Episode 25: New Game Start!
I wonder why?
I heard your next internship is with internal medicine.
Have you given up on it already?
No, that's not it.
I was just thinking about how we haven't seen Poppy around recently.
Come to think of it, it has been a lot quieter around here.
This is the Cyber Rescue Center.
Right.
An emergency call.
Cyber Rescue Center.
Same here.
Huh? Why are there so many calls coming in?
Hey! Over here!
Were you the one that called us?
That's right.
I caught him trespassing before he fell ill.
Are you all right? I'll need to examine you.
What is that? These symptoms are different from usual.
It's dangerous around here, sonny.
I'm sorry.
I was being chased by some enemies, so I—
Enemies?
Sorry, but I can't let the other players beat me.
A Gashat?!
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
ENTER THE GAME! RIDING THE END!
He transformed...
All right, here I go!
Hey, wait!
Wait a second!
Who?
Wait!
I'll be the one to defeat Salty!
Take that!
What is all this?
The patients are fighting the Bugsters...
What is going on?
Transform!
MIGHTY ACTION X!
CLICK AND LOAD!
Don't go near the Bugsters! They're dangerous!
Stop interfering with my game!
What?
Get lost!
Ow...
What's his problem?
Um, do I start the game with... this button?
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
ENTER THE GAME! RIDING THE END!
How do I play this game?
Is there no tutorial?
Hello!
Huh?
You called?
Poppy!
I'm your navigator, Poppy Pipopapo!
No way...
Genm Corporation
How are Genm Corporation's stocks skyrocketing like this?
Bad news, Taiga! Look at this! Look!
You're so annoying! I don't have time for that!
I'm serious! Hurry up and look at this!
What?! Isn't that—
Pip!
Poppy Pipopapo?
Where are you looking?
SHOCK!
In this game, players transform into heroes called Ride Players and fight Bugsters in the real world!
Welcome to...
Kamen Rider Chronicle!
Kamen Rider... Chronicle?!
The next generation of gaming is here!
Kamen Rider Chronicle is the ultimate battle game that blends the virtual with the real!
Get your copy today!
You, too, can be a hero!
What? Kamen Rider Chronicle?!
A life or death survival game where citizens are turned into Riders,
and must fight monsters in the real world!
No way...!
This can't be happening!
There are a total of 13 Bugsters across all tiers.
If you can defeat all the Bugsters and gather the trophies from clearing the game...
The door to the ultimate Bugster of this world - the final boss - will open!
Hey, Poppy! What are you talking about?!
Got it. So I have to defeat Salty first, right?
Hey!
He's mine to defeat!
- Hold it! - Wait!
How feeble!
Taste my salt!
Still too feeble!
Your levels are undercooked.
There's no way you can beat me this easily!
Extra! Extra! I've got some great news for players on lower levels!
In addition to Bugsters, rare characters known as Kamen Riders will appear within the game field!
They carry some nifty items known as Gamer Drivers, Rider Gashats, and Gashacon Weapons!
She's talking about these...
Find them, defeat them, and get your hands on some rare items!
Rare characters...
Now, who's going to be the first one to reach the first boss?
Shoot for the top as the world's number one hero! Let's game!
Wait— Poppy!
Hey, so... are those guys Kamen Riders?
Huh?
All right! I'm gonna get those rare items and level up!
Hey, wait!
- Let's go! - Me too!
Right.
Wait! Stop it!
Gimme that!
I'm not your enemy!
Quit it! Stop!
Give me your items, Kamen Rider!
This is no longer...
...an operation!
That's hot!
Where'd he go?
Hey, where are you going?
Isn't it obvious? Let's go.
Hey, wait up!
Hey—!
Geez, what the hell is going on?!
CLICK TO SAVE!
Stop attacking me!
MAXIMUM MIGHTY X!
Max Transformation Plus!
MAXIMUM CLICK AND LOAD!
LEVEL MAX!
MAXIMUM POWER X!!
That Kamen Rider is too strong!
I'll get you next time!
I won't give up...!
CLICK AND CLOSE!
CLICK TO SAVE!
I win. The game's over.
Are you all right?
Your symptoms are worsening.
I have to take you to CR.
Kamen Rider Chronicle...
You're the new president of Genm Corp., aren't you?
What do we have here? Two wonderful lovebirds!
Lovebirds?
That's right. I am the new president of Genm Corporation,
Amagasaki Ren.
My motto is “from all around the world; I Love You”.
The hell?!
Why is every president of Genm Corp. a weirdo?
