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!
This one!
I win!
Now I get to flick your ears!
Good morning!
Captain Nira?!
Looks like another boring day for the dumpster patrol!
Metro PD 1st Division - Captain Nira Mitsuhide
Oh boy, it's the quintessential obnoxious authoritarian...
Seriously, he's like a crooked politician from an old movie...
Captain Honganji...
Could you please leave Otta out of your preposterous paranormal investigations.
Do we have to do this again, Captain Nira? Stop posturing every time you come around.
You're starting to give me an ulcer with that act!
You Special Crimes dolts never accomplish anything, do you?
Captain—
If I don't see some results soon then I'll have you shut down, mark my words.
What are you talking about?!
There are a ton of cases that would have gone unsolved if it weren't for us!
Huh, did I just hear something insubordinate...?
Oh, yes...
You're Tomari Shinnosuke, aren't you?
That's right...
I heard you washed up here because of what happened to Officer Hayase, is that right?
I owe a lot to your dearly departed father.
You really ought to get on my good side once this sideshow shuts down.
Sorry, Shinnosuke! He's just narrow minded!
Captain Nira, please wait!
He really ticks me off!
Right, Kiriko?
She's not even listening...
Episode 25 Why has the battle changed like this?
What would you have said to him, Dad?
Oh, so this is your old man, Shin? I bet he was a good guy.
First Division's on your case, huh?
I wanted to tell him...
The only reason I've been able to make it as Kamen Rider is because of the Special Crimes Unit.
I understand how you feel, Shinnosuke. But Drive's identity must remain a secret.
But now that the enemy's becoming more of a threat—
- I said no!
It is still too soon to trust the police with this.
They could be used as a means for the Roidmudes to find a weakness in Drive.
Can we really keep this up, though?
Living a double life as a cop and a Kamen Rider...
I can imagine how stressful that must be, Shin.
Not that I can relate...
This is Tomari.
Density Shift?!
Got it...
Taga Hajime...
I've been looking for a human like you, for the next step in our evolution.
Take this.
W-What the hell are you?!
Your criminal record is magnificent...
You are like violence incarnate!
Magnificent? Me...?
That's rich...
Wish upon the Neo-Viral Core, ask to fuse with me...
Do that and we will become one entity, wielding unstoppable power!
If I don't... I'll probably just get locked up again.
Fine...
I'll take your offer!
I've synchronized with the darkness in your heart!
I'm... a monster?
We are the Sword Roidmude.
This is the physical embodiment of your darkest desires.
Nice...
Look how sharp these are!
Time to carve up some pigs!
Who the hell are you two?!
- We're the Kamen Riders! - We're the Kamen Riders!
- You haven't heard of us? - You haven't heard of us?
Are you alright?
Yeah...
Y-Yeah...
So they're real...
The monsters... and the Kamen Riders!
This power is all mine?!
Correct! Now you are the ultimate tool of destruction!
What's with him?
He's been talking to someone...
Much like you and I do, Shinnosuke...
I'll play with you chumps later!
I know who I'm going after first...
Watch out! Vegas!
SIGNAL BIKE! SIGNAL CHANGE! TIRE CHANGE!
DREAM VEGAS! SPLIT!
He got away...
Anyone hurt?
We're fine...
- Kamen Rider... - Kamen Rider!
That's me...
Yes, I know...
That Roidmude's evolution...
It couldn't be...
Hunter, follow him!
It's so quiet...
I have lost so many friends...
Mr. Heart...
007 has achieved a new form of evolution.
He used a red Viral Core I have never seen before and fused with a human.
Rather than copy a human's emotions...
He integrated himself with a human... I can see how that would make for a powerful evolution.
I wonder if that Viral Core was a creation of Brain's...
I sincerely doubt he's capable of something like that.
In that case, I know who it must have been...
If the officer's testimonies are accurate, then we're facing a dangerous foe. A type of fusion evolution.
What's even worse, this is a human that's willingly cooperating...
This guy's a violent criminal, right?
Why don't we take him out?
What are you saying?!
Even if he's a criminal, we can't kill him...
I agree.
Drive can be asked to eliminate Roidmudes because they are mechanical life forms.
But we're dealing with a human...
I'm a cop.
My duty is to apprehend him. The law decides his punishment.
I knew you'd say that.
Well, I'm gonna track down this guy with the Signal Bikes.
Then the question becomes how to deal with him...
I could tune the Driver so the finishing move only targets the Roidmude body and Core.
You're going to adjust me...?
But you'll need a sample of an upgraded Roidmude in order to make your modifications...
A sample from a Roidmude...
Oh crap, I'm late for the meeting!
Go ahead and get to work, Rinna.
Okay!
Come on, Kiriko.
Okay!
Now, then... come on!
- W-Wait, Rinna! Please be gentle, okay?!
No, not there...!
Tomari!
I'm sorry... There's somewhere I have to go.
- Huh? Where?
Hey!
DRIVE: TYPE SPEED!
RIDER! MACH!
Hey!
Come on!
Kamen Rider really does exist!
Gen, please forgive us!
We're sorry we laughed at you over this monster business before...
Don't worry about it!
Sorry!
You're late again, Shinnosuke!
Okay, let's get this started!
Kyu...
Kyu? Kyu—
Yes?
Huh?
Our fugitive is Taga Hajime, 40 years old.
We need to track this dirtbag down. First Division's backing us up.
Right, guys?!
Right!
Not on my watch, they're not!
He's back!
Captain Honganji...
Captain Honganji?
Mr. Honganji... I'm taking my force back, got it?
Huh? Right now?
Aw, come on... that's so mean!
Please don't do this, Nira.
