I've gotta believe!
I don't wanna know about how cliché the world is
I don't wanna know, and I'm better off not knowing
Why why why why?!
Before I knew it, I had come too far
I can't stop this premonition
The new beginning!
It's time to unlock this new area!
I gotta believe!
(Turn it on!)
I'm so EXCITE! EXCITE! Raise the beat!
EXCITE! EXCITE! Let it guide you!
I'll rush down the path my heart desires!
(Hey!) I'm on a mission right now!
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is...
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is...!
(One!) In my hands, I hold
(Two!) A life that should continue!
(Three!) You just gotta live!
Pediatric intern Hojo Emu works as a doctor for CR,
saving patients from the threat of the Bugster virus.
While fighting for a patient's life,
Hanaya Taiga took the Lv. 3 Gashats from Hojo Emu and Kagami Hiro.
Meanwhile, Kujo Kiriya is intrigued about Emu's ability to transform into a Rider.
Why am I the one cleaning?
I have to do a presentation on this one conference paper...
Beat the Dragon!
Just leave it! You have to scrub this place squeaky clean!
Director's orders.
Man, I'm so busy...
This is really dirty! Oh, this too!
I gotta clean this up, or else...!
The Ministry is coming to inspect CR, they say.
Mind your manners now.
The Assistant Secretary of the Ministry and highest authority in CR will be visiting us today.
Wait, Dr. Kyoutaro?!
Why are you calling him by his first name?
You're being rude!
I owe him my life.
You must be Hinata Kyoutaro, CR's founder.
Who are you?
The CR is a problem for us Bugster.
Bugster...?
You will be a sacrifice for our allies.
Are you alright?
Sir, are you alright?!
Boy, now's not the time...
Yes, this is the Cyber Rescue—
Oh, Secretary Hinata!
What?! You're infected with Bugster?!
Dr. Kyoutaro is infected?!
Are you alright, Secretary Hinata?
Please, do not worry. My son will soon be here.
Alright, alright. You're gonna get in the way of examination.
Wait, wait! Don't do anything rash!
Emu...
To think we'd meet again like this.
It's okay. I'm going to save you.
That smile is proof that you are healthy.
I will save you.
This time, I will return the favor.
It's game disease, isn't it?
Yes.
This symptom...
It's the same as that time...
Owowow....
What's with her? Seriously...
Oh, Hiro!
I'm counting on you.
Alright, alright! Leave the rest to us.
- Wait, wait! Hey!
I'm the Director here!
Oh no... Now I have to go to a hospital...
Please, do not worry. There is nothing I cannot cut.
Wait a second! It hasn't broken out yet!
Then I will take the Bugster virus out.
Don't be so rough on him!
Out of my way!
Get out, intern.
TADDLE QUEST!
It's different from the usual virus.
I can't leave this to you, Hiro!
Transform.
MIGHTY ACTION X! CLICK AND LOAD!
Transform!
LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHATCHA NAME?!
I'M A KAMEN RIDER!
Doctor, I'll save you!
STAGE SELECT!
Huh? It's not here.
That's the dragon from Drago Knight Hunter Z.
It's a four-player co-op game where you hunt dragons.
You are correct.
Graphite!
So you were behind all this...
Why are you after Dr. Kyoutaro?!
My goal is to create more Bugster...
...and to build an army of them.
Now, feast upon my new power!
DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER! Z!
Replicate.
He's different than usual!
All according to plan.
Graphite stole the prototype Gashat, and is now running amok.
You really scare me, man.
If Graphite is running wild with that power...
The Riders will have their toughest fight yet.
All that's left is to collect the combat data on this game...
And with it, we'll reach our first stage's objective.
Let's do this.
I will make you pay for taking over Saki!
What's wrong? That's all you got?
I've got you now!
You're in the way!
Still not fully evolved, I see.
Blackest Dragon Slash!
He got away.
So that's the tenth Gashat?
Dr. Hanaya...
Could you please refrain from trespassing on our offices?
Including that Black Ex-Aid and his Shakariki Sports, so far we have nine Gashats.
Now I wonder...
Who are you giving the tenth one to?
Unfortunately, it won't be you.
Hiro...
Our patient's safety should be our first priority!
What will you do if something happens to him?!
Are you giving me your opinion, intern?
I want to save him, no matter what!
Again with your personal feelings?
You're one to talk... you were out for revenge!
- What?! - It's the truth!
Stop fighting, you two!
She's right.
If you can't work together, you won't be able to beat Graphite.
Is that a new Gashat?
It is.
This is the key to defeating Graphite...
A Level 5 Gashat.
Level 5?
Unfortunately, this Gashat is still unfinished.
To finish it, we need data from a Hunter Gamer...
The dragon we just fought!
Please beat the game, and help me complete this Gashat.
Understood. I will do it.
Dr. Kyoutaro means a lot to me.
That's why...!
Graphite is my enemy!
I will be the one to save him!
Calm down, you two.
This game is unique from the others.
It's a much more challenging game, since it's designed for a four-player co-op.
It's dangerous to use it on your own.
I don't care what game it is...
I will clear it!
Emu!
I'm so sorry...
Are you alright?
Yes...
I will definitely cure you, Doctor.
Let's get you changed, Mr. Secretary.
Can you get up?
Hey, Hiro.
I just met the GENM President.
Why are you backing down?
You should be the one operating on the Assistant Secretary!
I was acting irrationally, almost like that intern.
A doctor must remain composed at all times.
Yes, you're right!
Now that's my son!
Anyway, if I'm not mistaken...
To use the Gamer Driver, one must go under a compatibility surgery.
You're injected with a small sample of Bugster virus, so your body can build up antibodies for them.
Yeah, you got that operation five years ago. What about it?
Why didn't the intern know about the procedure?
To be a user...What do you mean by that?
T-That's right! Let's eat something sweet!
W-What do you want, Hiro?
I-I think your daddy wants a Mont Blanc...
You're eating one right now.
What are you hiding?
Hojo Emu did not have the surgery.
Has Hojo Emu ever undergone surgery?
Yes.
According to his file, he's had one surgery sixteen years ago.
Thanks for your help.
You see, we got a body coming to the Examiner's Office.
I believe the cause of death can be found by examining Emu's records.
But that was sixteen years ago...
I don't think it would be related...?
Do you know who was the surgeon?
I think he's working in the ministry right now.
It was Dr. Hinata Kyoutaro.
It's okay. I'm going to save you.
I'm here now because you saved me, sixteen years ago.
I've always admired doctors like you.
That's why I want to use this second lease on life to help others.
You were just a little boy that loved video games back then.
You've grown up so much.
I'm still just an intern, I still have a lot to learn about...
But don't do anything rash.
Treating game disease is dangerous, the doctor might die himself.
Don't worry.
I won't lose to anyone on videogames.
But...
Please trust me!
I have to do this operation myself!
Calm down, Emu! You're acting strange today, you know?
I've been doing all I can to keep Bugster away from the public eye.
If I have to guess, the Bugster will try to attack civilians in order to stress me out.
So that means...?
The Bugster might be aiming to infect people at a mass scale.
They'll do it somewhere bustling with people...
You can't do it on your own!
Are you alright?!
Can it be...?!
Game disease...
No way... This many...?
There!
Tremble in fear, as an unknown virus spread upon you!
Stop it!
I won't let you do what you want!
What a fool, coming here by yourself.
DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER! Z!
I will change the doctor's fate...

Irregular Doctors!
The objective is to hunt Graphite!
