You're a stubborn man, officer.
The incident from five years ago is already solved.
No, it's not over yet.
Two persons of interest related to your case have gone missing.
I have nothing to say to you.
Wait! Just what are you hiding?!
What's wrong?
Are you alright?
Somebody! I need help!
So tired...
Emu, are you okay?
Is it your game disease acting up?
Ah, no...
Hiiro was so strict on today's internship, and...
Pursue the Mystery!
Oh, nevermind then.
Ow!
Sorry, Emu...
As I thought, game disease treatment might be the only thing you're good at.
You better thank Poppy Pipopapo for recruiting you into CR.
Actually, it wasn't my idea...
Kuroto suggested we should recruit you.
Genm did...?
What is this 'ultimate game' he wants to create?
Don't think too much about it.
Our job as doctors is to save patients, not solve mysteries.
Are you alright?
This way.
This is the man.
Who are you people?
We're doctors from CR.
CR?
Excuse me.
It's game disease.
Game disease...?
We'll transport you to CR.
Cut it out! Just leave me be.
Please, don't exert yourself.
I told you, just leave me alone!
Hey...
Let me see Dan Masamune one more time.
Dan Masamune...?
The ex-CEO of Genm Corporation.
The culprit behind Zero Day, and Kuroto's father.
I will find out the truth...
Everyone, please evacuate!
Proceeding with level 5.
Transform
TADDLE QUEST! DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER!
STAGE SELECT!
I am the great Kaiden, of the thirtieth standing.
Fine, a battle of swords it is!
En garde.
There you are.
Don't get in the way of the operation!
I'm not here for you two.
SMAAACK!
Snipe, I will reclaim your Gashat.
Funny, I was gonna say the same thing.
A fine swordsmanship. But still too weak!
Here it comes!
That was close!
Watch it!
Stand back, intern.
CLICK TO SAVE! CLICK TO LOAD!
FINISHING MOVE!
Oh no you don't!
I'll do it!
CLICK TO CLOSE! FINISHING MOVE!
DRAGO KNIGHT MIGHTY DOUBLE CRITICAL STRIKE!
What's wrong?
My strength is waning...
I shall retreat to the shadows, for the time being.
Begone.
CLICK AND LOAD! FINISHING MOVE!
You first.
CLICK TO CLOSE! FINISHING MOVE!
CLICK AND OPEN!
BANG BANG CRITICAL FIRE!
CRITICAL FINISH!
Too easy.
Did you think you could beat my Level 50 form with your Level 10 powers?
Gloat about it while you still can.
By the way, you shouldn't stick your nose into things that don't concern you.
That is, if you don't want to suffer the same fate as Kujo Kiriya.
Hey!
The data on death is accumulating nicely.
I just need to take fatal damage once more...
With it, Genm will awaken to its level X.
Is this the Cyber Rescue Center?
Yes.
How are you feeling, Mr. Uesugi?
You were talking in your sleep.
It's fine. I'm a cop, toughing it out is part of the job.
- Please, it's dangerous... - You have to rest!
- Are you okay? - Take it easy, sir...
My son was infected by the Bugster Virus, and vanished!
The Ministry took over the case, so I investigated it privately.
I wanted to find out the truth behind Zero Day, and avenge my son's death.
But I thought the case was solved after Dan Masamune was arrested...
No, it's not solved yet.
He confessed to his crimes, but he never really explained the origins of the Bugster Virus.
And this last Christmas, two men vanished.
Dan Kuroto, the son of Dan Masamune...
And medical examiner Kujo Kiriya, who met with Dan Masamune shortly before disappearing.
This case is far from over.
Mr. Uesugi!
Um... I will investigate the case in your place.
What are you talking about? You're a doctor, Emu.
She's right, investigating things are for us cops.
No, this is also part of my job.
I want to cure your disease, and make you smile again.
Where are you going?
Genm must've killed Kiriya because he discovered something, after talking to Dan Masamune.
I want to know what he found out.
I told you already, solving mysteries is not a doctor's job.
Hiiro, could you look over the patient?
I leave him in your care.
Do you want to meet the same end as that examiner?!
I just want to know.
I want to know the secret that costed Kiriya his life.
GAME OVER
We'll contact you if we find something. Please look after the patient.
Yay!
Give it back!
Isn't it great that you got a Gashat back?
That zombie guy must've been hella pissed off!
This is not the end of it.
I'm going to crush him completely.
