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 are being obstinate, Brain.
You should have let me execute that useless fool.
Useless?
He managed to destroy a Kamen Rider's belt...
He will prove most useful to Heart... I am certain of it.
Doctor, how is he?
You... saved me?
I found you in the rain... unconscious.
I was—
Are you alright?! Don't try to get up yet.
I...
I tried to kill all of you...
I know... but I still had faith in you.
Because... you saved my life once before.
Don't worry.
Nobody knows that you're here.
No one, not even Kamen Rider.
What...?
You can get some rest, for the time being.
Midorigayama High School
What's up?
You again...?
This is getting old. Aren't you tired of this?
Now you're back in school, but you look so bored compared to the last time I last saw you.
When we brought you in for questioning...
you were so full of energy.
There was going to be an explosion, who wouldn't want to see that?
Shut up already!
You're just annoying me.
Leave me alone, already...
Here you go, all fixed up! Good as new!
Episode 24 What keeps Mach going?
I can finally go home and sleep in my own bed!
Good as new isn't enough...
Can't you power it up?
Even a new Signal Bike would be fine! I need to be stronger!
Gou...
I'm begging you!
I have to defeat the Roidmudes!
Gou...
Bombing: Midorigayama High School bus stop. Deadline: 1:13 PM
Hey, did you just—
No...
It wasn't me!
Hey, hold it! Stop!
What the hell is this?! Is he threatening me?
It's not a threat.
It was just a prank, like you did before.
It's you...! I thought the Kamen Rider killed you!
You were looking for excitement...
So I became you.
You understand, don't you?
You and I keep each other entertained.
And now you want out?
Well I don't think so.
Okay!
I'll keep sending bomb threats, okay?!
We're already way past that.
This is a game of chicken, there's no backing down now.
Not until you're dead.
Running will do you no good...
A Density Shift reaction!
There's a Roidmude in this area!
I gotta go... I'm counting on you!
A bomb in the Midorigayama market bicycle lot?
The deadline is 1:44 PM...!
That was close...
Good thing I trusted my gut...
Hey... You okay?
Are you hurt?
Nah, guess you're not.
Now then...
Are you ready to tell me what's going on?
This next one has to be even more exciting...
You again...?!
I guess Shin didn't finish you off the first time.
The second rate Kamen Rider, huh?
Have you come to humiliate yourself again?
This time I'm going to destroy you!
SIGNAL BIKE/SHIFT CAR!
Let's transform!
RIDER! DEAD HEAT!
SIGNAL BIKE! SIGNAL CHANGE!
SPLIT! BURST SPLIT!
You can't use the same trick on me twice!
Is it really the same?
What...?
Poison...?!
Looks like I win. Later.
Gou?
Gou!
SHIFT CAR CHANGE! HEAL!
THE FINISHER!
BURST! FULL THROTTLE!
HEAL!
Thank goodness...
NICE WORK!
At first, it was just a prank...
I'd go to school, then to cram school...
Go home, eat, play some games, then go to sleep...
The same thing day after day.
I just... wanted something interesting to happen.
And that's why you called in a bomb threat to the school.
There was never supposed to be a real bomb!
I just wanted to see the commotion...
But then...
There was an actual explosion...
I heard there was a bomb threat earlier...
For real?
That's crazy!
For a second I thought I was psychic...
Good thing no one was around...
But then...
Exciting, isn't it?
I'll keep setting off explosions wherever you threaten them.
I ended up helping that monster...
The fact that it was all so bizarre just made it more fun...
But...
I didn't think he'd start to threaten me.
There's a trace of a Roidmude traveling through Takuro's cell phone.
Tomari, come with me please.
I hope you realize how stupid you've been.
That Roidmude survived?
You reap what you sow.
Yes...
I guess I didn't destroy the Core...
Is Gou alright?
Yes, I had Doctor treat his injuries.
That's not what I meant...
Well, don't you think he's been acting a little weird lately?
It's fine, I'll just check on him later.
No wait, I'll go!
I'll talk to him.
Gou... You've always had a tendency of being impetuous.
But lately you have been far more brazen about it.
It's just...
Just what?
You saw Chaser's upgrade, didn't you?
The Roidmudes will keep getting upgraded like that.
And Drive will evolve to face each new threat.
But me?
I don't have a way to do that...
I'm being left behind!
Even though I need to get stronger...
I should be even stronger than he is!
I mean, Mach is the more advanced system, right?!
I would say that your impatience is hindering your growth.
The Drive System is linked to the user's state of mind.
Shinnosuke uses intensity to equip Type Wild...
A cool state of mind for Type Technic...
He was able to master Type Formula because of his faith in his friends, his support team.
Mach uses the same type of system. You were chosen to use it for a reason.
Try to remember what that was.
Once you see what you're missing, you'll find that Mach is just as capable of evolving.
I could be even better...?
Of course! Mach is the more advanced system, after all.
Captain?
You're under arrest!
Captain?!