First Division has seen the monsters and the Riders for themselves!
You again?
What does it matter?
Even if these monster-killing Kamen whatevers do exist,
that just proves how pointless the Special Crimes Unit is.
Well, that Kamen whatever is part of the Special Crimes Unit!
If you can't take the criticism, then why don't you catch Taga?
Men, let's go!
Sorry about this, Shinnosuke...
I just want you to know I've got your back, at least.
Gen...
Yeah.
That makes me so happy, I could cry.
But I still can't transform into Drive when you're around...
These Roy Muchos...
I mean, Roy Mochas...
Whatever they are, if he's using their power to cause trouble then he's even worse scum than I thought.
Damn cop killer...
What are you doing?!
Cop killer...?
Then he...?
Yeah.
That's what he was up to before he was caught.
He was found guilty of murdering an officer.
I knew I'd seen him before...
Hayase arrested this guy!
I'm gonna send you to hell!
I know who I'm going after first...
Evacuate?
Do you realize what you're asking, Tomari?!
Taga's a monster now!
And he's out for revenge...
You're in danger, and so is everyone in that hospital.
Do you realize how many patients here can't be moved?
Look, I'm on the way. At least try to hide.
You again...?
What do you want?
You saw the new enemy we're facing, didn't you?
The only way to save the human it fused with is to get a sample of an upgraded Roidmude.
Why are you telling me this?
Because...
I believe that you're on our side.
No, I am a Roidmude!
Saijou?!
Why are you...?
S-Shinnosuke asked me to keep an eye on you...
You were acting strange...
I see...
It's okay.
He's on our side.
I'm sure of it.
I trust you.
I know that Roidmudes aren't all bad...
Chase, please!
Kiriko!
BRAKE UP!
Chase?!
I am an upgraded Roidmude, after all...
Thank you.
What was that—?!
Rinna, I've got your sample from an upgraded Roidmude.
Rinna?!
Where you at, Hayase?
You're not going to use a Density Shift?
I wanna hear that punk's screams in real time.
Whoa, you really came out!
It's just me you're after, right?
So leave these people out of it!
Now, that's funny!
You're gonna die!
TRIDORON SHOOT!
Hayase!
Are you out of your mind?!
You're pissing me off!
That's right, get angry!
Unleash your rage! Take your revenge!
Yeah!
Gen!
Gou!
What kind of lowlife attacks a hospital?
Don't expect any mercy!
Is that the best you got?!
You think you're hot stuff, huh?
THE FINISHER! FULL THROTTLE!
Say your prayers!
Wait!
Don't forget, that's still a human!
So what am I supposed to do?!
I don't have my belt...
Here it is!
Rinna!
- Tune-up's all done!
No!
What was that?
Did that thing talk?!
Who was that?
You can't! Not here!
Rinna, just give me the belt!
But...
- Hurry! - Let me see!
Heads up!
Shinnosuke, I can't let you transform in front of them!
Aren't we supposed to protect them?!
Isn't that a Kamen Rider's duty?!
But—
I won't...
I won't stand by while Hayase's life is in danger, again...
I understand!
Start your engine!
Transform!
DRIVE: TYPE SPEED!
Tomari...?!
S-Shinnosuke is...!
Kamen Rider Drive?!
Bring it on!
Yeah, get him!
DRIVE: TYPE FORMULA!
TIRE CHANGE! FORMULA ZERO THREE!
So fast!
Can we use the finishing move to separate them?
The new data has been installed.
As long as we can trust the sample Kiriko obtained.
Kiriko found it? That's good enough for me!
Okay, switch back to the Speed Tire!
Got it!
DRIVE: TYPE SPEED!
THE FINISHER!
FULL THROTTLE! SPEED!
Okay...
Not so fast!
Alright!
Shinnosuke!
Nice driving, Shinnosuke.
That's...!
Taga Hajime.
You're under arrest for escaping police custody and attempted murder.
I'll handle it.
Tomari, you're...
This is what I do now.
I'm a cop... and a Kamen Rider.
Picture perfect, huh?
NICE WORK!
Gou?!
Tomari Shinnosuke arrested Taga?!
That's impossible...
Huh?
And he's the Kamen Rider?!
It's the Kamen Rider's headquarters!
T-This is too much at once...
My head is spinning!
Hey...
Sorry for not letting you guys know sooner...
I hate to ask, but can you keep this quiet for now?
Oh, Tomari...
No need for that.
Captain?!
Now the whole Special Crimes Unit knows, so no more need for secrets.
Isn't that right, Krim?
W-Well...
"Krim"?!
Don't tell me...
Captain, have you known this whole time?!
Indeed, Captain Honganji has been one of my greatest colleagues.
He was the one who founded the Special Crimes Unit...
As a means of having Drive operate within the police force.
So then...
That means...
That means...!
This is bad, Honganji! He's upset again!
Shinnosuke has little patience for secrecy!
Thank goodness!
Now we can all work together, and I can fight as Kamen Rider without hiding it!
Ow!
- What a relief...!
Well, of course!
Heck, the eyes of the entire world are gonna be on you now...
On Kamen Rider Drive aka Tomari Shinnosuke!
Kamen Rider Drive: Police Agent Armed With Secret Weaponry?
Kamen Rider's in the news?!
Wait, who spilled the beans?!
Kiriko, we need to...!
It was me, alright? I leaked it to the media!
Captain, how could you?!
What's the big deal?
Kamen Rider Drive!
This Rider...
This Rider's
Transform.
Chaser?!
Chaser!
Don't miss this latest twist in the series!
Episode 26 Where is Chaser heading towards?
WAIT FOR IT!