Why are you selling Kamen Rider Chronicle?
You went and released them without making any announcements! That makes no sense.
That game was first put into motion by Dan Kuroto.
You could say it's our company secret.
Then why has Poppy Pipopapo been caught up in this game?
She's working for the Ministry of Health and CR.
What did you do to her?
I merely offered her a chance to play the mascot of our new game.
Anything wrong with that?
The time when you, too, will fall deep into Kamen Rider Chronicle will come.
What's on your mind?
Dan Kuroto had been collecting the data of the Bugsters.
Kamen Riders and Bugsters are nothing more than the pieces for the ultimate game.
That means there's a possibility that Poppy Pipopapo is a vital part of Kamen Rider Chronicle.
And if so, then what?
All we know now is that nothing good will come from this game.
Game illness?
That's what I have?
That's right... but don't worry, Mr. Tenma.
You should be cured if Salty is defeated.
That means we just have to clear the game, right?
So I have to—
No no no!
You can't! Leave this matter to us doctors!
It's fine. I'm good at games.
No, I said you can't!
That's mine!
This thing is truly dangerous!
An emergency call!
Just stay put.
Hey!
Poppy Pipopapo!
We have you to thank for the astounding success of Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Really?
Awesome! Yay!
I pity Genm.
The game he spent over 10 years developing ended up getting stolen by us Bugsters.
Now your dream has come true. Good for you, Parad!
Thanks. This is all very exciting.
I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Kamen Rider Chronicle is finally here!
KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE!
Are you all right?
ENTER THE GAME! RIDING THE END!
How feeble!
MIGHTY ACTION X!
Hm?
Transformation Plus.
CLICK AND LOAD!
CLICK AND OPEN!
LEVEL UP!
MIGHTY ACTION X!
GASHACON BREAKER!
You've gotten stronger, Salty!
Of course I have.
The more a Bugster falls, the stronger they return!
I'm now at Level 10!
Level 10?
Then, me too!
Hold it. Before that...
Now's our chance! Defeat the rare character!
Hey! Stop!
- Gimme! - Hey, give it back!
CLICK TO SAVE!
Hell yeah!
Sweet! Gashat GET!
Please, give it back!
MIGHTY BROTHERS XX!
I can defeat Salty with this!
GIRI GIRI CHAMBARA!
GASHACON KEY SLASHER!
GASHACON BREAKER!
GASHACON SPARROW!
Why don't I get anything?
Are you having fun, M?
Welcome,
to the world of the ultimate game.
Kamen Rider Chronicle is the game I've always wanted.
I have Genm to thank for realizing my dream.
Parad...
You killed Genm just so you could steal this game?
That's right.
Now, it's time for me to have some fun.
PERFECT PUZZLE!
WHAT'S THE NEXT STAGE?
Transform.
DUAL UP!
PERFECT PUZZLE!
Is that guy a Kamen Rider too?
He's going down!
No! Don't go near him!
I'm serious!
Move it!
Now, it's time for the puzzle of your fate.
SUPER SPEED!
SUPER JUMP!
SUPER STRENGTH!
FINISHER!
DUAL CLICK AND LOAD!
PERFECT CRITICAL COMBO!
GAME OVER
One more try!
What the hell?
What's happening to us?!
Hello! You called?
I'm your navigator, Poppy Pipopapo!
If a player loses in a fight and gets a game over,
they will die!
Die...?
No...
No! What the hell?! I don't want to die!
Somebody save us!
There are no continues in this game! You only have one life, so take good care of it!
Shoot for the top as the world's number one hero! Let's game!
What do you think, M?
Isn't this the most exciting game ever?
This is awful...
Why would you do this?
I can't forgive humans.
They just parade around thinking they're the best in the world.
Kamen Rider Chronicle isn't a game where humans defeat Bugsters.
It's a game where Bugsters defeat humans to eventually wipe out humanity.
What?
Cut the crap!
Have a taste of your own medicine.
It's your turn to feel what it's like to be hunted.
Us Bugsters will become the rulers of the Earth in no time.
But I want to let all our dear players have more fun!
Yes, I agree.
A one-sided game is just so boring.
Poppy Pipopapo.
I look forward to seeing what you can do.
That's right. What good is a game if you can't enjoy it thoroughly?
NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid...
The stakes rise in this game of life or death.
This is what all you humans want, isn't it?
What's the point of this absurd game?
Even so, the doctors—
Trust in themselves to rise to the challenge!
Just what does it mean to be a doctor?
I must fight for the patients before me!