What are you doing?
I heard that the culprit behind the bombings was here...
I'll go ahead and take him to HQ myself.
What a bunch of trouble to start April with!
Had me cover for the new First Division captain, too.
Look, I know you're feeling motivated, but—
T-T-T-Trou...
What is it, Kyu?
T-Trouble!
B-B-Bomb threat!
What?!
A bomb on Mogi Takuro?
And the deadline is today at 4:00 pm?
N-No!
Bomb threat? But I thought he was the bomber?
He was just the one sending the threats!
And now the Roidmude is targeting him!
It's a quarter to 4 now...
Hey! Hey!
Wait, wait a sec!
We better run, too!
Right!
Keys, keys, where are they... Do you have them?
- No other choice!
Captain! I'm leaving the suspect in your hands!
And you?
I'll inform First Division and evacuate the citizens...
I'm off to do my duty as an officer!
I wanna go too!
I wanna do my duty too!
Then please, Captain, stay here with the suspect.
It will make it easier to protect the citizens.
Godspeed, sir!
Otta, wait!
Saijou?
My Kyu~! Good morning little Kyu~!
You'll stay, right?
Uh, well I...
You'll stay, right?
I'm not really an officer, so...
- You'll stay, right?
I should evacuate!
Kyu? Kyu? Kyu?!
Kyuuuu~!
O-Officer, I—!
We're gonna be fine.
You wanna check our fortunes?
Are you serious...?
Commercial will let us know if there are any reports of Slowdown.
Good.
You're not gonna run, Kiriko?
No... I believe in you, Gou.
You do?
Of course I do!
Unlike me...
You've always been confident, even when we were kids.
Do you remember?
When you were taking karate lessons, and you lost for the first time...
You'll just have to get stronger, right?
It'll be alright, Kiriko!
Because I'm already strong!
Stop!
Thank you, sir!
And you really did win your next match...
I always thought the only reason we made it on our own after Mom died...
was because of you and your endless confidence.
Sorry that I've never been much help as your big sister.
Kiriko...
But that's why I believe in you.
I mean, of course I worry. But I believe in you more than anyone.
Thank you, Kiriko...
Let's go, there's only one minute until the deadline!
Alright...
SIGNAL BIKE/SHIFT CAR!
Let's...
Transform!
RIDER! DEAD HEAT! DRIVE: TYPE FORMULA!
30 seconds left!
Only 30 seconds left!
29! 28! 27! Ah!
There it is!
The Roidmude is in Central Park!
Okay.
I've got this!
Now, it's time...
Let's blow it away.
It's ten seconds past! Ten seconds past!
How about that? I stopped you this time.
It doesn't matter!
It's not the explosions I care about!
I want excitement!
Well, I don't particularly care about stopping explosions.
I want to destroy you.
Get ready!
You nuisance—
Looks like you're still a sucker for poison...
Gou!
Wait!
Wait just a moment, Shinnosuke!
I...
I don't have to push myself to get stronger anymore...
And that's because... because...
I'm already strong!
BURST! SUDDEN DEAD HEAT!
He burned off the poison?!
Now you see, the thing Gou had lost sight of in his impatience was his confidence! His faith in himself!
Gou...
Searching! Destroying!
Both done at mach speed!
Kamen Rider Mach!
Incredible!
Even with the meter maxed out...
It burst, but he's in control!
Shinnosuke, you can't afford to stand and watch!
Yeah, I know!
Okay! Start your engine!
TIRE CHANGE!
FORMULA ZERO THREE!
Why don't you sit this one out, Big Bro?!
Come on, don't be that way.
Damn it!
TIRE CHANGE!
FORMULA ZERO TWO!
Come on, Gou!
Fine, whatever. Why not?!
FORMULA CANNON!
THE FINISHER! FULL THROTTLE!
THE FINISHER! BURST!
FULL THROTTLE! DEAD HEAT!
FULLY LOADED FORMULA CANNON!
Alright! Yes!
Now do you see, Mr. Heart?
Is it not just as I said?
It would appear that Brain has a terrible eye for potential.
I respectfully disagree, Medic.
This was interesting in its own way.
I never thought...
I'd see anyone overcome the Dead Zone.
Think about what you've done... and when you've paid your debt...
You come see me.
I'll help you get back on your feet.
Yes, sir!
What the heck?
Something about forging a bond beneath the shadow of death.
Wait...
Now you don't want a power up?!
Yeah, it's fine!
After all...
I'm already strong!
Searching! Destroying! Both done at...
mach speed!
I'm sorry that he put you through the trouble.
And after I built a second belt to experiment on...
Kamen Rider Drive!
Give me the belt!
A Major Change!!
You can't! Not here!
S-S-Shinnosuke is—?!
Drive's Identity is Finally
Kamen Rider Drive?!
Exposed!
Protecting the people is supposed to be the duty of Kamen Riders!
Once the secret fighter, now hero of the people
Episode 25 Why has the battle changed like this?
