?
You don't really watch anime, right?
I mean, you're a gear-head...
Police procedure is taking too long, as usual...
Maybe I should test them out with my fists!
Gou, the real Saijou might have been forced to cooperate.
Tomari... are you still out of gear?
You've been watching those DVDs for hours.
This building's a little weird, but you don't need to worry with me around.
I've almost finished Murmur Mansion.
And...
I've got it.
I need to ask the Shift Cars for a favor.
It's morning...
I guess they're letting us go for now.
Yeah...
- Lt. Otta?! - Lt. Otta?!
Time to force a confession!
- Wait, wait... - Wait, wait...
Reveal yourself, fake Q-Boy!
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Stop that!
Enough!
Lieutenant, stop!
There's no way anyone would fall for that!
It's okay, Gen.
- Shinnosuke... - Shinnosuke...
My brain's in top gear, now.
See this?
That's...!
One of only five commemorative plates that were created when the series aired in Japan!
Japan!
I've got an easy way to spot the impostor now.
Like this...
- How could you?! - How could you?!
- I'm not gonna make it... - I'm not gonna make it...
The commemorative plate!
The white one's the fake!
You can keep it. It's pretty convincing, for a knockoff...
It's an exact replica, created by the Shift Cars.
I see... then Shinnosuke is Kamen Rider Drive.
I guess that means this is the end for me...
I'm not sure about that yet.
I've figured out what's going on.
Kyu wasn't being coerced into helping you.
He was living with you by his own choice.
Don't go! I'm... I'm sorry!
It's just like Shinnosuke thought!
Saijou is covering for that Roidmude!
It's just like Shinnosuke thought!
Saijou is covering for that Roidmude!
Listen...
He's not a monster.
He's a weirdo.
Now, I'm done with you...
If you're gonna kill me, I have one last request!
Let me watch the last episode of an anime that's on tonight!
I have to see it before I die!
I'm so glad... I was able to see it...
It's a comedy, but sometimes they do some really touching stories like this one...
This anime is amazing... Who knew such a godlike thing existed?!
You... You understand me?
Yeah...
You guys probably really hit it off.
So you proposed the living arrangements.
And by switching places, you were able to enjoy human life.
The book signing was the same day the press conference for the Murmur Mansion movie,
so you and Kyu split up...
And then...
Hi everybody and thanks for coming!
I'm going to be in the Murmur Mansion movie...
You lost control when you heard some news about the movie.
That's why you went berserk and caused the Slowdown.
Hi, I'm Miyu!
Having a name similar to Mai's made me feel really close to the character!
I am super duper happy to get a chance to play Mai! I'm going to do my best, so please check the movie out!
So you grabbed that girl and tried to lecture her.
Why would he do that?
It's because...
That woman...
Is a voice actress!
Huh?
That's exactly right!
I'm... still not sure I follow!
Listen, Murmur Mansion is so much better subtitled!
If you use some pop star actress...
You totally ruin it!
Shinnosuke... you understand us?!
I watched it after you mentioned it.
It's a pretty good show.
I know that Kyu is a good person.
So if you copied him, I'm not just gonna write you off as a villain.
Maybe a Roidmude can become a good guy, after all.
Even if it's by accident.
Come to your senses!
You once fought to protect humans!
You are the Kamen Rider that saved my life!
Tomari, are you...?
You see a similarity between 072 and Chase...
I could have fought you...
But I wanted to wait until I heard your side first.
Shinnosuke... I-I'd like...
If possible, I'd like to keep living as a human, with Saijou Kyu—
Hey... Hey, stay with me!
Come on!
Every bit as defective as I had heard.
Thinking he could befriend humans...
You witch!
I'll let you handle 072, Big Bro.
But I'm taking the three of them over there, got it?
Shinnosuke...
No, Kamen Rider...
Tell the real Saijou Kyu... that I went crazy and you defeated me.
Listen... despite your perceptions, he can be quite emotional...
I can tell...
Because we have the same heart... you know?
Let's go, Shinnosuke.
Yeah...
Transform!
DRIVE: TYPE SPEED!
I guess you guys are the new Reapers, huh?
But now you're destroying Cores?
I've come to a realization.
No matter how many times you reset them, Roidmudes make the same bad decisions.
That is why, aside from Mr. Heart, myself, and a chosen few...
It would be more pragmatic to dispose of them.
That is how I will handle our affairs, acting as the new Grim Reaper.
You're no Reaper!
Don't compare yourself to Chaser!
They call me Reaper, but I don't destroy Cores.
I give Roidmudes the chance to start over.
We have a word for people like you, and it isn't Grim Reaper...
You're a demon!
What did you say?
Come on, Dead Heat!
DRIVE: TYPE DEAD HEAT!
Now I'm really burning up...
And I'm taking you along for the ride!
A laser scalpel! It can cut right through you with its heat!
It couldn't possibly burn as much I am right now!
Come on, Flare!
TIRE CHANGE! MAX FLARE!
THE FINISHER!
FULL THROTTLE! FLARE!
It seems Medic has escaped...
Broadcast Commemoration
I'm really sorry, guys...
Don't worry about it.
Still... It's a shame.
I can't believe he went crazy...
The Kamen Rider took care of him...
You've experienced something that no one else has.
I'm sure you can put what you've learned to good use.
Yeah...
Right?
Was that some good supervising, or what?
Now, who's gonna write the case report for this one?
- I know that tone... Let's get out of here!
You two aren't going anywhere!
Come along now!
Hang on...!
Tomari!
Tomari?
No fair...
Sorry, Little Lady!
Hang in there, Kyu.
Unacceptable...!
Kamen Rider Drive!
Machine Chaser: Serial Killer?
Two homicides, at the same time.
I'll kill whoever it takes to protect Roidmudes.
It finally begins—
If he really did kill somebody, I have to fight him...
The ultimate battle against Chaser!!
We'll have to give it a try!
DRIVE: TYPE FORMULA!
Episode 21 What can the strange victims reveal?