Wait, but he's like an immortal zombie or something...
Can you even do that?
There is a way.
An eye for an eye, a game for a game.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Hojo Emu, from Seito University Hospital.
Emu...
You're Emu?
Do you know about me, sir?
What do you want?
The medical examiner Kujo Kiriya was killed last Christmas, after he visited you.
Your son did it.
I see.
A pity, I expected much from him...
Expected much?
What did you talk about on that day?
Can you stop my son?
I can't!
I can't accept all this money!
Hey!
Just take it and make me a new Gashat.
If that isn't enough, I can pay more. Name your price.
I mean, this is all so sudden...
What? Did you already forget what Genm did to you?
Burgmon!
Of course not! I still resent him for what he did!
Then make him pay for it!
GAME OVER
What kind of Gashat do you want?
A game where you deal with immortal zombies.
What now?
Let's go back to the hospital.
We need to tell Mr. Uesugi everything.
I warned you not to pry into things.
Kuroto...
Your father told us everything.
It all began back then...
...in the year 2000, just after the panic of Y2K had passed.
Y2K? What do you mean?
Back then, people thought all computers would malfunction the moment the year 2000 began...
In the end, nothing happened.
No, that's when the fate of humanity changed.
On that moment, one computer had a malfunction that went unnoticed...
That's how the Bugster Virus was born.
Kuroto was the one who first discovered it.
Dad! Dad!
What is it, Kuroto?
Look at this!
Is this...
A new type of computer virus?
You used the virus to trigger Zero Day, five years ago.
And then you incriminated your father as the mastermind.
There was no other way!
I need to complete the ultimate game...
I couldn't risk getting arrested before that happens.
I can't believe you...
You even sacrificed your own father!
Sorry...
What's the point of trying to find out what happened back then?
Even if you do...
Saki!
It won't bring that person back.
I couldn't protect my dear son.
On top of that, I've yet to discover the truth of this case...
I'm a terrible detective.
DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER! TADDLE QUEST!
Ms. Uesugi's Bugster broke out!
Now then, can you save him?
DANGEROUS ZOMBIE!
MIGHTY BROTHERS XX!
Transform.
You're in the way, intern. I'll perform the operation.
Yes, please do.
I'm gonna handle Genm.
Snipe Level 50, huh?
That sounds like a fun challenge.
What an eyesore.
Mission start.
Let's go!
Not bad.
Knock Out Fighter has the disadvantage here, I guess.

Go hide somewhere, please.
Hey! What did you do just now?
Kamen Riders, Bugsters....
They're all just a part of the ultimate game.
And what is this ultimate game?
Kamen Rider Chronicle.
A game where civilians transform into Kamen Riders, fighting monsters in the real world.
A survival game where you gamble your life!
A game, you say?
You call putting lives in danger a game...
You killed Kiriya just for that?!
Small sacrifices are unavoidable.
Providing dreams and adventures for those who seek them...
That's the purpose of the entertainment known as games!
Only those with the talent of the gods can make that happen!
And I have what it takes!
Because of you, a lot of people have lost their lives.
Mr. Uesugi's family...
Hiiro's girlfriend...
And Kiriya...
I will avenge them all!
You can't stop me.
CLICK TO GO!
Not when I have obtained immortality, and the power of Level X.
DANGEROUS ZOMBIE!
BUG IT UP!
DANGER! DANGER! (GENOCIDE!) DEATH, THE CRISIS! DANGEROUS ZOMBIE!
Did he say Level X?
The unknown variable, X.
Does that mean his power's immeasurable?
I will definitely stop you!

Where did he go?
It's fine now. Your game disease is cured.
Thank you so much.
Don't thank me, Dr. Kagami handled the operation.
It's not just about the treatment.
You said that you will avenge my son.
I'm going to report my findings to the Ministry.
We must find out where Dan Kuroto is hiding, and stop his plans.
Yes.
So Emu is not only saving his patients...
He's also carrying the burden of the people who are gone.
I may have judged him too harshly, before.
I heard that!
Don't mind if I do!
H-Hey!
So good!
I'm no longer sick, so just help me get down here and...
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
A sudden death verdict?!
Help me! I don't want to die just yet!
Do you know how many people have died because of you?!
- Asuna... Asuna!
You must pay for your crimes.
Your game finally enters the final stage, huh?
The deadline looms...
The Implanted History!
Genm's extreme transformation!
Transform!
