Houjou Emu, a pediatric intern, is working as a doctor of CR to save patients from the Bugster virus.
In the battle to save their patient,
Houjou Emu and Kagami Hiiro both lost their Level 3 Gashats to Hanaya Taiga.
Meanwhile, Kujou Kiriya investigates the mystery of how Emu is able to transform into a Kamen Rider.
Why am I stuck with cleaning duty?
Episode 9: Beat The Dragon!
I have a report I need to submit for a conference...
Enough blabbering! I want the entire place sparkling!
These are... Director's orders!
Ah, busy busy busy!
It's dirty here! And here too! And even here!
Hurry!
He said the Ministry's coming to inspect CR.
Don't embarrass me now, all right?
The head of CR, the Health Minister's Secretariat, is visiting!
You mean Dr. Kyoutarou?
Why are you calling Secretary Hinata by his first name?
Show some respect!
Dr. Kyoutarou saved my life.
Hinata Kyoutarou.
So you're the founder of CR.
And who might you be?
CR is an obstacle to us Bugsters.
Bugsters?!
Become a sacrifice for my comrades.
Are you all right? Hang in there!
Man, of all times!
Hello, this is the Cyber Rescue—
Well, if it isn't Secretary Hinata!
What? You were infected by a Bugster?
Dr. Kyoutarou was?
Are you all right, Secretary Hinata?
Not to worry! My son is on his way right now!
All right, enough! We need to diagnose the patient!
- Hold it! Listen to me!
Emu.
I never thought we'd meet again under circumstances like these.
It'll be fine. I'll save him for sure.
Your smile is proof of your health.
I'll save you for sure.
It's time for me to return the favor.
It's the game illness, isn't it.
Yes.
These symptoms...
Just like back then...
Ow ow ow...
What is with them? Sheesh.
Oh, Hiiro!
I can always count on you, son!
Back up, back up! Enough, I said! Leave the rest to us!
Is that how you treat the Director?!
I need a doctor!
Not to worry. There is nothing I cannot cut.
Please, wait! The virus hasn't broken out yet!
I'll just have to force it out.
Stop acting so recklessly!
You're in my way. Get out, intern.
TADDLE QUEST!
This one's different from usual.
I can't leave this to you, Hiiro.
Transform.
MIGHTY ACTION X!
CLICK AND LOAD!
LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHATCHA NAME?!

I'll save you right away, Doctor.
STAGE SELECT
Huh? It's gone.
This dragon...
It's one of the villains of Drago Knight Hunter Z,
a hunting game for up to four players where they try to subdue dragons.
Well said.
Graphite!
I knew you were behind this!
Why are you after Dr. Kyoutarou?
To create more allies,
and eventually build an army for us Bugsters.
Just see for yourself how terrifying my new power is!
DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER Z!
Cultivate.
He's different from before!
Just as planned.
As I had predicted, Graphite has stolen the Proto Gashat and is now on a rampage.
A terrifying man as usual, aren't you?
If Graphite goes berserk with his new powers,
the Riders' lives will truly be in danger.
Now, if we can just collect some practical battle data for this game,
then we can complete Phase One.
Watch out now.
I'll make you pay for taking over Saki!
What's wrong? Is that all you've got?
Bring it on!
Get lost.
It still has a lot of growing to do.
Rumbling Draconian Onyx Blade!
He got away.
Is that the tenth Gashat?
Dr. Hanaya!
Having you come and go as you please just won't do.
Counting all of us Riders' Gashats, plus the dark Ex-Aid's Shakariki Sports, that's nine of them.
I wonder...
Who will the tenth one be going to?
At the very least, I can say it won't be you.
Hiiro, you can't act without first ascertaining the patient's condition.
What if something were to happen to Dr. Kyoutarou?!
Do you have a problem with me, intern?
I want to save the doctor at all costs!
Personal feelings, again?
Coming from the one who's in this for revenge!
What's that?
Am I wrong?
Stop fighting, you two!
Yes, listen to her.
If you don't work with your hearts as one, you won't be able to defeat Graphite.
Is that a new Gashat?
That's right.
It's our key to countering Graphite,
the Level 5 Gashat.
Level 5?
The thing is, this Gashat is still incomplete.
To complete it, we need some data from a Hunter Gamer.
Oh, like from that dragon's game!
I hope you two will help complete it by defeating the Gamer.
Understood. I'll do it.
Dr. Kyoutarou is very special to me.
That's why—
Graphite is my enemy!
I'll be the one to save the doctor!
Calm down, you two.
This Gashat is different in the sense that
it was developed with accommodating four players in mind.
It's a very difficult game.
It's very dangerous for someone to use alone.
No matter what kind of game it is,
I'll show you that I can clear it.
Emu!
I'm sorry about what happened. Are you all right?
Leave it to me, I'll definitely save you.
I'll help you get changed, Secretary.
Can you sit up?
Hey, Hiiro!
I just had a chat with the CEO of Genm. Why did you give it up so easily?
The one to operate on Secretary Hinata should be you!
It was unbecoming of me.
I had almost let myself stoop to the intern's level.
A doctor must stay calm under any circumstance.
You're right.
That's my son!
Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but...
to use the Gamer Driver, one has to undergo the compatibility operation.
That is, introducing a small sample of the Bugster virus to produce antibodies within the subject.
That's the operation you received five years ago.
What about it?
So why doesn't the intern know anything about being a compatible user?
Becoming a user...?
What does he mean?
Oh, right! Why don't we go out for some desserts?
H-H-Hiiro, what would you like? P-P-Papa would just get a M-M-Mont Blanc or something.
You're already eating one.
What are you hiding?
Houjou Emu has never received such an operation.
So about Houjou Emu's operation...
Right. According to his medical history, he's only ever had one operation 16 years ago.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The Coroner's Office received his body.
So, I need to check his records to ascertain the cause of death.
But the operation was 16 years ago.
Would it really be related to his death?
Who was the surgeon at the time?
It was someone who was appointed to the Ministry of Health.
I think it was Dr. Hinata Kyoutarou.
It'll be fine. I'll save him for sure.
It was all thanks to you 16 years ago, Dr. Kyoutarou,
that I'm here today.
I've admired doctors like you since then,
and I want to save others just like you did for me.
The boy that liked video games sure has grown into a fine young man.
I'm only still studying as an intern, though.
Just don't try to do it alone.
Huh?
Treating the game illness is dangerous and puts your life at risk.
I'll be all right.
I won't lose to anyone when it comes to games.
However...
Please, just trust me!
This is an operation only I can perform!
Calm down now. You're kind of weird today, Emu.
All this time, I've been doing all I can to keep the Bugsters hidden from the world.
The one thing that would put me under pressure is
revealing the Bugsters and sending everyone into a panic.
Which means...
The Bugsters would most likely target somewhere crowded...
to create a large scale epidemic.
It's dangerous to go alone!
Are you all right?
Don't tell me...
It's the game illness.
No way... this many people already?
Over there, huh.
All should tremble in fear of the mysterious virus.
Stop it!
I won't let you do as you please.
How foolish of you to come alone.
DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER Z!
I'll change the doctor's fate...

And the doctors are still butting heads!
It'll be all right. If anyone can do it, it's you, Emu.
